at cheese mites through a microscope.
oh, yes, that is Michael, and that is
Captain Marriott, and they are going
up to look at the motor! The
motor has stopped. The driver is
getting down. They are examining
some part of the machine. Obvious
ly, Daisy, Michael has bought the
motor he spoke about, and they
are seeing if it will do. 1t means that
everything is now in good train. We
shall meet them at Bad Ftirstenberg."
She watched with eager scrutiny, and
Daisy watched her also.
Suddenly the girl saw that the
wrists which held up the glass began
to tremble. The Duchess wore a
bracelet of gold, studded with pearls
and turquoises, upon her wrist. 1t
moved in a strange and agitated way.
What is it?" Daisy said, suddenly.
The Duchess answered her in a
curious, muffled, and almost hypnotic
voice. There is something very GU
rious happening down there" she said.
Another motor-car has driven up to
the hotel. Mr.. Grant is examining
the first, and Captain Marriott is
standing by him. Out of the hotel
door a tan man has come, who is
holding a little girl Of three or four
years by the hand"
Then the Duchess stopped. She
kept the glasses up to her eyes and
said nothing for several seconds.
Then she threw the glasses down up
on the stone floor, and a strangled
scream rang out through the embra-
sures into the air.
Daisy" she said, half shouting,
half crying, 'the man has put the lit
tie child into the car. 1t has swung
round and driven off at once. The
little child stretched out a hand to-
wards Michael Grant. Michael Grant
turned round, caught Captain Mar
riott by the arm, and they both leapt
into their W car. The second car
has already gone round the facade
of the cathedral. The other has made
a turn and is following it. Daisy,
something has happened! Something
terrible has happened! Who was the
child that seemed to know M~ichael?"

CHAPTER XVI.
The Pace Begun!

The waiter came up to Captain
Marriott's room.
Gentlemen" he said, speaking that
excellent English hat all German
walters in Cologne achieve, 1.-THE
chauffeur has arrived and is waiting
below"
Come on, BASIL" Grant said.
Here is the car which was to arrive
in a few minutes. Come down and
give me your opinion of it,"
They went down together, and out
side the door of the hotel a great red
Dietrich was waiting, in charge of a
little man with a blond moustache
and circular spectacles, in a coat of
soiled black leather.
Now, here we are!" Grant said.
"Come on, Marriott, and examine our
car. You see, 1t has four cylinders,
and we have a spare Stepney wheel
as well as tires upon the roof; mol do
| think we could possibly have a bet
ter machine for our purpose than
this. Overhaul her in any way you
like; and then we'll get our bags
packed and be off at once. The
Duchess and Miss Hobson will catch
the night train. But, of course, it is
understood that we are going inde-
pendent of them"
The chauffeur got down from his
seat and came up to Grant, saying
something to him in cultural German.
Grant started. "Oh, really!" he
said; let's have a look" and together
the two went round the car and
peered under the chassis.
Marriott stood idly by the side of
the car. He knew a good deal about
automobiles. He was interested, OF
course, in this suddenly-purchased
machine, which was to take him and
Grant into the Principally. But he
was thinking of Daisy.
AS he was standing there, lightins
a cigarette, another automobile drove
up to the front door of the hotel. The
engines of the new car, which was
very similar to their own, were
thrown out Of gear, but not stopped.
The throbbing of the continuous ex-
plosions went on, filling the air with
sound.
by Jove!" Basil said to himself,
1T is like waking up among the side
drums of a ~tattoo."
He stood there putting at his Gig
aret, and waiting for Grant, who, with
the chauffeur. was still busily engaged
in peering at the machinery below the
tonneau.
AS he stood thus. a tall man with a
military walk and figure, and a blond
moustache waxed at the ends, came
out Of the hotel. He was dressed In
a suit of light tweeds, and he held by
the hand a little child, clothed In a
nondescript tunic. The child seemed
to walk somewhat unwillingly with
the big man, and 1t would have been
difficult for anyone to say whether
the little creature was a boy or q girl.
1t looked more like p girl.
The pair approached the motor. At
the moment they did so, and the tall
man was about to open the door,

Light Vote in Primary

Light voting was the rule today in
the Democratic primary to select a
nominee for police Judge and fill
vacancies in the general council and
the school board. Probably the light
est vote IN years will be polled. as the
interest IN the primary was never
lively.
Reports from all the polls are that
a light vote is being polled, and the
prospects are that the nominees will
be known before 6 O'Clock owing to
the few votes. At the north side Of
the court house, which has 200 regis
tered votes, only Is had voted at a
late hour In the morning, The OFF,
cials stated that no hope was held OF
the votes going over IS. Other pre-
