CHAPTER XIII.
Der Tao.


Meanwhile Ethel Willoughby, alias
Madame de Lorde, strolled aimlessly
to the cigar counter and leaned neg
ligently against 1t. Her feelings were
decidedly mixed-compounded of pleas
ure and uneasiness. AS it turned out,
she found 1t agreeable to meet Mr..
Brown. It was distinct relief to be
able to talk to someone against whom
she was under no necessity of being
on her guard. But at the same time, a
matter of business had brought her to
Courvoisier, and the inn. TO be sure,
Streetman expected to join her there
later. But in the meantime Ethel ex-
pected to meet someone else first. Who
that person might be she did not know,
except that the unknown was spy
in the service Of the French.
No sooner did he find himself alone
with Ethel than the little Frenchman
dropped his paper.
"Bonjour, zoadamew he said.
81 beg your pardon!" Ethel said.
"Do not look around-stay where
you are!' the stranger told her crisply.
All at once it occurred to her that
this somewhat inferior-looking indi-
vidual might be he whom she sought.
But she could NOE be sure. And she
resolved to bide her time.
Really, sir" she said, with assumed
hauteur, IT beg you to explain this
mystery-this-"
"Mystery-" he took the word out
of her mouth-"shall we say rather
the mystery of General Jacques" he
corrected her politely.

To hide her confusion Ethel rose and

he went joyfully to his room.
