INSTALMENT IX. "That Is all outside my province," the young man assured her. "There is no institution In the world today which has not its secret service In one form or another. Naturally there is one attached to my political party, but it is only by ' the merest chance that I happen- j cd to know anything about their present activities. As I do, how- ; cvfcr," he went on, twisting his fingers nervously, "may I give you a word of advice?" "It certainly seems to me," Miss i Brown declared ingenuously, "tnat I shall need advice from some one or other soon." "You have accomplished your mission, and you have no doubt I hope you have been well paid for it. Let it go at that. If those people want to make use of you again, don't let them. Our own people are pretty clever or they wouldn't have known all about you, but they are also, I am afraid, terribly unscrupulous, and though we Mem to be Hiving In law-abiding times, the whole world Is bristling underneath. Keep out of it all, Mhw Brown. Stick to your .typing; and mind you this is very serious advice, put a seal upon your Hps forget.'' : He rose to his feet. "Are you going?" "I am afraid I must ask you to excuse me," he regretted. "I am due down at -the house of commons in ten minutes, and one of the first duties of a secretary, you know, is punctuality. Will you remember mv advice. Miss Brown?" i ''I will try," she promised. "And those dancing lessons?" She shook her head. "Nevertheless," he threatened, "I ;fear that you are going to find me 'a somewhat persistent person." -; He took his leave gracefully, with even a touch of wistfulness in his farewell smile. Miss Brown sat alone and wondered about manv things. In the lounge, beyond the little crowd of dancers, she caught a glimpse of Frances' pale profile. Mr. Frankland, redder than ever, obviously eloquent, was leaning forward from a chair by her side engaged In earnest conversation. Miss Brown Remembers Mtw Brown remained demdrely at the table to all appearance an Interested spectator of the dancing rind tne general ' merriment. As a matter of fact, her recent convert sation had carried her back to a yery .different world. She felt a sudden shivering" revulsion to the gayety by which she was surrounded, the clamorous music, the hubbub 6f conversation, the Continual popping of corks. Against her will STOMACH PAINS?

EMiUips vtnlieun her thoughts had been transported , d those vivid and very different iibufs through which she had recently passed. The curtain rolled MB before her. She Was back aealn In the hard feather chair In the disbrdered room with the dead man behind the screen and the dylnfe man cbrtfidlng to her brain and lingers the achievement of his life. 8He heard Ihe dry phrases recounting his day-by-day struggle, always the; flame of his lire flickering in the Wirtds of deaths a thousand menacing dangers against a single person wnose sone weapons were courage, Iron will, iron self-control. At that moment the whole adven-1 tjire came, back to her so vividly thalt she felt that wtird by word, page by page, she could have transcribed from memory scene after scene, page after page of that epic .of secret history.' She forgot entirely during that ve,ry brief lapse that she was Miss Brown, the modest little typist of Shepherd's Market. . JJec ietX were planted in a greater and more terrible world, the atmosphere she breathed seemed spiced with danger and to savor of me ana aeatn. And then it all faded away like a flash. She looked up with a little start, suddenly aware that a man was standing by her table. "Will you dance with me, please?" he begged. For a moment, too surprised to answer, she found herself looking at him speechless. He was tall, thin, very pale, with a sad and thoughtful face which n those few seconds seemed somehow familiar to her. He was not a person of Whom it seemed possible to be for a moment afraid, yet with her new-born suspicion of strangers, when she found words, was uncompromising in her refusal. "Thank you very much," she said. "I do not dance often. I am quite content to wait for my friend." He made, no movement to depart. His fingers were twitching. He leaned lowfef, Over the table. 5Y0u need not Alnd tlinclng wijh I m " ViA rnfMrt4 "f Vwi n nrrfrcTt slonal dancer-here, and I am paid to dance with ladles who have no partner, but It is not only that I wish to speak to you." "You, tool" she exclaimed curiously. "WhSt do you wish to speak about? Is there something you Want to buy or steal Irom me?" He flushed a little. From his careful choice of words and a slight, unrecognizable accent, she realized that he must be a foreigner. "What I should more naturally Wish," lit t61d he, "would be to help yotf from those who desire to buy or steal your trust. Will 70U roance, "please? Then we mfgHt talk witnout oeing overneara. Miss Brbwh considered the matter. She Had schooled herself not to trust to appearances, but If ever a young mart looked honest, this- one did, She rose hesitatingly to hfer feet, and from that moment his undoubted skill and tile music took charge of affairs. She1 danced with a'r8Hw -amHwer Increasing pleasure. When after two, encores the music stopped she was breathless. She glanced toward her table, realized that Frances had not returned, and suffered herself ttt be led to a recess of the room , in which were several easi-chaifs. She waited until they were both ensconced and then faced him. squarely.- i w1 y m tlon, even if there had been any one to describe her. , "You must tell me how you know that," she begged. Another' Mystery He hesitated.- "I Would rather not answer your question definitely. Will you let me tell you this? Colonel Dessltfer has always been the friend of ihy family. I have had a message from him lately. . I know, you see, that you nave come into inis great struggle much to say to you." She stole a glance at him. He was very big and. but for the remains of his military training and a probably inherited ease of bearing, would have been a little clumsy. His eyes Were as brown as hers were blue, his features irregular, his, hair stubborn. He was distinctly pleasant to look at witnout Deing nanasome according to any accepted standards. "I am a Russian," he announced. She drew a llltte away. "And therefore an exile and a bitter enemy of those who have destroyed my country," he went on. She flushed with a momentary sMf-consciousness. She had a feeling that he was sensitive, and that her slight movement of revulsion had hurt jhlm. riJirajMik'e. many; other of my country people," he explained, "engaged In a struggle t6 earn a living.

"I .know that you are Miss Edith Brown," he said, "a stenographer living in Shepherds Market, and that you were with Colonel Des- i siter for several hours last eve ning." She was frankly puzzled. It seemed to her that she had stumbled into a world in which strange things were always happening, but that this young man should have known of her adventure in Lombertson Square was a little more than ordinarily incomprehensible.
