Fischer, on leaving his unsuccessful din- her party, drove direct to the residence_of Mr. Max H. Bookham, in Fifth Avenue. The butler who admitted him Ihoked a little blank at his inquiry "Mr, Bookham was expected home yes- terday, sir,"" he announced, '*He bas arrived, "however." "Has there been uny telegram from him? "any news ss to the cause of his non-re- turn?" Fischer persisted "T believe that Mr. Kaye, his secretary, has some information, sir," the man ad ffted "Perhaps you would like to see him ' Fischer did not hesitate, and was con- dacted at once to the atudy in which Mr. Backham was wont to indulge in various nefarious Stock Exchange adventures. The rom was occupied on this occasion by a de iected-looking young man. with pasty face and gold spectacles. The apartment, us Fischer was quick fo notice, showed signe of & strange disorder. "Where's Mr. Bookham ?" he asked The soung man walked to the door. shook it to be sure that i" way closed, and cume back again, His tone was ominous, almost dramatic "In the State Prissa at--, sir." he announced "What for?"

He felt like 9 man who has built 1 mighty piece of machinery, has set it swinging througit space, and watehes now its imminent collapse: watehes-some tiny but chustly flaw, pregnant with disaster, grow: ing wider and wider before his eyes "What paners did the police take away with chem?" he asked "There wasn't very much for them, the secretary repfied. 'Thre was a lis of the names of che proposed organization which, owing tty your very_wise inter: vention, was never formed. There was a list of factories throughont the United States in which munitions are being mare, with a black mark agsinst those holding the most importunt contracts. And there was a letter froin Governor Roughton." "Mr. Bookhusly fissn't drawn any cheques Intely for large amounts? Fischer in quired eagerly.

"Do yow believe that any one of those cheques was made payable to any of. the men who are under arrest ?"" "Tam afraid," the secretary declared sadly, "'that the proceeds of one were found on_the person of Ed. Swindles, intact." Fiegher sat for a moment with his head buried in his hands. "That any man could have been such a fool. An orgunization would have been thousand times safer. Max Bookham was only a very worthy and industrious clothing manufacturer, with an intense love for the Fatherland and a ereat veneration for all her institutions.
