Now Read Today's Installment of This Intriguing Oppenheim Story Miss Brown 'presented herself in fue course on the following morn- Ing at the offices of the Central Bank. She was ushered at once in- \o the private room, where the nanager welcomed her with an air »f some relief, took a paper from hs desk and passed ¥ across to her. 'fs that your signature, Brown?" he asked. She read the few lines written on s plain sheet of paper dated from Shepherd's Market: Kindly hand bearer the packet deposited with you on November 31, EDITH BROWN, She shook her head. "A wonderful imitation," 'he ad- mitted, "but I néver wrots it, Don't tell me," she cried with sudden ter- ror, "that you have parted with the packet." The manager hastened to reassure her. "We compared the signature with yoyr own," he said, "apd we failed to ind the slightest divergence any- where. Fortunately, however, from voyt point of view, your instrue- tions were definite mot to hand the padket over to any ome, whether they presented an order or not. We kept the order and asked the bearer '0 eall again in an hour. This was vesterday, Naturally he never re- turned." Miss Brown drew a little sigh of relief, The manager coughed. "We always endeavcr," lhe said "te carry out our clierts' instrue- ions to the letter. I asked you te call this morning, however, not only to mention this occurrence, but to suggest to you that perhaps it would be as well for you to withdraw your and place it, say, in the Chancery Lane Safe Deposit Vaults, or with a bank with vaulis some- where in the heart of the city." "Don't you want to keep it any lopger?" Miss Brown asled, a little f Hy. ~ "Phe manager pressed the tips of rs together. \ "The last thing in the world we desire," he assured his visiter, "is to seem disobliging. We welcome clients.) We welcome business of every sort, and we are always ready to be of any assistanc: te our cus- tomers; but this packet of -ours-- you wouldn't care to treit me with confidehce, I suppose, and tell me what it contains?" "I am not im a positicn to do tL" diamine "Just so. Well, ag I was explain- ing, it'seems to me, if you don't mind my saying so, rather a trouble- some ppssession. Since we had it my atténtion has been called on & great many occasions to the mum- ber of suspicious-looking eople about the place.

He presented a plan for an Miss With detailed instructions and | =~ enlargement of the vaults, which we have been contemplating for some time, at such ridiculously low price that my deputy here was on the point of allowing him to go down and take some measurements, when fortunately I returned, The care of your packet, it you will for. give my saying so, Miss Brown, is getting just a little on our nerves, and we would rather you rémove "ne. Miss Brown looked, as she felt, both perplexed and anxious. "Don't you see." she pointed out, "that probably that's cxactly what these people hava been afte to make you uneasy and to ge you to ask me to remove the packe:. 1 very néarly had it taken from me in Shepherd's Market when 1 brought it here, and T only just slipped by a man who chased me in a taxicab to the very dor, Now I shall have to go through all that again." "We will endeavor to spare you any anxiety of that sort," the man- aged promised. "Give ma the slight- est intimation even of the nature of the contents of your parcel and we will arrange for an escort of police when you eome to fetch it. That would do away with any shadow of risk." Miss Brown reflected. "Will you give me a few days, please, to think matters over'" she begged. "Certainly," he acquiesced. "We- 11 let the matter stand over until, say, next Thursday, I'm sorry to have seemed disobliging, especially to a client recommended by the late Colonel Dessiter, but I have the interests of the bank to consider." Miss Brown took her leave a little depressed. For the first time it was necessary for her to make plans for herself, and the respon- sibility appalled her. Sha did not forget, however, as usual to look around and take note of any one who might ba following her. There as a rule, shut mysélt up for a fort. night. T am afraid of loging the inner sense of what TI must help my musicians to interpret, It is ex- taordinary how many difficulties a werk of one's own composition pre- sents it suddenly confronted with it when one's mind has been traveling in other directions." . "I know a modest authoress," the Princess remarked, as she wav- ed them to their places at the table, "who often forgets her own plots." "Your art, dear Princess." \koff observed, "mevertheléss livés nearer to you than mine.

She met his direct gaze as she hesitated npon the pavement, and in her somewhat disturbed state of mind she com- mitted what was for her a fonlish action, She walked straight up to him, "Will you tell me, please," she begged, "why you are continually following me about? Who employs you to do it? What do you want from me?" The stranger raised his hat, "My dear young lady," he protest. ed, "I can assure you that you are mistaken." "I Am not mistaken, 2nd you know that I am not," sha replied angrily. "I get tired of it. It is so stupid, If you follow me any more I shall appeal to the police." The man smiled. He was a stolid. looking person who might very well have been a member of thé force himself in plain clothes, His voice, however, notwithstanding Lis slight note of mockery, civil, "Madam," he warped her, "you will permit me to remind you that it there is any question of police in the matter it is tha young iady who addresses a man without an introduction who usually finds her- self in trouble, I shoald be carefn! to take the initiative, and I may add that the magistrates are very severe on such cases." ss Brown turned away with flaming cheeks. She entered a taxi and drove back to Shepherd's Mar- ket for Frances. They took the taxi on to the Ritz and made their way down to Chelsea by omnibus. Soon they were driven inside by the rain and Miss Brown !ooked dis- consolately out of the streaming windows, "What a filthy morning' she ex- claimed with a little sigh. The Princess had bsen as good as her word, She welcomed them upon their arrival in a small, strange-looking room, whose hang- ings and walls were of black and white after the passiag futurist style, the austerity of which, how- ever, was toned down by the mass- es of flowers which seemed crowd- ed into every corner, Ths remain- ing guest had already arrived, a thin-faced, nervous man, with a black beard, masses of black hair and eager searching eyes. The Princess introduced him as Mr. Serge Malakoff, "Mr. Malakoff, as I daresay yon girls know, is living in the south of France," she observed. "He has come over to conduct his own opera at Covent Garden mext week." "I had, too, amother object J making my visit to England," he plained to Edith. "I was a great friend of a very distingu'sied Eng- lishman, Colonel Dessiter. I arriv- ed here, alas, only two days after his death." "That was very sad," Miss Brown murmured, with a little sinking of the heart as she realized that once more she must bg upon her ghard. "You mean that his death was sad," Malakoff continued. "Jt was worse than that--it was a tragedy. Dessiter was a great man --mistak- en sometimes in his outlook as men of genius often are, but lion-héart- ed, a man of huge vision. I shall never cease to regret that I did not see him again alive--for many rea- sons." Cocktails were brought In and ihe subject, to Misg Brown's relief, was temporarily dropped. They spoke of the party of the night before. Mala-- koff explained his absence by telling them that while in London he lived almost the life of a rec'use except for a little occasional intercourse with one or two English musicians. "Before the production of a2 new work," he confided. as they made their way to the dining room, "I, poits. He was frankly, almost childishly, aware of them. ing to Miss Brown abruptly, when servants had léft the room, "I will come to the meeting. I do not aécopt invitations te lunch, as the Princess knows very well, T came Réra to rtueédt you," "Me?" Miss Brown repeated, with a sinkidg heart, to disclose himaelf. It I had reach- ed here before the déuth of my friend Dessiter, he would, I know, have made me his literary 'execy- tor. He had the same tastes; we -Aetested the same Institutions, He had confidence in my judgment, He realized that sometimes he wag too impetuous; that he would out things down nn paper which must never find their way into print. He disclosed an abuse, Jet us say. People sometimes doubted his facts because of his adjectives." "A very good line," the Princess murmured, "May I use 1£?" Malakoff ignored her. He was en- grossed in what he was saying, His eyes were fxed upon Miss Urown; the little wrinkles in his face ;eem- ed to have become deeper. He was nervously clasping and unclasping his wodderful white bands, with their long, bony finers. "Young lady," he said, "I gather that my friend Deskitér died so un- xpectedly that he had no time to send for me or any of his friends. You yourself know how suddenly things were over." His eyes seemed to be their way into the back of Miss Brown's head. Miss Brown was listening attentively, with a puzzled frown upon her forehead. "Well," he concluded, "this is what I wish to ask you, You have by ehance in your possession Dessit- er's labt messages to the world-- the result of his last exploit and explorations. What are your im- structions from him? What are you to do with them?" "May I, before I answer, ask you something?" Miss Brown begged. He waved his hand in assent, and she continued. "How did you know that I had these notes in my possession?" "From Dessiter's servant, Mer- gen," wag the prompt réply. "Mer- gen is of no consequence. Already I believe he has taken another pesi- tion. What I am suggesting to yon, Miss Brown, is that you tell me what instructions you have with regard to your notes." "I am sorry," Miss Brown re- plied, in a tone as colorless as Ler personality when she wishéq it to seem so, "'but I éannot answer your question, As a matter of faet, I have not yet received my fipal in- structions." "Not tell me?" Malakoff exclaim- ed, with a flash of the eyes. "Bat it is absurd! I was Dessiter's friend and confidant. Now, listep. This 1 demand of you. Before you part with those motes you and I must go through them together, and the sooner the petter. I will point out what it is wise to dele'e That would have been my office if Des- siter had been alive." Miss Brown had never looked so gentle, so almost imsignificent ex- cept for her blue eves. Neverihe- less, there was something curious- 1y definite about the shaxe of Ler head. "What a pity that you arrived in England too late to see Colonel Dés- siter, Mr. Malakoff," she said. "Now of course, what you ask is imposs- ible. I am Only a servant im this matter. I have no latitude. I can- mot depart from my iustructions. Just as they were given to me [ must fulfill them." !

Miss Brown pushed i* back with- out a word. She did not even trouble to speak; her iittle gesture expressed only contempt, "Do I understand that you refuse my request--you know who I am and yet you refuse?" he demanded, striking the table with his fist so that the beautiful glasses rattled and shook' and some of the coffee from his cup 'was spilt upon the exquisite Florentine tablecloth with its inset lace. "Of course I refuse, If vou must put it like that," Miss Brown re- plied. Malakoft's face was livid. The man was beside himsel? with pass- jan, Even the Princess wis alarm- ed.

Then he turnéd away and marched to- ward the door, The Princess rang the bell, Mala. koff slammed the door behind him. Suddenly Frances bégan to laukh. The Princess followed suit, Miss Brown alone sat dumb and motion less, ~ "You mustn't be frightened, child," her hostess enjoined con- solingly.

The Princess became once more the charming and conversational hostess and presently they took their leave after she had made an appointment to pick Frances up at thé Ritz later in the altarnnsor On their way back to Mayfair. the twe girls spoke occasionally of Serge Malakoff, but otherwise remained more silent than usual, It was sn- ly when Frances had packed her bag and was preparing to depart, that ghe alluded even indirectly to the adventure in which her friend had become involved.

Over forty men entered the horse-shoe pitching con- test while pine teams entered the tug o' war and twelve constituted the or- isigal entry in the five man football. e five-a-team football was nar- rowed down te the finals on Satur- day as the result of preliminary games played on the Wednesday, urs- day and Friday previous, at Alex- andra Park. e teams were select- ed by placing every man's name who wished to play into 2 hat from which the teams were chosen by drawing the names at random. At seven o'clock Saturday evening the finals were played and a tgam consisting of T. Smith, H. Boyd, J. Campbell, A. Loben and G. Jenkins defeated by a 3 to 1 Score their op- nts consisting of J. McKenzie, , Luke, F. Sturch, J. Bailey and Ted King. It was an excellent game to watch and probably a better one to play from the payers point of view. H. Gilpin reféréed. By two straight pulls the Body Room retained their tug of wat cham- pionship which they won last year, defeating on Saturday afternoon the paint shop in the final event. The pull was s after the running of the races was withessed by a very large crowd. Both pulls were terrific struggles and resulted in the Paint Shop being to submit to the heavier Body Room team when they were pulled over the line both times. Mile race--C. Barriage, E. Armi- [i it interesting for the body men how- evr. The Body Room's line up was as follows: Andy Walls coach, Normon Hinds, John Cockburn, Ervin Mc- Lean, Tom Sherrard, Hubert Cotting- ham, Bill Duettie, «Gorden Ash and Gordon Gerrad. The Paint Shop team which now receives second prize was as follows: Fred Davis coach, WW. Cummings, A. Harpor, R. Patterson, H. Maynard, R. Dell, J. Crozier, R. Crozier and Joe Boneryk. Andy Leishman was in charge of the contest and acted as judge and starter. Besides the two already mentioned, the following teams c¢n- tered--Pontiac Assembly, Hood and Wheel, Central Receiving, Mill- wrights and Stamping Plant. The first two tcams mentioned were elim- inated in the semi-finals held in the morning and afternoon. As a result of their victory, the Body Room now holds the special shield given for the event, for the sccond year in success sion while the individual members of the tcam are also presented with suitable prizes. Competition was keen and the ex- citement was great in the horse shoe or quoits tournament which was started in the morning at nine o'clock. It was run on an individual and not team basis and several pits were kept busy until early afternoon before J. Lewis was declared the win- ner with D. McRae second and G Mahoney third.
