There was nothing 1 could do to avert discovery, no phuv In which I could crouch In hiding. The newcomer moved swiftly, knowing his way through the darkness, and I had scarcely oppor tunity to oven glance backward when ho rounded the corner nnd humped In to me. "What the h II V lie exclaimed, startle.) nt the encounter. "Why. d n It, Chariot!, what are you slouching here for? Tou're Chntlelt. ain't ou?" "Yes," I muttered, the assent actually frightened out of nie; then added tamely, "I couldn't remember the sig nal." The fellow Intuited softly, releasing , his grip on my coat. "If you attended more meeting you'd he letter perfect." he said, hi English without on accent. "Where have you been the last month out of town?" "In Washington." I ventured, pray ing the swift answer might sutllce. "Oh, I see." more heartily. "So you were the one Alvn sent? Did the wom an come hack with you?" The womnn! Who could he mean but the same girl who had been wait ing In the saloon? I had ventured al ready too far to draw back: I must take yet another chance, an answer. "Not with me; that would be too risky. She Is here, though." "Good enough. That means money. Let's go In." He pushed past, and I followed, to tally unable to determine In my own mind what to do. The fellow In the darkness evidently mistook me for some one of the ptng. His confidence In my Identity ns Clinrlett might win me entrance but whnt then? That I was not Cl'.arlett would certainly be e vealed by the first gleam of light, and I would be helpless. I was alone, un nrmed, and these fellows, beyond ques tion, were engaged In a desperate game. I am sure I should never have ventured It had not my companion suddenly turned and grasped my sleeve. "You saw Mender, of course?" "Sure." "And he vouched for her; he says she Is all right?" "He chose her; that ought to be enough." "II 11, I suppose so, but even Men. dez lias made mistakes. Here's the door." He rappod lightly, his fingers still gripping my sleeve In n grasp of friend ship. I could have broken nway. nnd ran for It, but something mysterious held tne, some odd fascination of dan ger. I saw nothing, beard nothing, yet hnd an Instinctive feeling that a nar row wicket had opened In the door, through which our dim outlines were being scrutinized. I held my breath expectantly. "Who Is there?" the voice was a mere whisper, so c!oc as to startle me. "Gaspnr Wine," was the answer, in the same low tone, "1C3." "What word?" "Cervantes." "But there are two of you." "Oh, this Is one of us. It's all right, Junn; I'll vouch for him." The fellow Inside grumbled some thing In Indistinguishable Spanish, but opened the door silently, just far enough for us to slip through one nt a time. I felt Wine press past me, and was aware that the guard closed and barred the door, but could see nothing; not even my own hand before my eyes. A latch clicked softly, and a dim ray of light broke In upon us from n revealed passage beyond. It was so fnlnt as to scarcely render features vis ible, and, as my coat collar was still upturned, I pressed forward close be hind Wine without discovery, 1 could perceive something of the fellow now. a rather squat figure, concealed by n long, shapeless raincoat, wearing a closely trimmed beard, and horn spec tacles. Ills features were elearly for eign, yet failed to bespeak the lighting type. I placed him uh a theorist, a professor, perhaps, In some small col legs. Hut my thoughts were not so occu pied with my guide as with the prob lem of bow I was to escape from him. I dare not go on Into the presence of others, where discovery that I wus not Charlett would be Immediate. At nny cost I must avoid such exposure but how? The ptaco In which we were gave mo little Inspiration, li was a low passage-way, Inclosed by rough board walls, Instantly driving home upon me the Impression that It had been constructed for tho very purpose for which It was now being utilized a secret entrance to prevent any gleam of light from being seen without. This precaution, coupled with tho tightly boarded jiassngc-j left tho whole build- OFTHE " ' A IV AUT HOR or it 2HZ JTRMGZ CASS CAVENDISH T t i irfi'i inltMt r tuLUO ictwi iuiio -WEIL RANDALL PARRI3H I Could Perceive Something of the Fel low Now.

Thl was evidently no common, vulgnr band of schemers, but men with n dentills purpose In view, which they were en. gaged In carrying out with true secret efllclcticy. They were plotting revolu tion. Only n strange chance had given me the clew, nnd only a reckless per sistency bad opened a way before me. Now my life was no longer my own; It belonged to my country. I must lite to. expose thoe men. Hut how7 My henrt failed me ns I stared about nt the bare walls, and forward to where a heavy curtain draped the end of the passage. This widened n we ndvnnced, so as to form whnt evidently hnd been designed ns n cloakroom. Wine stopped nnd removed his coat, appropriating nn unoccupied nail, nnd I followed bis example, rejoicing to nl serve that he still remained so confi dent of my Identity as to not once glance nround In my direction The fellow seemed obsessed with some spe cial desire, for he swept his eyes over the swinging garments, nnd exclaimed: "Not half of them here yet. I want n word with Alvn before the show opens, Charlett. so yon hotter go right on In. Sec you Inter." He pressed something In the slde wall, sliding back n panel, and disap peared, tho rough boards returning In stantly Into place. I was left alone, stnring at the spot where he had dis appeared. Ileyond doubt the entrance awaiting me lay straight nhead. con cealed by the hanging curtain. I stepped cautiously forward, listening for some guiding sound from beyond thnt bnrrler, afraid to draw It aside nnd tnkc n blind plunge Into tho un known. I could detect the murmur of voices, several of them speaking Span ish, yet In such low tones I could dis tinguish only an occasional empha sized word. There was no door be tween us; only thnt thick, hnnglng cur tain, and I ventured fnr enough to draw this nsldo sufficient to peer through with one eye. lteynnd was a reasonably large room, but so dimly lighted as to be scarcely visible from end to end. I could discern men pres ent, n number of them, lounging about on chairs, their outlines being fairly revealed, but tho light wns not sudl clent to give mo nny Impression of their faces. It seemed quite possible that I might slip in unobserved, and pass among them unrecognized except through accident. Hut the risk of dis covery was too great. I must find some other point of entrance. The private doorway through which Wine hnd disappeared gave me the thought that there might also be oth ers. I dare not follow after him, but If there wns another opening to bo found I was perfectly willing to ox plorp Into Its mysteries. The search wns brief, yet the very nature of tho rough hoard wnll made concealment Impossible. Hehliiil the dangling conts I uncovered' whnt I sought, unit not n moment too noon. Even as my hntid touched tliu exposed lutch, a murmur of voices In tho outer entry lenchetl my cars there were new arrivals be ing questioned, and admitted. The panel slid Illicit silently In lt grooves, nnd I peered through the to veuled opening Into absolute darkness. All I could be sure of, ns exhibited hy the dim light of the passage, was u single step downward, and then ap parently u strip of earth door, I dare not wait mid meet thoso entering; there was but one choice of action, 1 pressed through tho orifice, forced the panel hack Into place, and stood erect In the Intense darkness nnil silence, listening for tho slightest sound, I wus still motionless, my heart hcnjlug fiercely, whoh several men en tered the passage I had Just left. Pressing my ear against the thin crack I distinguished words so as to piece together scraps of conversation. It seemed to tun there were three voices one speaking Spanish entirely, the others using English, One of the lat ter spoke llrst, "TIs a dirty night out, but good for our purpose. You emtio by motor, Alonzo?" "No. Wine said that was too risky. I walked from the car line. What's up? Po you know, Cnptnln?" The fellow nddrcsscd exploded In Spanish. "Why you call inn thnt? I tell you my name I" "It's safe enough In here, hut I'll ho careful outside. What wns this meet ing called for?" "It was a message from Washing ton, orders maybe, that wu act soon, I hope It." "From Washington? Is Memlez hero?" "Saprlstn, not Can he move with out n dozen spies nt his heels? lie Hint a messenger no olio ever suspect. Slut bring the word." "She? A woman?" "Sure I that was better. No or.o know her; no one ever see her with our people. It wns a good trick, nnd It fool the pigs." "Hut who Is the womnn?" Tho other tittered a gruff exclama tion of disgust, "If I know, you suppose I tell? Not much, but 1 do not know. They trust her Is It not enough? TIs my guess she come special for ro do this." "She Is n Chilean then?" "Maybe; nut) bo American, Spanish. Whnt difference If sho be In our serv ice? They know what she Is; tonight she Is Marie dossier It has the sound of Switzerland. Heyond this I enre nothing." "Hut you have, seen her, perhaps?" "Not n sight; none of the boj have. She wns to meet Alvn nt Times square this noon. I wont with him, but no girl Just n messenger hoy there with n note lu rode. Something hnd fright ened the lady, nnd she made a night appointment over hero." "Here I How did sho know the way out?" "Sho didn't, for tho matter of that; Hut "he hud been piped off on .Inns' place, and agreed to lie there as soon as It was dark. I'm wondering If she showed up; let's go In and see." The three moved off down tho pas sage, still conversing In subdued tones, the sharp accent of the Spaniard most prominent, nnd I became acutely nwnro of tho black silence In which I stood. There was no occslon for me to risk my life fnrtber In nn effort to lonrn more. I had located tho secret rendexwm of this gang of revolu tionary plotter. I wns nwiiru of their connection with the Chilean Junta nt Washington, mid It would he n com paratively easy matter now to capture them red-handed. I saw therefore nn reason why I should venture further, or endeavor to learn In detail the na ture of this message Intrusted to the girl for delivery. My duty now was to report what I had discovered, when the prompt nrrest of Alvn, and a few others, would end the wholo scheme. It seemed stmplu enough. If I could only find my wny out snfely. Hut escnM' unobserved wns far from being assured, Any retreat by wny of the lighted passage was Impossible; there were guards thorn at both ends; the only hopo lay In u blind effort for wurd. I nccepted the only course possible, nnd began to feel my way to the left, skirting the wall of rough boarding, until It widened out Into whnt was ap parently the Inrger room beyond, No sound reached mo from nny direction, the silence nnd darkness oppressing me, ns though they hud weight. Yet one fuct becamu more nnd more clear tho deliberate purpose with which this deserted Iron factory hint been prepared for a secret rendezvous. Apparently, from without, It stood grim, desolate nnd deserted, jet the Interior arrangements were such that conspirators could meet securely In side, protected from observation, In rooms through whoso walls no gleam of light might lie visible from either street or ulley. Only un accident, or constant vigilance without, could re veal the true use to which Jho building was now being devoted. This knowl edge rendered the peril of my own po sition the more Intense. I could be killed, murdered, nnd no man would ever be the wiser, I would simply dis appear, vanish, and tliul would be the end. At that moment I hnd nn thought hut tn dlscovur some means of escape. The knowledge of - the danger I was In robbed me of nil courage, I was like n child uftiild lu tint dark. I moved forward, Inch by Inch, feeling my wny along tlio rough planking with fine band, my llmlis actually trembling un der me. If I could only llnd hoiiici opening; see some gleiim of light; break nwny from this terrlblu silent darkness, I supposed I wus moving with the ut most caution, every nerve on edge, feeling u wuy forwurd with hands and feet. Once 1 stepped upon a shell of some kind which crunched beneath the. weight, anil again my groping hand dislodged n small block of wood, which fll with a slight clutter. I bulled both times, my heart In my mouth, yet nothing happened, mid 1 moved for ward Ufa In confident of not being over heard. I could not have lold what It wns that halted me. I remember I slopped as though shot, my very breath sus pended, one foot still uplifted In a step forward, my eyes staring helplessly Into the black void. The silence wns that of a tomb. I could feel the porspl rut Ion How down my face In a stream; It wim an Instant of torture. Then nit unseen hand gripped tun mid an eleclrlu Hash. light glared-Into my eyes. (To Ho Continued.)
