The Textile Mercury of Manchester,

workers have increased in other

According to the Mercury there are
now employed in various occupations
in the United Kingdom about 100000
females of all ages besides the 2,000,-

CHAPTER III.
A Broken Promise.

While Holton was making up his
mind to ask Miss La Tossa several
questions, her father began to do that
very thing without, apparently, wait
ing to make up his mind, as soon as
the two were within the little ante
room of their hotel suite.

The candor which was naturally part

shoulders. There was very small
doubt that he really was Lieutenant
Holton," he went on. Several of my
men recognized him. But what was
really important was why he left the

what became of the boat. That was
what / really wished to know, and

precation. He had taken her hand and
did not relinquish it, nor did she at
tempt to draw it way.
If YOU ever hear anything concern
ing me-now or i'm the future, will
you withhold judgment until-until
you ask me about it and have me ex
plain?"
Il PROMISE replied Hoiton. There
was a faint pressure ON his fingers, a
bright smile, and the next instant he
was standing alone.
AS he stood thus, someone touched
him on the arm, and glancing about
Holton was confronted by a thick-set
man in evening dress.

HOlton flushed angrily.

BY the way, do you know anything
about the young woman with whom
you were dancing?"
Who? Miss La Tossa? Oh, yes
But Holton suddenly realized how lit
tie he did know.
How well do you knew Miss La
Tossa?" the other asked suddenly.
"Oh, mere acquaintance; recent,
answered Holton.
Did you know that that young WON
an has been giving us more trouble
than all the rest put tOgether?''
Rest of what?" demanded HoIton
eagerly
Rest of the spies, Of course
Holton thought moment and then
there REQUIRED to him the girls parting
words: IF you ever hear anything
concerning me now or in the future
will you withhold judgment until you
ask me about it and have me e-plain?'
And he had promised. Well, he would
make good his word. He would have
her explain.
He turned to the Secret Service man
beside him.
What you have said is very inter
esting," he said. ''In good time may
have supplementary information"
Don't tell me you didn't know this
all the while?" smiled the detective.
I'm telling nothing" and Holton
turned away.

the incident of the waiter and the
gold-mesh bag and ending with his
