.~ Where Lovely Woman Takes | His Attention true Latin, Scandinavian or Slay. Gregory glanced again at the girl || who had just come in, then lowered his eyes to the man she was accom- panying, a strange little figure, now seated at the table. He was mot e dwarf; yet was curiously ill-proportioned. His body was frail and childlike, but his head massive and powerful. From it a shock of silver hair swept back, giving him a benign and pricstlike appearance, but his rattrap mouth and curiously pale blue eyes belied any suggestion of mildness. \Catching sight of him had. firsté------------- Gregory Sallust's attention 3.5.x: girl, for Gregory knew him -which not surprising, since he knew most people of impor- tance. From his 'ublic school Gregory had gone straight into the war but a. nasty head wound had put an end to his trench service and he had been seconded to intelligence. At the time of the currency col- in Central Europe he had the service to undertake cer- .confidential work for English ment his private income of a few hundreds a year. That had led, a year or two later, to his being sent out to the far east as war ient to one of the big London dailies. On his return he had remained unem- ployed except for occasional lit- erary work until an old friend recommengled him, as highly suit- ed to undertake a special investi- gation needing secrecy and brains, to a group of men who controlled one of Britain's greatest commer- ad never heard the word \mistress\ breathed in connection with his name. A little frown of annoyance wrinkled Gregory's forehead. catching at the scar which lifted his left eyebrow,. What a pity, he t, that he was returning to England the following day. If only he had seen this beautiful and mysterious girl soon after his arrival at Deauville! have been fun to have tried to meet her. \Rien ne va plus\. came the level voice of the croupier, and Gregory realized too late that he had failed to place his stake. \Really he thought, \I am be- having like an idiot, and if I am not careful I shall be thinking of that lovely face of hers for weeks. I have known this sort of thing happen to me before, so I had bet- ter go home to bed before I get her too much on my mind.\ He pushed the cards away from him, and, collecting his chips, stood up. Then, just as he left the table, a simple action caught his eye while the players sat tense LE&E! peak to her, . t suprised that no car was waiting to pick her up, as she walked fringed the plage. He gave her about five minutes' start and then boarded his taxi, giving the man precise instructions in fluent French. The taxi slid along the asphalt road, easing down to a crawl when the lady once more came in sight. A moment later she turned round the far corner of the Normandie. The taxi speeded up and came level with the corner. Gregory peered out. Opposite the Deau- ville branch of the famous jewel- lers, Van Cleffe & Appel, situated in the side of the Normandie ho- tel, stood a large limousine.

It surprised him a' little that such a gloriously lovely lady should consent to meet her lover in such a sordid joint, but -that was her affair, He was just about to turn away when a sharp cry came, muffled a little by the heavy curtains be- tween which chinks of lights aj peared, from the room above Cg; cafe. A sudden grin spread over Gregory's lean face.
