Astonishcd Admiralty.
 It was agreed that she was to take mo to see her friend whose hints were of such value to the Germans, and next night I met him in Soho.
 He did not lose time beating about the bush. but told me at once that he wanted information about the move ment of troops and ships or any oth- CT information could get that would throw light on the plans of the Al lies.
 Nothing is too trillng. ."-he said. ''You never know what 1t may be possible to deduce from the simplest fact recorded in a soldiers letter home to his people or in casual con versation you hear in trains or res taurants."
 l agreed to act as an agent and this man who was afterwards shot in the Tower of London, mainly through information given by ire, let me into a secret of his work mat was some thing of a revelation. He was ac- tuaIIy running a committee for en- +crtain!ns lonely British officers in Itndon. and wa recognized by the attthorities ha ing official letters thanking him or his efforts to pro vide hospitalLy for stranger officers in town.
 That niEat two very important guests were due to arrive, and he ask ed me to take them along with Wer- thelm. agreed, and we met the two men. They were on the staff of a new army then being trained in England. and the enemy were curious 10 know Its destination. knew that if wertheim got at the officers frst there would bo no chance of car ryinE out my plans to get bogus in formation for the Germans. l there fore told her that as I passed the house in which she lived, just off OK ford circus, I had seen q boy with q telegram which, l fancied was for her.

They entered into the spirit of the thing, and when Wertheim came back she found two of the easiest victims she had ever struck.

 This surprising piece of information was duly passed to our employer, and by him transmitted to Germany. the British authorities placing no obsta- cles in the way of its passage to a butter merchant carrying on busi- ness in Holland. though the code was well known
 For about three weeks I worked with these people. and at the end of that time I was invited to visit the house where the man I then knew as Mir. Percy Williams was living I i'm agined that the object of the sum mons was to put mo into some new task. but my surprise was great when I discovered the real object found there Wertheim and four other men beside "williams"
 Dinner was served, and afterwards we adjourned to a large sitting-roorn where the host was to explain the business that had brought us togeth- CT. Wertheim left the house on some pretext, which I forget, and I remained with five men. Over smokes and coffee the host suddenly preached the object of the visit by saying. How long have you been in the employment of the British Secret Service to watch us?"
 gave a gasp of astonishment that would of itself have betrayed me The question was so unexpected that 1t took my breath away. I stam- mered out a word or two meant to be repudiation of the suggestion, but williams" was sure of his ground
