"It must be a little slow up here
after the years you lived in toyn,"
I suggested. "but of course you're .all
old friends."
"Well, yes ; all friends," he acqui
eseed. but with so little enthusinstn
that I looked at 'him quickly. He pre
tended to be absorbed in the flying
landseape at the moment. Flynn, I
noticed, was giving ear to our con
versation from the wheel.
"It was tad, very sad, Mr. Bash
ford passing away so far from home,
sir. It was a great shock. And he
had looked forward for years to a
quiet life abroad."
Antoine's speech was that of , a
well-train'led English upper servant,
and I imagined that in his youth he
had taken sotme Etnglish butler as his
mnodel. lie used to pretetd that he
knew French very inperfect.y, and I
was surprised when he now aildressed
nie quite fliently in that language.
"You htve been with the armnies of
dear France," he retnarked. "The
wV-ar is very (realful. My parents
were of Verdun: it grieves ine to
know of the stitering in the land of
illy people."

It' was wholly possible that a globe
trotting widow would have friends in
inany parts of the world, and I could)
see nothing disturbing In the fact that
inquiries had been aide for her. I
said as much., Antoine's answer was
another shrug and a je'-k of his head
toward Flyn, as though even the erri
ploymnent of an alien tongue might not
conceal our conversation from the big
Irishnian. When we had reachied the
fatti and were running through the
grounds Antoine spoke3 again.
"We thought we would put yor

quickly. "We must stick close to the
