Mr. Grimm took the handkerchief
and examined it under the light For
a time he was thoughtful, with low
cred eyes, which, finally raised, met
those of the stranger with a scruti-
nizing stare.

and distinctly. why did you slam the

Revelations.


Some vague, indefnable shadow
darkened Miss Thornes clear, blue
gray eyes, in sharp contrast to the
glow of radiant health in her cheeks,
as she stepped from the automobile in

ran lightly up the steps. A liveried
servant nnNned the door

Miss Thorne passed along the hall
way which led to a suit of small draw
ing-rooms opening on garden In the
rear, pushed aside the portieres. and
entered.
I'm sorry I've kept you" she be-
gan, and then, in a tone of surprise:

had been. He glanced about inQuir-

chair where Miss Thorne had been sit

The servant pondered a moment
then shook his head.

Thank you"
Mr.. Grimm was just turning away,
when there came the sharp, vibrant
cra-a-sh! of a revolver somewhere on
to his left The president! That was
his first thought. One glance across
the room to where the chief executive
stood in conversation with two other
gentlemen, treasured him. The chol-
eric blue eyes of the president had
opened a little at the sound, then he

Grimm impulsively started toward the
little group but already a Gordon was
being drawn there-a Gordon of quiet
faced, keen-eyed men, unobtrusively
forcing their way through the crowd
There was Johnson, and Hastings,
and Blair. and half a dozen others.
The room had been struck dumb
Then dancers stopped, with tense in
uuiring looks, and the painiive whine
of the orchestra, far away, faltered
then ceased There was one brief
instant of utter silence in which white
faced women chung to the arms OF
their escorts, and the brilliant galaxy
of colors halted Then, after mo
ment. there came clearly through the
stiffness, the excited, cultural com
mand Of the German ambassador.
Keep on blaying, you tam fools!
Keep on blaying!"
The orchestra started again tremu
lousy. Mr.. Grimm nodded silent
approval of the ambassadors com
mand, then turned away to his left, II

first dismay, there was general move

Mr.. Grimm went straight to quiet
nook of the smoking room and there,
after a moment MIR. Campbell Joined
him. The bland benevolence of the
chiefs face was disturbed by the
slightest questioning uplift of his
brows "a he dropped into a seat op-
posite Mr.. Grimm, and lighted a cigar.
Mr.. Grimm raised his hand. and a
servant who stood near, approached
them.
AN ice-here." Mr.. Grimm directed,
tersely.
The servant bowed and disappeared,
and Mr. Grimm hastily scrubbed some
thing on a sheet of paper and handed
It to his chief.
There Is a reading, In the Morse
code, of a message that seems to be
unintelligible," Mr.. Grimm explained.
81 have reason to believe it is In the
