"Envoy Exteaordinary"
I ' . - By E. Phillips Oppenheim
, CHAPTER XXV
-Well, difficult or not, It has to be
done," Matresser said sternly, "and
if you feel in the least doubt as to
your instructions, you had better
telephone once more to M17B before
you make any false move which
would mean the removal of two very
able officers from the service. There
is to be nq arrest until Downing
Street permits it, even if you get
confession."
. Marlow, dejected and puzzled,
took his leave. Yates stroked his
chin for several momenta thought
fully., Once he moved towards the
window and looked np at the sky,
then he turned his shaggy bead
towards Matresser.
"Have you received word from
London as to your destination, sir?"
hi asked,
Matresser smiled. '
"For the first time in my life, lit
tle man," he replied, "I am not pro
posing to tell you. I shall be carry
ing the burden of a great many
secrets. s That big man down in the
harbor, if be is here for the purpose
I believe he is, would boil you alive
to find them out.
"He wouldn't succeed."
"Boiling alive Is an unpleasant
death,1 Matresser observed.
"We have aeen worse," Yates re
minded him. -
"One thing more Matresser said
emphatically. .
The little man nodded.
- "I can guess what it is." '
' "Don't let them bully Miss
Etamier."
"It would be easier," Yates sug
gested, "if you were to get her to
tell you why and for whom she
bought that hypodermic syringe."
' Once more the lights were flaming
from behind every window of the
Great House. 'Everyone crowded on
to the terrace or on to the balcony
above, i Out of the clouds had come
- the roar of the engine of a slowly
descending plane; - In the center of
the Park every man upon the place
was engaged in building up with dry
timber, the bonfire which was to
guide the plane down. .
Matresser was standing in the
gunroom doorway. He started at a
soft touch upon his shoulder. '
. It was Elisabeth who stood there,
a transformed Elisabeth in a tai
lored suit and a small felt hat, with
a row of woodcock feathers which
he had himself arranged In the rib
bon. She carried a fur eoatupon
her arm. He looked at her in as
tonishment. ...
"My dear
, She drew him one ens side, w
"Lord Matresser," she begged,
"you must do something for me."
: -Weill".
"This plane is coming for you, of
course. I suppose it means another
of your wild expeditions." -
"Not that I know of," he assured
her. -
She pointed to the pile of gun
eases, the well-filled cartridge mag
azines all standing neatly together.
"What about thosel-
' Matresser contemplated them
calmly. '
"Well, there has been a shooting
expedition talked of," he admitted.
' "I thought I had better get ready."
"The shooting expedition that Sir
Francis, yw Foreign Secretary,
came down to see you about, I sup-
poser she demanded.
"Does that matter I" he asked.
She was silent for a few brief
moments.' '
- ''Tea do not wish to tell me any
thing," the complained. "Ton have
nothin to sav? You were coin to
leave me alone' here where people
are teg-inning; to think Horrible
things about me." - . .

she pleaded.
"Where to?" he asked.
"How do I know where you are
going?" she demanded, stamping
her foot upon the stone floor.
"Wherever it may be wherever I
can escape from tills atmosphere of
doubt and unhappiness. You could
put me down somewhere at one of
the airports. I will be no trouble to
Jrou, I cannot breathe here any
onger. I think that the servants
have heard that 1 am suspected of
having murdered that man. They
know that I went to Norwich that
afternoon. They look at me with
suspicion. . . I wish to leave."
"But my dear," he' remonstrated,
"a word or two from you and every
thing will be put right even without
my help. ' No one could imagine for
a minute that you could possibly
have committed a murder. The
simplest thing to do, of course,
would be to tell us frankly why you
bought that wretched thing."
"That I shall not do."
"You make it a little difficult," he
pointed out, "for those who wish to
help you."
"I cannot help it," she replied.
Elisabeth had drawn as closely to
his side as possible in the gunroom
where au li&rhts bad been extin
guished so that they might watch
the descending plane. Her shiver
ing body waa close to his. For the
first time that they had been to
gether she seemed eager to creep
into his arms. For some reason or
other fear had overtaken her. She
waa terrified by the loneliness which
had accompanied it. Her eyes
pleaded with him. She was trem
bling for just a reassuring touch.
Her Hps would have been unlocked
in a single moment if he had spoken
the word.
Matresser waa looking down at
her perhaps with more kindliness in
his eyes than she had ever seen there
before, yet his mouth was hopelessly
set, the lines In. his face were deep
ened and he shook his head slowly.
"If I leave in that plane." he said.
"I must leave 'alone. There is no
ibawlfle that."
"I would like, then, to leave in my
own car," she announced. '
He passed his arm through hers
and drew her. away through the
great oak portals of the room and
across the courtyard. The bonfire
in the Park was burning brightly
now and the plane was sweeping
around it, slower and slower.
No one noticed.... them as they
passed towards the garage. Every
one was gazing- toward the sky.
' "I had hoped to find you a little
more reasonable." he complained.
' "It is you who aro unreasonable,"
sne declared coldly. "You have
changed. You have adopted an air
of authority. It is admirable in a
way but X do not like to have it ex
ercised against me. I simply asked
tobeyour fellow nassengrer. I should
have been no trouble no responsi
bility. ; II evu had come I should
have met it eagreriy with you."
"You are asking for an impossi
bility," he replied. "Under no con
ditions could I accept anyone as a
fellow passenger on this Journey."

" Onfoot, Elisabeth and Matresser
had reached the garage. A ser

weather reports from' the
winter wheat area sent shorts to
cover today and boosted prices
as much as 4 cents. Closing
ranges were at the day's best
level. y
The upturn here, first of the
week, was aided by a somewhat
stronger Liverpool market. Mod
erate commission house selling
checked the trend at mldsession,
but gains held welll In a light
trade.
Freezing temperatures were re
ported in the domestic wheat
area, which in the southwest
have not been preceded by pro
tective snow. A Kansas City re
port said sub-zero weather was
beaded for that area with low

said wheat, especially that which
is shallow rooted, might be
harmed.

Great House."
Matresser crossed the north end
of the Park with swift footsteps and
stood amid the little crowd which
saw the plane finally come. to a
standstill. The mechanic and pilot,
its sole occupants, unstrapped them
selves and descended. ' The pilot
a tall, fair-haired and blue-eyed
young man stretched himself once,
removed hie helmet and came across
toward the outstanding- figure of the
scattered group. He saluted.
"Yon have come for me7" Matres
ser asked.
We have come," the young- man
answered in correct but rather hesi
tating English, "to be on the spot
when the time comes for you to join
us. We do nothing until you have -
spoken with those who give the di
rections."
"I see," was the somewhat disap
pointed reply.
"We can put your fat aboard, sir.
the young man proposed. "My me
chanic will need a half hour with
the engine. X should introduce my
self. We have no names in this
service. I am ruot Number 17.
Capital I I am Lord Matresser.
Ton will come along to the House
with me. There will be time for a
bath and some dinner, perhaps." .
The pilot shook his head. "My
orders forbid me to leave the plane,"
he regretted. Then he added:
Your message will arrive by a
special line attached to your tele
phone any moment tonight. . . If I
might make the request, sir, you
would do well to be in your house
awaiting it. Aa soon as possible
after its receipt we shall start."
"Within ten minutes after receiv

The master of the House had
rather a bad time of it daring the'
quarter of an hour before dinner.
Even his mother, in whose eyes he
could do no wrong, was a bit severe.
I simply do not understand it.
Ronald," she said. "Miss Stamier,
of whom we were all very fond, was
a delightful member of this house
hold. That she should have left us
like this, with only one pathetic
word of farewell to Ann, is to me
utterly inexplicable. You seem to
have been the only one favored by
her confidence. Surely you can help
us understand what has happened."
"It must have been some sodden
trouble," Ann put in. "Surely you .
could have helped her."
I did what I could." Matresser
assured them. "I wanted her to
stay as badly as any of yon. " I can
assure you that any influence I
might possess waa exerted to keep
her here."
"One feels that she must have
been hurt or frightened in some
way," Andrews, who had been in
vited in to dine, declared. "She gavo
no hope of returning?"
"Not the slightest. I dont even
know where she has gone."
"She went in her own car," Ann
observed. "How did she manage
that?" ,
"Well, t can explain that," Ma
tresser said. "I took the seal off
myself, had Miss Stamier's car
wheeled out and started her off. X
would not be surprised if the police
reported me to the Home Office!"
"I am very glad Indeed," Lady
Matresser approved, "that you were
able to do something, Ronald, to
prove our confidence in her. At the
same time, the situation is most un
pleasant I was very fond of Elisa
beth and the greatest pleasure I had
in life, outside my family, was her
musfe. X have written about her to '
the Austrian Embassy." .
"So have X," Ann told them. -
The doctor coughed. "I hare to
be In London in a few days." he
confided. "Would it.be of any as
sistance If I went, say tomorrow,
and tried to locate her?"
"It could- do no harm,. . Lady
Matresser acquiesced. "You and '
she were very good friends."

Steels, Motor
Shares Climb
Chrysler and Bethlehem
np 2 Points for Top
Gains of Day
NEW YORK, Feb. 8HVLead
ing steel and motor shares en
joyed most of the baying favor
in the stock market today as the
list resumed its laborious recov
ery from the January decline.
General Motors rose 1 to
48 in what brokers said was
mainly a belated response to the
declaration of a 75 cent quar
terly dividend on the stock ear
lier in the week and the prelim
inary 1938 earnings figures, re
vealing a sharp upturn in profits
in the final three months of the
year.
At the same time, traders
seemed Inclined to buy the mo
tors and steels in belief these
key industries soon would feel
a seasonal business lift. Chrys
ler closed at 76, up 2; Beth
lehem Steel 69, also up 2.
and US Steel at 60, up 1.
Activity Comes Late
Most of the activity came
while prices were on the upgrade
and the absence of worthwhile
offerings in the market's easier
moments encouraged many trad
ers to reenter the buying llBts in
the final hour.
The Associated Press compos
ite price of CO stocks closed .5
of a point higher at 50.6.
