confess l didn't till tonight; but I've
learned some things that have opened
my eyes. You see, we had a table in
quiet corner at the Cafe de la Paix,
and since the old mans sailing for
home before long, it was naturally
time for him to unbosom himself rath-
er thoroughly to the one he leaves to
act for him in London and Paris. l
never suspected our power before he
began to talk"
Lanyard, watching the man closely,
would have sworn he had never seen
one more sober. He was indescribably
perplexed by this ostensible candor-
mystified and mistrustful.
And then there's this to be consid.
cred, from your side" Wertheimer re-
sumed with the most businesslike man.
ner. You can work with US without
being obliged to deal in any way with
the old man or De Morbihan or Popi-
not; you need never speak to either of
them. Bannon will never cross the
Atlantic again, and you can do pretty
much as you like. within reason-sub-
ject to my approval, that is"
"One of us is mad" Lanyard COM
| mented profoundly.
"One of us is blind to his best inter-
ests," Wertheimer amended with en-
tire good humor.
Perhaps. Let it go at that. I'm
not interested-never did care for
fairy tales"
Don't go yet There is still much
to be said on both sides OF our argu-
ment."
"ias there been one?"
Besides, promised you news from
Antwerp"
"To be sure" Lanyard said, and
paused, his curiosity at length en-
gagged.
Wertheimer delved into the breast
pocket of his dress coat and produced
blue telegraph-form, handing it to
the adventurer.
OF even date, from Antwerp, it read:

blankly.
"Our telegraphic address. OF course.

so they got Greggs!"
Stupid oaf," Wertheimer observed;
I've no sympathy to waste on him.
The whole affair was a blunder."
But you got Greggs out and
burned Troyons-"
Still our friends at the prefecture
weren't satisfied Something must
have reused their suspicious"
"You don't know WHAT"
There must have been a leak some
where"
IF so, II would certainly have led
the police to me, after all the pains
you were at TO saddle me with the
crime, There's something odder than
mere treachery in this, Mr.. Vert
heimer."
Perhaps you're right" said the 9th
er thoughtfully.
And II doesn't speak well for the
discipline Of your precious organiza-
tion-granting. for the sake OF argu.
ment, the possibility Of such non

well, we'll, have your own way
about that. | don't insist, SO long as
you're agreeable TO join forces with

Lanyard kept himself In hand with

lead him to believe that the chate-
laine had as yet returned to Paris.
Now the night was still young. but
Lanyard had his cab to dispose Of and
not few other essential details to
arrange before he could take definite
steps toward the reincarnation OF the
Lone Welt.
Picking a most circumspect route
across the river-via the Pont Mira
beau-to the all-night telegrsphic bu-
reau In the Rue de Grenelle. he dis
patched a cryptic message to the min.
lister OF war. then with the same pains
to avoid notice made back toward the
Rue des Acacias. But It wasn't pos
sible to recross the Seine covertly--
in effect, at least-without returning
the way he had come-a long detour
that irked his impatient spirit to con-
template.
