"AH, SENORITAI" Synopsis.—ln a New/York jewelry store Philip Severn,yUnited States consular agent, noting a small box which attracts him. He purchases It Later he discovers In a geaset compartment a writing giving aclew to a revolutionary movement In this country ostensibly-seeking the overthrow of the Chilean government. but evidently International In character and In any event threatening the welfare of the United States. The'writer mentions a rendezvous and Severn, temporarily at lelsurq, (fctermlnes to Investigate on his own account.

CHAPTER I —Continued. The whole affair looked hopeless. About ail-1 could do Would he to send the torn note to the proper authorities In Washington, with a statement of how it came into my possession, and let them the matter in any way they deemed best. I wrote such a letter carefully ou hotel stationery, and went down to mull it in the lobby. Before, disposing of it in the mailbox' I encountered the manager, Burke, and shopped for a word. We were still talking when a bellboy came up hurriedly with a message. Burke turned.' "What is it,- George . • "That Gans street party on the wire, sir.” “Oh, all right. Excuse me, Severn, but I’ve been trying to get connection yor an hour.” 1 "But wait a minute," my veins tingling. “Did he say Guns street? Where Is that? There Is no sut-h name In the city directory.” “Gans ! Why, over In- Jeysey. Yes, I’m coming.” I thrust the unmailed letter into -my pocket, and sat down, staring at the crowd in the lobby, but entirely indifferent to their presence. Here at least was,an opening, a chaflcef-Qans street was in Jersey City. Then it was not alf a dream." I would at least look over the ground before I gave up in despair/ for I had stumbled uppft a way out of The blind alley—Gans street, Jersey City,' CHAPTER 11. A Man and a Woman. It was late in the afternoon, the day dark, with q chilly wind blowing off -tile rn'er^-w+HU-r-l—(>'!tt4te4-Jersey-G4*y. The first policeman encountered gave me all necessary directions, so that I alighted •from a street cur within a block of my destination. A sgloon on the upper corner of the block burnished me the necessary clow,- and, using it as a marker, I-succeeded in tracing back until satisfied I had thus safely located "570.” It wils an abandoned factory, built of brick, two stories high, evidently over, considerable ground at the -rear, but with a frontage not to exceed forty feet. The lower windows were boarded up, u 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 bur. A smaller door to the right alone offered any possibility of entrance, although it was tightly closed. f ■ ■ 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 us to be almost

In tl)g ptfowing dusk I was obliged to study it intently to decipher the words, but finally made them out letter by letter: . “OFFICE ALVA MALLEABLE IKON COJJBAXY.” Here was a strange coincident, if nothing more, for Clustave Alva had been one of the- name's signed on the hotel register. Beyond doubt this old, .abandoned iron foundry was his property, and what better spot eould be "selected in which to meet and concoct a schema of crime? What a place to

hide amis for Shipment. Whatever doubt I may have' felt regarding thy venture vanished tu the presence of .that uhusual name. This was unques- | tloriably the place named in the letter us a rendezvous ; here was where the recipient of that letter was to go and receive instructions; where he was to usC-tne mysterious raps, and the’ countersign “Cervantes," in order to gain uduilttunce. The knowledge that 1 was actually upon the threshold of such a discovery brought with it a*de- . termination 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 front necessity. Nb Sign of life was visible for the full extent of the block, until the saloon on the further corner *can;e into view. Its gleaming hospitality Invited myvand I strolled along the opposite walk, my coat eotiar turned up to shut out the drizzle, and finally crossed over to where I could peer in through the dingy windows. The man behind tluc bar was unmistakably Polish, and of no high' type, and at first I saw no other occupants of the place except two roughly, dressed men at a table just fhside, who were playin'g 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, nnd I would have turned away,-*but at that Instant I perceived the indistinct figure of a yoiing woman in the further corner, sitting beside actable 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 noharm 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 she was scat-eely 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 lie prepared the sandwich, and the only thing unusuaF 1 noticed was the passage of a slight signal between him and the woman across the-room. I could not be sure even as to that, but gained the impres--Slmf’that he shook his head negatively. us though to some mute question. Unless it mightr be the intense brunette blackness of hair and qn extremely clear complexion, there was nothing typically Spanish in her appearance. Indeed she impressed me as thoroughly American in features, dress and manner, somewhere in the twenties t 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. 1 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 iu •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 -be some meaning to her presence. ,trfie, proprietor approached me, leaning one hand on the table. ' .. " “There is nothing, more?" he asked. ,“N.0,; this will answer very well.”' Tte lingered, tempted to question me.. '“You have not been in before? Perhaps you do not live near?” “I do not,” I replied frankly., “I travel out of Boston, and sell lumber. I ha Ye been doing some business with tile yuriiTiowinjeidwr* ~ “I see.... You are not'froru 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?.

I looked tip quickly into his face, 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. ’Tl.s time for' them to strike blow.” . -“You are I'qlMr, arc you not?" “Yuli, 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 tile glance. "You wonder what she'do in here?”he asked. “1 tell you. She was my niece, an' sit here to. wait for a t fiend to walk home with' her. It is not a good neighborhood,, this, for a woman alone iu the dark.”.' "lief home- is some distance?" "Five-six blocks.
