"How did you know I was to report for signal duty here?" "In the press a few weeks ago," the hotel Keeper hastily explained, "your transfer from the Nile country was announced. + We poor people here in Gibraltar, we have so little to think even such small details of "Ah, yes." Quite so." Woodhouse tapped back a yawn. "Your journey here from your sta- tica on the 'Nile--it was without inci. dent?' Almer eyed bis guest closely.

Woodhouse swept a quick glance around, then reached for the pin in his tie. ' vA gearab: that's all." In the space of a breath Almer had geen what lay tn-the back of the stone beetle.

Woodhouse stepped suddenly away from the side of the table, against which he had been leaning, and his right hand jerked back to a concealed holster on his hip. His eyes were hot with suspicion. "You do not answer in German-- why not? Answer me in German or byte "Ach! What need to become excit- ed?" Almer drew back hastily, and his tongue speedily switched to German. "German is dangerous here on the Rock, captain. Only yesterday they shot a man against a wall because ho spoke German too well. Do you wop- der I try to forget our mative tongue?" Woodhouse was mollified. and he smiled apologetically. Almer forgave Bim out of admiration for his discre- "No need to suspect me, Almer.

"You, as Woodhouse, will be expect | ed to have some knowledge of the sig | nal tower, to which yea--wil have ac. | cess." Almer climbed a chair on the | opposite side of the room, threw opeu the face of the old Dutch clock there | and removed from its interior a thin | roll of bine drafting paper fe nut 1t tn Woodhouse's hands. "Here are a few plans of the interior of the signal tower--the best I coulll get. You will study them tonight, but give me your word to burn them before you sleep." "Very good." Woodhouse slipped the | roll into the breast pocket of his coat Almer leaned forward in a gust of ex- | ~itement and, bringing his mouth close | to the other's ear, whispered hoarsely: "England's Mediterranean fleet-- twenty-two dréadnaughts, with cruis- ers and destroyers--nearly a half of Britain's navy, will be here any day, | hurrying back to guard the channel They will anchor in the strait.

"We can get it-out-of the sale easier than from Mo jor Bishop's head," Wood house put in, with a smile. "Right.

It was not a quiet triumph that would not be dampened by trifles filled his soul Cheerfully he pushed through the mot- wall, where the roosts of sailors and warrens of quondam adventurers off all the seven seas made far more con- genial] atmosphere than that of the Splendide's hollow pretense. He chose a hostelry more commenstrate with his slender purse than Almews, though as a matter of fact the questisn of paying a hotel bill was furthest from Billy Capper's thoughts, Such formal trans. actions be avoided whenever feasible. The proprietor of the San Roc, where Capper took a room, had such an evil eye that his pew guest made a mental note that perbaps he might have to leave his bag behind when he de- camped.- Capper abhorred violence-- to his own person. ' Alone over a glass of thin wine-- the champagne days, alas, had been : too fleeting!--Capper took stock of his situation and conned the developments le hoped to be the instrument for starting. To begin with, finances were wretehedly bad, find that was a cir- cumstance so pear the ordinary for Capper (hat be shuddered as he pulled a gold guinea and a few silver bith from his, pocket and mechanically counted them over! Of the 800 marks Louisa~pretty snake!--had given hin in 'the Cafe Riche and the expense money he had geceived from her the following day to cover his expeditior to Alexandria for the Wilhelmstrasse naught but this paltry residue! That second cabin ticket on the Princess Mary had taken the last big bite from his hoard, and here be was in this black and tan town with a quid and little more between himself and the old starved dog life, But--and Capper narrowed his eyes and sagely wagged his bead--there'd be something fat coming. "When lhe got knee to.knee with the governor general of the Rock and tgld him what he, Billy Capper, knew about the identity of Captain Woodhouse, newly transferred to the signal 'service at Gibraltar, why, if there wasn't a cool £50 or a matter of that as honorarium | from a generous government Billy Cap- | per had missed his guess--that's all.

As the captain emerged from the straggling end of Waterport street and strode through the flowered paths of the Alameda he did not happen to i see a figure that dodged behind a chevaux-de-frise of Spanish bayonet | on his aproach, Billy Capper, who bad been pacing the gardens for more than an hour, fear battling with the rr A ant | i ejected | from the Hotel Splendide, took little | an uncommon experience, and, besides, | ley crowd on Waterport street down to | the lower levels of the city by the Line | "Welcome to the Rock, captain. predatory impulse that urged him to Government House, watched Captain Woodhouse pass, and his eyes narrow- ed into a queer twinkle of oblique hu- mor. So Captain Woodhouse had be- gun to play the game--going to report to the governor, eh? The pale sou] of Mr. Capper glowed with a faint flick. er of admiration for this cool bravery far beyond -its own capacity to prac- tice. Capper waited a safe time. then followed, chose a position outside Gov- ernment House from which he could see the main entrance and waited. A tall, thin Bast Indian with a nar- row, ascetic face under his closely wound white turban and wearing a native livery of the same spotless white answered the captain's sum- mons on the heavy knocker. He ac- cepted the visitor's card, showed him | into a dim 'ballway hung with faded arras and coats of chain mail. The In- dian, Jaimibr Khan, gave Captain Woodhouse a start when he returned to say the governor would recgive him in his office. The mau had a tread like a cat's---absolutely noiseless. He mov. ed through the half light of the hall like a white wraitli,. His English was spoken precisely and with a curious mechanical intonation. Jaimihr® Khan threw back heavy double doors and announced, "Cap-tain Wood-house!" He had the doors shut noiselessly almost before the visitor was through them. ' A tall, heavy set man with graying hair and mustache rose from a broad desk at. the right of a large room and advanced with hand outstretched in cordial welcome, "Captain Woodhouse of he signal service? Welcome to the Rock, cap- come." . Woodhouse studied the face of his superior in a swift glance as he shook hands. A broad, "full face it was-- kindly, intelligent, perhaps net so alert as to the set of eyes and mouth as it had been in younger days when the stripes of service were still to be won. General Sir George Crandall gave the impression of a man content to rest on his honors, though scrupu jonsly attentive to the routine of his position, He motioned Me younger .man to draw a chair up to the desk. "In yesterday on the Princess Mary, 1 presume, captain?" 2 "Yes, general, Didn't report to you on arrival because 1 thoyght it would be quite tea time, and 1 didn't want La disturb" : : i "Right!"
