To be strictly truthful, it wasn't as much a triumph for the S.S. a.' it was for Mary McXJIIens and, be-nul"-, we weren't at war with Germany at that time, no It had to bo kept rather dark. But Germany was at war with us. You remember 'the Black Tom explosion In August, 101C.? Well.

In April, when Dick "Walters returned from ihc Coast, the other men in the Service wore frankly sceptical as to whether thrro was an Von Ewald at all. They had come to look upon him as n myth, a bugaboo. They couldn't deny that there must be some guiding spirit to the Teutonic plots, but they rather favored the theory -that several men. rather than one. were to blame. Walters' Instructions were Juat like the rest to go to New York and stick on tho job until the German conspirator was apprehended. ".May no us one man,. may oc mere re half a dozen," the Chief admitted, "but we've got to nail 'em. The very fact that they haven't started anything of consequence since' tho early part of the year would appear to point t6 renewed activity very shortly, it's up to you and the other men alrcady'ln New York to prevent the success of any of' these plot." Walters listened patiently to all the dope that had been gathered and then figured, as had every .new man, that it was up to him to do a'littlc sleuthing of his own. The headquarters of the German agents was supposed' to be somewhere In1 Greenwich Village,- on one of those haht-crown alloys thnt always threatens to meet itself coming back But more than a score of Government operatives had combed that part of ' the town without securing a trace of anythJriK tangible. On the average of once a night the phono at headquarters would ring and some ono at the other- end would send in a hurry call for help up In the Bronx or in Harlem or pome other distant part of the city where they thought they had turned up a clue. Tho men on duty would leap into the machine that always waited at the curJ) nnd fracture every speed law over made only to find, when they arrived, that it was a false alarm. Goes "On His Own." Finally, after several weeks of that sort of thing, conditions commenced to get on Dick's nerves. "T'm golne to tackle this thing on my own," he announced. "Luck Is going to play as much of a part in landing Von Ewald as anything else and luck never hunted with more than one man. Goodbye, Good-bye, see you fellows later." But it -was a good many vecka August, to be precise bufcre the men in the Federal Building had the opportunity oppor-tunity of talking to Walters. He would report over the phone, of course, and drop down there every few days but new urn ai.ij iuhjj cnougn to nml out if thero was any real news or any orders from Washington. Then he'd disappear uptown. "DVk's sure got a grouch these days." was .tlie comment that went around after Walters had paid one oC his llylns visits. "YeX" grunted Barry, who was on fluty that night. Neither the VonEwaU case's got on" his nerves or he's" found a girl that can't see him." Neither supposition missed the mark very f,ir. Walters was getting sick and tired of. the apparently fruitless chase after an elusive German. Ho had never been known to flinch in the face of danger often went out of his way to find it' in fac but this constant search for a man whom nobody knew, a man -of whom there wasn't the slightest' description, de-scription, was nervo-racklng. to say tlio least. Then, too, ho had met Mary Mc-Xllless. Mc-Xllless. Cupid in a Library. He'd Avandcrcd Into the Public Library one evening Just before closing time and, like many another man; had fallen ictlm to Mary's red hair and Mary's Irish eyes. But a brick wall was a soft proposition compared to Mary Mc-XMcse. Mc-XMcse. fnubblng good-looking young men who thought that tho tailors were missing an excellent model was part of the day's work with the little library girl though she secretly admitted to herself that this one was a bit Above the average. Didn't pet a rlso that night, though, or for some day after. Every evening at seven found him at the desk over which Miss MeN'llless presided, framing some almost Intelligent question about books In order to protons; the conversation. conver-sation. Mary would answer politely and that was all. But, almost Imperceptibly, a bond of friendship sprang up between thorn. Maybe it was the fact that Dick's mother had been Irish, too, or possibly It was becaus he admitted to hlmseir that this girl w different from the rest and. admitting It. laid the foundation founda-tion for a deep-souled r aspect that ceMldn"t help but show In his manner. Wtthln the month Dick wa taking her home and in six weeks they were good pals, humming around to queer out-of-the-way restaurants and planning plan-ning outings which Dick, in his heart, knew could never material!:? not until. Von Ewald had been , run to cover,'' at' any rate. Several times Mary tried to find out her companion's profession diplomatically, diplomatic-ally, of .course; but nevertheless she was curious. Naturally, Dick couldn't tell her. :.Safrl-he had 'itest finished a Job on the Coast and was taking a vacation in New York." But Mary had sense enough to know that he wasn't at leisure. Also that he was working on something that kept his mind constantly active for several tlme3 he had excused hlmaehT In a hurry ami then returned, anywhere from half, an hour toaii hour later, with a rather crestfallen expression. After they had reached the "Dick and Mary" stage she. came right out one night and asked him. "Hon." he told her, "that's one thing that I've cot to keep from you for awhile. It's nothing that- you would be ashamed of. though, but something lh.it will make you mighty proud. At. least," he added. "It'll make 'ou proud if T don't fall down on the Job almighty hard. Meanwhile, all I can dp 15 to a3k you to trust me. Will you?" The t!is of her lingers rested on the back of his hand for Just a moment told him. "From tho way you look, you need a little comforting." 'I do that."" he admitted. "Don't make me wait any longer than you have to." and hp amused himself by glancing over the late seekers after knowledge. When they had finally seated themselves them-selves In a cosy corner of a littlo restaurant res-taurant in the upper Forties. Dick threw caution to the winds and told Mary all about his troubles. "I haven't the least business to do it." he, confessed, "and if the Chief found !t out I'd be bounced so fast that it would make my head swim. But. in the first place. I want you to marry me. and I know you wouldn't think of doing that unless you knew something s more about me." There was Just the flicker of a smile around Mary's mouth ..is she said, almost al-most perfunctorily, "No, of course not!" But her intuition told her that this wasn't the time to joke and, before Wallers could go on. slip added. "I know you well enough. Dick, not to worry about that end of it." So Walters told her everything from the beginning and it didn't take more than five minutes at that. Outside of the fact that his people lived in D;s Moines, that he had been in the Secret Service for eight years and that he them. The man who made them evidently evi-dently wasn't quite sure of his ground. Rut there wasn't a thing about the bombs themselves that would provide any indication of where they came from." "The man who made them must have had a pretty thorough knowledge of chemistry." Mary mused. "Mighty near perfect," admitted Wallers. "At least six exploded on time and, from what I understand, they were loaded to the muzzle with a mixture mix-ture that no one but an expert would dare handle." "And," continued Mary, with Just a hint of excitement in her voice, '.'the bomb-maker would continue to investigate investi-gate the subject. He would want to get tho latest Information, the most recent books, the " "What arc you driving at?" Walters Interrupted. "Just this." and Mary leaned across tho table so that th-re was no possibility possi-bility of being overheard. "We girl. havo a good deal of time on our hands, so wo got Into tho habit of making conjectures and forming theories about the 'regulars' the peoplo wbo come Into the Library often enough for us to know them by sight. Tho Shelf 45 Clue. "Up to a month ago there was a man who dropped Into the Reference Boom nearly every day to consult books from Shelf 43. Naturally he came up to my dask and, as he usually arrived during the slack periods. I had plenty of time to study him. Maybe It was because 1 had been reading Lombroso and the constant reference to books on explosives aro certainly worth looking into. What name did this man give?" Tho Trail Opens. "Name," sho corrected. "I don't recall re-call wliat'they were or tho addresses, either. But it would be easy to. find them on the cards. Wo don't have very many calls for books from Shelf '13." "It doesn't matter, though." nnd Walters slipped back into his disconsolate disconso-late mood. "He wouldn't leave a lead as open as that, of course." "No, certainly not," agreed Mary. "But the last time he was thero he asked for Professor Stevens' new book. Tt hadn't come in then, but 1 told him we expected it shortly, f-'o. uiiIksh you men have scared him off. he'll be bock in a day or two possibly in a. now disguise. dis-guise. Why don't you sec the Librarian, get a place as attendant In the Reference Refer-ence Room and l'fl tip you off the instant in-stant I spot that pointed ear. That's ono thing he can't hide!" The next morning thera was a new attendant In the Reference Room. No one knew -where he came from and no one save the Librarian and Mary McNillesa knew what he was there for. because his principal occupation appeared ap-peared to bo lounging around inconspicuously incon-spicuously in the neighborhood of the Information Desk. There he stayed for three days, wondering whether this clue, like all the rest, would dissolve Into thin air. About 5 o'clock on thp afternoon of the third day a man strolled up to Mary's desk and asked If Professor Stevens' book had como In yet. It was Slip' -vi ! ' CAREFULLY ARRANGING HER HAIR AT THE BACK OF HER NECK A SIGNAL WHICH HAD BEEN AGREED UPON. before sho said: "Ton know . I will. Dick" and neither of them mentioned the subject from that time on. Tho Black Tom's Blast. On the night of the Black Tom ox-plosion, ox-plosion, early In August, Dick didn't show up at the Library at the usual hour and. while this didn't worry Mary, because It had happened several times before, she began to bo annoyed when three nights passed the same way. Of course, sho had no way of knowing that the Serx-ice had received a Up from a stool-pigeon on the pay-roil of the Now York police force that "a bunch of Germans were planning a big explosion of some kind" Just a few hours before the oarth rocked with the force of the blow-up In Jersey. Every Government operative In the city had been Informed of the rumor, but few of them had taken it seriously and not one had any reason to expect that the plot would culminate so close to New York. But the echo of the first blast had hardly died away bsforo there were a dozen agents on the spot, weaving a network around the entire district All they got for thHr pains, however, inrera a few suspect who very evidently dMn't know a th'nr- So It was a very tired and disgusted Dick who entered the Library four nhrhts later and almost shambled up to U-irj-n dek.

A Woman's Reasoning. , "The wholo thing," he concluded, "came to a, head the other flight the night I didn't show us. We knew that something was going to break, somewhere, some-where, but we couldn't discover where until It was too lato to prevent the explosion across the river. Now that they've gotten away with that, they'll probably lay their lines for something even bigger." "Well, now that I've told you. what d'you think?" "You mean you'd like to marry me?" Mary asked wjth a smile. "I don't know how to put It any plainer." Dick admitted and what followed fol-lowed caused the waiter to wheel around and suddenly commence dusting dust-ing off a table that already was bright enouch to ece your face In. "There wasn't the slightest clue loft after the Black Tom affair?" Mary asked. a she straightened her hat. "Not one.

Apparently he wasn't In the least like tho other man in anything eavo height but nolthcr of his cars had any lobes to speak of and the top of them was pointed! When he returned the-book I looked him over pretty thoroughly and came to the conclusion that, in spite of the fact that his general appearance differed entirely from the other man's, they were really one and the same!" "But what," grumbled Walters, "baa that to do with the Black Tom explosion?" explo-sion?" "The last time this man came to the Libra ry. said Mary, "was two days before be-fore the night you -failed to arrive two days before the explosion. And Do you know what books arc kopt on Shalf ?" "No. What?" "The latest works on the chemistry of explosive!" Walters sat up with a Jerk that threatened to overthrow the table. "Mary.'' he said in a whisper. "I've a hun.-h that you've succeeded where all the rest of f-11 down! The disguises reposing at that moment on Shelf 43. as Mary well knew, but she said she'd see and loft the room, carefully arranging ar-ranging her hair at the back of her neck with her left hand a signal which she and Dick had agreed upon the preceding evening. Before sho returned the new attendant attend-ant had vanished, but Dick Walters, in his usual garb, was loitering around tho only entrance to tha Roforenct Room, watching the suspect out of the corner of his oye. "I'm sorry." Mary reported, "but the Stevens' book won't bs in until tomorrow," to-morrow," and she was barely abio to keep the anxiety out of hor votes s she spoke.
