She laid her hand on his shoulder
with a friendly pressure. You'll have
to wait here while longer-and youll
have to keep mighty quiet. I've got a
circle at three oclock-a seance.

she was away A moment later he
heard her talking with Arima, who ap-
parently had again climbed up to her
window.
Thief must be here" said Arima.
HE not been hall. My friend know.
We see him come in here"
II told you he wasn't here. II you
don't believe me, why don't you call
the cops?"
1--WE not want cops I come in and

But I'm going to hold circle here
In few minutes"

"A seance The spirit come. You
know. All sit around, with the light

"Ohv' The Japanese either under

After period of hesitation the wom-

too. You're a neighbor, and l won't
charge you anything"
"All right. l call my friend" Foot
steps crossed the room and the door
to the hall was opened. Presently IL
closed again, and Orme heard frag-
ments of a conversation in Japanese.
From other sounds Orme gathered
that the woman was arranging chairs.
"Sit here, you two" he heard her say.
You'll have to keep quiet when the
rest come Do just what they do? Be
sure, now"
The bell now began to ring at fire.
uuent intervals, each. time announcing
the arrival of newcomers. Madam
Alias clients were quickly assembling,
Orme could hear them whispering
among themselves.
A clinking noise he did not at first
understand. Then he realized that 1t
was the sound of silver dropping into
a hat. Some one was taking up the
collection. He knew, too, when they
hung the curtain across his corner OF
the room, shutting off the space in
which the medium was to sit, and
when they lighted the gas and drew
down the shades at the window. Then
he heard them lead her into the cab
met and tie her to the chair.

mediums outfit. She was fraud, but
he liked her-yes, pitied her-and he
felt inclined to excuse her in so far as
he could. For the kiss which he had
given her he felt no regret; 1t 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
agency of 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 child in
stature beside the girl-a child with
warnings 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 had
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 that
was part of the loneliness of her-she
was a very human girl.
The panel swung open, and Madam
Ala. stood looking down at him. She
spoke in an undertone.
The Japs are still watching. Arima
is sitting on the fire escape by his
window. and can hear the other fel
low moving around in the hall outside
my door | think they're on to YOU
being here"
Orme thought for minute. 1--WE got
to get away soon," he said. Il don't
mind telling you that there are papers
that must be delivered before twelve
o'clock tonight"
Can take them for you?"
II don't know where to tell you tc
take them"
She sighed. 81 guess you don't trust
me-"
Trust you? OF course, do. But the
truth is, Madam Ala, that it is going
to need hard work on my part to find
the person to whom the papers belong
| don't even know his name" Secretly
he condemned himself now, because he
had not overcome his scruples and
looked at the address on the envelope
while he had the chance.
Again she sighed. well" she said,
"of course, it's beyond me. Do you
do you mind my knowing your name?'
Pardon me-" he said. 81 didn't rea-
lie that you didn't know it already.
My name is Robert Orme."
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1911-02-10

YES" she answered, 81 understand
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. 1--WE have not failed
yet" said Alcatrante in French. THE
girl does not know where the 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, it no longer seemed nee
essary. We-you and I-still have the
same object in view. I 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. II am
honored by your cooperation thus far.
He bowed formally.
Alcatrante returned the bow and
beckoning to Poritol, left the 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 a little gesture Of authority, he
put on his hat and walked out. The
door closed after him with a slam.
Arima, now alone, seated himself in
a chair and appeared to mediate
Again his hands were clasped about
his knees and his beady eyes fixed on
space. For fully fifteen minutes he
sat thus; then with little clucking
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 after
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? 1t all
depended upon what part Of the next
room Arima was in; but the window
seemed safer, for the opening and
closing of the door would be sure to
attract attention.
Orme moved toward the window
slowly, watching the opening through
which Arima had disappeared. He got
halfway to the window; three more
steps would bring him to the sill. And
then, without warning. Arima leaped
into the room. Even in that moment
Orme caught a glimpse of mirror in
the farther room, and knew that the
Japanese had seen his reflection.
At this instant another man ap-
peared, close behind Arima. A band
age was wrapped around his head. 1t
was Maku, who presumably had been
in the apartment all the time.
Orme stood little chance Of over
coming the two. Quick as cats, with
muscles like steel springs and great
variety of scientific tricks of offense
and defense, they could handle him as
they willed in a direct encounter. If

followed an even three hours of unin-

good many on the floor who knew
within one or two of what the roll call
would reveal. In spite of the GER
tainty that nothing was to be gained
by it the debate was arranged, talked
out and finally finished to the entire
satisfaction of the county optionists.

put up fine show and kept their
