SYNOPSIS. :
? !
CHAPTER I.?In a New York jewelry
store Philip Severn, United States con- I
sular agent, notices a small box which ;
attracts him. He purchases it. Later he
discovers in a secret compartment a writ- j
ing giving a clew to a revolutionary move- j
ment in this country seeking to over- j
throw the Chilean government. The writ- j
ing mentions a rendezvous, and Severn
decides to investigate.
CHAPTER II.
A Man and a Woman.
It was late in the afternoon, the day
dark, with a chilly wind blowing off '
*he river, when I reached Jersey City.
?
The first policeman encountered gave
me all necessary directions, so that 1
alighted from a street car within a
block of my destination. A saloon on
the upper corner of the block furnished
me the necessary clew, and,
using it as a marker, I succeeded in
tracing back until satisfied I had thus
safely located "876." It was an abandoned
factory, built of brick, two stories
high, evidently extending over considerable
ground at the rear, but with
a frontage not to exceed forty feet.
The lower windows were boarded up,
a number of those in the second story
broken, and the main entrance, large
enough for the passage of a motor
truck, was tightly secured by an immense
iron bar. A smaller door to the
right alone offered any possibility of
entrance, although it was tightly
closed.
To all outward appearances the
place had been unoccupied for months,
and perhaps years. From the sidewalk
it was impossible to gain any glimpse
within. Only one discovery served to
convince me that I might be on the
right track?that I had not been entirely
deceived. A small sign, so covered
with dust and dirt as to be almost
unreadable, was nailed over the smaller
door. In the' growing dusk I was
obliged to study it intently to decipher
the words, but finally made them out
letter by letter:
"OFFICE ALVA MALLEABLE IRON
COMPANY."
I V
Here was a strange coincident, if
nothing more, for Gustave Alva had
been one of the names signed on the
hotel register. Beyond doubt this old,
abandoned iron foundry was his property,
and what better spot could be
selected in which to meet and concoct
a scheme of crime? What a place to
hide arms for shipment. Whatever
doubt I may have felt regarding my
venture vanished in the presence of
that unusual name. This was unquestionably
the place named in the letter
as a rendezvous; here was where the
recipient of that letter was to go and
receive instructions; where he was to
use the mysterious raps, and the countersign
"Cervantes," in order to gain
admittance. The knowledge that 1
was actually upon the threshold of
such a discovery brought with it a determination
not to lose the advantage.
But what could I do? What further
steps might be safely taken alone?
The night was dark, a slight drizzle
in the air, no one abroad except from
necessity. No sign of life was visible
for the full extent of the block, until
the saloon on the further corner came \
into view, its gleaming hospitality invited
me, and I strolled along the opposite
walk, my coat collar turned up
to shut out the drizzle, and finally
crossed over to where I could peer in

except two roughly dressed men at a
table just inside, who were playing
cards silently. The room was clean
enough, and quiet, yet I felt no inclination
to enter. Those were not fellows
it would be safe to question, and
I would have turned away, but at that
instant I perceived the indistinct figure
of a young woman in the further
corner, sitting beside a table alone.
Her presence stimulated my curiosity.
She appeared to be young, not
badly dressed, and her being in such ,
a place unattended rendered her of
some interest. It surely could do no
harm if I dropped in for a sandwich
and a glass of beer. I crossed to the
bar, furtively watchful, but no one
except the proprietor apparently paid
the slightest attention to my entrance.
The two men never glanced up from ;
their cards, and the girl?for sffe was
scarcely more?merely turned her head
and stared at me without interest I
spoke to the barman in English. We exchanged
a few words?his own speech ,
very broken?while he prepared the !
sandwich, and the only thing unusual ?

signal between him and the woman
across the room. I could not be sure
even as to that, but gained the impression
that he shook his head negatively,
as though to some mute question.
Unless it might be the intense brunette
blackness of hair and an extremely
clear complexion, there was
nothing typically Spanish in her appearance.
Indeed she impressed me
as thoroughly American in features,
dross and manner, somewhere in the
twenties I should judge, with brown
eyes, and a face decidedly pleasant to
look upon, although with a firmness
to it, expressed by mouth and chin, not
to be mistaken. I noted these things
hurriedly, never venturing to stare at
her, though she apparently gave me
no attention whatever. Somehow the
girl seemed strangely out of place in
that dingy saloon?she did not in any
sense belong. She was evidently not
there seeking company, nor was she
drinking; and yet there must surely j
be some meaning to her presence.
The proprietor approached me, leaning
one hand on the table.
"There is nothing more?" he asked. '
"No, this will answer very well."
He lingered, tempted to question me.
"You have not been in before? Per- j
haps you do not live near?" i
- "I do not," I replied frankly. "1 !
travel out of Boston, and sell lumber. J
I have been doing some business with
the yard down below."
"I see. You are not from New York,
I make it?" ;
"No; Boston has always been my <
home." ,
"Once I live there, too; when I first
come north from Rio. What you think
about this war? We lick Germany?
hey?"
"Oh, 1 don't know; she seems to be
more than holding her own."
"Ach, yes. But now this country go
in; what then?"
1 looked up quickly into his face, j
with, a swift desire to test his real
sentiment. (
"This country! Why should it go
in? There are Germans enough over
here to stop that."
"Not Germans?no. But Internationals,
revolutionaries. They are
more than you think. 'Tis time for
them to strike a great blow."
"You are Polish, are you not?"
"Yah, from Warsaw. I come over
six years."
"Naturalized?"
"1 have first papers?why you ask?"
suspiciously.
"I merely questioned from curiosity."
My eyes wandered once more to
the girl across the room, and he noticed
the glance.
"You wonder what she do in here?"
he asked. "I tell you. She was my
niece, an' sit here to wait for a friend
to walk home with her. It is not a
good neighborhood, this, for a woman
alone in the dark."
"Her home is some distance?"
"Five?six blocks. It is a dark, bad
WAV."
* *
He moved back toward the bar, apparently
satisfied with his examination
of me, as well as his explanation. I
wondered grimly why he had taken
the trouble to tell me all this, and ordered
another glass of beer as an excuse
to linger there a while longer.
What was the party like who was to
call for the girl? I did not have to
linger long to gratify my curiosity.
The side door opened silently, and a
man stepped briskly inside, shaking
the raindrops from his coat as he
greeted the barman cheerily.
"A dirty night, Jans," he said, glancing
swiftly about, his eyes sweeping
over me sharply. "Business not very
good, 1 suirpose?"
"Dead. It's no good now any more,
with all the factories closing up because
of the war. Just some salesman
drops in for a beer. That makes me
