Tho Man who Would Know Ii

The Man Who Would Know Life.
Later that day O'Reilly set out to
reconnoiter the city of Neuvitas. He
was followed, of course-he had ex.
pected as much, and the circumstances
amused rather than alarmed him. But
when he returned to his hotel and
found that his room had been visited
during his absence he felt a hint of
uneasiness. Evidently, as Doctor Al
varado had forecast, the authorities
were interested in him; and he had
further evidence of the fact when he
learned that the room next him was
occupied by the very man who had
shadowed him on the street. Inasmuch
as the intervening wall was no more
than a thin partition. through which
his very breathing could be heard,
while his every movement could doubt
less be spied upon, O'Reilly saw the
need of caution.
During breakfast, and afterward
throughout an aimless morning stroll,
O'Reilly felt watchful eyes upon him.
When he returned to his hotel he
found Mr.. Carbajal In the cafe con-
cocting refrescos for some military Off
GERS. who scanned the American with
bold. hostile glances. O'Reilly COM
planned to the proprietor Of tooth
ache. He declared that something had
to be done at once. and inquired the
name and address Of the best local
dentist.
Mr.. Carbajal named several, among
them DR.. Tomas Alvarado. whereupon
his guest hurried away, followed at
respectful distance by the secret
agent.
