CHAPTER xi.
MIR. Sprouse Abandons Literature at
an Early Hour in the Morning.

au EdTiy III Tic wi 0TItfI9s
After thrashing about in his bed for
seven sleepless hours, Barnes arose
and gloomily breakfasted alone. He
was not discouraged over his failure
to arrive at anything tangible in the
shape of plan of action. 1t was in
conceivable that he should not be able
in very short order to bring about the
release of the fair guest of Green
Fancy. There was not the slightest
doubt in his mind that international
affairs of considerable Importance
were involved and that the agents Op-
Grating at Green Fancy were under
definite orders.
Mr.. Sprouse came into the dining
room as he was taking his last swal-
low of coffee.
"Ah, good morning." was the bland
little mans greeting. "Up with the
lark, l see. Mind If I sit down here
and have my eggs?" He pulled out a
chair opposite Barnes and coolly sat
down at the table.
"YOu can't sell me set of Dickens
at this hour of the day." said Barnes
sourly. Besides, I've finished my
breakfast. Keep your seat" He start
ed to rise.
"Sit down." said Sprouse quietly.
Something In the mans voice and man.
ner struck Barnes as oddly compelling.
He hesitated a second and then re-
sumed his seat. 1--WE been investi-
eating you, Mr.. Barnes" said the little
man, unsmilingly Don't get sore.
There are lot of things that you don't
know, and one of them is that / don't
sell books for living. It's something
of side line with me-" He leaned
forward. II shall be quite frank with
you, sir. / am secret service man.
Yesterday I went through your effects
upstairs, and last night I took the lib
erty of spying upon you, so to speak,
while you were guest at Green

said Sprouse. "My government
which isn't yours, by the way-sent
me up here five weeks ago on a GER
tain undertaking. / am supposed to
find out what is Matching up at Green
Fancy. Having satisfied myself that
you are not connected with the gang
up there l cheerfully place myself in
your hands. Mr.. Barnes. You were at
Green Fancy last night. So was I.
You had an advantage over me, how

zone of my purposes in revealing
myself to you, Mr.. Barnes, Is to warn
you to steer clear Of that crowd. You
may find yourself in exceedingly hot
water later on If you don't. Another
purpose, and the real one, is to secure,
if possible, your cooperation in beat
ing the game up there. You can help
me, and in helping me you may be In
strumental in righting one Of the
gravest wrongs the world has ever
known"
"Will you be good enough, Mr..
Sprouse, to tell me just what you are
trying to get at? know nothing what
ever against Mr.. Curtis and his
friends. You assume great deal"
Excuse me, Mr. Barnes. I'll admit
that you don't know anything against
them, but you suspect whole lot. To
begin with, you suspect that two men
were shot to death because they were

The full refinement OF tenant
gouging has been mastered by the
landlord of the Ell Beudor apart
ments, Eighteenth and Dodge
streets, according to tenants in the
building.
With all apartments in the city
filled to capacity, the landlord of
the Ell Beudor is pursuing policy
of rent-raising, the latest exhibition
of which. is an increase of SIS a
week in apartments having two
rooms and a kitchenette, besides
three small closets, called a. bath
room and dressing rooms. Other
apartments were raised in rent pro-
portionately.
This brings the rent OF this small
apartment to $40 week, or $loO a
month.
Rent Not Only Raise.
But this landlord knows other
ways Of gouging his helpless ten
ants besides raising the rent. For
example, prices for laundry have
just been doubled. Some increases
were as follows Bedspreads, for
merly 10 cents, now 20 cents; sheets,
formerly cents, now 10 cents;
slips, formerly cents, now cents;
napkins, formerly | cent, now 2
cents; dresser scarfs, formerly 5
cents, now cents,
The refinements of the rent-rais-
ing art are shown by the fact that
a few articles. seldom washed, like
bed pads and lace curtains, were not
increased in price.
One woman who, with her hus-
band, occupies one of the $40 apart
ments, told of another way that the
landlord is proiteering.
. when we took this apartment
we had scrub maid service every
other day." she said. ,"Within few
weeks this was REDUCED to twice "a
week, and later to once week, and
now we are lucky if we get this
service once in 10 days.
Must Pay For Them.
when we came here the bed
linens and towels we're all furnished
and Numbered free. About month
later we received notice that we
would have to pay for them.
The price of ice books which
was $3.50 at first is now $3.50.
Before we came here we lived at
the Hotel Fontenelle and we had
a splendid room for, 500 month.
And we had service which we don't
get here, The housekeeper called
up at least once a week and asked
how our room was. She would
come and inspect it and frequently
call in another maid and make her
do the cleaning again. Everything
was speckless. "
"Here in the Ell Beudor the serv-
ice is frightful / came in here one
day after the scrub maid was sup

Increases Right Along.
Things aren't like this. in other
cities. My husband and I and our
SON lived in the Victoria hotel in
Des Moines lin a suite OF rooms
nearly twice as big as these and we
paid 500 month rent. When we
left there a friend of ours took the
apartment. That was year ago. I
heard just recently that the rent to-
day is only sos
The story of the Ell Beudor as
told by other tenants is one of con-
tinual increases in rents and prices
of service. Hardly a week passes
without increases of some sort.
Tenants live there in constant pro-
test, but helpless because of the
scarcity of apartments, to do any
ing. but submit to imposition.

LONDON. March 1.-THE man whom

On letter patent creating Sir T. II.

On letters patent appointing II. r. II.

On letters patent creating the Order

Other unusual payments include:
Warrant granting leave of absence TO

BERLIN, April "A new German crisis
is approaching with unexpected rapidly
and will clearly be OF a much graver
nature than either of the January o.
March disturbances. The storm centre
this time Is in Bavaria, especially in
Munich.
In the last three weeks a complete
change has come over the situation in
the South. At the beginning of March
nobody would have dreamed OF issuing
calls for the people to come to great
meetings held every day. two such meet
ings numbering between 5000 and 5000
persons Many women now advocate
unauthorized Bolshevism.
Or. Neurath. Minister for Commun-
ism, Socialism and Solidarism." ad
dresses meetings which are not even
disguised Bolshevism. For a time
men were obliged TO doff their hats and
women TO cross themselves on passing
the spot where Kurt Eisner was muir
dered. On the other hand the churches
admit ordinances are more neglected.
Big meetings demand the dissolution
and abolition OF the elected parliament
and the handing over OF Bavaria to
Bolshevism.
Politically there has arisen section
| even more extreme than the Spartacists
These are the so-called Syndcalists who
appear TO be led or inspired by the
Terrorsts who escaped after the oc-
| oupation OF Dusseldorf by Government
troops at the last uprising
Bolshevism is working in Germany
| just as It worked in Hungary, by prop
| uganda combined with its most effec-
| tive weapon. namely the wrecking OF
| industry and the removal of opportuni-
| ties for work.
! Throughout Bavaria the Bolshevist
agents with Socialist aid and other help
| have succeeded in convincing a large
proportion of the industrial population
that the object of the Entente govern
! vents is to wreck all German indus
! tries. drive the population to emigrate
and insure a monopoly of work for En-
| tente factories.
| The situation i'm Berlin appears to be
| that the Spartacans themselves were
| until lately uncertain whether a general
strike alone could be relied upon to
achieve a Bolshevist revolution now or
whether 1t should be combined with a
general armed uprising. I am unable
to say which view has prevailed.
In Hungary Count Karolyi handed
over his authority to the Soviets. wher
by misma nagemept he had produced
ruin but by the aid of the press h,
succeeded in getting the bulk OF tn,
people to believe that Entente brutality
was the cause Of their hopeless situa
ton. II can be safely said the effort.
of the Bolsherists and Spartacists ar,
directed toward producing deliberately
in Germany the conditions which il
Budapest made the Bolshevist couI
d 'etat possible.
