Instead she left wth D'Arblaye, and Staire followed in a taxi. Feodo: ated outside D"Arblaye's apartment house in a storm, heard a tol shot above the thunder, and soon Cigeta Jushed out, saying she had shot D' blaye.

She had left her handbag at D'Arblaye's.

The rough-looking character was placed in the dock, After the charge had been made and a few questions had been asked, the judge gazed sternly at the man, "Do you meah to tell me that you are a lover of peace?" he said, The prisoner returned a defiant stare. "I certainly do," he replied, "And yet," continued the judge, briskly, "and yet you were seen to purposely drop a brick on top of the constable's head." "That's right. And what's more, my lord, I ain't never seen anyone more peaceful than he was after I'd dropped that brick on his napper!" They Quickly Relieved sald.

What had happened? What in the world eould have happened to make Feodor tele- phone here at that hour and in that voice? What could have gone wrong?

"Very well, dear" she sald, "if you think a walk will do you .good. I will bring the car down to Leonie's! at eleven and meet you there. Don't! get too tired. You have had a bad, night, and there will be rather a strain on you these next few days." Toni nodded, made some half auditable answer and turned away;: the only thing, she felt, was to get' out of doors, but once in the Avenue under the half-bare trees she felt | oppressed bythe unnatural heat. She hailed a taxi, and gave Féodor's address, but half-way to the flat she stopped the man and turned him back, for after all, Feodor al- ways left for the Embassy about a quarter to eleven, and it would be: no good going to his apartment.
