Chapter U "MURDERI POLICEI" TTOW Bobby ind Frankl lot out I ! of the post offlca without dis gracing themselves neither of them ever knew. Outside, with on accord, they looked at each other and shook with laughter. "At th Vicarage all th Urn!" gasped Bobby. "And I looked through four hun dred and eighty Eranaeil" lament ed Frankle. "Now I lea why Baaalngton ffrench was so amused when he realized w didn't know In tb least who Evana was!" "And ot course It was dangerous from their point of Tlew. You and Evans were actually nnder th sam roof." "Com on," said Bobby. "March bolt's th next place.' "I,lke where tb rainbow ends," said Frank!. "Back to th dear old home." i 1 "Dash It all," said Bobby, "w must do something about Badger. Hav you any money, Frankle?" Frankl opened her bag and took out a handful of notes. "Give these to him and tell blm to maka soma arrangement with h!s creditors, and say that Father will buy th garag and put him In as manager." "All right," said Bobby. "Th great thing Is to get off quickly." "Why this frightful haeter "I don't know but I've a feeling something might happen." "How awful! Let's go aver so quickly." ' "I'll settle Badger, Too go and start th car." 1 shall never buy that tooth brush," said Frankl. Flv minutes saw them apeedlog out of Chipping Somerton. Bobby had no occasion to complain tot lack of speed. Nevertheless, Frankl suddenly said, "Look her, Bobby, this Isn't quick enough." Bobby glanced at th speedom eter needle, which was, at th mo ment, registering eighty, and re marked drily, "I don't see what more we can do." "W can take an air tail," said Frankle. "We're only about seven miles from Medeshot airport." "My dear girl!" said Bobby. "It w do that we'll b horn In a couple ot hours." "Good," said Bobby. "Let's take an air tail." The whole proceeding was begin ning to taka on th fantastls charac ter of a dream. Why this wild hurry to get to Marchbolt? Bobby didn't know; He suspected that Frankl didn't know either. It was Just a feeling. At Medeshot Frankl asked for Mr. Donald King, and an untidy looking young man was produced who appeared languidly surprised at the sight of her. "Hullo, Frankle," he said. "I haven't seen you for an age. What do you want!" "I want an air tail," aald Frankl. "You do that sort of thing, don't you?" "Oh, yes. Where do you want to go?" "I want to gat home quickly," said Frankle. Fir minutes later they war off. "T?RANKIB," said Bobby, "why are w doing thlsT" "I haven't the faintest Idea," said ' Frankle. "But I feel we must. Don't you ?" "Curiously enough, I do. But I don't know why, After all, our Mrs. Itoberts won't fly away on a broom stick." "She might. Remember, w don't know what Basslngton-lfrench Is up to." " That's true." said Bobby thoughtfully. It was growing lat when they reached their destination. The plane landed them In th Park, and Ave minutes later lloblty and Fran kle were driving Into Marchbult. They pulled up outside th Vicar age gate, th Vlrarag drlv not lending Itself to the turning of ex pensive cars. Thrn Jumping ou they ran up the drive. "I shall wake up aoon," thought Bobby. "What ar we doing and why!" A slender figure was standing on the doorstep. Frnnkte and Hobby rproKtilr.ed her at the smite minute. "Molra!" cried Frankl. Molra turned. She wan swaying slightly. "Oh, I'm so glad to ses you. I don't know what to do." "But what on earth brings you here?" OF PRINCESS PLUNGES 10 DEATH rXORENCr, lUly.

"Th earn thing that has brought you, I expect" "You hav found out who Evana Is?" asked Bobby. Molra nodded. "Yes, It's a long story" "Come Inside," said Bobby. But Molra shrank back. "No, no," she said hurriedly. "Let's go some where and talk. There's something I must tell you before we go Into th house. Isn't there a cat or some place like that In th town? Some where we could go?" "All right," said Bobby, moving unwillingly away from tb door. "But why '' Molra stamped her foot "You'll see when. I tell you. Oh, do come! There's not a minute to lose." They yielded to her urgency. About halfway down tb main street was tb Orient Cafe, whose some what grand nam was not born out by the Interior decoration. Tb three of them died In. It was a slack mo-' ment half-past six. They aat down at a smalt table In th corner, and Bobby ordered three coffees. "Now then?" he said. "Walt till she's brought the cof fee," said Molra. Th waitress returned and list lessly deposited three clips ot tepid coffe In front of tbem. . "Now then," said Bobby again. "I hardly know where to begin," said Molra. "It was In the train going to London. Really th most amazing coincidence. I went along the corridor and" She broke off. Her seat faced tbe door and she leant forward staring. . "He must have followed me," she said. f "Who?" cried Frank! and Bobby together. "Basslngton-ffrench," whispered Molra. "You've seen hlra?" "He's outside. I saw hlra. With a woman with red hair." "Mrs. Cayman," cried Frankle. She and Bobby Jumped and ran to tbe door. A protest came from Molra, but neither ot them heeded It They looked up and down the street but Baaalngton-ffrench was nowhera in sight Molra Joined them. "Has h gone?" she asked, her voice trembling. "Ob! do be careful. He's dangerous horribly danger- out" "He can't do anything so long as we're all together," satd Bobby. "Brae up, Molra," said Frankle. "Don't be such a rabbit." "Well, we can't do anything for the moment" said Bobby, leading the way back to the table. "Qo on with what you were telling us, Molra." Hti PICKED up his cup of coffee. Frankl lost her balance and fell against hlra, and th coffee poured over the table. "Sorry," said Frankle. She stretched over to th adjoin ing table, which was laid for possi ble diners. There was a cruet on It with two glass-stoppered bottles con taining oil and vinegar. The oddity ot Frankle'a proceed ings riveted Bobby's attention. She took the vlnegar.bottlc, emptied out the vinegar Into the slophowl and began to pour coffee Into It from her cup. "Hav you gon batty, Frankle?" asked Bohby. "What the devil are you doing?" "Taking a sample ot this coffee for George Arbuthnot to analyze," said Frankle. She turned to Molra. "The game's up, Moira! The whole thing cams to me In a flash as we atood at th door Just now! When I Jogged Hobby's elbow and made him spill his coffee 1 saw your face. You put something In our cups when you sent us runulng to the door to look for Basalngton-ffrench. The game's up, Mrs. Nicholson or Tem ploton or whatever you like to call jouraelf!" "Tetnpleton?" cried Bobby. "Look at ber face," cried Frankle. "It she denies It, ask her to come to th Vlcarnge and see If Mrs. Roberts doesn't Identify her." Bobby did look at her. He saw that face that haunting, wistful face transformed by a demoniac rage. The beautiful mouth opened and a stream ot foul and hideous curses poured out. She fumbled In her hand bag.

It ended the World war, changed the map of the world, and set forth conditions under which the vic torious powers Insisted on peace. Yet, strange as It seems, there Is only one official treaty and It was never signed by governmental rep resentatives In their official capac ities. The treaty was signed, to be sure, but the men who signed it did no as Individuals and not aa official representatives of the governments Involved In the treaty.
