SYNOPSIS.

CHAPTER MARK Wallace, a young
officer in the United States army, is
wounded at the battle of Santiago. While
wandering alone in the jungle he comes
across dead man in a hut outside OF
which little girl is playing. When he
Is rescued, he takes the girl to the hospi-
tai and announces his intention of adopt
ing her.
CHAPTER Hills commanding officer,
Major Howard, tells him that the dead
man was Hampton, a traitor who sold
war department secrets to an interna-
tional gang in Washington, and was de-
tected by himself and Kellerman while
they were working in the same office
with him. Howard pleads to be allowed
to send the child home to his wife and
they agree that she shall never know her
fathers shame.
CHAPTER III-Several years later Wal
lace visits Eleanor at a young ladies'
boarding school. She declares that when
she is eighteen she intends to marry Wal
lace.
CHAPTER IV-Years pass. Wal
lace is stationed out West. On the out
break of the European war Colonel How
ard secures him staff post in Washing
ton.
CHAPTER Vile finds Eleanor there,
the center of attraction, also Kellerman,
In whom he discerns an antagonist.
CHAPTER VI-For years a strange
man has haunted Eleanor's footsteps,
following, but never accoSting her. One
night Wallace sees the man and follows
him to gambling house kept by Mrs Ken
son. Here he is attacked by Kellerman.
Wallace rescues him and takes him home,
but in the night Hartley disappears.

to maximum speed.
And this was not the small fan Gus
tomarily in use in the little office, but
q large one from the clerks room.
When Mark had left to interview
Hartley, he had seen Kellerman at
work through the glass door that con-
nected their two offices. Now Keller
mans desk was vacant.
Mark slammed down the window ;
there were two locks, and Mark and
Kellerman had each key. Nobody
could have entered.
But Mark was positive that Keller
man had set the fan. 1t stood on a
shelf against the partition. Looking
up, Mark saw that there was a tiny
hole Immediately behind it, large
enough to permit an inserted wire to
push back the lever that controlled the
rotary apparatus. Yet this might have
been nothing but wormhole in the
wood framework of the door.
With a gasp Of rage Mark hastily
stopped the fan and ran back to his
desk. He began collecting the papers

on the radiator. The floor was Uttered

Of your unfortunate mistake in adopt

"In fact, dear Captain Wallace, you
have been the victim of circum-
stances" went on Mrs. Henson. II
suppose you know that the world has
changed good deal during your fif-
teen years of exile? Well, this war,
for example. It's shocking rover

at each others threats, when their diff

The frankness and audacity of the
disclosure astounded Mark. So this
was one center of "they," as Colonel
Howard had. called the nucleus of Teu-
tonic spies and agents in America.
1--WE are trying our hardest to pre-
vent America from being dragged into
this maelstrom," continued Mrs. Ken
son. "You, Captain Wallace, were I'M
fortunate enough to be working on the
other side. And-I'm sorry, but a little
trap was laid for you and Kellerman.
You walked right into it. Major Kel-
herman, who is very good fri~ld of
mine, acted in complete good faith.

Don't blame him. Don't blame your
self. Don't blame that wretched fell
low who came here the other night
to blackmail me. It was inevitable.
You see, when you adopted Hampton's
daughter you unconsciously put sort
of moose about your neck. There was
the possibility of your coming into con-
tact with Hampton's friends. The sys-
tenn is widespread, you know, and quite
twenty years old. So-you had to go
west.
Snow, Captain Wallace, I'm a frank
woman, and I'll put my proposition to
you. You don't want to see Major
Kellerman walk off with that pretty
ward of yours, do you? And you can't
marry her without little money.
Well, you could be very useful to us
in many ways. Would you, without
sacrificing your patriotism or revealing
any secrets, become salaried worker
of our organization?"
Mark stood up, trembling. "I-don't
quite understand" he said huskily ;
and the picture of Eleanor in Keller
mans arms at the dance swan before
his eyes. "What is it you want me to
dO?''
s'Use your influence and army knowl-
edge in our behalf. That little affair
of today will soon be forgotten. And
we'll help you to put Kellerman out
of business"

Who ever suggested such thing?"
That's what it amounts to-"
"A little influence on behalf of hui

"No!'' shouted Mark, quite beside
himself. "You're infamous. You ought
to be put out of the country!'
He strobe Indignantly toward the
door.
The electric light in the passage had
gone out. The room grew dark behind
him. He CROPPED his way toward the
door.
Suddenly vivid light flashed before
his eyes. He heard, though he felt no
pain, the impact of hard weapon
upon the back Of his head. He flung

spasmodic movement, gained the door,
and ran down the corridor. Mark
looked after him in stupefaction. Hart

Suddenly, with an intuition of danger,
he hurried through the clerks Office,
unlocked his door, and entered.
