"Ill lint go without 1'rlncess Peggy. "This la a man's Job Whero scoundreln. are cracking heads, it't? no pluce for n llttlo girl to be." "ISut If I go along Iiluo Jay can scout ahead looking for the spies, and then I can tell jou what ho sees." insisted Peggy, "That's so." reluctantly admitted Officer Casey. "I'll get ono of the pollco autos, fetch a doctor to look after this poor mnn here, and then we'll start on our adventure" Officer Casey was gone only a fw minute-) when he enmo back In an auto, bring ing the doctor. Peggy aald good-by to Helen and Toddy and Jumped Into the machine with tho policeman. Uluo Jay flow on ahead, look ing in his disguise llko a flurry of autumn leaves driven by tho wind. Tho hills began jutt outsldo of town Thofco lower down wero covered with pros Drou3 farms, but further up they became very htecp and rugged, n wilderness of woods and undirbrubh. It would bo u fmo placo for wrong-doers to hldo themselves. After they had gone a long way, llhio Jay turned nslde from tho main road oni cer CaBey hid the machine In a clump of bushes, and ho' and Peggy followed on foot. Up rocky ascents, across ravines nnd through dense bushes they pushed their way, "flight across tho gully Is whero tho man got hurt," lllue Jay screeched. Don't mako so much noise," warned Peggy. "If there nro any guards nround they will surely hear jou" Then she told Oftlcer Casey what Blue Jay had said "We'd better hide,;' suggested the police man. "We don't want any one to pee ua before wa see them. Blue Jny can scout nround to see If any one Is prowling about" Bluo Jay, feeling ery Important, hurried away. Soon he was bnck again all excited 'The same man who hurt Helen's father Is coming up this way," ho screeched OHlcer Casey picked Peggy up and swung her on top of an overhanging rock. "Keep quiet there and jou'll not be In danger," ho whispered "I'll nttend to this chap." With that Oflloer Casey Blipped bo hind a tree on the other side of the path. Blue Jay's Bcreams apparently had alarmed tho guard. While ho couldn't understand what Blue Jay was saying, ho evidently was wise enough In woodcraft to know that when a Jay shrieked In the woods It means some person Is around, bo ho came forward ery cautiously. Peggy, uot seeing or hearing him. thought that possibly he had turned back. She raised up to look over the top of tho rock. Just then the bushes stirred slightly und she saw a hand holding them back. Above the hund appeared a pair of glittering eyes Peggy Jerked back, but not quickly enough. The glittering eyes saw her. With a. grunt of surprise their owner stepped out of the bushes and raised a rifle menacingly. He was a tall, dangerous-looklnr German. "Hal Another spy a girl!" he growled. "Come down ofT that rock." Peggy, btartled and frightened, moved to obey. But Just then something flopped over the Qe'rman's head. It was Oflicer Casey's coat. Behind the coat was Oflicer Casey himself und he threw his full weight upon the Ocrman, bearing him to tho ground. Tho German dropped hla gun. There was a short, sharp struggle, In whloh Oflicer Casey appeared to bo conquering, when sud denly the German, using a wrestler's trick, twisted oyer on top of Otficer Casey, and pinned him to tho ground with one hand. With the other hand the German toro off the coat which, blinded him and reached for a heavy knife he carried In his belt. Peggy saw that the had to take a hand In the fray, amsplng a large stone, she hurled It with all hr might down on the PRESIDENT OF SERVICE STAR LEAGUE THE MAN WITH THE CLUB FOOT, ll Al.CMIiE WILLIAMS Covirtpht, Ills, hll the Vubllr Trdair Co, luvtriuht bu Hubert M VcLrUh ,c to CHAPTER IV (Contimipil) I Ili:i, I) In my hand a badgo of tno Gciimn secret police. ou cannot penetrate far behind the scenes In German)- without coming utross the trices of section tcven of tlio Berlin pollco presi dency, tho section that Is known euphemis tically as that of the politic il police.

I thrust the pin ot tho badge Into my braces and fastened It there, ciammed tho rest of tho dead man's effects Into his bag, Muck his hat upon my head and threw his overcoit on my arm, picked up his bag and crept away in another minute I was back in my room, my brnln aflame with tho lire of .1 great enterprise. Here, to my hand, lay the key of that locked land which held the secret of my lost brother. Tho question I had been asking mys-elf, ever Bluet" I had lirst discovered tho dead man's American pupers of Identity, was this Had I tlio ncrvo to avail mjuelf ot fceinlln s American passport to get Inlo Ger many'.' 1h answer to that question laj Jn tho llttlo silver badge I know tint no Ger man olliclil, whatever his stundlng, what ever his order would refuso passage to tho sliver star ot rectlon seven. It need only bo used, too, as a last rcMource, for I hid my papers as a neutral Could I but inn o not fnni in Germans. I was quite readv to de pend on my wits to seo ipe through. One advantage, I knew, I must forego. That was tho half-letter in Its canvas ease, If that document wbb of Importance to sec tion seven ot tho German jiollcc, then It was ot equal, nay, ot greater importance to my country If I weht, that should lemnln behind In sife keeping. "Never before, since tho war began," I told niJBclf, "can any Englishman have had cuch an opportunity vouchsafed to him for getting easily and safely into thit Jealously guarded land as you havo now 1 You huve plenty of moncj what with your own and this ' and I figured Semlln's wad of notes, 'and provided you can keep jour head sulllelcntly to remember always that Jou aro a German, once over the frontier jou should bo able to give the Huns the slip nnd try and follow up the trail of poor Francis. "And ma) be," I argued further (so easily is one's better Judgment defeated when ono Is young and set on a thing), ''majbo In German sunoundlngs, )ou may get some sense Into that mysterious Jingle jou got from Dicky Alleiton as tho solo existing clue to the disappearance of Francis." Nevertheless, 1 wnveicd. Tho risks wero awful I had to get out ot that evil hotel lu tho guise of Dr. Scmllu, with, ns the solu safeguard against exposure, should I fall In with tho dead man's employers or friends, that slight and possibly Imaginative resem blance between him and mo: I had ta take such measures as would prevent tho fraud from being detected when the body Was dis covered lu the hotel; above all, I had to as certain, before I could definitely resolvo to push on Into aermany, whether Semlln was already known to tho people at the hotel or whether as I surmised to bo the case this was also his first visit to' tho house In the Vos ln't Tulntje. In any case, I was quite determined In my own mind that the only way to get out of the place with Semlln's document without considerable unpleasantness, If not grave danger, would bo to transfer his Identity nnd effects to myself and vice ersa. When 1 taw the way u llttlo clearer I could decide whether to take the supremo risk and ad venture m)self Inlo the enemy's country. Whatover I wus going to do, there wero not many hours of the night left In which to act, and I was determined to bo wit of that house of 111 omen before day dawned, if I could got clear ot tlio hotel nnd nt the same tlmo nscortaln that Semlln was as much a stranger thero as myself, I could decide on my further course of uctlon In tho grexter freedom of the streets of Rotter dam.

When sho spoko her manner wus almost businesslike. 'I was told nothing of this," she said "Who Is It?
