Miss Brown duly caught heT train and was driven from Cam-berley station in a taxicab to the address given a very modest villa on the edsre of the heath. A trim maidservant ushered her Into art ordinarv sitting room of the furnished house type, and a few moments later transferred her to a larger aoartment where a woman we eatad writing at a table. "Miss Brown, my lady," tne maid announced. The woman turned around p. tall. dark" woman, handsome but with restless eyes and gestures. She was apparently still quite young and her voice when she rooke was pleasant enough, but there was a Queer sort of uneasl nw in her manner asi though she were all the time watching for and fearing some untoward Hap pening. "Htve you come from Miss Ham , ilton's ' agency?" she inquired. Miss Brown acquiesced and pre sented her testimonials, with. which Ladv Hannerton. after a brief examination, was evidently impressed. "What salary do you require?" she asked. "If I live in. two pounds a week." "That is not excessive," Ladv Hannerton admitted pleasantly. "I have a considerable correspon dence. some of which Is of a confidential nature, and I do not like my affairs discussed outside this house Are vou to be trusted?" "My testimonials will answer that question," Miss Brown pointed out. "I am Interested In politics." Lady Hannerton went on, her eyes fixed upon her visitor. "I am '"thlnkm? of stnnding for Parliament very shortly. For that reason I am ollectlng a great deal of In formation about people In all con-1 anions oi lite, and particularly m the army.

He departed and returned presently with a brown pot full of stew. He brought also a cocktail of ms own preparing. "You are a little tired. I think, this morning. Miss Brown." he said. "Please drink this. I hope vou will like the stew. It was mad by my mother. In the old days it was quite a iavome cisn. I know that I shall like it " she assured him. "Now please ea and look after your other guests. men i want to talk to you seriously." . i He nurried away to greet some new arrivals, so tall, so loose-limb ed that he would have been un. couth but for a sort of feline-like grace with which he moved. There was a stralghtness of the shoul ders, too. which bespoke military training, and a carrlaee of the head which Miss Brown had always liked. She drank her cocktail approvingly, and ate her stew with appetite. An under-waiter brought her some fruit and coffee. The Place was thlnnlnar out a little now, and presently Paul re appeared.
