ne time is past 1Or mere talk; we !
must act" he exclaimed. with an eX-
ccllent suggestion of suppressed ex-
element. And he sought to lead me !
to discuss the affairs of the fraternity.
Il am not a leader and have only to
q" the a assigned to me" l said.
Let others do as they Will"
You believe our freedom can be won
without violence:'
II have only to do the task assigned
to me-" l repeated, and would not be
drawn any farther.
AS he was going he referred to Eel
sen. You trust your servant: You
know he is also a suspect"
, II know be is a good servant
"Do not trust him too far. He talks
too freely. Re on your guard, and
don't let him see this uniform. He

knowledge might be dangerous to both

It was a clever stroke for one spy to
put me on my guard against the other.
But my eyes We're no longer blinded,
and his warning did not mislead me.
l was fully alive to the personal risk
| was running, and l spent a couple Of
. hours In very anxious thought, recast-
Ing my plans for the next day. In the
end | resolved to act as though i'm
plicitly believing in Bremenhof's sin
certify and saw how to use one of his
W spies to let him know my inten-
ton.
In the morning l wrote a note to
{ Nolna:
Dear Miss Drakona-I ao glad to tell
YOU that in an interview l had with Colo
rel Bremenhof last night he agreed to
t nand over to me the evidence against
: Your mother and also to place it on rec
ord that there is no charge of any kind
against YOU. He imposed one condition.;
= and ! shall comply with it by leaving
Warsaw tonight. | think it better not to
G call upon you this morning. Therefore l
send this by my servant. Jacob Felsen,
who is to be trusted. ! wish you earnest
. ", God speed, and shall always be your
!. friend, ROBERT ANSTRUTHER.
e addressed this openly to Volna and
gave it to my servant
e Il am going to rust you with a very
important secret, Felsen," | said as
impressively and earnestly as I could.
The safety Of the person to whom
e this is addressed may depend upon
. Your good faith. I cannot go to the
place myself, but l feel | can rely
upon your doing all l look for from
S You in the matter"
vt He answered with a hundred protes-
tations of fidelity, and was so overin-
S sistent that was quite sure he meant
l. to take the letter straight to Bremen
y hof uhn uro,,1l n;1ho,. l,rr,, H., a.,
house himself or send to have Volna
brought to him. He would thus find
y that I had given the right address and
l. was apparently acting. as my letter
J. implied. in reliance upon his word.
d But as | was careful that F'elsen
le did not leave my hotel until it vas i'm
T. possible for Bremenhof or his men tc
. get to the place of st. John before Vol
It ma had left to keep her appointment
$ with me. l was risking nothing in Civ
ing away her real address.
n AS soon as he was gone l started tt
II meet her. | found Burski in the hal
r of the hotel smoking a cigar and chat
a ting with some other men.
n | concluded that | was to be shad
N owed and that he was there to poin
me out to whoever might be detailed
d for the work.
"Ah, good morning, Mr.. A%nstruthcr,'
| he said, coming up to he.
a. I stopped and returned his greeting
is "What is the news: Is the troubl,
over?"
IS "No, indeed. 1t is going to begin
m The men in almost every factory anC
T. workshop in the city have struck work

will be a black day for Warsaw.'
" "yhere will be violence, you mean?
"Do men get together in thousand
<. and tens of thousands just to shak
e hands With one another: You are no
ei going out:'
"Indecd. l am. l have a free day
my last. possibly. in Warsaw-an'
~ wish to see matters for myself. Wher
's are the strikers in forcc:"
NJ AT this moment a man who was sit
W ting near the DOR rose and Sauntere,
el out, followed soon afterward by a sec
ond. l marked them we'll. for | guess
Ut ed they might be told off to shad
nv DIV me.
ls' ''E.hey are in force everywhere" h
replied. "Shall YOU be long away"
~ "Come with me and show me things
ne One direction is as good as anothe
IA for me-"
AT He drew me aside and lowered hi
voice to a whisper: 81 am supposed t
'e' be following "a you know. But
H. you tell me when you'll get back her
l it will do" Such q clever assumptio
of sincerity,

MS but not for the reason | wished hil
