He stared at It, looked at Tommy, and then begun searching through a pile of documents at the side of his desk. He came »n the one he wanted, opened It out beside Tom my's passport and compared the two. lie took the cigarette out o f his mouth and looked at Tommy with a smile of malicious triumph. He mnde a remark In a tone which was evi dently meant to he Insulting. Then he gave an order to a couple of men In uniform who stood at the door of the room. The men stepped forward, touched Tommy on the arm and mo tioned him to follow. Tommy, puzzled and rather suspi cious, followed the constable Into an Inner office. There he found him self In the presence of another police officer, evidently a man of superior rank, for he was smoking a cigar. The constable made a short report and handed over Tommy's passport. The superior officer stared curiously, then he, too, began I" :- questions, a large number of questions. Tom my coaid neither understand nor answer. All he could do was to point to his paasport. Hut It was evident ly In some Way unsatisfactory.* The oft- ener the police officer looked at It the more In -tenlly he r. peal- d ids questions. A i las', thoroughly dis satisfied both with Tmnmy and the' passport, he rang the office bell sharply. Two minutes later Tommy f<«n,J himself under arrest L e v.a* not actually haudculti ., out it was made quite clear to him that he was un der the charge of two policemen who stood one on each side o f him. The police officer laid bis cigar down carefully and took up a tele phone receiver which stood on his desk. Then followed a long conver sation, or rather a series of conver sations. Tommy, listening and watcb- \ Vi- i t The Superior Officer Stared Curiously. Then He, Too, Began to Ask Ques tions, a Large Number of Questions. ing carefully, realized that the officer was repeating his story several times over, with long pauses between each telllug, during which it seemed to Tommy that he was being switched off from one listener to another. Tom my did not understr.nd a word he said, but he caught his name occa sionally. very badly pronounced. A ft er a while he began to recognize the words "Junger Englander.” Tommy, who was still In quite a friendly mood, turned to oue of the policemen beside him. "It's a pity," he said, “ that he doesn’t try broadcasting. That must be the fifth time he’s told Tils story.” After the police officer had tulked Into Ids telephone for half nn hour, he gave an order to his two men and Tommy was led off. They shut him up in a small inner room and left hint there. Tommy began to feel slightly annoyed, hut was not in the least frightened. It was evident that the hotel clerk had been wrong in saying that the police proceedings are merely fermat. and Janet Church right when site warned him that be was likely to have a great deal of trouble before he got permission to stay in Berlin. When Tommy had been Incarcerat ed for about an hour he wns taken out and put in a taxi. His two guards went with hltu. They were perfectly civil, but they never took their eyes off hint for an Instant. The cab stopped opposite an Im mense, floridly decorated doorway. Tommy was led through It. into what seemed to be a public office. He was conducted along a corridor, taken up nn elevator, led along two other cor ridors ami finally with Immense cer emony, ushered Into n very hnml- somely furnished office. A tall, Herce-looklng man, elderly, grizzled and most Imperfectly shaved, sat at a large table covered with pa pers. He was evidently a person of great Importance and Tommy took a good look at him. His short gray hair stood upright on Ills head like the bristles of a brush. There were large rolls of fat on his neck.

My nose Is of liormal size, my face oval, my eyes of a bluish color— ” “ So?” "Exactly so," said Tommy, and then waited. The German referred to some pa pers which lay before him and then took another look at Tommy's pass im rt. “ Your name,” he said. "Is Murreys, but It It here la the passport not al together rightly spelled." "N-o-r-r-e-y-s," said Tommy. “ Here.” said the German, tapping one of his own papers. " I your name .Vo-r-h-e-y-s spelled find.

The police Auswels per mitting you longer to' remain in Ber lin will not ge-granted be." “ I sup|xise you know," said Tom my, “ that all that rigmarole about plots and monarchies and marquises has nothing whatever to do with me. and nty name la spelled exactly as it Is on my passport.” "The In English so-called Muff do I most perfectly understand.” sold the German. “ Within the borders of the German state may you no longer remain." "That." said Totnjny, "is a bit rongh on me. 1 came over here sim ply to get rid of a lot of your money which I happened to have. I don’t want to say anything insulting to Germany or to hurt your feelings in any way, hut you must know that your money isn't very highly thought of anywhere else in the world. I don't suppose the mbst unsophisticat ed South Sea Islander would give you a coconut for a whole sackful of marks. I f you turu me out of Ger many I don't see bow 1 am to get rid of that money at all." “ In Germany.” said Von Steinveldt, "fo r you to remain is strongly forbid den.” Tommy had begun to feel irritated with the ridiculously pompous old man who sat before him. He hud tried to annoy him by speaking of the worthlessness of German marks. Hut the attempt hud not been a suc cess. He tried again. This time a diffère* t taunt. “ Very well," he said, "If you expel me from Germany, I shall to Strasburg ami make a tour Of Al tace and Lorraine. They're not in Germany any longer. you know." "T o crosa the frontier." suid Von Steinveldt, “ Is w Ithout the police Ausweis entirely* impossible." Tommy thought this over carefully for a minute and then realized the absurdity of the position. “ You say I can't stay In Berlin?" he said. "Anywhere In Germany." said Von Steinveldt, "is for you strongly for bidden." "And at the same time you say I can't go." "T o cross ttie frontier wlthoot the police Ausweis impossible is." "So far as 1 can see." said Tom my, ‘the only thing left for me to do is to fade away gradually like the Cheshire eat in "A lice In Wonder land." and I can’t do that. The only kind of man I ever heard of who could do that Is a Mahatma, with an astral body, and I'tn not one.
