Krelt was called at ten o'ch)ck. Aft<'r reinv igorating himself with a bath and a liearty breakfast, lu? una ready to meet Captain Giul- lier, who arri\ed promptly at 11.30. "Come to uiy room," said Brett. "There we will be able to talk with- but interruption." Once ctimfortably seated, Brett returned the conversation where he iad broken it off in the train over- ttight. "You say you know Hussein ul- Uulk," he commenced. "Yes,'' replit-d the King's mos- wngcr, "and what is more, I have discovered liis residence bjiilc wo parted It seems that one of the attaches at the Embassy met him recently and thought it advisable to keej) in toucii with the You.'if; Turkish party, of which Hussein lil- Miilk'is a shining light. >So he asked him where he lived, ant! as the re- Kult 1 have jotted down the address in my iKjte-book." (Jaultier search- e<l through his iriemoraiida, and speedily found what he wanted. "Wait a minute," interrtiptcd Brett. 'I)oes it hajipon to be Xo. II. Biio Barbette I" The barrister had more than olvc Bur)iriscd his companion during the previous niglil, but this time (Jaiil- ticr seemed to he more annoyed than btartled. "If you know all these things," he said stiffly, "I don' I see why yon •liould bother me t<j gel you the information." Brett smiled. "Vou mean," he f^aid, "tliat ITus- bcin ul -Mulk does live at No. 11 J{ue Barbette." "Why. of course he does." was the irritable answer. "That is xery odd." .said the bar- rister. "It was a mere jjuess on my jjart. I assure you." His assurance e\ident'y did not weigh much with Captain (iaultier, who replaced the note-bouk in liis pocket and obviously cu.st about in his mind for a convenient excuse to take hiB departure. Brett knew exactly wliat was troubling him. "I am rjuite in earnest, ' he saxl, "in tellitrg you that I .simply haz- arded a guess at the address. To jiro\e that this is so, I iinrst jilaee you in possession of certain inei- d<;itts which took place after va: l>arted ut the Gare dii Xord." Itapidly but succinctly he told the aniaz^.'d Kings messenger of the <hji.se in the cab across I'aris. aird liow he (lirett) had f<il lowed the l''rencliman who was trackitrg Gaul- tier's movemeirls .so closely. "You will understand," lie con eluded, "that, ill view of my i)re- ••onceived theory, it was not a very far fetched assum|)tion to connect Hussein ul Mulk with the h<iusc in the J{ue Barbette into which your hpy vanished." "Well," gaHped liis aslonishe<l hearer, "I must say. Mr. Brett. that I owe you an apology, but I do not see what reason any <jne can have for shadowing my move- ments." "I regard it as mere chance. 1 imagine that our fellow-passenger in the train caught the name of Hus.sein-ul-Mulk in our conversa- tion and this decided him to sha- dow your movements, by means of the confederate wlio awaited his ar- rival at the station. .\s it happen- ed, they simply hit upon the wrong person. It might have paid them much better to follow me. Tlie out- come of the blunder is that I am in a fair way towards ascertaining all I want to know about them, wherea.s, up to the present, they do not even strspecl nry existence as an active agent in the affair." "Well, now, in what way can I help Vou regarding Hu.ssein-ul- Mulk?" "Can .vou introduce me to him?" "In what cajiacity'l" Brett reflected for a moment be- fore replying. "I might pose as a friend of yours inlorested in Turkish carjiets, or coffee, or cigarettes, but for the ptirjiose of my inquiry it would be well to jump preliminaries at once and make this chance accpiaintance under the guise of a wire jiuUer." ".Ml right," said Gairlticr. "I don't see that it matters much to me, and the letter you have in your possession from the Under-Seerc- tary is .sufficient warrant for me to give you any assistance that lies in nry power." He glanced at his watch. "It is just about time for <lejeuner," h;- continued. "Wliat do vou say it we drive to the Bue Barbette at once'!'' The barrister assented, and they wei'c s<jon crossing I'aris with the superb disregard for otl^er peojile's feelings that characterises the local call driver. "iiy the way," inquired Gairl- ticr, "ha\e yoii learire<l anylhiirg elso siirce your arrival/' "Onl.v this -it was not our friend Talbot who canio here on Tuesday with a hidy.' "Vou are sure ?' "I'ositixe. i h.ive compared the h mtlwriting in the loral register with a letter undoubtedh- written by Mr. Talbot, an<l the two do not agree. The entry of 'Mr. and Mrs. Talhot, London,' in the visitors' hook of the tirand Hotel, was a mere trick inteirdcd to amuse the li^/lico for a few hours uirtil the con- siiir.'itiji s had peif»~cled their scheme for linal iuul complete disappear- ance. "It was a bold move." "Very. Quite in keeping with the rist of the det.iils of an uneomnioti crime." At last the fiacre stopped in front of the house in the Jlirc Barbette which Brett hati alre;uly scilitiirized dirrirrg the laily hours of the morn- ing. "Here wi' are," said Oaultier d(Hjv he encjiintered, and tlie sum mon« appeared to scatter some of the iiihabitants, judging by the rapid ojjoning and closing of doors that i)reeeded the ap]iearaiice of an elderly and solemn-looking Turk, who cautiously demanded their bu- binesH. Gaultier sent in his card, and the servitor locked the door in the faces of the tv.o men while he went to asciTtain his mastHr's orders. "They evidently do not mean to take inairy risks," said the King's messenger in a low voice. The door was re-opened, and the elderly Turk ushered them into a spacious room on the right of the entrance hall, where they were re- ceived by a young nian"-a tall, dig- nified Mohanmiedan, who rose hast- ily from a chair, having .aiiparent- ly abandoned the jxirusai of a ncws- jiaper. Ah, mou brave Gaultier," he smoke into the intervening .space, and thtts helping his hearer to crm- trol J;is emotious, went on â€" "1 do not projKjuc ••asling tii'ie by describing to yon t'^c details of a crime witli which ,rou aro thor- oughly acquainted. Let trie s.ay, v\ a sentence, that my chief, periiap- my only, motive in coming here t*; day is to secure the release of my friend Mr. Talbot from the place where he is at present confined, and at the same time to obtain fr->m you a statement which will satisfaet<'r- ily clear Mr. Talbot in the eyes of bis superiors of all persj'ial com- plicity in the Albert Gate inci- dent." Again there was a breath less silence. Hussein-ul-Mulk had r9ga'ne<l iiis nerve. He was now eonsI(icri;ig how best he could dispose of t'lii Knglishman who knew so much. To purchase his silence was too hope- less, lie must die as speedily and cried, "I am so pleased to sec you. j unostentatiously as pos.sible.

Ho| Brett, in imminent danger of his spoke excellent French, and api>ear- !jf,,, disregarded all semblance of ed to be quite at his case, hat Brett noticed tliat Hussein-ul-Mulk held the. discarded newspaper upside down. He was smoking a cigarette, lightetl the instant before their ap dinger.

This is Mr. Kcg- iuakl Brett, an English barrister, and one who keenly eympathizes with the reform inovemeiit iu Tur- key." "I am delighted to know you, Mr. Brett," said the tiUave Oriental. "It is a greater i)leasurc to me," Brett replied, "to find myself talk- ing to a reformer ho distinguished as you. Your name is well known in England. Indeed, in .some ijuar- ters, it has come to be feared, which in this world is one of the signs of success." Hussein-ul-Mulk was puzzled. but| he remained outwardly unper- turbed. "I was not aware,' he purred, "that my jioor services to nry coun- try were so aiipreciated by my Eng- lish friends." ".\h," taid Brett, with a smile that conveyed much, "a man like you cannot long remaiji hidden. I liave g.jod reasons to know that al the present moment your achieve nients are earnestly attracting tlie attention of the Foreign Office." Hus-eiu-ul-.Mu!k became oven more puzzled. Indeed, ho exhibit- ed soiiu' slight tokens of alarm lest Brett's \eherrieiit admiration should reach the ears of others in the ad- joining room. "Bivilly," he said, "you llatte me. Uill you not try these cigar- ettes .' They are the best ; they are made froiii tnhaceo grown especi- ally for tiie Sultan's household, and it is death lo export them. 1 un- derstand that the cigarette habit has grown very much of recent years in England'" "Yes," haid Brett, "it certainly has de\eloped with amazing rapid- itv. In trade, as in politics, this is an astounding age." Gaultier knew thit there was more behind the apjiareul exchange of c<iinplinirnts than apI)ear^^d on the surface. Having fuUilted bis jiledge to Brett, he said Inirrietlly, "Both of you gentlemen will un- derstinil that 1 cinuot very well take jiart in a luditieal discussion. With your permission, Hussein, [ will iK>w leave my friend villi you for a half hour's chat, as 1 have an appointment at the Cafe Kiclie.'' Alth'PUgh Hussein was profoundly disconeeited by Brett's manner no less than his utler.'uues, he c<'uld not well refuse to accord him a fur- ther audience, so Gaultier i|uitted the apartment and the Englishinan and t'hc Musiiulman wore left face to face. Brett felt that the situation de niaiided a bold game. I'nder Boine circumstances he knew thai to thr.iw away the scabbaixl and dish with naked sword into the fray-was the right policy. "i came to sec you, Hussein-ul- Mulk," he said, speaking <h'liber- ately, "not onl.\* because I ha\e an interest iu the progressive policy voiced by the Y;jiing Turkish party, but on account of matters of per soual interest tv> yoii, and to frieiuls oi mine in Engl.inil.'' The Turk bowed nilelit rei'og.'iilioli i.<i tile barrister's niotues. "i'ou are aware," said Brcll, A young woman from Phila. says : I "For several years I kept in a' rundown, miserable sort of condi- 1 tion, was depressed and apprehen- sive of trouble.
