She could heir them In the street below and then on the front stent and pounding at the door. "Lights showing. Turn them off!" a dozen voices called at once. It did not take them long to dls cover that something was wrong. She heard the door crash open , and thick-soled boots came pound' inf up the steps to the second floor. , . "I'm locked In." she called when she heard them in the hall out side. "Put those lights out," she was commanded. f She had barely turned off the switch when they crashed into the room. A shadowed light cut the blackness. "Quick!' Take me to Scotland Yard!" she commanded ' before they had time to challenge her for violating blackout rule "I must see Inspector Babcock at once." ; "JUTSIDE, a taxi was eomman- , ' , deered and Mary found her self accompanied by a warden and a bobby en route to Scotland Yard. The cab crawled through the darkened streets. It seemed interminable before she was face to face with file ln spector. She introduced herself. t Babcock had no difficulty in plac ing her. ; "The airplane carrier, Regency, is to be torpedoed," she told him. "Enemy spies already know when she leaves Scapa Plow." Inspector .Babcock was dectrl fled. "Do you know what you're say ing?" he demanded. Mary became suddenly calm. She managed to marshal her thoughts and her words. I was kidnaped today by Carta Uarchetta and her chauffeur," ah was saying. They took me to her house in Mayfalr. They drugged me but I came to before they ex pected. X distinctly heard Carta order Felix, the chauffeur, to in form the enemy of the sailing time of the Regency from Scapa Plow. Something about static on a time signal. That ship win be tor pedoed. "Go on," the Inspector motioned. They gloated about it They intend leaving England. They're ,1 l ... n-ffnl nnw In Carta's limousine." ' Vaguely, Mary knew a call was being put through to the Ad miralty. Orders were dispatched to a dozen different officers, . At last Inspector Babeoek turned to her. ' ' Tell me all you know about this," he spoke quietly. His request made Mary realize the enormity of what she had done. She knew she had gone too far to keep Vincent out of it She saw his name must come in in con nection with the Moravia, at least " q. nil. tt ' uv moi she loved Gilbert Lenox, if she betrayed Vincent She would have to stand by him. She leaned toward the inspector. . "Vincent Gregg, an American aviator, Is innocently involved in ihls. If I've done anything to help, will you help him?" Inspector Babcock studied her. "I can't make any promises. But 111 help if I can." Mary's long narrative com menced with the air raid and the dinner in the restaurant when Carta and Vincent had first been linked. She told briefly of the Moravia and her suspicion that Vincent had been the one who had unwittingly revealed to Carta the secret time of sailing. When she came to the last horrible chapter, she broke down in sobs. The story was interrupted by the insistent telephone. The Ad miralty called back several times for Inspector Babcock. Reports tame through from the Yard's own operators, all along the route to Bristol. After one of these calls the inspector nodded his head as If satisfied. Mary felt relieved in the knowl edge of what she had done to save the lives of a thousand British seamen. She was fully reassured wnen trie inspector said: "you've done the country a great service. The Regency's sail ing has been canceled." He leaned back and regarded her thoughtfully. "In view of what you've done, IT1 make every effort to save your friend Gregg. He'll be brought in for questioning and will be interned for the dura tion of the war. But I don't think you need worry about a firing squad." Daylight was coming through the barred windows of the Inspec tor's office when the long wait was over. A .chair scraped. Inspector aUbcock'jtaod tsj. "Is this the woman?" In the doorway, handcuffed to a Scotland Yard man, was Carta Marchettal Rapier-like, her ayes flashed hatred at Mary. a e e OUTSIDE the sun of early morn ing struggled with the fog. The clop-clop of horses' hoofs sounded unreal after the fantastic events of the night Mary started toward Soho Square but found she was going n entirely different direction. Without knowing it her steps were following the dictates of her heart She had to see Gilbert Lenox at once. At the hospital she was shown into a waiting room. It was only a minute and then the sight of Gilbert's serious face. "I had to see you. There's something I must tell you. I hard ly know where to start" He waited for her to go on. She threw back her head, the, maize-ripples of her hair brushing her shoul ders. "No matter what happens," she began slowly, "I want you to be lieve this. I love you." . There was a puzzled expression on Gilbert's face. He took a step closer. Then his eyes lighted with unbelievable happiness. "Oh, my darling. This is what Pve wanted what I've waited for." rve never stopped loving you and never will, I guess. . We'll be re married in church and then go back home as soon as I've finished soy service in France." Mary drew away. It was agon izing this knowing that happiness was right beside her and she couldn't reach for it "No, I can't be your wife," she said faintly. This is the end goodby. Yes terday, I'd have given up Vincent for you, but nowwell, it's too late. Vincent is to be arrested and Interned for the rest of the war." Gilbert paused as full Import of her words reached him. "But that trees you!" She shook her head. A jerky mile came to her lips. That's the strange thing about it," she whispered. "Vincent's been fool ishly involved in a naval spy plot t was the one who disclosed it So you see, I can't walk out on him now." (To Be Continued) Frank E.
