"Breslau" exclaimed the princess
Now 1 understand"
Who is he, princess?"
HE is the most notorious inter
national spy in the world-a protean
5 individual with aliases, professions
ana experiences sufficient for an en-
tire Jail full of criminals. His father
was a German Jew; his mother a
Circassian girl; he was educated in
3 Germany, France, Italy and England.
He has been a member of the social
list group in the reichstag under one
5 name, member of the British par
work for Abdul Hamid; dirtier for
Enver Bey.
He is here, there, everywhere; he
turns up in Brazil one day, and is
next in evidence in Moscow. What
he is SO eternally about God only
knows; what chanceIlery he serves,
which he betrays, is question that
occupies many uneasy minds this
very hour, L fancy.
But of this I, personally, am now
satisfied; Karl Breslau is responsible
for the robbery of your papers to-
day, and the entire affair was accom-
plished under his direction"

"that after he and Kestner tried to
blow up the captains cabin and the

Kestner and Use Dumont are here

"Then I'll wager L know where

"Where?"

they expect to pluck and fleece the

The princess had fallen very ST.

imated face as he detailed his knowl-
edge of what had occurred.

added "Theer might be a chance to
recover the box and the papers"
The princess shook her pretty
head
I'VE have to be very careful how
we use the police, James. 1t seems
simple, but it is not. 1 can't explain
the reasons, but we usually pit spy
