Gentlemen have often heard my
father and mother remark how well

that you are the first taIlors who ever
made clothes for me; but which ever
way 1t may be, Inow join my parents
10 their praise of your workmanship
and methods of clothes making.

' william FLYNN, Former che U. s. Secret service

E. V. Gates. Franz Won Papen and
Kari Boy-Ed were already there,
gathered around the desk with Franz
Won RinteIen and DR.. Heinrich AL
bert. Only two more remained to
come-Heinric Won LertZ and Count
Johann Won Bernstorff, Ambassador
from Imperial Germany to the Uni
ted States of America. Franz avon
Rintelen slid forward in his chair.
why is His Excellency so wor-
ried?" he asked.
IT'S about the Iongshoremen's'
strike" answered DR.. Albert, once
more thumbing his telegram. by the
way, Rintelen, has there been any
progress ?"
Nothing but retrogression," came
the answer Of the archplotter. From
what the papers say tonight, there is
danger Of failure. All the long
shoremen' are very loyal and the
paid agitators that I have sent to
work among them have accomplish
ed very little. In fact, they have ac-
'complished nothing. They did sue
coed at one time by working the
longshorefnen' up over the cost Of
living, but that was net by a
prompt raise Of wages on the part of
all our money spent for agitation in
that way, went for nothing. How
ever"
Won Bernstorff Arrives.
There was a sound at the door. A
moment later and Heinric Won Lertz
entered the office. Then q sudden
movement, a sudden circle of bows,
sudden outburst Of greetings.
Count Won Bernstorff had arrived.
There was a moment Of silence as
he faced his assistants. Then slow
ly he looked toward Rintelen and
held forth an evening paper.
II am sure you will pardon my
deavor," he announced, "but this
mo more to you than to me,
Your Excellency," came the smooth
answer Of Won Rintelen. II appreci-
ate very much your coming tonight
and 7 would appreciate even more
any suggestion that you might be
able to make"
How about bribery"
"Of the union off1cials?" Won Rim
telen laughed slightly and held up
his hands. II have tried that-with
most unfortunate results. Through
outside sources, I caused an offer of
SO a week for every striking long
shoreman, the amount to be paid
for five straight weeks. The offer
was made to Kelly, Butler and
O'Connor, the, leaders of the long
shoremen.' They also were made to
that the money would be
paid to demonstrating $4,000
and that there was no anxiety over
what happened to it after it went
into their hands-meaning of course,
that they could walk away with all
Of it if they so desired. providing
they called the strike
"Well?" Bernstorff raised his eye
brows.
Unions Refuse Bride.
"They reported the matter at once
to Secretary Of Labor Wilson that
someone was seeking to cause dis
ruption in the labor ranks. I think
that, more than anything else, caused
the breach that was being made by
my agitators, to be closed more
quickly"
Bernstorff took a quick breath.
There wasn't any mention of Ger

every suit he donned. His wigs and
boards he left in America, to be dis
covered by the members OF the Secret
Service who searched his office.
A Chat with Albert.
But this narrative must tell the &C.
tivities Of Rtntelen In America, not
of his flight. And while Harrison
Grant sat musing in his Office, Franz
Won Rintelen removed his false beard,
diverted himself of his coat with the
bumped shoulders, then turned hap
PLY at the sight-of a shadow on the
door. A moment later and he was
chatting with DR.. Heinrich Albert,
chief fiscal spy for Imperial Germany
in the United States, and disburser
for every fund except the activities
Of Franz Won Rintelen. DR.. Albert
held forth telegram.
II suppose you received one also?'
he asked.
From Bernstorff?" Rintelen looked
up quickly. "Of course. heard from
Capt. Won Papen and Capt. Boy Ed
also. They will be here. Did Bern
storff's message to you name a timer"
Mo-" DIR. Albert had removed
his overcoat, displaying the usual i'm
maculate evening clothes. "Ie
simply told me to meet him here to-
night for an important conference.
By the way, is Won Lertz coming?"
II told him. He should be here
now"
But instead, Heinric Won Lertz
was attending to another angle Of
Imperial Germany's campaign
against America. He was then
standing in the half light Of an old
attic, where, tucked away from OBJ
servation a German scientist, i'm
ported by Won Rintelen, had taken
his quarters that he might prepare
for future disease raids against
American workmen in case the
plans Of Germany in other directions
failed. With Won Lertz was Madame
Augusta Stephan, chief Of Germany's
and together they were plotting the
death of Harrison Grant and his
members Of the Criminology club.
you must remember Won Lertz
had pust said, "the death Of any
American Secret Service man is a
distinct victory for Germany. The
Eagles Eye I think some Of these
newspaper men have called it-and it
has its eye on us too frequently.
Now, Meyerson, what's the danger of
this AFFAIR."
The Germ Plot.
'Danger?" the old scientist looked
UP with a little smile. "None, that
see. I know enough about germs
to take care of myself. All have to
do is to approach the club from the
next roof, raise a window an inch or
so and inject this. That's all there
will be to it. The circulation Of the
air will take care of the rest Of the
plan"
He held up cotton plugged tube
from which Madame Stephan re-
coiled. Typed on the label =, of the
tube were the words:
Cholera Bacilli.''
Heinric Won Lertz smiled cynically.
Good enough" he announced.
But be careful regarding yourself.
We may need you in case this
plot fails"
The old scientists head bobbed.
II know how to use care" he an
swered. Yea may count on that"
And while Won Lertz accompanied
Madame Stephan to her apartment,
the members Of the German contin-
gent were gathering for the "im-
portant conference" in the office Of

longshoremen If agitation fails"
And agitation has failedM" Har-
rison Grant said quickly. Agitation
has fatled-and that means some
other attempt against the longshore-
men. 1t means"
But the bacteriologist is dead. He
won't carry out his orders"
Imperial Germany only begins it's
real deviItry after It's been blocked"
said Harrison Grant. Its first and
second line Of offenses have already
failed in this campaign against the
longshoremen. But you can count
on it, Billy, that there's a reserve
somewhere-and that the blow is go
ing to fall and fall quick! Get to a
telephone as quick as you can! Nou-
fy every member Of the Criminology
Club to seek work at the docks as
IOngshoremen. Tell them to keep
their eyes and ears open for every
thing that sounds like German prop
aganda!"
Nothing there that will tell what
they're planning?"
"No-only the indication that they
are planning something-and that
they'll keep on working in spite Of the
death Of this man. What they intend
to do is for us to find out-and we've
got to find out quick! So hurry to
the telephone. The docks are open
day and night now, you know. Every
member who can spare the sleep must
find employment tonight. The rest
of them will get jobs in the morning
we'll work in day and night shifts
But even as Harrison Grant gave
the order. Heinric Won LeTtz was lay
ing his plans for the nrst blow, as he
talked to a furtive eyed spy in the
back Of a Hoboken saloon,
Here's the number Of the lighter"
he was saying Il just got it from
one Of Paul Koenig's men. It will

Out the window went the master
detective. and to the side Of the dy-
Careful now!" he ordered. Search
him-but look out for cultures and
bacterial"
A moment later and Harrison Grant
was in the possession Of the thing he
sought-a card, carelessly left in the
old scientists pocket in his surety of
success, a card which gave his name
and address and which sent Harrison
Grant scurrying forth to pick up
Billy Cavanaugh. one of his favorite
operators. and to hurry across town
in search Of the laboratory that he
felt sure the dead bacteriologist had
maintained.
A Toast To The Kaiser.
But in the meanwhile, things had
gone we'll for Imperial Germany in
the Office Of "E. ". Gates. Only
Franz Won Rintelen and Heinric Won
Lertz remained. The others had gone
to the Hohenzollern Club for a last
toast to the Kaiser and a quiet chat
regarding their plans-too quiet for
even the concealed photograph Of the
Criminology Club to detect All the
work had been left for RinteIen and
Won Lertz and they were making
plans hastily.
Papers were piled high on the desk
OF Rtfftelen, papers which formed re-
ports from spies everywhere, from
the thugs employed by Paul Koenig,
of the Hamburg American line, from
spies scattered among railroad men,
n he Observation-Disclosures,
Workmen Of practically every indus
try in the country. Rintelen was
speaking.
From what can gather by the re-
ports of Schleindel, the bank spy,
shipments Of automobiles have been
very heavy in the Jersey yards recent
ly. Here is information that light
er containing $50 of them will cross
the river tomorrow for shipment to
France. I would suggest that you
choose that as your part Of the plan"
Won LertZ rose.
Il know the man who can handle
1t for me- he said. 'T'u see him at
once. Goodnight"
Goodnight" answered Rintelen.
Already he was reaching for his coat
and hat, even Forgetting his inevitable
disguise in his hurry to foment an
other part Of the great scheme against
New York's $4,000 longshoremen.
The Laboratory on Avenue "A".
But while they plotted and schem-
ed, Harrison Grant and Billy Cava-
naugh were making their way up the
rickety stairway that led to the bac-
teriologist's laboratory in the attic Of
a ramshackle building on Avenue A.
A quick twisting Of the knob and it
yielded. Harrison Grant and his
operative fumbled moment in the
darkness, then finding the switch Of
a table light. began their search.

Papers, musty old books on the de-
velopment Of cultures, newspaper

An ejaculation from Harrison
Grant.
Just what thought" he announc-
ed as he opened a small memorandum
book. THE attempt against us to-
night was an afterthought. A sort Of a
vacation with death, as it were. This
man was brought to this country from
Germany for one purpose-the prop

other industries furnishing supplies

"Impossible!" Billy Cavanaugh's
eyes went wide with horror. Harri-
son Grant pointed.
There's the evidence" he answer
ed as he pointed to the notes of a
memorandum book he had brought
from the desk. Lets see what the
rest of it has to offer"

crinkling Of the pages as Harrison

book. A long silence. then

whats the matter?" Harrison
Grant paused with a finger in the air.
Billy Cavanaugh reached forward, and
taking the finger in his hand, lower
ed it.
"Nothing-only you were about to
touch that to your lips-and there's
no telling how many different kinds
of germs are on the pages Of that
book"
Harrison Grant smiled.
Thanks, Billy" he said softly, then
turned to his work again. A moment
more and he had risen, his eyes wide,
excited.
Get to telephone. quick!"
whats up?"
"A good deal. Wasn't there some
thing in the paper tonight about
trouble with the longshoremen?"
"Yes-but it's all settled up. That
is, the indications are that it will be
settled. Why?"
Because it's far from settled. Look
here!"
Germs For Longshoremen.
A finger pointed to a scrawled line
in the old memorandum book. Slow
Iy the words ware translated:

"The ones that contain the autos2
Yes"
Better give them to me. I can
trace the stuff better that way. That
lighter might make another load with
something else. Don't guess it makes
much difference though-just 30 we
sink some of the stuff"
Except" said Heinric Won Lertz,
IF we can strike a double blow, it's
all the more to our advantage. A
hundred and fifty auto ambulances
lying at the bottom Of the river won't
do France any good, you know. So
sink these cars If you possibly can"
For Rinleten also was busy in his
scheme Of destruction. Far down in
the lower end Of New York, the arch
plotter. his hand covering his face as
he talked, to prevent the recognition
by any possible rowing Secret Service
man or detective, his eyes moving
constantly, his whole, hunted being
nerved and ready for instant escape,

York and was giving his orders in the
name Of Imperial Germany.

deprived of the necessities of war.

that angers a man so much as dep

what our spies must commit-and
then We must fasten the blame on
the longshoremen. It will create a
breach that nothing can closet"
Hurriedly they gathered for con-
ference. And while they plotted the
stagnation Of all eastern America
Harrison Grant rose from his desk,
and turned with a little sigh to look
into the grinning face of Pat Hen
Messy. the Irish caretaker Of the club.
