CHAPTER IV-contInued.

I appended my name to the docu-
ment and walked out of the office like
one in a dream. With economy, my
money would last easily for three
weeks. 1 should never need to worry
about my landlady's bill any more.
My happy thoughts were speedily to
be dispelled.
There is a gentleman waiting TO
see you, madamoiselle, said the land
lady of my pension as entered. He
has waited two hours in the reception
room. Mademoiselle is Canadian

without chaperon," she simpered.

Greek Zeuxis, who had followed me
home.
But it was not-it was Leopold Mag

to offer the least greeting.

father" he volunteered. "It's 10 use to
deny it; my agents have been on your
trail since you posed as the wife Of the
Chevalier d'Yves at the coronation"
Il have no intention Of denying any
thing-to you," said, contemptuously.
"But if you dare insult me with your
falsehoods again, you shall be thrown
from this hotel"

bit my lip angrily at the admission.

forward and motioned to his grandson
to withdraw.

And to prove it, allow me to restore
you this"
He reached into his coat pocket and
pulled out the purse which had lost
in so humiliating a manner inside
Westminster abbey. He handed It to
me, and, taking it gingerly, opened it.
There, within, lay my hand mirror, my
powder pun, and my FIVE hundred dol
lar bills. But the key-the key was
gone.
Il gather from your expression,
mademoiselle, that you realize that
you are in my power" he said.

that this purse was discovered at the

bitterly. "I thank you for your hon

Anne Ives, mascot by reputation, starts
from Winnipeg for London to attend the
coronation of King George. Her father
had come to America following quar-
rel with his father. Comte d'Yves OF
France. Anne's father, at his death, left
her a key to a strong box containing
bonds of the defunct French Panama
Canal company. The box is in the vaults
of Magnin & Co., Paris bankers, On the
steamer Anne meets the dessolute son OF
Magniff, who. not knowing her Identity,
tells her of a scheme to get hold OF the
canal bonds and extort money from Mag
min Anne volunteers to go as passen-
ger with a French contestant at an AVA

wins, but disappears without disclosing
his Identity She meets him again In the
crowd at Westminster abbey and accom-
panies him TO the coronation. She learns
that he is her cousin Chevalier d Yves,
and that his companion is her grand
father, Comte d'Yves. Sharing her faith
er's hate for the family, Anne abruptly
leaves the abbey. She losses her purse
and bororws money to go to Paris. On
the way she meets an official OF the avia-
tion meet who, thinking her the wife Of
the winner, forces on her the prize OF 9JO
pounds. She learns that Banker Magnln

swered the comte. "The facts are
simple. AS you should know, my
grandson here accompanied me to
England, recently, ostensibly as a
member OF the French military mis-
sion in the coronation; actually to ne
gotiate an important treaty between
England and France, in which three
foreign powers are vitality interested.
I'VE were warned that emissaries
Of these powers were prepared to go
to all lengths to obtain a draft Of the
treaty. To render it absolutely Sc
cure, my grandson kept only a few
rough jottings Of the French govern
ment's proposals upon piece Of pa
per in his coat pocket. He thought
that none would have suspected he
would carry it there. This paper was
stolen from his pocket at the doors
Of Westminster abbey"

There was a dead silence in the
room. Then, as the haze floated from
before my eyes, saw both men grip
ping their chairs, regarding me with
amazement, blended. I think. with
fear.

remorse for his unfatherly crime, per
