"Oh, there is no occasion' for alarm,"
explained, the secretary in his urbane
manner. "He has ventured as far as

was unavoidable. He particularly re-
quested that we should commence
luncheon, but hoped to be back before
we should have finished."
Phil Abingdon glanced rapidly from
the face of the speaker to that of
Ormuz Khan. But her scrutiny of
those unreadable countenances avail-

a great and growing uneasiness; and

her arm playfully.
