"He's coming down the street to the department now, sir." "Where has he been since he left Mrs, Varney"s house?" "He went to his quarters on Carey street. We got in the next room and watched him through a transom." "What was he doing?" "Working on some papers or docu- ments." "Could you see them? Dia you see what they were? "They looked like orders from the war department, sir." "He is coming here with forged or ders, 1 suppose." "I don't doubt it, sir." "I surmise that his game is to get control of these wires and then send out dispatches to the front that will take away a battery or a brigade from some vital point, the vital point indi cated by 'Plan 3." That's where they mean: to attack tonight." "Looks like it, sir," agreed the or derly respectfully. "'Plan 3,' that's where they will hit us," mused the secret service agent, "is there a guard in the build- ing?"

"It 1 shouted they could hear from this window, couldn't they?" asked Arrelsford. 'The guard In front could hear you, sir.

Edith Varney had heard enough of the conversation to understand that Thorne was coming. would hever do for him to see her there. "Where am I to go?" she asked. "Outside here on the balcony," sald Arrelford. "There is no closet in the room and it is the only place. I will be with you in a moment." "But if he should come to the win- daw?"

"Well, relsford. "Don't mention having see me to anybody under any pretext an: stay here. You might be needed.

The room which had been the scene of these ous colloquies became silent save for the. continuous click- ing of the telegraph keys. Presently two messengers came back and took their positions us before, Hard on their:heels entered Captain Thorne. He wis in uniform, of course, and a paper was tucked in his belt. He walked rapidly down the room, acknowledged the salutes of the messengers, and stopped before the table. His quick scrutiny of the room as he advanced had shown him that there was no one present except the messengers and Lieutenant Foray. Foray glanced up, nodded, finished taking the dispatch which was on' the wires at the time, wrote it ont, put it in: his envelope, and then rose to his feet and saluted. *"Captain Thorne," he said. "Lieutenant Foray," replied Thorne, taking the order from his belt and handing it to the operator, "Order from the department?" asked Foray. "lI believe 0," briefly. Lieutenant Foray opened read fit. "They want me®to take a cipher dispatch over to the . president's house," he said as he finished. "Yes," said Thorne, moving to the vacant place at the table. He pulled the chair back a little, tossed his hat on the other table, and otherwise made himself at home. "l am ordered to stay here until you get back," he began casually, shoving the paper aside and stretch- ing his hand toward the key. "That's an odd thing, captain," be gan Lieutenant Foray dublously. "I understood that the president was meeting with the cabinet. In fact, Lieutenant Allison went over there to take some code work a moment ago. He must have gone home, I reckon." "Looks 'Tike it," said Thorne quiet ly. "If he is not at home you had better wait, "Yes," sald Foray, moving away, "I suppose I had better:wait for him. You will have to look out for Allison's wire, though, on_the other table. He was called over to the department." "Oh, Allison!" said Thorne -care- lessly. "Be gone long, do vou think?" he continued as he seated himself at the table and began to arfange the papers. "Well, you know how it ia. They generally whip around quite a while before they make up their minds what they want to do. I don't suppose they will trouble you much. It's as quiet as a churchrdown the river. Good night." "See here, Mr. Foray, wait a mo- ment. You had better not walk out and leave--no matter," continued Thorne, as the operator stopped and turned back. "It's none of my busi- ness, still if you want some good ad- vice, that {8 a dangerous thing te do." "What is it, captain?' asked Foray, somewhat surprised "Leave & cigar lying around an of- fice like that. Somebody might walk in any minute and take it'away. I can't watch your cigars all day." He picked up the cigar, and before Foray could prevent it; lighted it and. began to smoke. Foray laughed. "Help yourself, captain, and if there 18 any trokble you will find a revolver on the table." "I. see," said Thorne, "but what makes you think there is going to be grouble?" |, "Oh, well, there might be." "Been having a bad dream?" asked © captain nonchalantly. "No, but you never can teil. All forts of things are liable to happen in an office like this, and" . "That's right," said "Thorne, pulling away at his cigar, "you never can tell. But see here. If you never can tell when you are going to have trouble you had Potter take that gun along with you. I have one of my own." "Well," said the operator, "if you have 'onq of your own, I might as well." He took the revolver up and tucked it in his belt. "Look out for yourself. captain. Goodby. I will ve pack as soon as the president gives me that dispatch. That dispatch 1 have just finished is for the commissary gener- al's office, but.it can walt until the morning." "All right," sald Thorne, and the next! moment the operator turned away avhile the clicking of the key called Thorne to the table.

"Look Out for, Yourself, Captain." "No difference, take it to his house and 'wait until he comes." The instant the departing messen- ger left him alone in the room Thorne leaped to his feet and ran with cat- Hke swiftness to the door, opened it, and quickly but carefully examined the corridor to make sure that no one was thereon duty. Then he closed the door and turned to the nearest window, which he opened also, and looked out on the balcony, which he saw was empty. He closed the win- dow and came back to the table, un- buckling his belt and coat as he came. These he threw on the table. The coat fell back, and he glanced in the breast pocket to see that a certain document was in sight and at band, where he could get it quickly. Then he took his revolver, which he had previously slipped from his. belt to his hip pocket, and laid it down beside the instrument. After a final glance around him to see thit he was still alone and unob- rerved, he seized the key, on which he sounded a certain call. An expert telegraphér would have recognized it, a dash, four dots in rapid succession, then two dots together, and, then two more (-- .... .. ..), He waited a few moments, and when no answer came he signaled the call a second time, and after another longer wait he sent it a third time. After this effort he made a longer pause, and just as he had :about reached the end of his patience--he was In a fever of anxiety, for upen what happened in the next moment the failure or the success of the whole plan absolutely turned---the silent key clicked out an answer, repeating the same signal which he himself had made. The next moment he made a leap upon the key, but before he could send a single letter steps--were heard outside in the corridor. Thorne * released the key, leaned back in his chair, seized a match from the littie holder on the table and struck it, and when another messen- ger entered he seemed to be lazily lighting his cigar. He cursed in his heart at the inopportune arrival. An- other uninterrupted moment and he would have sent the order, but as table and handed Captain Thorne a message. "From the secretary of war, Cap- tain Thorne," he said saluting, "and he wants it to go out right away." "Here, here," said Thorne, as the messenger turned away, this?" He ran his fingers through the envelope, tore: it open; and spread out the dispatch. "Is that the secretary's signature? he asked. The messenger came back. "Yea, sir; 1 saw him sign it my- self. Iim his personal messenger." "Oh!" said Thorne, spreading the dispatch out on the table and 0 K.-ing it, "you saw him wign it Jourselt, did you™ "Yes, sir."

He could telegraph equally - well with either hand. He did not lay down his revolver on the table this time, but kept it in his right hand while the fingers of his left hand touched the button. He had scarcely made a dot or a dash when there was a sudden flash of light and the sound of an ex- plosion, that of a heavy revolver, mingled with the crash of shattered glass. Captain Thorne's fingers fell from the key and a jet of blood spurt- ed out upon the table and the papers. He rose to his feet with incredible swiftness, his revolver in his right hand, only to be confronted by Arrels- ford at the front window. The latter held in hig hand, pointed fairly and squarely at Thorne, the heavy service revolver with which he had just shot a swift motion with his right hand, but Arrelsford was too quick for him.
