sentences that while circling down

captain emerged and saw himself
confronted by the United States de-
stroyer.
He was peremptorily ordered to
have his crew all come on deck, and
the jackies from the destroyer took
possession. Major Knowles and Cap
tain Henderson were unbound and
Mrs. Thayer and WI Tsang taken az
prisoners aboard the destroyer.
Hello, Captain Henderson" said
the commander OF the destroyer as he
cIamored over the side; what are
you doing here:"
Engaged in spotting a German
U-boat for you, guess, sir" said Cap.
tain Henderson chcerily. and he then
followed with a few words Of expla-
nation as to how he came to be
aboard. This is my friend, Major
Knowles, who was in the same plight
as myself, but thanks to you we have
escaped at least a very uncomfort-
able experience, for the captain of
this craft was apparently headed for
the ocean, and probably for Germany.
1t will probably be to your advantage
TO keep this lady and her Chinese
friend under observation for the pres
ent at least"
Never fear but that we will do
that" answered the commander. 10
the meantime what can we do for
you?"
Both Henderson and Knowles were
OF the one opinion that it was TO their
advantage to get to shore as rapidIv
as possible, and so a little later when
the destroyer touched again at the
Navy Yard dock they Ieaped ashore
and made their way back to the Rail
eigh Hotel. On the way they bought
a copy Of The Times, which told Of
the arrest of the Chinks and published
a picture OF the mystical triangle with

but now again as by a miracle we
have found it, but that is only one OF
the symbols on the parchment that
contains the secret that we are after.

that gave value to everything; was 1t
not better now to think in these terms

FOLLOWING The TRAI
OF "CAMOUFLAGD"

DR.. William A. White, superinten-
dent OF the Government Hospital for
the Insane at Congress Heights, has
certainly evolve1 a remarkably iE-
teresting sequence TO the story Of

cate finesse with which DR.. white
handles the rapid-fire episodes in
strengthening out the intricate mass
OF tangled skeins in the web OF mys-
terry. all eliminating in another per
picking phase OF this kaleidoscope
maze OF bewiIdering happenings.
When l saw DR.. White a week age
he told me that never in his literary
experience had he ever attempted fic-
tion Writing-but the answer to DR..
White today is, Doctor, you are .
real literary thriller"
You will find Chapter MI today
not only very cleverly written, but
also couched in plain. straight-from-
the-shoulder English which all OF Us
can readily understand; the principals
OF the story are all accounted for,
and the running thread OF the mar
rative is left in such shape as will
undoubtedly cause Wilton J. Lambert,
the popularity known Washington
lawyer, some real literary troubles
when he takes up the narrative from
the very point handed him by DR..
White.
After reading today's story. think
you will all agree that DR.. Whites Of
fering to ''Camouhaged" is little short
of a classic. Read IL carefully, as

While all these events were rapidly
transpiring in the busy world, Msds-
line lay quietly in a little white bed
in one OF the private rooms in Sibley
Hospital. A nurse sat by the bedside.
and no noise disturbed the quiet OF
this Immaculate apartment other than
the muffled footballs of the nurses
along the hall outside as they went
from room to room and the subducJ
whispers OF conversation with the
house physicians as they reported the
condition of the different patients.
But back Of the apparent composuIe e
OF Madeline's features there were be-
ing re-enacted the scenes of early
days with her father in her Colorado
home. She was living over again this
period Of her life, watching with low
ing tenderness the white-bearded
kindly old man poring over his books
in his laboratory, stopping now and
again to attend to some process that
was going forward in his retorts, his
test tubes, or his combustion furnaces.
but ever with that air of detachment
from the world that belongs to poets
and dreamers. She had loved her
father devotedly, and he had been
tender and thoughtful parent, giving
her his most solicitous care, instruct
ing her in the profound principles Of
life, holding long discourses with ner
upon the mysteries of his work, talk
ing often about things which she little
understood, but always giving her d
feeling of being imbued with the high
est ideals, ever seeking those spiritual
transmutations which are the endur-
ing goals Of all human souls.
As she lay here she began to speak
in broken sentences, and her words
were addressed to her father. The
nurse, when she heard her speak and
mention her fathers name, was
startled because she had supposed the
nature of her injury would make
speech impossible and Immediately
took up the clinical chart and began
to transcribe what she said.

Meanwhile Lieutenant Kimban,
who had been refreshing his memory
OF the mystic inscription from a per-
usaI OF Pickwick Papers and had
gone on to that portion OF the mar
rative wherein Mr.. Pickwick is de-
scribed as being unable to sleep after
having made the great discovery Of
the stone upon which the inscription
that we are already familiar with
was rudely carved. and had sat down
by the light TO read a manuscript
which had been handed him that day.
The document was entitled "a Mad
mans Manuscript" The associations
which formed in Lieutenant Kimbalrs
mind as he perused the pages, made
him revert again to that conversation
with Madeline wherein he had COM
mented upon her fathers life am
bition 10 discover the means Of trans-
muting bsser metals into gold, and
he wondered after all whether all
OF their varied experiences since
Madeline had arrived in Washington
might not be as Pickwickian as the
inscription on the stone.
But then he remembered how his
implied doubt had hurt Madeline and
there surged up within him all those
complex feelings OF tenderness and
love and desire to protect and aid
her which he had first. become so con
scious OF only a little while ago
when he left her at the hospital with
the terrible consciousness that per
haps the blow on the head which she
had sustained in the Capitol might
have permanently impaired her 50
that she never would again be truly
his Madeline.
He fell to ruminatins upon this pos
sibiIity and he began to feel a great
resentment against fate for having
played him this awful trick and to
wonder whether after all there might
not be some other solution to the
horror which now presented itself to
his mind.
The doctor said that Madeline was
suffering from aphasia, both motor
and sensory, and she could neither
speak nor could she understand. but
did he not remember that as he stood
by her side a sweet smile had lighted
her countenance as If she had recog-
nized him, and did not this seem to
indicate that really she could under
stand and perhaps after all was not
so seriously injured as the doctor had
supposed?
And even though the formula in the
triangle might be pure balderdash,
was it, rot better to think of It as he
had thought OF it upon that occasion
