CHAPTER IX.
LOVK’B DOUBTS.
RETCHEN, troubled in heart
, und mind over the strung»
, event of the night, walked
slowly home.
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

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.

them.
"What is your business?’’
"I am a vintner by trade, herr.”
“Why did you Jump out of the win

“I was frightened ut first, herr. I
believed that we were all to be ar

“You accused him of being a Ju

"I am here because of that accusa

“What have you to say?"
"I deny it.’’
“Read this.”

“I can make nothing of this, herr.

Gretchen laughed Joyously; the vint

his breath.
’•The devil fly away with you both!"
he cried, making the best of his cha
grin. "And when you marry don’t in
vite me to the wedding.”
After they bad gone, however, he
called for an ussistant.
“Did you see that young vintner?"
••Yes.”
"Follow him night and day. Find
out where he lives and what he does
and ransack his room if possible. He
is either an innocent man or a sleek
rascal. Report to me this time each
night.”
Ou reaching the street Gretchen gave
rein to her luugbter. As they turned
into the Krumerweg they almost ran
into Carmichael.
"Herr Carmichael!” said Gretchen.
"And what are you doing here this
time of the night?”
“1 am looking for a kind of ghost, a
specter in black tiiut leaves the ]>alace
early in the evening and returns late,
whose destination has invariably been

The vintner started.
“My house?" cried Gretchen.

"My luck!” ruefully.

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

He turned and ran lightly and swift

From the opposite doorway a moun-

baker stepped cautiously forth.
