JIMMY FOX AGAIN
IN other worda," said Molly sharp
y, "you're a Bolshevist spy, and
you're frightened that we shall give
you away."
"That is precisely the situation.
You hare more Intelligence than
your companions, Mlsa O'Brien. It's
regrettable that you will hare to
share their fate."
By a tremendous effort 1 managed
to keep my head. The odds against
any help reaching us from outside
seemed to be a million to one, but
with Jerry at liberty, every addi
tional moment that we could gain
added to that slender chance.
"You're a trifle too late," I said
deliberately. "All the Information
we have about you Is already In the
riands of the police. If you kill us
you will be hanging yourself quite
unriocessarlly."
Once more Orloff laughed softly.
"I think not. I am under the Impres
sion that you have been foolish
enough to rely upon your own In
telligence. I should scarcely have
taken the trouble to follow you
down here and arrange for your re
moval unless I were convinced that
the results would be satisfactory."
"And what are your arrange
. ments?" I demanded. "If we've got
to die, you might at least tell us
that."
"They are simple enough," came
back the suave answer. "You will
be the vlctlma of an unfortunate ac
cident, due, I am afraid, partly to
your own carelessness, and partly
to the almost criminal negligence of
your friend, Sir William Avon.
"In the cellars under our feet
there are still several cases of high
explosive enough, I should say, to
reduce this building to a heap of
bricks and mortar. That Is the eiact
use to which I propose to put It."
I felt Molly's fingers tighten on
mine, but otherwise she remained
perfectly still.
'"pilK fuse, which I am now about
to light," continued Orloff, "will
reach the powder ten minutes after
I have left you. That will bave a
double advantage. It will give you
time to prepare for the next world,
and It will enable me to retire from
the scene of the tragedy.
"I had hoped to Include the rest
of your party, but since that con
venient solution appears to have
miscarried, we ahall bave to find a
different method of dealing with the
others. You can be quite aura that
it will be equally effective."
His voice ceased, and for several
seconds, amidst a deathly silence,
Molly and I stood there hand In
hand. Then, from somewhere down
the passage came a faint sound like
the closing of a door.
With a bitter oath, I stepped back.
"I've let you In for this." I mut
tered brokenly. "It was my utter
stupidity ..."
"No, no; you're not to blame." In
a half dazed fashion Molly drew the
back of her hand across her eyes.
"I wanted to come. I made you bring
me."
"There must be some way out."
I glanced desperately round the
room. "Another door or something
those curtains ..." I strode across
the farther corner and, clutching
the two strips of green linen which
bung from a brass rod, wrenched
them savagely apart. All I disclosed
was a stretch of bare shelves.
"These cursed walls are as smooth
as glass," 1 exclaimed despairingly.
"It there was only something I could
climb up by ... "
"It's no use, Nick." Molly
stretched out her bands. "Come
back to me; come back to me and
hold me In your arms."
I stumbled blindly towards her.
"My darling my dearest." I
caught her to me and crushed her
agninst my heart. "I love you so,"
I whispered. "I'd go through torture
to savo you the least hnrm, and yet
oh. my liod, Molly! I've brought
you to your death."
"Don't, don't Nick. You mustn't
talke like that. What does It matter
If we are going lo die? It's God's
will or It wouldn't have happened."
"OUT I love you," I repeated wild
D ly. "I didn't know, I didn't real
ize .. . "
"I love )u, too. Nick. I think I've
loved you from the first moment I

saw you!" Her arms tightened
round my neck, and her soft lips
met mine. "Oh, my dear," she whis
pered, "my dear."
"To let you die now," I groaned.
"It's too hideous; It's too utterly
hideous."
"I'm not afraid not If I can die
like this. I know there's another life
and we shall always be together
there. Kiss me again, Nick. Keep
on kissing me until until ..."
I strained her still closer; so close
that I could feel her heart throb
bing against mine. It seemed as
though something of her own faith
and courage had suddenly passed
Into my soul, and all I was conscious
of dow was a strnnRe and exalted
happiness.
If death were oiy . . .
God In heaven what was that?
My whole body wont tense and
rigid, and with a low cry Molly freed
herself from my arms.
'You hoard It, Nick you heard
It?"
1 nodded. "Listen,' I said hoarsely.
"Mister Trench whero are you?
It's me Jimmy."
The voice was Incredibly faint and
remote fainter even than the little
tinkling crash that had preceded It.
Clenching my hands, I sprang to
wards the door.
"Wo'ro here," I shouted. "Straight
ahead of you tho flrst opening on
the right. We're in the room at the
ond. Hurry, Jimmy, or you'll be too
late."
Molly was beside me again, and
staring np at the ventilator, we lis
tened breathlessly. One two per
haps three seconds, and then from
the pasnge outside came tho pat
ter of bare feet.
"It s all right, sir. The key's In
the lock. I'll hnvo you out In 'alf a
Jiffy."
Thero was a sharp click, and Jerk
ng around the hundlo, I pushed des
peratoly at the ntassivo steel slab.
It swung bark as swiftly and silent
ly as It had closed, and a small, drip
ping, half naked figure stumbled
forward over the threshold.
"You nin't 'uvt, sir you ..."
"Hun, Jimmy," I gasped. "Open
the f.ont doer. This plr.ro is jroing
up in two seconds."

Four special trains with fixed

were transferred from the railroad
station here to Wartburg In army

machine guns
The plebiscite officials who watch
ed the sealing of the boxes accom

attached coaches, which also con
veyed troops.
Officials decided the seals of the
boxes would be broken at 6, p. m.
In. the presence of representatives
of the French and Oerman govern
ments and the Saar Nazi and anti
Nazis. The 140 tellers were forbid
den contact with the public until
