That is always XVIII Continued a. re-gn- mm it f5 5 mi OMAHA CONVENTION disagreeable to me, for I am a man of sociable disposition with a very strongly formed habit of conversation. I could not blame Norheys and his wife for deserting us. They were on a honeymoon and it was natural enough that they should shut themselves up together In their own compartment. I did not see them, except at meals In the restaurant car. Troyte and Cable Ignored me. Cable resented my being with the party at all and kept Troyte to himself in another compartment on pretense of talking business. They could not talk business in any useful way because they did not know what had happened In Lystria. All they could do was to speculate, and I might have been useful to them there. In fact, my guess about Emily's curate was the only good guess any of them made. Casimir, Count Istvan, who lives somewhere in that neighborhood, got Into the train at Charlottenberg station, just outside Berlin. King Wladis-law- s joined us at the Friedrlchstrasse" station farther on. There Is not enough room for four people to be comfortable In a wagon-lit'- s compartment, so Cable, who does not care what he spends, engaged an ordinary s compartment farther down the train. There the four, Troyte, Cable, Casimir and the king, settled down. I was not Invited to Join the" party. Neither the king nor Casimir could cross the frontier into Megalia, but they were willing to go as far as Bres-la- u and tell all they knew about what had happened. Unfortunately, they did not know very much. Casimir explained that he had all along believed Tommy to be the Lord Norheys. He had regarded the "Rev-- , erend Thomas A. Norreys' " passport as a clever trick Intended to deceive. Von Steinveldt and the Germans while conveying to him the news that Lord Norlieys had arrived in Berlin. That would have been an ingenious plan, much more ingenious than anything Troyte or Cable had thought of. It did make Casimir certain that Lord Norheys had arrived. It would, apparently, i have deceived Von Steinveldt and his police if their suspicions had not been awakened by what hao-- . pened'in the Mascotte the niglrt afT& Von Steinveldt Tommy's arrival. heard all about that from one of his spy waiters. The king also believed that Tommy was Lord Norheys ; but he understood the passport differently. His view was that Norheys pretended to be a curate in order to clear himself of the charge of being entangled with Miss Temple. Here he expressed the greatest desire to see Viola, and it was with the utmost difficulty that Troyte kept him from wandering along the train to look for Norheys' compartment. He said that he had particularly admired the way In which Lord Norheys had kept up his pretense, even acting the part of a curate when there was no real need for It. Then came the question of who Itev. Thomas A. Norreys really was. The king did not know. Nor did Casimir. Casimir could tell exactly what was on the passport, and the king repeated all that Tommy had said about himself. But that got them no further. They had to send for me. Cable was unwilling to do so; but Troyte insisted. Cable remembered that I had said something about a curate. When I heard the story told by the king and Casimir, I saw at once that my guess was very likely to be right. "My sister Emily lost a curate early last week," I said. "He was last heard of at the Adlon hotel In Berlin, where he stayed two nights and then disappeared. The dates " We discussed the dates and they fitted In with each other very well. I could not help looking at Cable with an expression of satisfaction. The man had been abominably rude to me since we left London and had snubbed me pitilessly. 1 did not actually say "I told you so." But I looked as If I thought it. "Anyhow," said Cable, "no curate would dare to marry the princess." Like many successful business men. Cable underestimates the courage and ability of the clergy. In nil probability he never speaks to a clergyman at all ar.d only sees one once In two years or so clad in a surplice, at some wedding or funeral which he's obliged A curate In a surplice to attend. looks Innocent and mild, not at all the kind of a man who would seize p vacant European throne. The satne curate on the golf links Is a very different person. Besides, Tommy was an exceptional curate. I told them what Emily and Canon Pyke had said about him. h first-clas- Discover Communism Is T aught Jn Schooh of a com- munistic workers and missionaries are being conducted in this country, according to announcement made recently by Frank Clay Cross, national director of the Americanism commission of the American Legion.
