of the couch so close that the smoke
from his lips blew hot against Jim's
cheek. but he was SO placed that Jim
could not see him without moving.
Jim continued careful not to betray
consciousness, and the next minute he
was rewarded for his caution. A step

replied with Difference.
The "sir" put his hand upon Jim's

Imply as possible and had made no

The sir went out and shut the door
behind him. Bole again pulled at his
pipe, but he also poured water into a
glass. He added liquor and carried
the glass to the couch. Jim still lay
as he was left, on his side. He man

there In that guarded house at a quar-
ter to four in the morning? He had
no need to summon remembrance of
1ngouf's body beside the road, the first
shot fired at him and the rest of the
fight in the office, the ropes about his
arms as he recovered consciousness.
The girl herself gave him now re-
assurance. She called to the tall man
at the other table: "And yettis of

received the answer to the enigma
had regained his senses. He had just
heard the explanation of the puzzle as
to why he had not been shot after the
fight I'm the office and left there.
The reason that the spies had taken
him prisoner and carried him away
was that be had shown that he had
learned certain Of their secrets III
they had killed him or left him In the
office building their act would have
operated only to direct more attention
toward that office, and they would
have lost all opportunity to trace
through him the location of the fault
in their chain of secret agents. With
Jim a prisoner and in their power they
could force from him-or apparently
they were determined TO try to force
from him-what he knew about them
and how he learned X, SO that they
might mend their chain where 1t was
broken or at least take precautions
against the break bringing greater
danger to them. Till they could dis
cover where the fault was it was plain
that they must move with extreme
caution and at too great risk.
Jim's teeth clenched and his hands
strained as he recognized this situs-
ton. Bole brought to his lips the glass
Of whisky and water. He forced a
little down Jim's throat and dashed
more over his face.
Jim succeeded In still feigning stu
Dor. Bole rolled him over on his face
and undid the cords which bound his
arms, seizing Jim's wrists and moving
the arms to stir Jim into life.
The door of the room was shut tight,
and as no sound came from other
parts of the house Jim felt assured
that a little noise would send ne alarm
to other rooms. AS Bole rolled him
over with arms loosed he still lay
limp; then, as Bole bent over him,
Jim caught a loop Of the rope which
had bound him and threw 1t e
Bole's neck. The man leaped back
In his first start Of surprise and SO
drew the loop tight He did not cry
out at once, and as Jim leaped upon

tighter about the mans neck Bole
now could not cry out With his
breath stopped he did not fight effec-
lively. He struggled u~selessly to seize
the moose with his fingers and tear 1t
from his neck till, with mouth gasping
open and bullying eyes shut, he crum-
pied.
Jim pushed him down on the couch
and swiftly searched his pockets, find
ing first a revolver. In another pocket
was a large handkerchief. Jim stuffed
this cloth quickly into Bole's mouth,
and, securing 1t there, he loosed the
moose about the mans neck. Bole's
breath returned In loud, rasping
SHORES. There was no way to stop
the snoring but to remove the gag.
Jim dared not do that. He worked
swiftly, binding Bole as he had been
bound and, in addition, securing him
to the couch. The man was conscious
again, though weak and breathing
hard. Jim delayed over him no longer.
He switched out the light, stepped to
the window, pulled back the shade
and peered out

ADEQUATE NATIONAL
DEFENSE DEMANDED

We demand adequate national
defense; adequate protection on
both Western and Eastern
coasts. We demand thorough.
ness and efficiency in both arms
Of the service. 1t seems to be
plain that our regular army is
too small. We r too great
a country to require of our citi-
zens who are engaged in peace
full vocations the sort of mill
tary service to which they are
now called. AS well insist that
our citizens in this metropolis
be summoned to put out fires
and police the streets. We do
not count 1t inconsistent with
our liberties, or with our demo
cratic ideals, to have an ade-
quate police force. With a pop
ulation of nearly one hundred
millions we need to be surer
of ourselves than to become
alarmed at the prospect of hav-
ing a regular army which can
reasonably protect our border,
and perform such other military
service as may be required, In
the absence of a grave emer-
gency. l believe, further, that
there should be not only a rea-
sonable increase in the regular
army, but that the first citizen
reserve subject to call should
be enlisted as a Federal army
and trained under Federal au-
thority. - From Mr.. Hughes
speech of acceptance.
