CHAPTER XII
"Spare Nobody! I Say, Spare
Nobody!"

On his way home Mr.. Gryce stopped
at the Calderon to inquire how Mrs.
Taylor was doing, and what his pros
poets were for limited Interview
with her.
He was told that no such interview
could be considered for days-that she
still lay in a stupor, with brief flashes
of acute consciousness, during which
she would scream mo! no!'-that
brain fever was feared and that In
creased excitement might be fatal.
Another bar to progress! He had
hoped to help her memory into supply
ing him with fact which would
greatly simplify task whose anomal-
les secretly alarmed him. She had
been in a fair state of mind before her
nerve was attacked by the event which
robbed the little Angeline, Of life" and
herself Of reason, and IL carefully ap-
preached. might possibly recall some
of the Impressions made upon her pre-
vious to that moment. If. for instance,
she could describe even In general
way the appearance of any person she
may have seen advancing, In the .direc-
tion of the northern gallery at the mo-
ment she herself turned to enter the
southern one, what stability 1t would
give to his theory. and what certainty
to his future procedure!a ="
But he must wait for this, rs he
must wait for Angeline's story from
Nine. Duclos. Meantime, a word with
Sweetwater-after which, rest.
1T was Mr.. Gryce's custom, especial
ly when engaged upon a case Of mark
ed importance, to receive this. his rec
ognized> 'factotum, in his own home.
No prying ears. no watchful eyes. were
to be feared there, He was the abso-
lutte master of everything, even Of
Sweetwater. he sometimes thought.
For this young fellow loved bin
had reason to; and when Sweetwater
played the violin, as he sometimes did
after one Of their long talks, the aged
detective came as near happiness as
he ever did. now that his little grand
child was married and had gone with
her husband to the other side of the
world. r....- .r..
Tonight he was not anticipating any
such relaxation as this, yet to Sweet
water, arriving later than he wished,
he mad never looked more IN need OF 1t,
as, sitting in his old and somewhat
dingy library, he mused over some lit
tie object he held in his half CLOSED
palm, with an intent. careworn gaze
which 1t distressed his young subor-
dinate to see. Uncertainty tnoites the
young and fires them to action; but it
wearies the old and saps what little
strength they have; and Sweetwater
detected uncertainty in his patrons
troubled brow and prolonged stare at
the insignificant article absorbing his
attention.
However, Gryce reused quickly at
the young detectives CHEEKY greeting,
and looking up with an answering well
come, plunged at once into business.

did the man say?"

But he did not drop into 1t, as the in
1pector expected. Or give any other

One of three German long-range

Anxious with regard to meas

Leboucq, Il went to see the general
commanding a certain sector, who
showed me photographs and gave
me information.
The photographs show that the
guns are placed exactly between

Two spur lines start from the sta
ton. On these the heavy guns are
moved to the firing platforms.
The first spur has a branch

is empty. Its gun has been de-

camoufiage the sound of the big gun
so it's location cannot be judged

Is Dismissed

Amsterdam, April 26.-Vice Ad
miral Chroeder, the commander at
Zeebrugge, according to reports
reaching here, will be deprived of
his command for being taken by

German newspapers, in comment

official reports at Berlin and rep
resent the enterprise as having
been a failure. Some, however, ad-
NIT that the attack was made with
great boldness.

the fact that Emperor William Wis

Official notification of the en-

ceived today and has caused much
perturbation. Officials declined to
indicate the probable reasons but
in some quarters it was suggested
the measure was in retaliation for
the American requisitioning OF
Dutch ships. Elsewhere it was
thought to have been prompted by
the critical situation in which Hol-
land finds herself with Germany.
Need by L. 5. in War.
The embargo on tin and tin ore
will prove especially embarrassing
to the United States. Supplies
needed for munitions and food pres
ervation were expected to come
from the Dutch East Indies. About
sixteen thousand tons of tin was
bought there last year. Cinchona
bark, quinine and quinine salts are
needed for medical purposes in the
army.
The United States is almost de-
pendent for tin on the outside
world. Production in this country
last year amounted to only 80 tons
circulation AS the American de-
posits are only periodically pro-
ductive, it is probable that Bolivia
now will be looked to for sup
ply.
