OF Congressman Richard N. Elliott.

The congressman said that the last

criticisms on the part Of the public
much good was accomplished.

obligations. and the pleasure of help.

You did not suspect him but he was
afraid OF you, and was prepared to
alter his plans to deceive you. He was
not going TO London YOU may oe sure
of that. 1t was a good excuse for say :
ing farewell last night, quite natural
one, as several people from the hotel
were leaving for England this morning.
What business was he engaged upon
that the French police were interested
in him just now?" West asked.
Gould | give YOU a definite answer
to that question our task would have
been easier. We should have known
what channels to watch. We have inn
agned his activities to be concerned
either with French interests in Mo-
rocco. or with the changes which are
contemplated in our army administra-
ton. but since our efforts in these di-
rections have proved fruitless probably
heither of these was his present game
We do not easily fail, as YOU know"
THAT is true" said West. ''As a

Valentine West had the very useful
faculty of being able to put his wor-
rfes and speculations aside, was able
to pigeonhole them in his brain, as II
were, until some new fact or develop
ment made the particular problem
active again. On this occasion his
faculty altogether failed him. NJ
Houtin had proved such an agreeable
companion 1t was rather n shock to
find he was the notorious Jean Bois-
set. OF course, 1t was not really re-
markable that Jean Boisset should be
a man of this kind; to achieve whai

not writing. He did not talk politics,
he bad said, nor think them if he

And more about you than your

LerouN, and some one has saved US q
