The day had begun with a frantic rush about London. First to Mrs. Fau-lax In Kenalnfton. We felt rather blue when we toanwd that the ha4 been aiked about Veroni ca'! poteible whereaboute on the telephone from Blaekwater the night before. She did not know where Veronica was, but ahe gave tia the address In Bruges where, the had told the other Inquirer. In formation about Veronica could probably be obtained. Then Dover, the 10 o'clock boat to Ottend, the train to Bruges, and here we were, having tpent our lint hour In the city burin bagi. shirts, collars, razors, toothbruthet and pyjamas. We had bathed ana shared. We had dined. We pro posed to sleep and promised our selves that not the belt efforts of the carillon in the belfry of Bruges ' would disturb us. On the mor- - row Well, on the morrow we would see what the address Somerfleld had obtained from Mrs. Fairfax had to reveal. The Rue de la Crenelle proved to be a quiet street of tall houses with shutters over the windows and tteep-pltched roofs. Number 33 was the end house abutting on one of the canals. We uttered an exclamation at the same moment: on the opposite side of the canal and hanging over it was just such another tourclle as we knew on the riverside at New- place, in Just another such wall. "By Jove I Somerfleld," said L "We're warm. That's Pell's tower In Bruges." But a-surprise awaited us when we had . made the concierge at No. 33 understand that we wanted to see Mademoiselle Vandenessen. We waited, and she brought to us a gray-haired lady In a sober frock and a black hood on her head. "Messieurs?" she said with a lit tle curtsey. "Mademoiselle Vandenessen? I Inquired. "Oh, mais nonr she answered, laughing a little. Then it appeared that the gray-, haired lady had merely come to re connolter on behalf of Mile. Van denessen she Invited us to ascend to a sitting-room where she col lected our names, said something about two excitements In one day, asked us to be seated, and took herself off. "Did you notice, Orenofen? We've got Into a girls' school." I nodded. Then a young woman came into the room and stood hold ing the handle of the door and look ing nervously at us. She was about 10, dressed lh" black, dark-eyedj iresn oi complexion, ana at tne moment breathing rapidly as If in X state of high excitement. "Mademoiselle Vandenessen?" I laid. "Yes." She fpoke In English. "I am Miss Vandenessen. You are Mr. ? "Orenofen. This la Mr. Somer fleld. We have come to ask a ques . tlon about an English friend of yours." She started back as If she would run out of the room. "Oh, but I ... I don't know you," ahe stammered. "We are friends of Miss Sea broke," said I. "Oh Veronica!" The alarm which had come into her eyes departed. She shut the door and took a seat near It. "You are friends of Ve xontca?" ' "You know Mist Seabroke very well, don't you?" I asked. "We want vou to tell us. Miss Vandene.-- sen. whether you know of net pres ent whereabouts." 'X haven't seen Veronica ror snore than a year,", said the. "She's Ultra at Blaekwater." "But Miss BKnrnare nas left tne place, and we are anaious to dis cover where the Is now." ethlni re -aroused Her sus- Dlctoa. 1 cannot teu too. a nave not seen her." "Of course I realist bow strange this visit must seem to you. Miss Vandenessen." said L lamely. And I went on to Implore her to give ut.aome hint tnat might leaa us to Veronica. She tntittea tnat she knew nothing. "You knew at no men inenas Veronica had In Bruges?" said I. "You did not know of a Mr. Pell?' "I never knew anybody of that name." In less than five minutes from the time of our arrival we were out In the Rue de la Crenelle again. We had drawn blank I remarked to Somerfleld as we walked back to the Lion d'Or, our hotel. "I think not." Somerfleld swered. "I think: If we keep an eye on Miss Vandenesfen we shall see things. In the meantime, as treat, we shall lunch on roast veal." Veronica having been at school In the Rue de la Crenelle, and hav ing kept up a correspondence with Miss Vandenessen. one of her teachers, as Mrs. Fairfax had told Somerfleld through the mouth of her maid, there must be means oi discovering the .traces of Pell In that street whether Miss Vandenes fen cared to disclose them or not. We sat In the window of the little room overlooking the square, speculating on the possibility of bribing servants or cajoling the suDerlor of the school Suddenly. Somerfleld grasped my arm and pointed Into the square. "See who that Is?" A man and a woman were cross ing, arms linked, towards the Town Hall, and tnerelore waiting away fro mus. But the woman was turning to look up into the man's face, and talking earnestly. We recognized MUs Vandenessen. They reached the pavement and were lost In the throng about the doors of the great building. Then we saw another man start from our side of the square and walk quickly across. Somerfield's grip on my arm tightened. It was Laxton. He lingered on the pavement In front of the Town Hall. He en tered. In two or three minutes he came out again and stood contem plating the suaroe. Then he walked slowly back and under the windows of the Lion d or we couia see mm no more. Somerfleld and I looked at eacn other In pained astonishment. "Thafs"torn HI" said somerneia Bruges Is no place for us." Clearly not while It contained Laxton with a warrant tor my ar rest In his pocket. And yet I wonder if he could do any thing here?" said I. "I don't know much about the law of extradition. "It's very complicated," said a voice behind us. We leaped round. "How do. Mr. Orenofen? How do. (To be continued) LEAVING FOR COLLEGE Sllverton Miss Ruth Bellrood, older daughter of Mr. anad Mrs. W.
