Mr. Grimm sat silent for a time and fell to twisting the seal ring on his finger. Mr. Campbell turned around and moved a paper weight one inch to the left, where it belonged, while Monsieur Rigoiot, disappointed at their amazing apathy, squirmed uneasily in bis chair. "It would appear, then, Mr. Grimm remarked, musingly, "that after his mysterious disappearance the ambassador has either twice returned to his house at night, or else sent some one here, first to bring the letters to him for signature, and later to get his cigarettes? Certainement, Monsieur I mean, that seems to be true. But where is he? Why should he hot come back? What does it mean? Madame Boissegur is frantic, prostrated! She wanted me to go to the police, but I did not think it wise that it should become public, so I came here. Very well," commented Mr. Grimm. "Let it rest as it is. Meanwhile you may reassure madame. Point out to her that if Monsieur Boissegur sigued the letters Tuesday night he was, at least, alive; and if he came or sent for the cigarettes Wednesday night, he was still alive. I shall call at the embassy this afternoon. No, it isnt advisable to go with you non. Give me your latch-key- ; please. Monsieur Rigolot produced the key and passed it over without a word. And one other thing, Mr. Grimm continued, please collect all the revolvers that may be in the house and take charge of them yourself. If any one, by chance, heard a burglar prowling around there tonight he might shoot, and in that event either kill Monsieur Boissegur or or me! When the secretary had gone Mr. Campbell Idly drummed on his desk as he studied the face of his subordinate. "So much! he commented finally. Its Miss Thorne again, said the young man as if answering a question. "Perhaps these reports I have received today from the Latin capitals may aid you in dispelling that mystery, Campbell suggested, and Mr. Grimm turned them over eagerly. Meanwhile our royal visitor.

You may remember, Monsieur, that s Tuesday was cold, but all his were found in their proper places.

Grimm, after a long pause, "how did it come into your possession? He waited a kittle. "Why didnt Monsieur Rigolot repor this development to me this afternoon when I was here?" "Monsieur Rigolot did not inform you of it because he did not know of It himself, she replied, answering the last question first. "It came into my possession directly from the hands of Madame me.
