about It. Even hi the hotefltself some
one was nhvayH on his hccla. The
Absence of nny attempt at concenlmont
convinced him that It was the author
ized pollco who had thus suddenly
vhowed their Interest In hltn. The sus
picion was soon to ho confirmed. The
iimiiaKer called him on the fourtli
morning Into his private otllcc.
"Monsieur will pardon me, I trust,"
lie said, "If I take the liberty of asking
him a question."
"Certainly!" Duucombo answered.
Go ahead!"
"Monsieur is awaro that ho has been
placed under the surveillance of tho
police?"
"The fact," Duncombo said, "has
been borne In upon me during the last
few hours. What of IIV"
The malinger coughed.
"This Is a cosmopolitan hotel, Sir
(Soorge," he said, "and we make no
pretense at ultra exoliiHlvencss, but wo
do not care to see the pollco on the
piemlM'S."
"Neither do I," iJuneombo answered.
"Can you surest how we may got rid
ot themV"
".Monsieur does not quite under
stand," the manager said smoothly.
"Clearly he bus done something to
bring him under the suspicion of the
law. Under these circumstances it
would be more agreeable to the man
agement of the hotel If monsieur
-would depart."
Duncombo did not wish to depart.
The hotel at which Thyllls roynton's
trunks were still awaiting her return
was the hotel at which ho wished to
stay.
"Look here. M. Iluber," he said. "I
give you my word of honor that I have
laoken no law or engaged In any crim
inal action whatever since I came to
Paris. Tills game of having ine watch
ed Is simply a piece of blulV. 1 have
done nothing except make inquiries in
different quarters respecting lime tw.i
young Kugllsli people who are st'.ll
missing. In doing this I seem to h.nv
run up against what Is nothing more
aor less than a disgraceful con p'.rac".
Kvery hand is against me. Instead of
helping me to discover them the police
seem only anxious to cover up the
tracks of those young people."
The manager looked down at his
desk.
"We hotel keepers," he said, "are
rery much in the hands of the pollco.
"We cannot Judge between them nnd
the people whom they treat ns suspect
ed persons. I know very well, Sir
George, that you are a person of re
spectability and character, but If the
police choose to think otherwise I mut
adapt my views to theirs. I am sorry,
tout we must really ask you to leave."
Sir George turned on his heel.
"Very good." he said. "I will go and
' take rooms elsewhere."
He left the hotel and walked toward
the Kit'.. At the corner of the Place
Vendome an automobile was pulled tp
with a Jerk within a few feet of him.
A tired looking boy leaned over weari
ly toward him from tho front seat.
"Sir George," he said, "can you give
me live minutes?"
"With, pleasure," he answered. "I
was going Into the Rltz. Come and
liave something."
"To Maxim's, If you don't mind," tho
Tleomte said. "It will take us only a
moment."
Sir George stepped In. The vlcomte,
iu whose lingers tho wheel seemed
scarcely to rest, so light nnd apparent
ly cnreless was his touch, touched a
lever by his side, released tho clutch
and swung tho great car round "the' cor
ner at a speed which made Duncombo
clutch tho sides. At a pace which
seemed to him most ridiculous they
dashed Into tho Hue do ltlvoll and
with another shnrp turn pulled up be
fore Maxim's. Tho vlcomte rose wlUi
a yawn ns though ho had Just awoko
from a refreshing dream. Ills servant
clipped off his fur coat, and ho de
scended to tho pavement faultlessly
dressed and quite unrullled. The com
missionaire preceded them, hat In hand,
to the door. A couple of waiters ush
ered them to the table which tho
vlcomte Intimated by a gesture.
"I myself," he remarked, drawing off
Ids gloves, "take nothing but absinth.
"What may I have the pleasure of or
dering for you?"
Duncombo ordered a whisky ami
iocla.
"I think," ho said, "there Is ono thing
which I ought to tell you at once. I
am being shadowed by tho police. The
lyan who has Just arrived and who
seems a llltlo breathless Is, I believe,
tho person whose duty It Is to dog my
footsteps In tho daytime."
"What a pity!" the vlcomte mur
mured. "I would at lenst have taken
you u mile or so round tho boulevards
If I had known. Hut wait! You lire
Hure that It Is the pollco by whom you
are being watched?"
"Quite," Duucombc answered. "The
manager of the hotel has spoken to mo
about It. He has asked me, iu fact, to
leave."
"To leavo the hotel?"
"Yes. I was on my way to the Itltz
to secure rooms when I met you."
Tho vlcomte sipped his abalnth
gravely.
"I should not take those rooms," ho
said. "You will In all probability not
occupy them."
"Why not?"
"It has been decided," tho vlcomto
said, "that you are to bo driven out of
Paris. In the end you will have to go.
I think If I were you I would not wait.
The train dc luxo to Calais Is moro
comfortable than a wet bench In the
morgue or a French prison."
"Who has decided this?" Duncombo
asked. "What emperor has signed the
decree of my banishment?"
"There liave been worse served em
perors," the vlcomte remarked, "than
the, shall wo say, person who bids you
go."
"What Is my offense?" Duncombo
asked.
"I know nothing," the vlcomte an
Bwered slowly, pouring himself out
some absinth.
"Who are my Judges, then? What
secret authorities liave I Incensed? I
am an honest man, engaged iu an lion-
est mission. Why should 1 not be al-
lowed to execute It
The vlcomte half closed his eyes.
Duncombe was a little angry. The vl
comte regarded him with reproachful
wonder.
"You ask mo so many questions," he
murmured, "and I tell you that I know
nothing. 1 have asked you to como
here with me because 1 bad just this to
say. l can answer no questions, oner
no explanations. I have no particular
liking for you, but I am mulcted with !
a cursedly .sensitive disposition, and- j
there are things which I find It hard to I
- i
watch witn equanimity. There is a
train for Ihigland at I) o'clock this
evening. Sir George. Take It."
Duncombe rose from his seat.
"I am very much obliged to you." he
said. "I believe that you are giving
me what you think to be good advice.
Whether I can follow it or not Is a dif
ferent matter."
The vlcomte sighed.
"You KuglLshmcn," ho said, "are so
obstinate. It is the anxiety concerning
your friends; I suppose, which keeps
you hereV"
"Yes."
The vlcomte hesitated. ITo looked up
nnd down the room and especially at
"1'ott JlnQllihmcn,u lie said, "arc bo o
btfuatc." the man whom Duncombo had point
ed out to hltn. He had edged nenrer
and nearer till he was almost within
earshot. The vicomte's voice, always
low, became a whisper.
"I can tell you this much, ut any
rate," he said. "Whatever their pres
ent condition may be It Is more likely
to be Improved than mnde worse by
your departure. You nro a well mean
ing person, monsieur, but you do no
body any good here, nnd you risk
more thnn I dare tell you. if you must
go, then!"
The vlcomte turned away to greet a
little party of friends who had Just
entered. Duncombe strolled back to
tho hotel nnd found Spencer wnlklng
rosTlossly' up and down the hall 'waif
lug for him.
"At last!" ho oxclnlmed, with a sigh
of relief. "Como up Into my room,
Spencer. Wo can talk there."
He rang for the lift, and ns they as
cended ho watched the other anxious
ly. Spencer was looking pale and dis
turbed. Ills eyes showed signs of
sleeplessness, and he had not tho nlr
of a mnn who lias good news to Im
part. As soon as they were Inside the
room he locked the door.
"Duncombe," ho Hold, "there Is n
- -
train which leaves Paris forXondon at
4 o'clock. You must cntch It If you
are allowed to. Don't look like that,
man. I tell you you've got to do It.
If you nro In Paris tonight you will bo
In prison."
"For what offense?" Duncombo ask
ed. "For the murder of Mile. Flossie,
They are training tho witnesses now.
Tho whole thing Is ns easy as A B C.
They can prove you so guilty that not
oven your best friend would doubt It.
Tack your clothes, man, or ring for the
valet."
Duncombe hesitated, but he, too, was
pnlc.
"Are yon serious, Spencer?" he asked.
"I am bo serious," Spencer nuswered,
"that unless you obey me I will not
movo another finger In this matter.
You lose nothing by going. All that a
human being can do I will do. But you
lose your life or at any rate your lib
erty If you stay."
Duncombo bowed his head to fate.
"Very well," ho said, "I will go!"
