stood before him. He was not sur
prised; intuition had told him he
would meet her again, perhaps here in
hiding. A sudden quick tenderness
lighted the listless eyes. For an In
slant she stood staring. her face pallid
against the gloom of the hallway be-

relief, as she pressed one hand to her
breast. The blue-gray eyes were
yelled by dropping lids. then she re-

CHAPTER xxv.-(continued.)

1T is only request from the sec
rotary of war that be permitted to
meet the inventor Of the wireless per-
cussion cap" Mr.. Grimm explained
carelessly. "The negotiations have
reached point where the War De-
partment must have one or two ques-
tions answered directly by the inven;
tor. Simple enough, you see."
"But it has been understood, and
have personally impressed it upon the
secretary of war, that such a meeting
Is impossible" objected Mr.. Howard.
"All negotiations have been conducted
through me, and have, as attorney
for the inventor, the right to answer
any question that may properly be an
swered. This now Is request for a
personal interview with the inventor"
The necessity for such an inter-
view has risen unexpectedly, because
of pressing need of either closing
the deal or allowing 1t to DROP" Mr..
Grimm stated. Il may add that the
success of the deal depends entirely
on this interview"
Mr.. Howard was leaning forward In
his chair with wrinkled brow intently
studying the calm face of the young
man. Innocent himself Of all the In
trigue and international chicanery
back Of the affair, representing only
an individual in these secret nego-
tiations, he saw in the statement, as
Mr.. Grimm intended that he should.
the possible climax of a great bust
ness contract. His greed was
aroused; it might mean hundreds of
thousands of dollars to him.
Do you think the deal can be
made?' he asked at last.
Il have no doubt there will be some
sort OF deal" replied Mr.. Grimm.
As say, however, 1t is absolutely de-
pendent on an interview between the
inventor and myself at once-this
afternoon"
Mr.. Howard thoughtfully drummed
on his desk for little while. From
the first, save In so far as the patent
rights were concerned, he had seen no
reasons for the obligations OF utter
secrecy which had been enforced upon
him. Perhaps, If he laid 1t before the
inventor in this new light, with the
deal practically closed. the interview
would be possible!
Il have no choice in the matter, Mr..
Grimm" he said at last. Il shall have
to put It to my client, of course. Can
you give me, say, half an hour, to
communicate with him?''
Certainly" and Mr.. Grimm rose
obligingly. "Shall wait outside here
or call again.
"You may wait. If you don't mind"
said Mr.. Howard 'Tll be able to let
Z you know in few minutes. hope"
Mr.. Grimm bowed and passed out.
At the end of twenty-five minutes the
door of Mr.. Towards private ONCE
!. opened and he appeared. His face was
yiQlently red. evidently from anger,
and perspiration stood on his fore
head.
Il can't do anything with him. he
declared savagely. He says simply
that negotiations must be conducted
through me or not at ALL"
Mr. Grimm had risen: he bowed
courteously.
Very we'll" he said placidly. you
understand. Of course. as the note
says. that this refusal OF his termin-
ates the negotiations. 500

ROOT OF MATTER
Was NOT TOUCHED
So Declares clifford Pinchot In Refer
ence To President Taft's Mes
sage to Senate.
(By associated Press.)

Washington. July Clifford Pin
chot, former government chief for
ester and now president of the Ma
tional Conservation Association, today
issued a statement declaring that
President Taft "leayes the root of the
matter wholly untouched" in his mes
sage to the Senate. denying there
could be any monopolization of the
water front of Controller Bay, Alaska.
Pinchot opens his statement with
this charge: The Presidents de-
fense of his course in the Controller
Bay affair shows how hard it is to
make a good excuse for a bad mis-
take" Concluding he says: at is
unfortunate that the friends of con
servation in their efforts to bring
about the development of Alaska for
the benefit Of the people are contin.
ualiy obliged to expend their strength
against men who ought to be pro
moters Of the peoples property"
