An exploring forefinger in the expased hollow end of the cane en- countered a rolled wisp of paper. Woodhouse pocketed this, substituted in its place a thin clean sheet torn from a cardcase memorandum, then screwed the crook on the stick down on the secret receptacle, By the light of a match he asshired himself the pa- per he had taken from the cane was | what be wanted. "Larceny from 'the person--guilty," he murmured, with a wry smile of dis- taste. 'But gssault--unpremeditated." The conveyance trundled down a long it of stone and stopped by the side of a Black bull spotted with round eyes of light, The driver, scenting a tip, helped Woodhouse lift Capper to the ground and prop bim against a bulkhead. A Ubos'n, summoned froin Le Vendee by $he cabby's shrill whis- tle, heard Woodhouse's explanation with symptaby. : "Occasionally, yes, m'sien; the pas. sengers from Marseilles have these re- grets at parting," he gravely comment- ed, accepting the Yicket. Woodhouse had rummaged from the unconscions man's waliet and a ¢rinkled note from Woodhouse's. Up the gangplank, feet firft, went the new agent of the Wil helmstrasse.

There he turned into a little i French hotel, dituated far from the disordered pulse of the city's heart. A | sort of peusion it was¢, known only to { the occasional discriminating tourist. Maitre: Mouquere was proud of the i anonymity his house preserved and ab- bored poor, driven Cook's slaves as he would a plagne. In his &ap de Li- berte one 'was lost to all the world of | Alexandria. | Thither the captain's baggage had | been sent direét from the steamer. | After a glass with Maitre Mouquere { and a half hour's discussion of the i day's great news Woodhouse pleaded {a touch of the sun and went to his | room. There he remained until the | gold of sunset had faded from the i mosque of Omar's great dome and all | the city from. Pharos and its harbor {ledge of masts to El Meks winked with lights. Then he took carriage to the railroad station and entrained for tamleh. What South Kensington is to London and the Oranges are to New York, Ramleh is to Alexandria---the suburb of homes. There pretty villas lie Mm the lap of the delta's greenery, skirted by canals, cooled by, the winds off Aboukir bay and shaded by great palms---the ore beauty spot in all thi hybrid product ef cast and west that is the present city of Alexandria. Remembering directions he had re- ceived in Berlin, Woodhouse threaded shaded streets until be paused before a stone gateway set in a high wall. On one of the pillars a small brass plate was inset. By the light of a nearby arc Woodheuse read the inscription. on it, "Emil Kech, M. D,, 32 Queen's Terrace" He threw back his shoulders with a sudden gi {which might have been taken for that of a man about to make a plunge, and rang the bell.

The heavy gate closed be hind the visilor. with a sharp snap. One might have said that Dr. Koch lived in pretty secure isolation. Woodhouse was shown into a small room off the main hall, by its furnish. ings and position evidently a waiting room for the doctor's patients. The Numidian Bowed and disappeared. Aloné, Woodhouse rose and strolled aimlessly about the room, flipped the covers of magazines on the table, pick- ed up and; hefted the bronze Buddha on the onyx mantel, noted, with a care: less glance, the position of the two windows in rélation te the entrance door' gud the folding doors, now shut, which doubtless gave 'on the consulta: tion room. As he was regarfiing these doors they rolled back, and a short, thickset man, with a heavy ane of iron "gray hair and black brush of beard, stood between them. He looked at Woodhouse through thick lensed expected to find a friend, Woodhouse passed out returned into the leIngaye to his stare a curl: * Woodhouse turned' P { like mine | have' te intrude'--it Was haf" and "indrade™ as Woodhouse gave these words--*"hecause I coul | not be here during sour office hours.

"But as 1 happened | just to arrive 'today from Marseilles and your name Was strongly recom- mended to me as one to consult in a case such as mine" -- "Where was my name recommended to you and by whom?" Dr. Koch inter- rupted in sudden interest. ; Woodhouse looked 'at him steadily. "In Berlin--and by a friend of yours," he answered. § | "Indeed?" The doctor stepped back | from the doots and motioned his visk tor into the consultation room. "So a friend--a friend in Berlin told you to consult me, eh? Berlin is a ous way from Ramleh, especially in {these times. Greater physicians than 1 live in Berlin. Why"-- ' "My friend in Berlin told me you were "the only physician who could help me in my peculiar trouble." Im- perceptibly the accenting of thg aspir- ates in Woodhpuse's speech grew more marked; bis_foice took on a' throaty | character. "By some specialists my | life even has been set to end in a cer- | tain Year, so sure is fate f6r those af- flictad like myself." "So? What year is if, then, yon die?"

Woodhouse, sitting under the white spray of the shaded incan- descent, 160ked up carelessly to meet the stare. : : "Why, they givé me plenty of time to enjoy myself," he answered, with a light laugh, "They say in 1982" "Nineteen thirty-two!" Dr. Koch stepped lightly to the closed folding doors, trundled them back an inch to assure himself nobody was in the wait. ing room, then closed and locked them. He did similarly by a hidden door on the opposite side of the room which Woodhouse had not seen, After that he pulled a chair close to his visitor and sat down, bis knees almost touch. ing the other's. He spoke very low in German, "If your trouble is so serious that you will die in 1932 I must, of course, examine yoa for--symptoms." For half a mifute the two men look. ed fixedly at each other. Woodhouse's right hand went slowly fo the big green scarab stuck in his cravat. He pulled the pin out, turned it over in his firigers and by pressure cansed the scarab to pop out of the gold backed setting holding it. The bit of green stone lay in the palm of his left hand, its back exposed. In the hollowed back of the beetle was a small squire of paper folded minutely. This Wood- "house removed, unfolded and passed to- the physician. The latter seized it avidly, holding it close to his speecfa- cled eyes and then spreading it against the light as if to fead a secret water. mark. A smile struggled through the Jungie of his beard. He found Wood- house's hand and grasped it warmly. "Your symptom tallies with my diag- 'nosis--1032," he bégan rapidly, "Five days ago we heard froni"the Wilhelm. stragge you would come. We have ex. pected you each day now. Already we have got word through to our friends at Gibraltar of the plan. They are waiting for you." | "Good!" Woodhouse commented, He was busy refolding the thin slip of pa. per that had been his talisman and fit- ting it into the back gf the scarab. "Woodhouse--he is alreAdy at the Ho- tel Khedive; saw his name on the register when I landed from the Castle this morning." Now the captain was talking in familiar German. "Quite 80," Dr. Koch put in. "Wood. biouse came down from Wady Haifa yesterday. Our man up there had ad. vised of the time of his arrival in Alex- andria to the minute. The captain has his ticket for the Princess Mary, which sails for Gibraltar day after tomorrow at dawn." "WHO WILL WIN THIS BATTLE?" Your kidooys arc the fliers of the body.
