President had recommended a charge
of one dollar the registered ton OF

to fifty cents a ton on freight. Some

terror court. On the farthe. side Of
the court were the doors of the hotel
lobby. AS rule, carriages drove
through the tunnel into the court, but
Orme had not waited for this for
mality.
He started through the tunnel.
There was no one in sight. He noted
the elaborate terra-cotta decorations
of the walls. and marveled at the bad
taste which had lost sight of this op-
portunity for artistic simplicity. But
through the opening before him he
could See the fountain playing In the
center Of the court. The central fig
ure of the group, naiad, beckoned
with hand from which the water fell
in shower. The effect was not SO
unpleasing. If one wished to be
rocco. why not be altogether so? Like
the South Americans? Was their
elaborate ornamentation plastered on
to an inner steel construction? Orme
wondered
Midway of the tunnel, and at the
right as one entered, was door lead
ing into the porter's office. This door
was shut, but as Orme approached 1t,
1t noiselessly opened out He ex-
pected to see porter appear. and
when no person stepped over the sill,
he inferred that the door had been
blown open by an interior draft.
Just as he was turning out to go
around the door-whlcn shut off all
view Of him from the inner court--a
figure shot through the opening.
Before Orme could dodge, he was
seized firmly by the shoulders and
jerked into the room, with force
that sent him staggering. He tripped
over chair and went to the floor, but
quickly scrambled to his feet and
wheeled about.
Two men stood between him and
the door. which had been closed ST.

aloud, for the light that filtered
through a window from the street

II this was an ordinary robbery, the
daring of the robbers was almost IN
credible. They ran the risk that the
porter would return-if they had not
already made away with him. Only
the most desperate purpose could ex-
plain their action.
What do you want?" demanded
Orme.

the men-"queek!" He smiled an
elusive smile as he spoke.
What If / refuse?" said Orme.
Then we take. Be queek."
A call for help would hardly bring
anyone; but Orme gave a loud cry.
more to discomfort his enemies than
with any hope of rescue.
At the same instant he rushed to-
ward the door, and struck out at the
nSdTer JdpdueSe.
The blow did not land. His wrist
was caught in grip like an iron
| clamp, and he found himself perform
ing queer gyrations. The Japanese
had turned his back toward Orme and
swung the imprisoned arm over his
shoulder. A quick lurch forward, and
Orme sailed through the air, coming
down heavily on his side. His arm
] was still held, and In a few seconds
he was on his back, his assailants
astride him and smiling down into his
face.
Orme struggled to free himself, and

Japanese ~as under the back of
Orme's elbow. 4 moderate use of the
leverage thus obtained would snap the
arm like a pipe stem. This Orme
realized, as tie ceased struggling. The
strain on his arm relaxed slightly, but
the grip was maintained.
"Jiu-iitsu, explained the Japanese

the table. He produced from his own
pocket a little electric hand lamp, by
the light Of which he took rapid count
of orme's money.
His eyes glittered; wide scar on
his forehead stood out Whitley. Sud
denly he gave little cry and held up

spoke quietly to Orme

Don't gay" The Japanese smiled.
He went over to the door. Come"
he said. The man astride Orme re-
leased his hold and sprang to his feet.

Orme jumped up. Selling his
pocket book and his hat, he darted
after his assailants. At the street en-
rance to the tunnel, he looked quick
ly in both directions, but his men
were not In sight.
Pursuit was futile. Slowly he turned
back. He thought of notifying the
police, but, after all, he was none the
worse off-except for his promise to
Poritol and Alcatrante, now involun-
tarily broken. He must explain to
them as best he could. The marked
bill had been of no consequence to
him except as a focus of adventure.
And he had had about as much adven-

"Oh," she said, with little gasp of

furiously, and for the moment he
dared not try to speak.

lized him. Embodied. he had played
in game at which the others saw. It
seemed unfair-as If he had some
right to know the meaning of all these
mysterious incidents. Why had Po-
ritol wanted the bill so badly? Why
had the desire to possess it driven the
two Japanese to such extreme reas-
ures?
Orme crossed the court and entered
the lobby. The clerk looked at him
curiously.
Mr.. Orme," he said, there is q
young lady in the reception room,
waiting to see you"
"Me?" Orme looked his surprise.
Eyes, sir. She gave no name"
"Has she been waiting long?"
Nearly an hour"
Without further questioning, Orme
turned to the door of the little green
and-gold room. At the threshold he
paused in bewilderment. Arising to
meet him, smiling frankly, was the
girl Of the car.

a little booklet in Esperanto, set
