SYNOPSIS.

The chief characters are Ethel Will
ioughby, Henry Streetman and Capt
Larry Redmond The minor characters
are Sir George Wagstaff of the British
admiralty and Charles Brown, New
York newspaper correspondent. Ethel,
a resident of Sir Georges household,
secretly married to Streetman, German
spy though she did not know him as
such Captain Redmond, her old lover,
returns to England after long absence.
From him she learns the truth about
Streetman; furthermore, that he has
betrayed her simply to learn naval Sc

Ethel prepares to accompany Streetman

Redmond, Ethel and Charlie Brown turn
up at a Belgian inn as the German army
comes. She is Madame de Lorde. She
begins to work with French spy. The
Germans appear at the inn. Madame de
Lorde shows a German secret service

is German spy. Charlie Brown barely es-
