waist, open at rounded throat. A cheap tortoise-shell comb held her coils of chestnut hair high on her head. Louisa of the Wilhelmstrasse; but not the same 杭州水疗会所名字大全 Louisa—the sophisticated Louisa of the Café Riche and the Winter Garden. A timid little cigar maker she was, here in Gibraltar.

“Louisa!” Almer’s head bobbed up on a suddenly stiffened neck as he whispered her name. She set her boxes of cigars on the desk, opened them, and as she made gestures to point the worthiness of her wares, she 杭州按摩足浴网 spoke swiftly, and in a half whisper:

“All is as we hoped, Almer. He comes on the Princess Mary—a cablegram from Koch just got through to-day. I wanted——”

“You mean——” Almer thrust his 杭州洗浴介绍 head forward in his eagerness, and his eyes were bright beads.

“Captain Woodhouse—our Captain Woodhouse!” The girl’s voice trembled in exultation. “And his number—his Wilhelmstrasse number—is—listen carefully: Nineteen Thirty-two.”

“Nineteen Thirty-two,” Almer repeated, under his breath. Then aloud: “On the Princess Mary, 杭州spa哪家好 you say?”

“Yes; she is already anchored in the straits. The tenders are coming ashore. He will come here, for such were his directions in Alexandria.” Louisa started to move toward the street door.

“But you,” Almer stopped her; “the English are making a round-up of suspects on the Rock. They will ask questions—perhaps arrest——”

“Me? 杭州不正规的足浴店 No, I think not. Just because I was away from Gibraltar for six weeks and have returned so recently is not enough to rouse suspicion. Haven’t I been Josepha, the cigar girl, to 杭州桑拿体验记 every Tommy in the garrison for nearly a year? No—no, se?or; you are wrong. These are the purest cigars made south of Madrid. Indeed, se?or.”

‘Haven’t I been Josepha for nearly a year?’
“Haven’t I been Josepha for nearly a year?”

The girl had suddenly changed her tone to one of professional wheedling, for she saw three entering 杭州足浴大全 the door. Almer lifted his voice angrily:

“Josepha, your mother is substituting with these cigars. Take them back and tell her if I catch her doing this again it means the cells for her.”

The cigar girl bowed her head in simulated fright, sped past the incoming tourists, and lost herself in the shifting crowd on the street. Almer 杭州水疗spa会所全套 permitted himself to mutter angrily as he turned back to his books.

“You see, mother? See that hotel keeper lose his temper and tongue-lash that poor girl? Just what I tell

you—these 杭州桑拿按摩 foreigners don’t know how to be polite to ladies.”

Henry J. Sherman—”yes, sir, of Kewanee, Illynoy”—mopped his bald pink dome and glared truculently at the insulting back of Joseph Almer. Mrs. Sherman, the lady of direct impulses who had contrived to stare Captain Woodhouse out of countenance in the Winter Garden not long 杭州足浴大保健 back, cast herself despondently on the decrepit lounge and appeared to need little invitation to be precipitated into a crying spell. Her daughter Kitty, a winsome little slip, stood behind her, arms about the mother’s neck, and her hands stroking the maternal cheeks.

“There—there, mother; everything’ll come out right,” Kitty vaguely assured. Mrs. Sh
