INSTALMENT XXV. ' How It Happened At a few minutes after 4 that afternoon, Miss Brown, piloted by the stalwart commissionaire who had fetched her, mounted to the topmost floor of the great building in Whitehall, climbed the final flight of stairs and was ushered into the stronghold which had be-comil DfBrtter's temporary home. He welcomed her with a faint, njtttyaji, smile. "Nerve shaken up?" he inquired. I haven't been feeling verv well," she admitted. "You see, I wu near enough " He checked her kindly. . "I know all about it," he Interrupted, "it was a very terrible affair. Now, will you open that packet upon the table?" She gave a little cry. There it vwm, neatly tied up in brown paper,, with a great red seal in one corner and a knot in the string which she remembered perfectly well. She cut the fastenings at onee with a pair of scissors which he handed to her. A single glance was sufficient "My book!' 'she exclaimed. "The real one! The letters are here, too, in the pocket!" . He hodded. "It was handed over to an agent of. mine an hour ago," he confided. "The vault were almost un- tcoebed.

She drew off her gloves and fingered the book lovingly. "Before you start,' 'he said, "I want one of the addresses I gave you." She opened out the list. He looked over her shoulder and nodded thoughtfully, as he placed his forefinger upon one. He crossed the room to the telephone and spoke for several minutes to an official at Scotland Yard. Then he returned to the table. Miss Brown had already re moved her coat, hat and gloves ana was seatea Deiore tne typewriter. "Any copies?" she asked. "Two." he directed. "Dont hurry. You're as safe here as in the vaults of the Bank of England." Miss Brown propped up her book, glanced through the first few lines, pushed back a somewhat refractory coll of her silken brown hair, lingered for a moment, with her hands l poised over the keys and then started upon her task. Soon her fingers became the purely mechanical instruments of her will. Once more she passed into the wonderful world whifih ehe had envisaged so many times since that memorable night. She felt the amazing thrill of it. the palpitating records of Journey-ings undertaken under circumstances where escape from death seemed almost Impossible. One sentence in particular thrilled .her again as it had done at the first dictation: "It was my wish to have taken Benskopt alive, as he was reported to be in possession of the whole Chinese propaganda scheme bearing the official stamp of the Russian Government, and with special notes in tne nanawnting ox a nign official directing that Great Bri tain should be considered the chief enemy of the movement. The wo man, however, with whom I had danced a few minutes before was, as I had discovered then, armed, and Benskopf himself was draw ing, i couia nave neid nun cover ed, but the woman would have dropped me. It was she who had killed the Frenchman, Merclev, who was reported to have commlt- tea suiciae in tne Indian House Hotel only the week before. I shot Benskopf taking care to kill, and disarmed the womaa pnly Just in time. She tried the usual tactics, and it took me an hour to man-oeuver her to the cafe in the square behind where I had a member of the police wait ing. The woman was one of the most cancerous aeents of the so clety, and I handed to Sir E., our Mininster, on tne following morn ing proofs or her identity and complicity in a list of crimes which he duly preflited to the Government. Chiefly 'jwlng to the aisoraer m tne city ana to urgent representations from Sir E., the woman was shot on the following afternoon." Miss Brown paused for a mo ment. She looked out at the high, uncurtained windows, so hleh that was visible in the above, the stars. Those last few curt words which !her fingers had struck into type' I haunted her.

And the man accosted by two wayfarers, questioned about his bufiness there, unlucky in his replies, lying on his back a moment later with a knife in his chest. wondering with his passing breath, with true Oriental fatalism whence came the death blow.

There is very little doubt that in another week or so she would have succeeded In her campaign. The cathedral and the royal palace would both have been blown up and with the armed mob of peasants once in the city the revolution would have become an accomplished fact. The so-called Princess shot herself, when she realized that the police were at the door." The task was complete at last. There were twenty-nine sheets, a 1st of names, a list of addresses and a packet of letters. She pinned the former together with careful fingers while Desslter came and stood over her. Two copies he folded up and locked away in the safe, together with the packet of letters. The third he placed In a long envelope, scribbled a few lines of incloaure and carefully sealed the flap. Then he spoke down the telephone. "In case any one should arrive tor that envelope before you leave.
