Sitting tilted on a eiuiir with hia feet upon a window sill near one corner of the room lounged a fairhaired individual whose slouchy attitude wa* a shrieking offence to the correct young Lieutenant Rote. "An unexpected pleasure, Sir John!" repeated von Wallenfels. “However," he wont on, “I am somewhat disappointed in you."

Nor could Meredith nor Beef understand what followed, though they watched proceedings with keen interest Colonel Weimar went out of the room and returned soon with a man who was so grossly repulsive in looks that he seemed hardly human. “Good lor'!" murmured Beef to Meredith. “1 seen humaner apes than that!" The new comer Mood stiffly to attention as von Wallenfels barked a few words. Thea a lengthy conversation took place during which Beef wm able to tall Meredith something which made his superior glance anxiously at the clock on the mantlet) iece. “You remember, Sir John." Beef whispered, “I done time in ExploCl at the Yard! Wall, I’ve oat a fuss to a collection of little jiggers, set it for two o’clock. Unless we get out before then, we’re for the high jump, Mr, and when I says high it will be high all right. Once my little beadle starts poppin’ the whole works’ll go up. There’s enough puff-stuff in there to blow us all into the middle of France." Meredith said nothing. Ho looked at the clock on the mantelpiece. The hands stood at five to twelve. Well, they had two hours. The ewful looking brute who had been replying to von Wallenfels, became suddenly silent. Meredith saw that the General's brow was like a thunder cloud. He barked an order, the naval men who had been standing behind Meredith's ehair marched from the room. Well, two lees in the room shortened the odd* but Meredith was no shillir*shoekerhero. Bullets did not bounce off him like Aey do off so many pulp prodigies. He knew perfectly well that his reactions after stopping a.« bullet would be precisdy the ume as the next man’s.

Hia eyas fell upon that utterly, dreadful fjKt of tho num itai*din< behind the door. “Erich Stats,” he breathed. “JavoU, Stats,” snarled the General. “A rogue but tees so than you ...a Jew!” Meredith watebed this scene in amaaement. H* had no mean* of gauging Ito true import, but he made a guess at it whoa he caught that word Jude. Kloffer, though obviously shaken, stood Ms ground. “Are you going to take the word of a snake like this State? Lrt me tell you what he is." “Wa know already,” replied Weimar. "Save your breath.” “But be is a renegade... a polities exile from Germany,” insisted Kloffer. “A traitor who escaped from the Fatherland before th* long ana of the Party could reach Mm.

Finally Klrfter looked at General von Wallenfels and said slowly, i “Very well, I acknowledge It. I am a Jew." Weimar drew In Ma breath with a sharp Maa at thia awful admission.
