station, framing a telegram In cipher, which, when completed, was sent to Tampa Then they disappeared.
 Holton in the meantime slept, and was still asleep when the train moved out. Awakened by a sudden turn of the cars. he started bolt upright and looked about him with only a vague idea as to where he was. When he came to a realizing sense of his situ- ation he looked at his watch, and then tried to resume his nap. But this time he did not fall asleep, and so. after idgeting about for half an hour, he decided to go into the smoker.
 He had some very excellent cigars in his grip, and, pulling out the bag, he leaned down to unlock it. when he saw the long hole which had been cut in the shining pigskin.
 lie regarded the damage for a sec ond with rising anger. and then Un- locked the vabse and searched it thor oughly to see what had been stolen. For his only idea was that some sneak thieves had taken advantage of his sIumber.
 But, finding everything intact, he was obliged to cast about for another explanation. It was then that the thought of spies occurred to him. Thus thinking, he rose from his seat and looked searchingly over the oc- cupants Of his car.
 Almost the first person his eyes lighted upon was a girl in the section diagonaIly opposite him. One glance at her profile was sufficient to send Holton stumbling and gasping back into his seat.
 The girl was Miss La Tossa-
 He thought for moment. Oh, to be sure, he had risen to find out who had maltreated his bag. Then
 Good Heavens! Holton's hands flew to his head after the most approved manner of tragedy, and for a moment he tried to dismiss the surging thoughts from his mind. But no, the facts were large and luminous and not to be denied. and these facts were as follows: lie had gone asleep in the car, his bag had been cut open and Tifed. Now, then, Miss La Tossa had been designated by men who should know whereof they spoke as a spy. Miss La Tossa was the only other person in the car-he paused. He just would not think it, that was all. So, picking up magazine, he set tled back in his seat and tried to lose himself in a serial story. For a while he kept his mind fairly well upon the tale, but eventually he found his thoughts straying to the girl in front of him. Eventually he flung the mag azlpe aside and shifted about uneasily. After all, vas he playing the game as he should? Silent contempt was all right if it were only noticed. But silent contempt when the person against whom it is directed does not feel it, is hardly satisfactory course to pursue.
 With this thought, Holton arose from his seat and, with a seIEconscious smile. hustled up to Miss La Tossa as though he had just discovered her presence.
 Why, Of all thingsl" he exclaimed. ''How do you do. Miss La Tossa!"
 Her book fell to the floor and she looked up. 'Mr. Holtonl" she cried The very same," laughed Holton, "and may I ask what strange circum- stances have brought us together again?"
 T was just going 10 ask you that" Holton looked at her curiously. hard ly knowing what reply to make, after such a check
 Where are you going?" he inquired at length.
 '"To Tampa and thence to my home" she responded.
 "oh," Holton shifted doubtfulIy. "Pm going to Tampa, too"
 Really"
 'T trust if I can be of any service you will avail yourself of my pres ence, Miss La Tossa," he added some what formally.
 Thank you. Won't you sit down? That's one service you can perform talk to me; I'm dreadfully bored"
 Holton seated himself obediently.
 "BeastIy raw and windy, wasn't it, today?"
 Yes"
 Then she laughed at him unafect' ediy.
 What are you laughing at?"
 "At your briIIiancy. Oh, you are rnasterly! And yet" she added. they told me you were so clever"
 'T cannA help what people say" he began, and then. impatient at his ob- vious disadvantage, he changed the subject "I had the most curious thing happen to me on this train" he went on.
 Now" she laughed, you promise to be really entertaining. What was lt? Do tell mel"
 T boarded the car" said Holton, and fell asleep" She giggled. and he raised his hand impatiently. ' fell sleep. and while I slept some ras- cal cut a hole in my bag and rum uaged through the contents" L"
 He glanced at her sharply. But
