For several seconds no one stirred. All stared at Adams In sheer amaze ment. It was Toko who broke the sus pense by entering and whispering to Miss Dare. Tearl looked at her chauffeur blank ly. "Where here? Did she give you her name?" Toko shook his head. Miss Dare excused herself and stepped into the corridor. . There a haughty and stylishly dressed young woman awaited her. Pearl Immediately recognized the girl whom she had seen when tho corpse of Captain Payne was discov ered at the railroad wreck. "You are Miss Dare, I believe?" Pearl bowed formally. "And you?" Her caller smiled faintly. "Is the name of Miss Bertha Bonn unfamiliar to you?" "I regret to say that It Is. Please be brief for I am engaged. I saw you at the railroad wreck yesterday, didn't I?" "Yes," said Bertha Bonn, abruptly. "That has something to do with my visit to you here that and this." She took from her mesh bag a slim, oblong packet and a sealed note. "Do you recall the strange man with the lan tern who helped you to identify Cap tain Payne?" A thrill shot through Tearl. "Ad ams I" she gasped before she could restrain herself. "Yes Is he here?" Pearl eyed her suspiciously. "He Is. Do you wish to communicate to him through me?" Bertha placed the packet and note In Miss Dare's hand. "Not ten min utes ago I received a visitor at my apartment In the Hotel Wilton," she explained. "lie was dressed In the uniform of a Senate building guard and was very much upset. He told me that a grave Injustice was being done to a man by the name of T. O. Adams of Monks Corner, Nebraska, and that if I came here Immediately and deliv ered these things to you It would prob ably be the means of saving his life. He gave me a written order of admis sion. So here I am." "Why, of all persons, were you cho sen as his messenger?" was all Pearl could think of saying In that sur prising moment. Thus far Bertha had spoken the truth. But now she became evasive. The return of her locket containing i Major 'Brent Receives a Bouquet and a Message. Major Brent's photograph, so neces sary In Bertha Bonn's scheme of con quest, had been promised her If she would perform this mission and pro ceed without delay to the originally appointed rendezvous at the Paso del ftort oa t Granadlan frontier. I si Story of America First' unmasking America 's Secret Foes Novelized From the Motion Picturf Serial of the Same Name Re leased by Pa the tm-V, 11. fro r. no n "I cannot answer that question. I, too, thought It strange." Pearl was at a loss as to what to do with her visitor. Just then her fa ther, Colonel Dare, hastened down the corridor, an expression of relief ap pearing on his anxious countenance upon sight of her. She Introduced Bertha, who repeated her story. Upon the Colonel's suggestion the three re turned to the waiting group In Senator Warfleld's office. By a curious Irony Bertha Bonn was requested to occupy a chair next to Major Brent. Again she told her story under the sharp cross-questioning of Major Steele of the army Intelligence bureau, condbcting tht Inquiry. Senator War field listened with mouth agape; Toko with natural Interest In anything per taining to Miss Dure; Adams with bland and speculating attention. Pearl gave the packet and note to Mujor Steele, which he In turn Lauded to Adams. "Open them!" he ordered. Major Brent interposed an objec tion, leaping to his feet and taking the center of the room. "This Is an extremely singular and Irregular affair, colonel 1" he exclaimed, saluting and addressing his superior. "Who knows what those envelopes contain? This man who is under sus picion should not be permitted to open them !" All eyes were turned upon the major and In that absorbing second or two Adams, stepping back a pace, ex changed the packet In his hand with one from his inner coat pocket. The action was unobserved. "Open them yourself, then," growled Major Steele, turning to Adams, . who passed the things in his hand to Major Brent. As everyone save Adams drew near to him, Major Brent continued to show hesitation and doubt as to the wisdom of this procedure. But at a nod from Colonel Dare he did as he had been asked. The note was opened first. "Keep out of our affairs hereafter," it read. It was signed under the sil houette of a masked man: "THE SILENT MENACE." , Next came the packet. To the uston Ishment of all it contained Senator Warfield's summarized military pre paredness file with the theft of which they had charged Adams. A hasty examination showed It to be damp, as from a copying press. "I warned you, senator," drawled Adams; "I w-warned you." "By Jove, you did I" acknowledged the senator warmly. He stepped up to Adams and grasped his hand. "I owe you on apology. Will you accept It?" "S-sure," beamed Adams ; and to his evident embarrassment and surprise, the others followed the senator's ex ample, even Major Steele. "I guess you're not the man we're after, after all," declared the latter, appraising him. "I g-guess you're right there," stam mered Adams. "What's more, you'd b-better git me In on this thiug that's what I told this little g-glrl here," In dicating Miss Dare, who, with her father and Senator Warfield, closely followed the conversation, Brent, Ber tha and Toko having left the room. "What do you mean by that?" lnter IMJsed Colonel Dare, smiling at. the fa miliarity Adams assumed in his ref erence to his daughter. In the awe of the simple for brass buttons, Adams replied: "I got a n-no- tlon, colonel, that I kin help your daughter to s-solve the riddle about her dead beau. T-that's what I told her. She w-wouldn't hear to It. She g-got an Idea that I was some chap she called The Silent Menace' that pears t-to be behind all these here doin'8, like this f'rlnstance. The hull t-truth Is I pick up a lot of dope, waltin' around In hotel cafes, barber Ing and t-telegraph operating and sech like. People think I'm a doggone fool because I stutter and pay no attention to me. Now, w-what I'd like to do" he reflected a moment "I'd like to Jlne the army, and b-be attached to you sort of like" "lour orderly, father," whispered Pearl, to whoa the suggestion ap pealed. The colonel noaded. So did Major Steele. So did Senator Warfield. "That's it," concluded Adams. "Then I Could watch a-after this girl here.' Pearl giggled. "I like her," declared Adams in a postscript. And so It happened that within the next few days T. O. Adams of Monks Corner, Neb., became orderly to Colonel ltlchard Dare of the Seventy first Engineers, U. S. A. The government now began to take some heed to Pearl Dare's assertions of a foreign alliance scheming to In volve and at the same time cripple the country In war. The canal- defense plans had been stolen, the na tional preparedness budget had been stolen, copied and returned what government secret next would be re vealed to hostile eyes? Every branch of the secret service department was called into play to ferret the Intriguers out of their apparently Impregnable disguises and positions of security. Eveuts thickened. Fretted by our alien laws, the Orient, whose glittering eyes were fastened upon our Asiatic possessions, kept us in a constant ex pectancy. With Canada, our northern neighbor, we had no difficulty except that by her we were not regarded with the old-time friendliness; rather were we in disfavor because of our neutral position with all powers then at war In Europe, of which her mother country was one. On our southern ex posure we were always in hot water; and now added fire had been heaped under the troublesome diplomatic kettle and Granada was boiling. As a precautionary measure Colonel Dare and his staff were detailed south to quietly establish base patrols on the Granadlan frontier and meet and con fer with the American consul, whose passports had been handed to him by the Granadlan government. Miss Pearl Dare, with Toko and the big touring car, accompanied them. To Orderly Adams, It must be ad mitted, the orders to go south came as though they had been long expected, and he prepared. As a soldier he had developed with remarkable aptitude and was eager to see real service. As a private Individual, so far as his open conduct was concerned, the confidence of the Dares seemed to have been war ranted. Unknown to anyone, however, except the foreign alliance, Adams was really not what he represented himself to be, or at least was open to serious doubts as to the patriotic side of his character. For Adams was the possessor of the secret canal-defense plans. This much-speculated-about military document was In the slim, ob long packet brought to him by Bertha Bonn In the committee room of Sena tor Warfield. It came from the foreign alliance, who, by .their own error, thought they had sent him a copy, when too late realizing their mistake. for the Ink In the plans had faded en tirely, rendering them Illegible until another chemical application could be made. This, for the time being, It was Impossible to do because no one pos- sessed the chemical formula. Adams, for reasons of his own, hid the docu ment in his military belt. He thought that he alone knew where It had been secreted. To Major Brent the southern detail was a most welcome one, for he looked upon It as an opportunity to be re lieved of the constant persecution of Bertha' Bonn who seldom let a day pass without making an effort to be guile him and finally threatened to expose their affair to Pearl Dare. As well may be imagined, therefore, when on leaving Washington on the long overland Journey, Brent ran across the glrf on his train and discov ered that she also was bound for the Granadlan frontier, his rage knew no bounds. He became possessed of one idea how to evade her forever. The circumstances were more than startling when that way opened. His party had arrived and were domiciled at Fort Gordon, a military post of strategic value, adjacent to the com munity of Paso del Norte. He had gone to the hotel to prevent a meet ing between Pearl and Bertha, which the latter had succeeded in conniving for that night. Seated at a corner table in the rude basement bar, Brent bolstered his courage with a Julep. Brent was In the act of lighting a cigarette whW a faint shadow crept upon the wall in front of him and a soft, purring voice in foreign accents whispered in his ear: "Do not turn, senor. It would be dangerous. You desire to efface Ber tha Bonn from your life; eh, senor? Ah! That will be easy and at no in convenience to the major. It will hap pen tonight, if the senor officer, who desires the colonel's daughter to for get forever about Captain Payne will follow tho written directions." The voice ceased. The shadow faded. Brent sat as still as stone for a sec ond. When he looked about no one was within immediate talking distance. He put on his hat, paid his bill, and stepped outdoors. Here he almost ran over a little halfbreed girl, who, to Ms surprise, thrust Into his hand a nosegay and quickly disappeared arcund the corner of the building., A note was fastened to the stem. "Send Pearl Dare alone In the twilight to the pa,ss before Bertha Bonn arrives at Fcrt Gordon," the note read, "she must wear the belt of Orderly Adams. She will :f vxn rvjq! Lim X . rt-V?-i K r l.'V.l--; :? -Floy "' ,4 Adams Becomes the Colonel's Orderly. return unharmed and ne yours forever. Meanwhile, Brtha Bonn will disappear." Brent leaped upon his horse and sent for Adams as. soon as he arrived at the fort. "Let me Vave your belt, sir," he de manded when the latter appeared. There was nothing to do but obey the superior officer. When he was alone Brent scruti nized the belt with great care. It did not seem to differ in any respect from the common article. Afterwards he sent for Pearl, with whom he had a long and serious talk. That evening Pearl set out alone on horseback, laughingly refusing an escort and stating that she did not In tend to go far or be absent long. In the holster of Adams belt, which Ma jor Brent insisted upon adjusting around her waist, was a loaded re volver. Toko was to fetch Bertha Bonn about the hour fixed for her return. Twilight deepened into darkness. She dug the spurs Into the flanks of her mare so as to reach her destina tion quickly for she wus eager to ac complish her errand. Suddenly the mare stumbled and, fell, throwing her. She rose unhurt. The mare, however, lay writhing with a broken leg. Pearl drew her revolver and shot the mare. She realized that she was alone In an .unknown country. Yet she was not alarmed, even when, after dis charging her revolver In the air, no sign of assistance appeared. Present ly there did appear a light moving rap idly and drawing nearer every sec ond. After an Interval, an automobile hove In sight. Toko was at the wheel ; in the rear sat Miss Bonn. In that same instant Orderly Adams rode toward her like mad, and there loomed out of the shadows a body of horsemen Intent upon doing harm. Pearl was lifted by two powerful arras and tossed upon a saddle in front of a huge and evil-eyed foreigner. A fu sillade of shots followed, a blanket was thrown over her head, and she could neither see nor hear more. At the end of a half-hour of hard riding she was seized from the horse, carried an interminable distance through an underground passage, and flung into a corner In a damp cellar. A tall, heavily built and altogether stunning Granadlan leaped. upon her, leashing her arms to her waist and binding " her ankles together. He Jerked Adams belt from her. Coarse ness and brutality, and that he was a grandiloquent and cunning type, were- stamped upon his features as he stood over her. She crouched back, disheveled, un afraid, searching her brain to account for his audacity In kidnaping her that night on American soil and right under the eyes and ears of an American bor der garrison. ne seemed to be musisg over the belt with his back partly toward her. Just behind him a cluster of electric lights from come unknown and fitful current burned in the celling, reflect ing a shadow against the farther wall. There was something unusual about this shadow, for while Bolero for it was he stood like stone, the shadow was animated. Although Pearl had never heard Bo lero's voice, she was quick to recognize something odd In the Granadlan ac cents which were now spoken. "Senor has badly blundered. This Is not the girl, although this is the belt. Senor will hide the belt somewhere. The girl must be released at once. She Is the American colonel's daughter and Captain Payne was to have been her husband." Pearl not only heard this speech In surprise, for she could not see Bo lero's Hps move at all, but what was more confusing was the disappearance of the shadow though Bolero had not changed his position. nis meditation, if such It was, came to an end. He concealed the belt in a cache and approached her. "Ze Mees Dare her pardon! La Bolero, he make 'urn meestake. She shall be what is It you say set loose, yes 1" He was stooping, as If to free her, when her fingers touched his revolver, clurched it; and she held him at bay before he quite comprehended what had transpired. The placo suddenly filled with Bo lerclsts, one of whom knocked the weapon to the floor, too greatly ex cited to pay further heed to her. The flying revolver fell near where was flung and tied a ehltherto nnobserreil second prisoner. He rolled over and covered It with his writhing body. It was Adams. He also was bound. The newcomers crowded around their leader, shouting and gesticulat ing. "Tho Gringos they are upon us!" In their haste and affright they literally dragged the protesting Bolero into a narrow tunnel. The eyes of Pearl and Adams met. Even In that tense moment he was smiling whimsically. She laughed In spite of herself. He had a sense of humor and somehow she was glad. He eyed her dubiously. "Miss Dare hev y-you still gt my belt on?" "Your belt?" she echoed. He nodded. "Yes'm, my belt the one Major Brent gave you to wear to night." A worried look appeared in Pearl's eyes. The matter of the belt had puz zled her, but she had not associated it or her seizure In any Way with Ma jor Brent. Adams, awaiting her reply, noted her sudden abstraction. With increasing vehemence she swift ly reviewed the night's occurrences. She had explained rather blushingiy to herself that the major's visible em barrassment In sending her on her se cret mission was accounted for in the rivalry which had existed between Payne and himself and that he did not want to appear In an ambiguous light. She recalled now his Insistence that she wear the belt so as to be armed. In spite of his assurances that she need have no fear. It was only natu ral that she should wonder about the source of Major Brent's apparently sudden news in the Payne case, wheth er the Bonn woman was not In some way linked In It, and just where her father's orderly came In, if the belt was really his. She concluded that the belt itself would have to answer these questions. Adams, who had not removed his gaze from her face, caught something of the working of her mind when she quickly raised her head and fixedly regarded a spot on the wall. "They hev t-taken the belt from you, h-hev they? Huh! They hev hid It away, hev they? Huhl" The man's divination startled her. "Yes I" she exclaimed, motioning with her head. "It's up there! What Is there about your belt, Adams? I de mand to know !" He appeared to be on the point of telling, her when further conversation was made Impossible for the time be ing by what appeared to be an appa rition emerging from the wall. It was Bolero, however, and his movements Indicated haste. Without glancing at either, he opened the 1 cache and took out the belt. A pistol ! shot rang out and the belt dropped. Completely surprised, Bolero stared open-mouthed Into the barrel of a re volver In the corded hands of Adams. In the next second he leaped aside. howling. A second shot, had grazed ; his scalp. A third followed In quick succession and he disappeared like a i shadow actually melting away. I "How m-much nerve hev you got?" Adams now inquired of Pearl in a I reassuring manner. "I g-got one shot left. I kin cut your wrist cords if you keep still as stone. I'd let you try It on me If I w-was sure I could toss the gun to you. I'm a straight shot We've g-got to do something quick." The confidence that he meant to In still in Pearl came without hesitation. Her alarm of Adams came later. "Quick !" she responded. If she felt fear of consequences she did not re veal It, Adams' eyes shone. "Some girl!" he murmured, delib erately firing. The look upon her countenance as with freed hands she released herself was well worth the dangerous exhibi tion of his skill. "Some shotl" was all she said, now releasing him. She offered the belt to him, veiling her Intense interest in it. - He fitted it snugly around his waist, feigning Indifference to It. "This here t-thlng ain't any good any more," he stammered In his cool, drawling way, regarding the empty re volver. But Pearl noticed that he put It in the holster. Then began search for a way to escape. A hasty Inspection brought out the fact that they were In no ordl nary place of confinement. It was clear at once that Bolero must have arrived and departed by a secret pas sage and this they were unable to locate. Liberation, therefore, might be pos sible only through the tunnel. The area of the tunnel was narrow and cramped. They were obliged to stop and pick their way along an un even footing. There was no light ahead, and after proceeding a short distance complete darkness enveloped them. The atmosphere reeked of foul water somewhere near. Water itself was trickling toward them, and they came to a sudden stop startled by rumbling noises. The earth quivered. Was that an earthquake shock?" asked Pearl, trembling. . Adams gave her hand a quick pres sure. "No'm." , The phenomenon was a familiar one to him. "Them's a-shells burstln'. There's an artillery action over oir heads, wherever that may b-be. Gosh! They're shelling the Granadlaus outa America 1" "I wish they would shell us out of here!" exclaimed Pearl, Impatlentlj. "What's that I see la front of us?" "That's the only way ve'll ever g-git out," was his blunt rolo'nder. Then he uttered an exclamation. A rising stream of water was flooding toward them. "Doggone! I know where we be we're under t-the- river at tho old waterworks near the d-dam. A can tin ball er something has broken tha pipes and turned the water this way. li-back fire, miss, back fire!" They faced each other resolutely as It dawned upon each that they were cornered as the rapid Inflow reached their waists. "T. O. Adams," began Pearl very ear nestly, as the light flickered and died ; Orderly Adams, Who Has Secured the Defense Plans and Concealed Them in His Belt. "will you answer one question? What Is the secret of the belt you wear?" She had unconsciously clasped her nrms about his neck and they were treading water. Before he could frame an answer a faint light appeared from a crack fallowing a terrific crash. It widened and a side of the wall fell In. Adams lifted Pearl to his shoulders, shoved her through the aperture, and she scrambled nimbly to open air and ground. She helped to extricate him. They stood dangerously near the ruins of the hotel, In the midst of a battle between the revolutionists of Granada under Bolero and a detach ment of regulars from Fort Gordon. The garrison guns were raining shrap nel and shell everywhere about them. It was a never-to-be-forgotten scene. The hotel and entire town of Paso del Norte was on fire. The boom of can non half a mile away, explosions In midair and almost at their feet, weird und spasmodic Illuminations in the sky, the crack of the rifle, distinguishable In the rattle and rain of bullets from machine guns, swiftly moving platoons of men in khaki on foot and on horse, the shriek of flying missiles commin gling In the uproar with human cries, and above all the cool and deliberate voices of officers held Adams and Pearl spellbound. They might have remained Indefinite ly in that position, forgetful of Its dan gers, had not a cavalryman, in the act of dashing by, been shot clean out of his saddle, his body falling with a thud. This brought Adams to his senses. He caught the bridle of the dead man's mount, lifted Pearl Into the saddle, flung himself behind her, and galloped away, heading anywhere. There was nothing thick-headed and stupid about Adams. PearJ secretly marveled at his poise, dexterity and, above everything else, his presence of mind; and somehow it seemed to her that this was no new experience for the recruit She was chilled through from the wetting she had recelved.t Clutching the pommel of the saddle,' she stared straight ahead, leaving her salvation entirely to the man behind her. By a curious twist of things they were being driven away from their friends Into the territory of foes. Adams, with the inborn sense of a sol dier, kuew this the moment he suc ceeded in establishing their exact whereabouts and the movements of the contending forces. Once started, how ever, he saw the folly of endeavoring to change their course. In a little while they were some where In the Granadlan foothills. The crash of guns and the shouting of men now ceased. The crack of , the rifle of some sniper on either side was heard at longer intervals. The lurid light began to fade from the sky. There came upon the two silent fugi tives in the Granadlan woods the su pernatural stillness that follows a clash of arms. Queer sounds arose and shadows crept toward them. They had reached the edge of a steep precipice down which led a rough trail to a ravine. Pearl came out of her reverie. "Are we followed?" she asked, un easily. Adams startled her by leaping to the ground. He Jrew from the sadd1eba a revolver and handed It to her. Then he took the trooper's carbine In his own hands. The soft patter of the shoeless hoofs of Granadlan ponies was unmistakable. ."We're t-trapped," he said, bluntly. "It's sure trouble for us t-to turn and go back. You've got to take a chance on that Incline! I'll s-stay here and shunt 'era off. If they k-ketch me, all the better for you." He Indicated a blanket and a pup-tent la the troop er's outfit on the horse. "You'll git good and warm wrapped up In them things." She laid a small, icy hand In his warm one. "The belt?" she Interro gated. "Will you give It to me?" (END Or FIFTH EPISODE.) With the Fingers !
