INTRODUCTION.
TANE Lorimer, just-ordinary
American girl. realizes in her own
experience, many of the fantastic
dreams of adventure in which even
very demure young women often in
dulge.
She was brought up in a small
town, the daughter of the president
of a country college, and by inheri-
lance and education she possessed
the energy, common sense, and re-
sourcefulness of the average we'll
educated American girl.
Jane became the war-bride of Bob
Lorimer, son of a millionaire NUM-
tons maker, and she passed the
period of her husbands military serv-
ice in swirl of startling adventures.
Captured by the crew of a U-boat,
and held prisoner beneath the sea,
she shot an officer, saved a United
States troopship from destruction,
and was rescued by Dr. Hamilton
Certeis, her father-in-law's best
friend, and once upon a time, a
sutton for her own hand. In this cpl
sode, Jane came upon the first hint
that Certeis is an accomplished in
ternational spy.
In another adventure, Jane Lori
mer lost her identity and was immur-
ed in an insane asylum. She escaped
in disguise, and found that by weird
trick of shell-shock, her husband, re-
turned from the war, had forgotten
that he had even been married!
But Jane believed that for each
woman there is but one mate, and
for each man but one woman, and
she connived with her husbands par
ents to keep her disguise and awaken
her husbands love anew. The scheme
came to happy conclusion, but only
after Bob, in his half -demdated state
had fallen under the charm of an un-
scruplous beauty, Katherine Miller.
Just as James adventures seemed
to end in her new life as bride, the
spy, Certeis, disappeared. He went
down into the sea, in divers suit, to
retrieve hoard of gems for his I'M
loved bride, Chrystobel, Bob's twin
sister. Jane Lorimer had informa-
ton that the U-boat in which the
gems were stored was protected by
explosives and she tried to save Ger
tets. She believed that she recoeniz-
ed him before he descended the lad
der. Later she discovered many evil
dences of his resurrection. and she
almost concluded that by wearing the
suit which he had himself in
vented, Certeis had walked the ocean
oed-to the shore!
Her opinion is reinforced by the
attest episode in her career.
The Lorimers have an adopted
illegitimate daughter of
A son who had crashed in the air
service. Jane alone knows that the
oaby's mother is the tawny beauty,
ler rival, who secretly plots to en-
angle Bob, and in whom Bob, in
spite of himself, is interested.
Miss Miller knows that while Bob |
was aboard, his wife had lived for
weeks in the house of the physician, |
Hamilton Certeis. And Miss Miller |
visits this knowledge to destroy
8ob's affection for his wife. To hurt |
lane still further, she steals the |
hid and sends it to Mexico, with the |
assistance of her butler, a spy who |
s still engaged in spreading Ger
nan propaganda.
Jane trails the child, finds it in |
Mexican hacienda, owned by a mys-
.erious person of Spanish ancestry.
Her unique method of rescuing the |
,aby by airship, the strange clues
;he adds to her Certeis collection, |
md the new ordeal between love and |
ealousy which eonfronts her, are
old in the chapters published this
week.
