CHAPTER XIX.
A Saved Situation.

He waited impatiently for her re-
turn. Bessie, he knew, might be in
one of the rooms just across the hall,
but. though Bessie was trump, he
did not go to look for her. The girl
might come back at any moment-and
he did not wish to miss one instant
of her presence.
Again he considered the miracle of
her appearance in his life, and he re-
joiced that, from the first, he had been
able to be OF service to her. Those
loving, trusting words that she had
just spoken-how they glowed in his
heart! She had known that he would
succeed! He could only think that
the secret telegraphy of his love had
sent her messages of confidence.
And yet he did not even know her
name. The house was Just such q one
as he might have imagined to be her
home-beautiful, with the air of
longer family tradition than is COM
monty found in the middle west-un-
obtrusive but complete And the fur
nishings of the room in which he was
standing were in quiet but perfect
taste.
On a table near him lay book.
Mechanically he picked 1t up.
1t opened at the fly leaf Something
was written there-her name, per-
haps.
He closed the cover without read.
ing the inscription. conscious only of
a line of writing in a feminine hand
that might be hers or another's. No,
he could wait. The name did not
matter. She was his, and that was
enough.
Near the book lay an empty en-
yelope, addressed to-he averted his
eyes.
He found himself wondering wheth-
err Poritol was still kneeling In the
field, and whether Maku was still run
ming, and whether the Japanese min
lister was still telling charming stories
on the porch at Arradale.
And presently, when she came
again, her face radiant, and said soft
ly, "You have done great thing, my
dear"-when she said that, he could
only look and look and thank heaven
for his blessedness.
Where were the papers when you
fooled me into leaving your" she
asked.
"Arima had them. It's quite story
girl, dear
Then, wait little while" she inter
rupted; I'VE have permission to see
the papers signed"
She led him through the adjoining
room and to the curtained doorway OF
a library-long, allowed. shelved with
books, and furnished with heavy ieath
err chairs. In the center was a large

the girl; and then with suggestion
of adorable shyness, I'VE must go and
redeem that bill sometime"
The secretary was bordering. He
had listened with manifest interest,
Nterrupting now and then with ques-
lions that helped to bring out salient
points. At the report of the converse
ton between Alcatrante and the ia
panese concerning the commissions
on ships, he had leaned forward with
especial attention And now, after a
few moments Of thought, he said:
1.-The Japanese minister we can han
die. AS for Alcatrante, must see to
II that he Is recalled-and Poritol."
Poor little Mr.. Poritol!" exclaimed
the girl. do you think he is still
kneeling In that field?"
Possibly" said Orme, smiling. I'VE
will look to see when we go to redeem
the bill"
Il think, Mr.. Orme," said the secre-
tary, that may fairly give you lit
tie clearer insight into the importance
of the papers which you rescued for
us. You have seen stories of the ru-
mors of negotiations with some for
eign power?"
Yes" said Orme.
But, perhaps you have not known
of the secret but aggressive policy
which japan has lately adopted to-
ward US. The exchange OF friendly
notes few years ago might as we'll
not have occurred. If we had done
nothing TO check the tendencies in
the Pacific, we should have been at
war within another year. Only a com
plete understanding and definite agree
ment with some strong nation could
prevent hostilities. The Anglo-Jap-
anese alliance eliminated Great Brit.

Orme like a stately painting-a tab
leau distinguished by solemn dignity.
I'VE are to remain here and keep
very quiet, whispered the girl.
Orme nodded. His eyes were fixed
on the face of a man who sat at the
table, pen poised in his hand. Those
strong, straight features-the eyes,
with their look of sympathetic COM
prehension, so like the girl's-the lips,
eloquent in their calmness-surely this
was, her father. But Ormes heart
beat faster, for the face of this man,
framed in its wavy hair. was familiar
Where had he seen this man? That
they had never met, he felt certain,
unless, indeed, they had shaken hands
in casual and forgotten Introduction.
Or was he led into a feeling of rec
ignition by the undoubted resem-
blance of father to daughter? No, it
could not be that and yet this man,
or his picture-aht The recognition
came to Orme in a fash.
This was the magnetic face that was
now so often appearing in the press
the face of the great, the revered, the
able statesman upon whom rested so
great part of the burden of the coun-
try's welfare No wonder that Orme
recognized it, for it was the face Of
the secretary of state! And the girl
was his daughter
Orme was amazed to think how he
had failed to piece the facts together.
The rumors of important international
negotiations; the sudden but not Sc
rious illness of the secretary; his tenn

porary retirement from Washington
to Chicago, to be near his favorite
physician-for weeks the papers had
been full of these incidents.
When South Americans and Jap
anese combined to hinder the signing
OF mysterious papers, he should have
realized that the matter was not OF
private, but Of public Importance. But
the true significance of the events
into which he had been drawn had es-
capped his logical mind. 1t had never
occurred to him that such series Of
plots, frequent though they might be
in continental Europe, could ever be
attempted in a country like the United
States. And then, he had actually
thought of little besides the girl and
her needs.
He glanced at her now, but her gaze
was fixed on the scene before them.
The brightness of her eyes and her
quickened breathing told him how in
tense was her interest.

the scene which his action had made
possible-all for the sake of girl.
And when the last pen-stroke had
been completed and the seated men
raised their eyes and looked at each
other-looked at each other with the
responsible glance of men who have
made history-at that moment the girl
whispered to Orme: Come" and ST.

room in which he had first awaited
her.

turned and faced him, "Oh. Girl. l am
so glad"
She smiled. please wait for mo-
ment."
When she had disappeared he re-
pictured the scene they had just wit
messed With all its absence of pomp,
1t had left with him an impression
that could never be effaced.
Again the girl appeared in the door
way, and leaning on her arm was her
father. Orme stepped forward. The
secretary smiled and extended his
hand.
Mr.. Orme," he said, I'VE owe you
much. My daughter has told me
something of your experiences. You
may be sure that l had no notion,
when this affair began, that she would
have TO envelop herself and others in
so much mystery, but now that all has
ended well, l can only be thankful. y

me; am not quite strong yet. though,
as might say, very convalescent."
The girl was leaning on the back OF
her fathers chair. Tell father the

of events that began with his stroll

day before. 1T doesn't sound true

EDITOR BROWNE
OF The Rockford Morning Star.

About seven years ago I ceased
drinking coffee to give your Postum a
trial.
Il had suffered acutely from various
forms Of indigestion and my stomach
had become so disordered as to repel
almost every sort of substantial food.
My general health was bad. At close
intervals would suffer severe attacks
which confined me in bed for a week
or more. Soon after changing from
coffee to Postum the indigestion
abated, and in a short time ceased
entirely. / have continued the daily
use Of your excellent Food Drink and
assure you most cordially that am
indebted to you for the relief it has
brought me.

OF course, when a mans health
shows he can stand coffee without
trouble, let him drink 1t, but most
highly organized brain-workers sim
ply cannot.
The drugs natural to the coffee ber-
ry affect the stomach and other organs
and thence to the complex nervous
system, throwing 1t out of balance and
producing disorders in various parts
of the body. Keep up this daily pois-
oning and serious disease generally
supervenes. So when man or woman
finds that coffee is a smooth but dead
ly enemy and health is ,of any value
at all, there is but one road-quit
II Is easy to find out If coffee be the
cause of the troubles, for If left Off 10
days and Postum be used In its place
and the sick and diseased conditions
begin to disappear, the proof Is I'M
answerable.
Postum is not good II made by short
boiling. 1t must be boiled full 10 min
utes after boiling begins, when the
crisp flavor and the food elements are
brought out of the grains and the bev-
erage is ready to fulfill its mission OF
palatable comfort and renewing the
cells and nerve centers broken down
by coffee.
