Companions.


The enigma of the girl so deeply In
trigued his imagination that it was
only with difficulty that he concocted
acquaintance in the prefecture de po-
lice-that imposing parsonage who had
watched with the man from Scotland
Yard at the platform gates in the Care
du Nord.
1t was couched in English when
eventually composed and submitted to
the telegraph clerk with a fervent, If
inaudible, prayer that he might be
ignorant of the tongue.

pared for immediate action on impor-

"RoDDY."
Whether or not this were Greek to
the man behind the wicket in the tele-
graph bureau, it was accepted with
complete indifference-or, rather. with
an interest that apparently evaporated
upon receipt of the fees. Lanyard
couldn't see that the clerk favored him

under the incognito of the Lone Wolf.
He couldn't have rested without TAX
ing that one step to compass the arrest
of the American assassin; now, with
luck and prompt action on the part of
the prefecture, he felt sure that Roddy
would be avenged by NJ. de Paris. But
it was quite as well that there should
be no clue whereby the author of the
mysterious telegram might be traced

But he granted the girl little more
than time for a fugitive survey OF this
anteroom to an establishment OF
unique artistic character.
"Solon's living quarters are down

i hospitable arms of a huge lounge chair.
Her weary glance ranged the luxuri-

dreamless that nothing could have in

A profound and sitting lethargy be-

fore he heard his valediction family
echoed.
As he gained the lower floor the door
was closed at the top of the stairs and
it's bolt shot home with a soft thud
When he turned to lock the lower one
he stayed his hand in transient indie
cision.
Damn i'll" he growled uneasily-
there can't be any harm in that girl!
Impossible for eyes like hers to liei
And yet And yet Oh, what's the
matter with me? Am losing my grip :?
Why hesitate over ordinary precau-
lions against treachery on the part of
a woman who's nothing to me and of
whom 1 know nothing that isn't con-
spicuously questionable? All because
of pretty face and an appealing man

So he locked that door. If very gent

made round. of doors and windows to
examine their fastenings. he stumbled
heavily into the bedroom of his friend

Darkness overwhelmed him then
he was stricken down by sleep as an
