a moment, puzzled. Then he replaced the
screen.
Queer place this" he sighed, mixing
a mild brandy and soda. MY heads still
buzzy. I'll sit down for . bit"
He threw himself into an easy chair.
Soon he heard the sound Of footsteps
crossing the hall. The door Of the ad-
joining room was opened. A slight grin
came into his face as he recognized Mr..
Smiths impressive voice. The words
themselves were inaudible, but the tone
and pitch were everything.
"Old Nunky's going it strong" he NUT
tered to himself.
The voices died away and then became
more distinct. Vera Custenein's. uncle
was taking his departure. Knox heard
some brief farewells. Then the great
danseuse and his uncle entered the room
on the other side of the folding doors
They seemed to have seated themselves
close to the screened recess. Presently
Knox started. A queer little purring
noise. Just family audible, reached him
from behind the screen. He whistled
softly. Half an hour passed. most of
which time Knox spent studying the
illustrated papers which he found on the
table. Then he heard the opening Of the
door In the next room, footsteps in the
hall. Almost Immediately afterward the
key was turned in the door of his room.

very wonderful wine. He was just
slipping his coffee when his hostess re-
appeared. She was dressed from head
to foot now in sables. She carried in
her hand a small brown paper parcel
about a foot long. tied up with string
and sealed. She had become paler
again. The servant. at a sign from
her, disappeared.

Again she looked at him. and as she
looked she seemed to be reassured. Be

She held out her hands. Suddenly she
paused to listen. The front-door bell
was ringing. She held up her finger.
They heard the buffers leisurely foot
steps across the hall, heard the door
open and the sound of voices. She gave
a little exclamation.
"waitr' she cried. She hurried out,
leaving the door open. Knox remained
with the brown paper parcel a few feet
away from him. In the hall he could
hear the voices Of the newcomers-there
seemed to be two of them-excited. ex-
planatory, amicable. All three were
talking together in French. Presently
Vera Custeneiff swept into the room.
Her ewes were sparkling.

She passed out and he heard the key
turn on the outside Of the lock. Her last
look was not for him. It was directed
toward a little curtained alcove at the
corner of the room. Knox stretched him

He walked round the room-a very
