"One can scarcely refuse two very distinguished men who are foreigners. Besides, Mr. Malakoff has promised to give a large dinner party here tomorrow night. His doings are always reported in the newspapers. It will be a great advertisement." Paul shook his head. "it aoes not seem to me wise, he said, "to take such a risk when everything is going on so nicely. However, It Is not my affair." "Better let me send you a bottle," the other suggested, "and make up your little difference with Mr. Bretskopf afterward." "Thank you," Paul replied coldly. "That would be impossible." The manager walked off to wel-i come some newly arrived clients. The hubbub died away, as though by magic. The sergeant's voice was neara aistincuy. soon as he had completed his tour of the room, he called to the manager "I am leaving a man here," he said, "to see that there Is no further infringement of the law.

Miss Brown struggled into ner new evening coat -with a little smile upon her face, she understood now the meanine of a telephone message, which, in very guarded terms, she had -transmitted that afternoon to XYO. Scotland Yard. BACK AT XYO "So you frequent night clubs. do you, Miss Brown?" Desslter inquired suddenly, turning around from his desk after a somewhat curt good morning. "I've never visited one before,' was the apologetic reply. "Hope you enjoyed It," he grunted. ' see your name was taken- -address. Shepherd's Market." "Ought I to have given a wrone address? I'm sorry. I've had no experience." it s just as well that while you are engaged uoon this sort of work your name is out of the newspapers as much as possible. However, you were with my dear young friends. I see, which counts ror someuung ne.naa an engagement there, as dancer. Miss Brown confided. "If was he who Invited my friend and me." - The matter of vour nresence there Is of -no particular conse quence," Desslter said, aware of a suspicious dimness in Miss Brown's blue eyes. Trie nuisance is that I oould have given you a tip to stay away If I had known about It." "I wonder," Miss Brown mused, "how you got Bretskopf there?" Dessiter finished the letter he had been writing, rose to his feet and strolled across the room. He eat on the corner of Miss Brown's table an attitude which was becoming a habit of his. "Are yon insinuating that XYO had anything to do with this raid?" "I, think that you planned it," Miss Brown' replied. "You see. I sent that telephone message to Scotland Yard." "I had forgotten that,' 'he admitted. "As for getting Brftskopf there, it was a chance, of .course. We sent carts of invtutlorfflrrthe manager's name, and Mademoiselle Lola earned fifty pounds by Insisting on wine. We scarcely dared hope ,for the brawl, though. That was an amaxing stroke of luck.

"I. thlrfli w uiu ii wiui tne iaea oi.aiumii-lattng him. Mr. Paul refu&ea -and the manager dismissed him." Dessiter frowned. ; "Quite right, too," he pronounced. The mpst difficult lad in the world, that. Mist. Brown. I was indebted before the war to his people for a great deal of hospitality and kindness, but do you think that they will accept help from me now? Not one penny. I've offered it in the most delicate man ner I can think of time after time. All that I can get out of your young friend is that he'll come to me If he's really hard un against it. Dots he want to marry either of you two?" Miss Brown was surprised at the sudden searching gaze he bent upon her. She felt her eyes caught and held, realized, as she had done before, the impossibility of tel ling a fle td this- man. "My friend and he get on very well." she said. "I believe Mr. Paul is fond of htm but then they haven't seen a areat deal of one nnotner yet. ' Desslter had the air of a mart who has discovered all that he; wantea to Know. He went back to nis desk, lit a cigarette and be gan a laiy perambulation of th room, a messenger arrived with tome reports two from the War Office and one from Scotland Yard. He glanced them through initialed them and handed them to Miss Brown to file.
