CHAPTER XXI.
The WAY Out.

ne way OuLs
The sound of the girls voice brought
the men in the room to life. Her
words were shaded to a tone Of fear
less scorn which must have bitten
deep, for Alcatrante and the Japanese
minister looked like schoolboys caught
in wrong-doing. The South American
gnawed at his lip; the Japanese looked
at the floor, and Orme now realized
that the manner which had seemed SO
indicative of a masterful personality
was the manner which springs from
power-the manner that is built upon
the assurance of tremendous back
ing.
The tension was broken by Porttol.
The little mans dismay suddenly gave
way to an eager and voluble excite
ment, and he rushed across the room,
exclaiming: ooh, my dear miss"
mo names" commanded Alcatrante,
harshly, turning to his subordinate.
MY dear young lady" continued
Poritol breathlessly, II am the victim
of your misunderstanding. You will
permit me to explain.
She answered with an even, cutting
edge in her voice: you cannot ex-
plain, Mr.. Poritol."
But" he began, blind to her mean
ing.

said: and Poritol skunk back to his
former position. From his face 1t was
clear that he had no desire except to
get away.
Meantime Alcatrante aroused him

the Japanese-"and myself are here on
business which concerns our two ma
lions. Your appearance, presume, is

SYNOPSIS.

At the expense Of soiled hat Herbert
Orme saves from arrest girl in q black
touring car who has caused a traffic jam
on State street. He buys a new hat and
Is given five dollar bill with: ''Remem-
per the person you pay this to-" written on
It. A second time he helps the girl in the
PACK car and learns that in Tom and
Jessie Wallingham they have mutual
friends, but gets no further hint OF her
IDENTITY. He discovers another tnscrlp-
uon on the marked bill, which in futile
places the copy in drawer In his apart
ment. Senior Poritcl, South American,
calls and claims the marked BILL Orme
refuses, and q fight ensues in which Pori-
tol is overcome. He calls In Senior AL
-catFante, minister from his country, to
Vohch for him: Orme still refuses TO give

ana sees two Japs attack Alcatrante: he
Tescues him. The minister tries dipio-
macy. put fails to get the marked Pill;
Dy Two Japs who effect a forcible ex-
change Of the marked bill for another.
Orme finds the girl of the black car wait
ing for him. She also wants the bill. Orme
Iells MS story. She recognizes one OF the
Japs as her fathers butler, Maku. The
second inscription on the bill is the key
TO the hiding place OF important papers
stolen from her father. Both Japs and
south Americans want the papers. Orme
and the Girl start out in the black
car In quest of the papers. In the uni
Versity grounds in Evanston the hiding
place is located. Maku and another Jap
are there. Orme fells Maku. and the
other Jap escapes. Orme finds in Ma
ku's pocket a folded slip of paper. He
takes the girl, whose name is still un-
known to him, to the home of friend
in Evanston. Returning to the univer-
stty grounds Orme gets in conversation
with guard at the life-saVing station.
They hear a motor boat in trouble in
the darkness on the lake. They find
the crippled boat. In it are the Jap
with the papers and Girl" She jumps
into Orme's boat, but the Jap eludes
pursuit. Orme finds on the paper he
took from Maku the address, "341 N.

not to think of business or serious or.

The stranger turned to Arima. "Give
US the envelope" he said
Arima approached the table. Orme
crowded back against the wall as far
as he could, knowing that the chances
of escaping discovery were strongly
against him. But he was saved by the
very eagerness of the others. They all
crowded about Arima, as he lifted the
cover. opened the drawer and took out
the envelope So close did they stand
that Orme was out of their angle of
vision. The table cover fell again, and
he was safe. He resumed his position
at the peep-hole
The stranger stepped to the middle
of : the room, the others gathering
around him. With quick jerk he
tore the envelope open, and taking orf
the papers. ran his eye over them
rapidly. He uttered an exclamation.
What is it?" said Alcatrante. The
South Americans hand was shaking.
and Precipitation stood out on his fore
head.
The Japanese snarled. "Tricked!
They've fooled us. That honorable
burglar of yours got the wrong en-
velope."
Alcatrante snatched the papers.
" Prospectus he read, of the Last
Dare Mining Company But l do not
understand"
The Japanese glared at him angrily.
IF you had kept out of this business, +"
he snapped, "and let Maku attend to it,
everything would have been right.
Now your burglars have spoiled it. +"
He snatched back the harmless pros
pectuses and tore them in two. throw
ing the fragments to the floor and
grinding them under his heel.
Arima spoke. Pardon. honorable
sir, Maku say the right envelope was
taken from the safe. Maku know"
"Ha! Then it was you who were
tricked-outwitted. That American
reached the tree before you last
evening and substituted these papers
Go back to Japan, Arima. don't need
you"
Arima bowed submissively. AS for
the stranger, his rage gave way to
despair.
What shall 1 say to the EMPEROR
he muttered. What shall l say to the
emperor"
Then his feelings came again under
control; he looked calmly at Alca
trante. WELL he said, what. would
you suggest?"
Alcatrante's face was puzzle. Every
shade Of doubt, disappointment, anger
suspicion and shrewd deduction passed
over 1t. He was putting into play that
marvellous power of concentration or
subtle issues that had enabled him te
play so brilliantly the role of interna
tional under-dog. At last he smiled
and spoke.
Find the American" he said.
Suddenly there was a knock at the
door. Arima looked at his master, who
nodded indifferently and said: Eyes
see who it Is. 1t can do no harm
now"
Orme heard the door open. What
startled him first was the action OF
Poritol, who stepped back to the wall
his jaw dropping, his face a picture OF
embarrassment and fright. Alcatrante
and the stranger showed amazement
For moment they stood thus In
silence, and then from the door came a
clear voice:
What? You here, Mr.. Alcatrantei
And the Japanese Minister"
Orme almost sprang from his hiding
place. The voice was the voice Of the
girl!
