Olga laughed. ITO think of his writing a
note like that. Florence would have recog-
nized--and no doubt did-a palpable attempt
to play an old game twice

cried Braine impatiently. 1.-THE secret serv-

stuff, and Jones & Co. will mog off to the

Still the frown did not leave Olga's brow.
WAh all her soul she longed to be ont Of this
tangle. 1t had all looked 80 easy at the
start: yet here they were, weeks later, no
further forward than at the beginning, and
added to this they had paid much in lives and
money. Well, u she would be foof enough to
love this man she must abide with the con-
sequences She wanted him all by herself,
our Of danger, In far country. He might
tire. but she knew In her heart that she never
would. This was her one great passion, and
while her mode Of living was not as honest
as might be. her love was honest enough

the pleasant fancies of youth.
