CHAPTER XVIII.
Sheer Impudence,

Though it was not yet eight o'clock
when they entered the restaurant, it
was something after eleven before
Lanyard called for his bill
We've plenty of time he had ex-
planned; it'll be midnight before we
can move. The gentle art of house
breaking has its technique, you know,
and its ethics-we can't well violate
the privacy of Nine. Ombers strong
box before the caretakers on the
premises are sound asleep. 1t isn't
done. you know-it isn't class to go
burglarizing when decent, law-abiding
folk are wide awake. Meantime we're
better off here than trapesing the
streets
It's a silent web of side ways and a
gloomy one by night that backs up
north of Les Halles-old Paris, grim.
taciturn, and somber, stepped in its
memories Of savage romance. But for
fnfrequent corner lamps, the street
that welcomed them from the doors of
the warm and coZy restaurant was as
dismal as an alley in some city of the
dead Its houses, with their mansard
roofs and boarded windows, bent their
heads together like mutes at a wake,
black-cloaked and hooded; seldom one
showed a light; never one betrayed by
any sound the life that lurked behind
it's jealous blinds.
Now again the rain had ceased and,
though the sky remained overcast, the
atmosphere was clear and brisk with a
touch Of frost, in grateful contrast to
the dull and muggy air that had OBJ
tanned for the last twenty-four hours.
We'll walk" Lanyard suggested
'if you don't mind-part Of the way at
least it'll eat up time, aud q bit Of ex-

What makes you think that?"

" nat makes you think that?
Because you value your thick hide
too highly to remain, my dear cap
tain"
Having gained the corner of the
Boulevard st. Denis, Lanyard pulled
up.
"One moment, by your leave. You
see yonder the entrance to the Metro
don't you? And here. a dozen feet
away, a perfectly able-bodied sergent
de vile? Let this fatefuI conjunction
impress you properly, for five minutes
after you have descended to the Metro
or as soon as the noise of a train ad-
vises me you've had one chance to get
away shall mention casually TO the
serge that have seen Captain Elk
'Hush!" the German protested in
hiss of fright.
Certainly. I've no desire to embar-
rass you-publicity must be terribly
distasteful to one Of your reserved and
sensitive nature, l know. But | trust
you understand me? There's the
| Metro On the other hand, there's the
police; while here, you must admit,
am |, as large as life-and very much
on the job And inasmuch as I shall
certainly mention my suspicious to
the minion of the law-as aforesaid
I'd advise you to be we'll out Of Paris
before dawn"
There was murder in the eyes of the
spy as he fingered, truculently lower
ing at the smiling countenance of the
adventurer; and for an instant Lam
yard was well persuaded he'd gone
too far, that even here, even at this
busy junction of two crowded thor
oughfares, Ekstrom would let his tenn
per get the better Of his Judgment ana
risk everything III an attempt on the
life of his despoiler.
But he was mistaken.
| With a surly shrug the spy swung
about and marched straight to the
kiosk Of the underground railway, into
which, without one backward glance,
he disappeared.
Two minutes later the earth quaked
beneath Lanyard's feet with the crash
and rumble of a north-bound train.
| He waited three minutes longer; but
! Ekstrom didn't reappear; and at
length, convinced that his warning had
proved effectual, Lanyard turned and
made off.

with its complaints. In spite of all
this, no less than three hideous sQueals
of protest were evoked before they
gained the top, each indicating pause
and a wait of several breathless sec
onds.
But it would seem that such serv-
ants as had been left in the house.

sept soundly or were accustomed to
discount the midnight concert of those
age-oId timbers; and without mis-.
chance, at length, through a swinging
door they entered the main reception
hall, revealed by the dancing spotlight
as a room of noble proportions and fur,
nished with somber magnificence.
Here the girl was left alone for a
few minutes, while Lanyard darted
abovestairs for rapid reconnaissance
of the state bedchambers and servants
quarters.

the swing of composition than the
girl-apparently following his pen
with closest attention giggled coquet-
tishly and nudged his elbow.

The girl assented quietly.
The drum of their heels on fast-dry-
Ing sidewalks struck sharp echoes
from the silence of that drOWsy quar-
ter, a lonely clamor that rendered it
impossible to ignore their apparent
solitude-as impossible as it was for
Lanyard to ignore the fact that they
were followed
The shadow logging them on the far
side of the street, some fifty yards be-
for this circumstance Lanyard would
have been slow to believe it was con-
cerned with him, so confident had he
felt, till that moment, of having given
the Pack the slip.
And from this he diagnosed still an
stupidity!
Supremacy on the alert, he had dis
covered the pursuit before they left
the block of the restaurant. DiSSem-
bling, partly to avoid alarming the
girl, partly to trick the follower into a
feeling of greater security, he turned
this way and that, round several cor
ners, until quite convinced that the
shadow was dedicated to himself eX-
clusively, then promptly revised his
prior purpose and, instead of sticking
TO darker backways, struck out direct
ly for the broad, well-lighted, and live
ly Boulevard Sebastopol.
Crossing this without another back
ward glance, he turned north, seeking
some cafe whose arrangements suited
his designs; and, presently, though not
before their tramp had brought them
almost to the line of the Grand boule-
wards, found one to his taste, a cheer
full and well-lighted establishment stu
ated upon a corner, with entrances
from both streets. A hedge of forlorn
fir trees knee-deep in wooden tubs
guarded it's collection of round, metal
| tables and spindle-shanked chairs, OF
which few were occupied. Inside, Wis
ible through the wide plate-gIass win
round half as many tables-no more
| idling over dominoes and gossip
steady-paced burghers with their
wives, men in small ways Of business
in the neighborhood.
Entering to this company, Lanyard
selected a square, handicapped table
against the back wall, entrenched him
self with the girl upon the plush-up
holstered seat behind it, ordered cot
fee and writing materials, and proceed
ed to light cigarette with the non
chaiance of one to whom time is Of III
consequence.
What is it?" the girl asked guard
eddy, as the waiter scurried off to exc
cute his commands. you've no
stopped in here for nothing"
'True-but lower, pleased" h
begged. IF we speak English lou

coffee, arranged the ink bottle and ps

his pen.

at interruption, but her answer was
prefaced by sad little shake Of her
head.

shoulders. He even mustered up a

obstacle exists that time can't over

But you don't understand"

that you are very fond of Chero Cola

such a great liking to YOU. I don't
suppose you would know me if you

THE THINGS THAT COUNT
q q . . q q . . . . = Q .
(By R. E. Lufsey)

It's not how you come and it's not how
you 60,
Nor where you are born or you die;
It's what you have done while you're
living, my son,
That will show that you count aces
high.
If you've lived all your life like lone,
prowling wolf,
With never a pard nor fried,
There's none who will weep when you
60 to the sleep
That will last through the years
without end.
If never man has put trust in your
} word,
And no woman has sworn you are
true,
If never child has felt good when you
smiled
Then Trd rather be dead than be
you.
If you've greedily looked-out for self
all your life
And be damned to the man in your
At the call of the roll you will find that
your soul
Has all shrunken and gone to decay.
But if you have lived with smile on
your face,
And handclasp of friendliest cheer,
And the children were gay when you
Joined in their play,
And their laughter was sweet to
your ear;
If your friends were called legion, and
they knew you were true,
For your heart in their pleasure was
glad,
Or your tears would o'erflow at the
sight of their woe
Then I envy the life you have had.
If when you are riding the gray horse
of death
You will turn as you pass DER the
hill
And you see spots Of light that you
helped to make bright,
You'll be happy know that you
will.
So it's not how you come and it's not
how you 60,
Nor where you are born or you die;
It's what you have done while you're
living, my son,
That will show that you count aces
high.
