AnticHmax.

Anticlimax.
The surprise was complete; but it's
a question which party thereto was
the more affected.
Lanyard stared with the eyes of stu
pefaction, his jaw slack. To his fancy,
this thing passed the compass o:
simple incredulity-it wasn't merely
improbable, it was preposterous; it
was anticlimax exaggerated to the pro
portion of the grotesque.
He had come prepared to surprise
and b%ullyrag the most astute police
detective of whom he had any knowl
edge; he found himself surprised and
discountenanced by this!
Confusion no less intense informed

fixed to his with a look of blank in.
quiry; her face, whose coloring had
won his admiration two hours since
was now colorless; her lips were just
aiar; the fingers of one hand touched
her cheek, indenting it.
The other hand caught up before
her the long skirts of a pretty robe
de chambre, beneath whose edge was
visible a hands breadth of simmer
ing white silk, with the toe of a silken
mule to match the dressing gown.
Thus she stood, poised for flight, at
tired only in a negligee over what, n
couldn't help %suspecting, was her
nightdress-her hair was down, she
was unquestionably all ready for her
bed.
But Bourke's long and patient train
ing had been wasted if this man
proved n to remain long at loss.
Rallying his wits quickly, he made a
brave show of accepting this amazing
accident as a commonplace.
81 beg your pardon, Miss Bannon-"
he began with a formal bow.
She interrupted with a gasp of won
dering recognition. "Mr, Lanyard"
He inclined his head a second time:
Sorry to disturb you-"
But l don't understand"
Unfortunately" he proceeded
smoothly, Il forgot something when |

His secret uncovered, all that labori-
ously constructed ediice of art and
chicane which yesterday had seemed
SO ~impregnable a wall between the
Lone Wolf and the world today torn
asunder, Lanyard wasted time neither
in profitless lamentation or any other
sort Of repining.
Delaying only long enough to revise
plans, he put out the lights and left by
the courtyard door; for it was just
possible that those whose sardonic
within it had been to name themselves
the Pack" might have stationed
agents in the street to follow their
dissocial brother in crime. And now,
more than ever, Lanyard was firmly
bent on going his way unmatched.
His course first led him stealthily
past the door of the porter and across
the court to the public hallway in the
main body of the building
Afoot, and in complete darkness, he
made his ascent of five flights of wind
ing stairs, pausing at length before
the door Of an apartment on the sixth
floor. A flash from a pocket-lamp 10.
Gated the keyhole; the key turned
without a sound; the door swung on
silent hinges.
Once inside, the adventurer moved
freely, with less precaution
against noise. He wal on known
ground, and alone; the apartment,
though furnished, was ~untenanted, and
would so remain as long as Lanyard
continued to pay the rent from Lon.
don under an assumed name.
1t was the convenience of this ref
uge and avenue Of retreat, indeed, that
had dictated his choice Of this par.
ticular floor, for the sixth-stcry fat
had M invaluable feature-a window
opening on the roof Of the adjoining
building.
Two minutes examination suficed
to convince Lanyard that here at least
the Pack had not tr~espassed.
Five minutes later he picked the
common lock of a door opening from
the roof of an apartment house on the
farthest corner of the block, found his
way downstairs, knocked on the door

fear. that OF nndins himself strapped
in time of stress
The fold yielded up its hoard to a
sou-Lanyard removed and counted
over five notes OF one thousand francs
and ten Of twenty pounds-their sum
approximating two thousand dollars,
But If nothing had been taken away,
something had been added-the back
OF one OF the Bank of England notes
had been used as a blank for a mem.
orandum.
Lanyard spread it out and studied It
attentively.
The handwriting had been traced
with no discernible attempt at dis.
guise, but was quite strange to him
The pen employed had been one Of
those needle-pointed nibs so popular
in France; the hand was that of an
educated Frenchman. The substance
of the memorandum translated as fol.
lows:
ITO the Lone Wolf-The Pack sends
greetings and extends its invitation to
participate in the benefits of its fra
ternity. One awaits him always at
lAbbaye Theleme."
A date was added, the date of that
same day.
Deliberately, when he had conned
this communication, Lanyard produced
his cigarette case, twisted the note Of
twenty pounds into a rude spill, set it
afre, lighted his cigarette therefrom
and, rising, conveyed the burning pa
per to a cold and empty fireplace,
where he permitted it to burn to a
crisp. black ash.
When this was done his smile broke
through his iclouding scowl.

author of that document which now
could never prove incriminating-"at

WILSON ENDS TRIP TO
ACT IN NEW CRISIS
Continued from Page One)

CONTINUED from Page One)
ranean has brought on just such a
crisis as did the German submarine
campaign in the declared war zone
around the British Isles Coming close
on the conciliatory assurances in Aus
trials Ancona note, the continued sub
marine activity, principally around the
entrance to the Suez canal, has
alarmed and amazed American offic-
ials, who have grave apprehensions
over the developments of the next few
days
Secretary Lansing announced he had
instructed Ambassador Penfield at vi
emma to ask the Austrian government
for any information which might es-
tablish the nationality of the subma-
rine which is said to have sunk the
Persia and which would develop the
facts in the case.
Secretary Lansing also said that
some action would be taken to formal
ly notify Turkey and Bulgaria of the
attitude of the United States toward
submarine warfare so that all the CEN
trail powers belligerents operating in
the Mediterranean might not be unin-
formed.
Mr.. Lansing was asked today what
! the attitude of the state department
would be if investigation developed
! that Austrian submarines in the Med
/ iterranean were commanded by Ger
man naval officers. The secretary said
| the department was inclined to let the
! nationality of the vessel itself deter
mine the responsibility. taking the
view that submarine flying the Aus
| trian flag would be considered as re-
! sponsible to the Austrian government
! by Whomsoever commanded.
! From the inquiries which Ambass
ador Penfield has been directed to
make, the American government hopes
! to sift what evidence there is for the
conclusion that the Persia was tor
! pedoed No submersible was seen, but
| one officer of the Persia said he saw
the wake of a torpedo. 1t is possible
! that later Ambassador Gerard at Ber-
| lin may be instructed to seek infOr-
nation.
Baron Zwiedinek, charge of the Aus
! trian embassy, called on Secretary
| Lansing this morning and asked that
! judgment be withheld until all the
facts were known and expressed his
| belief that final explanation would be
| satisfactory He also sought any avail
able information for the benefit of his
| government.
The baron also assured Secretary
Lansing that if it were proved that an
Austrian submarine sunk the Persia,
his government would give full repa-
ration.
