Casey. "Now, if you'll Just havo your bird
show mo tho way "
Til havo to go with you to tell jou what
Ulue Jay says," Interrupted Peggy.
wi course you will,' ulirleked DIuo Jay.
"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

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. Os
tensibly it attends to tho t-afcty of the
monarch, and of distinguished personages
generally, and tho numerous sultt thnt used
to accompany tho Kaiser on his ilslts to
Unglnnd iiivnilublv Included two or there
top-hatted representatives of tho i-eetlon.
Tho ramifications of Abtellung hieben are,
lu reality, much vjldcr. It does nuch work in
lonnectlon with the newspapers as la even
too dirty for tho German foiclgri olllce to
tuifh, comprising eveijthlng from the
laum Ing of person il attul.s in oIisiuik
blackmailing shots ugalupl Imoiiicnleul poli
ticians to thu escorting of unpluihautlj truth
ful foreign correspondents to thu frontier.
It is the obedient hatidm tldeu of tho intil
ligencu depirtment of both War OIIIcd and
Admlraltj- In Germany, und renders faithful
scrvico to tho espionage whlih Is constantly
maintained on olllcinls, politicians, tho clergy
and tho general public In tint land of care
ful organization.
Section seven Is .1 vast subtenanean de
partment Alwajs walking lu tlio dark, Us
political complexion Is a handy cloak tor
blacker and moro sinister activities it Is
frfciuentlj entrusted with lommhalons ut
which It would bo lnrptdlcnt for olliclal Ger
many to have lognbsanio and which, accord
lnglj', ofllelal Germany can iiIivcijh safely
repudlato when occasion demand.
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. One thing was certain; the waiter had
let the question of Semlln's papers stand
over until the Morning, m he, had dona In'
mv'qmV W Hn UH 14, M KniKti
1
hotel, the waiter hud only seen him for
lho tame biin inuiucm as hu hid Been me
Thus 1 11 iwwil ami argued with mjRelf,
but m the meanttmi- I m t il I had nothing
(unpromising in niv siiiiruse, so tint caused

At th'it moment enmo 11 low knocking
AVIth a Midden sinking m tho heart I re

CHAPTER V
7ir ,01y 0 the Vo'int Tuint'ie
HlJIti; was Hi st Iny Knocking at the door.
J 11 that instant my mind w.ih lnnrtp up
Fur the moment, nt nil) rate I hid ever)

Huns 1 would brneii It out. I vlotlld be
Semlln uud go through with it to the bitter
end, nve, and if It took 1110 to tho Very gates
uf Hell
Tho knocking was repeated
"May ono como In?" said a woman s volco
In German.
I stepped across lho jonpse and opened the
door a foot or so
'J hero stoed'a wnmnii with n lamp Sho
was u middle-aged winn.111 with nn egg
sli iped faie, fit and whlt nnd puny, and
pule, ctafty CMS She was in hei outdoor
clothes, with nn enormous vulg 11 -looking
hat nnd an old-fashloiud sealskin cape with
a high collir. The capo which wan glisten

whlto silk blouse In ono hind rho call led
un oil lamp
"Frau Schratt." "he said by way of Intro
duction, and talscil tho lamp to look moro
closely at me.
Then I saw her fnco change. She was
looking past mo into the room, and I knew
that tho lamplight was falling full upon the
gluihtl) thing tint la) upon the floor
I realized the worn in was about to scream,
so I belied her by the wrist, she had dis
gusting bands, fat and podgy and covered
with rings.
'Quiet'" I whlpered fiercely in her enr,
never relaxing my grip em her wrlBt. "Vou
will be quiet and come In here, do )ou under

her fast nnd chew her inti, the loom

head of tho coipse She ttcined tu have re
gained her BPlf-io3sesBiun Tlio woman wna
no longer frightened I felt Instinctively
that her fears had been nil for herself, not
for that livid horror sprawling on tho floor.
When sho spoko her manner wus almost
businesslike.
'I was told nothing of this," she said
"Who Is It? What do jou want mo to do"""
Of all tho sensations of that night, none
has left n more unpleasant odor In my
memory than the manner of that woman in
tho chamber of death Her volco was In
credibly hard Her dull, basilisk e)es, seek
ing In mlno tho answers to her questions,
gave 1110 an eerie sens it Ion that makes my
blood run cold whenever I think of her.
Then suddenly her manner, arrogant, In
solent, cruel, changed She became polite
She was obsequious Of the two, tho nrst
manner became her vastly better. She looked
at me with a curious air, almost with
reverence, as it seemed to me. Sho said, lu
u purring voice-
"Ach, so! I did not understand The gen
tleman must excuse me "
And sho purled ngaln: "Sol'
It wns then I noticed that her ejes wero
fastened upon my chest. I followed their
direction.
They rested on tho silver badgo I had
stuck In my suspenders.
I understood and held my peace. Sllenco

would tell me all I wanted to know

"I expeited you," she said, ' but not

"An Englishman," I said curtly.
Her e)es opened In wonder.
"Ach, rein" sho cried and you would
have said her voice vibrated with pleasure
"An Englishman' i:i, el I"
If ever a human being licked Its chops,
that woman did.
Sho wagged her head and repented to her.

surprise, "ho Is the first wo huvo had.
"Vou brought him here, eh! But why up

Sho fired this string of questions at me
without pausing for a reply. She continued'
"I was out, but Karl told me. There

U is a generally appreciated fact that a

utilized in useful work. In other words, tho
greater pint of the fuel's value Is lost up tho
chlmnej
llie'worst part of this is that wo go ulong
on this basis in perfect contentment. The
wastefulness of a coal stove is enormous, but
becauso It cooks our food and at the Fnmo
time given out somo grnteful warmth wo are
apt to view tho situation with complaisance.
