unable to resist the ding, for she was
filled with no little curiosity concern
ing the locket mystery.
"Never." said he, glancing apprais-
ingly at her through his horn-rimmed
spectacles. He was stoop-shouldered
and bald-headed.
Bertha turned away. now laughing
outright, and asked the night porter
something about early morning trains.
Just before retiring she happened to
look down upon the thoroughfare and
saw the Dare automobile containing
only the familiar visaged Toxic rush
ing by. She wondered why the car
was out at that late time and whittier
1t was bound. An hour later the car
again passed the Wilton hotel, but by
this time Bertha was sound asleep.
The automobile on its return trip
was not empty, however. In 1t were
Colonel Dare and Major Brent proceed
ing to the formers residence from a
secretly convened court-martial of
Captain Payne.
1t was obvious that this was no hap
py homecoming when the car stopped
before the Dare door. Toxic stood
aside a trifie more deferential than
usual while the officers descended.
The colonel seemed suddenly to have
aged. His eyes lacked luster. In con-
trast to the extremely unctuous major
at his elbow, the proud bearing Of this
popular regimental commander was
not manifest.

unobtrusively preceded them into the
house, which for the moment apparent
ly was deserted.
Brent passed into the library. On
the wall hung splendid painting of
Payne. His eyes were riveted upon it.
But in them there was no pity. A
strange uneasiness permeated his
senses. Turning, he found Toxic, hesi-
tating to approach, yet with an evil
dent question on his lips.
"What is 1t, Toko2"
Toxic pointed to the portrait, His
usually inscrutable face was express
sive Of real regret.
"What was the charge against the
captain?"
HE sold valuable army secret to
an enemy country. Toko," Major Brent
gruffly replied. ITO Granada"
"Will he be shotT'
Brent shook his head. 1.-THE proof,
while quite conclusive, was circum-
stantial. He has been sentenced to
life Imprisonment in the federal peni-
tentiary. He will be dismissed from
the army at Sunrise"
II liked Captain Payne" said Toxic,
after pause. "He was my friend"
look. II don't believe that he was
guilty"
Brent became furious for no very
explainable reason. He never had

liked Toxic. His English was too in
sufferably blunt. He turned away to
hide his feelings.
In the hall stood Pearl wringing her
hands. The hopelessness Of it all was
written on her face. 1t was plain that
the colonel had told her everything.
II must see him-alone," she said
piteously, approaching the major.
Brent simulated sympathy. .
'"The colonel and ! must return to
the war department at once. Why not
wait"
She interrupted with a determined
shake Off her head. "Toko will drive
me to the barracks after he drops you
Off"
And that ended 1t. She went.
1t was arranged at the last moment
so that Colonel Dare could leave the
all-night conference of the staff and
accompany her, for the visit was nec-
essarily to be brief and there
were some details for him alone to
settle at the barracks where mt day
break he was to preside over the for
NAL dismissal scenes Of the court-mar-
tailed officer.
She felt grateful for her fathers sup

He had scarcely finished speaking
when Pearl, freeing her right arm,
struck him down. She was upon him

drawled the spokesman, 'in our hands,

by which this ambitious young country
has ruled the western seas for more
than century-too long. Have your
foreign offices sent you here prepared
to discuss the division of the spoils?"
Pearl drew away from the wall, in
wardly scoffing and deeply resentful at
these preposterous suggestions. She
could hear no more Of them. Were II
not for the fact that the one in whom
she had pledged her faith in manhood
was being publicly disgraced for
crime she now knew to have been COM
mitted by others she would have be-
lieved that these arch international
plotters were escaped lunatics. This
alone kept her from doing something
ridiculous.
A new thought flashed into her mind
as the full meaning of the moment
came upon her. She became inspired
with sudden determination to estab-
lish the identity Of this coterie and its
leader, matching cunning with cunning,
intrigue with intrigue, regardless of
personal hazard and for the country's
cause-and Payne's-no matter whith-
er 1t took hef or how far, to checkmate
this silent menace in the plot in which
he might be only a pawn, or yet a
prince, or a disguised ruler himself.

maidenhood contained in a noble and
sacrificing patriotism, this resolute
young Joan Of what eventually became
known as the American One Hundred

of which evolved the spirit of a New
Americanism.
In her exalted mood, for second
she forgot the necessity of caution. She
had found the door and was about to
open it and face the intriguers when
her sleeve caught upon a protruding
wire. Before she had shaken it loose
she was. to her dismay, discovered.
In her haste to evade pursuit, she
mounted breathlessly to the loft, fol.
lowed closely by the whole party, their
faces now masked, the spokesman in
the lead. He reached the top at the
same time as she, with arms out
to grab her. She quickly
dropped the trap, stood upon it and
grappled with him. Her one thought
was to unmask him.
