She appeared puzzled, doubtful, yet to my surprise still held the door tight ly closed, her eyes searching my face. "Who Is the man you know your particular friend?" I hesitated an Instant, the name escaping me. Horner." "Oh, Indeed; you were not very prompt to answer."

I Imagined I could understand something of what Harris was endeavoring to aerbmplish In thla delay, tliln getting the entire aum transferred Into currency In private hands. It was one more step In his Intricate scheme of robbery, but so cautiously concealed aa to aronse no suspicion. What else had he done to this end already? To achieve delay, and thus gain opportunity, had he Intercepted, or even changed, the code message aent by Alva to Washington? All this was possible enough, yet It was evident that the woman accepted the explanation as satisfactory. I do not know how true all this Is." she said at last, slowly. "I was told the money was already being used. I do not believe there Is any necessity of any further Indorsement, ns Senor Alva is working under direct commission from the Junta, with full authority to act. However, I will verify this tomorrow. I am going to retire now. senorn, and leave you alone to discuss the matters I have presented. Above all It Is necessary that I should know at once who you select for the Important work, and when we may expect results. This Information I must positively take back with me." "When do you return?" On the midnight train. I three hours yet." CHAPTER V. A Strange Appointment I must have failed to grasp the full meaning of what she said, or else ft never occurred to me that her retirement would be made through this particular door. At least she had pushed It wide open before I realized the necessity of retreat, and I was hemmed In behind Its barrier, fortunately securely hidden from the eyes of those in the larger apartment. Some one Alva, no doubt, from his words and voice was beside her as she emerged, and. Indeed, It might have been his hacd that swung the door hack against me. I stood there startled, unable to move, afraid that my very breathing might he overheard. You leave at midnight, you say, wenorlta," he protested In Spanish; "but surely you Intend to remain at present?" "Until you reach some final decision yes; that Is m.v mission."

"You did Interest me. You didnt appear the sort to he making a rendezvous out of a saloon, however it might b4. The proprietor even volunteered the Information that you were his niece.

I looked lit her for a moment before I answered, unuble to frame my words to nny satisfaction, Whnt did she mean? What exactly was she driving at? Iler whole manner puzzled me exceedingly. Was she playing me for a fool? Was she attempting to lend me on for some secret purpose of tier own? Did she believe my explanation? and, if not, why did she fall to throw open that door, and denounce me at once as a spy? There, In that soft light, she appeared more attractive than ever, and so peculiatly womanly as to seem utterly out of place In this scene of plot and crime. It was a young face, bright, anlmnted, which ironted me, the dark eyes smiling and-J Do not mistake the number. Ask for Miss Conrad. Now go hack thcra and wait for Homer. Quick they are coming. I plunged hastily Into the pnssaga and groped nty way back between th narrow walls to the secluded room la the rear. I was too confused, too startled, to even think clearly. My conception of this woman, her iinture and her purpose, had been changed s dozen times during this brief conversation. Even now I was utterly In the dark. Did the woman know me? or suspect the reason of my presence? That was manifestly Impossible. She was utterly strange to me, and she waa not one to be easily forgotten.
