“It wns from Wat,(Iron then, no
xloviht. I’m glad you told me. The
chances are they will both be where
we are going, unless they have al
ready quarreled over that bunch of
easy money you spoke about.”
"But Inis that been paid over by
Krantz? Who has It?”
"The fellow who put a knife Into
Alva—whoever he may he."
“And you don’t know who the as
sassin was?”
"No. Only it must have been one
of certain men; perhaps two were in
the affair. At first I figured It out
to bo Waldron alone; now I am not
so sure that Harris didn’t have some
hand In It. They may have had the
affair all planned—the money was
passed over to Alva early in the eve
ning I didn’t know It then; I learned
this later. Krantz told me when we
were alone on the way hack to New
York. Let’s move along; there is a
policeman coming yonder.”
The officer passed us slowly, swing
ing his club, and eyed us curiously as
he went by; I did not turn my head,
yet felt certain he stopped and looked
back as though wondering what our
business could be' ! ‘ In that neighbor
hood. We turned down a still darker
side street before exchanging further
speech.
“I believe I know what yon are,"
I said at last In low tones close to her
ear, "an agent of the Secret Service.”
“Oh, no; the honor you offer me Is
far too great. I have not attained
to any such official dignity.”
*‘I rather expected you to deny;
but you offer me no other explana
tion."
"And so you detide to believe that?
Very well, Mr. Severn. I shall let you
have It your own way. You deserve
reward; only. pray, never suggest this
theory to any one else. Let It remain
our secret, will you?"
“Your mockery does not chsnge my
mind."
“I had no expectation that It would;
neither does It bring me a salary. But.
seriously, forget all this raillery to
night, and remember only that you
■ re with Marie. Uessler. Whatever
her puriMote may he. you are to be
loyal only to her."
"I am, absolutely." I replied with a
convJ'-tlon my voice was unable to
disguise She turned her face quick
ly, and In the dim light our eyes met.
‘‘You said that very earnestly. You
make me helleve I Judged you right.
Philip Severn. Here Is my hand."
I clasped It tightly, the firm prea-
sure of the warm fingers sending an
Instant thrill through every nerve of
my l>i*dy. It was not withdrawn, and
we walked so closely together I could
feel the slight pressure of her form,
aimed resting ngninst mine.
“Where are you taking njeY’
"To IVrond’s French ca f e—have
you e\er heard of It?"
"No, I think not."
"I have been there with sliijnmtng
purtVs once or twice, with a plain
clothes man along, of course, to show
us the sights. It Is not very respect
able. I believe, although really I nevj
er mi w anything particularly dan-
gerooV. Interesting and unconven
tional. of course, hut I anticipate no
trouble, unless we care to make It
ourselves. You see the cluster of
lights at the next corner. That’s
I'eroud’s."
As 1 gazed forward, she drew her
hni’d from my grasp, and her form
st r. lightened.
"What am I to do when we arrive?"
"Merely he the attentive escort—
hot not too attentive, please. Have
yo’t dined?”
Vo. I was going to ask von."
"You need not ask me—I am fam
ished and this place is really famous
for |is meals.”
Pei end's was really underground; at
lev st you descended a broad pair of
s’eos to attain its entrance, and the
ginos In windows and doors fronting
I he. street wtijf heavily draped, pre
venting any view of the interior from
v’thour.* What was overhead could
not be determined in the darkness,
my' eyes, merely discerning the but-
I: >s of a tall building, without a
of lights showing anywhere
from top to bottom. The front of the
rc.s M irant, however, was 'hjdHiantly
Hr. and a colored man In uniform
p onptly held open the door as we
began descending the stairs. —
Within the vestibule a maid re
lieved us of outside wraps, and thus
unencumbered we advanced through
open di»ors directly Into the main
room. This was a surprisingly large
apartment, filled with tables of va
rious sizes and shapes, the iqajorfty
occtjpi.sl by men and women, either
enr!:).; or drinking. Near the center
was a cleared space for dancing, hut
nt that moment unoccupied, while
fttrmst the farther wall, on a rather
tr o, *tage. two cabaret singers were
noisily entertaining the crowd. Alto-
pWher it wb* ■ atlrrlng and attractive

somblance of any preconceived notion
of rite underworld. I could have eas
ily imagined that we bad entered,

Broadway.
Nor did our entrance create the
slightest Interest, beyond awakening
the attention of the head waiter, who
met us smilingly.
“A table for two, ^I'sleur?"
, "A booth, please; have you one
near the center?’’ and I slipped a hill
into his-hand, which closed it instant
ly out of. sight.
“Ah, certainly; die very thing,
MJsietir. I will show you. Francois,
the central booth for the gentlenurti.
Ah. see, M’sieur—blen< tres bien!”
It was Indeed a cozy spot, with the
heavy curtains held aside. A divan
of soft plush across the end, a table
covered-with snowy linen, afid already
glistening with silver and glass, la
the center, and three exceedingly com
fortable chairs.
“It Is very fine, M’sieur,” I said.
"Quite to my satisfaction. You might
lower one of those curtains, If .you
will. Yes, that is much better. la
Francois our waiter?”
"Oul, M’slegr; you would be served?
The table de holt, Francois. These
dishes are ready—but, M’sieur, we
serve quickly whatever you wish.”
He spread his hands expressively,
glanced swiftly about to assure him
self all was well, and backed out, still
politely bowing, leaving th*e attentive

I supplemented with a bottle of wine.

Is altogether too sudden. It has left

"It affected me that way the first
visit. I could not convince myself of
the true nature of thr place; if
seemed—well, altogether too respect
able. I always associated the under
world with roughness and poverty, po
lice surveillance, and all that. But
look out there; It Is like a big hotel
dining-room after the play. Those
women—some of them, at-Jeast—are,
really elegantly dressed, and in exeelf
lent taste, (inij. there is no more noise;
no more coarseness, than I have wit\
nessed at the Waldorf. The men are
not bad-looking, either, do you think?”
"Well, there are all grades here,
now that I look' about; yet, as you
say. the average is not had. Prob
ably they will grow loader later In the-
eyenlng, when they take the lid off."
"I don’t believe fhey ever do—that

tective who came with us, said this
was really The most dangerous place
In town from the police viewpoint. Its
very surface quiet made.lt a special
menace. .Nothing was ever permitted
to occur here which would give the
department any excuse ^r a raid. r If
there was a fight, or even a murder,
It was hushed up Instantly, and the
victim hidden away, before even the
patrolman ou the block could hear
about It. He mentioned several cases;
and said the waiters were especially
selected to take care of any rough
house."
"PerhapA that la what makes It pop

ar these tables.”
"I begin to comprehend,” I said
jo -iilurly, “why I was received as a
distinguished guest. The 'heudwaltef
must have recognized me as an old
pul—my face Is mg-fortune."
“He may have L-miMaken you for
I'ulY,” she admitted soberly, “but
more* likely It was your tip which
made him so attentive. You are som. j
si lender, Mr. Severn.”
"That depends on who I am with;
this is an unusual occasion."
She did not smile, or look at me,
but leaned slightly forward, drawing
back a fold of the cnrtiiln with* one
hand, so as to gain a wider glimpse
of the Iftrge room without. A mo
ment she remained motionless; then
turned her face sideways toward me
"Waldron Is already here,” she whis-
peged wamlngly. "He is alone at that
second table, against the pillar. Step
around this side and you can see;
the man with gray, bushy hair."
I could not easily have mistaken the
fellow; his ap[>earnnee was too em
phatically that of the Russian Jew of
a certain type to enable him to con
ceal his birthright. His bar* was to
ward us. yet as he occasionally cast
his eyes about over the faces of those
around him, I had a glimpse of a
beaked nose, and a sallow, dull com
plexion, which seemed to blend natu
rally Into a scraggllng heard of no
perceptible color. His hair though
was Iron-gray, apparently uncut for
weeks, and thrust hack from an un
usually high forehead, so as to give
the man a ruffled, unkempt appear

with broad shoulders and large hands,
thickly covered with hair.
1 moved hack around the table- as
Francois appeared, and resumed my
seat, keeping silent until the waiter
again vanished, and left us alone.
' “And now that you have located the
fellow," 1 a*ked curiously, "what do
you pro|M>so doing—go out and talk
m-lth him?"
Sh* shook her head.
“I have reason to helleve he expe<Y*
to meet some one here." she ex
plained. "I do not know who; that
Is one thing I desire to find out. From
mhat you hare told me tonight I rather
think now It may he Harris."
•To dlvrle up?"
*To talk It over, at least; they’d
hardly bring the stuff In here. Prob
ably hy this time that Is safely
I planted."
Francois came hack, and we devoted
ourselves to the meat, although I could
observe her glancing constantly
through the opening In the curtains to
! make sure of her man. Finally
Francois disappeared m-lth the rem
nants. while me awaited the serving
of dessert. From my seat I could see
nothing of the Itnssian.
"No one arrived yet?" I inquired.
‘The Jew still there?"
“He remains atone eating. Ah! my
guess was right—Isn’t that Harris,
