t5cided character, the envelope Was ;Iperscribed:
 ORSON BERTRAM, Esq.,
 General Manager,
 Charming. Inc,
 Introducing S7 Broadway, New York Capt. Donald Parr.
 The addressee accepted it from the hands of Capt. Donald Parr with a slightly bored air which was swiftly dissipated once he had scanned the dozen or so lines composing the body of the note.
 With somewhat startled expres- sinn Mir. Bertram peered over his desk af this Captain Parr-a brief scrutiny which Donald endured with compoSure until Mir. Bertram (with the manner of one challenging the testimony of his own senses), returned undivided at tention to a second reading of the note. Then twinkle of amusement showed in Donald's eyes, he communi- cated this emotion in swift glance to his companion, and again masked it with semblance of impassivity.
 Having verified his first impression of the sense of the communication, Mir. Bertram clicked his tongue against his teeth meditatively-"Tch, Tch "
 Miss Charming reposes a-pardOn me-surprising degree of confidence in you, Captain Parr," he commented.
 Il hope to prove worthy of her trust" Donald declared with all due humility.
 ''I used the term surprising in view If the fact that it has been my mis- fortune never to have heard of you IS friend of Miss Channing's."
 Don't apologize" said Donald calm y-and let it go at that.
 "Of course" Mir Bertram amended hastily. ''I am Miss Channing's serv- mt. Her will is my law. Pray ad- sise me in what way I may serve you"

 n which 1 have organized for Miss tanning dt her suggestion"
 Mir. Bertram looked, if possible. more ' than ever startled. .
 ''I know nothing of that" he said mechanically shaking hands with Mir. Ryley.
 ''It is MISS Cummings desire that nfcrm you concerning it, in strict confidence-naturully."
 Naturally" echoed Mir Bertram, and assumed a receptive attitude.
 Rapidly Captain Parr sketched for he benefit of the general manager m outline of the existing situation be- -ween Patria Charming and himself, )n the one hand, and on the other Baron Huroki and his associates.
 As he drew to his conclusion Mir. Bertram betrayed boundless amaze nent.
 Extraordinary he commented. md rather needlessly moPped his brow. May l ask-T
 Anything. Mir. BerIrnm. IL is not ,nIy my duty, l an only too happy To ell you everything"
 "Nhy-since these Japanese and Mexican cOnspiratOrs have so openly shown their haDds-T
 ''I won't iBdorse. openly" Donald in- crrlIpied with smile. "rhey have 1cen very shrcwd and cunning. II has bus far been our good fOrtuUe-with he assistance of Mir Ryley hereto ncnetrate their intrigues and mate heir every move"
 'Iiut surely you have ample excuse for swearing out warr;I for their arrest .'
