O'Clock the rain began to fall again
AWAKENED b HI RAIN.
Thousands Of people-men, women
and children--camped in the parks,
squares and open lots, were awakened
by the rain dashing 10 their faces and
the water dripping through improvis-
ed tents Wherever possible, women
and children were crowded and hud-
died into the regular canvas water
proof tents, which are on hand Little,
however could be done, as the facilit-
les are entirely inadequate to house
all the homeless and large numbers
sought the protection of trees, bushes
and a few boards placed over their
heads to ward of the water.
About daylight a man appeared at
police headquarters with tears stream
ing down his cheeks, asking for some
conveyance to take bis family from
Golden Gate park to shelter. He
was told that nothing could be done
until daylight.
IT COOLED THE RUINS.
The rain has cooled the ruins ano
extinguished some Of the fires which
still illuminated the sky FROM thu

almost stygian darkness, the silence
broken only by the tread of patrol

stopping at the Dennisfords'.
borhood and to poster Courage. Guest refused to
make the concessions necessary to relief
from the sentence of death that had been pro-
nounced by the system. Courage was warned
against accepting Guests trust.
Guest just before his death, told Courage the
Great Secret, which the latter refused to transmit
to Adele Miss Van Hoyt announced that she and
Courage must be enemies.
The astonishing condition came about that Guest
was not dead, but had only suffered from suspended
animation The doctor who had signed his death
certificate suddenly departed on indefinite
vacation.
Courage had visit with the Prime Minister of
England, in which he vainly endeavored to impress
upon him the importance of some secret informa-
ton, and then, with Guest as his valet, departed
for America
Adele was on the same vessel, in company with
her stepmother. De Valentin, mysterious
Frenchman, was also of the party. Adele con-
fessed her love for Courage, and begged him to give
up his mission
Count de Valentin, an aspirant to be King of
France, a member of house party prepared
objected strongly to Courages being invited 1t
necessary for the unraveling of the Great
Secret, that the latter attend, however and he
persisted in going. Mrs. Van Reinberg insisted on
making him her confdant, thus unwittingly giving
him tremendous aid.
A meeting of mlionaires was held at the Van
Reinbergs, arranged by de Valentn. The latter
to be given twelve million dollars to advance
his kingy interests and agreed in consideration to
bestow titles upon the wives of the millionaires
he gained the throne.
Courage arranged with an agent in New York to
supply double of himself, as he learned that the
system sending agent from London to get
on his track, and he and Guest departed incognito
for Europe. They remained in Germany long
enough to perfect their DISCUSSES, then returned to
London a German restaurant man (Guest) and
his nephew (Courage) and bought the Suisse cafe,
the headquarters where the plot of the Great Secret
was being worked out. Courage, as Paul Schmidt,
admitted to membership with the conspiracy
His double was murdered in the United States.

TTARDROSS COURAGE, a young English gen
n tleman, engaged a room at the Hotel Univer-
= sal, London. As he was about to retire the
first night man half clothed rushed into his room,
Historically begging Courage not to let his
follow him.
The latter two men, burst through the door of
connecting ROOM despite Courages protests, and
demanded the right to search the room, saying
that the man they were hunting was a dangerous
character They turned out the lights, and there
ensued terrible fight i'll the darkness, with terrible
grnans from some one. Courage struck one of the
aSsaants and Just before the melee
thought he heard the rustic of wonan's skirt and
detected odd perfume but when he finally
managed turn the lights not a sign of person
was visible.
The porter, whom he summoned, insisted that
he heard nothing: and the next morning Courage
received notice from the hotel management order
ing him out for creating disturbance.
He brought the hotel man to terms by explaining
his standing and threatening Scotland Yard
and dog passed near, exhaling the same per-
fume that he had noticed in his room the night
before.
Courage met Miss Adele Van Hoyt the Young
woman in question, at the cricket match, and later
she told him that the man he defended traitor
and renegade, who possessed tremendous secret,
which she advised him to lure from him. He found
Guest, the man in question: sick in bed and a
prisoner at the same hotel. and was told that he
must decide by the next day if he would become
the bearer of the secret affair of life and death.
Courage took dinner with Adele, and told her
that she the only woman he could ever care for,
and that his time and life were hers: She then told
him take Guest to his country home and learn
the secret
The following day Courage was drugged by
James Stanley, of the men who had burst into
his ROOM and when he awoke the next afternoon
all of the persons in whom he most concerned
had left the hotel. He disgustedy departed for his
home, and astounded to find Guest already
there. having been sent by Adele.
Guest told Courage that he was Wortley Foote.
the notorious spy who had nearly brought all all
burden and carry it on to the end.
Lady Dennisford, Courages neighbor, and Guest
