WHERE CHEWING GUM GROWS In the Tropical Jungles of Campeehe, In Yucatan, the Precious Chicle Is Found. ' What the chiclero. or chicle guther er, goes throiiKh to bring it from the forests of Yucatan, its home, Is vividly told by the United States consul at rrogreso. I'rimitlve mul Inhortous is the task of winning the chicle from the trrtplcal jungles of Campeehe. It was an American who discovered that this could be mnde Into a satisfying chew ing gum. Chicle Is gathered much as sap la from maple trees in the North. The chiclero has to groove the bark, and lie ascends and descends the tall trunks by means of a rope looped about his body and around the tree, progressing by hitches In the aboriginal manner as he wields his machete. The trees are tapped and drained for three succes sive years and then left alone for about tea years so that they may heal.' The sap is cooked and molded Into blocks. It Is gloomy work for the chiclero. Out at his fiir-off hut. He Is apt to be t, melandtuly man and his calling has Its own particular superstitions, some of them fearful. Most dangerous Is the belief in "the little old man of the forest" This Is a mischievous phan tom In a large Mexican hat and serape. who watches and follows his victim In the darkness of the deep forest and makes his presence known by snap ping twigs. Once a chiclero has seen this little old man It Is necessary to change bis work to keep him from be coming depressed and to avoid the fatal accident which would result should be cut his rone upon hearing and suddenly turning to fuce his pur suer. !

The Low German di vision Is so called ' because It was composed of the Teutons living In the lowlands aud along the shore of the Baltic sea.

They were kicking against the wood and pound ing with fists, seeking to break in the lock. The sight sobered me. brought back my self-control and I threw Die door open and faced them almost cool ly. There were four policemen,' the first a gruy-mustttehed sergeant, re volver In hand, and behind these a Jam of excited Individuals of both sexes, peering over shoulders to gain view within. The sergeant gripped me by the collar. "Now, you; what's up here? Have you killed somebody?" "No," I answered, making no effort to break away, still breathing hard, but able to express myself clearly. "There Is a man dead, but he fell from a window. I have nothing to conceal, sergeant. My name Is Severn, and I am connected with the Fulled States consular service. Give me a chance and I'll hand you my card." He must have been Impressed by the way I acted and spoke, for he released his grasp and accepted the card I fished out of a vest pocket, holding It up to the light In order, to read the script. "Philip Severn." he repeated slowly, his glance wandering again to my face. "You nre u friend of Clement Brecken rldge Is that right T "Why, yes," In surprise. "1 have known him for some years." "I thought so; I don't forget a fuce often, but never heard your name be fore. I was waiting at the bank to sec Breekenridge a few days ago, when he came out with you from his private office. He seemed very friendly. Well, now, Mr. Severn, what's been takln' place In here? Some hot fight, hain't there?" His tone was friendly enough, and It wns quite evident thnt my acquaint ance with the banker had already given, me a new standing. "This Is the end of the Alva murder and robbery," I said directly; "one of the men Is dead, the other lies In there senseless, while the money they were after Is there also In a valise untouched." "Good God! What money?" "So you didn't know about that, even! Well, I'll tell you. Captuln Alva was killed to gain possession of a large sum which had been paid him for revolutionary purposes in Chile. These fellows inside found out about such a payment having been made and waylaid him. They hud to kill him In order.to get the money." "Who did It?" "I am not quite sure, sergeant, but I think Caspar Wine committed tlte murder. He plunged from a window and Is lying dead down below there. The other fellow Is still alive .and was going to share In the spoils. You know him, I guess, a Russian Jew by the name of Waldron." "Ivan Waldron, the Red orator?" "That's the mnn. I'll tell you the story briefly ; all that needs to be told now. I had reason to suspect these two and hid in that closet, where I could overhear them discussing a divi sion of the spoils. The two quarreled, during which Wine wns forced out through the window. Then I got the best of Waldron, just as you fellows tried to breuk In." The sergeant looked about, plainly puzzled., "I guess your word ought to be good, Mr. Severn," he admitted. "Seeln' as who you are. You live in Wash ington?" "Yes officially; my home Is In Ohio.". "Where ycr stopping here?" " I told him, naming the hotel at which I was registered. "All right, then. I'll look around a bit; Morris, run down and call the patrol; have 'em get that body down out of there first when they come; Kelly, you stay here, with Halsey at the door." I followed him and the fourth officer Into the Inner office. It was a wreck, hut the sergeant took the scene In at a glance and picked his way across to the shattered window. The policeman bent over the outstretched figure of Waldron. "How Is the cuss, Carr?" "Alive, all right, but got a h 1 of a crack on the coco." "Give him a glass of water In the fuce. Is this the grip you was telling me about, Mr. Severn?" "Yes; It's locked, but supposed to he full of yellowbacks." He pulled It forth from beneath the grasp of Wuldron's arm. "All right; I'll see It snfe out o' here. I guess you'll have to go along with us, Mr. Severn; the captain wUI likely want ter ask some questions." CHAPTER XV. Ths Private Secretary. I told my story to the captuln much "nre In detail, and Hreckenrldee bejtig 1 I MS. AUTHOR Of . THE JTXANffS ClSBfCAVSNDISS If I lT T AT- IAMW 1LLUJ IKrtl fry a Arret i RANDALL PAftttlSH found, stood sponsor for my Identity, so that I was not detained. The next morning 1 testitled before the coroner's Jury over the crushed body of Wine, and Inter appeared In the room of the gvnnd Jury which Indicted Waldron Ou both these occasions I told enough to make matters reasonably clear, yet carefully avoided any direct mention of Miss Gessler. No doubt her name would be brought Into the case Inter, hut I was determined It should not he Introduced through any Indlsere 'ton on my part. Krnnu's name wn used, but only Indirectly, and the Im pression wns left tipon me thnt In fluence was being brought to bear to shield the banker from any direct connection with the crime. I knew that when tho time enme for trial I could scarcely hope to escape thus easily. Under cross-examination by the defendant's attorney, the whole uffnlr would be probed to the very bottom, and I should be compelled to disclose every bit of In formutlon 1 possessed. In the mean while I must discover the girl, and leuru from her own Hps, It possible. Just how deeply she was Involved. Then, and then only, could I decide upon my own future course. Hut how was I to locate her? I hud nothing to guide me lu the search. There were only two people to whom I could turn for even a suggestion Krauts, the bunker, and Surah Waldron. I doubted if either would reveal the truth, but I could use the threat of exposure against Krantz, and might thus terrorize lilm Into revealing the truth. I decided that If the girl did not call me by phone before noon the next day I would certainly exhaust every effort to tlml her. She would assuredly learn by thnt time what had occurred, but, whether she so desired or not, I was not willing to let her drop out of my life. I would learn, at least, whatever Adolph Krantz knew uhout her. The hours dragged away bringing no message, the silence merely strengthening my resolution uud In creasing my Interest. After a lonely lunch, In which her face seemed ever I before me, I took a taxi and drove direct to the bank. I crossed the marble-floored lobby and approached a desk rather doubtfully. A middle aged mnn glanced up from his work, and listened quietly to my question, examining my curd attentively. "Ah, yes. United States consular service I see. I regret to suy that Mr. Adolph Krantz is not in the hunk today. In fuct he is out of town, possibly for a week. Yes, he left rather suddenly for Washington. I'er hups you might talk with his secre tary." I hesitated, yet almost as quickly decided to see what might develop. "I will if you please, for Just a moment." "Very good, sir. The third door down thnt corridor to the left. You J will find it ajar, I think; walk right j in." I proceeded as he directed, the glass partitions of the hank on one side, the other divided Into small private of fices, tile equipment plainly hanilsotne. The third door stood partly open, giv ing me a glimpse within before I ventured to enter. The pluce had far more the appearance of a private li brary than a downtown business of fice. A woman wns bending over the further desk, busied at some work. With heart beating somewhat faster I ventured to open the door sufficient ly wide to enter. There wns no one else present, but her head Instantly lifted, and she rose to her feet, with a quick smile, and outstretched hand, coming directly to ward me. "Mr. I'hlllp Severn, at last," she ex claimed pleasantly. "My faith Is re warded." "Your fnlth," I echoed, rallying from my surprise at this greeting. "Then you were expecting me?" "I have never felt a very serious doubt. Does that sound odd? Let me close the door, and then we will sit down nnd-tnlk. I .am never dis turbed when the door Is shut. Here Is the best pluce. Yes, Mr. Severn, I was certain curiosity would cutise you to seek me, even If there was no other motive. I did not phone, so you came here." "I had hut two choices to seek In formation either through Adolph Krnntz or Sarah Wnldron. I chose to try Krantz first." "And you really had no suspicion I was to be found here?" "None whatever. Why should I? Not even yet do I know whom I am speaking with." "Oh. yes, you do Marie Gessler, revolutionist, messenger to the Chilean Junta." She laughed, her eyes spark ling. "Does not that sntlsfy?" "Far from It ; I believe I am en titled to even Qutci" "In. Veil you nre. I have tho honor of being also private secretary to Mr. Adolph KrniiU, Now, what next?" "Well, when he writes you a check what inline does ho make it payable to?" "Let me see; did yon ever know any one culled Tom Longdate?" "Hid II Why, great Scott! you can not mean that you are aetimlly Helen? It Is not ivosslble." "(Hi, yes, It Is; little girls grow up, yon know. And now If you will be very good and quiet I am going to tell you Just how It all happened, What led me to become a desperate conspirator, aud well, yes-a famous detective. Aro you alt ready for my confession?" She rested her hand ou mine, and permitted my lingers to close over It, In n spirit of frank good fellowship. "1 hen listen ; It may make you similiter In some of Its blood curdling details, anil possibly yon may con slder my actions very unwomanly. Now Just be quiet until I finish." Her eyes met initio earnestly, but 1 felt I could perceive a certain plead ing In her depths. "1 tun Tom Longdate' sister Helen, As you doubtless know, financially there Is no necessity for my seeking employment. Indeed I did not seek it, but was Induced to accept this po sition tit the request of Mr. Krauts, who has been n lifelong friend of my father's. I enjoy tho work, however, mid have been here now nearly three years. Adolph Krauts Is n most lov able man. and I um devoted to his service. He Is an Austrian by birth, and has found It more or less dllllcult to get nuuy from that Influence, Much money from Kuropo passes through his hands In financing various schemes, and among others this revolutionary fund was intrusted to him. At first he accepted this lu the ordinary course of business, without susplclonlng Its purpose, but later learned how the money was being expended. The mo ment he became doubtful, Mr. Krauts absolutely . severed all connections with these plotters ami their schemes. While this was thoroughly understood olllclnlly, In Washington, where ho re ported his suspicion, certain circles, engaged III underhand work, still be lieved he could lie used for their pur poses." "Yet he accepted the trust?" "In a way, yes; but with perfectly loyal Intent. As soon as word se cretly reached him that he was to be thus used, he laid the full facts before tho olllcluls of this lunik. 1 wns present as his secretary, uud learned then for the llrst tliuu what I have' already told you. They ad vised that he make the plot known Immediately to the authorities ut Washington, llu wus directed to ac cept the order, nnd thus, through seeming co-operation, leiim the details connected with It. There was delay ; for some reason Alvu was not quite ready to go aheatl, uud refused to draw Ilia money. I'roof of conspiracy wns lack ing until this was consummated. Mr. Krantz, being afraid that ho would he followed If he went again to Wash. Iiiglon, delegated me to go, as I wus entirely unknown. The Secret Serv ice there outlined a plan designed to hurry mutters. I was to be sent di rect to these men Alva, In particular with positive. Instructions from the higher powers in Washington to draw the money and get busy. As I speak Spanish easily, anil took the mime of u well-known female revolution. 1st now in this country, but unknown even to Alvu, the tusk did not seem ii specially dangerous one." She passed for a moment, tier mind gathering up the odds and ends of iiurrutlve. "It Is not necessary that I go fur ther Into detail. 1 met Captain Alva us planned, and was taken to the place where his gang gathered. Krantz was time with the money, and my message compelled the Chilean to ac cept, noil receipt for it. Government agents were stationed in Jersey City to Intercept Mm on Ills way back to New York. He never got far enough to full Into their hands; before lie had driven four blocks he was mur dered and robbed. The rest of the story you already know." "The money was actually In that valise, then?" "Some money wus, but not all. We were afraid It might he opened be fore nn arrest could be math!, r.t. li package had real money on the out side; altogether the amount did not exceed fifteen hundred dollars, aud these bills were all marked." "But you suspected Wine? I know of your cull at his office." "I wondered If you did. Were you there then ?" "Yes, I followed you In." "I wish I hud known ; I would have ventured more than I dared to alone. I suspected yes; but thnt was all. I possessed no facts, but 1 frightened him so when I exhibited that hut-pin I felt absolutely convinced that he was guilty." "You hud no reason to believe lie possessed such p weapon?" "None whatever; I merely took a chance. I think now the pin used he longed to Siinih Waldron, but how It enme there can (inly he determined through a confession by her husband." In r eyes lifted ngnln to mine, ques tlnnlngly, nnd a bit anxious. "Wns my course right or wrong, Philip Severn?" "Undouhledly right, although I Im agine few girls would have had tho courage." "You believe In me still? In the woman?" My hnndcliiip tightened, and her eyed dropped before Hie message she i""t hjivu luatuut'i- roji!l In. mine. 1 Wltniisjiiinininr(inini i 8he Old Not Move, or Qlanc Uo. "This has been a test of us both which wo will never regret," I an swcicd soberly, "for It has brotirht full Ii. hope, love; Is this not true?" She did not move, or g In nee up, but I caught the whispered response of her lips. (THE END.) KI'.MMOXS IV TIIK UIKTIT COI'KT OH TIIK HTATK OK Oil KG!
