night, and still he clung on. At last
there came relief.
That's the place, where the lights
are-just ahead"
There was no mistaking that voice
raised above the clamor of the engine
The car slackened speed, and Mr..
Grimm dropped off and darted behind
some convenient bushes. And the first
thing he did there was to light a
match. and read what was written OF
the slip of paper pinned to his coat
1t was, simply:
MY Dear Mr.. Grimm:

efforts to prevent 1t, splendid as they
were, futile 1t is a tribute to you
that 1t was unanimously agreed that

eyes. A pail of gloom encompassed
him-a pail without one rift Of light.
His fingers, moving slowly, explored
the limits Of the couch whereon he
lay.
Confident, at last, that wherever he
was, he was unmatched, Mr.. Grimm
was on the point of concluding that
further inaction was useless, when his
straining ears caught the faint grating
of metal against metal-perhaps the
insertion of a key In the lock. His
hands grew still; his eyes closed. And
ly on its hinges, and a breath of cool
air informed MIR. Grimm that that
open door, wherever it was, led to the
outside, and freedom.
There was another faint creaking
as the door was shut. M. Grimm's
nerveless hands closed involuntarlly,
and his lips were set together tightly.
Was it to be a knife thrust in the
dark? If not-then what? He ex-
pected the flare of match; instead
there was a soft thread, and the rustic
of skirts. woman! Mr.. Grimm's
caution was all but forgotten in his
surprise. AS the steps drew nearer
his clencheds fingers loosened: he
waited
Two hands stretched forward in the
dark, touched him simultaneously
one on the face. one on the breast. A
singular thrill shot through him. but
there was not the flicker of an eye or
the twitching of finger. The woman
1t was woman-seemed now TO be
bending over him, then he heard her
drop on her knees beside him, and she
pressed an inquiring ear to his left
side. 1t was the heart test.
Thank God!" she breathed softly.
1t was only by a masterful effort
that Mr.. Grimm held himself limp and
inert for a strange fragrance was en-
.veloping him-a fragrance he well
knew.
The hands were fumbling at his
breast again, and there was the sharp
crackle of paper, At first he didn't
understand, then he knew that the
woman had pinned a paper to the
lapel Of his coat. Finally she straight
ened up, and took two steps away

from him, after which came a pause.
His keenly attuned ears caught her
faint breathing, then the rustic of her
skirts as she turned back. She was
leaning over him again-her lipg
touched his forehead, barely; again
there was a quick rustling of skirts,
the door creaked, and-silence, deep,
oppressive, overwhelming silence.
Isabel! Was he dreaming? And
then he ceased wondering and fell &c
remembering her kiss-light as air
and the softly spoken Thank God!"
She did care, then! She had under
stood, that day!
The kiss OF a woman beloved Is a
splendid heart tonic. Mr.. Grimm
Strengthened up suddenly on the
couch, himself again. He touched the
slip of paper which she had pinned to
his coat to make sure 1t was not all a
dream. after which he recalled the
fact that while he had heard the door
creak before she went out he had not
heard Il creak afterward. Therefore.
the door was open. She had left 1t
open. Purposely? That was beside
the question at the moment.
And why-how-was she in Wash
ington? Pondering that question, Mr
Grimm's excellent teeth clicked sharp
ly together and he rose. He knew the
answer. The compact was to be
signed-the alliance which would ar
ray the civilized world in arms. He
had failed to block that, as he thought.
If Miss Thorne had returned, then
Prince Benedetto d'Abruzzi, who held
absolute power to sign the compact
for Italy, France and Spain, had also
returned.
Stealthily feeling his way as he
went, Mr.. Grimm moved toward the
door leading to freedom, guided by
the fresh draft of air. He reached
the door-it was standing open-and
a moment later stepped out into the
star-lit night. 1t was open country

ahead, and farther along a fringe of
shrubbery. Mr.. Grimm reached the

lacing branches. The tail lamp of an
automobile, of course!
Mr.. Grimm left the road and skirt

the light. After a moment he heard
the engine of an automobile, and saw
woman-barely discernible-step
into the car. AS 1t started forward
he staked everything on one bold
move. and won, his reward being a

the car, hidden from its occupants by

opened new fields of conjecture. Mr..
Grimm had no recollection of ever
having seen him before; and he had
paid only the enforced attention OF
politeness to him. And why had the
drug been administered? Vaguely.
incoherently, Mr.. Grimm imagined
that in some way it had to do with the
great international plot of war in
which Miss Thorne was SO delicate
and vital an instrument.
Where was he? Conjecture stopped
there. Evidently he was where the
courteous gentleman in the restaurant
wanted him to be. A prisoner? Prob
ably. In danger? Long, careful at
tention to detail work in the Secret
Service had convinced Mr.. Grimm
that he was always in danger. That
was one reason-and the best-why
he had lain motionless, without so
much as lifting a finger, since that
first glimmer Of consciousness had en-
tered his brain. He was probably
under scrutiny, even in the darkness.

glanced around.
