THE WONDER
211 MARKET STREET
SPIES IN CANADA
By Frederic J. Haskin
[Continued From Editorial Page.)
Canada hears that she is to be invaded
she will keep more troops at home.
Thus the government is informed that
a large number of citizens, presum
ably Belgian refugees and Scandina
vians, are In reality German army
officers who are drilling companies of
their own countrymen for a future at
tack on Canada.
Furthermore, many movements of
the same sort are reported to be on
foot in the United States. It has been
brought to the attention of the Can
adian authorities that out of the
enormous number of rifles manufac
tured for the allies in the United
States not one has been shipped out
of the country since November. The
tiuestion is. what has become of
them? There is only one answer, of
course. The unsuspecting Americans
have sold them to Germans with ficti
tious names who are storing them up
In secret hiding places for a raid on
Canada.
These stories, scoffed at by the J
authorities but firmly believed by the '
Caradian people, are also creating a
certain amount of nervousness in the 1
t'nited States. .As a neutral country, |
we would be held responsible for any j
military aggression instigated on our j
borders and perpetrated from Am
crican soil. The Department of Jus
tice, through its numerous secret ser
vice agents, is making every effort to
see that such a thing does not hap- 1
pen. Foreigners about whQm there is
the slightest suspicion are under close
surveillance all over the country, andd j
in such cases the Department's meth- ;
ods are swift and direct. It does not;
wait to collect a complete chain of j
evidence. If a man suddenly evinces!
Rti interest in railroad routes to Can-!
a«!a and is seen carrying a suitcase into
his house after every respectable citi- 1
Ken is supposed to be in bed. he is i
arrested and his belongings searched.!
It may turn out that the suitcase con-I
tained only fresh eggs and butter orj
a suit from the tailor's, but by past 1
experience the department knows j

that it Is just as apt to hold several
pounds of dynamite. The department
takes no chances when It is a ques
tion involving Uncle Sam's neutrality.
The slightest hint of anything ir
regular is immediately reported to the
secret agent. For example, a police
man who was selling tickets for a
policeman's ball in a downtown office
building of an eastern city accidentally
came upon four men seated around a
table discussing in low voices the
maps and data which were spread
out before them. It was apparent to
the policeman that his sudden appear
ance had created a good bit of con
sternation. His suspicions were
aroused, he reported the incident
and the secret agents were put on the
case. The men were shadowed and a
plo< discovered which actually had as
its basis the destruction of the Well
and Canal, thereby blockading
Canada's wheat shipments to the
allies.
In Canada, the government, while
ridiculing the idea of spies, is secret
ly exercising the utmost vigilance in
guarding the frontier and keeping an
eye on foreigners. The arrival of a
South African mine owner, who goes
about jotting down numbers in a note
book is now regarded with suspicion,
as is also the Brazilian botanist who
finds his choicest specimens in the
proximity of the forts. A strict ac
count is kept of all foreigners cross
ing the boundary and an arrangement
has been made with the railroads by
which the ticket numbers and desti
nations cf tickets sold to foreigners
are turned over to the police.

CHAPTER XXXT— AIan meditate* leav- '
Ing because he is not fit to love Clem. He
goes for a ride.
He urged liis horse forward, but he
could not get on even terms; Clem held
the middle of the narrow track. Sud
d"n!y they burst Into the broad Low
road. With a terrific clatter of flying
stones and slipping, scrambling hoofs, |
they made the turn. Alan rode at last
on Clem's quarter. "Clem," he cried, j
"stop! It isn't fair to the horses."
But Clem only laughed. Her slim
body swayed to the bends of the road,
her shoulders were braced; she leaned
slightly back, steadying her horse with
a taut rein. Alan tried to draw even,
but every time he urged his horse into j
a spurt Clem's spurted too. Alan grew '
angry. He watched Clem's whip, but
It never moved. He settled into the
saddle and rode blindly. His borso
must catch up or he would kill him.
He was gaining. A moment more at
the same pace and he could reach
Clem's reins below her horse's neck.
Then Clem swerved again into a half- I
hidden wood-road and Alan's horse
plunged through the brush, broke out,
and followed, a poor second.
Alan's face and hands were badly
, scratched, but he rode on doggedly. It
never occurred to him to give up the
chase. In the efld he would catch up;
j he knew that, but what puzzled him
was what he should do to Clem when
he caught her. Anyone else, man or
woman, he would give a taste of their
own riding whip for their own good,
but not Clem. Alan suddenly knew I
j that there was something in Clem |
that a man could not break.
The wood-road made a gradual
•scent that the willing horses took at I
a steady, hard gallop. They left the !
tree-line of the valley below them,
•curried across an ancient clearing,
pushed through brush and branches,
and burst out on to the long, bald back
of East mountain. Then came another
clear run over crisp sod dangerously
interspersed with wet, slippery stones
and hindering bowlders,
j At the highest point in all the coun
tryside Clem suddenly dre-v rein and
slipped from her horse before Alan
could reach her. She stood with one
a n across the saddle-horn and waited
i for him.
Alan threw himself from his horse
and rushed up to her. ilis hands were
itching to grip her shoulders and shake
her, but he held them at his side.
"What did you do it for?" he asked
with blazing eyes.
Clem looked him over coolly. "Ever
run after anyone before, Alan?"
"What?" stuttered Alan. He feit
foundations slipping from under him.
Here was a person who could look Ten
Percent Wayne at his best in the eye
and never turn a mental hair.
"How do you like it?" continued
Clem in an even, firm voice. Then she
turned her square back to the saddle
and faced him fairly. "I'll tell you
wiat I did it for. All my life I've been
running after you. Last night I heard
you packing. I knew what you were
doing—you were getting ready to go
away. Before you went I wanted you
to run after me—just once. A sort
of consolation prize to pride."
Alan's face hardened. "Stop, Clem.
You can't talk like that to me and you
can't talk like that to yourself." He
looked at Clem and the blood surged
into his neck and face. At that mo
ment Clem was beautiful to him be
yond the wildest dreams of fair
women. She was dressed in a close
fitting loug coat that buttoned down
the front. Her ridiug skirt, of the
same dark stuff, she had hitched up at
one side to a silver hook. From under
the raised skirt peeped a straight rid
ing boot anil on the heel of the boot
was n tiny, right-angle spur. Alan's
quick eyes hung on that spur; it ex
plained the lead Clem had held through
the headlong ride.
Clem's right arm was stiil hooked
over the double horn of her saddle
and her left hand holding a slim rid
ing whip hung at her side. To the vel
vet lapels of her coat clung little drops
of rain. Her hair was braided and
firmly tied in a double fold at the back
of her neck, but short strands had
escaped from durance and played
about her head. Her head, like the
velvet lapels, was dusted with little
silvery drops of water and little drops
of water perched on her loug, upturned
lashes. Her cheeks were flushed, her
bosom agitated, her lips tremulous
Only her eyes were steady.
Alan took off his coat and threw It
over a rock. "Will you please sit down':
I must talk to you."
Clem strode to another rock and sat
down. "You are absurd. Your coat
is as wet as the stones. Put it on."
Alan hesitated. "Put your coat on."
Alan obeyed: then he sat down be
fore her, but turned his eyes away and
gazed rather vacantly over the whole
wet world. "If ever two people have
known each other without words,
Clem, It's you and me. Never mind
the grammar. Even unshackled words
are a dribbling outlet for a full heart,
and my heart's as full today with
things I've never said to you as the
clouds are with rain.
"Nature, taken by and large, is a
funny outfit, and the funniest things in
it are the ones that make you want
to cry. The world sees a good man,
clean and straight, married to a faith
less woman and laughs. Men see a
pure girl give her all to a cad, and
they say, 'lt's always the rotters thai
get the pick,' and tlicy laugh too. But
down in the bottom of our hearts we
know that these things are things for
tears."
"Yes, Alan," said Clem as he paused.
She was no longer imperious, only at
tentive, with chin in hands and elbows
on knees.
"You know me," went on Alan, "but
there are things about me that you do
not know—things below you that you
have no understanding for, thank Ood.
I don't even know how to picture them
to you."
"Yes, Alan," said Clem softly.
Alan picked a bit of huckleberry
bush and twisted it nervously in his
hands. "First of all I've got to tell
you what I thought you knew, that
what there is of me is yours over and
over again, and then I've got to tell
you why you can't have it." A light
came into Clem's eyes, trembled, flick
ered, and then settled to a steady
flame.
"You've seen people smile—everyone
; has a smile of sorts," went on Alan.
I "Did you ever think that a smile had
a body and soul? To me it has. It
starts out in life like a virgin with a
body to keep pure and a soul to guard
unstained. There are smiles that Illu
mine a face, that shine with essential
purity, that glorify. Nobody has to
tell you that they have never pandered
to a ribald jest or added cruelty to de
nial. They are live smiles and they
are rare among women and rarer
among men. For one such you'll find
a thousand living faces with dead
smiles—smiles that have scattered
their essence like rain on the just and
the unjust, that have rolled in filth and
wasted their substance on the second
best. You'll find them flickering out
in the faces of young men and at the
last gasp in the faces of lost women
whose eyes hold the shadows of unfor
gotten sins."
"Well?"-" '
