1 As a young man I explored this
9 country on a walking tour. Inspired
by Stevenson. You know, per*
haps, his diverting "Travels -with
1 a Donkey"?"
1 "How strange, then, Is coincidence,"
Madame de Sevenle sug"
gested. "You who made a walk1
lng tour of this country so long
' ago, monsieur, regard there that
3 good Monsieur Duchemin, himself
: engaged upon just such an under
talcing.''
"But Is there anything more
wonderful than the workings of
the good God?" madame pursued.
"Observe that had it not been for
Monsieur Duchemin, we should
all, I, my daughter, my granddaughter,
even poor Georges
d'Aubrac, be lying dead at Mont1
pellier-le-Vieux."

heard enough to make him sub

dame la comtesse exclaimed with
; vivacity; "do you know what I
have Just discovered? You and
' Madame de Montalais are com"
partriots. She is of r yoifr New

other."
"I have been wondering,"
Monk admitted, bowing to Eve,
"if it were possible I could be
misled by a strong resemblance."
Eve turned to him with a look
of surprise. "Yes, monsieur?"
"It is many years ago .... I
was in the private office of my
friend, Edmund Anstruther, of
Cottier's, one afternoon?"
The effort of the memory knitted
Eve's brows; but in the end,
she shook her head. "I am sorry,
monsieur. But I am sa glad to
meet a friend of my father's monsieur."
"Your father and I entertained
one. passion in common, one
which he was better able "than I
to gratify for god diamonds and

what became of his collection. He
had some superb stones."
"I inherited them, monsieur."

"Little Eddie" Mallon, the watch>g

with disappointment easy

"I lost 'the Duchess* again," he
umbled.
His story was brief. He had relived
a wireless tip that there
