The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-11-05

London, Nov. - 4 bewitching young neutral, with a1Iuring blue eyes and an angel-Iike presence, who nar- rowIy escaped shooting for her trea- chery during the war, has been tenn poraTily held up in this country until such time as a ship can be found to take her to, 8 far off land. All being well she will turn her back on Bri- tain in 9 few days, and she will leave London q sadder and wiser girl
 The guests at q West End board ing house, with whom she mixed free Iy, had no idea of her identity, but had the patient sleuth who guarded his dainty prisoner cared to speak he would have thrilled them with one Of the most engaging stories Of the great war.
 His charge was none other than Q famous girl spy, the sweetheart of an ober-Iieutenant who was killed in one of the German airships brought down while raiding London. She had just completed q stern sentence, and rath- CT than face her own people expressed a wish to be sent thousands of miles away where she could start life fresh and forget the past.
 Enlisted as Spy.
 They called her Miss Hook of HOl- land" for she was born in a little cottage on the banks of the Zuyder Zee. Her Tarents were poor folk, but nature had endowed her with good looks, which she quickly turned to ad- vantage on the stage. She was only a girl when war broke out and the dan gerous game in which she was subse- quently induced to take a hand ap- pealed to her more as an exciting ad- Ee0t1ITa Fll9T} anVTlinC else
 The crafty, calculating German agents who poured into Holland after the outbreak of hostiIities, with no thought for the future of an innocent and Inexperienced girl, tempted her with irresistible offers of jewelry and luxury, and in a moment of weakness she agreed to undertake a journey full of peril.
 With a fine contempt for danger she set out, and having obtained forged passports she left for London. For tunate enough not to be intercepted on her arrival in this country. Miss Hook sat happy and contented in the lounge of q big hotel. Presently she was joined by an elderly gentleman, who was to act as her guide and her friend in the enterprise that was to bring her riches and money. They chatted together for some time, and | then adjourned for dinner. The disparsity of their ages struck many people, mono more so than the quite obserVant man whose duty it was to keep a watchful eye. on stran- gers and visitors at this particular rendezvous. Obviously they were not father and daughter, and close eX- animation of their features assured 1 him that there was no relationship. | Neither were they man and wife, and | the courtesy and kindness with which ! the elderly gentleman treated the lit | tie lady suggested nothing more than | that he was chaperoning her in the ! absence of her parents.
 Tea Cup Fortunes. l The pair remained at the hotel for l some days and meantime Miss Hook'' | became a general favorite with the other guests. After dinner each even ] ing a little crowd would gather round i her and she would amuse them for 1 hours by telling fortunes out of tea cups or by reading the lines on their | hands.
 There was nothing in all this te e6- | cite suspicion but the quiet man puff | d a big cigar and did not relax his l igil. He looked and wondered and speoulated.
