After Ten Years.

For twenty years two business men
in Vienna met every day at the Schnit-
zelplatz cafe for luncheon, and after
the dishes were cleared away, they
would indulge In game of chess
And every day for ten years young
man, stranger to both the players,
would draw up a chair and watch
them In silence.
Finally one day one of the old gen.
tlemen failed to make an appearance,
and, after waiting a decent length of
time. the other turned to the young
man who sat waiting for the game to
begin, speaking to him for the first
time since he had been spectator. my
partner may not appear today. Would
you care to play game with me?'

"but I don't know the game. Metro

CHAPTER XIV


/
In his suite at Claridge's, Kramenin
reclined on a couch and dictated to
his secretary in sibilant Russian.
Presently the telephone at the sec
retary's elbow purred. and he took
up the receiver, spoke for a minute or
two, then turned to his employer.
Some one below is asking for you"
"Who is it?'
"He gives the name of Mr.. Julius
p. Hersheimmer."
"Hersheimmer." repeated Kramenin
thoughtfully. 81 lave heard that name
before"
His father was one of the steel
kings of America" explained the sec
rotary, whose business 1t was to know
everything. This young man must
be a millionaire several times over"
"a millionaire several times over"
murmured Kramenin. Bring him up,
my dear Ivan"
The secretary left the room and re-
turned escorting julius.

ter abruptly.
The Russian. studying him attentive
ly with his pale venomous eyes, bowed.

American. I've got some very i'm

''That may be so--but have" said
julius dryly. "Send him round to

"Very good. Ivan, shall not re-
quIre you again this evening. Go to
the theater-take q night off"
The secretary bowed and departed
Julius stood at ee door watching
his retreat. FinaliS. with satisfied
sigh, he closed 1t, and came back to
his position In the center of the room.

drawled Julius. Then, with an abrupt
change of manner: "Hands up-or
shoot !"
For a moment Kramenin stared
bllndly into the big automatic, then,
with almost comical haste. he flung
up his hands above his head. In that
instant Julius had taken his measure.
The man he had to deal with was an
abject physical coward-the rest would
be easy.

Tommy appreciated her quick-witted-
