"We must go over the ground up there again," he remarked finally. "Perhaps we can do better than Mrs. Sutphen and her drug investigator have done." Half an hour later we had arrived and were sauntering along the street in question, walking slowly up and down in the now fast- gathering dusk.
Whether it confirms his premonitions or not, you will learn in due time. I am inclined to believe that Johann was intended to fall into your hands, but with a different intent. Either that or the message was meant for Russia, the risk to be shouldered upon Carter. May I employ Josef," he requested blandly, "as a messenger to Colonel Sutphen?"
What business had she to be thinking of Evan, when she was Basil's wife? what right to, be even only in imagination, spending her life with him? She knew, now that she was called to look at it, that Mrs. Sutphen had spoken true, and that a process had been going on in herself which might well be likened to the process of petrifying.
There's fire at the heart of the earth, folks say, but it don't do us much good in winter." With this oracular statement Mrs. Sutphen closed her lecture. She had said enough. Diana spent half that night and all the next day in a quite new set of meditations. And more days than one. She waked up to see what she had been doing.
They were all captains as well as he, and he was hail, fellow! well met! with them as with everybody. Mr. Neckart, who was formally introduced, nodded curtly, but did not sit down. "A good day for the perch, Sutphen," said the captain, handing round a bundle of cigars. "Yaas." "But you ought to have been on the banks by daylight." Mr.

Up there in 66th Street we have found a man named Armstrong, who seems to be very friendly with this young girl whom they call 'Snowbird. Her real name, by the way, is Sawtelle, I believe. She can't be over eighteen, a mere child, yet she's a slave to the stuff."

His passion for acquisition, however, has given us additional material." He held up the star with evident dramatic intent. As Sutphen and Muhlen-Sarkey recognized it they started in genuine surprise. "King Stovik's star," cried Sutphen.
They rushed right into the arms of the two companies Colonel Sutphen had there waiting for them. Only one, a sergeant, 'ad grit enough to fight. 'E picked me out, sir. Rushed me with 'is sword and gave me all I could do," said Carrick giving gallant tribute to a valiant foe. The Cockney became silent. "Well?" inquired Carter after a prolonged season of expectancy.
She smiled indulgently. "Perhaps," she said, "when you have fully mastered our language, we might make you a lance corporal. You see we have only one Field Marshal, Colonel Sutphen, although fully a score of applicants for that rank." "Don't tease, Tru," said Zulka with the intimacy of a lifelong friendship, "I am a colonel. Cal Carter, here, is a better soldier.
The girl came forward with an explanation as the elderly noble turned a questioning face toward hers. "He has gone out, monsieur," she said. "He will soon return. He is in debt." She hung her head in distress. Colonel Sutphen turned to Josef in surprise. The latter whispered something in his ear, which apparently satisfied him. The girl closely watched this little by-play.
