Count di Rosini. the italian ambas-
sador, is at dinner with diplomats when

bassy, where a beautiful young woman
asks for ticket to the embassy ball.
The ticket is made out in the name of
Miss Isabel Thorne. Chief Campbell of
the secret service. and Mr.. Grimm, his
head detective, are warned that a plot Is
brewing in Washington. and Grimm goes
to the state ball for information. His at
tention is called to Miss Isabel Thorne,
who with her companion, disappears. A
shot is heard and Senior Alvarez of the
Mexican legation. is found wounded.
Grimm Is assured Miss Thorne did it; he
visits her. demanding knowledge of the
affair. and arrests Pietro Petrozinni. Miss
Thorne visits an old bomb maker, and they
discuss a wonderful experiment. Fifty
thousand dollars is stolen from the office
Of Senior Rodriguez, the minister from
Venezuela. and while detectives are in
vestigating the robbery Miss Thorne APP
pears as guest of the legation. Grimm
accuses her of the theft; the money is
restored but a new mystery occurs in
the disappearance Of Monsieur Boissegur
the French ambassador. Elusive Miss
Thorne reappears bearing a letter which
states that the ambassador has been kid
mapped and demanding ransom. The am
baSsador returns and again strangely dis
appears. Later he is rescued from an old
house In the suburbs. 1t is discovered
that Pietro Petrozinni shot Senior Alvarez
and that he is Prince d'Abruzzi. Grimm
hgures In a mysterious Jail delivery. He
orders both Miss Thorne and d'Abruzzi
