widow When the maid saw Nine. Storch, whom
she had seen in London as Nine. Hesqueth, in
the company of the colonel, whom she also recog-
ognized, in Glasgow, she became suspicious. She
had already learned enough, by clever interest
in the strangers who made that city their head
quarters, to assure her that German agents were
all around her.
The maid reported her suspicious to her mis-
tress. There was a quiet investigation by the
Duchess herself. One morning a squad of sol
diers took position in the hotel corridor outside
the colonel's apartments, while the squad leader

army in disgrace, his military career ended

the Fall of 1915 that Nine. Storch again appeared
in public. This time it was at San Juan, the
harbor in Porto Rico where number of German
ships were informed, and where their crews and
officers were celebrating their temporary idle
ness by enjoying the somewhat bizarre life of the
exotic little city
1t was known even then that San Juan was the
headquarters of German agents assigned to the

Nine. Storch entered Porto Rico by use of a
passport procured for her by the now notorious
Captain Ladeaux. It was one of the famous

band Of spies, as has been previously related.
Among the informed Germans at San Juan were

But Nine. Nezie never reached the city on the

1t is certain Nine. Storch

Citizens of the different
American nations who had

how far. From them she
learned, too, where her sin
