At the expense of a soiled liat Herbert Orme saves from arrest a slrl in a black touring car who has caused a tralllc jam on State street. He buys a new hat and is given a live dollar bill with: "Remem ber the person you pay this to." written on It. A second time he helps the girl in the black car and learns that in Tom and Bessie 'Walllngham they have mutual friends, but gets no further hint of her Identity. He discovers another inscrip tion on the marked bill, which in a futile attempt to decipher it. he copies and places the copy in a drawer in his apart ment. Senor Poritol. South American, calls and claims the marked bill. Orme refuses, and a light ensues in which Pori tol is overcome. He calls in Senor Al catrante, minister from his country, to vouch for him. Orme still refuses to give up the bill. He learns that a Jap has called for him. Orme goes for a walk and sees two Japs attack Alcatrante. CHAPTER III. Continued. Orme leaped forward and swung his cane. The stick was tough and the blow -was hard enough to send a man to earth, but the robber had heard Orme's approach, and looked up from his victim just in time. With a mo tion Indescribably swift, he caught with one hand the descending cane and wrenched it from Orme's grasp. Then he crouched to spring. At this instant Orme h .-rd footsteps behind him. A turn of the head showed a threatening figure at his back. There had been four men in that procession through the park! By a quick leap to one side, Orme placed himself for the moment out of danger. His two assailants, moving too fast to stop, bumped together. They faced about for another spring at him. And then there was a short scratching sound, and In the hand of tho man on the ground flared a match. "Ha!" exclaimed the prostrate Al catrante, "I thought so!" Orme found himself looking into the contorted faces of two Japanese. Discovery was evidently the last thing the hold-up men desired, for they disappeared like a flash, diving through the shrubbery behind them. Orme, dazed and breathing hard, at tempted no immediate pursuit He stepped quickly to Alcatrante and helped him to his feet. "I am not hurt," said the South American. "When the man threw me to the ground, I feigned that I was stunned. It is wiser not to resist a thug, is it not so?" He brushed tho dust from his clothing with his hand kerchief. Orme handed him his hat, which had rolled to one side. The minister rubbed it carefully with his. coat sleeve. "See," he laughed, nod ding at the ground, "my cane is broken. I must "have fallen on it" "Since yoirre not hurt," said Orme, "we'd better get after the thieves." "Bah!" replied Alcatrante. "What is the use? They are already far away and they got nothing." He laughed. "Is it not always better to avoid no toriety, Mr. Orme?" "As a rule, no doubt but in this in stance " "No," said Alcatrante, firmly, "I really must insist that wo let the mat ter drop. As for me, I shall return to my hotel. Perhaps you will walk along with me." Orme hesitated. "I don't like those thieves to get off without a chase, senor." "But, my dear Mr. Orme, they did me no harm." Orme shrugged his shoulders. "You forget that there was one after me as well as one after you." "No, I don't forget that. But don't you see, Mr. Orme? These two men were not after our valuables." "Indeed?" "Not at all. What they would like Is my little friend Poritol's secret." "But why Japanese?" Orme was puzzled. "Why, Indeed? A cunning Japanese might as easily have got wind of it as anyone else." "But why did you say, 'I thought eo?'" persisted Orme. "Did I say that? It must have been because I suspected that only a Jap anese could be so agile as my assail ant But all this is immaterial. I should have warned you that Poritol's secret is dangerous. You should not have left your apartments." "Well, this certainly is a queer ket tle of fish," muttered Orme. He was beginning to feel disgusted with the situation. He did not like Alcatrante's oily smoothness, and he wondered whether it would not have beca better to hand the bill over to Poritol at the first demand. But it came to his mind that in a certain degree he stood committed to continue the policy he had adopted. He had sought adven ture; it was coming to him in full measure. Together they walked back toward the park entrance. The minister seemingly exerted himself to regain the ground ha had lost with Orme. He A Popular Woman Editor A New York lawyer, a Montreal 1 physician and a retired merchant liv ing in Brooklyn have written Mrs. Lindenstruth, editor and publisher of the Passaic (N. J.) Wochenblatt, a German weekly newspaper, asking for her hand in marriage. The proposals are the result of a newspaper story telling of Mrs. Lin dentruth's application for naturaliza tion. She is the first woman in New GIRL -BILL proved an interesting conversation alist keen, slightly cynical, but not without an undernote of earnestness. "You have seen me much abused by ycur press, Mr. Orme." he said. "That is natural. I have the interests of my own country to protect and those interests are of necessity some times opposed to the interests of oth er countries. But if your people would be even more patient with us all we need is time. There is reason for our persistent tomorrow; for we are young, and it is a slow process to realize on our resources. That is why we do not pay our debts more promptly." Ormesaid nothing, but thought of looted South American treasuries, of exiled presidents squandering their official stealing at Paris and Monte Carlo, of concessions sold and sold again to rival foreign companies. They had now reached the park en trance. "There is a cab," said Al catrante. "You will ride with me as far as your hotel?" "Thank you, no," said Orme. "I rather need the walk." Alcartrante smiled persuasively. "Permit me to urge you. If you should be robbed, my little friend might lose his'precious secret Poor boy!" he added. "His father was my friend, and I cannot refuse him a service." The cab had swung around to the curb beside them. Orme had no fear of robbery on the lighted drive, but since Alcatrante was so insistent he felt inclined to jield. He might as well ride; so he permitted the min ister to bow him into the cab, and presently they were whirling along southward. There was a period of silence. Then Alcatrante spoke medi tatively. "You see how it happened, I sup pose." he -said. " Those Japanese were waiting outside your hotel. When Poritol and I came out one of them followed us, while the other remained on guard. Then you started on your stroll, and the man who remained on guard set out after you." "Yes," said Orme, "but I don't see how the fellow could have known who I was." Alcatrante laughed. "Oh, he could have placed you in a number of differ ent ways. He may have got your de scription from one of the servants or from the clerk. But it is enough that he did know you." "Well," said Orme, "this is beyond me. That five-dollar bill seems to be very much desired by different groups of persons." Alcatrante nodded. "I am not sure," he said slowly, "but that it would ease young Poritol's mind if you would place the bill in my hands for safekeeping. Not that he mis trusts you, Mr. Orme, but he Imagines that you may not realize how im portant it is to him, and you might not guard it carefully." "I agreed to keep it until tomor row," said Orme, quietly. "As for thieves, my apartment is on the tenth floor, pretty well out of their reach. The only danger of robbery lies be tween the cab and the hotel office." "I know, I know," chuckled Alca trante. "It is, of course, as you will. I was merely thinking of my young friend's peace of mind. I am his fel low countryman, you see, and his con fidence in me " he stopped, with an other chuckle. "Singular, is it not how impressionable are the young?" Orme said nothing. He did not en joy this fencing. "Look at the lake," Alcatrante sud denly exclaimed. "How beautiful an expanse of water. It has so much more color than the sea. But you should see our wonderful harbor of Rio, Mr. Orme. Perhaps some day I shall be permitted to show you its magnificences." "Who knows?" said Orme. "It would be very pleasant" "As to the bill," continued Alca trante quickly, "do you care to give it to me?" Orme felt himself frowning. "I will keep it till the morning," he said. "Oh, well, it is of no consequence." Alcatrante laughed shortly. "See, here is your hotel. Your company has been a pleasure to me, Mr. Orme. You arrived most opportunely in the park." Orme jumped to the curb and, turn ing, shook the hand that was extended to him. "Thank you for the lift Se nor Alcatrante," he said. "I shall look for you in the morning." "In the morningyes. And pray, my dear sir, do not wander in the streets any more this evening. Our experience in the park has made me apprehensive." The minister lifted his hat and the cab rattled away. The entrance to the Pere Marquette was a massive gateway, which opened upon a wide tunnel, leadiug to an in Jersey to ask for citizenship under the law of 190G, which gives the widow or children of any man who has filed his declaration of intention, the right to become naturalized without them selves filing declaration. She is the widow of Moritz Lindenstruth, who declared his intention of becoming a citizen in 1904, and will receive her final papers next May. Mrs. Lindenstruth says she will terior court On the farther side of the court were the doors of the hotel lobby. As a rule, carriages .drove through the tunnel into the court, but Orme had not waited for this for mality. He started through the tunnel. There was no one in sight- He noted the elaborate terra-cotta decorations of the walls, and marveled at the bad taste which had lost sight of this op portunity for artistic simplicity. But through the opening before him he could see the fountain playing in the center of the court The central fig ure of the group, a naiad, beckoned with a band from which the water fell in a shower. The effect was not so unpleasing. If one wished to be rococo, why not be altogether so? Like the South Americans? Was their elaborate ornamentation plastered on to an inner steel construction? Orme wondered. Midway of the tunnel, and at the right as one entered, was a door lead ing into the porter's office. This door was shut but as Orme approached it it noiselessly opened out He ex pected to see a porter appear, and when no person stepped over the sill, he inferred that the door had been blown open by an interior draft Just as he was turning out to go around the door which shut off all view of him from the inner court a figure shot through the opening. Before Orme could dodge, he was seized firmly by the shoulders and jerked into the room, with a force that sent him staggering. He tripped over a chair and went to the floor, but quickly scrambled to his feet and wheeled about Two men stood between him and the door, which had been closed si lently and swiftly. They were short "I, Too? Has Anybody Else ?" and Etockily built Orme exclaimed aloud, for the light that filtered through a window from the street showed two faces unmistakably ori ental. If this was an ordinary robbery, the daring of the robbers was almost in credible. They ran the risk that the porter would return if they had not already made away with him. Only the most desperate purpose could ex plain their action. "What do you want?" demanded Orme. "Your pocket book," replied one of the men "queek!" He smiled an elusive smile as he spoke. "What If I refuse?" said Orme. "Then we take. Be queek." A call for help would hardly bring anyone; but Orme gave a loud cry, more to disconcert his enemies than with any hope of rescue. At the same Instant he rushed to ward the door, and struck out at the nearer Japanese. The blow did not land. His wrist was caught in a grip like an iron clamp, and he found himself perform ing queer gyrations. The Japanese had turned his back toward Orme and swung the imprisoned arm over his shoulder. A quick lurch forward, and Orme sailed through tho air, coming down heavily on his side. His arm was still held, and in a few seconds he was on his back, his assailants astride him and smiling down into his face. Orme struggled to free himself, and promptls- felt a breaking strain on his imprisoned arm. The knee of the Japanese was under the back of Orme's elbow. A moderate use of the leverage thus obtained would snap the arm like a pipe stem. This Orme realized, as he ceased struggling. The strain on his arm relaxed slightly, but the grip was maintained. "Jiu-jitsu," explained the Japanese in a tone that sounded gently apolo getic. The other robber now stooped and ran his hands over Orme's coat Find lag the pocket book, he took it from meet the two New York admirers, but will pay no attention to the Montreal doctor. She declares she will never marry any but a wealthy man. "While I am alone," she declared, "I am boss, but Jf married I would not be." Reasonable Supposition. "This college paper describes John as having black eyes, when his eyes are in reality a light blue." "Perhaps they were black at the time the article was being prepared." its inside pocket and went swiftly to the table. He produced from his own pocket a little electric hand lamp, by the light of which he took rapid count of Orme's money. His eyes glittered; a wide scar on his forehead stood out whltely Sud denly he gave a little cry and held up a single bill. He jabbered excitedly to his companion for a moment, then spoke quietly to Orme. "This all we want," he said. "We are not thief, see I put other five dollar bill la its place and leave pocket book here." He thrust the selected bill Into his pocket put the fresh bill in the pocket book, and laid the pocket book on the table. "See here," said Orme, still prone, "what's the meaning of all this?" "Don't say." The Japanese smiled. He went over to the door. "Come," he said. The man astride Orme re leased his hold and sprang to his feet Like a flash, both the Japanese disap peared. Orme jumped up. Seizing his pocket book and his hat, he darted after his assailants. At the street en janco to the tunnel, he looked quick ly In both directions, but his men were not in sight Pursuit was futile. Slowly he turned back. He thought of notifying the police, but, after all, he was none the worse off except for his promise to Poritol and Alcatrante, now involun tarily broken. Ho must explain to them as best he could. The marked bill had been of no1 consequence to him except as a focus of adventure. And he had had about as much adven ture as he could expect for one eve ning. But the secret of the bill still -tanta- lized him. Blindfolded, he had played in a game at which the others saw. It seemed unfair as if he had some right to know the meaning of all these mysterious incidents. Why had Po ritol wanted the bill so badly? Why had the desire to possess it driven the two Japanese to such extreme meas ures? Orme crossed the court and entered the lobby. The clerk looked at him curiously. "Mr. Orme," he said, "there is a young lady in the reception room, waiting to see you." "Me?" Orme looked his surprise. "Yes, sir. She gave no name." "Has she been waiting long?" "Nearly an hour." Without further questioning, Orme turned to the door of the little green-and-gold room. At the threshold he paused in bewilderment! Arising to meet him, smiling frankly, was the girl of the car. CHAPTER IV. The Girl of the Car. "Oh," she said, with a little gasp of recognition, "are you Mr. Orme?" Her cheeks flushed softly. He bowed; his heart was beating furiously, and for tho moment he dared not try to speak. "Then we do meet again," she ex claimed, "and as usual I need your help. Isn't it queer?" "Any service that I " Orme began haltingly " of course, anything that I can do " The girl laughed, a merry ripple of sound; then caught herself and changed her manner to grave earnest ness. "It is very important," she said. "I am looking for a five-dollar bill that was paid to you today." Orme started. "What? lYou. too?" "I, too? Has has anybody else ?" Her gravity was more intense. "Why. yes," said Orme "a little man from South America." "Oh Mr. Poritol?" Her brows were knit in an adorable frown. "Yes and two Japanese." False Teeth It is an iconoclastis age, indeed, when a Chicago detective shakes a set of ordinary hard rubber and porcelain false teeth out of the mouth of the alleged spirit of bis grandfather at a seance. One of the chief sources of resignation to the necessity of leav ing this world for another has been the assumption that the petty ills our I cesh is heir to are to be laid aside m the transition. If the said grandfa "Oh!" Her exclamation was appre hensive. "The Japanese got It" added Orme, ruefully. That she had the right to this Information it never occurred to him to question. The girl stood rigidly. "Whatever shall I do now?" she whispered. "My poor father!" She looked helplessly at Orme. His self-possession had returned, and as he urged her to a chair, he con demned himself for not guessing how serious the loss of the bill must be to her. "Sit down," he said. "Perhaps I can help. But you see, I know so lit tle of what it all means. Tell me everything you can." With a sigh, she sank into the chair. Orme stood before her, waiting. "That bill tells, if I am not mis taken," she said, wearily, "where cer tain papers have been hidden. My fa ther is ill at our place in the country. He must have those papers before midnight tomorrow, or " Tears came into her eyes. Orme would have given much for the right to com fort her. "So much depends upon finding them," she added "more even than I can begin to tell you." "Let me help," said Orme, eager to follow those papers all over Chicago, if only it would serve her. "Hear my story first" Rapidly he recounted the adventures of the evening. She lis tened, eyes intent, nodding in recog nition of his description of Poritol and Alcatrante. When he came to the account of the fight in the porter's of fice and spoke of the Japanese with the scar on his forehead, she inter rupted. "Oh! That was Maku," she ex claimed. "Maku?" "Our butler. He must have over heard my father and me." "Then he knew the value of the pa rers?" "He must have. 'I am sorry, Mr. Orme, that you have been so roughly used." "That doesn't matter," he said. "They didn't hurt me in the least And now, what is your story? How did you get on the trail of the bill?" "We came back from the east a few days ago," she began. "My father had to undergo a slight operation, and he wished to have it performed by his friend. Dr. Allison, who lives here, so wo went to our home in one of the northern suburbs. "Father could not go back east as soon as he had expected to, and he had the papers sent to him, by spe cial arrangement with the with the other parties to the contract Mr. Poritol followed us from the east I we had known him there. He was al ways amusing company; we never took him seriously. He had business here, he said; but on the first day of his arrival he came out to call on us. The next night our house was entered by a burglar. Besides the papers, only a few things were taken." "Poritol?" exclaimed Orme, incredu lously. "It happened that a Chicago detect ive had been in our village on busi ness during the day." she went "He had recognized on tho streets a well known thief, named Walsh. When we reported the burglary the detective remembered seeing Walsh, and hunted him out and arrested him. In his pockets was some jewelry belong ing to me, and in his room the other stolen articles were found everything except the papers." "Did you tell the police about the papers?" "No, it seemed wiser not to. They were in a sealed envelope with with my father's name on :t, and would surely have been returned, if found with the other things. There are rea sons, why they would have would try to please my father. We did not let them know that an envelope contain ing scmething of value had not been recovered, and told them to make a thorough search. "The afternoon after tho burglary the news of Walsh's arrest was tele phoned out to us from Chicago. I talked with my father, who was not well enough to leave the house, and it seemed best that some one should go to the county jail and see Walsh and try to get the- papers. My father had reasons for not wishing the loss to become known. Only he and I were acquainted with the contents of the envelope; so I insisted on going to Chicago and interviewing the burglar." She laughed, intercepting Orme's admiring look. "Ob, it was easy enough. I planned to take our law yer as an escort" ""Did you?" "No, and that Is where my troubles really began. Just as I was preparing to go, Mr. Poritol called. I had for gotten that we had asked him out for an afternoon of golf. He is such a funny player. "As soon as I told him I was going to the Chicago jail to interview a burglar about some stolen goods, be insisted on acting as escort. He was so amusingly persistent that I finally agreed. We set out for the city in my car, not waiting to take a train. "When wo reached the jail I pre sented a letter which my father had written, and the officials agreed to let me have a private interview with Walsh." Orme opened his eyes. The girl's father must have considerable influ ence. "It is a horrid place, the Jail. They took us through a corridor to Walsh's cell, and called him to the grating. I made Mr. Poritol stand back at the other side of the corridor 0 that he couldn't hear us talk. "I asked the man what he had done with the papers. He Insisted that he had seen none. Then I promised to have him freed, if he would only re turn them. Ho looked meditatively over my shoulders and after a mo and Spirits ther's dentist is still living and can identify his work, we must admit that the proof of the existence of a world beyond will have received support well calculated to bring cheer to the hearts of the Society of Psychical Re search.

The gin paused and looked at Orme. "This seems like wasting min utes when we might be searching." Orme was pleased to hear, the "we." "Well." she went on, "I knew that the man was not telling the truth. He was too hesitant to be convincing. So 1 began to promise him money. At every offer he looked past my shoul der and then repeated his denials. The last time he raised his eyes I had an Intuition that something was going on behind me. I turned quickly. There stood Mr. Poritol, extending his fingers in the air and forming his mouth silently into words. He was raising my bids! "It flashed upon me that the papers would be of immense value to Mr. Poritol for certain reasons. If only I had thought of it before! I spoke to him sharply and told him to go out side. It always seemed natural to order him about, like a little dog." "However, littlo dogs have the sharpest teeth," remarked Orme. "That is true. He replied that be couldn't think of leaving me alone in such a place. So there was noth ing for me to do except to go. I would have to return later without Mr. Poritol. 'Come along,' I said. 'My er rand is done.' "Mr. Poritol smiled at me In a way I didn't like. The burglar, meantime, had gone to a little table at the back of his cell. There was an ink bottle there and ho seemed to be writing. Looking into the cell, Mr. Poritol said: 'The poor fellow has very un pleasant quarters.' Then he said to Walsh: 'Can't we do something to make your enforced stay hero more comfortable, my dear sir?'" Orme smiled at the unconscious mimicry of her accent "Walsh came back to the grating.. He held in his hand a five-dollar bill the one that has made so much trouble. It had been smuggled in ta him in some way. 'You might get me some "baccy,"' he said, thrusting the bill through the bars and grinning. "Now I understood what was going on. I reached for the bill, as though It were intended for me, but Mr. Po ritol was quicker. He snatched the bill and put it in his pocket "I didn't know what to do. But suddenly Mr. Poritol seemed to be frightened. Perhaps he thought that would have him arrested, though he might have known that there were reasons why I couldn't He gave me a panicky look and rushed out of the corridor. Afterward I learned that he told the guard I had sent him on an errand. "Well" she sighed "of corrrse, I followed, after a last glance at Walsh, who was peering through the grating with a look of evilv amusement He must have been well paid, that burglar. But then," she mused, "they could afford it yes, they could well afford it "When I got to the street. Poritol was just disappearing in my car! I can only think that he had lost his head very completely, for he didn't need to take the car. He could have mixed with the street crowd and gone a-foot to the hotel where " "Alcatrante?" "Yes, Mr. Alcatrante where he was stopping, and have waited there. But Mr. Alcatrante was playing golf at Wheaton. and Mr. Poritol seems to have thought that he must go straight to him. He cannot escape from being spectacular, you see. "He ran out through the western suburbs, putting on more and more speed. Meantime I set a detective on the track of the car. That is how 1 learned what I am now telling you. As for the car, Mr. Poritol sent it back to me this morning with a hired chauf feur. Ho wrote a note of abject apol ogy, saying that he had been beside himself and had not realized what he was doing. "After setting the detective at work, I went out to our place by train. I dreaded confessing my failure to fa ther, but he took it very well. We had dinner together in his study. Putting on More and More Speed. Maku was in tho room while we were talking. Now I can see why Maku disappeared after dinner and did not return." "But how did Poritol lose the bill?" asked Orme. (TO HE CONTINUED.)
