was rising and falling tempestuousy with the ei-
fort and mad despair possessed her as she
caught the signs of readiness from the Empress
and saw there boat to take her out 10
the ship which carried the precious orders.
She beat her tiny fists fercely together. There
must be way. There must be. Family to her
ears came humming sound from the boat IL
reminded her of another sound she had heard
recently. sound she identified with the solution
OF her problem-Harley and his aeroplane.
1t was five miles, but her horse could do the
distance in short time. Faster even than she had
reached the dock did she get to the stables. In
amazement the groom looked at her he fol-
lowed her orders. She leaped into the saddle and
through the moonlight she dashed, the little mare
accepting this new freak of his mistress with de-
light
The aviator had only just returned from the
dance when she flung herself from the mare and
grasped him fercely by the shoulders. shaking
him in the vehemence of her command. He stared
at her unbelievingly as he made out what she
desired. but there was something in the entreat-

appealing intensity she pointed wildly out across
the bright blue water to where the ma ieStic liner
was steaming RAPIDLY towards the horizon. Lu-
cille hung breathlessly the aviator's every ac-
ton. His lips opened for protest. but there was
something in the entreating eyes he could not
resist. Breathlessly she watched him. awaiting
his decision. There a curiously twisted smile
upon his lips when he faced her again.

HUGO LoUBEQUE turned the packet of papers
and orders over and in his hand,
orooding expression in his eyes that told his
thoughts very far away from the butler
craftsman who had just broug ght them to him. A
massive figure of man, he seemed to fill the
room with his presence. the chair in which he
sat seemed to have been built about him, the
room itself with its magnificent furnishings
dwarfed by its occupant. Greatest of interna-
tonal spys, the rise and fall of many nations
might have been placed at his door. rivers Of

those powerful fingers. As the musician plays

by Cadet Sumpter Love. his successful rival for
the love of a beautiful girl. The conclusive and
uncontrovertible proofs of his guilt had resulted
in his dismissal from the service and disenfran-
chisement as a citizen of his native country.
Bitter and still more malignant grew this
feeling of hatred against this fellow cadet of his
