That's all very well. But more
money is essential. No money-no
results."
Another voice, which Tommy rather
thought was that OF Boris replied:
"Will you guarantee that there are
results?"
In a month from now-sooner or
later as you wish-I will guarantee
you such reign of terror in Ireland
Its foundations"
There was pause, and then came
the soft, sibilant accents of Number
One:
Good! You shall have the money.
Boris, you will see to that"
Boris asked a question:
"Via the Irish Americans, and Mr..
| Potter. as usualT''
II guess that'll be all right ~ said
nation, though I'd like to point out,
here and now, that things are getting
a mite difficult. There's not the sym
| pathy 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 States?"
The chief difficulty Is the landing
Of the ammunition" said the Sim
Feiner. The money is conveyed in

league here"
THAT is settled, them" said the sibi-
liant tones. Now, in the matter of
the loan to an English newspaper, you
have arranged the details satisfacto-
rily, Boris?"
81 think so?"
"That is good An official denial
from Moscow will be Forthcoming If
necessary"
There was 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 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 friendT' said
Number One.

The Russian seemed to consider.
THAT Is rather soon"
81 know. But 1t 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. 1t is curlous-but
you cannot make revolution with
out honest men. The instinct of the
populace is infallible" He paused.
and then repeated. as though the
| phrase pleased him: Every revolu-
tion has had It's honest men They
are soon disposed of afterward."
Where was a sinister note in his
voice.

There was a hOarse mprmur.
That's all right, guv'nor" And
then after a moment or two: Suppose
I'm nabbed"

to defend you" replied the German
! quietly. But In any case you will
wear gloves fitted with the finger

Tommy heard chair shifted. Then
Number One spoke: "Then all Is ar

| "I-think So" But the German
spoke with less than his usual conf

Number Ones voice held suddenly
dangerous quality:
"What has gone wrong?"
Nothing; but"
"But what?'
"The Labor leaders. Without them.
