at the portfolio. A ribbon end had en-

enough for Kitty to see what had been
the hand that had committed this rob-
berry.
But who was the robber himself?

door, ran down the deck, out the next

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
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 it in
the little antique shop! Why should
he be on board this boat? Why should
he recognize her, remember her-for
he had! Trust a woman to know that
he had-he did. Yes, he had known
her. Again cold feeling of appre-
hension clutched at Kitty Gray's stout
little heart.
She rose and tried to fling off 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,
passing in her instant from sleep to
waking.
A face was looking in upon her! 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 it's
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 a. hand. Some
thing had tugged at her neck.
She raised her hand. The cham

of the broken silk cord that had

Sure" said Kitty, and turned to
leave, her coin clutched tightly in her
hand. So intent was she on her pur-
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 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
thanked him and hurried on her way.
This stranger entered the shop and
spoke in some foreign tongue to the
old dealer, who shook his head.

The Bio Assignment.


Kitty Gray did not go to her usual
place for luncheon that day. Instead
she hurried into nearby delicatessen
shop and bought sandwich, which
she put in her handbag. After this
she hurried on back to the office. Ar

saw the slender form of the city edi-

held only kerchief, a bit of powder
puff, perhaps a little silver-nothing
more. Her real treasures-she knew
where they were now.
The captain was outraged at what
he learned when at length she gained
admittance to his cabin. With marine
precision, he acted at once. From
that time on all through the voyage, a
boat detective stood at each end of the
passageway which led to Kitty's state
room.
No trace of any other robbery could
be found, nor any clue by which the
intruder could be identified.

There would, Miss Kitty, to quote a
certain American ballad, be a hot

'It's story!" said Kitty Gray, draw
ing long breath. But troubled light
came to her eyes at the same time.

asked whimsically.

few gold pieces which she had cher

Amazed, Kitty stopped and picked
them up, one by one. Nothing was
missing-even the gold coins were
there. Nothing had been harmed. But
