There is no more to be said. Good
day"
There was step and the sound Of
the door closing. She had gone.
Alcatrante and the Japanese looked
at each other. I'VE have not failed
yet," said Alcatrante in French. THE
girl does not know where tho docu-
ments are, or she would not have come
here. If her father does not have
them before midnight our plans are
safe. We remain merely at loss as
to the details of the documents. and
we already know what they contain in
general way"
YES" agreed the Japanese, things
do not look SO black, perhaps. But
am interested in your former advice"
"Yes"
Find the American! That is what
she will try to do"
1--WE had an appointment with him
this morning." said Alcatrante grimly,
'but when you said that your man had
the envelope, 1t no longer seemed nee
essary. We-you and I-stAl have the
same object in view. suggest that
we now set out separately"
'"As you WISH" said the Japanese
calmly. Doubtless he knew that Al.
catrante was grasping at a straw
which might still give him the ad.
vantage in future negotiations. 81 am
honored by your cooperation thus far. u
| He bowed formally.
Alcatrante returned the bow and
beckoning to Poritol, left4the room.
The Japanese minister turned to
Arima and talked rapidly in his native
tongue. From his manner 1t was plain
that he was giving orders. At last
with little gesture Of authority, he
put on his hat and walked out. The
door closed after him with slam.
Arima, now alone, seated himself in
chair and appeared to mediate
Again his hands were clasped about
his knees and his beady eyes fixed or
space. For fully fifteen minutes he
sat thus; then, with little cluckine
sound, he leaped to his feet and hur
ried into the next room.
Now was Orme's chance. He lifted
the table cover and rose to his feet
Arima had not closed the door aftel
him, but Orme was not in the line Of
direct view into the other room, and
he had to risk the possibility Of being
seen before he, reached the window.
Or should he try for the door? It al
depended upon what part of the mex
room Arima was in; but the window
seemed safer, for the opening ant
closing of the door would be sure t.
attract attention.
Orme moved toward the windov
slowly, watching the opening through
which Arima had disappeared. He go
halfway to the window; three more
steps would bring him to the SILL Ant
then, without warning, Arima leapet
into the room. Even In that momen
Orme caught glimpse Of mirror IL
the farther room, and knew that tht
Japanese had seen his reflection.
At this instant another man ap
peared, close behind Arima. A band
age was wrapped around his head. L
was ,Maku, who presumably had beer
in the apartment all the time.
Orme stood little chance of over
coming the two. Quick as cats, witt
muscles like steel springs and great
variety of scientific tricks of offense
and defense, they could handle him as
they wtlled in a direct encounter. II

mediums s outfit. She was fraud, but
he liked her-yes. pitied her-and he
felt inclined to excuse her In 30 far as
he could. For the kiss which he had
given her he felt no-regret;- ;-it-was
hers, in all innocence, for what OF
good she might have found In It.
The minutes dragged by. He thought
of the precious documents, safe In the
inside pocket Of his coat. What they
were, he did not try to determine. but
it was plain that they must be OF in.
ternational Importance. The talk of
ships and Alcatrante's references to
commissions had puzzled him. But
suddenly came to his mind the news
paper rumors that Japan was secretly
adding vessels to her navy through the
agency of a South American republic
which was having cruisers and battle
ships built in Europe, to turn them
over at their completion, to the Japa-
nese. There was, as yet, no interna-
tional proof of this policy, for none of
the ships had been completed, but the
South American country was certainly
adopting a policy of naval construction
quite out of proportion to her position
among the powers.
How came the girl to be involved in
this mix-up Of nations? Through her
father, of course-but who was he? A
concessionaire? Her courage and de-
termination. employed against shrewd
men, was as notable as the beauty OF
her face and mind. for she was like a
queen in her assured comprehension.
How 1t quickened his heart to think
of her! The poor, faded medium, with
the smolder of old flames in her eyes
with the records OF hard experience
written on her face, was a child in
stature beside the girl-a child with
yearnings that could never be salts
fed.
Well, the girl had doubted him. He
could not wonder at that, for the facts
were all against him, and she hat
known him only few hours. Yet he
had hoped-he had believed-that she
would know the truth and the devotion
in him without further evidence. Per
haps he had expected too much from
, her noble insight. After all-and tina

Hope Dispatch: The rotten work
reported being done in the state
grain inspecting department re-
minds US Of the time when we were
a grain shipper in Kansas. In those
days we sold most of our wheat by
sample, and having car of soft
wheat on track one morning when
two buyers were In the city, we
received a bid from each with the
understanding that we could accept
either bid after receiving our mar
ket report from Kansas City. When
the report was received we decided
to ship direct to the mills in Kan
sas City, and billed the car out, but
the railroad agent made a mistake
in the final billing and shipped the
car with others to Atchison. Finally
we got word from Kansas City that
our car Of wheat was lost, and about
the same time got word from Atchi-
son that car Of rye had been re-
celved there. The fact that We had
the bids from the two buyers who
had seen the car Of wheat was all
that saved US from q loss of Sf5t
as the state inspectors insisted the
car contained No. 3 rye, The rail-
road finally paid us $40 to settle
the matter Of the loss caused BY their
part Of the mistake.
