Down-stairs 1 could find no trace of him. • Imagine my surprise on glancing out of the window, to see him stroll ing along toward the hotel wiih Bertha Duval.

"Rather startled. 1 could not object.' and from our rooms, after clearing,' a table, we gave our orders. As we waited. I cautiously broached the sub-, ject of Bertha. He deftly turned the con ion > “Finally, our waiter arrived with soup. To my astonishment, before, Kennedy would touch it. he dipped out a bit and began testing it. “ It's all right " he nodded finally “My appetite, however, had fled “Again, when a roast appeared. he ( went through the same process This! time however, he looked up strangely. | A good thing I thought of this.” he commented “How is that?" I asked eagerly “ 'lt contains the toxin of the bacillus botulinus." he replied. “ And that ds—what?” “ Well.” he began, “botulism well to ranked among the most ser-. ious diseases, it is hard to understand why. even today, it is not more common It is one of the most dangerous forms of food poisoning ” “ 'Then the meat is bad?" I asked. “ 'Not naturally." he added. “Some one has made it so —to look as though 1 it were natural food poisoning. Bacillus botulinus produces a toxin that is extremely virulent. Hardly more than a ten-thousandth of a cubic centimeter would kill a guinea pig. This, however. is totulin. the pure toxin formed in meat and other food-products, added for our especial benefit." "1 was aghast. ‘"Was it totulin that killed Braun?” “He nodded ” ‘ It is 4 ftod disease. Yet I have found no trace in the food sample*. Nor haa anyone here at the hotel been affected." "Whence had the totulin come. 1 wondered. Evidently, some one w-ts afraid Craig would discover too much I thought of Bertha Dnva! and of Hu roki's presence in the hotel thvt morning, but refrained from saying anything.” It developed that Bertha Duval was of the British secret service. She was obliged to tell this, when she was confronted by the secret service man from the United States who showed her a vial containing totulin which he had found in her room. It contained botnlin. the same poison that killed CarI los. She cleared herself when she explained that she had found Car- [ los was sending information to some- - one: how she had told his wife. Zita; . how Zita had charged Carlos with it; - how he admitted it. asked her forgivei ness and promised to undo what harm - he had dime, and finally of the revenge r the German spy had taken upon him. < This was found to to true from a paper, which Bertha's confederate.
