Grace Rescues Major Colt.
“That’s her affair,” observed the supervisor, beginning to get control of her nerves. “Are you going?”
Grace nodded and stepped out into the hall, where she found Elfreda awaiting her, and together they hurried away.

“Be sensible, Elfreda.”
“Why do you ask?” demanded Elfreda.
“I have my reasons. Some queer doings in Coblenz; and the end is not yet.”
