The door opened toward me, but 1t
would be suicidal to attempt viewing
the room beyond through that opening
The only thing ! dare venture was to
gain such survey as was possible by
means of the narrow crack below the
hinge on which the door swung. This
afforded me the merest glimpse of one
side of the room, revealing four or five
men sitting motionless on bench
against the wall, evidently listening in
tently to what was going on opposite
them. With the exception of Wine,
who was third in the row, no face l
saw was in the least familiar-two
being pronouncedly Spanish, the 9TH
ers not so easily recognized as to ma
tionality. l had no difficulty whatever
in overhearing their voices, and grasp
ing the sense of what they were say
ing. AS a general thing the words used
were English, although occasionally
some one requested an explanation in
Spanish, which was Immediately given.

however, almost the first sentence
overheard convinced me that had ar
rived too late to learn directly the ma
ture Of those instructions received
from Washington. Alva was asking a
question.
"But we are ready to act now," he
said impatiently, his foreign accent
faint, yet plainly perceptible, 'have
been ready for month past. What
necessity then is there for further de-
lay?"
The woman, whom he evidently ad-
dressed, must have been very close to
the door; her voice soft, but speaking
with clear enunciation, sounded almost
within reach of my hand.
"The reason Is Valparaiso, of
course" she said; "it is not Washing
ton at ALL When you strike, the people
must be ready there. You say you are
prepared, senior. That is what 1 was
sent to learn, and I find you are not
prepared"
"Not ready! We are organized and
sworn TO service"
She seemed to lean forward, her
voice changing almost to a whisper.
Il see that, your eagerness, your de-
votion. But that is not readiness for
such duty. Who has been chosen for
the act itself-the post of danger? No
one. Until the man I need not name
dies, we can accomplish nothing. You
have taken no ballot. If the single
word was flashed tonight, Co. and it
may be, who among you is authorized
to execute the order?"
She paused, but no voice spoke.
Nor is that all; the money from
England yet lies untouched. Surely
your instructions were clear. and moth
ing is being accomplished for the
cause while 1t rests in the vault. 1t
will require all of thirty days to dis
tribute this into the proper hands,
here and in Chile, yet nothing has
been done We supposed it was al
ready in circulation. What caused the
delayT
One Of the men on the bench spoke,
a heavily built fellow, with a long
gray mustache, and horn spectacles
shading his eyes.

helpless. was blinded, and so tightly
grasped at the throat as to be nearly
strangled. only dimly realized that
my assailant was man, his grip that
of giant. Then, to my surprise, the
fellow laughed oddly, swapping out his
light, and releasing his grip.

said, in the tone of cheerful disgust.
"Come in here and let me look you
over"
His hand closed on the sleeve Of my
coat, and before scarcely found time
to catch my breath again l had been
dragged through narrow opening and
became aware that a door shut silent
ly behind me.
The fellow gave me little opportuni-
ty to either act, or think. A match
flared, and was held aloft to gas jet
which instantly broke into dull flame
sufficient to render visible the full ex-
tent of the small room in which we
stood. In some semi-conscious way
was aware of bare walls, of small
table opposite with some writing ma
terials on it, and short bench covered
by blanket. l suppose / saw these

SYNOPSIS.

CHAPTER LIN q New York jewelry
store Philip Severn, United States con-
suIar agent notices small box which
attracts him. He purchases it. Later he
discovers in secret compartment writ
ing giving clew to a revolutionary move
ment in this country seeking to over
throw the Chilean government. The writ
ing mentions rendezvous, and Severn
decides to investigate.
CHAPTER II.-Finding the place men
TONED In the writing apparently deserted,
Severn visits a saloon in the vicinity.
A woman in the place is met by man,
seemingly by appointment, and Severn,
his suspicious aroused, follows them
They go to the designated meeting place,
an abandoned iron foundry.
CHAPTER III.-At the rendezvous Sc
Vern is accepted as one of the conspira-
tors and admitted. He meets a stranger
who appears to recognize him.
At that moment had no thought but
to discover some means Of escape. The
knowledge Of the danger 1 was in
robbed me of all courage. l was like
a child afraid in the dark. / moved
forward, inch by inch, feeling my way
along the rough planking with one
hand, my limbs actually trembling un-
der me. If I could only find some
opening; see some CLEAN of light /;
break away from this terrible silent
darkness.
l supposed l was moving with the ut
most caution, every nerve on edge,
feeling a way forward with hands and
feet. Once stepped upon a shell Of
some kind which crunched beneath the
weight, and again my groping hand
diSlodged small block of wood, which
foil with a slight clatter. / halted
both times, my heart in my mouth, yet
nothing happened, and l moved for
ward again confident of not being over
heard.
l could not have told what it was
that halted me. l remember l stopped
as though shot, my very breath sus-
pended, one foot still uplifted in step
forward, my eyes staring helplessly
into the black void. The silence was
that of a tomb. 1 could feel the
perspiration flow down my face in a
stream; it was an instant Of torture.
Then an unseen hand gripped me and
an electric fiash-light glared into my
eyes.

What about that arrangement, Mr..
Horner?"
recognized Harris In the reply, his
voice perfectly calm and confident. In
all probability he lied, but 1t was done
most convincingly.
"Those were my positive instruc-
tions in London" he said coolly. "The
banking house there was not to be in
volved in the slightest degree; no
trace Of the transaction was to appear
on their books"
"But why has the money not been
drawn and used"
"That Is for Alva to say. / tried to
get him to act, but he refused without
another authorization from Mendez,
and special instructions"
"You never received these, Senor
Alva?"
mo. 1 asked by code; I supposed
he would answer by messenger"
There was a pause, a silence. l
imagined 1 could understand some
thing of what Harris was endeavoring
to accomplish In this delay, this get
ting the entire sum transferred into
currency in private hands. 1t was one
more step In his intricate scheme Of
robbery but so cautiously concealed
as to arouse no suspicion. What else
had he done to this end already? To
achieve delay, and thus gain oppor-
tunity, had he intercepted, or even
changed, the code message sent by
Alva to Washington?
All this was possible enough, yet it
was evident that the woman accepted
the explanation as satisfactory.
II do not know how true all this is,"
she said at last, slowly. II was told
the money was already being used. l
do not believe there is any necessity
of any further Endorsement, as Senor
Alva is working under direct commits
sion from the junta, with full author
ity to act. However, will verify this
tomorrow. I am going to retire now,
senors, and leave you alone to discuss
the matters I have presented. Above
all it Is necessary that I should know
at once who you select for the tmpor-
tart work, and when we may expect
results. This information I must posi-
lively take back with me-"
"When do you returnw
"On the midnight train. l have
three hours yet"

ana containing chair or two IN ad-
dition to the writing table. 1 noted
these things quickly, my gaze straying
to a partially open door in the board
wall to the right, through which a
brighter glow of light streamed. My
ears caught the sound Of voices, the
words indistinct.
