Benning blinked at the amazing query, then smiled back with a shake of his head. There was a young lady in Luxembourg, eh? Benning's mind instantly picked up the Van Hassek purport and he confessed, Yes, Excellency. Her name? Mademoiselle Lucette Ducos. And you promised you would bring her to Mexico City with your first month's pay, Bromhtz? Usually, in such cases, Benning evaded, one attempts to make parting as painless as possible. But someVan Hassek chuckled. times such promises come home to roost, Bromlitz " He pushed his call button and Schroflf came in. Van Hassek grunted instructions. Schroff left the room to return in a moment with a young woman. Ignoring Van Hassek she rushed up to Benning and threw her arms around his neck and kissed him ardently on the mouth. Chere! she exclaimed. "Oh, but Henri, I couldnt wait for you to send for me! My uncle gave me a ticket to Vera Cruz and here I am! Benning coldly received the caress He saw that she was French, undoubtedly the French operative. Lucette Ducos. who had been Bromlitz undoing. She was small, trim, and had a face, but with an in her large blue eyes intelligence that set her apart from the doll variety. A glance gave Benning his appraisal. A girl to turn any mans head, and he understood at once Bromlitz mad infatuation for the girl. He felt a stir of revolt at the thought of an ally from the French secret service, but promptly remembered that he had a role to doll-lik- e play. You shouldnt have come here this way, Lucette," he coolly told her I've a mans role to play here and its no place for a woman."

With Mile. Ducos he had struck a bargain. She was to keep strictly away from headquarters He promised her any pertinent information he picked up and allotted her the task of checking on the air service. Also she was to keep on the alert for any cancellation of military leaves to Mexico City, which would be a significant development. They set up together In an inexpensive suite on Jesus Maria. When they were alone in their apartment, Mile. Ducos attitude was one of a purely professional associate. But when they were together in public during evenings that followed, she kept up the ruse of a romantic attachment. They had gone to the Avenida Hidalgo for dinner one evening when the French girls covert flirtation Italian officer In with a a colonel's uniform brought from Benning a sharp rebuke.
