THAT business about Mrs. Yande-

told me about it. On the face OF 1t, 1t
seemed that he or Sir James must have
done the trick. But l didn't know
wkich. Finding that photograph in
the drawer, after that story Of how 1t
had been got from him BY Inspector

I remembered that it was Sir James

proofs Of conspiracy In their hands,

But the cabinet knew by how mar
row a margin they had escaped utter
disaster. And burnt In on Mr.. Car
ter's brain was the strange scene
which had taken place In the house in
Soho the night before.
He had entered the squalid room to
find that great man, the friend of a
lifetime, dead-betrayed out Of his
own mouth. From the dead mans
pocket-boOk he had retrieved the III
omened draft treaty. and then and
there, in the presence of the other
three, 1t had been reduced to ashes.
England was saved!
And now, on the evening OF the 30th,
In a private room at the Savoy, Mr..
julius P. Hersheimmer was receiving
his guests.
Soon the supper party was In full
swing, and with one accord Tommy
was called upon for a full and COM
