The commissary assured him that his desires would be respected, and yon afterwards Brett went up- Rtairs with the full determination to secure a long night's sleep, of which he stood much in need. He h;id reached the sitting room reserved fur the use of the party when Talbot and Lord Fairholnie hurvt in excitedly. "\Vc h:iw' seen her!" gasped the, arl. "Seen whom?' 1 demanded the barrister. "Mademoiselle Beaueaire." cried Tallin! : "the woman who accom- panied Dubois in his flight from Ixiii'loii. I recogni/.ed her instant- ly.

He pointed t/o 4. tall, well-dressed female, wrapped up in a fur cloak, and wearing a. large feather hat. Luckily her veil was up, and the electric light fell fully on her as she passed. She was undoubtedly La Belle Chasse- use, and I bet you anything you like she had just eornc\ away from the music-hall where she is per- forming." "Did she see you?'' demanded Brett excitedly. 'Not a bit; she was gazing at the passing tram-cars, and evident- ly on the look out for some par- ticular line.' 1 "What happened next?" demand- ed the barrister. "Where is Mi.ss Talbot r "Kdith has gone after her," said Fairholme. "What !" cried Brett, more start- led than he eared to own. "Yes.'' broke in Talbot eagerly. "She heard my words and instant- ly decided to follow her. She said that the woman knew both"* of us, and might easily detect us, but she. Kdilh. was unknown to her, and would never be suspected. She I simply forced us to come and tell you, and then darted off like a greyhound before we could stop her." Brett forced himself to say calm- ly- "Miss Tulliot has acted quite rightly. \Ve must pimply remain hen- until she returns. There is iM't the slightiv-t ground for alarm. A woman who could act with such ready judgment is well able to take, care of herself. Unless I am much mistaken, we shall sec her -within the l-.-ur." It was well for the jx>ace of mind of the younger men that Sir Hubert l-'it/.jaines had gone to his room mi after the party reached the hotel. Had the irascible baronet known of his niece's mission, no power on earth could have restrain- ed him from setting every police- man in Marseilles on her track forthwith. And ?u they kept their vigil, striv- ing to talk unconcernedly, but watching the clock with feverish impatience until Edith should re- turn. CHAPTER XV. In the suburbs Marseilles is mod- , ern enough, but the chief thorough- ' fare, known to all who read, the famous and ever busy Canncbiere, plunges rapidly downhill until it empties itself on the crowded quays ( that surround the old port. With the newer Marseilles of the Joliette well found in wharfs and 1 warehouses, steam cranes and rail- way lines the town beloved of the Phoenicians has no concern. There is no touch of modern ugliness in ! the tiny maritime refuge, which iSj barely half the size of the Serpen- tine. Lofty, old-fashioned, half- 1 ruined houses throng close to its rugged quays. At night this quarter of the tur- bulent city wears an air of intense mystery. The side streets are nar- row and tortuous. Dark courts and alleys twist in every conceivable di- 1 rection, while the brightness of the; many wine shops facing each other across the tidclcss harbor only serves to enhance tho squalid gloom that forms the most marked char- act-eristic of the buildings cluster- ed behind tliern. Kdith Talbot, intent on the pur- suit of a woman so dramatically bound up with the mystery affect- ing her brother, paid heed to no consideration save the paramount one, that the hurrying figure in front must be kept in sight. Contrary to the opinions express- ed by the two men, Mdlle. Beau- caire did not board a passing tram- car. To Edith's eyes she seemed to be eagerly watching for some person who might pass in one of the small open carriages which in Marseilles take the place of the London hansom. Even as she rap- idly walked down the crowded street mademoiselle closely scru- tinized each vehicle that overtook her, and once, at a busy crossing, she deliberately stopped. Edith, of course, slackened her pace, and simultaneously hecame aware how incongruous was her appearance at [ such an hour in such a thorough fare. Much taller than the average! Frenchwoman, neatly dressed in an English tailor-made costume, with her smart straw hat and well-gloved | hands. Miss Talbot naturally at- trarted the curious gaze of the pas- se rsby. ' Instantly it occurred to her that some disguise was absolutely nec- essary if -she would not court an attention ;fatal to her enterprise. It chancedithat where she stood for a moment a fruit-seller occupied a tiny shop squeezed tightly between r. church and a restaurant. The interior was dark enough, for a couple uf daring naptha lamps were so disixjsed as to cast their flicker- ing 1 brilliancy over the baskets of fruit and vegetables displayed in the window or crowded together on the pavement. The woman inside had a kindly and contented face, cherry ripe in cheek and lips, and from a pair of deep-set blue eyes she looked out quizzically at the hurrying crowd. Assuring herself with one, fleet- ing glance that La Belle Chasseuse I still remained motionless and in- ' tent at the crossing, Kdith darted into the shop. She produced a sov- ereign. "1 have not much French nion- ev." she said hurriedly, "but this is worthy twenty-five francs. Can you let inn have, a large ..lark shawl? I do not care whether or not it is old or worn.

ADDSESS- CANADA CEMENT CO., Ltd. s-o-js NATIONAL BANK BUILDING . MONTREAL MEDICAL PRESS and Experiments with " The results were simply startling. "-Medical The report on the nutritive value of Bo\ril read before the Annual Meeting- of the British Medical Association, is attracting: wide attention in the medical profession. The "British Medical Jour- nal" of September 16 devot- ed some six pages to giving: a detailed account of the re- cent experiments, in which it was shown that in the case of human beings the body-buildiny power of Bov- ril was "even more marked" than hud been previously shown in the experiments with animals. A further ar- ticle has just appeared in the "Medical Times," and that journal points out that the results of these experi- ments "were simply start- ling." - "It was found that in all cases the administration of the ex- tract (Bovril) caused an im- mediate increase of weight." One important point brought out by these experiments is the fact that this increase in weight is in tissue and mus- cle, and not fat, showing: that Bovril must therefore be regarded as a, tnw nutri* ent, and ait essential part of the diet of every man, wo- maii and child.

I should remain out for some few minutes longer, and I do not wish to court observation." Even as she spoko she removed her straw hat and eagerly tore off her gloves. The Frenchwoman saw that one of her own sex, English, and consequently mad, desired to screen her apj>earance from too in- quisitive oyes. It was sufficient for her that there should be a spice of romance, in the request. With one hand she pock- eted the sovereign ; with the other ehe, dived into a recess beneath the counter and produced the very ar- ticle Kdith wanted. "But certainly, mademoiselle," she crie.d. "See. It will cover you to the waist." Kdith advanced another pace i:i- to the darkest corner of the shop, quickly arranged the shawl over her head and shoulders, and hast- ily murmuring her thanks, rushed forth into the street asr.iH. leav- ing Ivit and gloves behind in her h.iste.

But if the Frenchwoman was a good walker, Edith Talbot was a better one, and now that she no longer feared notice for she draped the large shawl as elegantly about her shoulders as any woman in Marseilles she decided to adopt a little strategy. Instead of keeping directly behind mademoiselle, she broke into a run under the sha- dow of the houses. By thus making up ground she approached the nar- rxww street towards which the Frenchwoman was heading almost simultaneously with her quarry, but apparently from an opposite direction. The aspect of tho thor- oughfare through which the two women sped was forbidding in the extreme. The houses were many storeys in height, of disreputable appearance, and so close together on both sides that, were other con- ditions equal, an active man might easily spring from one room into another across the street. There were, of course, many other people in the street besides themselves, else Edith's self-impos- ed piece of espionage would hav been rendered difficult, if not im- possible. (To be continued.)
