there after a moment Mr Campbell Joined him The bland benevolence of the chiefs face was disturbed by the slightest questioning uplift of his brows as he dropped Into a seat op posite Mr Grimm and lighted a cigar Mr Grimm raised his hand and a servant who stood near approached them An Icehere Mr Grimm directed terselyThe servant bowed and disappeared nnd Mr Grimm hastily scribbled some thing on a sheet of paper and handed It to his chief There is a reading in the Morse code of a message that seems to be unintelligible Mr Grimm explained I have reason to believe It is in the Continental code

glanced about Inquir ingly and a servant who stood stolid ly near the conservatory door ap proached him- Pardon sir but the lady who was dirtlne hsrPV and he Indicated the chair whre Miss Thorne had

any time tthis evening a stout gentleman with red face near the conservatory door heaskedThe tvant pondered a moment then shook his head No sir- Thank you Mr Grimm was just turning away when there came the sharp vibrant craash of a revolver somewhere oft to his loft The president That was his first thought One glance across the room to where the chief executive Btood In conversation with two other gentlemen reassured him The chol eric blue eyes of the president had opened a little at the sound then he calmly resumed the conversation Mr Grimm Impulsively started toward the little group but already a cordon was being drawn therea cordon of quiet faced keen oyed men unobtrusively forcing their way through the crowd There was Johnson and Hastings and Blair and half a dozen others TIle room had been struck dumb Then dancers stopped with tense In quiring looktt aid the pkilnlivu whine of the orchestra far away faltered then ceased There was one brief Instant of utter silence In which white faced women clung to the arms of their escorts and the brilliant galaxy of colors halted Then after a mo ment there came clearly through the ntlllness the excited guttural com mand of the German ambassador Keep on blaylng you tam fools Keep on blaylng The orcnestra started again tremu lously Mr Grimm nodded a silent approval of the ambassadors command then turned away to his left In the direction of the shot After the first dismay there was a general move ment of the crowd in that direction a movement which was checked bv l rs7t s 1 w t LDhIriILLOSIRATIONS MGK rUTRELLE COPYRIGHT

straight to his chief who had stepped down from the chair Two other secret service men stood behind him blocking the doorway that opened Into a narrow hall This way directed the chief terselyMr Grimm walked along beside him They skirted the end of the ballroom until they came to another door open Ing nto the hall Chief Campbell pushed It open and entered One of his men stood just Inside What was It Gray asked the chiefSenor Alvarez of the Mexican legation was shot was the reply DeadOnly 1 wounded Hes In that room and he Indicated a door a little way down the hall Fairchild two serv ants and a physician are with him Who shot him Dont know We found him lying In the hall here Still followed by Mr Grimm the chief entered the ropm and together they bent over the wounded man The bullet had entered the torso Just below tho ribs on the left side Its a clean wound the physician was explaining The bullet passed through Theres no Immediate dan gerSenor Alvarez opened his eyes and stared about him in bewilderment then alarm overspread his face and he made spasmodic efforts to reach the inside breast pocket of his coat Mr Grimm obligingly thrust his hand Into the pocket and drew out its con tents the while Senor Alvarez strug gled frantically Just a moment Mr Grimm ad vised quietly Im only going to llet you see If it Is here Is It He held the papers one by one In front of the wounded man and each time a shake of the head was his answer At last Senor Alvarez closed his eyes again What sort of a paper was It in quired Mr Grimm None of your business came the curt answerryWho shot you 7Tt None of your business A mln1wU tr Senor Alvarez was silent- A woman 1iJIyfrl MW Still silence With son e new Idea Mr Grimm turned away suddenly and started out Into the hall He met a maidservant at the door coming In Her face was blanched and she stuttered through sheer excitement- A lady sira lady she began babbllnglyMr calmly closed the door shutting In the wounded man Chief Campbell and the others Then he caught the maid sharply by the arm and shook Fame coherence Into her dlani deed brain A lIuIYlh ran away sir the girl went on In blank surprise What lady demanded Mr Grimm coldly Where did she run from T Why did she run The maid stared at him with mouth agape Begin at the beginning- I was In that room farther down the hall sir the maid explained The door was open I heard tho shot and it frightened me soI dont know I was afraid to look out right away sir Then an instant later a lady come running along the hallI sfrthDt way and she Indicated the rear of the house Then 1 camo to the door and looked out to see who It was and what was the matter sir I was standing there when a mana man came along after the lady and banged the door in my face sir Tho door

Grimm Yes sir exceptexcept the lady had a pistol In her hand sir Mr Grimm regarded her In silence for a moment Who was the lady he asked at Ilast I forget her name sir She was the lady whowho fainted In the ball room sir just a few minutes ago Whatever emotion may have been aroused within Mr Grimm it certainly found no expression In his face When he spoke again his voice was quite calmMiss Thorne perhaps Yes sir thats the name Miss Thorne I was In the ladles dressing room when she was brought in sir and I remember some one called her nameMr Grimm took the girl still aqulv er with excitement and led her along the hall to where Gray stood Take this girl In charge Gray he directed Lqck Zf rJJauJJC JlQCesBary DonT permir ner toKiy one irora to anybodyanybody you understand except the chief Mr Grimm left them there He passed along the hall glancing In each room as he went until he came to a short flight of state leading toward the kitchen He went on down silent ly The lights were burning but the place was still deserted All the servants who belonged there were evi dently for the moment transferred to other posts He passed on through the kitchen and out the back door into the street A little distance away leaning against a lamp post a man was stand ing He might have been waiting for a car Mr Grimm approached him Beg pardon he said did you see a woman come out of the back door thereYes Just a moment or so ago replied the stranger She got Into an automobile at the corner I imagine this Is hers and he extended a hand kerchief a dainty perfumed trifle of lace I picked It up Immediately after she passed Mr Grimm took the handkerchief and examined it under the light For a time he was thoughtful with lowered eyes which finally raised met those of the stranger with a scruti nizing stare- WhYoasked Mr Grimm slowly and distinctly why did you slam the door In the girls face Why did Iwhat came the answering question Why did you slam the door In the girls face Mr Grimm repeated slowlyThe stranger stared In utter amaze mentan amazement so frank so un acted so genuine that Mr Grimm was satisfiedDid you see a man come out of the door Mr Grimm pursued No Say young fellow I guess youve had a little too much to drink havent you But by that time Mr Grimm was turning the corner CHAPTER V A Visit to the Count The bland serenity of Mr Camp 1 bells face was disturbed by thin spidery lines of perplexity and the guileless blue eyes were vacant as he stared at the top of his desk Mr Grimm was talking From the moment Miss Thorne turned the corner I lost all trace of her he said Either she had an au tomobile In waiting or else she was lucky enough to find one Immediately she came out She did not return to the embassy ball last night that much Is certain He paused reflectively She is a guest of Senorita Inez Rodriguez at the Venezuelan legation he added Yes I know his chief nodded- I didnt attempt to see her there last night for two reasons Mr Grimm continued First she can have no possible knowledge of the fact that she is suspected unless per haps the man who slammed the door He paused Anyway she will not attempt to leave Washington lam confident of that Again it didnt seem wise to me to employ the ordinary crude police methods in the case that Is go to the Venezuelan legs tlon and pick up a row For a long time Campbell was si lent the perplexed lines still furrowed big benevolent forehead The president Is very anxious that we get to facts In this reported Latin alliance as soon as possible he said at last Irrelevantly He mentioned the matter last night and he has been keeping in constant communica tion with Gault in Lisbon who how ever has not been able to add materially to the original dispatch Un der all the circumstances dont you think It would be best for me to re lieve you of the Investigation of this shooting affair so that you can con centrate on this greater ajd more Im portant thing Will Senor Alvarez dlei asked Mr Grimm In turn His condition Is serious although the wound la not necessarily fatal was the reply altsGrintm arose 1 stretched his long legs and stood for a little while gazing out the window Finally ho turned to his chleft What do we know here in the bureau about Miss Thorne This far the reports on her are of the usual perfunctory nature Mr Campbell explained He drew a card from a pigeonhole of his desk and glanced at It She arrived in Wash ington two weeks and two days ago from New York off the Lusltania from Liverpool She brought some sort of introduction to Count dl Ros Inl the Italian ambassador and he ob tained for her a special Invitation to the state ball which was held that night Until four days ago she was a guest at the Italian embassy but now as you know Is a guest at the Venezuelan legation Since her ar rival here she has been prominently pushed forward into society she has gone everwhere and been received everywhere in the diplomatic set We hccndIlistless eyes as they met those of the chief The same line of thought was running in both their minds born perhaps of the association of IdeasItaly- as ono of the three great nations known to Jjo In the Latin compact Prince Benedetto dAbruzzI of Italy the secret envoy of three countries the sudden appearance of Miss Thorne at the Italian embassy And In the mind of the younger man there was more than thisa definite knowledge of a message cunningly trans mitted to Mr Rankin of the German embassy by Miss Thorne there in the ballroom Can Jtouvlmasiine lie wed alow a J csrs you imagine a ircmv n would be of more value to the Lalln government in Washington right at this stage of negotiations than a bril liant womn agnt I most certainly cannot was the chiefs unhesitating response In that case I dont think It would be wise to transfer the Investigation r the shnntlno nN I nI said Mr Grimm emphatically revert ing to his chiefs question I think on the contrary we should find out more about Miss Thorne Precisely Campbell agreed Ask all the great capitals about her Madrid Paris and Rome particularly then perhaps London and Berlin and St Petersburg- Mr Campbell thoughtfully scribbled the names of the cities on a slip of paperDo you intend to arrest Miss Thorne for the shooting he quer- Ied I dont know replied Mr Grimm frankly I dont know he repeated musingly If I do arrest her Imme diately I may cut off a clue which will lead to the other affair I dont know he concluded Use your own Judgment and bear in mind that a mana man slammed the door In the maids face- I shall not forget him Mr Grimm answered Now Im going over to talk to Count dl Roslnl for a while The young man went out thought fully tugging at his gloves The Ital ian ambassador received him with an Inquiring uplift of his dark brows- I came to make some Inquiries In regard to Miss ThorneMiss Isabel Thorne Mr Grimm Informed him franklyThe count was surprised but it didnt appear in his face As I understand it the young man pursued yon are sponsor for her In WashingtonThe evasively diplomatic born and bred in a school of caution considered the question from every standpointIt be that I am so regarded he admitted at last May I Inquire If the sponsorship is official personal social or all three Mr Grimm continued There was silence for a long time- I dont see the trend of your ques tioning said the ambassador finally Miss Thorne Is worthy of my protec tion In every way Lets suppose a case suggested Mr Grimm blandly Suppose Miss Thorne had had let us say shot a man and he was about to die would you feel justified In withdrawing that that protection as you call It Such a thing is preposterous ex claimed tho ambassador The utter absurdity of such a charge would Impel me to offer her every assistance Mr Grimm nodded And If It were proved to your sat isfactlon that she did shoot him he went on evenly The counts lips were drawn togeth er in a straight line Whom may I ask he Inquired frigidly are we supposing that Miss Thorne shot No one particularly Mr Grimm assured him easily Just suppose that she had shot anybodyme say or Senor Alvarez I cant answer a question so ridiculous as that And suppose we go a little further Mr Grimm insisted pleasantly and assume that you knew she had shot some one say Senor Alvarez and you could protect her from the consequences would you- I decline to suppose anything so utterly absurd was the rejoinder- Mr Grimm sat with his elbows on his knees Idly twisting a seal ring on his little finger The searching eyes of the ambassador found his face blankly inscrutlblc Diplomatic representatives in Washington have certain obligation to tills government the young man reminded him Wethat Is the got srnmnt Qf the United States under take to guarantee the personal safety rt every accredited representative In return for that protection we must in slat upon the name and identity of a dangerous person who may be known to any foreign representative Un derstand please Im not asserting that Miss Thorne is a dangerous per son You are sponsor for her here Is she in every way worthy of your protectionYes said the ambassador flatly 101can take it then that the Introduction she brought to you is from a person whose position is high enough to insure Miss Thomes position 1 That Is correct Verywell Arid Mr Grimm wont away h CHAPTER VI- ReVelationa Some vague Indefinable shadow darkened Miss Themes clear blue gray eyes in sharp contrast to the glow of radiant health in her cheeks as she stepped from the automobile In front of the Venezuelan legation and ran lightly up the stcpsA liveried unrvnnt opened the Joor A gentleman is waiting for you madam he announced His card is here on the I was expecting hlmshe Inter rupted Which room please The blue room madam Miss Thorne passed along the hall way which led to a suit of small draw ingrooms opening on a garden in the rear pushed aside the portieres and enteredIm sorry Ive kept you she began and then in a tone of surprise I beg your pardon- A gentleman rose and bowed gravelyI Mr Grimm of the secret service he Informed her wfth frank cojirt 8j ii urn afraid dutltetei- w pecTTHE some tine OTsffl ThandW tay card to the footman For an instant the bluegray eyes opened wide in astonishment and then some quick subtle change swept over Miss Themes face She smiled graciously and motioned him to a seat This Is quite a different meeting from the one Senorita Rodriguez had inii laflt it she asked There was a taunting curve on her scarlet lips the shadow passed from her eyes her slim white hands lay Idly In her lap Mr Grimm regarded her reflectively There was a determ ination of steel back of this charming exterior there was an indomitable will a keen brain and all of a wom ans intuition to reckon with She was silent with a questioning upward slant of her arched brows- I am not mistaken in assuming that you are a secret agent of the Italian government am 17 he queried finally No she responded readily In that event I may speak with per fect frankness he went on It would be as useless as It would be absurd to approach the matter in any other manner It was a question Miss Thorne was still smiling but again the vague indefinable shadow momentarily lifted darkened her eyes You may be frank of course she said pleasantly Please go on Senor Alvarez was shot at the German embassy ball last night Mr Grimm told her Miss Thorne nodded as if in won derDid you or did you not shoot himIt was quite casual She received the question without change of countenance but Involuntarily she caught her breath It might have been a sigh of relief Why do you come to me with such a query she asked In turn- I beg your pardon interposed Mr Grimm steadily Did you or did you not shoot him No of course I didnt shoot him was the reply If there was any emo tion in the tone it was merely impa tience Why do you come to me she repeatedWhy come to you Mr Grimm echoed the question while his listless eyes rested on her face I will be absolutely frank as I feel sure you would be under the same circum stances He paused a moment she nodded Well immediately after the shooting you ran along the hallway with a revolver In your hand you ran down the steps into the kitchen and out through the back door where you entered an automobile That Is not conjecture It is susceptible of proof by eye witnesses Miss Thorne rose suddenly with a queer helpless little gesture of her arms and walked to the window She stood there for a long time with her hands clasped behind her back That brings us to another ques lion Mr Grimm continued merciless ly If you did not shoot Senor Al varez do you know who did There was another long pause I want to believe you Miss Thorne he supplemented- She turned quickly with something of defiance In her attitude Yes I know she said slowly It were useless to deny it prtTi Mr Grimm leaned forward in his chair and spoke earnestly Understand please that by that answer you assume equal guilt with the person who actually did the shooting he explained If you ad here to it you compel me to regard you as an accomplice His question ing took a different line Will you ex plain how the revolver came Into your possessionOh I picked It up In the hall way there she replied vaguely- I want to believe you Miss Thorne Mr Grimm said again You may I picked It up In the hallway she repeated I saw It 1ly ing there and picked it up Why that Instead of giving an alarmNo alarm was necessary The shot itself was an alarm Then why Mr Grimm persisted coldly did you run along the hall way and escape by way of the kitch en If you did not do the shooting why the necessity of escape carrying the revolver There was that In the bluegray eyes which brought Mr Grimm to his feet His hands gripped each other cruelly his tone was calm as always Why did you take the revolver heaskedMiss head dropped for ward a little and she was silent There are only two possibilities of course he went on First that you tn spite of your denial did the shoot- Ing I did not The words fairly burst from her tightly closed lips Or that you knew the revolver and tooK It to save the person man or woman who fired the shot I will as sume for the moment that this is correct Where is the revolver From the adjoining room there Came a slight noise a faint breath of cund 01 ft Talrht have y =AiV Only nil echo of silence Their eyes were fixed each upon the others unwaveringly with not a flicker to indicate that either had heard After a moment Miss Thorne returned to her chair and sat down Its rather a singular situation Isnt it Mr Grimm she inquired ir relevently You Mr Grimm of the Secret Service of the United States I Isabel Thorne a secret agent of Italy together here one accusing the other of a crime and perhaps with good reason Where is the revolver Mr Grimm insisted- If you were any one else but you I could not afford to be frank with You id 1 Is She In Every Way Worthy of Your Protection 1 j Tf you naa peen any one else nut you I should have placed you under arrest when I entered the room She smiled and Inclined her head I understand she said pleasantly For the reason that you are Mr Grimm of the Secret Service I shall ell you the truth I did take the re solver because I knew who had fired ho stint Relieve me when I tell you that that person did not act with mr knowledge or consent You do believe that You do She was plead Ing eager to convince him After a while Mr Grimm nodded The revolver Is beyond your reach resumedAccording am an accomplice That Is my mis fortune It will in no way alter my determination to keep silent If I am arrested I cant help it She studied his face with hopeful eyes Am I to be arrestedWhere the paper that was takont from Senor Alvarez Immediately after he was shot Mr Grimm queried 2gf I dont know she replied frankly As I understand It then the motive for the shooting was to obtaIn possession of that paper For your governmentThe who shot Senor Alvarez did obtain the paper yes And now please am I to be arrested And Just what was the purpose may I Inquire of the message you tel egraphed with your fan in the ball room You read that exclaimed Miss Thorno In mock astonishment You read that And the man who read that mes sage Perhaps he shot the senor Perhaps she taunted For a long time Mr Grimm stood staring at her staring staring She too rose and faced him quietly Am I to be arrested she asked againWhy do you make me do Ili hti demandedThat my affair Mr Grimm laid a hand upon her arm a hand that had never known nervousness A

have the worry habit the thing for them to do is to turn the search light direct on themselves and try and determine where the fault lies It nutty not be possible to cure the worry habit in a day or
