the president spoke with great de-
liberation, "you are certain that the

"1 am not certain—no," replied Mr.
Grimm promptly. "1 am certain, how-

nodded.
"It was Mr. Charles WInthrop Rnn-

young man.
"Mr. Rankin of the German embas-
sy was on guard at the door?" de-
manded the president quickly.
"Yes. We got out safely."
"And that means that Germany
was—!"
The president paused and startled
glances passed around the table. Aft-
er a moment of deep abstraction the
secretary went on:
"So Miss Thorne and the prince es-
caped. Are they still In this coun-
try?"
"That I don't know," replied Mr.
Grimm. He stood sllefit a moment,
staring at the president. Some subtle
change crept Into the listless eyes,
nnd his lips were set. "Perhaps 1 had
better explain here that the personal
equation enters largely Into an affair
of this kind." he said at last, slowly.
"It happens that It entered Into this.

He stopped.
"Personal equation," mused the
president "Just how. Mr. Grimm,
does the personal equation enter Into
the affair?"
The young man's lip* closed tightly,
and then:
"There are some people, Mr. Presi-
dent. whom we meet frankly as ene-
mies, and we deal with them accord-
ingly; and there are others- who op-
pose us and yet are not enemies. It
is merely that our path* of duty cross.

them and they for us, but purposes
are unalterably different. In other

her by a dozen names; any one ol
them may be correct.'

therefore, I would suggest that Mr
Grimm be relieved of further duty In
this particular case. This Is not

Mr. Grimm received the blow with-
out a tremor. His hand* were still
Idly clasped behind his back: the
eyes fastened upon the president's
face were still Hstfess; the mouth ab-
solutely without expression.
"A* Mr. Grimm has pointed out,1
the secretary went on, "we have been

The choleric eyes of the president
BOftened a little, and grew grave as
they studied the Impassive face of the
young man.
"It's a strange, situation, Mr.
Grimm," he said evenly. "What do
you say to withdrawing?"
"I am at your orders, Mr. Presi-
dent," was the reply.
"No one knows better what you
have done than the gentlemen here at
this table," the president went on
slowly. "No one questions that you
have done more than any other man
could have done under the circum-
stances. We understand, I think, that
Indirectly you are asking Immunity
for an Individual. I don't happen to

Indeed. When we can live again the
first experiences of public prayer or
the utterances of a few words that
jumbled on our lips, we are ln
a position to help those who
are coming Into the work. We all
know how much more effective a
personal Invitation Is than a general
one. Personal Interest shown will
often win where all else falls Per-
sonal work is something that we can

weak and timid, may be able to win

your responsibility But there are
conditions for the success of a person-

young man continued. "That reckon-

be less severe than the law would
provide; but It would be a personal
reckoning. There Is one individual ln
this affair with whom I should like to
reckon, hence the personal equation

For a little while the silence of the
room was unbroken, save for the
steady Uck-tock of a great clock ln
one corner. Mr. Orlmm's eye* were
fixed unwaveringly upon those of the
chief executive. At last the secretary
of war crumpled a sheet of paper Im-
patiently and hitched hi* chair up to
the table.
"Coming down to the facta It'a like
this, Isn't It?" he demanded briskly.
"The Latin countries by an Invention
of their own which the United States
and England were to be duped Into
purchasing, would have bad power
