Since the first public report that

checked. owners of sailing vessels en-
gagged in export trade nave gradually
been increasing their rates, and today
it cests between S45 and $50 per thou

With the announcement coming
from Berlin on yesterday that the Ger

a memorandum TO neutral govern
ments, announcing that hereafter all
armed merchantmen belonging TO

considered and treated as warships, a
further increase is expected. Ship
owners are somewhat nervous when
they think of sending a spick and span
boat out on the Atlantic when they
realize that German cruiser, having
all the appearances of an innocent
merchant vessel, is likely to pounce
upon it. They want money for taking
such a risk. and they are getting it.

THE ToMAHAWK, WHITE EARTH. MIMI.

"Have you any ie.ea where we could
find his campo"
The railroad man laughed.
Fine chance you got of finding any
thing in that swamp. It's my notion
he must have had houseboat."
On the following day they located
the houseboat. 1t was deserted. With
in it's single room was uttermost
confusion, testifying to the sim.
plest kind Of housekeeping sharply
terminated. Attempt had been made
to burn the boat. In heap of rub
bish, where the fire had apparently
started, Average Jones found, first, a
Washington newspaper, which he
pocketed; next, with swelling heart,
the wreck of the pasteboard cabinet,
but no sign of the strange valise which
had held it. The mercy" sign was
gone from the cabinet, its place being
supplied by a placard, larger, In a
different handwriting, and startlingly
more specific:
"Danger! If Found Destroy at Once.
LIZ NOI IOuSii WIFI DSIC I1dNUSs
There was nothing else. Gingerly,
Average Jones detached the sign. The
cabinet proved to be empty. He
pushed a rock into it, lifted it on the
end Of a stick and dropped it over
board. One after another eight little
fishes glinted up through the water,
surned their white bellies to the sun
light and bobbed, motionless.
Some days after the recovery Of the
houseboat, Average Jones sat at break
fast, according to his custom, in the
cafe Of the Hotel Palatia. In the issue
Of the Washington daily, culled from
the houseboat, there was no marked
passage to show any reason for it's
having Deen in the possession of
Smith" Average Jones had studied
and restudied the columns, until he
knew them almost by heart. During
the period of waiting for his order to
be brought he was brooding over the
problem, when he felt a hand-pressure
on his shoulder and turned to confront
Mr.. Thomas Colvin Mcintyre, fifth as
sistant secretary of state of the
United States Of America.
Hello! What have you been up
to that's scandalous?"
ut isn't me-" replied the diplomat
ungrammatically. ''It's Telfik Bey.'
The Tomahawk., 1916-04-20

THAT'S what I'm here to get at
My instructions are to find out secret
ly, if at all, for reasons. which-ah-
not being for the public, l need not
detail to YOU
"You need not, in point of fact, tell
me anything about it at ALL" observed
Average Jones equally.
Pomposity fell away from Mr..
Thomas Colvin Mcintyre, leaving him
palpably shivering.
AT any rate i can trust you," he
said. 'Teltik Bey is not merchant.
He is secret, confidential agent of the
Turkish government. He came over
to New York from Washington in
spite of warnings that he would be
killed. Come up with me and look
the place over, Average. Let me send
for the manager
That functionary came, a vision Of
perturbation in pale-gray coat. Upon
assurance that Average Jones was
safe" he led the way to the rooms
so hastily vacated by the spirit of the
Turkish guest.

the manager morosely, when the
Turkish embassy reserved the apart
ment-"
'The Turkish embassy never re-
served any apartment for Telfik Bey,"
put in the fifth assistant secretary Of
state.

piled the hotel man. Il saw their
emissary myself. He specified for
rooms on the south side, either the
third or fourth floor. Wouldn't have
anything else.'

tion?" asked Jones.
Yes; 1886 and $685.
HAS the man been here since?"
Not to my knowledge"
"Anything about him strike you
particularly"
well, he was tall and thin and
looked sickly. He talked very soft,
too, like sick man."

interrogator's mind. Had he-er-

manager indicated spot near the
wall of the sitting room and opposite
the window. HE had just pushed
the button when he fell. Bronson, the
bellboy on that call, answered. He
knocked several times and got no an
swer. Then he opened the door and
saw Mr.. Telfik down, all in a heap"
+ "What-er-about the-er-shot?"
The manager looked startled. well,

Bronson ran out and fell, in sort of

to tell his story. Then he got terribly
nauseated and went off again"
Had anyone else been in the room
or past it within few minutes?'
Absolutely no one. The floor girl
must have seen anyone going in. She
heard the shot. And a minute or two
before, she heard and felt jar from

"Corroborative of the man having
fallen before the shot," commented
Jones.
when got here, five minutes later,
he was quite dead" continued the
manager.
Evidence of the explosion was slight
to the investigating eye of Average
Jones. The wall showed an abrasion,
but, as the Investigator expected, no
bullet hole. Against the leg of a desk
he found a small metal shell, which
he laid on the table.
There's your bullet" he observed
with smile.

street, "is by train, to the place where
the fake Smith has been doing little

me crazy"
Plumbing nervously in the pocket
of his creaseless white waistcoat he
brought forth a death notice.
From the DIAL" he said, handing it
to Average Jones.
The clipping looked conventional
enough:

Hotel Palatia-Telfik Bey of Stamboul,
Turkey. Funeral services from the Tur-
kish embassy, Washington, on Tuesday.

The young diplomat stopped short be-
fore the enormity of the hypothesis.
1T looks straight enough to me as
death notice, except for the tail.
What does Ana Alhari' mean? Sort

Eyes; like a mice!" said young Mr..
Mcintyre bitterly. 1T means 'Hur-
rah!' That's the sort of requiescat

"Ah! Then they got him the second
time. The Washington incident, of
course, was the first; the attempted
murd- that is, the narrow escape of
Telfik Bey."
Young Mr.. Mcintyre looked baf-
fed. I'm blessed if I know what
you're up to, JONES'" he said. But if
you do know anything of this case
need your help. In Washington, where
they failed, we fooled the newspapers.
Here, where they've succeeded"
who are 'they'?" interrupted Jones.
The Tomahawk., 1916-04-20

Mr.. A. v. r. r Jones-Average Jones,
his friends called him-was tired of spend
ing his dead uncle's millions in New York
and doing nothing more, and craved to
take part in the dynamic activities Of life.
At the suggestion Of the owner of an i'm
portant and decent newspaper, he opened
offices in AstOr court and went in for fol-
lowing up queer advertisements and trac-
ing down fraudulent advertisers.

vizualized print in small headlines, re-
produced to the minds eye from the
Washington newspaper which he had
so exhaustively studied.
