Brett instantly advanced and took
off his hat with dant pleainnt smile'
of his which usually went straight
to the female. heart, but which now
thoroughly lost its effect on the
furious young woman who looked
at him from the interior of the-voi-
tnre.
"Allow me," he said, "to offer'
my friendly services. It. is o close

sure, many other calls en her time.
I will save you at leastan hour,
and myself nearly the same period.
I am going to secure the presence
of a witness to identify you as the
lady who crossed the Channel last
Tuesday in company with .a gentle-
man. You both drove to the Grand
Hotel, and your companion signed
the register there in the names of
.l1Ir. and Mrs. Talbot; is it not so?"
She beat 'forward, and looked at
him viciously. Her eyes sparkled
with annoyance at being caught so
easily in her self-imposed piece of
espionage.

She steadily levelled the weapon
and fired twice, meshing the two

transferred the pistol to her left

Without another -word the party
returned to the front 'iooan of the

CHATTER,' X..
On their way to the hotel, Brett,
yielding apparently to a momen-
tary impulse, stopped the cab, at a
house in the Rue due Chauesee
d'.Antin, Without any explanation;
to Lord h'airholme he disappeared
into the interior, and dict not re,

"It is perhaps not of much use,",
he explained on 'his return, "hut I
