Their course was zigzag one de-

possible to Oxford street. When at
length they turned into 1t, proceeding
In an easterly direction, Tommy
slightly increased his pace. Little by
little he gained upon them.

was late, and the place was thinning
out. Tommy took a seat at the table
next to them, sitting directly behind
Wilmington in case Of recognition. On
the other hand, he had a full view of
the second man and studied him at
tentively. He was fair, with a weak,
unpleasant face, and Tommy put him
down as being either 4 Russian or a
Pole. He was probably about fifty
years Of age. his shoulders cringed a
little as he talked, and his eyes, small
and crafty. shifted increasingly.
Wilmington ordered q substantial
lunch for himself and his companion

moved his chair a little closer to the
table and began to talk earnestly In
q low voice. The other man Joined in,

variegated links Of an unknown chaini
Two knocks followed In quick suc-
cession on the door below. The first
man was quite unknown to Tommy,
who put him down as a city clerk. A
quiet, intelligent-looking man. rather
shabbily dressed. The second was of
the working classes, and his face was
vaguely familiar to the young man.
Three minutes later came another,
q man OF commanding appearance, ex-
quisitely dressed, and evidently well
born. His face, again, was not un-
known to the watcher. though he
could not for the moment put a name
to II.
After his arrival there was a long
wait. In fact, Tommy concluded that
the gathering was now complete, and
was just cautiously creeping out from
his hiding place, when another knock
sent him scuttling back to cover.
This last-comer came up the stairs
so quietly that he was almost abreast
of Tommy before the young man had
realized his presence.
He was a small man, very pale, with
a gentle, almost womanish air. The
angle Of the cheek-bones hinted at his
Slavonic ancestry, otherwise there
was nothing to indicate his national
ity. AS he passed the recess, he
turned his head slowly. The strange
light eyes seemed to burn through the
curtain; Tommy could hardly believe
that the man did not know he was
there and In spite Of himself he shiv-
cred. He was no more fanciful than
the majority Of young Englishmen.
The L'Anse sentinel., 1923-07-27

but he could not rid himself Of the
impression that some unusually potent
force emanated from the man. The
creature reminded him Of a venomous
snake.
A moment later his impression was
proved correct. The newcomer
knocked at the door as all had done.
but his reception was very different.
The bearded man rose to his feet, and
all the others followed suit. The
German came forward and shook his
hands,, His heels clicked together.

The change in the Germans voice
was audible as he replied with slight
hesitation:
"We have received q message. II
is impossible for him to be present In
person" He stopped, giving a curious
impression Of having left the sentence
unfinished.
A very slow smile overspread the
face Of the other. He looked round
at circle of uneasy faces.
"Ah! understand. I have read Of
his methods. He works in the dark
and trusts no one. But all the same,
1t Is possible that he Is among us
now. :" He looked round him
again, and again that expression Of
fear swept over the group. Each man
seemed eyeing his neighbor doubt
fully.
The Russian tapped his cheek.

In another moment Tommy was
again confronting bare wood-n panels,
and the voices within had sunk once
more to a mere undistinguishable muir

conversation he had overheard had
stimulated his curiosity. He felt that
