do you say?** I
had the whole story now In a nut.
shell and It was one to think oter.
? That Harris had played his cards well
f was sufficiently evident. Now I must
be fully as cautions'In playing mine.
I felt the follow had given me his full

be Daly, and on the same trail with
him; desiring to use me In what was
r probably the biggest Job of his life.

danger of audi en attempt, the Immedlate
peril of endeevorlng to accoro"
pllah this alone, yet at the moment
perceived no other way. I must re?
main Daly and appear eager to obtain
^ my share of the spoils.
"A slick piece of work, Harris,- I
admitted admiringly, -and so far as I
? can Judge you have figured out the
chances about right. They look good.
Tm with you, old man?shake!"
Our hands clasped. "That Is what
8 I thought you would say, Harry,"
more familiarly. "Oome on now and
R drink with me."
I put the stuff down, rather feeling
the need of It, and desiring to establish
our Intimacy more closely^
, "Then that's settled, George?yes,
Fll have another cigar. By the way,"
as I lit up, "there was another thing
r I wanted to ask you about. Tou said
- there was a woman here from Washington.
What's the Idea?"
"D?n If I know, but I guess it's all
1 right. 8ttll I don't quite cotton to the
dame. This Is how I get It from Alva.
t Those Junta fellows?the big ones, you
know?think this New York bunch Is
pretty slow; they want some action
for their money. So Senor Mendez,
who seems to he engineering the deal.
' decides to send somebody over here to
, stir up the criminals. But he's
1 watched every minute; secret service
men are as thick as files, and If one of |
' his underlings waa to 'leave for New
| York, he'd never get_ten feet without
[' being spotted. Mendea Is wise to this,
(| so he gathers In privately a skirt he
I believes Is all right, and sends her!
It's not a decent Job for a woman, and
that's what makgp It safe. He made
a good guess, too; that female Is as
. smart as a steel trap. She gave me
the cold shivers."
, "You don't think she suspects you?"
"No, I don't; ther? ain't no reason
^ why she should; but ahe gave me the
once over, all right, and I am perfectI
ly willing to know she la on her way
I back to Washington. I never did play

' ?perhaps that's what makes me.
afraid of 'em."
"What's her name?"
j "Oessler, so Alva said?Marie Gessler;
South American, I suppose; any
she talked that language like a
native. I steered clear of her most of
the time. Somehow she got xaj goat.
. However, that's nothing to worry
* over." He glanced at his watch. "The
dame's safely off by this lime. What
do you say?let's go home."
I signified my willingness.
? As we passed out together through
. the narrow passage, extinguishing the
lights behind us, the one overpowering
desire In my mind was to be once
r more alone, so as to think over, and
piece together as best I might this
1 fabric of villainy with yhlch I was
- confronted. The situation was fairly
? clear, yet there were strange lights
and shadows In It I found hard to
reconcile. Moreover, what should I
' do? How could I serve best?by lm*
mediately telling mj story to the officers
of the law, and thus washing my
r hands clea^f or by continuing to ent
act the role of Harry Daly, and In this
way entrapping these fellows redhanded?
I had had fnlly enough of
* Harris-for the present. His boastful
* nesa and pride of orlme disgusted me.
* I had no desire to be associated with
f the fellow, or pretend, even for a
1 worthy purpose, to be bis companion.
r Yet, all this had happened so suddenly
and unexpectedly I could not determine
the best course to pursue. I
remained dazed and confused, the
only clear decision being an eagerness
* to bring him, and these others also, to
t Justice.
We were the last to lea re the place,
r and emerged from the building Into
t the deserted yard, leaving all in silence
and darkness behind us. The
door closed tightly, secured by a nightlatch.
rtnd we stood motionless In the
drizzle By that time I was ready
with 'i suggestion, but by good fortune
, he took the Initiative.
"We better slip out of here alone. I
teckon," he whispered. "Ill go up
this way, and then you take u sneak
through the lumber yard. Likely we'll
catch the same ckr going down. If we
^on't, look'* me up. at Costlgan'a place
?you know where that Is?"
"Sixth avenue, Jan't ItY'

don't get away with the stuff.
"You expect him to draw?"
"Not before night; but. Just the
same, I want to know for sure. You
wait here five minutes, for I've got the
longest trip to make. You'll show up
all right?"
"You can't lose ma; It looks too
good."
He chuckled and patted ma on the
shoulder In an excess of frlendlihess,
evidently feeling to soma extent the
whisky he had been Imbibing so freely.
"Thafs the talk, Daly. Well so
too?.H J
He slipped out through the gate Into
the dark of the alley, leering It slightly
ajar for me te fellow. 1 sheltered
iwaif behind khh hMid faune
I 1 _ '' as?a?m
feet In the mud. The sound vanished*
and all about was silence and darkness.
I waited only long enough to be
sure he was safely out of the way, and
then followed, eager to be pff. One
thing was certain, I would make no
effort to join him on the car; I would
use the remainder of the night to decide
the future, working out the proby
lem alone.
To make certain that I avoided any
possibility of encountering the Yellow
again, I passed directly through the
deserted lumber yard before emerging
upon Gans street. This thoroughfare
was at this hour desolate enough, not
a light showing In the houses, or e
moving figure visible as far as I
could see In the dimness of the street
lamps. The rain was steady, the pavement
shimmering with moisture, the
only sound the pattering of the drops
as they fell. If any policemen were
abroad I saw no signs, and. With collar-turned
up to my ears. I chose to
walk rather than seek the block to the
east and the possibility of a street car.
The factory district ended In a row
of houses, dark and sllpnt at this hour,
but the walking .was good, and ~T
pushed forward briskly, so burled In
thought as to become practically Insensible
to the unpleasant surroundings.
The night had been a full one.
far exceeding my expectations, yet
left me more puasled than ever as to
my own duty. 80 far I knew of no
act of crime with which these men
could be connected; they were merely
nronoslnc a future attack on a neu
tral government. If, however I consented
to plej my pert with Harris, 1
would not only be In ample time to
circumvent any danger Alva and hla
gang might contemplate, but also gain
ample evidence for their conviction
and expulsion from this country. In
addition to this I would be In position
to block the daring plans of this International
thief. Altogether It seemed
to me that the wiser course for me to
pursue was to wait, and watch, ready
to act at any moment, but keeping my
own council until certain that the
specific moment had ar.ived.
Nor was I oblivious to the strange
Impression left upon me by my encounter
with Marie Gees' r. She had ,
Interested me oddly, and I could not
drive her memory from my thoughts.
Our moment of conversation had been
peculiar, and her words and actions
remained as a constraint. Why had
she stood there, her hand on the door,
and talked to me In that mocking ,
way? Had she a purpose, an aim?
Did she believe my explanation? or
I was her suspicion aroused luto a de- |
termination to verify It In some wuy? I
Although 1 could not decide, yet doubt- |
less the latter theory was the nisst ;
probable. That was why I had been
pledged to call at "24'i l.e Compte I
street,", and ask for "MKta Conrad." i
This was the same place where Harris
had secretly met Kruntz. Evidently ,
It was another heiulqunrters for these
precious vllluins. Once there, and
safely in their power, the truth of my
Identity could easily be established.
Was that her Idea?
If so, who then was "Miss Conrad?"
Not Marie Oessler, certainly, under
another name, for she would have returned
to Washington. There was no
doubt as to that, for Alva had agreed,
to take her direct to the depot In his
own car, and would scarcely leave until
she was safely on the train. Probably
the other woman was a confederate
With whom she would nuiinuinl.

cate by telephone. My clearer Judgment
told me aU this, made me fully
conscious of the danger of keeping
this appointment, yet never swerved
me from an Intention to do so. Marls
Gessler's eyes were frank and honest;
they had looked directly Into my own,
pleadingly I Imagined, and I retained
a blind faith In her no ordinary circumstances
would overcome. She ^as
Involved In this criminal"conspiracy?
there could be no doubt as to that?
but why? under what conditions?
What could ever have driven so womanly
a woman to soo-h an Cl&uOu? | '
Was her appeal to me an effort at assistance?
Was aha blindly endeavoring
to learn In this way If 1 was
worthy of trust, and confidence? This
hope would not down; it remained Insistent,
persistent I would keep my
word; I would go to the place designated,
at the hour set; I would fb
armed, prepared for whatever might
occur of treachery?but I would go.
Perhaps here was the key to the whole
mystery; and once I jolved her connection
with the plot, particularly If
It absolved her from blame, and the
necessity ef exposure, 1 could go forward
with clear conBdence, and land
these others ithere they Justly belonged.
It Wat a Long, Thln-Bladed Dagger.
I must have covered four or flva
blocks Immersed In such thought, almost
forgetful o'f my surroundings,
my bead bent low before the rain, my
feet carelessly slushing through the
water In pools on the sidewalk. I met
no one, heard no sound to arouse me;
all about was dark, desolate, forlorn.
Then suddenly I became conscious of
some unusual obstruction Just ahead.
At first I took It for a wrecked wagon
lying against the curb, but another
step forward revealed the truth?a deserted
touring car. Its red tall-light
t was not wreck no si^n of accilent
was to be noticed. ?ven In that
llm Hgbt I eohld see the machine waa
10 common car, a sedan, Its glass brlliant
In spite of the rain spatters, and
ts paint gleaming brightly.
.1 stared about wondertngly, but
:ould perceive nothing to account for
he presence of such a car, or Its apmrent
desertion. Up and down both
itreets not a figure moved; not a
lound reached me but the slough of
he wind, and the patter of rain. I
ihlvered with the loneliness of It aJl,
is curiosity led me to cross the muddy
wrkway to assure myself as to what
his strange desertion meant.
There was no one In the car. I
lould look straight through the
11mmed windows, against the glare of
i street lamp a block away. One of
he rear doors stood half open, and,
empted by It, I bent over, and felt
vlthln. My hand touched some ob*
ect on the floor, and I Instantly
itralghtened up with the thing
pipped In my fingers. It was a long,
hln-bladed dagger?an ornament
ether than a weapon?with an odd,
'anciful hilt. There were stains upon
he polished steeland the moment I
aw It, I knew where It had attracted
uy attention before?as a pin in Male
Gessler's hat.

I stood staring at It/slowly oomprelendlng

lark stains on the blade. Their naure
could' not be determined In so

ily God 1 could it be blood?* Blood ! It

I could not but know Instantly
vhat I saw?a dim, huddled form
eanlng forward across the steeringrheel,
one hand .vet on the spokes,
vlth head dangling helplessly, upheld
inly by contact with the windshield.
1 knew the man was dead before I
oucnert the cold hand; his very posure

nstnntly, from a stab in the back; I
ould not see his features, the darkless
hid them, but desperation drove
ne to pass my hand over the conealed
face; the upturned mustache,
he exposed teeth, grinning Ironically
n death, left no doubt as to who he
I'as?the Chilean soldier and attache,
Captain Alva. The awful horror of It
laralyaed my very brain. She must
iave done this! That girl must have
:lUed him! But why? for what reaon?
for what purpose? Could It have
een In answer to Insult? Had the
nan dared to press his advances once
hey were alone? and had she related?
I would not question his InUnatlon,
yet this was not possible,

protect her from discovery If I could;

knife In a pocket of my coat, and
isstened down the side street toward
the nearest car line, my only desire
