CHAPTER XVI. i
The Success of the Spies.


 \ S night came Jim sat up straight
 and loohed abous. Many were
 EA unable to sleep. A boyI acrosn
 from him was opening an eIs velope, which had been opened before. and was taking out letter to reread; it was a girls handwriting: Jim could see that He had Agnes last letter in bis pocket, but he had no impulse at all to reread it.
 - A few men were passing up and down tile aisles. There was one boy with a remarkably handsome and sen sitive face, with thick black Aair cut short, and with excellent eyes. He wore the loose blouse and knicker- lockers and puttees of an aviator's costume. As he went by Jim watched hip curiously. He did not belong to -the battalion, but Jim had heard that volunteer dviators. would join the regi- yment when it took to the field. Evi- dentlv this was one of the amateur aviators who had volunteered for such service The boy went forward through tbe train and then returned. Jim got "a better look at his faccApow, and he sat up straighter; suddenly. The boy, glancing at Jim, also seemed to start, but if he did he immediately recov- cred himself and went on Jim jumped up and stood staring down the aisle. He knew that boy; he was sure of it. But where had be seen him before, and under what circumstances? AJfm's pulses were pounding. He certainly knew that face, and, though he could not place it yet, the semi-recognition stirred him with hot alarm. Surely he had seen that boy before. Ah, now he knew! He had seen him. but not . as 6 boy. That was girl when Jim last saw her-a girl in an evening gown and with her heavy hair, uncut, dressed in the latest fashion; she was the girl who laughed at him as he pointed his revolver to frfghten her, and who dared him to shoot her as she advanced upon him when he backed toward the window in the house of the spies! 7
 She reached the end of the car, and as she opened the door she glanced hack casually and saw him standing and staring at her; she hesitated q moment as though to make sure she was the object of his attention, then she went through the door and let 1t close behind her. Jim hurried down the aisle and dashed after her into the vestibdle between the coaches; he crossed the platforms to the door of the next coach to the rear before he saw that the girl had not gone further; she was standing quietly at the side of the platform of the rear ] car with. her back to the door, which, when the trap over the steps was lifted, opened to the side of the train. There was the customary light in the vestibule which showed her eGpres- sion clearly. r Good evening!' she nodded pleas antly to him as he turned toward her.
 Good :, evening!'' ho returned, amazed.
 l This is awfully hot" she said, un- buttoning her blouse at the throat and

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
WAS UNDER RESTRAINT
Trading Was More Restricted in Its
 Activity and Breadth.

New York, May 2.-Stocks were un- der steady restraint today, the pro feSsional element reversing it's more optimistic attitude of recent sessions on the theory that prices had made sufficient recovery in the present un certain status of foreign affairs. In fact, the absence of dfienite advices from Berlin and Mexico was unfavor- ably construed.
 Trading at no time approached yes though Marines were again in the foreground with the difference, how ever, that both were freely offered. Marine preferred made an extreme de- cline of ? 1-2 from it's high price of the previous day and the common yielded a substantial fraction.
 As a group, Mexicans were among the weakest stocks, Mexican Petro- leum losing Is points with two for American Smelling. The motor group constituted another heavy element, selling concentrating largely about Stakeholder, which recorded an ex- treme loss of 4 IA points.
 Irregular declines were made by Crucible Steel, American and Baldwin Locomotives, American Car and Dis tiIling shares. Coppers were one to two points lower and other metal is- sues denoted pressure.
 U. S. Steel seemed subject to the same oppressive influences that have checked that stocks course during the past fortnight, though falling only 1 Is at most. Minor industrials and equipments followed the general trend on light dealings
 Rails moved contrarily, Reading, which again led that division, mani festing heaviRess. together with other coalers, while New York Central Union Pacific and St. Paul were better by fractions to a point. Additional favorable railway returns for March were submitted but they failed to ex- cite more than passing interest. To- tai sales amounted to 635,000 shares. Sterling rates were unchanged, but other foreign remittances were more variable than usual. Marks rose a point over yesterdays quotation to T6 1-2, equalling their best price on the March recovery. and rubles also inn proved, with some heaviness in francs, due, probably, to further delay in the 1 French loan negotiations. Report of a
 coming inflow of gold from Canada l were not confirmed in authoritative | quarters.
 | Bonds were irregular and dull, some
 of the more speculative issues remain | ing unquoted. Total sales, par value
 aggregated $3040 ,0O0
 D. s. bonds were unchanged on call.

SUNDAY BALL MAY BE
 PREVENTED IN NEW HAVEN
Success of New League Depends Some
 what on Sunday Games.

Alarm is felt that some of the or ganizations who oppose Sunday base ball are to prevent further games being played in Nef Haven. It became known today that private detectives were present at the game played be- tween Lowell and New Haven at Savin Rock Sunday afternoon who iotted down a list of names of many present including those of the players and umpires. As this was the procedure taken two seasons ago when Sunday games were broken up here it is as- sumed that the step is a forerunner to complaint which will be filed with the West Haven authrities and that warrants for the arrests of the play CTS will be issued, and the spectators will be called as ESnsss to the fact that a game was played. Reports were current last night that similar steps might be taken Bridgeport. No attempts might have been made to be- in other Connecticut cities this season.
 The New Haven team has planned to play it's games on it's own grounds at Savin Rock this season. In case it re- moves to Lighthouse Point for it's Sun day games it is not likely to improve it's case as the complaints will be made instead to the New Haven court off cials, who have no recourse, in case warrants are served by the town, or state police, but to try the cases. Under the law, Sunday baseball is clearly pro- hibited. The success of the new league lies to a great degree upon it's ability to play Sunday games of baseball and the step which has been begun is a serious blow to the team here.
