Show I ! . ' THE RICH COUNTY NEWS, RANDOLPH. UTAH K" AH, SENORITA!" Synopsis In a New York jewelry tore Philip Severn, United States consular agent, notices a small box which attracts him. He purchases It Later he discovers In a secret compartment a writing giving a clew to a revolutionary movement In this country ostensibly seeking the overthrow of the Chilean government, but evidently International In character and in any event threatening the welfare of the United States The writer mentions a rendezvous and Severn, temporarily at leisure, determines to investigate on his own account. CHAPTER I Continued. 2 The whole affair looked hopeless. About all I could do would be to send the tom note to the proper authorities to Washington, with a statement of how It came Into my possession, and let them dispose of the mutter in any way they deemed best 1 'wrote such a letter carefully on hotel stationery, and went down to mall It in the 'lobby. Before disposing of it In the mailbox 1 encountered the manager, Burke, and stopped for a word. We were still talking when a bellboy came up hurriedly with a message. Burke turned. What is It George? That Gans street party is on the wire, sir.1 Oh, all right Excuse .me, Severn, but Ive been trying to get connection for an hour. , But wait a minute, my veins tingling. Did he say Gans street7 Where is that? There is no such name in the city directory. Gans! Why, over to Jersey. Yes, Im for the full extent of the block, until the saloon on the further corner came into view. Its gleaming hospitality Invited me, and I strolled along the opposite walk, my .coat collar turned up to shut out the drizzle, and finally crossed over to Where I could peer In through the dingy windows. The man behind the bar was unmistakably Polish, and of no high type, and at first 1 saw no other occupants of the place except two roughly dressed men at a table just inside, who were playing cards silently. 'The room wase ean enough, and quiet, yet I felt no Inclination to enter. Those were not fellows it would be safe to question, and I would have turned away, but at that instant 1 perceived the Indistinct figure of a young woman In the further corner, sitting beside a table alone. Her presence stimulated my curiosity. She appeared to be young, not badly dressed, and her being In such a place unattended rendered her of some interest. It surely could do no harm If I dropped In for a sandwich and a glass of beer. I crowed to the bar, furtively watchful, but no one except the proprietor apparently paid the slightest attention to my entrance. The two men never glanced up from their cards, and the girl for she was scarcely more merely turned her head and stared at me without interest. I spoke to the barman in English. We exchanged, a few words his own speech coming. thrust the unmalled letter Into my pocket, and sat down, staring at the crowd in the lobby, but entirely indifferent to their presence. Here at least was an opening, a chance Gans street was in Jersey City. Then It was not all a dream. I would at least look over the ground before I gave up In despair, for I had stumbled upon a way out of the blind alley Gans street, Jersey City. 1 ' and a Woman. was late in the afternoon, the day dark, with a chilly wind blowing off It closed. ' v To all outward appearances the place had been unoccupied tor months, and perhaps years. From the sidewalk it was impossible to gain any glimpse within. Only one discovery served to convince me that I might be nn .the right track that I had not been .entirely deceived.

What a place to Whatever hide arms for shipment doubt I may have felt regarding my venture vanished In the presence of that unusual name. This was unquestionably the place named In the letter as a rendezvous; here was where the recipient of that letter was to go and receive Instructions; where he was to use the mysterious raps, and the countersign Cervantes, In order to gain admittance. The knowledge that I was actually upon the threshold of such a discovery brought with it a determination not to lose the advantage. But what could I do? What further stops might be safely taken alone?

The first policeman encountered gave me all necessary directions, so that I alighted from a street car within a block of my destination. A saloon on the upper corner of the 'block furnished me the necessary clew, and, using it as a marker, I succeeded in tracing back until satisfied J had thus It was an abansafely located 876. doned factory, built of brick, ,two stories high, evidently extending over considerable ground at the rear, .but with a frontage not to exceed forty feet.

Five six blocks. It is a dark, bad , way. He moved back toward the bar, apparently satisfied with his examination of me, as well as his explanation. I wondered grimly' why he had taken the trouble to tell me all this, and ordered another glass of beer as an excuse to linger there a while longer. What was the party like who was to call for the girl? 1 did pot have" to linger long to gratify my curiosity. The side door opened silently, and a man Stepped briskly inside, shaking the raindrops from his coat as he greeted the barman cheerily. A ditty night, Jans, he said, glancing swiftly about, his eyes sweeping over me sharply. Business not very good. 1 suppose? , Dead. Jts no good now any more, With all the factories closing up because of (he war. Just some salesman drops In for a beer. TJiat makes me , nothings. , The newcomer laughed, evidently put quite at ease by this quick explanation. I was watching him. A rather thick-se- t musfellow with a turned-utache and a disfiguring scar on one cheek, w hieli gave to his eye a peculiar expression. Watching the fellow I must have missed some signal, for he whirled about suddenly and confronted the girl, who had already risen to her feet and stood expectantly, one hand yet resting on the table. Ah, senorita! You were waiting for me to come, he exclaimed. Yet I have not kept you long. Oh, no, she answered quietly In Spanish, her voice so low the words barley carried to where I sat You were delayed? A car blockade at the wharf. No, thank you, Jans, nothing tonight. You would go, senorita? There can be nothing to remain longer here for, surely. I watched them disappear through the side door, marking his grasp on her arm aiyl her quick glance asl'de Into his face. There had been something wrong about this meeting, something undeniably awkward and constrained. These two were not what e friends they pretended to be meeting incidentally to walk home together. They were strangers, coming together there for the first time by appointment. Neither had previously known the other. I had even detected fear, doubt, in the expression of the girls I Could Peer In Through the Dingy Window. very broken while he prepared the sandwich, and the only thing unusual I noticed was the passage of a slight signal between him and the woman across the room.

No; Boston has always been my face. Yet I dare not move, or attempt to follow them. I could only sit quietly, my- - eyes on the window fronting the street. I watched intently, but no shadows passed that way the two had not turned down Gans street My mind worked rapidly as I sat there motionless, afraid to make the slightest move lest It arouse suspicion. Whatever the object of the meeting might be, Jans was more or less In--, volved. He had signaled to the girt twice, and his words, however innocent they may have sounded, must have brought a warning to the man. Beyond doubt he had questioned me with the distinct purpose of thus discovering why I had drifted Into the place. I dismissed utterly his statement that the young woman was his niece her very appearance gave that the lie. Something was wrong, perhaps not criminal, perhaps to no way associated with the affair which had brought me Into that neighborhood, and yet suspiciously wrong, and I felt inexorably driven to find put what it all meant. I finished my ,beer slowly, and then selected a cigar from the case and lit it deliberately. Jans leaned over the bar, speaking confidentially, and I had to remain, although I cursed inwardly at the delay. Yet I broke away at last assured that I had finally lulled every suspicion to rest and passed out through the front door.
