was something about the face Of the
civilian that reminded him of the
two officers who were in his office
when it disappeared.
Snyder was just coming out of the
anesthetic and they were surprised
to hear him speak in German, which
they quickly translated, for both had
been born in German communities,
where the German language was
spoken and understood.
The officers from Fort Myer recOg-
nized him and were speeehless as
they recognized from his many ref
erences to Mrs. Thayer that she was
employed with him in the secret
service Of the Huns, and that they
were both afraid lest some China
men and Fuller might not be square
with them.
Imagine their surprise to be sum-
moned by the sergeant to pass upon
Fuller's request for a pass. "Not if
know it," said Captain Pixley who,
after service abroad, lad just been
assigned to- Camp Humphreys to act
as adjutant.
With instructions for the sergeant
to wait, he got Washington on the
telephone and communicated with the
head Of the military intelligence Of
what he heard from Snyder and what
he believed about Fuller.

As she opened the flowers, Made

was undetermined whether to make

Major, your face appears very

the Majors eagle eyes were taking
in the room to see where WI Tsang
could be in hiding (for Snakes had
