which attracts him. He purchases
I it. Later he discovers in secret
compartment writing giving a
clew to a revolutionary movement
in this country seeking to overthrow
the Chilean government. The writ
ing mentions q rendezvous, ana
Severn decides to investigate. Find
ing the place mentioned in the writ
ding apparently deserted, Severn
visits a SALOON in the vicinity. A
woman in the place is met by a
man, seemingly by appointment,
and Severn, his suspicious aroused,
follows them. They go to the des-
ignated meeting place, an aban-
doned iron foundry. At the rem
devious Severn is accepted as one
of the conspirators and admitted.
He meets a stranger who addresses
him as Harry DAILY. The incident
plays into Severn's hands and he
accepts 1t. His new acquaintance
is a notorious thief, Gentleman
George Harris. Concealed, Severn
hears the girl address the conspira-
tors. She urges them to hasten
the work of revolution. The girl
discovers Severn listening. She &C

ence and asks him to meet her next
