synopsis Of Preceding Chapters.

Theodore Racksole, American multi
millionaire, travelling abroad with his
daughter, Nelia, stops at the Grand
Babylon IN London. Because he cannot
ret just what he wants for dinner one
night he buys the hotel from the proprie-
tor, Felix Babylon. who wishes to retire
to his native Switzerland. Mr.. Babylon
assures him that he has an elephant on
his hands, adding that he was never Ger.
tain what sort of people he had about
him. The hotel is greatly affected by
royalties from the Continent. In fact,
Racksole meets the forerunner Of one OF
them on this very night when he buys
the house. II Is Reginald Dimmock. a
young man whom Nella had run across
the year before in Russia, and who turns
out to be In the service Of Prince Arlpert'
uncle and next in line of succession 10
Grand Duke Eugen of Posen, one OF the
numerous small colonies Of Germany.
Mr.. Racksole dismisses Jules, the head
waiter, Of whom he has suspicious. Mean
time, Miss Spencer. the head bureau clerk
leaves abruptly, and Nella, from whiin.
takes her place. To cap all. ReglnaIo
Dimmock is found dead; and before tne
case can be investigated the oooy mys-
ter1ously disappears.
Nella's interest in the Prince Aribert
grows daily. and he, reciprocating: con-
fdes in her, before leaving, that Prince
Eugen who should have Joined him four
days ago at the Babylon, has disappeared
and no trace can be found. Nella next
becomes interested in baroness, who

and the impulsive girl follows her to o.
tend, where she confronts her. BY pro-
ducing tiny revolver Nella forces Miss
Spencer to confess that Jules-or Tom
Jackson-is her husband, and that he has
very strong reasons for keeping Prince
Eugen out of London. Then by strategy
Miss Spencer gets possession Of the pis-
toll which she filings out of a window,
and NelIa promptly faints away. She
regains consciousness on the deck of a
small yacht which is steaming rapidly
away from Ostend. but before she can
move about she is Joined by Jules. or Tom
jackson, who grows 50 familiar as to
demand a kiss. Poor Nella is terribly
frightened at her serious pfedicament. but
just as Jules puts a hand on her shoul-

who appears on deck with Nella's little
revolver in his hand.

CHAPTER XI. .
The Court Pawnbroker.

"M t. to s Sc you: SIR ~ '''"''
These words, spoken by q
servant to Theodore Rack
sole, aroused the millionaire from q
reverie which had been the reverse OF
pleasant.
The fact was, and 1t il necessary to
Of the Grand Babylon, was by no means
in state of self-satisfaction. A mys-
terry had attached itself to his hotel, and
with all his acumen and knowledge Of
things in general he was unable to solve
that mystery.
He laughed at the fruitless efforts OF
the police, but he could not honestly
say that his own efforts had been less
barren.
The public was talking, for, after all,
body had got noised abroad in an in
direct sort Of way, and Theodore Rack
sole did not like the idea OF his impecca-
bic hotel being the subject Of sinister
rumors.
He wondered grimly what the public
and the Sunday newspapers would say
II they were aware Of all the other
phenomena, not yet common property
Of Miss Spencer's disappearance. OF
Jules strange visits and of the non
arrival OF Prince Eugen Of Posen.
Theodore Racksole had worried his
brains without result. He had conduct
ed an elaborate private investigation
without result, and he had spent GER
tain sum of money without result.
The police said that they had clue;
but Racksole remarked that II was al
ways the business of the police to have
a clue; that they seldom had more than
a clue and that a clue without some
sequel to II was pretty stupid busi-
ness.
that cloud rested 0yer his
hotel. his beautiful new toy, the finest
The cloud was not interfering with
business, but, nevertheless. 1t was
cloud, and he fercely resented its pres
ence; perhaps II would be more correct
to say that he fercely resented his in
ability to dissipate it.

received no sign that his master had
heard him.

The great stock broker Of the "Kafnr
Circus" entered with a simple, unas-
Stunning air.
He was a rather short, fiorid man,
dressed like typical Hebraic financier,
with too much watch chain and too lit
tie waistcoat.
In his fat hand he held gold-headed
cane and an absolutely new silk hat
for II was Friday, and Mr.. Levi pur-
chased a new hat every Friday OF his
life holiday times only excepted. He
breathed heavily and shifted through
his nose a good deal, as though he had
lust performed some herculean phyS-
cal labor.
He glanced at the American million
afre with an expression In which
slight embarrassment might have been
detected, but at the same time MS
round. red face disclosed a certain
frank admiration and good nature.
Mr.. Racksole, I believe-Mr. Theo-
dore Rack sole. Proud to meet you. sir.

I Such were the FIRST words of Mr..
Sampson Levi. In form they were the
greeting Of q third-rate chimney sweep,
but, strangely enough, Theodore Rack
