Where"
The Place of St John. No. H."
I>turned on him so angrily in my sur
prise that he drew back pace and his
right hand went to his pocket, where
L guessed he had a revolver. But he
forced a look of indifference, and keep
ing his eyes on mine jerked his head
in the direction
1T is only a short distance across the
square there"
1t was now quite clear my, scheme
had gone wrong. Either Nolna had
been prevented from coming to meet
me; or, having come, had been Scared
away by the mob or had given me up.
If she had returned home, she was al
ready in Bremenhof's power; and the
| sooner L knew of it the better. On the
other hand, if she was not there, and
he or his men were, ] could confront
him with the proof of his double deal
ing.
I don't see why we shouldn't adopt
the suggestion" I said, indifferently
IF Colonel Bremenhof has ordered me
to be Swallowed, / may as well know
why. Wen go there"
This way them, he replied, adding
after a pause, L trust you won't mis-
understand my position, Mr. An
| struther."
| my are you so dn&lUuS dDOQl II.
You have been so badly treated by
| the department, for one thing; and, of
| course, as a fellow member of the fra
| ternity, 1 am bound to help you all 1
can. But you don't seem to trust me"
How did you know Colonel Bremen
hoof was at this address, the Place Of
| st. John?'
He sent me word this morning" He
told the lie very plausibly and without
the slightest hesitation.
You know his affairs pretty closely
what do you suppose he is doing
| there"
Il should know well enough, but, you
see. / haven't been either at headquaF-
tiers or at his house since last night,
when 1 left to see you at the Hotel
| Vladimir"
Il should find it easier to believe you
if l had not myself sent the address TO
him this morning at time which made
it impossible for him to have commu-
nicated it to you"
He has a hundred secret sources OF
information. He must have known this
long before?"
"Why?"
He spread out his hand. How other
wise could he have sent it to me-
IF he did send it," 1 retorted dryly
| He stopped abruptly as though an
idea had just occurred to him. Wait
Wait. How did you send it to him?''
by my servant, Felsen."
Then that is it," he cried. L sus-
pected that fellow. 1t was he who told
me the address, declaring the chief haC
sent the message by him. He is {
traitor, that servant of yours. The
scoundrel." He was quite hot in hi:
indignation.
But you said he was suspect" 1 re
minded him.
Il wished to warn you. / told you NJ
talked. l wish l had spoken more pain
1y. But you are so quick, [ thought YOU
would understand"
II am beginning to now l replied
; as we hurried on.
As we reached the Place of St. JOIN
the noise of a great tumult reached u
from the direction in which we haC
seen the strikers marching; the sub
: dued roar of thousands of hOarse voices
followed first by some desultory shot
and then by the rattle of musketry fir
ing.
: The people about us paused, and thel
began to run in the direction of tn
sound.
/ 1T has begun" said Burski 9TH
/ troops are stationed by the government
= building and the strikers have come il
conflict with them"
1t was TO the accompaniment of thi
ominOus music of revolt we approache
the house. A small force of police Wer
D gathered before it, and I scanned tn
n windows eagerly for some sign of Vol
. | mas presence. I saw nothing.
There was a short delay before W
n were admitted. Burski drew aside tw
f of the men and during the short dis
a cussion curious looks were cast at me
In the end way was made for us an
. we were allowed to pass.
The moment we were inside Bursl
said I'VE must wait here" and al
d other man who was in the passae
placed himself by my side.
II It looked very much as though I ha
K walked into trap and was once MOI
FL under arrest.
Il I glanced at Burski. What does tn
!, mean?"
For answer he shrugged his shou
Is ders and threw up his hands as thong
he was as perplexed as 1. Simply Il
orders, that's ALL"
