The man took letter from his
pocket and handed it to Olga, saying:

how to read it."
Before she could reply the man had
turned and was hurrying away.
Olga opened the note her heart
beating furiously. 1t was utterly
blank. At first she thought it was a
hoax. Then she happened to remem-
Der that there was such thing as in

waiter, made a secret sign, and he

the letter into his hand and whis-

meant for Hargreave."

Braine was in Boston over night,
otherwise the countess would have
taken the mysterious note at once to
him. She remained for perhaps a
quarter of an hour longer and then left
the garden. She would have taken the
letter to her own apartment but for
the fact that the chemicals needed
were hidden in the cave
Now it happened that Florence went
out for her early ride the next morn
ing, and crossing a field she saw a
man with a bundle under his arm.
The sun struck his profile and limned
it plainly, and Florence uttered low
! cry. The man had not observed her.
So, very quietly, she slipped from the
horse, tethered it to tree, and started
after the man to learn what he was
doing so far from the city. She would
never forget that face. She had seen
it that dreadful night when the note
had lured her into the hands of her
! enemies. The face belonged to the
man who had impersonated her father.
1t occurred to her that she might

through so many terrifying episodes
that she was beginning to crave for

seem. Like a gambler who has once
played for high stakes, she no longer
| found pleasure in thimbles and needles

no little skill and at length saw him

press a spring, and hole suddenly
yawned. The man vanished quickly,
and the spot took on again it's vir-
ginal appearance, A cave. Florence
had the patience to wait. By and by
the man appeared again and skunk

AREGUARANTEES
OF NEUTRALITY
BY The United Press.

BY The United Press.
WASHINGTON, March 23-With
two destroyers and the revenue cut
ter Algonquin guarding the harbor
al San Juan, Porto Rico, officials we're
confident today that there would be
no further breaches OF neutrality
there.
II was expected by the Department
OF Justice that the German steamer
Odenwald which tried to run to sea
Sunday, would be libelled today. Or
ders TO secure the necessary court
action were sent to the district al
torney at San Juan by Attorney Gen
eral Gregory last night.
Secretary Of War Garrison and
Secretary of the Navy Daniels have
ordered their respective departments
to cooperate with the collector of
customs in safeguarding American
neutrality on the island
Reports that the Germans utilized
certain sections of the Porto Rican
coast in connection with the operation
of their warships and commerce
destroyers in West Indian waters,
were discredited here today. War
department officials said that every
place where a boat might land was
under guard by the Porto Rican
troops and it was emphatically denied
in administration circles that there
had been any violation of neutrality
to date or that. with the precautions
taken, there could be any in the near
future
Though the closest watch is being
kept on all Atlantic ports where Ger
man liners are interned. officials said
they have no fear that these vessels
will try to put TO sea illegally. Mos
Of them are very valuable and theii
owners would hardly risk forfeitur,
unless there was much TO be gained
/ by doing so. There is danger, how
ever, that small tramp steamers ma,
try to escape under false nantes
with arms, ammunition and supple
for German commerce raiders. Thi
is the one thing President Wilson ha
ordered the collectors most strictly I
guard against.

INQUIRIES
ABOUT Sentence
FOR HIS crime
Told Probable Date by the
WOrkhouSe Warden, and
Again Becomes Silent
Gets bible TODAY
FROM PRISON KEEPERS

Peter Krakus. convicted murderer of
Patrolman Francis Y. Tierney. broke
his silence while en- route to the
county workhouse following his con-
viction in the Oyer and Terminer
Court yesterday afternoon, when ad-
dressing Warden Crawford in fairly
good English, he asked: when will
be sentenced?" Warden Crawford
told him the probable date and moth
ing more was said by the convicted
man. On arriving at the workhouse,
Kralkus ate a hearty supper. He re-
tired about 3 o'clock and at $50
O'Clock this morning he awoke. When
told to dress Krakus said he would.
He had a hearty breakfast and ap-
peared to be unconcerned as to his fu-
ture..
Krakus was furnished a Bible and
magazines by the workhouse guards
today.
Chief of Police Black is planning to
visit Krakus within the next few days
and endeavor 10 get him to talk about
the murder of the Rev. Joseph Ze-
brows in New Britain, Conn. It is
thought the convicted man may talk
Of the case when he understands that
all hope of escaping without serving
time or paying the death penalty for
the shooting of Officer Tierney is
gone.
Those who we're present at the trial
during the past two days and Observ-
ed the demeanor of Krakus, were inn
pressed by his utter lack of interest
in the case even when the jury an
nounced its verdict of guilty of first
degree murder in court yesterday af-
ternoon.
Krakus looked at the jury as they
filed into the courtroom, but as they
took their seats. he gazed at the fiool
and not one OF his muscles appeared
to move as the verdict was pronounc

Several other machines were dam

The fire started on the second floor
of the building, while workmen were
repairing the Griffin truck. An alarm
of fire was sent in and the Aetna fire

The blaze was extinguished after
