OF You for one morning.
His mind was still fun OF his ho-
tel theory, and he was quite deter
mined not to be robbed by any plaus-
Ible stranger. He turned away and
walked across the han toward the
row OF telephone boxes. He had no
intention OF telephonlng to any one.
Indeed, he knew no one In Berlin to
whom he could telephone. nor could
he have given a number In German.
He merely wished to escape from
Casimlr
But Caslmir was not an easy man
to shake of. He followed Tommy.
You wish to go to the Mascotte
tonight" he said. "Please?"
The word please" was evidently
In constant use IN Casimir's Language.
His repetition OF It in English gave
curious effect OF extreme pollteness
TO his conversation.
Tommy had heard OF the Mascotte.
My nephew. Emily,s eldest boy. was
In Berlin for some time as a subor-
dtnate member OF the inter-allled mis-
sion Of control. He knew all there |
was to know about the night life Of
the city. II is supper place,

London county council would APP

Please, you win visit the Mas

Caslmir nodded and smiled in a
very confidential manner. as II he and
Tommy shared secret which no one
else In the world knew anything
about Tommy revised his opinion OF
the man. He was not a hotel thief.
He was a tout. engaged In securing
customers for the Mascotte supper
room. Tommy had heard OF such
people. He had no intention OF put
ting himself into the hands of one
OF them.
"She win be there. naturally said
Casimir, "and"-another quotation.

Tommy's mind

This was going too far. Tommy

day. He had discarded his clerical
collar In order to- do so more freely
but he had no wish to pursue I'M
known ladies into night clubs. In or
der to get rid of Caslmir finally he
stepped into the nearest telephone
box.
It was already occupied. and. since
a telephone box Is always a very
small thing. he bumped into a lady
who held the receiver TO her ear. She
was so intent on what she was doing
that she took no notice of Tommy.
He most unwillingly heard what she
was saying.
Then let me tell you, young man,
that there'll be trouble. Lord Ed 1
mund Troyte distinctly promised that 4
my passport would be ready for me. :

Janet Church turned at last TO !
Tommy, who had bumped into her
