chase that she did not notice she had
dropped the package containing the
shell-ribbed fan. Vaguely missing
something as she emerged into the
open air, she turned back, and almost
ran into a man who had passed her
as she came out He was a foreign
looking individual, dark of hair and
eyes and skin, strongly built, figure
such as one would note. He bowed
now courteously enough as he handed
her the package she had let fall. Kitty

CHAPTER II.
The Big Assignment.

Kitty Gray did not go to her usual
place for luncheon that day. Instead
she hurried into a nearby delicatessen
shop and bought sandwich, which
she put in her handbag. After this
she hurried on back to the office. Ar
rived there, without ceremony she
went again to the desk of the city edi-
tor, and silently laid down before him
her empty purse. her antique fan, her
sandwich and her broken coin.
Cutler looked up with professional
calm.
Eyes, Miss Gray? Why all this or
derby array OF fresh and interesting
objects?"
THAT is my story" said she.
What makes you think so? Are
you seeing things, Miss Gray?"
Look here"
Kitty picked up the coin and showed
it to him.
See, it is broken quite across-more
than a third of it gone. The inscrip-
ton is Latin. 1t is not so much what
is on the coin-it is what is off of it.
Perhaps it commentaries something"
Commemorate what, Miss Gray?"

ment, wouldn't there? I'd rather do
that than society in the summer
time"
Billy Cutler. time-tried news man,
grown thin and grim and gray in the
business, sat for just one moment in
thought. Wait minute, please
said he at length, and rose to leave
the room.
Kitty did wait anxiously enough, for
what reason she could not tell. She
sat at her own desk, the mysterious
broken coin tight clutched in her
hand. 1t seemed an hour before she
saw the slender form of the city edi-
tor returning from the door which led
to the Office of the manager and pub
Usher of the Evening Star. He looked
at her thoughtfully as he approached.
He held out check

Tugging at her heart the swift feel
ing that she was leaving her usual
modest and safe line of life to ad-
venture upon something perhaps fate
ful-perhaps indeed fatal-Kitty Gray,
sober-faced, turned from the door of
the Evening Star and walked slowly
toward the corner where customarily
she took her car for home.
She entered her apartment, cast one

CHAPTER II.
En- Voyage.

En- Voyage.
The great liner Anne of Austria lay
in her slip at the dock. her giant
pulses just throbbing now and then.
Everywhere men and women were
hurrying to and fro in the customary
orderly confusion of the last few mo-
ments before the departure of an
ocean steamer.
Calmly Kitty Gray passed on her
way to the boats Office and asked for
her mail and her keys.
AS she turned, she almost stumbled
against a man who had just hurried
aboard-a dark man, thickset, foreign
in appearance. She had the strange
conviction that she had seen him be-
fore.
Then she turned to settle herself
down in her quarters. So far as she
knew, she had not an acquaintance
on the boat
Now, oddly enough, she recalled the
face of the stranger, the dark-visaged
foreigner whom she had met at the
ships office. Surely it must have been
the same man who had handed her
her package when she dropped 1t in
the little antique shop, Why should
he be on board this boat? Why should
he recognize her, remember her-for
he had! Trust woman to know that
he had-he did Yes, he had known
her Again cold feeling of appre-
III, -
little heart.
She rose and tried to fling of her
depression by means of visit to the
dining saloon. But for some reason
she felt she would be more comfort
able-or safe-in her own room.
Here she lay down upon the single
berth, which was directly beneath the
portfolio
She woke-she knew not when nor
why-woke with her eyes staring,
waking.
A face was looking in upon herr A
man had been looking at her, or try
ing to look at her, as she lay asleep
Kitty Gray's instinct spoke to her
some message-She could not tell
what Swiftly she caught the chamois
bag from her bosom, and, emptying its
main treasures into her hand, placed
them in that other treasure house of
woman-her stocking. Again feeling
the drowsiness invoked by the fresh
salt air, at length she lay down once
more upon the little couch and re-
signed herself more comfortably to
slumber.
But again she woke-this time it
was with a scream of terror. She
had felt the touch of hand. Some
thing had tugged at her neck.
She raised her hand. The cham
OILS bag was gone-it was the jerk
of the broken silk cord that had

awakened her! And there was the
hand that had done it, strong, dark
hand, full-veined, hairy. 1t still
clutched the bag-it still was visible
at the portfolio. A ribbon end had en-
tangled itself for just an instant in the
portfolio fastening-an instant long
enough for Kitty to see what had been
the hand that had committed this rob-
berry.
But who was the robber himself?
Quick as thought Kitty sprang to the
door, ran down the deck, out the next
deck door. The band was giving its
first saloon concert, and the decks
were sparsely tenanted, it seemed. Far
off towards the bow a man was pass
ing-what man she could not say He
seemed neither to hurry nor to linger.
She could not make out who it was,
dared not hang upon him her own sus-
picion.
She turned to the captain now and
made report of what had happened
not once but twice; but even as she
went she smiled grimly to herself. The

packets of the usual tramping class, is

dozen vessels have sailed from Austria

One notable clipper to sail outward
from London with cement to the River
