eyes which brought Mr. Grimm to his
feet His hands gripped each other
cruelly; his tone was calm aa always.
"Why did you take the revolver?"
he asked.
Miss Thorne's head dropped for-
ward a little, and she was silent.
"There are only two possibilities, of
course," he went on. “First, that you,
tn spite of your denial, did the shoot-
Ing."
"I did not I? The word* fairly burst
from her tightly closed lipa. *

From the adjoining room there
came a slight noise, a faint breath of
sound; or it might have been only an
echo of silence. Their eyes were fixed
each upon the others unwaveringly,
with not a flicker to indicate that

Miss Thorne returned to her chair and

"It's rather a singular situation.
Isn't it, Mr. Grimm?" she inquired ir-
"I you wre any one else but you!

you and—"
"I you had been any one else but
you I should have placed you under
arrest when I entered the room."
1 Bhe smiled, and inclined her bead.
“I understand," she Mid pleasantly.
"For the reason that you are Mr.
Grimm of the Secret Service I shall
tell you the truth. I did take the re-
volver because I knew who had fired
the shot. Believe me when I tell ypu
that that person did not act with my
knowledge or consent. You do be-
lieve that? You do?" She was plead-
ing, eager to convince him.
After a while Mr. Grimm nodded.
“The revolver la beyond your reach
and shall remain so,” she resumed.
"According to your law* I suppose I
am an accomplice. That is my mis-
fortune. It will in no ehy alter my
determination to keep silent if I am
arrested I can't help it" She studied
his face with hopeful eyes. "Am I to

"Where la the paper that was taken
from Senor Alvares immediately after
he wm shotr" Mr. Grimm queried.
“I don't know," she replied frankly.
"As I understand it, then, the mo-
tive for the shooting was to obtain
possession of that paper? For your
government?"
“The individual who shot Senor Al-
vares did obtain the paper, yes. And
now, please, am I to be arrested r
"And just what was the purpose,
may I inquire, of the message you tel-
egraphed with your fan in the ball-
room?"
"You read thatr exclaimed Miss
Thorne in mock astonishment “You

“And the man who read that mes-

"That brings ws to another ques-
~ ton," Mr. Grimm continued mereiless-
For a long tim* Mr. Grimm stood
staring at her, staring, etaring. She,
too, rose, and faced him quietly.
"Am I to be arrested ?" she asked
again.
"Why do you make me do itT" he
demanded.
"That is my affair."^
Mr. Grimm laid a hand upon her
arm, a hand that had never known
nervousness, A moment longer he
stared, and then:.
"Madam, you are my prisoner for
the attempted murder of Senor Al-
vares!”
The rings on the portiere* behind
him clicked sharply, and the draperies
parted. Mr. Grimm stood motionless,
with his hand on Miss Thorne’s arm.
"You were Inquiring a moment ago
for a revolver," came in a man’s voice.
"Here It is!”
Mr. Grimm found himself inspecting
the weapon from the .barrel end. Aft-
er a moment his glance shifted to the
biasing eyes of the man who held it—
a young man, rather slight, with clean-
cut, aristocratic features, and of the
pronounced Italian type.
"My God!” The word* came from
Miu Thorne’s lipa almost in a scream.

"I shall ask you, please, to free Miu

ing and able to defend myself. Miu

and he offered a sealed -envelope. “I

After a moment Mr. Grimm’s hand
fell away from Miu Thorne’s arm,
and he regarded the new-comer with
an interest In which admiration, even,
played a part i
"Your name?” he asked finally.
"Pietro Perozinni," was the ready
reply. "As I say, I accept all respon-
sibility."
A few minutes later Mr. Grimm and
his prisoner passed out of the legation
side by side, and strolled down the
street together, in amicable conversa-
tion. Half an hour later Senor Al-
varez identified Pietro Petroztnnl as
the man who shot him; and the maid
servant expressed a belief that he was

vares, do you know who did?"
There wm another long, pause.
“I want' to believe you, Miss
Thorne," he supplemented.
She turned quickly with something
of defiance in her attittde.
“Ym, I know,” she said slowly. "It

“I won't tell you."
Mr. Grimm leaned forward in his
chair, and spoke earnestly.
"Understand, please, that by that
answer you assume equal guilt with
the person who actually did the
shooting” he explained. "If you ad-
here to it, you compel me to regard
you m an accomplice." His question-
ing took a different line. "Will you er
plain how the revolver came Into your
possessiom?"
"Oh, I—I picked it up in the hall-
way there," she replied vaguely.

m she stepped from the automoblle in
front of the Venezuelan legation, and
ran lightly up the steps. A liveried
servant opened the door.
"A gentleman is waiting for you,

Miss Thorne passed along the hall-

rear, pushed aside the portieres, and
entered.

ciously and motioned him to a seat.
"This is quite a different meeting
from the one Senorita Rodrigues had
planned, isn’t it?” she asked.
There wm a taunting curve on her
scarlet lipa; the shadow passed from
her eyes; her slim, white hands lay
, Adly in her lap. Mr. Grimm regarded
her reflecttvely. There wm a determ-
ination of-eteel back of this charming
exterior; there was an Indomitable
vrtll, a keen brain, and all of a wom-
en’s intuition to reckon with. She
was silent, with a questioning upward
slant of her arched brows.
“I am not mistaken in assuming that
you are a secret agent of the Italian
government, am I?” be queried finally.
'W she responded readily.
"In that event I may speak with per-
fect frankness?" he went on. “It
would be M useless m it would be
absurd to approach the matter in any
other manner?" It wm a question.
Miss Thorne wm still smiling, but
again the vague, indefinable shadow,
momentarily lifted, darkened her eyea
“You may be frank, of course, ” she
aaid pleasantly. "Please go on.”

Grimm told her.

the question without change of coun-

her breath. It might have been a sigh
of relief.
- "Why do you come to me with such
a query?" the asked in-turn. '
“I beg your pardon,” interposed Mr.
Grimm, steadily. "Did you, or Bld you
not, shoot him?"
"No, of course I didn’t shoot him,”
was the reply. If there was any emo-
tion in the tone it wm merely impa-
tience. “Why do you come to mer
she repeated.
"Why do I come to you? Mr. Grimm
echoed the question, while his listless
eyes rested on her face. "I will be
absolutely frank, ae I feel sure you
would be under the setae cireum-
stances." He paused a moment; she
nodded. "Woll, immediately after the
shooting you ran along the hallway
with a revolver in your hand; you ran
down the steps Into the kitchen, and
out through the back door, where you
entered an automobile. That is not
conjecture; it is susceptible of proof
by eye witnesses."
Mise Thorne rose suddenly with a
queer, helplee* little geeture of her
arms, and walked to the window. She
