 She ioosed the pigeon, pointing him toward window which was open. She knew Loubeque was growing impatient from that sign. FurtNeiy she watched the eager hands clutch the bird and draw him from view. The window slapped shut once 
 LOubeQue was tnere Just a lew sulteS away from her was even now gloating with satisfac- ton over the fruition of his life's work. The thought made her beat her fists together against the enforced waiting. She had never felt so ut- terlv impotent before. There seemed nothing possible to do but sit and wait-walt-
 But wait she could not and would not do So few hours remain wherein to regain the pre- cious packet of papers that she must be at work The papers were but a few snort suites away on the very floor
 His residence she knew must mean the mousse of mystery the weird place of horrors, of sliding starcases and folding rooms. That Louoeque should choose such rendezvous showed how plainly he considered the last trick in the game of his life played, how absolutely assured he now was of absolute and final success At five thirty, Ensign Howell would be at that house. She had three hours wherein to work. But the hours be- tween-vhat of them? She could not endure in- action at this moment.
 With the thought she rose and moved toward the door, closing it softly behind her. For a mo- ment she hesitated in the hall then stepped boldly to the suite of the spy, rapping upon the door.
 CHAPTER XXXXIX
 The Butler-Thief Makes His East Bid.
 HUGO LOUBEQUE, master of men and nations, II whose power was great the course of Elm pires halted at his spoken word of command Inoodv stared out his window after the carrier pigeon he had just released. For forty years he had bent every energy of his life for this day every hour of those forty years had contained a dream of his revenge dear to his heart it had caused him to redouble his energies And now that it had come, somehow the sweet had turned bitter upon his palate.
 He stirred bit uneasily in his chair. He had almost been lulled to sleep by the spell ot the past that had woven itself for him. His mis sion was not yet complete.
 Strangely enough, tender smile played about the of his hard mouth he thought of the girl upon the same floor with him the girl who the image of the Lucille of forty years ago, the Lucille who, at the climax of his scheming at his supreme moment when he had possession of the papers stolen from General Loves safe had flown out to the speeding Pacific liner and thenceforth through jungle shipwreck, fire war starvation had continually thwarted him bounded him when he held the upper hand and defeated him time and again. Mo- not till the actual transfer of the stolen papers and his afi davit into the hands of the Ensign would he act uay know that Lucille had finally been beaten.
 Lucle-- He murmured the ove1 tendery, even as his fingers plucked the precious picture of the girls mother from his breast pocket He had treasured that picture above al other possessions these forty years, yet now ht found himself regarding it merely as the likeness of the daughter. Lucille the daughter of that Gtber Lucille of the long ago
 He rose impatienty, ashamed of the mellow mood that upon him and moved across tho floor. The slightest swayng of the curtains tha connected with the bedroom caught his eye.
