It was late at night. In his private
office, Harrison Grant was puzzline
over a report by Tom Bailey, an OPP
erative, announcing a condition rath-
er unpleasant for the president Of the
Crlminology club. For the letter
simply announced:
Harrison Grant, 49,
"Cgiminology Club.
Dear Sir-Beg to report that all I
can learn about Miss Dixie Mason is
that she is almost constantly in the
company Of the Germans, particularly
helnric Won LertZ.
Yours truly,
BAILEY,
Cooperative"
Thereby, for Harrison Grant, a
mystery remained unsolved, a nys-
terry which nettled him, angered him.

Hence the private investigation which
Grant had ordered to be made by his
operative, Bailey, with the resultant
report. Half angrily Harrison Grant

faraway part of the city, Dixie

And that the battle still was i'm
minent, was more than apparent in
the stopped, bearded figure of a man
who stood fumbling at the lock Of an
office in one Of the biggest buildings
Of lower New York. He had kept in
the shadows on his way to the office.
He had shielded his face in the ele-
vator-and for a reason. Franz Won
Rintelen, arch plotter for Kaiser Will
helm, friend of the Crown Prince,
and special emissary to the United
States withmore than fifty million
dollars to spend on destruction, was
living under an alias. He had shifted
his office since the capture Of his river
pirates by Harrison Grant, changed
his name to e. V. Gates, and even had
resorted to the melodramatie level of

where he recently was sentenced for
his activities against America. In his
trunks at that time were found more
