Mr.. Grayman's words what the trap
would be, because the millionaire did
not know himself.
When I reached Secretary Gran
tham's Office In response to an impcra-
tive I had not the remotest
idea of what 1t meant.
Lieutenant Allan" he began, 81

heard good reports of you, and 1 don't
mind telling you now that l have
formed a good opinion Of you. I am
about to put you to the test. I am
come to think hat you can hold your
tongue"
The secretary had never spoken to
me like that before.
81 believe / can, sir"
Every good. 1t is quite necessary In
this case. The daughter of William
Grayman, the New York Millionaire,
has been stolen by the pirate Alfonso
Payton. 1 want you to find her and
to capture or kill him"
1t was indeed a thunderbolt. For a
minute l did not know what to say.
At last I stammered:
But, Mr.. Grantham, how can l n
herr
did you not tell me not long ago
about an invention OF yours for find
ing INDICATED origins or something
Of that kind?"
II believe 1 did, sir" I replied, a
CLEAN Of intelligence as to his drift
coming into my mind.
II thought so. Well, an opportunity
is now presented to try the value of
your invention. You know probably
that Mr.. Grayman is my particular
friend. Everybody'-wlth q smile
''seems to be aware of that. / am go
ing to aid him to find his daughter
and to punish her abductor with all
the power Of the service, and l am
going to put you In command, under
my personal directions"
but what shall l dor
Listen" Then he went on to tell
me of the abduction, Of the demand
made upon Mr.. Grayman, Of the com
munications from Payton, Of the abor-
tive enterprise of the police and OF b
apparent impossibility Of locating the
scoundrel and his prisoner.

CHAPTER TX.
AN oBLIaING SECRETARY.


A LFONsO PAXTON had played
~ his master card, and If he
could judge by Mr.. Gray
mans conduct hitherto 1t had
an excellent chance of winning. But
in William Grayman he had IN an
~tagonist who, like himself, had never
known final defeat and whose recent
experience had already made him wise
in this game, so new to him.
The secretary of the treasury, Mr..
Grantham, was his intimate friend.
The newspapers had raised a scandal
from time to time about their associa-
tons and had accused the complaisant
secretary of sharing in the proceeds
of the b|illionaire's combinations. Moth
ing, however, was ever proved against
Mr.. Grantham, and he paid no atten-
lion to the attacks or the gossip.
On the very morning Of the receipt
IF Payton's letter and after the bill
honaire had made his decision the sec
letary, being in New York, called in
)ognito at Mr.. Grayman's Office. The
business that he had been thinking of
was driven from his mind as soon as
his friend began to speak.
"Grantham,' said Grayman, IT am
N terrible trouble. My daughter Helen
has been carried of by the sky pirate
Alfonso Payton, who has her conceal
ed somewhere and demands $4,000
100 ransom"
1Sood God?' cried the secretary.
Are you in earnest2"
TERRIBLY In earnest, Grantham, and
[ want you to help me. The police
tried to trap him and made a misera-
bic hasco, nearly getting me into the
same box. In fact, the fellow did car
ry me of In his aero, but released me
on my promise to meet him again"
Mr.. Grayman proceeded to relate, de-
tail after detail, all that had happened.
In conclusion he said: You have ask
ed me what you can do. You have all
the government aeros engaged in the
revenue service under your control,
and 1 suppose that they are the best
in the world. You also have an army
of trained men and the best detectives.
What can you not do to run this fell
low DOWN."
The secretary reflected.
"Well," he said finally, 81 am sorry,
Grayman, that you didn't tell me of
this at the beginning. But 1 think
that 1 can help you aud, of course, I
will. Luckily, there comes to my
memory a young man in our service
who, 1 believe, is just the person we
need. He has proved himself extra

"a slightest clew as to where the
~s "~ pirate had established his
headquarters.
ut Is just here" he said, that your
invention ought to prove invaluable.
The first thing to do is to find out
where he harbors. That once known,
I will give you plenty Of help to run
him down."
"TH try it, sir" I replied promptly.
And you'll not disappoint me- he
returned with a most engaging smile.
"Get your apparatus into shape at
once. I'll see that you are from this
moment detailed for special service.
As soon as you can get ready come to
see me here, and Wen discuss the de-
tails"
I hurried to my boarding place and
overhauled my all but forgotten ap-
paratus.
I shall not give a long description of
it because the majority Of readers
would not understand the technical
details. The principle, however, was
quite simple.
The object being to locate the origin
of the electric waves used in ethereal
telegraphy and telephony, the first es-
sential was to determine their dlrec-
ton of transmission. This I had eff
fected by means Of a most delicate
needle, which had the property Of set
ting itself exactly at right angles to
the axis of the incoming waves. If
the latter radiated in all directions
from a center it was only necessary
to place two Of my instruments a long
distance apart and note their indica-
tons. I can make this clearer with
tho aid nf Nttle die era m-thua.

From his spies in Washington he
had learned all he needed to know
about the Mitchells. AS soon as Miss
Grayman's letter should be in her ia
theirs hands he would be ready for his
next stroke.
No pen can suggest the amazement,
p%erplexity, anger and despair Of the
Millionaire when he received Helen's
letter bearing the postmark Charlotte,
n. c."
PAXTON had gone far out Of his way
to post the letter in order to give a
false idea of the direction in which his
mysterious lodge lay.
Mr.. Graymar had all confidence in
his daughter, but he knew her roman
tic nature, and now she was evidently
completely deceived.
He recalled what Payton had told
him about Helen's deception concern
ing his name and character, and with
a sinking heart he remembered the fell
lows handsome face and fascinating
speech and bearing. The bare thought
Of his daughter taking an interest in
this ~unspeakable scoundrel drove him
wild.
But the next day came the climax.
In opening his mail he found a letter
posted at Wheeling, w. Va, which
read thus:
Aero Yacht Chameleon. IN the Air.
Mr.. William Grayman:
Dear Mr.. Grayman-since I parted from
you In Central park after our delightful
ride together I nave made good progress
In the esteem Of your daughter Helen. 1t
is a great qualification to me that, backed
by the powerful approval Of her father, l
find myself persona grata with the young
lady, and I know that I h grow rapid
IL IN her favor, Indeed, I am become SO
bold as to entertain hopes the fulfllment
Of which would give me a place In the
world and in society which I could never
otherwise have expected to occupy. I am
aware that she has written to you, but
what she wrote of course I do not know,
but / nave good reason to believe that If
! did know l should AVE no cause to feel
disappointed
Now, my dear Mr.. Grayman, 1t may &C.
cur to you that the only way in which you
can arrest the current is by keeping your
agreement and arranging for the payment
OF the ten millions. Only that sum could
compensate me for the defeat OF hopes so
brilliant. I trust that you viii turn this
matter over In your mind 18th your Gus
