Another voice, which Tommy rather
thought was that of Boris replied:
"Will you guarantee that there are
results?"
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:
"Goodi You shall have the money.
Boris. you viii see to that"
Boris asked a question:
'yia the Irish Americans, and Mr..
Potter as usual?"
81 guess that1l be all rightI' 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 States?"
1.-THE chief difficulty is the landing
of the ammunition" said the Sim
Feiner. 1.-THE money is conveyed in
easily enough-thanks to our col
league here"
"That is settled, then" 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 a pause, and then the
clear voice of the German broke the
silence:
Il 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 friend?' said |
Number One.
1.-THE 29th.''
The Russian seemed TO consider.
"That is rather SOON"
81 know. But it was settled by the
principal Labor leaders, and we can
not seem to interfere too much They
must believe it to be entirely their
own show"
The Russian laughed softly, as
though amused.
Eyes, 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 u.s. 1t is curious-but
you cannot make revolution with
out honest men. The instinct of the
populace is infalllble" He paused,
and then repeated as 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 moment or two: Suppose
I'm nabbed."
"You will have the best legal talent
TO defend you," replied the German
1uietly "But in any case you will
wear gloves fitted with the finger ,
prints of a notorious housebreaker. ;
You have little to fear" ,
"Oh. / amt afraid guv'nor. All
