Garrison's. Turk had been sent to Brussels by Quentin on a mission of
considerable importance, arriving there soon after the body was discovered. He
saw the woman's face at the morgue and recognized her as the one who had
approached Quentin in the train for Paris. Turk learned that the police, to all
appearances had found a clew, but tad suddenly dropped the whole matter and
the woman was classified with the "unknown dead." An attendant at the morgue
carelessly remarked In his hearing that she was the mistress of a great man, who
had sent them word to "throw her in the river." Secretly Turk assured himself that

not have belonged to another. Dorothy did not know how or when Baker
secured these bits of evidence, When Quentin told her the chief object of Turk's
perilous visit to Brussels, her eyes filled with tears, and for the first time she felt
grateful to him. "I have a confession to make," she said, after the story was
finished and the others had deliberately charged Ugo with the crime "That poor
woman came to me n Brussels and implored me to give up the prince She told
me, Phil, that she loved him and warned me to beware of him. And she said that
he would kill her if he knew that she had come to me." "That settles it!" exclaimed
he, excitedly, the fever of joy in his eyes. "He killed her when he found that she
