NINTH EPISODE
Greed VS.. Patriotism.

the astounded colonel turning to Ma
jor Brent. How many of our men
are here?"

quickly announced Toxic.

grape baskets, vegetable crates, potato
bags and bulky boxes of irregular
shapes. But no odor of plant life es-
capped from these coverings.
Curious to know whence came
grapes at this unreasonable period of
the year, and with a view to examin-
ing ii in the somewhat better light of
partly opened portfolio, Pearl started
to lift one OF the baskets. 1t was as
heavy as lead. She broke open the
top. The basket was full of cartridges.
A further examination showed that
the vegetable crates lined with fresh
corn huskings concealed explosives
and that the potato bags contained a
fine yellow powder.
She was so absorbed that she did
not hear footsteps stealthily approach
ing, or at first perceive a sweet, sick
ening odor which permeated her nos
trils. She became faint and restless
under an overpowering desire to sleep.
Without knowing 1t, she sank In an
anaesthesia and was carried away in
the arms of masked person. I.
Several minutes later Adams crawled
through a starboard portfolio into the
river and dived shoreward. He
reached the wharf and raised himself
by some ropes. Two policemen
grabbed his coat collar and landed him
on his feet.

back and humorously ordered Pearl
to hurry up about his own breakfast.
He could see only the outlines of her
figure and his impression was that
she looked "cute."
But Pearl was In no mood for the
kind of banterlDg Adams INDUCED in.
She ordered him in very pre-emptory
manner TO be still. He obediently fell
silent and as quickly his own humor
changed. For somewhere above, doubt
less in the captains cabin, they heard
voices.
"Do you understand what is being
said?" she demanded, grasping his arm
tightly.
Adams indicated that he did, al
though the discussion was now in
French, now in German and occasion
ally in heavy-tongued Scandinavian.
"The girl, yes; but, Adams, Mon
Dieu, no! Don't you know who he is?
He is needed, messieurs~
Pearl pointed the nose of her revol-
yer against Adams chest. "Tell me
quickly why does the Foreign ALI

Adams shrugged. Listen" he re-
piled, coolly. "They may tell you"
Pearl started to say something more
when with that swift action which he
had before exhibited, he disarmed her.

to the outraged girl.

loud as she might and still be cautious.
There was no response.
Again she summoned him in vain.
At the same time the voices overhead
grew less distinct although the hum
of conversation continued indefinitely
Now more alert than ever, Pearl
listened a while but unable to catch
any meaning, presently instituted an
inspection of the ships hold. She soon
concluded that this was no ordinary
freighting vessel. 1t was damned with

Miss Munro was one of q machine

nounced to the gathering when he
could find expression.
For a moment no one moved or
spoke. Then the president adjourned
the conference with gesture of hope
lessness.
"YOu better send the Canal defense
plans here" said he with quiet
emphasis to the secretary Of war; ''for
they will now be sought. I'll lock
them up In the White House safe, or
better still, let Colonel Dare lock them
in his private safe at home where they
would be least suspected to be.
America, gentlemen" he contin-
ued; sis in the grip of a secret foe.
The first army is on the ground. We
must obliterate it before the army
of the invasion arrives. For you, col
onel, l have the highest regard. The
entire country will be your everlasting
debtor If you succeed In unmasking
our enemies"
The president walked out of the
room amid profound silence, his head
bowed.
Sometime before daybreak Colonel
Dare visited his major. He found him
in bed attended by a staff physician
and a nurse. Brent told him, as best
he could in his nauseated condition,
that he had been attacked on the
street outside the barracks when the
box containing the waters was stolen.
Chloroform had been administered,
which was the truth. His assailants,
there were two he said, got away be-
fore he could give warning, which was
not true, for Brent had drugged him
self.
The colonel believed him.
ANY news from Pearl?" Brent in
quired anXiously.
"Toko has telephoned that the au-
tomobile has been found, ditched in
the Potomac river" the colonel re-
piled, failing in his effort to force a
hopeful smile. He went back to his
house shortly after that and hid the
Canal defense plans in his safe.
Morning dawned and found Pearl
Dare and Orderly Adams prisoners in
a bay freighter at anchor off the
Packet Line docks in the Washing
ton river harbor. During the night
this vessel among all others had been

that time the prisoners were not on
board. They were concealed in dingy
upstream not far from where the
ditched automobile was found later
But Immediately the coast was clear
the dingy was propelled TO the water
side Of the steamer and Pearl and
Adams were hustled into separate sec
tons of the hold.
Adams was searched from head to
foot for the box of waters. When
they were not found on him, attention
was turned to Pearl who refused to
permit anyone to touch her. She blurt-
ed out the truth. But she would not
divulge the name or describe the ap-
pearance of Bertha Bonn under all
manner Of threat, and when Adams
was questioned about this he professed
ignorance.
Subsequently platter of breakfast
was sent to Miss Dare by galley boy
who seemed to be deaf and dumb, and
who behaved queerly. The moment
he appeared Pearl seized him, found
a bowie knife and a loaded revolver
concealed in his clothes, gagged and
bound him before he could make dis
turbance and thus armed hurried over
to that part of the ships bottom,
where Adams was confined. She freed
the surprised orderly and briefly ex-
planned her escape. Then she gave
him a start.
"Strip that lad and give me his
clothes ~ she whispered in a matter OF
fact manner.
An amused expression crept into
Adams face. "Ain't you afeard tic

with her two-piece street suit and sport

PUBLIC LIBRARY
AIDING SCHOOLS
Good Books Are Being Placed
Within Reach of Thou
sands of Children

The Harrisburg Public Library
is planning to increase It's library
service in the public schools. Small
Libraries have already been establish
ed in some of the schools, and the re-
suits have been 30 satisfactory that
a number of other schools have ex-
pressed l. desire for the service.
The importance of the co-opera-
ton of the educational facilities OF
the library and the schools has al
ways been emphasized by Miss Eaton
librarian, who Is responsible for the
installation of the school libraries
Schools poss essing the libraries now
are the Allison, Downey, Calder
Wickersham, Foose and Paxton. A
number of other schools have ex-
pressed themselves anxious for the
service, in a number of cases the
parents, students and teachers re-
questing it. The Shimmell wants q
library for the purpose of issuing
reading matter to its neighborhood
club.
The School Board furnishes the
cases for the books. the service is
furnished by the teachers, and the
books by the library. Miss Eaton
stated that she aims to furnish books
that will lead the students to an ap-
probation of good literature. The
range of books selected for each
school includes poetry, fairy tales
romance and fiction. Between two
and three hundred books are now on
the way to the library authorities
when additional school libraries will
be installed.
The size of the libraries range
from 35 to $50 books each, according
to the size of school. The popularity
OF the Libraries is attested by the
fact that last year they had q cir
culation of five thousand, with be-
tween four and five hundred books
in use.
The work started is big one, but
Miss Eaton started to-day that in the
course of few years she hopes to
see every school properly equipped.
