Another voice, which Tommy rather
thought was that Of Boris replied:
%Win you guarantee that there are
results2"
I'm a month from now-sooner or
later as you wish--I will guarantee
you such a reign Of terror in Ireland
as shall shake the British empire to
its foundations"
There was a pause, and then came
the soft, sibilant accents Of Number
One:
"Goodl You shall have the money.
Boris, you will see to that"
Boris asked a question:
"Vla the Irish Americans, and Mr.
Potter, as usualY'
81 guess thatll be all right" said a
new voice. with a transatlantic into
nation, though I'd like TO point out,
here and now, that things are getting
mite difficult There's not the SYM
patty there was, and a growing dis
position to let the Irish settle their
own affairs without interference from
America"
Tommy felt that Boris had shrugged
his shoulders as he answered: "Does
that matter, since the money only
nominally comes from the StatesT
1.-THE chief difficulty is the landing
Of the ammunition" said the Sim
Beiner. "The money is conveyed in
easily enough-thanks to our col
league here"
THAT is settled, then" said the sibl-
liant tones. "Now, In the matter Of
the loan to an English newspaper, you
have arranged the details satlsfacto-
rily. BorisY
Il think soT"
''That is good. An official denial
from Moscow viii be forthcoming If
necessary"
There was a pause, and then the
clear voice of the German broke the
silence:
81 am directed by-Mr. Brown, to
place the summaries of the reports
from the different unions before you
That OF the miners Is most satisfac-
tory. We must hold back the rail-
ways. There may be trouble with the
A. S. e."
For long time there was a silence,
broken only by the rustic of papers
and an occasional word Of explana-
ton from the German. Then Tommy
heard the light tap-tap of fingers,
drumming on the table.
"And-the date, my frlendr' said
Number One.
"The GOTH"
The Russian seemed to consider.
"That is rather soon"
az know. But It was settled by the
principal Labor leaders, and we can
not seem TO interfere too much. They
must believe 1t to be entirely their
own show"
The Russian laughed softly. as
though amused.
"Yes. yes" he said. "That is true
They must have no inkling that we
are using them for our own ends
They are honest men-and that is
their value to us. II Is curious-but
you cannot make revolution with
out honest men. The instinct Of the
populace is lnfallible." He paused,
and then repeated. al though the
phrase pleased him: Every revolu-
ton has had its honest men. They
are soon disposed Of afterward."
There was a sinister note in his
voice.
The German resumed: "Clymes must
go. He Is too far-seeing. Number
Fourteen will see to that"
There was a hoarse murmur.
That's all right. guv'nor." And
then after a moment or two: Suppose
I'm nabbed."
''You will have the best legal talent
to defend you" replied the German
quietly. But in any case you win
wear gloves fitted with the finger
prints OF a notorious housebreaker.
You have little TO fear"
"Oh, l amt afraid guv'nor. All

Tommy heard a chair shifted. Then
Number One spoke: "Then all is ar
ranged. We are assured Of successY"
Think so" But the German
spoke NTH less than his usual conf

Number Ones voice held suddenly
a dangerous quality:
''What has gone wrongT"
Nothing; but"
