CHAPTER v.

Just why Kestner hesitated was
not quite clear to himself. To
break through a pine door, he
knew, was easy enough. but 1t
was not so easy to face the predi-
cament Of appearing ridiculous in
Maura Lambert's eyes. His in
trusion now could never be a dig
nified one. Among other things
he was sadly in need Of his shoes
and few men can hope to be i'm.
pressive without their footwear.
He was also a little. ashamed of
his rusty brown apparel. But he
was more ashamed Of the thought
that around him would necessarily
hang the odium Of the eavesdrop-
per, Of the spy and lurker behind
closed doors. He dreaded to face
the woman in the next room. He
would seem doubly ignoble before
her now, swept as she was by her
expiatory passion Of remuneration.
She was in some way above him,
exalted by an emotion which he
could not share with her She
was facing the light, for the first
time In her life, and in that hour
Of illumination he himself would
cut but a sorry figure. For a
moment or two the Secret Agent
almost hated his calling.
But all thought on the matter
was ended by an abrupt movement
from the next room. Kestner had
no means Of determining just
what had prompted Carlesi's
action. There was nothing to
show that any sign or word
had been passed in to the

Italian in the printing-room. But
some message, Kestner felt, must
have been given and received, to
bring about 50 new a course Of
action. There was the sound Of
a light switch being snapped on,
the CRATE Of a key turning in q
lock, and the door Of the print
ing room was suddenly thrown
open.
This was followed by a silence
Of several seconds, and then from
the startled girl came cry, low
in note, yet shot through with a
timbre which caused a small
thrill to speed through Kestner's
crouching body.
"Carlesi!"
She repeated the word more
quietly, as though 1t were balm
to her breast, as though she were
hugging to her soul some truth
which could never be taken away
from her.
Kestner could see nothing. He
no longer had any definite idea
as to their positions. But he
knew they were talking in Italian
now, volubly, excitedly, feverishly.
She was assailing him with anx-
ious questions and demands. His
answers, at times seemed equivo-
cal and circuitous. He kept hedg-
ing and contradicting himself, but
by sheer force of will she was
finally wringing the truth from
him, forcing from his reluctant
lips a confirmation of what Mo-
relic had already told her.
It was only brokenly that Kest-
ner could follow the hurrying in
terplay of their talk. But he
gathered that earliest had opened
his shirt front and was showing
the girl a bullet scar there, the
scar which she herself had made.

- gan twirling her foot with
the funny awkwardenss Of

asked, keeping any suggestion of
banter out Of my voice.
II can't put him off. 1 don't
want Mr.. Rockhill to know. I'm
sure you're good enough friend"
she choked out .blindly and
whisked herself out Of my office
as amazingly as she'd whirled in.

Mr.. Rockhill plunged me into a
