was in the habit of riding in the
tramcar from the Brandenburg gate
to Charlottenburg between 6 and 8
o'clock of an evening might often have
noticed an elderly gentleman of strik-
ing appearance among its passengers.
He was Of mediumo height, of slight
figure, his face clean shaver and full
of wrinkles, set off by a head full of
long silvery hair A pair of dark illu-
minating expressive eyes peered
through his spectacles. On entering
the tram he always looked out for a
seat near the lamp at the back of the
car and invariably succeeded in obtain
ing it. Thereupon the old gentleman
would draw newspaper from his
pocket, and sooncbe engrossed in its
contents, Notwithstanding the dimness
of the light. When the tramcar stop
ped at Charlottenburg he had gener-
ally finished reading. Hb would get
out and hurry to the Marchstrasse, in
which his unpretentious house stood.
This was Theodor Mommsen, the re-
nowned historian of Ancient Rome. -

Can you do it without violence:
asked BasSett in troubled tones.
They will not suffer an instant e

as he vanished from the room.
Bassett and Hall sat the night
through in silent company. Once III
awhile one or the other q them broke
the silence to comment on the stiffness
of the place and to wonder how Jean
Lanier could carry out his difficult COM
mission. They had the utmost conf
dence in him. He was always success
full in his undertakings.

With one accord they sprang to the
windows and looked toward the mills.
