At the post office she dropped all
the letters but one Into the Chute. "1t

I gave my judgment that the letter
stood stralgbt on edge, tndlnlug neith-

"Oh vas." murmured Alice. 'that's
the pleasantest chapter of all. Our

While we waited Mnntnnl produced

"My reputation, Is a84e1 !" he ec-
clatmet excitedly. "That he shoo!,'

for not warning you of the danger.
But you understand, mesdames. that

but it's not my affair now."
"We saw you on the steamer and
again in the hotel at Chicago. It was
very amusing to be followed. We
gave you the slip, stopped at Buffalo
to see Niagara, and you came on here
and steered the servants to death:
But you were generous at every
point," said Alice. "We changed our
n ames an we could amuse ourselves
bores --at Rob', expense. So now 1
ask everybody's forgiveness!"
The prisoner, arriving at this mo-
ment, became the center of interest.

to him. brushed back his hair, and
called our attention to a scar on the

"There can be no mistake. This 1s
Adolph Schwen , who passes as
readily for a Fren man as I do for
an Italian. The ca are is of great
Importanee. I shall want the names
of all the persons who assisted In the
matter."
"It isn't quite clear to toe," re-
marked Raynor. turning to me; "why
you held that fellow and said nothing
about it. 1f there had been a mistake,
It would have been just a little em-
barrassing for you. Singl'tnn."
"Chivalry!" Sirs. Farnsworth an-
swered for me. "An anxious con-
cern for the peace and dignity of two
foolish women! i didn't know there
was so much chivalry left In the
world."
An hour was spent In explanations.
and Raynor declared that I must
write a full account of the Alited

ef the spy. The state archives eon
tatned nothing that touched •'.ts epi

even the bewildered Torrence finally

quite human.
Raynor and Mnntanl decided after
a conference that the German agent

mediately, and 1 called Flynn to drive

He choked upon his duty unttl Ray-

most gond humor, "but you are a very

that I represent the American state

has been naked by the British embassy

"I was seven:" salol Alice, "and the

"And then you showed talent for the
stage-"
"A dreadful revelation!" she ex-
claimed,
"But you don't know that it was

"No! Alice never knew that:" 1d
Mrs. Farnsworth, laughing. "1 waa

Alice found It out it would spoil the
adventure for her. Alice must do
things her own way." -
"You are a fraud," said Alice. "but
I always suspeete.l you a little."
"Speaking of the stage," resumed
Raynor, "It Is also a part of my 10-
structions that the Honorable Miss
Seahrtng shall he discouraged from
any further adventure In that direc-
tion; she's far too talented; there's
danger of her becoming 'a great lu-
minary. in other words, she Is not is

Ing."
Alice's brow clouded. and ebe turned
is me. "That was settled when you
mailed that letter for me. It was
to make an appointment with an Amer-
ican playwright who wants me to ap-
pear In a most adorable comedy."
"Ills name is Dick Searles." I said.
"and he's my most Intimate friend."
She professed Indignation when I
told of my eavesdropping in the woods,
but when I explained that 1 knew all
about the play and Searles' despair-
ing
espairIng search for her ahe was enormously
pleased.
"How wonderful!" she exclaimed.
"You know I told you. Constance, that
if we really threw ourselves in the
path of adventure mystery would come
out to meet us In silken sandals."
"But you will not appear In this
play?" asked Raynor anxiously. "It
1s the business of the government of
the United States to see that you com-
mit no further Indiscretions. There V
another matter which I hope you can
clear up. You are not only ■ subject
of concern to the Brltlsh embassy, but
the French ambassador also has ■p•
pealed to us to assist him In a trifling
matter!"
"The French ambassador?" Alice
mistimed with a surprise I knew to
be unfeigned. "I thought the 'dear
Montan) was an Italian?"
"We will continue to call him Men-
tanl, but he's a Frenchman and one
of the keenest men In the French
secret service. You have caused hint
the deepest anguish."

what Is your name
"Mrs. Bashford." I interposed, "m7
friend, Sir. Searles."
"Bir. Searles!" cried'Allce, dropping
a cage containing some weird Oriental
bird which had been among my aunt's
inpelhu, ata The bard squawked
hideously.
"Bliss Violet Iiewing, permit me to
present the author of 'Lady Lark-
spur'!"
h was a week later that Alice and
i sat on the stone wall watching the
waves, at the point forever memorable
as the scene of our first talk.
"Aunt Alice Isn't playing fair," abe
said. "She pretends now that It was
all my Idea -coming over to play at
being our uncle's widow, but she real-
ly enrnnraged me to do It so I could
give her an Importtal judgment of
your 'character. I'm her only niece
and her namesake, and she relies o•
me s good deal. You know she's very,
very rich, and she had never any Idea
of keeping your uncle's money. She
meant all the while to give it to you
-provided she found you were nice.
And she thinks you are very nice."
"Tour own opinion of me would be
interesting," I suggested.
She had gathered a handful ot peb-
bles and was flloging them fitfully at
a bit of driftwood. 1 wished her lips
hadn't that little gniver that preluded
laughter and that her eyes were not 1
the haven of ■11 the dreams In the
world.
She landed a pebble on the target
before replying.
"Yon are very nice, I think," she
said with disconcerting detachment.
"At first I was afraid you didn't like
nonsense, but you really got through
very well, considering the tmnbie I
caused you. But I'm In trouble myself
now. Papa will land tomorrow. He's

not he for long. Even 1f It's • big
sicced, I'm to be released to three
months. Constance and Slr reel(
think I owe It to myself to appear In
the piece; they're good enough to say
nobody else can do it so well-whlcb
le a question. I'm going to give all
the money I earn to the hltnd sol-
diers."
(I wished the tears In her eyes
didn't make thelia more lovely shill)
"Being what you are and all you are,
It would he brutal for me to add to
the number of things you have 10 tell
your father. I'm a verjti.ohacure per.
SOD, and he Is a gentlernan.of title and

"Papa has said numbers of times,'
she began softly, looking' far out
across the hlue Sound -"he has. Mid,
oh, very often. thnt he'll never stop
troubling about me until -until Fm
happily marrleet."•
"When you came here you won
a wedding ring," I remarked casually.
- "It was only a 'property' ring; to
help dceelve you. 1 bought It In Chi• .
tago. When Aunt Alice came I threw
it away."
"The finger seems lonesome without
t1." I said. "If I get you another, I
lope you'll take better ore of 1L"
"If you should pit It there," she
replied. Rookie( fixedly at the hand,
'that would he very, yery dIdseat.'
