 After walking through this I got on the kOCuigstra Soc. and shortly af- forwards hailed one of the few taxis then left on the streets of Berlin. gavo the address of a friend in Pots dam, and was driven there. My friend was the wife of a Prussian officer who had fallen in the early days of the war but she herself was an Amer ican who had no sympathy with the Central Powers I thought it highly proba bIe she would know of the hue and cry after me, but I was sure she would never denounce me to my enc mics As l surmised she had heard the story, but nevertheless received me with open arms, and l agreed that her house was the safest place for me 10 hide in
 In this mparatively safe refuge I thought often of the strange man of the German Secret Service who had proved such a friend to me. and wondered who he was, and by what strang ways he had got into the German Secret Service-I wondered also if any harm had come to him for what must have been at least re- Eardad as serious neglect.
 This mystery was partly solved when ! read in the German papers some days afterwards of the amazing adventures of two Secret Service men who had been conveying a dangerous woman spy to an interrogation fixed with the chief of police It appear ed from the account that while one of the agents had gone away to in quire about some documents bear ing on the case the woman suddenly thrust a chIOrOfOrmed handkerchief over the face of the remaining Se- cret Service man. and then must have vanished for the victim was found in the car quite unconscious. ana was unable to give the barest explana- ton of the outrage afterwards
 It was on my return to London few days afterwards that the mystery of this man. who was known in Ger many as VoEes, was completely sOlv- ed. Then I learned that he was indeed one of the most daring of our Secret Service men. who had conceived the idea of goin~ to Germany and offer ing himself 10 the Kaiser's Secret Service as one of the best ways of carrying on his own work. He was thus employed when he heard of the danger that threatened me, and Knowing what useful work I had per formed. he was determined that I should not be caught He had man. aged to get included in the party of Secret Service men sent to affect my arrest
 If was impossible for him to aid my escape while too many of his as sociates were about, but when only the two of them were with me he invented an excuse for sending his companion away, and when he had arranged my escape in the manner have described, he rendered him self unconscious by means of chlor- oforrncd handkerchief.
 The daring man has reached Eng land safely after his risky adventures in Germany and so far from having had enough excitement he is eager 10 put his head into the lions den in Russia

 Before going back to tell of some of my early adventures in Germany, l would like to speak of my last es- capade before the armistice came. While I was resting with my Aneri- can friend at Potsdam I had a. visit from the man who had succeeded Charters as head of inc organiza- tiCn.
 After complimenting me on my good luck, he said, "Only you, Miss Westerman would have come back here after your experience at Spa Some day I may tell you the full story of your capture and release, but for the time being l must be sticking to business of a less divert ing if more dangerous character. have a commission for you that will prob aiy appeal to your love of ad- venture and give you all the thrill you could ask for.
