SYNOPSIS.

CHAPTER LIN a New York jewelry
store Philip Severn, United States con-
sular agent, notices a small box which
attracts him. He purchases it. Later he
discovers In a secret compartment a writ
ing giving a clew to a revolutionary move
ment in this country seeking to over
throw the Chilean government. The writ
ing mentions a rendezvous. and Severn
decides to investigate.
CHAPTER u.-Ffnding the place mem

HIS new acquaintance is a notorious
thief, Gentleman George Harris. Con-
cealed, Severn hears the girl he had fol-
lowed address the conspiratoUs. She urges
them to hasten the work OF revolution.

to overhear what she had to say to
watch her once more, when free to
study her upnoticed, and to see this

curved to the right, and it d8wned
upon me that 1t 'skirted the mafn'apart-

conference was being held. This ac-
counted for the fact that no CLEAN of
light was visible, and that, In anticipa-

rooms had been constructed, connected
together yet so isolated as to permit
of the utmost privacy. One of these

found that the passage led Inc not di-

Reichstag Orders Drafting AntlSaloon Law to
 Cheek Drink Craze.

BERLIN. Aug, 4 Consumption of wines and liquors has been increas- ing so rapidly in Germany since the War that the Reichstag has directed the drafting of a law, ito he intro dnced at the September session, to regulate the traffic. The law also will check a growing increase in the numper of saloons which, in Berfit., particularly, has been So rapid that even the moderates say the health and morals of the people are en- dangered. ho' 'ne.
 The crime. wave which has been sweeping the q, country for, mary months, filling the jails of every city and severely taxing the resources of the police, is attributed by many .u the "drink-craze" and especially to the more general use, among the poorer Germans. of cheap cognacs. green whiskies, gin and other "hard liquors." The Germans, in fact, are gradually losing their old reputation as beer drinkers, although an ablnd ance of beer is obtainable.
 Practically all the cafes and wine rooms of Berlin are installing Amer ;Can bars" and even the high price cabarets, where once only best wines
