Orme recognised them. Nevertheless,
to make sure that be wae not being
deceived, be slid bis bands over Ari-

found nothing that resembled tbe

evening. As nearly aa he could tell
It was ten minutes past nine He
could hardly believe that It wae so
early.
With a final, "Take It easy," to Art-
ma, Orme now started down the road
toward the lights of a house, a quarter
of a mile ahead.
He had It In mind to examine the
papers, to find a clue to tbe name of
the girl's father. The sentiment which
had led him to refuse her offer to tell
him everything must now be neglect-
ed. There might still be time to de-
liver the papers before midnight, but
he did not dare delay.
For one thing, he had only the
haziest notion aa to bis whereabouts.

CHAPTER XVI.—Continued.
the turnpike like aome flying bird of
night Orme gianced back over the
way they bad come. A soft electric
glow in the sky told where Evanston
lay, several miles to the east. Far
to the south a greater glow showed
the position of Chicago.
Pulling himself erect, Orme leaned
forward. It seemed as though Arlma
must hear him breathe. Slowly he
advanced his arm. Then, darting
swiftly, be threw it around Arlma's
neck and drew backwards with a Jerk.
The Japanese was taken completely
unawares. Uttering a strangled
cry, he let go of the steering
wheel and clutched at the choking
arm that held him; he could not break
the grip.
Meanwhile Orme reached for tbe
steering wheel with his free arm. But
Arlma, kicking frantically, struck the
wheel with his foot, Just as Orme was
about to seize it. The car turned
sharply to one side. Into the ditch
it plunged.
As the fore wheels dropped into the
depression, the body of the car rose
in the sir. Orme, still clinging to
Arlma, shot forward. He was con-
scious, In that fraction of a second,
that he must release his bold, or Ar-
lma's neck would he broken; so be
unbent his arm.
The earth arose and something
struck him heavily. He saw a firma-
ment of brilliant stars. Then all was
black.
CHAPTER XVII.
Obviously he was somewhere west of
Efanaton, but that meant little In an
unfamiliar country. He would have to
find some conveyance.
Not altogether without sympathy
for bis fallen enemy, he nevertheless
felt that Arlma bad received no more
than he deserved. There had been
no hesitation about the different at-
tacks made upon himself. He had
provoked no assault unless by the
fact that he had tbe marked uill In his
possession. But the calmness with
which Arlma had endured his final de-
feat aroused admiration. After all,
tbe Japanese had merely acted under
orders. And now Orme's first thought
was to get help for him.
He came to the lights he bad seen.
They shone through the windows of a
small farmhouse a few rods back from
the road. A short avenue of poplars
led to the door.
In response to Orme's knock, the
man of the house appeared—a Ger-
man with aleepy eyes and tousled yel-
low hair.
"There Is an Injured man down the
road a way," said Orme. "Motor car
smash."
"So?"
"His leg Is broken, I think. I made
Tbe German shook his head In de-
precation of the Idea that be wished
any return for his servlcea Mean-
time hla long-legged, tow-headed son
had come from within and stood gap-
ing behind his father.
"V1U you go back to der man mlt
met" asked tbe German.
"No," said Orme.
"So? Veil, all right"
I'm sorry I can't wait," said Orme.
"I've done what I could, and I have
a long way to go."
"Sure! Dat's all rlghtl"
"Then thank you very much. Good-
night"
Orme walked briskly to the road
and turned wsst He felt assured that
Artm* would be looked after.
Following the road to the first cross-
ing, be turned to tbe right In a few
minutes be saw the lights of the club-
bouse, snd a little later be stepped
upon the veranda
Many people w~re seated In tbe
comfortable porch chairs. The charms
of the summer evening bad held them
after their afternoon of play. And
from one of the groups came tbe
sound of a voice—a man's voice—
which Orme found vaguely familiar.
He could not place it, however, and
be quickly forgot It in hla general Im-
pression of the scene.
In this atmosphere of gaiety he felt
strangely out of place. Here all was
chatter and froth—the activity of the
surface-Joy of living; but he had
stepped into It fresh from e series of
events that had uncovered the Inner
verities.
Here the Ice tinkled In cool glasses,
and women laughed happily, and
every one was under the spell of the
velvety summer evening; but he had
looked Into the face of Love and the
face of Death—and both were still
near his heart
He found a servant and asked for
the Walllnghams.
"Mr. Walllnghara has left, sir," said
tbe man, "but Mrs. Walllngham Is
here."
"Ask her If Mr. Orme may apeak to
her."
He smiled rather grimly as the
servant departed, for he anticipated
Bessie's laughing accusations.
And presently she came, an admon-
ishing finger upheld.
"Robert—Orme," sbe exclaimed,
"bow dare you show your face now?"
Presently Orme raised bis head and
discovered that the houses were thin-
ning out Tbe car appeared to be
heading straight into tbe open coun
try, and Arlma put ou more speed.
Forty miles an hour was not a high
estimate for the rate at which they
were traveling.
For several minutes Orme continued
In his crouching position. The posi-
tions of the stars told him that they
were still going west—not south to-
ward Chicago. Every turn of the
wheels, therefore, was carrying him
farther into unknown territory—farth
or from the girl and all chance of com
munlcating with her. Surely be must
act soon, if he was to act at all; for
A'ima evidently was proceeding to
some rendezvous, where Orme might
find himself again In tbe midst of an
overwhelming number of enemies.
But what could he do? Rapidly be
turned over in his mind the various
courses open to him. Should he try
to stun Arlma with a blow, and then
reach forward and take the steering
wheel before the car could swerve
Into the ditch?
The blow might not prove effective
In that case, the chances were that
Arlma would iuvoluntarlly swing the
car to one side. Then there would
be a smash—with death or serious in-
Jury threatening both Arlma and blm-
"*lf.
Should he try to cut a tire?
Ths feat was almost Impossible. In
attempting It, be would run great rlak
of premature discovery, snd evsn if
be succeeded In ths attempt, the altua-
Uon would be little changed. Tbe no
cesslty of stopping the car to mske
repairs might not put Arlma In bis
banda.
Tbe plan he at last decided upon
was to throw his left arm around Arl-
ma's neck and draw him straight back,
trusting that he might be able to get
over tbe seat and set the brakes with-
out losing bis grip Ths throat of the
Jiu-Jltsu adept Is tough, made ao by
pstlent development of neck muscles,
but Orme had a strong srtn, and he
believed, moreover, tbat Arlma would
not have time to protect himself by
stiffening hi* muscles before the grip
was secured
The uar was skimming along over
A Chance of the Gsms.
The first Impression that came to
Orme with returning consciousness
was one of Impending dlaaster. His
mind waa renewing Its last thought
before It had ceased to work.
Then be realized that tbo disaster
had already occurred, and be moved
his arms and legs, to see If they bad
been Injured. They gave him no
pain, and be raised himself te a sit-
ting position.
The soft night hovered about bim.
He heard confusedly the droning of
Insects, and the distant mournful call
of a whip-poor-will. Tbe roar of tbe
car waa strangely missing. What bad
become of it? And where was Arlma?
These were tbe first question he
asked himself as he became able to
think without confusion.
He now became aware that bis head
hurt, and raising his hand, he found
a large bump under tbe hair above
his right temple. Turning, be discov-
ered thst he hsd been thrown over the
fence into a field of thick-standing
grain, which had broken bis fall. His
head must have struck the fence In
passing.
He got to his feet At first be wes
bothered by dizziness, but tbat soon
disappeared
Climbing the fence, he saw that the
car had turned over on one side. At
a glance there were na evidences of
superficial damage, but It would take
a team of horses and some time to
right It and get it back Into the road.
The lamps had been extinguished.
In the ditch near the car lay Arlma
One of his legs was bent under him
horribly Orme hurried over to him.
Tho Japanese was conscious. His
beady eyes glittered wetly In the star-
light. but he said no word, gave no
groan, made no show of pain. What-
ever he may have suffered, he en-
dured with the stoicism that Is tra-
ditional In his race.
"Much hurt?" asked Orme, bend
Ing over him.
"My leg Is broke." Arlma spoke un-
emotionally.
Orme considered. "I'll send you
help," he said, at last "IJe quiet for
a little while, and you will be looked
after."
He rose, smoothed out his clothing,
snd pulled himself together. It was
not part of his program to let whom-
ever he might meet know that be him-
self had been concerned In the wreck.
In a moment he returned to'Arlma.
"I'll have to have those papers." he
raid
Silently the Japanese reached with-
in his coat and drew out the papers.
He held them for Orme to take
"You have me beat." he aald. "Spirit
told me I must fall."
A picture of the scene In Madsm
Alts'* rooms came to Orme; the dark-
ness broken only by a pinpoint of
gaslight; the floating, ghostly forms;
the circle of awed believers, with the
two Jspanese, Intent as children.
Tbe medium's work for him had
not ended when she helped him to es
rape. Mentally he redoubled his
thsnks to her. for sbe hsd so Impress-
ed tbe fatalistic mind of Arlma tbat
he gave tbe papers over without ma-
king necessary a final struggle.

you get a doctor? The man will rest
quiet till a doctor comes. He can't
be moved very well."
"Ein doctor? Ja. Es 1st one bei
Niles Center. Meln son vill go for

"No, thank you," said Orme care-
lessly
"Vas you In der accident?"
"Do I look It?" Orme laughed.
"Neln, you do not look It Acb!

harm "
"It Is too bad," admitted Orme.'
"He vas s millionaire, maybe Dey
comes by here so fast, going to Ar-
radale Hans! Komm heir! Ein
man Is gesniashed. Du must for der
doctor go." He turned back to Orme.
Meln son, he will go."
But Orme had no ears (or what the
sympathetic German ssld. One word
had made his heart leap
"Arradale!"
There ha was to hsve dined with
Tom and Hessle Walllngham! He had
forgotten them utterly. Were they
still at the golf club? Possibly, and.
In any event. If bo could reach the
club, he would be near a railroad.
"How far Is Arradale?" he asked.
"Halb-mllea. Und vare did you say
der hurt msn vas?"
"A few hundred feet back there."
Orme Indlcsted the direction. "Can
1 Vcsch Arradale by this road?"
"Next turn—recbta. 1 will take do
man some schnapps."
"That will be good. His friends will
make It right with you "
"Achl Do not say sol"
"I couldn't help ft. Bessie. Honest.
I couldn't I must ask you to forgive
and forget."
"That's s hard request. Bob You
have broken two engagements in one
day—and one of them for dinner. But
never mind. 1 have a weakness tbat
1 acquired from Tom—I mean the
weakness of believing in you. Go
ahead and explain yourself."
"It would take too long. Bessie.
Please let me put It off."
"Until you can manage a good ex-
cuse? You want all the trumps."
"My explanation is all tangled up
with other people's affairs. Where's
Tom?"
"H« went bark to the city early—
awfully sorry that ho couldn't stay to
have dinner with you. There Is a com
mlttee or something this evening "
"Bessie, you know what I asked you
over the telephone? Can you—can
you help me?"
• What—Now r
"Yes."
"Why. Bob. wbat'a the matter with
you? This Is no Umo of day to make
a call." ,
"It's very important Bessie. It
doesn't concern tho young lady alone
1 simply must be at her house wltbin
the next two hours ."
She eyed bim earnestly. "If you
say that. Bob. I must bellsvo you.
And, of course, I'll help all 1 can."
Orme sighed bis relief. "Thanks,"
be said.
Sbe flashed a speculative glance at
bim.
"I'm sorry," ha aald, "thai 1 oaa t
tell you what It's all about. You'll Just
have to take my word for it"
"Have I asked you to tell me?"
"No, you marvel of womanhood.
You are dying of curiosity. I don't
doubt, but your restraint Is super-
human."
Again she looked at him keenly.
"Bob, you are dying of curiosity your-
self. Don't you suppose I can see?"
"It's something harder than curt-
oslty," said Orme simply.
"How eager are you!" She laughed.
"Now, there Is plenty of time. Tho
trip won't take us more than half aa
bour; so come along and meet some
friends of mine."
"Bessie—If you could hurry—*
"We can't start until tho car cornea
I'm expecting It any moment So be
good, and come along. There's'such
an Interesting man—and very distin-
guished. We don't try to pronounce
his name. Just think, ho was en-
gaged for dinner here, also, and came
too late. And ever since ho arrived
he's been called to tbe telephone at
flve-mlnute Intervals. So sxcltlng!
Nobody can guess what bo's so busy
about."
She threaded her way through ths
lively groups on tbe veranda, and re-
luctantly he followed. The voice
which be had so nearly recognized
sounded closer, then stopped with a
curious little laugh that was loudly
echoed by others.
Hessle broke in upon tho lull that
followed. "Excellency, may 1 present
another man wbo missed bis dinner?"
she said saucily. "Mr. Orme."
Tbe man addressed was sitting com-
fortably In a wicker chair that was
several sizes too large for him. At
the mention of Orme's name he got to
his feet with startling alacrity.
"Mr.—Orme?" His surprise was un-
mistakable.
"Mr. Robert Orme." said Bessie.
Some one struck a match to light
a cigar, and In the sudden light Orme
found himself looking Into tho face
of tb Japanese minister.
"I*aHnk I have never met you be-
fore," said the minister slowly.
"I think not," replied Orme.
He was much disquieted by the en-
counter. Now he understood that Arl-
ma had been bound for this very
place
If only be had refused to let Bessie
drag him into her circle! Tho min-
ister would not have known hla face,
but the mention of his name gave full
enllghtment
The minister resumed his seat, and
a chair waa brought for Orme. There
were other introductions.
A woman'a voice renewed the con-
versation. "Excellency, won't you tell
us another of your very Interesting
stories?"
Tbe minister turned to her. "I will
tell yon one." he said, "that you will
not find In the literature of my coun-
try. It to a story of tho secret
service, and It came to me through my
personal acquaintance with some of
tho participants."
"Oh, that will be splendid 1
claimed tho woman.
Tho minister waited for a moment
Ho turned his face toward Orme, and
asked politely: "You will not mind
listening to what I have to say. Mr.
Onne?"
"Why, to be sure not," replied Orme,
wondering.
"My stories are not always short,"
continued the minister, "as the others
already know. But they sometimes
hold meanings which. In my country,
at least, would be perfectly plain."
After this odd bit of by-play, he hn-
gan his narrative;
"There was a man who lived In the
city of Takamatsu, on the island of
Shlkoku. His name waa Klmaga, and
he waa much respected by all who
knew him. for be was painstakingly
devoted to his aged and mos' honor-
able parents. By trade ho was s ma-
ker of vases—a—what you call him—
a potter.
"One day while Klmaga was walk-
ing upon tbe road, he saw before him
on the ground a letter. He picked It
up. It was sealed, but bo discovered
upon the outside a curious writing
which be could not make out. In fact.
Klmaga could not read at all. Ho
was very poorly educate.
"But Klmaga was charm by tbe
Krace and beauty of the writing.
Though he could not read it. It fas-
cinated his eyes. He decided to keep
it. making no attempt to find the right-
ful own r You must know that In
Nippon beauty Is worship by jthe
humblest workman.
"It happened that the letter had
been written by a Chinese Bpy, aud
it contained a report concerning our
fortifications. Now there Is in Nip-
pon a very secret service. It is not
responsible to the government. It Is
compose of nobles who for many and
many a generation have bound them-
selves by a strong oatn to do patriotic
service which the government Itself
might be too embarrassed to under-
tske. If they are oblige to use ex-
treme uteasuiee. aud are arrested be-
cause of what they have done, they
calmly accept the punishment of the
law without expl-.lnlng their actlona.
Sons of noble bouses have been exe-
cuted for assassinating secret ene-
mies of Nippon, and tbey have mot
this fate aa their oath demanded.
"Members of this secret service
knew about this letter of tho Chinese
spy. Tbey knew, also, tbat It had
been lost and before long thoy
learned that Klmaga had picked it up.
How they learned all this does not
matter But tbey also knew thst the
relations between Nippon and rtyna
st the time were of such a strain tbat
their government not wishing to give
cause of war. would hesitate to pun-
ish tho Chinese spy.
"In the meantime Klmaga hsd be-
come so enamor of the letter that
he could not bear to let K go out of
hfc possession. Whoa ho wm aloae
be would feast hla eyes apon tae
beautiful writing. But It wm aol
long before ho discovered that meg
wore watching him, m be became
filled with fear. Why should he bo
watched? Had be done a guilty
thing?
"So greatly did the few sweU la
him that bo decided to take the letter
back to the place where be bad found
It, and drop It again la tbe road.
But when he got to tbe ptooe and
looked for a last time at tbe writing
It give him ouch longing to keep it
that ho thrust It Into hla hreee
and hurried back to hla ahop.
"That night a man came I* see
Klmaga.
'Are you Klmaga, tbe maker si
vaaeo?' be aald.
Klmaga, all trembling, replied that
ho was.
Then.' said tho man, *1 bare oome
to you with high purpose. Ton bar*
letter which does not
you. Give It to me.'
'Coos It belong to yonf
Klmaga. hla desire puttfbg i
his fear.
'That to not to be aaked.' repllsd
the man. 'I am samurai. For the
glory of Nippon you mus' give ma the
letter.'
But Klmaga did not wish to let
the letter go. 'How do you know that
have ItT* he said. 'You have not
seen It'
'It la enough that 1 know,' aald
the man. 'Three daya I allow you. It
by then the letter hu not been placed
on the altar of the war-god. In the
shrine of Samlya, then you will be a
BMslnated.'
"With tbat the man went away.
"Klmaga wm now almoa' dead wlta
fright For the ftrst day he did noth-
ing but weep. Tbe aecond day he put
on mourning and aet hla affaire la
order. The third day he held tbe let-
ter in hia hand for many hours and
filled his mind with the beauty of tho
writing. He could not give It up.
Rather would he die. And at laat ha
placed it in a lacquer box and buried
It deep at the foot of the largeat cher-
ry tree In bis garden.
"He arose to go back Into hla
bouse, an' his head waa bowed over
with terror. You see. he felt thM
many eyea were watching him from
the near-by walla, an' he thought ha
heard breath lnga and the whispers of
strangers. What should he do nowf
He dare not advance; he dare not
stay where he waa. So exceeding at-
frighted waa ha that ho groaaed
aloud. From all about him came
groans that answered hla. Onoe mora
he groaned, and once more hla ears
were filled with the answers.
"Then he took one atop toward hla
houae. Nothing happened. Ha took
another atep. aa' hla knees they ahook
like tho palsy. The breathings aaf
whisperings seem, oh, so much aaarar
now. But he muster all hla atreagtb
an' put out his foot for tbe third atep.
It did not reach the ground before tbe
vengeadce struck him.
"Tbe next morning hla wtfe found
him dead. His hoad had boea severed
from hla body."
The minister stopped aad sat hack
In his chair.
"How awful!" sidelined tbe waa*
aa who had Mkod for a atory.
"Not ao," aald the minister affably.
"In serving my country, such things
mus' bo dona Klmaga should have
given the letter. Don't you think a%
Mr. Orme?"
Tho parable wm quite dear te
Orme. He understood the threat
"In America," he Mid. drily, "wa
do not worship penmanship."
"But an American might for other
reasons keep a letter that did not be-
long to him."
"Not If be was honorable. Hla
natural couiee would be to see that
It was delivered to tho person for
whom It was Intended. Certainly he
would not give It to any man wba
could not prove his right to tt"
"Would he not? But If ha wara
told that he mua" die—?"
"In tbat case he would Inform hla
friends of the threats against him.
and they would see that his murderer*
were hanged. Assassination Is not
popular In America, ex llency."
Orme did not attempt to conceal the
contempt in his words, and several ot
the listeners moved In their chairs, b*
truylng their embarrassment
"Perhaps, then. Mr. Orme," aald the
minister, "you could favor us with a
story which would show the attitude
of an American in such a ffair."
Orme laughed. "Oddly enough," ha
replied. "I can give you Just such a
story—If you all care to hear It"
"Go on," murmured one of the me&
"It happened to a friend of mine,"
said Orme. "He had In his possession
a number of proxies, tbe use of which
would determine the control ot
a certain corporation. While he waa
carrying these proxies to the country
house of the man to whom he waa te
deliver them, be was attacked by a
man who was acting for another fac-
tion This man secured the advantage
over my friend and. robbing bim <4

And did he escape?" ths miniate*
