THE MYSTERIOUS CARD fContinued from page 35 Bring this gentleman's things down: he won't stay here tonight. Russel, of course, remon- strated, and even refused to leave. The official bouncer was called, and our hero found himself outside with his luggage piled 'round him. With a bag in each hand he stalked down the street. Rounding a corner with his head down he collided with a man Who grunted. I beg your pardon, and then, well, Russel, when did you get in? And Russel recognized his old school mate, Bennett. Just got in, mumbled Russel, not wishing to let his friend know what had happened. Bennett imme- diately invited him to share his apartments and soon the two were chatting, telling experiences and asking ques- tions. By the way. said Russel, do you read French? Some, replied his friend, whereupon Russel produced the card which had already caused him so much trouble. Bennett read it, handed it back and said: Russel, I am surprised and disappointed. I asked you to stay with me tonight, but now I must take back that invitation, and ask you to leave at once. Too angry to ask for an explanation, Russel stalked out of the room and down the steps, determined that before he slept he would know the meaning of the four lines of writing on the card in his possession. It was now quite late, and the only forms of life to be seen were a taxi driver pacing back and forth beside his cab, a cur slinking into an alley, and a policeman cov- ering his beat. There is no one, it is said, who is as accommodating as a French policeman, and re- memlbering this, Russel thot that at last he had found some one who could clear things up for him. He pre- sented the cop with a good cigar and asked his now oft repeated question. To his surprise and horror his new found friend closed an iron hand around his arm, and said, Sir, you are under arrest. Russell's first night in jail was a sleepless one, and as he paced the floor of his two by four cell he tried vainly to imagine what his fate would be. Daylight came at last and shortly after he found himself before a stern- faced magistrate. Russel did not understand all of the proceedings, but he gathered that he was to leave for the United States of America in about two hours, by request of the French Government. In other words, he was to be deported. Aboard the ship he said nothing of his experiences, but he could not forget them. Nor did he show the card, which still remained in his possession. After three days of monotonous seagoing, however, his curiosity got the better of him. He had become acquainted with a steward, who was a likeable Frenchman, and thinking no possible harm could come to him now, he once more asked for the translation. The steward read the card, and gave a shrill whistle. Two ships plain clothes men came running and after a hurried consultation, Russel was placed in irons and thrown in the hold of the ship, where he remained for the rest of the trip. About two miles out from the New York harbor the ship stop- ped, a boat was lowered and friend Russel placed aboaid. I-Ie was rowed ashore to an inconspicuous landing place, while the ship steamed into port. Russel went to his apart- ments and immediately took from the bottom drawer of his desk a package of en- velopes marked C. In the third envelope in this pack- age, he placed the card. Busy straightening out his affairs, the card was grad- ually forgotten, and it was two months before it entered his mind again. One evening, just as he was leaving Ye Little VVhite Shop, he came face to face with Vic Jones, an old friend he had not seen since his college days. Together they attended a show and then went to Russel's rooms to talk over old times. Seated in Russel's comfort- able apartment, Jones was soon telling of his experience across the sea and the trou- ble he had had in getting out of the war zone. IVhen he mentioned Paris, Russel recalled his own experiences there and told them to his friend. Then he went to get the card thinking Jones would be able to translate it for him. He took out the package of envelopes marked C, took from this the third envelope, and found the blame card was gone.
