nerve gave way in face of the steady
eye and hand, and he confessed the
why and wherefore he had sought the.
keyhole of Servants room.

man. All am here for is to take

nothing about your private feuds.
Now, get out. But keep out Of my
way; I am not a peaceful man"
The spy tumbled out as he had
tumbled in, by an act Of gravity; and
Servan was alone, He spent two
days in comparative idleness. Then
things began to wake up.
For long time the leather box
across which was inscribed STANLEY
Hargreave" lay in peace undisturbed.
A busy spider had woven trap
across the handle to the quaint lock.
The box was still badly stained from

was again locked and lowered; and
presently the spider returned to find
that his cunning trap had been to.

tience of his kind he began the weav.
ing of another trap. Perhaps this
would be more successful than its
predecessor.
Later Henri Servan received a tele
phone call. He was informed that his
purpose in America would be real
tied by his presence at such and such
box that night at the opera. Fur
Their information could not be given
over the telephone. Servan seemed
we'll satisfied He dressed carefully
that evening, called up the office clerk
and inquired if his box tickets for the
opera had arrived. He was informed
that they had. Instantly the spy, who
had dared to linger about the hotel.

mined to notify Braine at once. And
at the same time, Norton, in disguise;
determined not to lose sight of this

watch,
The SPY left by one entrance and

What he desired: that the Russian
agent would be followed to the opera
and that it was going to be difficult

the man came out he strolled up the
street and entered the nearest saloon.
Jin's work was done
