SYNOPSIS.
At the expense of a soiled hat Herbert
Orme saves from arrest a Klrl in a black
touring car who has caused a traffic Jam
on State street- He buys a new hat and
Is given a five 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 WalUngham 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 fight 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 Rive
up the bill. He learns that a Jap has
called for him. Orme goes for a walk
and sees two Japs attack Alcatrante. He
rescues him. The minister tries diplo
macy, but falls to get the marked bill.
Returning to his rooms Orme is attacked
by two Japs who effect a forcible ex
change of the marked bill for another.
Orme finds the girl of the black car wait
ing for him. She also wants the bill. Orme
tells his story. She recognizes one of the
Japs as her father's butler. Maku. The
second Inscription on the bill Is the key
to the hiding place of Important papers
stolen from her father. Both Japs and
South Americans want the papers. .Orme
and the "Girl" tart out in the black
car In quest of the papers. In the uni
versity grounds in Evanston the hiding
place Is located. Maku and another Jap
are there. Orme fells Maku and the
other Jap escapes.
CHAPTER V. Continued.
So he Jumped to his feet and ran
northward, then turned to the west.
Circling about, he made for the gate
at which he had entered. His pur
suer either took the wrong lead in the
darkness or stopped to examine Maku,
for when Orme went through the"
gate and doubled back, outside the
fence, to the car, there was no sound
Df steps behind him. He Jumped to
the chauffeur's seat.
"Well?" inquired the girl, eagerly.
"Too late," said Orme. "I'm sorry.
I caught Maku, but the man with the
envelope got away."
She laid a hand on his arm. "Are
you hurt?" There was unconcealed
anxiety in her voice.
To say the things he yearned to
say! To be tender to her! But he
controlled his feelings and explained
briefly what had happened, at the
same time throwing on the power and
driving the car slowly northward.
"I only know that the fellow ran
northward," he said. "He may have
worked back or he may have gone
en. He may have climbed another
tree and waited."
By this time they had come to the
northern limits of the grounds, but he
had seen no one.
Suddenly the girl exclaimed:
"Listen!"
Orme stopped the car. Somewhere
from the distance came a faint hum.
"Another car!" he muttered.
"Yes," she said. "Oh. but I can do
no more. I am tired, Mr. Orme. We
cannot catch that car, even if it does
hold the man we want and there Is
no way of being sure that it does."
"If there is any place to leave you,
I will go after him alone." He had
turned the car as he spoke and was
sending it slowly southward.
"No," she said wearily. "We you
must do no more tonight. Tou have
been so good, Mr. Orme to help me
In a matter of which I could tell you
almost nothing. I won't even try to
thank you except by saying that you
have understood."
He knew what she meant. He had
met her need, because he had shown
Its greatness without her telling him.
His recognition of her plight had been
unaccompanied by any suggestion of
Ignored conventions. No gushing
thanks would have pleased him half
so much.
He smiled at her wistfully. "Does
It all end here?"
"No," she said, "I will not let It
end here. We are friends already; in
fact, Mr. Orme, as soon as I can do
so, I will see that we are friends In
name. Can you accept as little a
promise as that?"
"I can accept any promise from
you," he said gravely. "And now
shall I take you home?"
"Not home. It is too far. But I
have some friends a few blocks away
-who will take me in. Turn here,
please."
Under her guidance he took the car
through several streets, drawing up
at last before a large, comfortable
looking place, set back from the
street, with a wide, shrub-dotted lawn
before It. Several windows were still
lighted. He descended to help her
out.
She hesitated. "I hate to ask It,
Mr. Orme," she finally said, "but you
can catch the trolley back to Chi
cago. They will take care of the car
here."
He nodded. "But one thing, Girl,"
he said. "I am going to find that
other Japanese tomorrow. I shall get
the envelope. Will you call me ur
at the apartment tomorrow noon? If
1 am not there, leave word where I
can find you."
"I will do that. But don't get
yourself ' hurt." She let him help her
to the "ground.
"At noon," he said.
"At noon. Good-nisht, my friend."

CHAPTER VI.
A Chance Lead.
To follow the girl's suggestion and
return at once to Chicago was Orxne's
intention when he said good-night to
her. The hour was close to midnight,
and the evening had been crowded so
full with bewildering adventure that
he was tired. Moreover, he looked
forward to a morning that might well
test his endurance even more strenu
ously. He had now committed himself
definitely to continue In the field
against the Japanese. Except for his
desire to serve this wonderful girl
who had come so suddenly into his
life, he doubtless would have permit
ted the mystery of the marked bill
to remain unsolved. But since the
recovery of the stolen papers was so
important to her, he was prepared to
run. any risk In the struggle.
Who was she? But no. that was a
question she did not wish him to ask.
She was simply "Girl" beautiful, ten
der, comprehending his ideal In
carnate. As he stood there, hesitant,
before the house into which she had
disappeared, he pictured her again
even to the strand of rebellious hair
which had blown across her cheek.
He could discover no fault In her
perfection.
A man came Into view on the drive
at the side of the house; a servant
to care for the car, of course; and
Orme, with the uneasy feeling of one
who has been trespassing, moved
away toward the corner of the block.
He looked back, however, and saw the
newcomer clamber into the car and
send it slowly up the drive.
At the same time a light illumined
one of the upper windows of the
house. A shadow was thrown on the
curtain. Perhaps it was the girl her
self. What explanation had she given
her friends for appearing so late at
their door? Probably she had told
them no more than that she was tired
and belated.. She was not the kind
of girl from whom an elaborate ex
planation would be asked or ex
pected. Then a thought startled him. Was
this, perhaps, her home? No, she
had spoken of the people who lived
here as her friends, and she would
not have tried to keep the truth from
him by subterfuge. If this were her
home and she had not wished him to
know it, she would have requested
him to leave her before they bad
come so far.
It dawned upon him that It would
not be hard for him to learn who
lived in this house, and possibly
through that knowledge to get a clue
to her Identity. His heart warmed
as he realized how completely she
had trusted him. His assurance that
he would not try to find out who she
was had satisfied her. And Orme
knew that. If she had been so readily
assured, it was because she had rec
ognized the truth and devotion in
him.
With a happy sigh, he turned his
back once and for all and walked
rapidly away. But he did not go
toward the electric-car line, which
he knew must lie a few blocks to the
west. Instead, he retraced the
course they had come, for he had de
cided to visit the university campus
once more and try to discover what
had become of Maku, and more espe
cially of the other Japanese, who bad
secured the papers. That he would
be recognized and connected with the
attack on Maku, was unlikely.
When he came to the corner of
Sheridan road and Chicago avenue, he
hesitated for a moment Should he
go north through the campus and
seek a trace of the Japanese who had
escaped? Nearly half an hour had
gone since the adventure among the
trees, and the man must have got
completely away by this time. Hav
ing the papers, he surely would not
linger to learn the fate of Maku.
Orme found himself wondering how
the Japanese had got to Evanston.
Granting that it had not taken them
long to solve the abbreviated direc
tions on the five-dollar bill, they could
hardly have come by motor-car, for
they had had a good half-hour start,
and yet Orme had discovered them
before their work was completed.
Only on the assumption that their car
had broken down on the way could
Orme admit that they had used a
motor-car. Moreover, how were two
Japanese, whose appearance did not
indicate the possesion of much ready
money how .were they likely to have
a car, or even to rent one? And had
they believed that they might be
pursued? Would they not have come
to Evanston by an obvious route of
train or trolley?
These considerations led Orme to
think that the car which he and the
girl had heard in the distance could
not have been occupied by the es
caping Japanese.
The fellow, then, had probably made
for the electric-car line, and in that
event he would be well oa his way to
Chicago by this time. The car he had
caught must have gone southward
from Evanston about 10:45. The con
ductor would be likely to remember
having had a Japanese on board; per-
haps he would e-en remember where
the Oriental had got off. The natural
course for Orme. therefore, was to
take a car himself and. if he did not

feathers are almost like some of those

twice as long as the rest of the bird,

The females were generally found In
flocks. In which there would often be
a goodly number of males also, and
when the flocks put on speed the
males tended to drop behind. The
flocks were feeding in Heatley's grain

off at the car-barns and make In
quiries. The possibility that the Jap
anese had changed to the elevated
road on the North side was great, but
the conductor might remember If the
change had been made.
Rut Orme did not turn at once
toward the car-line. Though his logic
pointed In that direction, he was ir
resistibly Influenced by a desire to
walk eastward along the drive where
It skirted the southern end of the
campus. A half-hour might go by,
and still he would not be too late to
meet, on Its return, the car which the
Japanese would have taken. He
started, therefore, eastward, toward
the lake, throwing frequent glances
through the Iron fence at his left and
Into the dark shadows of the oaks.
He came to the lake without en
countering anyone. The road here
swept to the southward, and on the
beach near the turn sqaatted the low
brick building which the girl had told
him was the life-saving station. A
man was standing on the little veran
da. His suit of duck was dimly white
In the light from the near-by street
lamps. "One of the crew." Orme surmised,
and he sauntered slowly down the lit
tle path.
The beach sloped grayly to the edge
of the lake, where a breakwater thrust
its blunt nose out like a stranded
hulk. The water was calm, lapping
the sand so gently that it was hard
to believe that so gentle a murmur
could ever swell into the roar of a
northeaster. A launch that was
moored at the outer end of the break
water lay quiet on the tideleas sur
face. "Good-evening," said Orme, as the
man turned his head. "Are you on
watch?"
The life-saver slowly 6tretched.
"Till 12." he answered.
"Not much longer, then?"
"No. thank heaven!"
Orme laughed. "I suppose you do
get more than you want of It," he
said. "But on a fine night like this I
should think it would be mighty peas
ant." "Not If you have to put In several
hours of study after you get through."
"Study?"
"Yes. You see, I have a special ex
amination tomorrow."
"A service examination?"
"Oh, no college."
"Are you a student?"
"All the crew are students. It helps
a good deal. If you are working your
way through college."
"Oh, I see. But surely the univer
sity hasn't opened for the fall?"
"No, but there are preliminary
exams, for those who have conditions
to work off."
Orme nodded. "It's a fine campus
you have with the groves of oaks."
"Yes."
"Just the place for a quiet evening
stroll. I thought I'd walk up the
shore."
"There's a rule against going In
there after dark."
"Is there? That's too bad."
"Something funny happened there
Just a little while ago."
"So? What was it?" Orme was
getting close to the subject he most
desired to hear explained.
"Why. one of the cops was walking
along the shore and he found a Jap
anese, stunned."
"A Japanese!"
"He evidently had wandered In
there and somebody had hit him over
the head with a club."
"After money?"
"Probably. There've been a good
many hold-ups lately. But the slug
ger didn't have a chance to get any
thing this time."
"How so?"
"He was bending over the Jap when
the cop came up. He got away."

near them in their favorite haunts,
the grassland adjoining the papyrus

Going In There After Dark."
"Didn't the cop chase him?"
"No, the fellow had a good start,
so the cop stayed by the Jap."
"And what became of the Jap?"
The life-saVer Jerked his head
toward the door beside him. "He'a
in there, getting over his headache."
"Is he?" This was a contingency
which Orme had not foreseen. Nor
had he any desire to come face to
face with Maku. But If he betrayed
his surprise, the life-saver did not
notice It.
"The cop Is taking another look
through the campus," he continued.
"What does the Jap say about it?"
asked Orme.
"He doesn't say anything. It looks
as though he couldn't speak English.
The cop is going to get Asuki."
"Asukir
"A Jap student who lives in the
dormitory.'
"Oh," said Orme.
The fact that Maku would not talk
was in a measure reassuring. His ap
parent Inability to understand Eng
lish was, of course, assumed, unless,
indeed, he was still too completely
dazed by the blow which Orme had
given him, to use a tongue which was
more or less strange to him. But
what would he say if he saw Orme?
Would he not 'accuse his assailant,
hoping thus to delay the pursuit of
his companion?
, The danger was by no means slight.
Orme decided quickly to get away
from this neighborhood. But Just as
he was about to bid the life-saver a
casual good-night, two men came
around the corner of the building.
One was a policeman, the other a
young Japanese. Orme unobtrusive
ly seated himself on the edge of the
little veranda.
"How is he?" asked the policeman.
"AU right, I guess." replied the life
saver. "I looked In a few minutes
ago, and he was sitting up. Hello.
Asuki."
"Hello, there." responded the little
Japanese.
"Come," said the policeman, after
an unsuspicious glance at Orme, and,
mounting the steps, he led his inter
preter into the station.
Now, indeed, it was time for Orme
to slip away. Maku might be brought
out at any moment. But Orme
lingered. He was nearer to the solu
tion of the secret if he kept close to
Maku, and he realized, for that mat
ter, that by watching Maku closely
and. perhaps, following him home, he
might be led straight to the other
man. If Maku accused him, it should
not, after all, be hard to laugh the
charge away.
A murmur of voices came from
within the station, the policeman'a
words alone being distinguishable.
"Ask him," the policeman said, "if
he knows who hit him."
The undertones of a foreign Jargon
followed.
"Well, then," continued the police
man, "find out where he came from
and what he was doing on the
campus."
Again the undertones, and after
ward an interval of silence. Then
the policeman spoke in an undecided
voice.
"If he don't know anything, I can't
do anything. But we might as well
get a few more facts. Something
might turn up. Ask him whether he
saw anybody following him when he
went into the campus."
Orme had been straining his ears
in a vain endeavor to catch the words
of Asuki. But suddenly his attention
was diverted by a sound from the
lake. It was the "puh-puh-puh-puh"
of a motor-boat, apparently a little
distance to the northward. The ex
plosions followed one another in rapid
succession.
He turned to the life-saver.
"What boat is that?" he asked.
"I don't know. Some party from
traordinary peculiarity was the cus
tom of the cocks had of dancing in
artificially made dancing rings. For
a mile and a half beyond our camp,
down the course of the Kamiti, the
grassland at the edge of the papyrus
was thickly strewn with these dancing
rings. Each was about two feet in di
ameter, sometimes more, sometimes
less. A tuft of growing grass per
haps a foot high was left in the cen
ter. Over the rest of the ring the
grass was cut off close by the roots,
and the blades strewn evenly over

Chicago, probably. She came up an
hour or so ago at least, I suppose
she's the same one."
The explosions were now so rapid
as to make almost! one continuous
roar.
"She's a fast one, all right," com
mented the life-saver. "Hear her go!"
"Are there many fast boats on the
lake?" '
"Quite a number. They run ont
from Chicago harbor now and then.
Orme was meditating.
"Exactly how long ago did this
boat pass?"
"Oh, an hour or more. Why?"
"She seems to have been beached
up north here a little way."
"She may have been. Or they've
been lying to out there."
In Orme's mind arose a surmise
that in this motor-boat Maku and his
companion had come from Chicago.
The surmise was so strong as to de
velop quickly into a certainty. And
if the Japanese had come by this
boat. It stood to reason that the one
who had the papers was escaping in
it He must have waited some time
for Maku and, at last, had pushed off
to return alone.
Were these Japanese acting for
themselves? That did not seem pos
sible. Then who was their em
ployer? Orme did not puzzle long over
these questions, for he had deter
mined on a course of action. He
spoke to the life-saver, who appeared
to be listening to the droning con
versation which continued within the
station.
"The hold-up men may be In that
boat." remarked Orme.
"Hardly." A laugh accompanied the
answer.
"Well, why not? She came north
an hour or so ago and either was
beached or lay to until Just now."
"You may be right." Then, before
Orme knew what was happening, the
young man opened the door and
called into the station: "Hey, there!
Your robber Is escaping on that
motor-boat out there."
"What's that?" The policeman
strode to the door.
"Don't you hear that boat out
there?" asked the life-saver.
"Sure. I hear it"
"Well, she came up from the south
an hour or more ago and stopped a
little north of here. Now she's go
ing back. Mr. Holmes, here" he
grinned as he said It "Mr. Holmes
suggests that the hold-up man la
aboard."
The reference to the famous detect
ive of fiction was lost upon the po
liceman. "I guess that's about it, Mr.
Holmes," he said excitedly; and Orme
was much relieved to note that the
life-saver's humorous reference had
passed for an Introduction. The po
liceman would have no suspicion of
him now unless Maku
There was an exclamation from
within the room. "What's the mat
ter?" asked the policeman, turning in
the doorway.
The voice of Asuki replied: "He
say the robber came in a bicycle
not in a boat."
"But I thought he didn't see the
fellow coming."
"He remember now."
The policeman started. "How did
he know what we were talking about
out here?" he demanded.
"He understand English, but not
speak It, replied Asuki readily.
To the policeman this explanation
was satisfactory. Orme, of course,
found in It a corroboration of his
guess. Maku evidently did not wish
suspicion directed against the motor
boat. The policeman reentered the sta
tion, eager to avail himself of the In
formation which Maku was now dis
posed to give him.
Orme turned to the life-saver. "The
Jap is lying," he said.
"Think so?"
"Of course. If he understands Eng
lish so well, he certainly knows how
to make himself understood in it.
His story of the bicycle Is preposter
ous." "But what then?"
"Doesn't it occur to you that per
haps the Jap himself is the robber?
His Intended victim may have got the
better of him."
"Yes," said the young man doubt
fully, "but the fellow ran."
"That would be natural. Doubt
less he didn't want any notoriety.
Getting Away.
"Haven't you forgotten something,
sir?" asked the anxious waiter, as the
thrifty guest prepared to depart with
out bestowing a tip.
"No. I think not Here's my hat
and here's my cane. I don't think I
have forgotten anything."
"But you've forgotten me," said the
waiter in exasperation.
"Not at all." answered the other.

It's possible that he thought he had
killed his assailant, and had an un
pleasant vision of being detained in
the local Jail until the affair could be
cleared up."
The life-saver looked at, Orme
searchingly.
"That sounds pretty straight." he
said at last "I guess you know what
you are talking about"
"Perhaps I do," said Orme quietly.
"In any event I'd like to see who's
in that boat out there."
"There isn't a boat nearer than Chi
cago that could catch her. They have
run her several miles out into the
lake before turning south, or she
would have been pretty close to Chi
cago already. She's going fast"
The roar of the motor was Indeed
becoming a far-off sound.
"Why not telephone the Chicago po
lice to Intercept her?"
"There's no evidence against her,"
replied Orme; "only surmises."
"I know, but "
"And, as I suggested, whoever was
attacked by that Jap In there may not
want notoriety."
Suddenly the distant explosions
stopped began again stopped. Sev
eral times they were renewed at short
intervals "puh-puh-puh" "pun-pun"
"puh-puh-puh-puh" then they
ceased altogether.
"Hello!" exclaimed the life-saver.
"They've broken down."
He picked up a pair of binoculaM
which had been lying on the veranda
near him, and scanned the surface
of the lake.
"Make her out?" queried Orme.
"No, she's too small, and too far
off." He handed the night-glass to
Orme, who in turn searched the wa
ter vainly.
"Whose boat Is that moored to the
breakwater?" asked Orme. lowering
the glass.
"Belongs to a man here In town."
"Would he rent it?"
"No. But he lets us run it once In
awhile. We keep an eye on it for
him."
Orme took out his watch. "It's al
most 12." he said. "You'll be relieved
in a few moments. Do you suppose
I could persuade you to take me out
to the other boat?"
The live-safer hesitated. "I'd like
to," he said. "But my study"
"There'll be some sport, if we get
within reach of the man out there,"
Orme put In.
"Well ni do It though the
chances are that they will make their
repairs and be off again before we
come within a mile."
"I'm much obliged to you," said
Orme. "If you would let me make It
right"
"For taking you out In another
man's boat? No, sir."
"I know. Well my name is Orme,
not Holmes."
"And mine," grinned the life-saver.
"Is Porter."
A man turned In from the drive.
and sauntered toward them.
"There's my relief," said Porter.
"Hello. Kelmsley."
"Hello." replied the newcomer.
"Just wait till I punch the clock."
said Porter to Orme.
"Punch the clock? Oh, I see; the
government times you."
"Yes."
Porter went Into the station for a
moment; then, returning, he ex
changed a few words with the relief
and led Orme down to the breakwa
ter. The launch which was moored
there proved to be a sturdy boat,
built for strength rather than for'
speed.
Orme cast off while Porter removed
the tarpaulin from the motor and
made ready to turn the wheel over.
"Is the policeman still busy with
the Jap?" Orme questioned sud
denly. "Yes."
"He won't get anything out of
him," said Orme "except fairy
stories." Porter started the motor and
stepped forward to the steering
wheel. Slowly the launch pushed out
into the open lake, and the lights of
the shore receded.
No sound had come from the dis
abled boat since its motor stopped.
Doubtless It was too far off for the
noise of repairs to be heard on the
shore. Orme peered over the dark
surface of the water, but he could see
nothing except the lights of a dis
tant steamer.

severe case of inflammation of the bladder
and an operation was very necessary.
I was being prepared to be taken to the
hospital, when a neighbor came to say
house and said, "Why don't you try a
bottle of Dr. Kilmer'e Swamp-Root?" I
was willing to try anything to get relief

and soon noticed a change for the better.

I would have been operated on, and per

my friends about Dr. Kilmer's SwassD
Root as I know it will save many people
from suffering and perhaps, as in say
ease, a dangerous operation.
