In the suburbs Marseilles is Mod - -ern enough, but the chief thorough- fare, - known to all who read, the fatuous ever busy Cannebiere, plunges rapi ly downhill until it empties itself on the crowdedquays that surround the old port, With the newer Marseilles "of°the Jeliette—well found ih wharfs and warehouses, steam cranes and rail- way lines—the town beloved of the; Phoenicians has no eoneeru. There is no touch of modern ugliness i2t the tiny maritime refuge, which is barely half the size of the Serpen- tine. Tufty, old-fashioned, half- ruined houses. throng close to its rugged quays. At night this quarter of the tur- bulent city wears an air 'of -inten -e , mystery.

Contrary to the opinions express, ed by the two men, ilcllle, Beau- caire did not board as passing tram car.

It cbanecd that where she" stood frit' as moment a fruit -seller occupied a - tiny shop squeezed tightly* between r. church and a restaurant. Ilhe interior was dark enough, for ai couple of flaring naptha lamps were so disposed as to east their flicker- ing brilliancy' over the baskets of fruit and vegetables displayed Ain the 'window or crowded together on the pavement. The: woman inside had a kindly and contented face, cherry ripe in check and lips, and from a pair of deep-set blue eyes she,looked out quizzically, at the hurrying crowd, Assnring herself with one fleet- ing glance' that La .Belle Masseuse still remained motionless and in- tent at the crossing, Edith darted into the shop. She produced a sov- ereign. "I have not much French mon et,•," she said hurriedly, "but this is worthy twenty-five francs. Gain: you let me have a large dark shawl?

"Where is Miss Talbot 1" "Edith -has gone after her, °$ said Fairhalme. "What." cried Brett, utero start- led than he eared to own. "Yes," broke in Talbot eagerly,'. :She heard my words and instant-° y decided to follow her.. She said t the woman Itnew both of us, night easily deteet us, but she,. ith, was unknown to her, and would never be suspected. She nply forced us to come -and tell you, and glen darted off like I1< eyhound before we couldstop her," Brett forced himself to say calm- ly— "Miss Talbot has acted quite• rightly. 1Ve must simply remain here until she returns.

It was wellfor the peace of mind of the younger men that, Sir Hubert F tzjames had, gone to his room soon after the party reached the hotel.

But if the Frenchwoman was a ,' good walker, Edith Talbot was a better one, and now that she no longer feared notice—for she draped the large shawl as elegantly about her shoulders as any woman in Marseilles—she ;decided to adopt a little strategy. , Instead of keeping directly behind mademoiselle, she broke'Into 'a run under "'the . sha- dow of the houses. By thus making up ground she approached the row street towards which the p Frenchwoman was heading almost simultaneously with her - quarry, but apparently from an opposite directi o.1. The aspect (o f the, thor- oughfare through which, the two women sped was forbidding in the extreme. The houses were many storeys in height, of disreputable S' , p appearance, and so close together on both sides that, were other con- ditions equal, an, active man might easily spring from one room into another across the street.
