N3w, get out. But keep out Of my
way; I am not a peaceful man."
THE spy tumbled out as he had
tuinbled in, by an act Of gravity; and
SeFvan was alone. He spent two
days in comparative idleness. Then
things began to wake up.
L.
Eor a long time the leather box
acrPss which was inscribed STANLEY
Hafgreave" lay in peace undisturbed.
A busy spider had woven q trap
acrbss the handle to the quaint lock.
The box was still badly stained from
it's immersion in the salt water. At
a dertain time 1t was quietly with
DRAWN from its hiding place. It was
stealthily opened. A&hand reached In
and when it withdrew a packet OF,
papers was also withdrawn, The box
was again locked and lowered; and
presently the spider returned to find
that his cunning trap had been to-
tally destroyed. With the infinite pa
tiente of his kind he began the weav-
ing of another trap. Perhaps this
would be more successful than Its
predecessor.
Later Henri Seryan received a tele-
phone call. He: was Informed that his
purpose in America would be real
lied by his presence at such and such
a box that night at the opera. Fur
Their Information could not be given
over the telephone. Seryan 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,
o~verhearing this conversation, deter
mined to notify Braine at once. And
at the same time, Norton, in disguise,
determined not to lose sight of this
man whom he had set himself to-
watch. &a n .iHs
The spy left by one entrance and
Jim by another. Jim had learned
what. he desired: that the Russian;
agent would be followed to the opera
and that it wa going to be difficult
to hand the documents to him. The
spy entered a, drug store and tele.
phoned. Jim waited outside. When
the man came out he strolled up the
street. and entered the nearest saloon.
Jim's work was done.
1t was Braine's lieutenant, however,
who took the news to Braine.

"Good!" said Braine.
"He will 60 to the opera. He will
have a box. Doubtless they have ar
ranged to deliver the papers there"
"And the next thing is to get the
number Of his box" This Braine had
