Sharman was long way from the

a birdie 4, and Gates. who was prac-
tically as far away from the cup in 2,
holed a mashie shot in his turn for
an eagle 3. The scores:

"Oh!' Despite the tight rein she

Half fearful half incredulous, Henri
Christophe stood stock still and gazed
stupidity at the American.
"That cannot believes" he said at
last. But In moment more he had
to believe It. Even little Jeanne
knew it. She came flying into the
room and flung herself into her IA

dreamed of.
Henri Christophe put his daughter

crept over him.

there till l call you," he said gently.
A confused murmur, as Of many
voices shouting in the distance, pene-
trated that still room where they wait

passed it grew louder.
From his post in the window Char.

sweeping up the road. They were still

CHAPTER XIII.
Der Tag.

LOT tdNs
Meanwhile Ethel Willoughby, alias
Madame de Lorde, strolled aimlessly
to the cigar counter and leaned neg
ligently against It. Her feelings were
decidedly mixed-compounded Of pleas
ure and uneasiness. AS It turned out,
she found 1t agreeable to meet Mr..
Brown. 1t was n 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
Courv oisier, 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 a spy
in the service OF the French.
No sooner did he find himself alone
with Ethel than the little Frenchman
dropped his paper.
"Bonjour, madamel" he said.
II 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 not be sure. And she
resolved to bIde her time.
Really, sir" she said, with assumed
hauteur, Il beg you to explain this
mystery-this--"
Mystery" he took the word out
Of her mouth-''shalI we say rather

"Wait minute!"

The man came inside then.
"Sure! Sure! They're not milr

neighbors crowded through the door

low. "They came though our town.

"But we have done nothing. They

upon Christophe - upon Christophe
who had not yet learned what was B'
store for him.

To hide her confusion Ethel rose and
moved few steps away from the
table.
Yes, remember him very WELL"
she answered.
Il happened that night to get some
dope OH him." Charlie went on, In en-
tire innocence of the effect his words
had upon her. Hes what you might
call professional spy-working for
the German secret service now. That's
why he stuck up for them that after
noon; but really he's Russian"
"A Russian Ethel exclaimed, star
tied, in spite Of herself, by that sur
prising news.
YES" he continued. "He got kicked
out of Russia ten years ago for some
dirty business. Then he worked for
the English against the Beers. They

thought perhaps as you're in the ad-
miral's family, he might be trying to
pump you about some of the navy's
secrets"
''Oh-thank you for telling me-" she
exclaimed gratefully. And, somehow,
she felt the least bit guilty that she
could not be frank with him. "And

seemed about to leave her, you won't
