There was nothing I cou'd do to avert discovery, no place In which I could crouch In hiding.

The fellow laughed softly, releasing his grip on my coat. "If you attended more meetings you'd be letter perfect," he said, his English without an accent.

His confidence In my Identity as Charlett might win me entrance?but what then? Thut I was not Charlett would certnlnly he re ealed by th? flrwt gleam of light, and I Would be helpless. I was alone, unarmed, and these fellows, beyond question, were engaged In a desperate game. I am sure I siiuuiu ue?ci' have ventured It had not my companion suddenly turned and grasped my sleeve.

Here's the door." He rapped lightly, his fingers still gripping my sleeve In a grasp of friendship. 1 could have broken away, ant! ran for It, but something mysterious held me, some odd fascination of danger. I saw nothing, heard nothing, yet had an Instinctive feeling that a narrow wicket had opened In the door, through which bur dim outlines were being scrutinized. I held mv breath expectantly. "Who is there?" the voice was a fere whisper, ao close as to startle me, "Caspar Wine," was the auswet, is the same low tone, "163." "Whut word?" "Cervuntea." "But th?re are two of you."

A latch clicked softly, and a dim ray of light broke In upon us from a revealed passage beyond. It was so faint as to scarcely render features visible. and, us my coat collar was still upturned, I pressed forward close behind Wine without iHimvor*.

Only a strange chance had given nie the clew, and only a reckless per, slstency had opened a way before nie. Now my life was no longer my own; it belonged to my country. I must live to expose these men. But how? My heart failed uie as I stHred about at the bare walls, and forward to where a heavy cuftaln draped the end ( of the passage.

"She didn't, for the matter of that; Rut she had been piped off on Jans* place, nnd agreed to be there as soon as It was dark. I'm wondering If she | snowed up; let's go In and see." ?

I accepted the only course possible, . and began to feel my way to tlie left. 8kirtlDg the wall of rough boarding, i uniii Si widened out Into what was apparently the larger room beyond. No Round reached me from any direction, the silence and darkness oppressing y me, as though they had weight. . Yet one Tact became more and more , clear?the deliberate purpose with which this deserted Iron factory had , been prepared for a secret rendezvous. Apparently, from without. It stood , grim, desolate end deserted, yet the r , Interior arrnncenienis were such that .

I was blinded, and so tightly ! grasped at the throat as to be nearly strangled. I only dimly realized that my assailant was a man, his grip that of a giant.

The fellow gave me little opportunl 1 ty to either act, or think. A match flared, and was held aloft to a gas Jet which lustantly broke into a dull flame, sufheleat to render visible the fnll exI tent of the small room In which we stood. In some semi-conscious way 1 was aware of bnre walls, of a small tnble opposite with some writing materials on It, and a short bench covered ' by a blanket. I suppose I saw these I things, yet all that 1 seemed to per| cc!re was the man fronting ine, who i i-i iiiu in mj rate, a quizzical slime till his Hps as though still half uncertain 1 of the reality of iny presence. He was tall, a trifle angular, but exceedingly well-dressed, with closely trimmed iron-gray heard and peculiar eyes deeply set in a rather chalky face. He broke the silence, evidently inclined to look upon this meeting us a Joke. "Don't recognize me, I reckon? Well, tlini ain't to be wondered nt, for likely enough you never saw me before. Beats the devil though why you should drift In here; now 1 suppose It will have to be ftfty-tlfty." His words and manner gave me a new lease on life. Whoever the follow might be he was seemingly friendly. 1 must meet the fellow In that same spirit and endeavor to extract from hiin some knowledge of whom he supposed me to be. "I do not quite get the drift of all this." I ventured. "You Imply that you know me." "H?11, yes. Over in Bow Street, on the other side. The Ilartlebury robbery case.

I do not believe I was ever more frightened In my life, although outwardly cool enough, and my hrnin perfectly clear. There was no retreat possible. I must go on, acting out the strange character in this drama to which I had been assigned. "Rut you are not known hv that name hero?" T ventured. "I should any not. I'm Horner. P. S.
