She la saved. In London, former Lieut. "Tommy" Beresford and Miss Prudence Cowley -- "Tuppence" -- discharged army nurae, form an organisation. The Young Adventurer®, Ltd." They are both broke and consequently ready for unorthodox methods. They write out an advertisement. Tuppence makes a business appointment with a man, Edward Whlttlngton, who offers her easy employment, but on giving her name as "Jane Finn," which she had heard on the street, Whlttlngton disappears. In answer to an advertisement signed "Jane Finn" the two receive notes from "Mr. Carter" and "Julius P. Hersheimmer," Carter, a high government official, speaks of a mysterious "Mr. Brown" aa head of the Bolshevik i In England, and engages the pair to find Jane Finn, whom he is seeking for important reasons of state. Next day the pair visits Hersheimmer, American millionaire. He Is looking for his cousin, Jane Finn, who had disappeared after landing from the Lusitania's boats, and employs them to search for her. They discover a Mrs. Vandemeyer is a Lusitania survivor. Tuppence recognises Whlttlngton in a caller on Mrs. Vandemeyer. Tommy trails him. CHAPTER IV The HOUM in Whlttlngton and his companion were walking at a good pace. Tommy started in pursuit at once, and was In time to see them turn the corner of the street His vigorous strides soon enabled him to gain upon them, and by the time lie, In his turn, reached the corner the distance between them was sensibly lessened. Their course was a zigzag one designed to bring them as quickly as possible to Oaford street. When at length they turned Into It, proceeding Id an easterly direction. Tommy slightly Increased his pace. Little by little he gained upon them. Just before the Bond Street tube station they crossed the road. Tommy, unpercelved, faithfully at their heels, and entered the big Lyons'. There ' they went up to the first floor, .and sat at a small table ln**the window. It was late< and the place was thinning out. Tommy took a seat at the table nert to them, sitting directly behind Whlttlngton in case of recognition. On the other hand, he had a full view of the second man and studied him attentively. He was fair, with a weak, unpleasant face, and Tommy put him down as being either a Russian or a Pole. He was probably about fifty years of age, his shoulders cringed a little as he talked, and his eyes, small and crafty, shifted unceasingly. Whlttlngton ordered a substantial lunch for himself and his companion; then, as the waitress withdrew, he moved his chair a little closer to the table and began to talk earnestly In a low voice. The other man Joined in. Listen as be would, Tommy could only catch a word here and there; but the gist of It seemed to be some directum* or orders which the big man tttl vigorous Strides Soon Enabled Him to Gain Upon Them. m M - '?% was impressing on his companion, and with which the latter seemed from time to time to disagree. Whlttlngton addressed the other as Boris. Tommy caught the word "Ireland," several times, also "propaganda." but of Jane Finn there was no mention. Suddenly, in a lull in the clatter of the room, he got one phrase entire. Whlttlngton was speaking. "Ah, but yon don't know Flossia She's a marvel. An archbishop would swear she was his own mother. She gets the voice right every time, and that's feally the principal thing." Tommy did not hear Boris* reply, bnt in response to It Whlttlngton said something that sounded like: "Of course--only In an emergency. . . Then he lost the thread again. But presently the phrases became distinct again whether because the other two had Insensibly raised their voices, or because Tommy's ears were getting aore attuned, he could not tell. But two words certainly had a most stimulating effect upon the listener. They were uttered by Boris and they were: ' *%r. Brown." Whlttlngton seemed to remonstrate wtth him, but he merely laughed. ••Why not, my friend? It Is a name most respectable--most common. Did be not choose it for that reason? Ah, ; I should like, to meet him--Mr. ®rown." There was a steely ring in Whlttlngtfd's voice as he replied: "Who knows? T«o may have met Mm already." : "Bah!" retorted tike other. "That is tdblldMn's talk--* fable for (he police. Do you know what I say to myself sometimes*! That he Is a fable Invented by the Inner ^ting, a bogy to' frlphten us with. It might be so." "And it might not" "I wonder . . . or Is It indeed true that he Is with -us and amongst us, unknown to all but a. chosen few? If so, he ke<epg his secret well. And the Idea is a good one, yes. We never know. We look St each other--one of us Is Mr. Brown--which? He commands-- bat also, he serves. Among us--In the midst of ua. And no one knows which he Is. . . .n With an effort the Russian shook off the vagary of his fancy. He looked at his watch. j "Yes." said Whlttlngton. "We might as well go." x He called the waitress and asked for his bill. Tommy did likewise, and a few moments later was following the two men down the stairs. Outside, Whlttlngton hailed a tnxl, and directed the driver to go to Waterloo. Taxis were plentiful here, and before Wilmington's had driven off another was drawing up to the curt In obedience to Tommy's peremptory demand. "Follow that other tail," directed the young man. "Don't lose It" The elderly chauffeur showed no interest He merely grunted and Jerked down his flag. The drive was uneventful. Tommy's taxi came to rest at the departure platform just after Whlttlngton's. Tommy was behind him at the booking office. He took a first-class single ticket to Bournemouth, Tommy did the same. As he emerged, Boris remarked, glancing up at the clock: "You are early. You have nearly half an hour." Boris' words had aroused a new train of thought In Tommy's mind. Clearly Whlttlngton was making the joiyney alone, while the other remained In London. Therefore he was left with a choice as to which he would follow. Obviously, he could not follow both of them unless-- Like Boris, he glanced up at the clock, and then to the announcement board of the trains. The Bournemouth train left at 3:30. It was now ten past. Whlttlngton and Boris were walking up and down by the bookstall. He gave (Hie doubtful look at them, then hurried Into an adjacent telephone box. He dared not waste time In trying to get hold of Tuppence. In all probability she was still in the neighborhood of South Audley mansions. But there remained another ally. He rang up the RItz and asked for Julius Hersheimmer. There was a click and a buzs. Oh, If only the young American was In his room I liiere was another click, and then "Hello" In unmistakable accents came over the wire. "That you, Hersheimmer? Beresford speaking. I'm at Waterloo. I've followed Whlttington and another man here: No time to explain. Whlttington's off to Bournemouth by the 8:30. Can you get there by thent" "Sure, ril. hustle." The telephone rang off. Tommy put back the receiver with a sigh, of relief. He felt instinctively that the American would arrive In time. Whlttlngton and Boris were still where he had left them. If Boris remained to see his friend off, all was well. Then Tommy fingered his pocket thoughtfully. In spite of the carte blanche assured to him, he had not yet acquired the habit of going about with any considerable sum of money on him. The taking of the first-class ticket to Bournemouth had left him with only a few shillings In his pocket. Jt was to be hoped that Julius would arrive better provided. In the meantime, the minutes were creeping by. Supposing Julius did not get there In time. Tommy felt cold waves of despair pass over him. Then a hand fell on his shoulder. "Here I am, son. Your British traffic beats description! Put me wise to the crooks right away." "That's Whlttington--there, getting In now, that big dark man. The other Is the foreign chap he's talking to." Tm onto them. Which of the two Is my bird?" "Got any money with you?' Julius shook his head, and Tommy's face fell. "I guess I haven't more than three or four hundred dollars with me at the moment." explained the American. Tommy gave a faint whoof of relief. "Oh, Lord, you millionaires! You don't talk the same language! Climb aboard the lugger. Here's your ticket. Whlttlngton's your man." "Me for Whlttlngton!" said Julius darkly. The trails was Just starting as he swung himself aboard. "So long, Tommy." The train slid out of the station. Tommy drew a deep breath. The man Boris was coming along the platform toward him. Tommy allowed him to pass and then followed him at a judicious distance. . hbhumi x ttvy foaeaeo mi je«g» a small dilapidated square. *Fhe houses there had a sinister air in the midst of their dirt and decay. Boris looked round, and Tommy drew back Into the shelter of a friendly porch. From there he watched Boris go up the steps of a particularly evil-looking house and rap sharply, with a peculiar rhythm, on the door. It was opened promptly, he said a word or two to the doorkeeper. then passed Inside. The door was shut to again. It was at this juncture that Tommy lost his head. What he ought to have done, what any sane man would have done, was to remain patiently where, he was and wait for his man to come out again. What he did do was entirely foreign to the sober common sense which was, as a rule, his leading characteristic. Something, as he expressed It, it seemed to snap In his brain. Without a moment's pause for reflection, he, too, went up the steps, and reproduced as far as he was able the peculiar knock. The door swung open with the same promptness as before. A villainousfaced man with close-cropped ,, hair stood In the doorway, v "Well f he grunted. / " ? "L ; It was at that moment that the full realization of his folly began to come home to Tommy. But he dared not hesitate. He seized at the'first words that came into his mind. "Mr. Brown?" he sald. To his surprise, the man stood aside. "Upstairs," he^jsald, Jerking his thumb over his shoulder, "second door on your left." » Taken aback though he was by the man's words, Tommy did not hesitate. If audacity had successfully carried hha so far, It was to be hoped It would carry "him yet farther. He quietly passed into the house and mounted the ramshackle staircase. Everything in the house was filthy beyond words. Tommy proceeded leisurely. By the time he reached the bend In the staircase, he had heard the man below disappear into a back room. Clearly no suspicion attached to him as yet. To come to the house and ask for "Mr. Brown" appeared indeed to be a reasonable and natural proceeding. At the top of the stairs Tommy halted to consider his next move. In" front of him ran a narrow passage, with doors opening on either side of it. From the one nearest him on the left came a low murmur of voices. It was this room which he had been directed to enter. But what held his glance fascinated was a small recess Immediately on his right, half concealed by a torn velvet curtain. It was directly opposite the left-handed door and, owing to Its angle, It also commanded a good view of the upper part of the staircase. As a hiding place for one or, at a pinch, two men. It was ideal, being about two feet deep and three feet wide. It attracted Tommy mightily. He thought things over in his usual slow and steady way, deciding that the mention of "Mr. Brown" was not a request for an individual, but in all probability a password used by the gang. His lucky use of it had gained him admission. So far he had aroused no suspicion. But he must decide quickly on his next step. It seemed to him that luck had served him very well so far, but that there was such a thing as trusting It too far. To enter the room at the left was a colossal risk. He could not hope ,to sustain his part Indefinitely; sooner or later he was almost bound to betray himself, and then he would have thrown nway a vital chance in mere foolhardlness. A repetition of the signal knock sounded on the door below, and Tommy, his mind made up, slipped quickly Into the recess, and cautiously drew the curtain farther across, so that It shielded him completely from sight. There were several rents and slits in the ancient material which afforded him a good view. He would watch events, and any time he chose could, after all, join the assembly, modeling bis behavior on that, of the new arrival. The man who came up the staircase with a furtive, soft-footed tread was unknown to Tommy. He was obviously of the very dregs of society. The low beetling brows, and the criminal Jaw, the bestiality of the whole countenance were new to the young man, though he was a type that Scotland Yard would have recognized at a glance. The man passed the recess, breathing heavily as he went. He stopped at the door opposite, and gave a repe tition of the signal knock. A voice Inside called out something, and the man opened the door and passed in, affording Tommy a momentary glimpse of the room inside. He thought there must be about four or five people seated round a long table that took up most of the space, but his attention was caught and held by a tall man with close-cropped hair and a short, pointed, naval-looking beard,' who sat at the head of tlte table with papers In front of him. As the newcomer entered, he glanced up, and thm with a correct, but curiously predR| enunciation, which attracted Topupf* notice, he asked: "Your number, comrade?* "Fourteen, gu^or," other hoarsely. "Correct" ?• - The door shut again. "If that Isn't a German, I'm a Dutchman!" said Tommy to himself. "And running the show darned systematically too--as they always do. Lucky 1 didn't roll In. I'd^have given the wrong number, and there would have been the deuce to pay. . No, this Is the place for me. Hulla, here's another knock." This visitor proved to be of an entirely different type to the last Tommy recognized in him an Irish Shin Felner. Certainly Mr. Brown's organization was a far-reaching concern. The common criminal, the well-bred Irish gentleman, the pale Russian, anh the efficient German master of the ceremonies! Truly a strange and sinister gathering! Who was this man who held In his finger these curiously variegated links of an unknown chain? Two knocks followed in quick succession on the door below. The first man. was quite unknown to Tommy, who put him down as a city clerk. A quiet, Intelligent-looking man, rather shabbily dressed. --The second was of the working classes, and his face was vaguely familiar to the young man. Three minutes later came another, a man of commanding appearance, exquisitely dressed, and evidently well born. His face, again, was not unknown to the watcher, though he could not for the moment put a name to it After his arrival there was a long wait In fact, Tommy concluded that the gathering was now Complete^ and The Creature Reminded Him Venomous 8nake. of a Few #omen give as to the planning and selection at the proper dothes for motoring as this part of their wardrobe deserves, asserts a fashion authority to the New York Times. The ravages of the sun and wind and dust on hair and complexion demand a becoming costume to preserve a charming appearance. It is decidedly a bad habit to wear "Just anything" for a motor trip. Every other sport Is allotted its special suit or frock or wrap, but often a collection of discards Is relegated to motoring. The shops are showing Intriguing togs In this line. First and foremost Is the all-enveloping coat or coat-cape. This Is the surest Investment because It may be worn over suits or frocks. Is excellent protection from the cold and will last for several years If cut on conservative lines. The majority of the new models are of loosely woven materials In delightful cotor-v/comblnatlons. There are many plaids, hut tbe newest thing is the horizontal stripe In the camel's hair and(nomespun weaves.

The Big Man was a coward, of course, because he depended upon his physical superiority to back his policy. The Little Man, being a Man. what there was of him, spoke to the Big Man, as follows: "You great big cowardly beef I You think you're a Man, but you're Just a beast with clothes on. You haven't got as much manhood as a baby louse, if you weren't twice as big as I am, you wouldn't take a chance, because your heart is afraid, and you're a coward, and a liar, and a bum. Now, you're going to take it back and apologize or I'm going to tell you a lot more of what I think about you. Then I'm going to drive my fist Into your face, if I can get up high enough to reach it. And Fm going to take a licking if I have to, but I'm going to be a bigger man than you are, with both eyes closed and three ribs gone!

This last-comer came up the stairs so quietly that he was almost abreast of Tommy before the young man had realized his presence. He was a small man, very pale, with a gentle, almost womanish air. The angle of the cheek-bones hinted at his Slavonic ancestry, otherwise there was nothing to Indicate his nationality. As he passed the recess, he turned his head slowly. The strange light eyes seemed to burn through the curtain; Tommy could hardly believe that the man did not know he was there and in spite of himself he shivered. He was no more fanciful than the majority of young Englishmen, but he could not rid himself of the Impression that some unusually potent force emanated from the man. The creature reminded him of a venomous snake. A moment later his impression was proved correct. The newcomer knocked at the door as all bad done, but his reception was very different The bearded man rose to his feet, and all the others followed suit. The German came forward and shook his hands. His heels clicked' together. "We are honored," he said. "We are greatly honored. I much feared that it would be impossible." The other answered in a low voice that had a kind of hiss In it: ••There were difficulties. It will not be possible again, I fear. But one meeting is essential--to define my policy. I can do nothing without--Mr. Brown. He is here?" Tbe change in the German's voice was audible as be replied with alight hesitation: "We have received a message. It Is impossible for him to be present in person." He stopped, giving a curious impression jot having left tbe sentence unfinished. A very slow smile overspread the face of the other. He looked round at a circle of uneasy faces. "Ah! I understand. I have read of his methods. He works In the dark and trusts no one. But all the same, it Is possible that he Is (among us now. . . .H He looked round htm again, and again that expression of fear swept over the group. Each man seemed eyeing his neighbor doubtfully. The Russian tapped his cheek. *^So be it. Let us proceed." The German indicated the place he had been occupying at the head ol the table. The Russian demurred, but the other Insisted. "It Is the only possible place." he sakl, "for--Numnilier One. Perhaps Number Fourteen will sliqt he door?" In another moment Tommy was again confronting bare wooden panels, and tbe voices within had sunk once more to a mere undlstingMiihable murmur. Tommy became restive. The conversation he had overheard had stimulated bis curiosity. He felt that, by hook or by crook, he must heat more. "But Tommy heard no more. A crushing blow descended on hie head and all was darkness." (TO BK CONTINUE!*) Coat of Blaek, Model * Tan One woman arrived at a smart country place for the week-end with a huge beige and tan cape-coat a brown hat trimmed with orange and a facing of orange on her knitted suit Brown oxfords completed an ensemble that Was as artistic from a color point of view as It was smart from the fashion standpoint Gray Is an excellent color for motor wraps, as it Is so easy to build the entire costume about It with touches of color. A close-fitting doche of red leather made an effective complement to a gray and black plaid coat seen recently on a brunettet For Very Warm Weather. For the extremely torrid weather, or for the woman who dislikes heavier things on general principles, motor coats of coarse linen are very good. These are usually conservative In cut, well tailored, hardly ever trimmed, and seldom are they made in any but the natural color. A successful costume may be achieved with one as a basis. Vivid green or an old blue might be used for hat and accessories, or brown with orange would harmonize with the linen color. One charming example of theolmply cut, distinctive type of coat smart women are wearing when they motor is of three-quarter length and Is significant of the trend of wraps for the fall. The wlumlnons collar and wellfitting raglan shoulders are notable reasftflf for its success. A tightly _ draped wont with It An attractive variation of this theme, one which makes use of the tremendous vogue for the cupe4>ack treatment, la carried out in camel's hair, with a wooly surface, in gray, with a wistaria colored stripe running through it vaguely. A purplo cloche, plain but for lta saucy cocarde, is effective with It The military flare which the cape-hack Injects into a coat of this kind Is relished by the smart sportswoman. One waa heard to remark recently that her new motor coat of this type reminded her of her war work and made her feel Important--at least like a brigadier general. At any rate It is a dellghtful escape from the trite sort of thing, like the so-called polo coat, which we have always with us, and which, though it has a certain degree of smartness, lacks originality. The Inevitable short coat which has been turned to so many uses, must be included In any discussion of motor clothes. Its obvious virtues are not to be overlooked. It makes a bid for favor aa a motor adjunct on tho strength of Its almost universal bo> comingness and its accommodating faculty of taking up little apace. of the Intriguing new models are loned of Buede, supple, soft staff that Is like velvet to the touch yet has incredible powers of endurance. A fash* lonable model Is of black suede trimmed with civet cat A white flannel skirt and black embroidered white felt bat complete a black-and-white picture. Bright colors could also be used with decorative results. A yel-„ low or green scheme would lend Itself to the contrast of the black sueda. Knitted Novelties. But If the skirt be dark in tone, by all means wear a fanciful orange or violet short coat. The woolly, jersey weaves are used extensively for this sort of thing. Tbe straight box model Iff very good this season and seems to have superseded tbe type of coat that was so popular all winter--with the fullness gathered Into a hip band. A woolen coat that has the same lines as the suede model baa a swagger that fits in with the general tone of one's, motor clothes. One of the novelties of the season Is the figured, knitted stuff which Is used for short coats that are glorified sweaters. They make colorful motor things and are very practical. Flannel Is used successfully. When bound with contrasting colored braid, a short flannel coat is effective with a harmonizing skirt This* sort of thing Is extremely youthful but It may be worn by others to great advantage. It Is easy to create an Illusion of-youth In this blessed age of eamfeoflagei A French bob, close and boyish, a vivid short coat, a billowy plaited skirt a tiny brimmed mushroom felt hat flit heels--for any on# in such a costume Father Time simply stands stllL For meter needs one finds capas that are most attractive. Often they are aastirlttte the short coats, anllned and bouiUL wtth braid in a contrasting color. The materials used are much tbe same as those for the eoats-- homespuns, velours, flannels and the novelty Jersey weaves with angora surfaces. A simple model which received much attention at a recent tennis tournament was of taupe jersey with an Egyptian-figured border, cat straight and gathered to a long, straight strip of material which formed a crushed collar and tied In the front ending In long scarf-like ends. The careless way in which this model may be worn la a great part of its charm. Many capes of similar types are seen at the smart resorts, worn over bathing suits, motoring to and from the beach bnd hotels. A.i Write for 32- the WorldP ^K»ftooess use TUb Coupon **•!*** Ufa.

Sources of Arsenic. The most important sources of the 'World's supply of arsenic are the silver mines of Saxony, the tin and pyrlte mines of England and the mispickel (arsenical pyrites) mines of Spain and the province of Ontario, Canada. The Canadian mispickel contains' gold. Germany, in normal times,, produces the greatest quantity of metallic and white arsenic, England, which led the world's production In 1012, having fallen behind. It is estimated that the United States consumes about half ol the entire production of metallic, whiter red and yellow arsenic. The yellow arsenic is known as orplment. In the arts arsenic is used in pyrotechny and In the manufacture of shot, as well aa for medicine and the making of flypowders. World Oaf ts for U, Atffee. All parts of the world are opening up as markets for American motor vehicles. Though some European countries are heavy purchasers of the United States product", the best customer^ for motor cars from the United States In 1022 were Australia, Canada and Mexico, which purchased 11.236, 10,214 and 7,270, respectively. ^ Coat-Suit b Ideal Garment Just as the cape has Its followers, so also has the coat-suit There are many women who declare It to be Ideal for motoring. Camel's hair, homespuns and velours are used for many attractive Qiodels. The coats are almost Invariably hip length and straight The skirts are often wraparound. This does not mean that each suit has not Individual charm. The braid binding on one, the huge patch pocket and leather buttons on anotb* er, or the high-buttoned collar on another, are features which give .variety to costumea cut on practically tbe •ame lines. A word might be said about frocks suitable for motoring. Tbe experienced woman knows that eponges, ratines and jerseys are the beat weaves, because they are almost nonerushable, and this Is a feature to be reckoned with. Under capes and coats. Silk frocks and summery cottons lose their freshness In no time, while knitted things look attractive even after a long trip. Hats for motoring must of necessity be small. The popularity of the cloche or mushroom shape which has swept the country tor (he last two seasons does not seem to abate, and this type of millinery is Ideal for sports. The stovepipe hat seems the next step In tbe evolution of,the docbe, and models are seen here and there that are the nth degree In smartness. Felt and leather are used for motor headgear. Effective Blouse for Separate Summer Skirt .Some of the new blouses are shaped with necklines that call for fichus or arrangements of lace, and these are most effective when made up In tbe thinner materials that are more appropriate for summer wear. For instance, there will be a thin silk blonse that. has Its organdie fichu, or there will* be a heavy ratine silk blouse that is provided with a wide piece of heavy lace arranged about the square neckline They are all most graceful In appearance, and they are all designed to be worn, most effectively, with the separate summer skirts-which are so much a portion of the season's fashion. Many a frivolous woman twines IHM^ self about a man's heart for the purpose of stringing him. BeHet ThdnPills fbi L i \er Ills. better Many Variations of Winsome Apron Tunic Afternoon dresses frequently show tbe apron tonic. There are literally hundreds of variations of the apron tunic dress for the afternoon, observes a Paris fashion writer in the New York Tribune. There Is the butcher's apron tunic dress of black satin, the tucked tunic dress of dark-blue crepe, the lace ruffled apron tunic dress, the flowered silk apron tunic dress and many others. An abbreviated apron tunic of a large printed silk handkerchief ties about the waist of a brown crepfe dress. In selecting materials for the afternoon frock dark blue or black satin, with an accompaniment of dainty net collars and cuffs, Is fashionable. Georgette crepe is also very good and the simply draped, untrimmed crepe de chine frock is quite as chic as any* thing that can be selected. There are a few of the last named to be Been at •very Paris dressmaker's. Taffeta also to noted, particularly for the bouffant typo of dress. One maker shows • taffeta frock with an apron tunic made entirely of narrow ruffles. Wtth these afternoon frocks the correct wrap Is eitner a crepe coat preferably black or dark blue, or a cape. Hip-length capes to match the dress are very good. Later In the season braided georgette capes and coats wiU be worn to a limited extent Fashion Favors Deep Cufta. Deep cuffs are the order of the day, and whether these are puffed continuations of the sleeve or attached gauntlet complements, they are always dona In effective contrast White broadcloth, embroidered linen and appllqued chiffon an all mans of colt decoration.
