The two drove off together after a
brief delay. Ennison, to whom 1 had
telephoned, picked me up in his car.
We made n more brief call, and
reached the hotel Is the taXicab con-
tanning Monsieur Lutarde and his
companion was turning into the
other end of the long street. Ma
dame, from behind the glass win
dows Of her bureau, eyed us a little
suspiciously as we entered. I en-
gagged her In confidential conversa-
ton, however, respecting a suite,
and she did not even notice the three
or four men who had followed us at
intervals into the hotel and who dis
appeared in various directions. Pres
emily / heard the taxicab stop. I
made an excuse, and we hurried into
the sale a manger. Janet, followed
by Monsieur Lutarde, who, although
he had taken off his hat, held it in
front of his face, crossed the floor
swiftly toward the lift. Madame held
out her key, which Janet accepted
with a little nod. They passed into
the lift, and we heard 1t ascend. I
returned to the bureau. I allowed
myself to show much interest.
but surely, HdudHle, 1 WIS
pered, that was Monsieur Lutarde,
the great statesman, who entered
with the lady2"
Madame smiled at us knowingly.
"In effect 1t is he," she admitted.
Madame is the wife OF an old
client, an American gentleman who
left this evening for London"
"a love-affair?" I queried under
my breath.
Madame shrugged her shoulders.

genius, Norman Greyes."
"If you need money to get you
back to England" I said, you can
apply to the British consul. I will
arrange it for you"
A quarter of an hour later we sat
among the most cosmopolitan crowd
in the world outside the Cafe de la
Paix, slipping our absinthe and
watching the passersby.
"A very successful evenings
work." Ennison declared thoughtful
ly.
$50 far as it goes" I acquiesced.
After all, though, a man with so
many enemies can never be alto
gether free from danger" !
I'VE have gone tonight farther
than you think" my companion as
sured me. 1.-THE agents of the
French police who were with us ex-
tracted confessions from the hotel
proprietor and his wife, among
others, which implicate some very
well-known people. From this even
ing Monsieur Lutarde is free from
the danger of any attempt upon
either his life or his honor"
I'm that case" 1 agreed, "our
work has indeed been well DONE"
Many months afterward a curious
ly insignificant episode of those next
few minutes was brought forcibly to
my mind. Near us a very precise
and elderly man, with a red ribbon
in his buttonhole, raised his hat to
Ennison as he passed us. My COM
panion returned the salute, and l
watched his dignihed wandering
among the chairs until lie found one
to his liking. The waiter, seeing him
approach, bowed low and hurried
away without waiting for his spoken
order.
who was that?" I inquired Curl
ously.
IAN insurance agent in the Rue
Scribe" Ennison replied. His name,
l think, is CASTOR Lefevre."
IA type" | observed.
There are many here" he as
sented.
"The Three MaIefactors," fifth
story of this remarkable series, will
begin in our next issue.

will never discover. He has a vio-

Into the hotel, with his coat-tails

myself had stepped back out of
sight, and I watched the scene. The
newcomer acted his part we'll.

Color Contrast for Black Frocks

What Is your idea oe a suitable

women are forever surprising each
othsr by the way they answer this
question. or course they don't ac-
'Vaiiy answer it, usually, save by ex-
ample. There are some women who
never feel quite comfortable at home
IN steam-heated houses or apart
mencs until they have donned some
thihS sheer or filmy. They ding to
summer wash frocks, and are never
more comfortable indoors than when
wearing froek originally intended
kor SUMMER climes and warmer seasons.
The one-pieCe sport frock Is the
;aoics of many women for general
!ndoor wear, and there are still
tsw who cling with amazing senacity
10 the blouse and skirt combination
Sor hours indoors. Fortunately most
women have learned the folly Of
wearing the skirt and blouse be-
longing to suit as All indoor frock
SOME women never make any spe-
cial plans for what they shall wear
Hoiie lHdoorS. Iney wear any
ming that seems 4 little too dilapi-
lated Tor wear anywhere else. Neg
iges or some sort or other fiji the
