NeA " eAS ICdiI1dSe. Inc car
dashed through Annecy. 1t seemed
incredible to Celia that less than six
hours ago she had been dining with
Nine. Dauvray and the woman OPP
posite, who was now her jailer Nine.
Dauvray lay dead in the little salon,
and she herself-she dared no think
what lay in front, of her. She was to
be persuaded-that was the 7Wy4ord-to
tell what she did not know.
Meanwhile her name would be exc
Grated through AK as the murderess
Of the woman who had saved her.
Then suddenly the car stopped. There
were lights outside. Celia heard
voices. A mar was speaking to
Wethermill. She started and saw
Adele Tace's arm flash upward She
sank back in terror; and the car roll
ed on into the darkness. Adele Tace
drew a breath of relief. The one
point of danger had been passed.
They had crossed the Pont de la
Caille, they were in Switzerland.
Some long while afterward the car
'slackened its speed. BY the side Of
It Celia heard the sound of wheels
and Of the hoofs Of. horse. a sin
g~le-horsed closed landau had been
caught up as Ut logged along the road.
The motor a stopped; close by the
side OF 1t the driver Of the landau
refined in his horse. Wetherrnill
jumped down from the chauffeur's
seat, opened the door of the landau,
and then put his head in at the win
dow of the car.
Not Word.
Are you ready? Berquick!"
Adele turned to Celia.
Not q WORD, remember!"s =
Wethermill flung open the door of
the car. AdeleS took the girls feet
and drew them down to the step of
the car. Then she pushed lei ont.
Wethermill caught her in his arms
and carried her to1the landau. Celia
daredsnot cry out. Her hands were
helpless, herSfacesa the, mercy Of that
grim flhask. Just affead OF them the
lights aofs Geneva were visible, and
from Ne lights a silver radiance
oversneead q patch of.stsky. Wether-
mill placed her in the landau; Adele
sprang inNbehind her. The transfer
had taken no more thansa few Sec
onds. THE landau logged into
Geneva; the motor turned and sped
back over the empty road.
Celia began to work her hands be-
hind her. She was an adept; no
movement was visible, but, on the
'other hand, no success was obtained.
The knots had been too ~cunningly
tied. And then Nine. Rossignol
touched e button at her side in the
leather Of the carriage.
The touch turned on q tiny lamp
in the roof OF the carriage. and she
raised warning hand to C3lia.
Nov keep very quiet
Right through the%empty streets of
Geneva the landau vas quietly driven.
Adele had peeped from time to time
under the blind. There were few
speoplein the streets. Once or twice q
sergeant-de-ville was seen under the
light of d lamp. Celia dared not cry
out. Over against her persistently
watching her, Adele Rossignol rat
with. the open flask cienched in her
hand. and from the 3vitrioI Celia
fshrank with an Overwhelming terror.
The carriage drove: out from the
owl along the western edge Of the
lake. ~
Now listen" said Adele. Az soon
as the landau stops tho door Of the
house opposite to which 1t stops will
open I shall open the carriage door
myself q you Will get out. You
must stand close by the carriage door
until ~ have got out. /. shall hold this
fiask ready In my hand. Asssoon al
III am ou you will run across the
pavement into the house. You won't
speak or cream. as
Seen Ia the Dark.
Ten minutes later the carriage
passed down the little street and at
