tCo.sanuea from Yesterday,


Because II is necessary that some
one should keep close eye on Gros
Jean and the Turks. AS a matter OF
fact. Miss Talbot is doubly right Sir
Hubert B1tzJames might possibly be
made up 70 represent unvieux NOUS
tache. but It Is essential that he should
speak French WELL
Then" cried Sir Hubert decisively.
"I am out of court. because my French
il weak. and I always want to go Off
into Hindustani whenever I open my
mouth. Why. even this morning. when
rang for my hot Water, said TO the
waiter, 'Gurrum pani lao am cure
he thought was swearing at him"
Every WELL" concurred the barrister,
ut comes back to you. Talbot, and re-
gret to inform you that for the next
few hours you must be content with
the inferior cooking and accommoda-
ton Of the Jolies Femmes Hotel. II
you win come out with me now VIII
get you rigged up in a cheap French
suit That. and a supply Of bad cigar
cites. will provide sufficient disguise
for your purpose. You must pack a
few belongings In q green tin box and
betake yourself to the Jolies Femmes.
Do not make any inquiries about qros
Jean. Simply watch him"
"But what about the Turks?" said
Talbot. Perhaps two of these scoun-
drels may be the identical pair who ac-
companied Dubois to Albert Gate. 1t
is possible that they may recognize me
at once"
mo" said Brett decisively. 'This is
different gang. The two men who
committed the murders never came to
Paris. Dubois would not hear of it, l
am certain. II you act with discretion.
I am sure they will never suspect you"
Cant you find me Job?" de-
manded Fairholme
"Yes, a most pleasant one. 1t will
be your duty to accompany Miss Tai
bot and Sir Hubert, and show them
the sights of Marseilles l will meet
you here at luncheon, but we probably
cannot see Mr.. Talbot again until late
tonight. when he will have an oppor-
tunity to come here quietly and detail
the results of his observations. OF
course" he added, addressing the
young man directly, 'if anything Inn
portant happens during the day you
know where to find me. either per-
sonally or by messenger"
1t was natural that Edith's first step
with her lover and uncle would tend
towards the scene of her overnight ad-
venture. But Miss Talbot was a clear
headed girl, and took no risks. She
knew well that in a chance encounter
the sharp eyes Of Marie and Eugene
might pick her out unless she was to
some extent shrouded from observa-
ton. So she donned a large Paris hat
and a smart costume, which, with the
addition of a thick veii, rendered her
very unlike the girl who twelve hours
earlier was pursuing a recalcitrant
lover.
Secure in the changed appearance
effected by these garments, and
especially in the escort of two such
English-looking persons as Lord Fair
holme and Sir Hubert Fitzjames, she
walked with them down the Came
biere and on the quay. She showed
them the street up which she pursued
Mile. Beaucaire. and the point on the
wharf whence the fishing smack took
her departure into the unknown.
Then they strolled back around the
harbor, still pursuing the track Of
Edith's midnight wanderings. when
Fairholme suddenly whistled with
amazement.
by Jove. look there!" he cried.
That's a piece of luck
He pointed to the upper part of the
basin. in which a number of smart
yachts were anchored side by side.
Marseilles is a natural point of de-
parture for Mediterranean tours, and
many yacht-owners send their vessels
there to be coaled and stored for prof.
ected trips.
What is it7" queried Edith when
she could see nothing In the locality
indicated save the vessels and the
small expanse of water dancing in the
rays of bright sun.
''The very best thing that could have
happened. There is Daubeney's yacht.
the Blue-Bell''
