Woodhouse rose from a stoop- ing position at the telephone and faced them. To the general, whose sharp scrutiny stabbed like thin knives, he made plausible explanation. The beg- gar who lost his bag wanted a com- plete identification of it--had run it down at Algeciras. "I understand," Crandall grunted. When the cigars were lit Genperal Crandall excused himself for a min- ute, sat at his desk and hurriedly scratched a note. Summoning Jaimihr, he ordered that the note be dispatched by orderly direct to Major Bishop and given to no other hands. Woodhouse, who overheard his superior officer's command, was filled with vagué ap- prehension. What Mrs. Sherman had' said at table--this hurried note to Bish- 0p; there was but oue iaterpretation to give to the affair--Crandall's suspi cions were all alive again. Yet at 8:30---at the Hotel Splendide. But when Crandall came back te join the drecle of smokers he was all genlality, The women came in by way of Jane Gerson's room; they*had been taking a farewell peek at her dazzling stock of gowns, they said, before they were packed for the steamer, "There was one or two I just had to see again," Mrs, Sherman explained for the benefit of all, "before I said goodby to them." "Well, don't get into trouble with the minister, mother," Henry J. warned. "Some of the French gowns I've seem on this trip certainly would stir things up in Kewanee." Jaimibr served the coffee. Wood- house tried to maneuver Jane into & tete-a-tete In an avgle of the massive fireplace, but she outgeneraled him, and the observant Mrs, Sherman cor vered him iuexorably, "Tell me, Captain Woodhouse," she began in her friendly toues, "you said awhile ago the general might wistake you for a spy. Dou't you have a great deal of trouble with spies in your army in wartime? Everybody took us for spies in Germany, and in France they thouglit poor Henry was carrying bombs to blow up the Eiffel tower." "Perhaps I can answer that question better than Captain Woodhouse," the general put fn, rising and striding over to where Mrs. Sherman kept the cap taln prisoner. "Captain Woodhouse, you see, would not be so lkely to come fn touch with those troublesome per sons as one In command of a post, like myself." The most delicate irony barb. ed this speech, lost to all but the one for whom it was meant. "Oh, 1 know I'm golog to hear some thing very exciting!™ Mrs, Sherman chortied. "Kitty, you'd better Lian up Willy Kimball for awhile and come over here. You can Improve your mind better listening to the general" . Crandall soon was the center of a group. 'He began, with sober direct ness: "Well, in the matter of spies in war. time, Mrs. Sherman, one is struck by the fact of their resemblance to the plague--you never can tell when they're going to get you or whence they came, Now, here on the Rock I: have reason to believe we have oue or more sples busy this minute" Jane Gerson, sitting where the light smote her face, drew back into the shadow with a swift movement of pro tectiveness. Woodhouse, who balanced a dainty Satsuiiia coffee cup on his knee, kept his eyes on bis superiors face with a midly interested alr. "In fact," Crandall continued evealy, "1 shouldn't be surprised If use, pos emhly two, sples sheuld be arrested te fore the night is over. And Lhe poles about this that will interest you ladies is that one of these, the vue whuse or der for arrest 1 have already given, is a wowman-a very clever and pretty woman, | may add te wake the story more interesting."

"And the other is an accomplice of bead hers" these should prove the exception, In- terruption came from Jaimihr Khan, who bore a wessage for Consul! Reyn- olds. The fussy little man ripped open the envelope with an air of lmportance. "Ah, listen, folks! Here we have the latest wireless from the Saxonia: 'Will anchor about 2--sall 6. Have all passengers aboard by 5:30." Excited gurgles from the refugees, "That means," Reynolds wound up with a flourish, "everybody at the docks by § o'clock. Be there myself to see you off. Must go mnow-lot of fuss and feathers getting everybody fixed." He paused before Jane, . "You're going bome at last, young lady," be chirpe "That depends entirely on Miss Ger- son herself." It was the general who spoke quietly, but emphatically. Reynolds looked at him, surprised. "Why, 1 understood it was all ar ranged"-- "I repeat, it depends entirely on Miss Gerson." Woodlouse caught the look of fear in Jane's eyes, and, as they fell for the instant on his, something else--appeal. He turned his head quickly. Lady Crandall saved the situation. "Oh, that's just some George's eternal red tape. when the time comes." The consul's departure was the sig- nal for the others. They crowded around Lady Cravdall and ber husband with voluble pralse for the American diner and thanks for the courtesy they had found on the Rock.
