They stepped quickly across the pavement and entered the building. There was no salute from the policemen, no greeting from those other officlal-looklnff loit erers who were scrutinizing closely the faces of the passersby. As soon as they were inside the portals of the building Miss Brown's companion Jed the way to the Mergen, who opened a heavy oak door with a latchkey, and stand- j ing on one side, motioned his I companion to precede him. Miss! Brown found herself in a spacious apartment, somewhat scan-1 tily furnished, half as a sitting room, half as an office, with a , fine Georgian writing desk in the middle of the room. The carpet.1 evidently new, was soft and lux- i urlous. There were two comfortable easy chairs and a huge sofa bedstead. Mergen indicated a chair. "I will let Mr. Glyde know that yon are here, madam." he said. I He disappeared through a door 1 at the further end of the room! and almost Immediately a tall, ' thin man made his appearance. Miss Brown rose to her feet ex-' pectantly. j The newcomer was clean shaven. I sallow, and his hair was almost completely white. His mouth, however, had' very familiar characteristics. He walked with a slight lintD, and carried a rubber-shod stlck.- "I am Miss Brown," she announced a little diffidently. "And I am very glad to see you here." was the prompt and courteous reply. "Mergen tells me," she continued, "that vou are Colonel Des-slter's executor." "I am his cousin. Glyde Is my name-John Glyde. Mergen has told me the whole story of your visit to Lombertson Square. I 'am sorry to have had to leave you alone so long. Have you any news?" "Anv news?" Miss Brown reflected. "I am followed all the time wherever I go." "Naturally." "Some men tried to snatch mv satchel away the morning I took th notebook to the bank." "I heard of that. And since then?" "A man called to Interview mesa Id he heard that I was with Colonel Deeslter Just before he died. I found out that he was an imposter. He then offered "I had warned the manager".

"If it had been a million." sho said, "It would have been Just the same. Please tell me, Mr. Glyde, was he soeaking the truth when he said that he had been such a great friend of your cousin?" "His breed can never tell the truth," was the scornful reply. "He is one of the most dangerous men on the other side. We have his name on the black list with a scarlet cross against It.

"A smooth-tongued rascal I" John Glyde muttered. 'Then today at luncheon," Miss .Brown went on. "there was Mala-koff, the musician." "8coundrel! What about him?" "He assured me that if he had reached England In time he would have been your cousin's literary executor. He wanted me to read through my notebook with him and allow him to edit It. He offered me his emerald ring If I would consent." Marvelous," John Glyde murmured. "Do you know how much that ring was worth, young lady?" She shook herShcad. 1A great deal'ifaf, money, from what he said she remarked Indifferently. "A hundred thousand pounds at least." John Glyde assured her.

"Oood!" he exclaimed. "On the other hand, there Is some one else whom I have met who seems to know a great deal about It " she went on. 'I wanted to ask you about him." "Some one else trying to get at you, eh?" i "I don't think so." she replied1 doubtfully. "He helped me on one occasion and if it had been necessary for me to have trusted any one, I should have trusted him. HI name is Mr. Paul. and he is a Russian.

He laid It down in front? of Miss-Brown. "My book!" she gasped. "How eu.arth did you-geUthat?" tie smiled. "There are some matters," he said, "concerning which you had better not be too inquisitive at present." "But It was left in the bank in my name," she cried, "and It was not -to be given up to any one except to me personally." "Even banks are human," was the dry response. "Anyhow there Is your book, and on the table is your choice of two typewriters and an unlimited supply of paper and carbons. The sooner you com- Slete your task the better the etter for you. the better for me and the better for the world." Miss Brown took off her coat and her gloves and laid them tidily upon a chair. Then she also took off her hat and smoothed her hair. Her fingers were trembling a little and her heart pounding. "I am quite ready," she announ ced, with her hand upon the book. "I will be writing a letter or two at me other, end of the room John Glyde told her. "Call me if you want me." Miss Brown's fingers wandered across the keys of the typewriter which she had selected. With her left hand she opened the book, al-thouah without its help, she remembered that first sentence so well. Her fingers, however, re mained in the air.

John Glyde, on His way to his desk, turned quickly around. "What's the matter?" She pointed to the book with a trembling finger. "It is the same make I could have sworn to my rubber band- but it isn't my book. It is empty." He was across the room in a couple of strides.

They could not reconcile retirement in defeat with such a defiant spirit. But Clemenceau remained silent. He did not disclose his plans.

About that time friends disclosed that the Old Tiger, since his retirement, had been occupying inuibKu wiui a mue garden to produce vegetables for his meager living and writing his memoirs. Clemenceau s memoirs! That announcement caused varied emotions among the public men of Prance curiosity, Joy, indignation, fear according to their relations with the Tiger during his lifetime. For whether accused by his enemies of having imposed upon France a dictatorship of Napoleonic insolence or hailed by his followers as the "Saviour of France" and the "Father of Victory," he was widely discussed, hated, admired and loved; Clemenceau left no one indifferent. Old Man Then Clemenceau was 75 when he was called to pilot France through the darkest days of the world war.

ArTest of Calllaux Shortly after Clemenceau's rise to power be eaused the arrest of his former political colleague, Joseph Calllaux, on charges of commerce with the enemy and high treason. Calllaux was convicted on the former charge, but that of treason was quashed. Of Che incident Clemenceau said: "It was a case of Calllaux or myself. Polnoare had no alternative, either call Calllaux to power or call me. He ehose me. Had he sent for Calllaux the latter would have had me arrested and made peace with Germany; I decided to have Calllaux arrested and go on with the war." Clemenceau found opposition to his government Just as bitter as that ne directed against his prede cessors and he was called upon to resign In June, 1918, after the Germans had broken through at the Chemm des Dames, crossed the Marne and were at Chateau Thler ry. 40 miles from Paris.
