Washington.-That Americans in
Germany are better off than those in
other parts of the war territory was
indicated in official dispatches to the
state department today.
Ambassador Gerard cabled from
Berlin and consuls in other parts of
Germany wired that Americans are
safe ond comfortable.
Representations demanding re-
lease of Mr.. and Mrs. Archer M. Hunt
ington, Americans, held as spies at
Nuremburg, Germany, have been
made by the state department directly
to- Berlin and by Ambassador Herrick
at Paris to Berlin by way of Rome, it
was officially announced today.
London.-ln the house of COM
mons this afternoon Premier Asquith
announced that Lord Kitchener, the
minister of war, has directed the
raising of a second volunteer army
of 100000 men.
Alsace and Belgium monopolized
the attention of the world today. In
Belgium the lines are being rapidly
drawn for the greatest battle of
modern times.
Although the censorship is rigid, it
is known that a great British and
French army is mobolizing to aid the
Belgians to retain Namur. Mean
while there is fighting along the en-
tire frontier of Lorraine and the
French are operating in force against
the Germans in Southern Alsace,
with SO far uninterrupted success.

pen to get too fresh, don't you? You

you want to. while you're thinking

"You bet your life | know whatll
happen, Crewe. You'll go up the
river"
"All right. Take it that way if
you like. But I'll have company
"You bet you'll have company!
Your whole bunch'll go with you"
"And Shannon"
"Shannon's dead"
"The Shannon isn't dead-not yet.
But he certainly is taking big
chances of being a dead one right
now. Terrence Shannon that never
had wit enough to pick a pocket and
get away with it, or courage enough
to jimmy window and climb inside,
is dead. That's no lie. But Brian
O'Shaughnessy Shannon, with the
wit and courage I've named, and
with the cunning of the devil himself
that married Jess Stacey and brought
her over here when she was too
young to know better, and that made
a crook of her, and used her forger-
les till she got pinched for it and
sent up, and that joined the police
because he thought it would give him
better chance for thieving, is
alive, and he's trying his best to look
me in the eyes this minute-and
can't!
81 don't know whether you killed
Terry, or not, but he seems to have
died mighty opportunely. And he
was your relative and you made a
goat of him. He has dom time for
you twice, for things that he didn't
do, and you did. And you were on
that train with Branton and got the
wad, somehow. And you laid it to
the other Shannon.
"And you let him die, or killed
him. Heaven knows which. And
you sent him to the morgue and will
let him go to the potter's field. And
you call yourself an Irisnman. Now,
do you go around to see the inspect
or with me and tell him it's all a
mistake? Or don't you? ?"
"You win, Crewe," Shaughnessy
replied.
81 thought | would, Shaugn."
Charlevoix county herald., 1914-06-06

was Crewe who had told Rat to
watch Jess, because Crewe had be-
lieved that the eighty-one thousand
five hundred dollars was hidden
somewhere in Jess's fiat. And Crewe
would have sent Rat to watch her
only for the purpose of entering that
fat and searching it when Jess was
absent.
Shaughnessy no longer thought
that it was Crewe who had entered
it the preceding night and stolen the
weights.
Succeeding circumstances had
worked i'm very we'll with this idea,
for had not Crewe later appeared at
the fiat and walked into it without
ringing?
Believing that Crewe would work
with the same methods that he
would employ himself, Shaughnessy
fell into the error Of supposing that
Crewe had sent Rat to shadow Jess
only because the absence OF the boy
from the street in front of the house
would inform him that Jess had gone
out
LET the kid go, Harper" he said
to the new man. 81 guess this is
none Of our affairs" and Rat. with
wide grin on his face, lost no time
in escaping from the stone building
tina. he hated. He congratulated
himself upon the wisdom Of the tale
n had made up out Of whole cloth
and told so gliblv, understanding not
at all how thoroughly it had served
to convince ShauPhnessy in regard
to two Of that officers mistaken
theories.
Later, Shaughnessy and Holder
ness went out together on their reg
ular rounds. But Shaughnessy
complained Of severe headache and
a feeling Of nausea and dizziness.
He did that by way of anticipating
an excuse to leave Holderness when
the hour should come that would en-
able him to make use of the two keys
the locksmith had made for him.
For Sbaughnessy was determined
to enter Moreaux's studio that
night.

CHAPTER XIV.
ShannOn's Ghost.

Two o'clock in the morning is the
accepted hour for burglaries.
1t was a stoop-shouldered, appar-
emily narrow-chested, and sickly in
dividual WHO, shortly after that
hour, admitted himself stealthily at
one of the doors of the tall building
where Moreaux had his studio, using
a key that had been made for him
by a locksmith on First Avenue. He
was a few minutes late in passing
inside, because he had waited in the
shadow of a doorway opposite until
he was. assured that nobody was
near to observe his act.
He used the door that opened upon
the "other" street-that one through
which MoreauX passed when he
chose to disappear"
The building was tall and narrow
and long, extending through the
block. 1t was fire-proof, and there
was no night-watchman or night ele-
vator service, nor were there lights
in the corridors until the intruder,
weary from the effort of his long
climb, snapped off the one that
glowed from a single bulb on the top
floor.
To him that one incandescent was
sufficient proof that Moreaux was
within the studio. TIL bright light
of it shone full upon the mans face
for one instant before he extin-
guished it. The glare of it revealed
as impressions behind the foot
lights at theater are revealed-hol
low cheeks and sunken eyes glowing
brightly N darkened depths, un-
kempt hair and soiled linen and mis-
shapen, wrinkled clothing that would
have been il, fairly good condition
but for the need of pressing-cloth-
int less worn, but otherwise exact
ly like that which covered the dead
Shannon when they found him.
If the conductor of that twelve
forty train out of New York three
DAYS ago who collected the fare from
Shannon between Monterey and the
next station beyond could have
glimpsed this man when he snapped
off that light, he would have pro-
nounced him the same person-not
aware that the man who had paid
his fare that day was supposed to
be dead; or, if he had been aware
of it, he might reasonably have been
startled.
Shannon's ghost it was-the real
Shannon-in other words, Brian
O'Shaughnessy Shannon, for whom
the dead one had suffered and vast
ed his life and gone to prison-and
died; Shannon, the shadow, the wise
guy, the double-crosser, the discov-
erer of that forgotten Herald and its
contents; who had entered a car of
that train as G.. Mortimer Branton
left it at the opposite end who had
passed him behind the uniformed po-
liceman and lodged his own side
partner. Holderness, III passing
through the station from the Occi-
dental Express to the street that
day.
1t was the same Shannon who had
opened the white envelope in the
locked room and found the money,
and who had said to his own reflec-
ton in the cracked mirror: you're
dead. Goodby, Shannon. We part
here.
But, all the same. this man who
had stood for an instant beneath the
glare of the light was Shaughnessy;
and if Moreaux, or Crewe, or Hold
erness, had seen him then, they
Charlevoix county herald., 1914-06-06

would have recognized him, notwlth-
standing the family purple pigment
that followed his cheeks and sunk
his eyes, and in spite Of the stain
that discolored his teeth and blocked
out three of them, and the wig of un,
kempt, reddish hair that was several
shades lighter than his own close
cropped thatch.
But Shaughnessy could not COM
NIT burglary in his plain-clothes at
tire, which was as pronounced In It's
individuality as a brass-buttoneo
uniform, any more than a Berry
Wall could have gone to his break
fast at ten in the morning arraye0)
in dress suit.
He waited after he had turned of
the light in the corridor. His rub
ber-soled shoes gave forth no sound
when he advanced to the door that
drew him as magnet attracts steel.
The key did not CRATE when he
pushed it slowly into the socket, nor
the hinge creak when he passed in
side and closed the door silently be-
hind him.
He stood, for long time just in 4
side the door, listening and heard
nothing but the noises of the street
outside. He had no need of the
electric flash he had provided. The
large, slanting studio window and
the sky-glow of the city afforded
enough. He would have preferred
less, and to have made use of the
flash.
Continued next week.

Click went the instrument, and he
knew that the receiver at the other
end of the wire had been replaced on
the hook. Ii he could have sent sud
den death over that wire into the
studio he would have done it then.
He got Central again, but after re-
peated trials the operator calmly in
formed him the receiver must
haze been left down at the number
ne wanted.
IN the street again he thought Sc
riously of returning to the studio and
attacking the door, knowing all the
such an act would only rebound to
his own discredit. But he did go up
and wal. outside the studio door un-
I'll few minutes after five o'clock,
hoping that one of them or both of
them would come out.
Before he came away he pounded
upon the door and called, but there
was nc response of any sort, and he
fied-fled is the proper word to de-
scribe his condition Of going-to the
Subway and thence across town to
the locksmith's. He came out again
after moment, returned to the flat,
and replaced the wax squares in the
same condition, wrapper and all, as
he had discovered them. 1t was evil
dent that Jess had not returned
there since his own departure.
A locked door won't keep me out
of that studio tonight" he told him
self as he FASTENED to keep the APP
pointment with Crewe; "and if

He did not complete the sentence.
