A footstep from behind caused her to sturt. The vintner took her roughly iu his arms and kissed her Many times. "Gretchen?” She did uot speak. "Wbut ia It?’ "You oak?” “Was It a crime, then, to Jump out of the window?” He luughed. Gretchen's face grew sterner. "Were you afraid?" “For a moment. 1 have never run afoul the police. 1 thought perhaps we were ull to be arrested.” "Perhaps you did not care to have the jiollce ask you questions?” “What is all this about?” He pulled her toward him so that be could look into her eyes. "What is the matter? ▲newer.” "Are you not a spy from Jugend­ heit?" thinly. He flung aside her hand. "So! The flrat doubt that enters your ear finds harbor there. A spy from Jugendheit! That is a police suggestion, und you believed it." "Do you deny it?” “Yes.” proudly, snatching his bat from his head and throwing it vlo- lently at her feet—"yes. I deny It I atn not a spy from auy country.” “I have asked you many questions,” she replied, "but you ere always laugh­ ing It 1 b a pleasant way to avoid air s waring.” The vintner suw himself at bay. “Gretcheu. 1 have committed no crime But you must have proof, We will go to the police bureau und settle this doubt.” "When?” “Now. tonight, while they are hunt­ ing for me.” "Forgive me," brokenly. “1 insist. This thing must be righted publicly.” "And 1 waa thinking that the man I loved was a coward!” “1 atn braver than you dream, Gretch­ en” And in truth he was, for he was about to set forth for the lion's den and only amazing cleverness could extricate him. The police bureau waa far away, but ths distance waa noth­ ing to these healthy young people. It was Gretchen who drew back fearful­ ly The aubchief of the bureau received them with th concealed surprise. “1 have learned that you are seeking me,” said tbs vintner, taking off his cap. Immediately the subchief did not know what to aay. This was out of the ordinary. “You are not a native of Dreiberg,” be began. “No. berr; 1 a«> from alace early in the evening and returns late, whose destination has invariably been 40 Krumerweg.” The vintner started. “My house?" cried Gretchen. “YourB? Perhaps you can dispel this phantom?’’ said Carmichael. “She wns a lady who comes on a charitable errand. But now she will come no mure. The obj«>ct of her visits Is goue,” Gretchen answered sadly. "My luck!” ruefully. “Are you not afraid to walk about In this part of-the town so late?” put in the vintner. "Afraid? Of what? Thieves? Bah. my little mail! I carry a sword stick, und, moreover, 1 know how to use It tolerably well, Good night.” And he swung along The vintner wus not patient tonight. "Who is this mysterious woman?” “1 am not free to tell you.” “Oh”’ “Leopold, what is the matter with you tonight? You act like a boy." "1 am wrong, Gretchen. You are right. Kiss me.” She liked the tone; she liked the kisses, too, though they hurt. "Good night, my man!” she whisper ed. "Good night, my woman! Tomor­ row night at H.” He turned and ran lightly and swift­ ly up the street. From the opposite doorway a moun- taineer. a carter, a butcher and a baker stepped cautiously forth. "He heard something,” said the mouutalneer "He haa ears like a rut for hearing What a pretty picture!” cynically. "All the world loves a lover -sometimes. Touching scene!” No one replied; no one wns expected to reply More than that, no one cared to court the fury which lay thinly disguised in the mountaineer's tone«.
