CHAPTER XIV—Continued
In the end Tommy cot out of his
difficulty In a way which struck him
as neat. He led Allen across the din
Ing room at luncheon next day and
breught him to the table where the
princess and Janet sat.
“Allow me to Introduce Mr. Allen to
you,“ he said. Then, turning to Allen.
he murmured : "My wife, and my
secretary, Miss Gisborne.”
That left Allen to decide for htm-
■elf which was the wife and which
th« secretary. He was pussled. He
looked at Janet and then at Tommy.
He looked at Calypso, and thought of
his sister and the other unruly maid-
•ns In the canteen. At last he de­
elded In favor of Janet.
"I want to thank you.” he ssi d to
her. “for all your kindness to
Janet took that very well. She had
been kind, after her own fashion, to
•o many different people that she
could not possibly recollect them all.
She inquired graciously for Miss Al­
len. and received an account of ber
marriage to a young officer she had
met at the canteen.
The Introduction passed off surpris­
ingly well; but Tommy was by no
means done with Allen. That
nlng they met again.
"Ever see any of the fellows from
the old regiment nowadays?" said
Allen.
Tommy would have been glad to
know what the old regiment was. He
wished very much that he had thought
of asking Casimir and the king for a
little more Information before he un­
dertook to be Colonel Heard.
"I ran into Simpson the other day.”
■aid Allen.
“You remember Soapy
Simpson «nd the old Frenchwoman in
the rest billet* behind Givenchy.”
"Rather." said Tommy
heartily,
“that's how he got the name Soapy,
wasn’t It?”
“Was Itr he said. "But there
wasn't any soap In that business, was
there?"
“It may have been cheese,” said
Tommy. “One gets confused about
these things."
"Oh," «aid Allen, “you're thinking of
Collin*. They always said It was on
account of that cheese that you rec­
ommended Collins for the D. 3. O.”
"That,” said Tommy, “is a gross
Blander. As a matter of fact, Collins'
recommendation for the D. S. O. went
In before any one heard a word about
the cheese."
He felt that he owed that, much to
Colonel Heard’s reputation. Whatever
Collin* had done about the cheese,
Whether he had eaten It, refrained
from eating it, stolen it, or baited a
Bouse trap with It, no conscientious
■olonel would have recommenced him
1 for a D. 3. O. on that account alone.
“Oddly enough,” said Allen, “I heard
from Collins the other day. I sup-
pose you know he married that little
rod-haired V. A. D. who used to be at
, Wlmereux.”
“I always expected he would,’’ said
Tommy, "though in my opinion she
was a great deal too good for him. I
can't imagine what any girl could see
In Soapy Simpson?”
“It was Collins who married her,
BOt Simpson. Did I say Simpson?"
“Oh, Collins,” said Tommy. “That's
different, of course. What's Collins
doing now?”
"He and she are running a chicken
farm in Monte Carlo.” said Allen,
“making quite a good thing out of It,
I believe.”
After that Tommy escaped and went
to bed. But Allen came at him again
the next morning. He had a passion
for reminiscence, and seemed to have
known every single officer in “the old
regiment” except Colonel Heard hlm-
seif. Young Bright had come to grief
over a dud check which he cashed In
a night club in London. Tommy ex­
pressed great regret for his fate. Poor
Styles was still limping about and
would never get back the use of his
leg. Tommy regretted that. too. After
a while Allen got back t > 'he subject
of his slater, and Mrs. Heard and the
canteen.
I "Sh«’ll be surprised win n I tell her

years.
CHAPTER XV
The princess. Janet Church and
Tommy sat at lunch on the third day
after their arrival In Breslau. Thanks
to the king's Influence with the man
ager of the hotel, they had a very
pleasant table, placeri tn a bow win­
dow from which they had a view of
the town's market place.
drove slowly
A large motor
across the square and pullet! up at
the door of the hotel. The driver was
remarkable. He wore a high cap of
black fur with two long black ribbons
hanging from the back of it, a brown
overcoat, double-breasted and adorned
with great silver buttons. The collar
and cuffs of the coat were of curly-
black fur. Even while he sat at the
steering wheel It could be seen that
he was a very big man. probably tall,
certainly broad and strongly built. A
thick black mustache covered his
mouth.
He had heavy eyebrows
which met across his forehead. His
face was almost mahogany-colored.
Tommy stared at him with Interest
■nd pointed him out to the princess.
Largo Motor Car Drove Slowly
Across the Square and Pulled Up
at the Door of the Hotel.
The moment she saw him she jumped
to her feet and clapped her hands in
excitement and delight.
"It’s Sandor," she said, "Sandor
from the schloss. He has come to
take me home."
Tommy realized that they were en-
terlng a new stage of their adventure,
that the journey into Lystrla was to
begin.
They hurried over luncheon. They
spent half an hour In frenzied pack­
ing. Hotel porters dragged down bags
and rugs. The little party gathered
In the porch of the hotel. But the
start was delayed.
An official In uniform, perhaps a P<>-
llceman, perhaps a military officer, ap-
peered from the room of the hotel
manager; and walked up td Tommy.
He halted, saluted and In a long
speech asked to be allowed to see the
passports of the party. Tommy did
not understund anything the man said
except the word passport. That made
him uneasy. Breslau Is not a frontier
town. The examination of travelers'
passports there Is unusual, and In
most cases unnecessary.
Tommy
turned to Janet.
"Is it our passports he wants?"
Janet, who knew she was traveling
with a stolen passport, became nerv­
ous. She spoke to th« officer bad-tem-
peredly, asking him what right he had
to Inspect their passports. It was the
worst thing she could have done. Her
nervous Irritation aroused the man’s
suspicions. Her question did not
frighten him at all. His uniform gave
him a right to do almost anything he
chose.
"Come on,” said Calypso. "We can’t
stand here all day.”
She seized Janet Church by the
arm and pulled her Into the car. The
officer hesitated and stepped forward
to stop them. He was a shade too
late, but be stood between Tommy
and the car, clearly determined that
he at b ast should not get Into It.
Tommy's mind worked quickly. One
of two things had happened. Perhaps
Colonel Heard had discovered the loss
of bl* passports and set the German
police looking for them. In that case
Tommy saw no hope at all for him­
self and his party. Colonel Heard’s
passports would be recognized at once.
But perhaps It was Prince von Stein
veldt who had set the police In mo­
tion. He might have changed his
mind about leaving Tommy free to go
where he liked. He might not care to
run the risk of allowing the princess
to enter Lystrla. But he would not
know what passports the party held.
It might be possible to persuade this
troublesome officer that he was Col­
onel Heard and that the two ladles
were his wife and secretary.
He took the passports out of his
pockets and handed them over. The
officer scrutinized them carefully. He
appeared to read through all the visas
■nd to examine all the official stamps
At last he fixed his eye« on the pho­
tograph. As a rule, pu»»!»>rt photo­

Mrs. Heard was a plump, good na-
tured lady of about forty-five, with
round cheeks, a double chtn and fuzzy
hair. The officer looked at her photo
and compared It with Janet's lean face
and sinewy neck. Then he tried to
see If It In any way resembled ♦ '«lyp-
so. It did not.
"These are not your passports," he
said.
Tommy win actually uncomfort-
able ; but he was not yet desperate.
The officer was not searching for Col­
onel Heard's passports. He was mere­
ly looking out for suspicious travel­
ers. It was possible that a bold at­
tempt at bluff might cow the man.
"Here,” he said, “I've had abont
enough of this tomfoolery. Hand over
those passports at once and let us get
away out of this."
The man did not understand a word
that was said to him, but he was Im­
pressed by the confidence with which
Tommy spoke, He might possibly
have given back the passports, if the
princess had not tried a plan of her
own for getting away. She leaned
forward and whispered to the driver
of her car.
The man stepped out of the car and
stood, a huge and threatening figure.
In front of the officer. He deliberately
nnbuttoned his long overcoat, flung It
open and displayed a whole row of
weapons tucked Into his belt There
were two large pistols, silver mount­
ed, with very long barrels. They
looked ns If they might be of some
value as antiques. There was also a
heavy modern revolver which was cer­
tainly valuable ns a weapon of of-
fense. There were flve large knives.
two of them straight and pointed like
daggers, the other three curved In a
manner that struck Ti>mtny as horri­
bly murderous. These were evidently
the man’s favorite weapons. His An­
gers closed round the handle of one
of them.
But the police officer was a man of
courage. He had. besides, help at
band. From various parts of the mar­
ket square uniformed men appeared,
all of them with swords, some of them
with revolvers. They ga there-! round
the group In front of the hotel.
The swarthy driver was not at all
dismayed. His heavy eyebrows were
slightly raised. The eyes under them
shone with a joyful anticipation of
battle. He gripped bls revolver with
his left hand. His right hand held
over the curved knife.
Tommy was frightened. A fight In
the streets of Breslau might end in a
victory for the German police, or It
might end—that seemed almost prob-
able—In a victory for the militant
chauffeur. Either way Tommy and
his party would get Into serious trou-
ble.
"Look here, he said to ths officer,
“If you don’t believe we’re the people
we say we are, send In to the hotel
and ask for Mr. Allen. He'll Identify
us."
The officer, who did not understand
a word Tommy said, stared at him
angrily.
"Oh, hang It," said Tommy. "Why.
can't the fool understand plain Eng­
lish? Say It to him,” be turned to
Janet, "In German or some language
he does understand. And at the same
time tell this swashbuckler to stop
fiddling with bls revolver and get back
Into the car.”
— Janet, who was quite as frightened
as Tommy was, began with the orders
to the chauffeur. She gave them In
German, and the men took no notice
of them at all. He understood Ger-
man no better than the officer under-
stood English.
"You tell him,” said Tommy to the
princess.
Calypso spoke to the man In a lan-
guage which sounded as If several
hungry ducks were quacking, all at the
same time. The man replied with a
number of deep bass quacks, which
sounded threatening. Calypso quacked
back at him. The man bowed low to
her, kissed her band, and stepped
back Into the car.
