He well knew what to do should
complications ensue. There were dark
cells in Sing Sing for convicts the
warden could decide to be unruly.
These were damp. dark cells below
The level Of the rushing river. relics
IF years when the state had little
money and little thought for those
t'ld to have broken its laws There
were cells with "straitjackets," where
a man could be trussed up with straps
fixed to the walls. like a sucking pig
in a market window. only his toes
touching the floor. Anyway No. 1889
was already discredited.
"Get Valentine" he gruffly said to
Smith. ''Well. governor" he contin-

were visitors present, No. 1889 stood
before the warden with his eyes di-
rected toward the floor. His shout

height. with n figure which yet bore
indications that he had been athletic
in his free days. When he had en-

Rose Lane smiled complacently Into
the lieutenant governors face.
Handlers face became red-a deep
red that threatened any moment TO
merge into a rich grape purple hue.

British Admiralty
Accused of Plotting
to Blow Up Harbor

COLOGNE. Dec. 1S-The Rhenish West
phalian Zeitung publishes a story OF an
alleged discovery of a plan on the part
of Great Britain to blow up Wilhelms-
haven.
The Zeitung processes TO have received
its information from one of the best in
formed officials, who said that the postal
authorities, becoming suspicious of re-
peated money orders in favor of deck
officers and chief mates, finally seized
some of the letters passing through the
postal department.
These showed that the plans to the en-
frances to Wilhelmsnaven war harbor, as
well as plans of the water supply and
the contents of-the secret code book. had
been betrayed to the British admiralty.
The paper points out that with such in
formation at its command, Great Britain
could blow up the entrances TO the war
harbor at the decisive moment, rendering
the harbor utterly useless and leave Ger
many, at the very beginning of war; help
less to defend itself at sea.
To prevent the threatened danger, the
Zeitung continues, German squadron re-
mained for weeks on patrol duty. Recent
conferences between the emperor, the
minister Of marine, the chief of the ad
miralty and the chief of the marine de
partment, dealt with this danger.

British admiralty has secured plans OF tn
locks and water supply and the secre

Idea in event of war of blowing up thu

romance.
