CHAPTER XVII.
Open sesame!

In spite of his usual facility for
sleep, Don Luis slept for three
hours at most. He was racked
with too much anxiety; and,
though his plan Of conduct was
worked out mathematically. he
could not help foreseeing ali the
obstacles which were likely to
Illustrate that plan. OF course,

1t doesn't let him in for any
thing. And, at the same time. he
would be running big risk if he
refused, especially as Valenglay
must have been consulted about
my arrest and is obviously kept
informed of all that happens. .
He next asked himself what ex-
actly Valenglay could do, once he
was told. For, after all, was 1t
mot too much to expect that the
head of the government, that the
Prime Minister, should put him
lself out to obey the iniunctions

Arsene Lnpins
He will come! - he cried, with

Valenglay doesn't care hang
for form and ceremony and all
that nonsense. He will come,

that he knew where you were
hanging out. And there's a good
deal more which well explain to
you, Lupin, in good time. You'll
have plenty of fun, | assure you. "
Don Luis murmered:
My poor Mazeroux
Then, raising his voice, heisaid :
Don t cry, old chap. It's just
a matter OF the remainder of the
night. Yes, I'll share my cards
with you; and we turn the king
and mark game in very few
hours. Don't cry. I've got a
much finer berth waiting for you,

a more lucrative position. l have
just what you want.
You don't imagine, surely,
that | wasn't prepared for this
Why, you know me! Take it from
me: | shall be at liberty tomorrow
and the government, after setting
you free, will pitch you into a
colonelcy of something, with a
marshal's pay attached to it. So
don't cry, Mazeroux.
Then, addressing Weber, he
said to him in the voice of a prin-
cipal giving an order, and know
ing that the order will be exc
cuted without discussion:
Monsieur, | will ask you to
fulfill the confidential mission
which [ was entrusting to Maze
roux. First, inform the Project
of Police that | have a communi-
cation of the very highest import
ance to make to the Prime Min
lister. Next, discover the tiger S
tracks at Versailles before the
night is over. [ know your merit,
Monsieur, and | rely entirely up
on your diligence and your zeal.
Meet me at II O'Clock tomor-
row.
And, still maintaining his atti-
tude of principal who has given
his instructions, he allowed him
self to be taken to his cell.
1t was ten to one. For the last
80 minutes the enemy had been
bowling along the highroad, car
rying off Florence like prey
which it now seemed impossible
to snatch from him.
The door was locked and bolt

Don Luis reflected:
Even presuming that Mon

up Valenglay, he won't do so be-
fore the morning. So they We

He thought little longer, then
shrugged his shoulders with the
air OF one who, for the moment,
has nothing better to do than wait
and flung himself on his fattress,
|murmuring:

u. S. HOLD WOMAN AS SPY
Nine. Marie De Victorica Arrested on
Long Island.

New York, April 29-Mme. Marie
De Victorica, suspected by federal Of
ficials of being a German spy, and
who has been active in this country
for the lats 10 months, was arrested
in a Long Island hotel by agents of
the department of justice. She is tenn
porarily detained In the prison ward
at Bellevue hospital in a highly nerv-
Gus condition. The authorities consid-
er her most dangerous enemy alien.
Her special work here, 1t is said,
was to spread German propaganda
among the Irish, acting as chief aid
to a lieutenant commander Of the Ger
man navy who has been working
among Sim Fein sympathizers to get
them to join the English navy with
a view to placing bombs on English
war vessels.
Stories told to federal officials by
the woman were contradictory, it Is
said. A young Irish woman, Marga-
ret Sullivan, also was taken into GUS
tody at the same time. She has been
employed by Nine. de Victorica as a
maid.

"Jackie Special" With 1,4o0 Mer
Aboard, tIlt by Northwestern Lo-

Chicago, April 90. Twenty-eight
jackies were hurt, many Of them
gravely enough to be sent to a hos
pital, and the lives Of hundreds of 9th
ers were jeopardized by a collision
just before midnight Saturday just
north of Summertime station. 1t was
due to fog. The Jackie Special, %
with 1000 men aboard, was struck by
the Waukegan local, which was follow
ing close behind.
The following men were taken to
the hospital:
Thomas r. Collins, seaman, injured
knee; Roland Cleland, electrician
scalp wounds; Joseph III. Elliott, ap-
prentice seaman, confusion OF head ;
Harry Ehmcke, apprentice seaman,

prentice seaman, contusions Of head ;
Alex j. Sikorski, apprentice seaman,
badly bruised; e. T. Sewandowski,
landsman electrician, contusions of
head.
1t was the general opinion Of the
wreck victims themselves, railroad
officials and witnesses that loss of
life was prevented because of the
fact that the special was an all-steel
train.

With the American Army in France,
April 29.-The enemy laid down a
heavy barrage in front of the Ameri-
can trenches in the TOul sector at
three O'Clock in the morning, the bonn
bardment lasting an hour
After an interval of silence he re-
peated the performance at five o'clock
and half an hour later the German in
fantry started for the American lines.
So intense was the American counter
attack that the enemy was repulsed
without getting close enough to be en-
gagged by the American infantry.
The Germans have been stripping
the bodies of dead French soldiers In
other sectors and, wearing these
clothes, have come over at the point
where the French and American lines
join.
This method of attack was used
during the attack on the Americans at
Apremont forest two weeks ago. On
that occasion they spoke French and
said they had come to assist the Amer
leans, but the ruse was discovered and
they were driven off.

TAR SAVES HIS SHIP
U. S. Sailor Leaps on Depth Bomb
Bomb Loose in Storm.
Bave Act Announced by Secretary
Daniels-Hero Given Medal of
Honor and 500.

Washington, April 29.-How John
Mackenzie, a chief boatswain'S mate
In the naval reserve, by extraordi-
nary heroism saved the converted
yacht Remlik, on patrol service In
European waters, was told In an an
nouncement by Secretary Daniels that
the navy department had awarded
Mackenzie the medal of honor and a
gratuity of 800.
During a heavy gale on December
IL a depth charge weighing several
hundred pounds broke loose from its
fastenings at the stern of the Remlik
and went sweeping about the deck.
The heavy seas washing over the quar-
terdeck made it dangerous for anyone
TO attempt TO reach that part of the
ship.
As officers and crew watched the
bomb, some one saw the safety pin
fall out of the charge, making it a
source of serious danger to the vessel
and crew.
Mackenzie, realizing the danger,
shouted: Watch me I'll get it, and
dashed down the deck, fiinging him
self upon the charging cylinder.
Before the war Mackenzie had
served four years in the regular navy.
He is a native of Massachusetts and
his mother, Mrs. Mary Mackenzie,
lives in South Hadley Falls, Mass.
