Toxic regarded this conversation
with more than usual interest because
of the personal antagonism existing
between these two men toward whom
he cherished no kindly feelings. Pearl
only partly listened, and the colonel
not at all, until at the end of the
grilling Brent, for the purpose of shift
ing the subject for obvious reasons,
tarned suddenly to Miss Dare.

quickly, with a faint laugh. "In the

looking quickly at her father. "And not

II got 'em f-from him." Adams grim
ly stated; but ne did not explain how
or when or where, leaving them to in
fer their own conclusions.
That put Adams straight in the
minds of both the Dares. The confer
ence now adjourned, the colonel tele-
phoned his loss to the war office and
made an appointment to call on the
secretary later in the day.
Someone in the outer room knocked
on the door. Pearl opened it slightly
and peered through the crack.

Toxic with gravity, letting the woman
enter.
''This is my fault, not Toko's," Ber-
tina excitedly explained. noticing Colo

for permitting this intrusion. Both
Major Brent and Adams had followed

She took a little round box from out
of her mesh bag. 81 was told to bring
this to you, Colonel Dare" she stated,
handing it to him.
by whom?" quickly asked Pearl, for
she recognized the box.
"a telephone call not ten minutes
ago, No name was given
THE waters !" calculated the colonel
staring at the contents of the box.
''Where did you get them, Miss
Bonn?' 1t was the wavering voice
of Major Brent.
Yes! Where did you get them?"
the others echoed in unison, except T.
o. Adams. Before Bertha could frame
reply, he took the waters from Colo

cally.

GLARlHG STREET LIGHTS BAD
Best Results Obtained From Globes
Which Are Dense Enough to
Soften the Rays.

illuminating engineers are now
turning all their energies toward a
system for the proper distribution of
street lighting, writes Walter II. How
ELL in Good Health "They have
unanimously agreed that the best light
is that from globe that is dense
enough not to reveal the form of the
actual light within, but to give the ef-
feet of light streaming forth from the
globe"
The reason for this is that street
lamps are necessarily against a dark
background, and the amount of glare
upon the eyes depends to great de-
gree upon the background against
which the light is seen. An electric
light, unshaded, against dark velvet
wall covering, for instance, will be
found much more trying to the eyes
than would the same light with u
white wall paper behind it.

edy when in the hands of the unscrup-
ulous knave, Bolero, and how disaster
was averted by bullet from the pistol
of Adams simultaneously with the
routing of the reyolutionsts by Colo
mel Dare's timely expeditionary force.
From the frontier the talk drifted
back to Washington and the undated
and increasing peril of the hour. With
out taking undue advantage of hosts
opportunity Colonel Dare asked Bertha
many questions intended to illumine
and settle their minds as to whether
she was what she appeared to be, an
/ innocent dupe of the conSpirators with
her eyes now wide open, or their Sc
cret agent of marvelously deceptive
qualities. The dinner ended with the
Dares unqualifedly deciding the for
mer, with uneonsequential reserva-
] tions. Brent seemed to agree with
them, although in reality he differed,
of course.
Thus came Bertha Bonn into an
intimate place In the life and affairs
of Miss Pearl Dare, whether for good

Major Brents marriage to Pearl was
4 stronger than ever and now more pos
sible of accomplishment. She believed
firmly that Adams was the Silent Men
ace, though she gave no hint of this
to anyone.
While chatting with Miss Dare in
her boudoir, Bertha overheard the
colonel say to Brent in the hall be-
low: "Fie upon that, majorl The

In civic work the Inauguration OF

yearly work of chambers of commerce.
This work, done under the supervision
of experts, brought TO community
by Il chamber of commerce, is produe-

carried on by willing. bur more or less

new state of affairs.
you know nothing about Miss Bonn
and what / hear does not reflect too
well in her favor" he told Pearl, can
didly.
"She's inoffensive, so far as l can
see," Pearl replied. with touch of
hauteur.
To PEARLS inquiry about the result
of his conference at the war office the
colonel merely stated that the waters
had been delivered to the head chemist
at the laboratories in the chemical
building to be analysed and duplicated
so as to have an ample supply avail
able if needed.
Then the colonel whispered an army
secret into Pearls ear.
"a million?" she repeated, at once
greatly interested.
"a million volunteers" he reiter-
ated.
when will the call go out?n
LAS soon as a mobilization schedule
is prepared by the chief of staff and
myself assisting the secretary Of war
Pearl clapped her hands in approval.
When Bertha joined the party in the
dining room, Brent was forewarned
and met her with dignifled composure.
That night at dinner Bertha piled
her feminine arts with such charm and
recherche that he had to pinch him
self several times, metaphorieally
speaking, in order to make sure that
the engaging lady and the post ser
geant's girl were one and the same.
Man of easy and impreSsionab1e SEN
timent that he was, Brent began to
think that he was a fool to defy Ber-
tha 1t would be much less difficult
and certainly more pleasurable to take
the place he knew he filed in her heart
and chance the rest. 1t was the
easiest way with women of that kind,
anyhow; and Pearl need never know.
The conversation dwelled upon mat
tiers of mutual interest; the first disap-
pearance of the Canal defense plans /;
the death of the Granadian ambassador
eeincident with the conviction of Capt.
Ralph Payne; Payne's untimely end
in the railroad wreck and his for
tune in proving the innocence he de-
clared in those dying moments; the
entrance of Adams into their lives and
how now they believed in him, now
doubling, never altogether satisfied
that some link existed between him and
the Silent Menace, yet forced to accept
his explanations as true with the
doubt always in his favor in the minds
of the colonel and Miss Dare at least /;

amazed TO hear Adams tell this IN
truth, when he was the guilty per-
son; and Bertha Bonn, likewise was
puzzled.
"Yaas, l s-sent them to her this
morning." coolly continued Adams
with smile at Pearl. 81 f-found them

Brent squirmed and acted as if he
were going to choke, and for that mat
ter so did Bertha Bonn. Toxic looked
at Adams obviously.
The countenances of both Colonel
Dare and his daughter cleared.
1.-THE Canal defense plans are worth
less without these waters to interpret
them. Thank heavens for that burst
from the lips of Colonel Dare. He
thanked Bertha excitedly and excused
himself. Major Brent followed him
out. "War office, Toxic" called the
colonel, slapping Brent on the shoulder
in an excess of relief. Brent showed
that he, too, was relieved.
"All is not lost, yet" Brent re-
marked hopefully.

claimed after the others, save Adams.

lives have been thrown strangely to-

drawn into this terrible plot in which
we are enmeshed. l am under very
great obligations to you. VIII you not
come and pay me visit? You will
be most welcome, and, l think, help

Miss Dare's invitation fairly took
Bertha's breath away, it was so I'M
expected and opportune. She glanced
carelessly at Adams. He arched his
eyebrows and without being observed
by Miss Dare nodded approval.
That afternoon Bertha gave up her
apartment at the Hotel Wilton and be-
came a guest in the Dare household.

"Who onened my snfe 2,'

1t was the voice of Colonel Dare.
He stood in the doorway and looked
from one to the other.
Toxic. whose revolver was aimed at
Adams, dropped his arm. He was a
bit confused Adams put his own re-
volver in his hip pocket with a sig
nificant motion toward Major Brent.
Then he exhibited the Canal defense
plans to the colonel. Brent, pointing
to the open safe door, started to man.

"When l entered this room a mo-
ment ago a strange man was kneeling
at the safe. 1t was wide open. He
was in the act of stealing the Canal
defense plans. l leaped on him. lie

the window" All looked at the open
library window.

bold and deliberate falsehood, when
Adams arrived and demanded the plans
Under threat of his gun. Toxic came
and held us both up" He forced a
sickly smile.
Adams sneered in his face, leaned
out of the window, and looked care
fully in every direction. Then Il scurry
of footsteps was heard on the walk
and a grotesque shadow flashed across
the room. He drew back instantly,
holding up both empty hands.
"Quick The plans They We're
snatched from me-" he cried to the
startled group, boiling past them and
out of the house.
But though the premises were thor
oughly searched, whoever tie thief
was, he made a successful escape.
The only person in sight was larap-
