Bon of an old friend, that Lord
Troyta. head of the British for-
eign office. Norhaya' uncle, has a
acharna to make him (Norheys)
king of Lystrla. in central Eu­
ropa. through marriage to Ca­

country.
A financier. Procopius

English king on the throne the
output could bo secured for Eng­
land.

the doorway. Casimir, bowing very
politely, tried to pass him. Tommy
suddenly recollected that all his
money, his piles of German marks.
I lay on the table In the middle of the
room. A horrible explanation of Cas­
imir's presence suggested itself. The
man had made no mistake, lie had

Tommy winked knowingly at Ca»
