Mr. Grimm glanced around at him.
and with a alight motion of his head
summoned two mnn who had been
chatting nearby. One of thera ti
Walr, and the other Huntings.
'Take thla man In charge," he di
rected. "Hold him In solitary con
finement until you hear from me.
In't talk to him, don't let any one
else tulk to him, and don't let him
talk. If any person speaks to him bo
font he Is locked up, take thut person
In chnrge also. He Is guilty of no
crime, but a single word from him
now will endanger my life."
That was all. It was said and done
bo quickly that Howard, dazed, con
fused and utterly unable to ncco int
for anything, was lud away without a
protest. Mr. Grimm, musing gently
on the stupidity of mankind In gen
eral and the ease with which It Is
possible to lead even a clever Indi
vidual into a trap, If the bait appeals
to greed, took a car and went up
town.
Some three hours later ho walked
briskly along a narrow path strewn
with pine needles, which led tortu
ously up to an old colonial farm house.
Outwardly the place seemed to be de
serted. The blinds, battered and
stripped of paint by wind and rain,
were all closed and ono corner of tho
small veranda had crumbled away
from age and neglect. In the roar of
the house, rising from an old barn, a
thin pole with a cup-like attachment
at the apex, thrust Its point Into the
open above the dense, odorous pines.
Mr. Grimm noted these things as be
came along.

anda and had Just extended oue hand
to rap on the door when It was open

CHAPTER XXV. (Continued.)
"It Is only a request from the sec
retary of war that I be permitted to
meet the Inventor of the wireless per
cussion cap," Mr. Grimm explained
carelessly. "The negotiations have
reached a point where the War De
partment must have one or two ques
tions answered directly by the Inven
tor. Simple enough, you see."
"Dut It has been understood, and 1
have personally Impressed It upon the
secretary of war, that such a meeting

"All negotiations have been conducted
through tne, and I have, as attorney
for tho Inventor, the right to answer
any question that may properly be an
swered. This now Is a request for a
personal Interview with the Inventor."
"The necessity for such an Inter
view has risen unexpectedly, because
of a pressing need of either closing
the deal or allowing It to drop," Mr.
Grimm stated. may add that the
success of the deal dcpend3 entirely
on this Interview."
Mr. Howard was leaning forward In
bis chair with wrinkled brow Inteutly
studying the calm fuce of the young
man. Innocent himself of all the In
trigue and International chicanery
back of the affair, representing only
an individual In these secret nego
tiations, he saw in tho statement, aa
Mr. Grimm Intended that he should,
the possible climax of a great busi
ness contract. His greed was
aroused; it might mean hundreds of
thousands of dollars to him.
"Do you think tho deal can be
mado?" he asked at Inst.
"I have no doubt there will be somo
sort of a deal," replied Mr. Grimm.
"As I say, however. It Is absolutely de
pendent on an Interview between the
Inventor and myself at once this
afternoon."
Mr. Howard thoughtfully drummed
on his desk for a little while. From
the first, savo in so far as the patent
rights were concerned, he had seen no
reasons for the obligations of utter
secrecy which had been enforced upon
Mm. Perhaps. If he laid It before the
Inventor In this new light, with the
ueal practically closed, the interview
would be possible!

At the end of twenty-five minutes the
door of Mr. Howard's private office
opened and he appeared. His face was

"It can only be because I am kill

wholo manner changed. "I should like

"But don't you see don't you see

tensely.
"May I see tho Inventor, please?"
Mr. Grimm Interrupted.
Tor a llttlo timu she stood, whit
and rigid, staring at him. Then her
lids fluttered down wearily, as If to
veil some crushing ngony within her,
and she stepped nslde. Mr. Grlmra
entered and the door closed noiseless
ly behind him. After a moment her
hand rested lightly on 1.1s arm, and
ho was led Into a room to his left.
This door, too, she closed, immediate
ly turning to face him.
"We may talk here a few minutes
without Interruption," she Bald in a
low tone. Hor voice was quite calm
now. "If you will be?"
"I'leuso understand. Miss Thorne,"
ho Interposed mercilessly, "that 1
must sco the Inventor, whoever ho Is.
What assurance have, I th;it this is
not somo ruso to rermlt him to es

said quite simply.
"Please go on." He snt down.
"You will see him too soon, I fenr,"
sho continued slowly. "If you had not
come to him ho would have gone to
you." Shu swayed a llttlo and pressed
ono hand to her eyes. "I would to
God It were In my power to prevent

ately. Then, with an effort: "There
are some things I want to explain to
you. It may bo that you will be will

A Hobby Luncheon.
A college girl described this affair
to me, and I saw Its possibilities even
Tor those not In the bcy-doy of youth,
for who of us hasn't tome bobby
which we ride, either fast or slow, and
In some Instances "lt"trldes us. The
guests wero eight girls, all students
at tho same unlve-slty. and all "uext"
to each other's whims and fancies.
The centerpiece was a small bobby
horse ridden by a dolly dressed ln
cap and gown. At each place were
small bobby horses with tbe name
cards attacuod by ribbons In tbe class
colors. No names were written, but
all found their places by the clever
drawing In pen and Ink on the cards.
For Instance, tho girl with musical
ambitions found herself "Ten years
hence with a hand organ and a
monkey grinding out 'Home, Sweet
Home.'" The stout girl (she called
herself plump) was represented rolling
down hill with the words, "I have lost
one-eighth of a pound;" the maiden
who was to be a teacher (In her own
mind), was depicted as a fashionable
society woman plnylng bridge; and tne
golf glrl found herself with Cupid peer
ing out of her bng and the words, "A
clever stroke" underneath. When all
were seated the hostess asked each
one to explain why her hobby was
commendable, and sho told them to
look under their place plates, and
there they found quaintly worded In
vitations asking them to meet her ten
years from date and see bow tbe
hobby horses had been ridden. If Im
possible to be present, letters were to
be sent to bo read aloud. At the fin
ish all joined bands and sang "Auld
Lang Syne."
Around-the-World Tea.
A young ladles' Mission band got
up the following very successful tea.
A house represented each of these
eight countries and several automo
biles conveyed the guests to and fro:
Greece, Italy, Germany, Russia. Eng
land, America, France and Japan.
A flve-mlntito paper about each coun
try, with music, furnished amusement
and the attendants were In costume.
Flagn of the country made the decora
tion with whatever characteristic ar
ticle obtainable A very small admis
sion fee was collected by the courier
as guests entered tho auto and small
fees were charged for refreshments,
which were pecullnr to the country as
the menu shows: Greece, olives;
Italy, spaghetti; Germany, kaffe kitch
en; Japan, meshl (rice); France, vln
It rouge (red punch); Russia, caviar
A New Word-Making Game.
A hostess entertaining In honor of
a visiting guest passed cards bearing
the last name of her friend. The com
pany was told to make as many words
from the letters composing the name
as they could ln twenty minutes. A
prize was awarded for the longest and
shortest lists. This proved a very
pleasant introduction and served as
an Ice breaker, as the people were al
most all entire strangers. This
scheme Is a good one for church so
cials, which are apt to be stiff If not
conducted along tho same lines as a
private party.

would meet her again, perhaps here In
hiding. A sudden quick tenderness
lighted the listless eyes. For an In
stant she stood staring, her face pallid
against the gloom of tho hallway be
yond, and she drew a long breath of
relief, as she pressed one band to her
breast. The blue-gray eyes were
veiled by drooping lids, then she re
covered herself and they opened Into
his. In them he saw anxiety, appre
hension, fear even.
"Miss Thorne!" he greeted, and he
bowed low over tbe white hand which
she Impulsively thrust toward him.
"I I knew some one was coming,"
she stammered ln a half whisper. "I
didn't know it was you; I hadn't
known definitely until this Instant
that you were sal's from the explo
sion. 1 am glad glud, you under
stand; glad that you were not" She
stopped and fought back hor emotions,
then went on: "Hut you must not
come In; you must go away at once.
Your your life Is In dunger here."
"How did you know I was coming?"
Inquired Mr. Grimm.
"From the moment Mr. Howard tel
ephoned," sho replied, still hastily,
still In the mysterious half whisper.
"I knew that It could only be some
one from your bureau, and I. hoped
that It was you. I saw how you
forced him to call us up here, and
that was all you needed. It was sim
ple, of course, to trace tho telephone
call." Both of hor hands closed over
one of hlB desporatoly. "Now, go,
please. The Latin compact Is at an
end; you merely Invito death here.
Now, go!"
Her eyes were searching the list
less face with entreaty ln them; tbe
slender fingers were 9ercely gripping
one of Mr. Grimm's nerveless hands.
For an Instant some strange, soften
ing light flickered ln the young man's
eyes, then It passed.

said gravely at last. "I am honor
bound by my government to do one

permit you to disappoint me now. The
secrets of your government are mine
If I can get them hut I won't allow

"My government." Miss Thorne re
peated, and her lips curled sadly. "I
I have no government. I have been
cast off by that government, stripped
of my rank, and brended as a trai
tor!" "Traitor!" Mr. Grimm's lips formed
the word silently.
"I failed, don't you see?" she rushed
on. "lgnouilpy Is the reward of fail
ure. Prince d'AbnizzI went on to
New York that night, cabled a full
account of the destruction of the com
puct to my government, and sailed
homo on the following day. I was the
responsible oue, and now It all comes
back on me." For a moment sho was
silent. "It's so singular, Mr. Grlmm.
The fight from tho first was between
ua we two; and you won."

In Its Due Order.
Champ Clark, at a dinner In Wash
ington, pleaded indulgence for a some
what rambling speaker.
"He'll arrive," said the Dcmoeratlo
leader, "If you'll only give him time.
He is like Dr. Thirdly.
"Dr. Thirdly was dividing up his
sermon Into its appropriate heads one
Sunday morning when a member of
the congregation shouted Irascibly:
" 'Meat, man! Give us meat!'
" 'Well,' said Dr. Thirdly, promptly,
'hold on, then, till I'm done carving.' "
Ahead of Optimist.
The man who accepts calamity
when It hits him as so much necessary

It, Is not to be classed as a pessimist
Such a man Is far ahead of the optim

often does others.
Mi PIP1 r
AGAINST DRINK
One of Most Powerful Rulers of South
Africa Cautions Hit People Aaalnst
Use of Alcohol.
Words of warning against alcoholic
drink formed part of the kingly ad
dress of one of tho most powerful na
tive rulers of South Africa at a great
celebration lately held to mark the
fiftieth anniversary of hla acceptance
of Christianity. This ruler Is King
Kama of the Hamangwato, ln Heebu
analand, South Africa. Fifty-one years
" ama came in touch with a Gor
man missionary preaching and teach
ing among the native Hochuanas in the
old native cnpltal of the Hamangwato,
at Sboshong. and accepted the nw
faith. A year later he came to his
own as king and ruler of the Hamang
wato, and became at once so active In
promoting the spread of Christianity
among his people that at leiiKtn the
wholo great territory over which h
ruled came under Its sway.
Kama, now an aged man. but stl!l
the happy ruler of his Christian sub
jects, has recently held at Serowe, his
cnpltal, a week of festival for his
Christian Jubilee, nttended by multi
tudes of bis native subjects and by
many mission workers and distin
guished white visitors from all parts
of South Africa. After a great mili
tary parade of the king's troops. Kama
within a retlnuo of eight thousand He
chuanas. attended a great thanksgiv
ing service, where a multltudo of 12,
000 assembled, where official felicita
tions were presented, and where a
younger brother of the king, speaking
for the whole nation, revlpwed th
great transformation for good that has
taken place In the tribal llfo and cus
toms under Kama's rule. Chief among
the good results noted was the exclu
sion of alcoholic drink from the land.
The drink evil had been well-known In
their land, and while It was not yet
entirely suppressed, tho traffic could
no longer flourish and was made Il
legal. Kama himself made a striking
address and warned bis people against
drink as "the great enemy of their
happiness and progress." Thanking the
white people for their friendship and
help, he begged them to guard their
darker brothers of the native race
from the destruction wrought through
the trafllc In strong drink. Alcoholic
drink constitutes a menace of utmost
danger to Its users In cold cllmnte
and holds decidedly a similar meua
for those of warm climates whether
white or black.

TOTAL ABSTINENCE IS BEST
Dr. Fulton, Noted English Expert, Lec
tures on "Alcohol and Tuberculo
sis" Drink Causes Poverty.
At the Tuberculosis exhibition, held
at Nottingham. England, Dr. Fulton,
noted expert, lectured lo a largo au
dlenco on "Alcohol and Tuberculosis.
Dr. Fulton said thut there was some
connection, direct and Indirect, be
iween alcohol and consumption. An
Indirect way In which the two were
connected was that alcohol was Insiru
mental In placing people in unhealthy
surroundings, with Insufficient food
le would also show that there was
elentlflc evidence that there was
direct connection between the two. Al
cohol was an Indirect cause of con
umptlon, mainly because It was a
cause of poverty. He had long since
come to the conclusion that It was not
poverty that caused drink, but drink
hat rnused poverty and dirt. People
w ho were poor did not live In such good
rooms as others, and they were often
overcrowded, and Infection was the
more dangerous under these condl-
ons. Money, too, was often spent on
alcohol whlb should be spent on food
and clothing. The difficulty of dealing
ith a consumptive who was addicted
to alcoholism was Instanced by tbe
lecturer, who spoke of the appetite
elng ruined by drinking bouts. Alco-
ol predisposed to consumption by
lowering the vitality of the body, and
thus lessening Its power of resistance
to disease germs. Experiments had
been mado on animals which proved
that alcohol did reduce tho resistance
of tho body to disease. Medical men
dmltted that it did in cases of pneu
monia, erysipelas, and blood poison
ing; and yet somo would not admit It
In cases of consumption, although the
diseases differed only In detail. Post
mortem examination had also
strengthened this argument In con
clusion, he illustrated the benefits of
total abstlnetico on health, and com
pared Insurance tables on this subject,
showing the benefits of abstinence
principles and prnctlce.
Total Abstainer Is Belt.
Thomas Kaston, the noted English
physt'lan, Bays: "The dictum of sci
ence on the subject of moderate
drinking is by no menr.s nmhlguous.
Stienco (Joes not support the plea that
alcohol Is a harmless, pleasant bev
erage. It cannot support the plea of
the moderate drinker that alcohol Is
an aid to health. Hut It does support
the position of the total abstainer with
an emphasis which It is culpablo to
disregard. It i.hows that the abstain
er can do more and better work, live
longer nnd be healthier than the mod
erate drinker. Science, In short, shows
that the abstainer lives the normal
life, whllo the moderate drinker lives
the abnormal."
RASH ALL OVER BABY'S BODY
ITCHED SO HE COULD
NOT SLEEP
"On July 27. 1909, we left Hoston for
a trip to England and Ireland, taking
baby with us. After being In Ireland
a few days a nusty rash came out all
over his body. We took him to a doc
tor who g;ivo us medicine for him.
"My trouble started with a pimple on
rash nnd was all over buby's body,
head and fare, at different times. It
irritated, and he would scratch It with
all his might. The consequence wa
It developed Into sores, and we were
afraid it would leave nasty avars oa
his face.
"When we reached England we took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change of food
and climate, and gave moro medicine.
The rHsh got no better, nnd it used to
Itch and burn at night so bad that the
child could not sleep. He was com
pletely covered with It at different
times. It was at this time that my
mother advised ua to try Cutlcura
Boap and Ointment. After using Cutl
ftira Soap and Cutlcura Ointment for
about nine months tho places disap
peared. There are not any aenrs. or
other kind of disfigurement, and baby
la completely cured by tho Cutlcura
Soap and Ointment. We have had n
further trouble with baby's skin. Noth-
Ing stopped the Itching, and allowed
baby to sleep but Cutlcura Soap and
