SYNOPSIS.
Count (11 Roslnl. the Italian nmba»-
s&dor. la at dinner with diplomats when
• messenger summons him to the em-
bassy, where a beautiful young woman
asks for a ticket to the embassy ball.
The ticket Is made out In tho name of
Miss Isabel Thorne. Chief Campbell of
the secret service, and Mr. Grimm, his
bead detective, are warned that a plot la
brewing In Washington, and Grimm goes
to the state ball for Information. His at-
tention Is called to Miss Isabel Thorne,
who with her companion, disappears. A
shot Is heard and Senor Alvarez of the
Mexican legation. Is found wounded.
Orlmm Is assured Miss Thorne did It; he
visits her, demanding knowledge of the
affair, and arrests Pietro Petrozlnnl. Miss
Thorne visits aq old boinb-maker, and they
discuss a wonderful experiment. Fifty
thousand dollars Is stolen from the office
of Senor Rodriguez, the mln’ster from
Venezuela, and while detectives are In-
vestigating the robbery Miss Thorne ap-
pears as a guest of the legation. Grimm
accuses her of the theft; the money Is
restored, but a now mystery occurs In
the disappearance of Monsieur Bolssegur
the French ambassador. Elusive Miss
Thorne reappears, bearing a letter which
•ta*aa that the ambassador has been kid-
naped and demanding ransom. The am-
bassador returns and again strangely dis-
appears. Eater he Is rescued from an old
bouse In the suburbs. It Is discovered
that Pietro Petrozlnnl shot Senor Alvarez
and that he Is Prince d'Abruzzl. Grimm
figures In a mysterious Jail delivery. He
orders both Mies Thorne and d’Abruzzl
to leave tho country; they are conveyed
to New York and placed on a steamer
but return.
CHAPTER XX—(Continued.)
"Your paper?” he inquired courte-
ously.
Mr. Orlmm was still gazing dream-
ily out of the window.
"I beg pardon.” Insisted the new-
comer pleasantly. He folded the pa-
per once and replaced It on the table.
One hand lingered for just the frac-
tion of a moment above Mr. Qrlmm's
coffee-cup.
Aroused by the remark, Mr. Grimm
glanced around.
“Oh, thank you,” he apologized
hastily. “I didn’t hear you at first.
Thank you.”
The new-comer nodded, smiled and
passed on, taking a seat two or three
tables down.
Apparently this trifling courtesy had
broken the spell of reverie, for Mr.
Orlmm squared around to the table
again, drew his coffee-cup toward him,
and dropped In the single lump of
sugar. He Idly stirred it for a mo-
ment, as bla eyes turned again toward
the open window, then he lifted the
tiny cup and emptied It.
Again he sat motionless for a long
time, and thrice the new-comer, only
a few feet away, glanced at him nar-
rowly. And now, it seemed, a pe-
culiar drowsiness was overtaking Mr.
Orlmm. Once he caught himself nod-
ding and raised his head with a jerk.
Then he noticed that the arc lights In
the street were wobbling curiously,
and he fell to wondering why that sin-
gle flame sparkled at the apex of the
capltol dome. Things around him
grew hazy, vague, unreal, and then,
as If realizing that something was the
matter with him, he came to his feet.
He took one step forward Into the
space between the tables, reeled, at-
tempted to steady himself by holding
on to a chair, then everything grew
black about him, and he pitched for-
ward on the floor. His face was dead
white; his fingers moved a little, nerv-
ously, weakly, then they were still.
Several people rose at the sound
of the falling body, and the new-comer
hurried forward. His coat slepve
caught the empty demi-tasse, as he
stooped, and swept it to the floor,
where it was shattered. The head
waiter and another came, pell-mell,
and those diners who had risen came
more slowly.
“What’s the matter?” asked the
head waiter anxiously.
Already the new-comer was support-
ing Mr. Orlmm on his knee, and flick-
ing water In his face.
“Nothing serious, I fancy,” he an-
swered shortly. “He’s subject to
these little attacks.”
“What are they? Who Is be?”
The stranger tore at Mr. Grimm's
collar until It came loose, then he
fell to chafing the still hands.
“He is a Mr. Grimm, a government
employee—I know him,” he answered
again. “I Imagine It’s nothing more
serious than indigestion.”
A little knot had gathered about
them, with offers of assistance.
“Walter, hadn't you better send for
a physician?” some one suggested.
“I'm a physician,” the stranger put
In Impatiently. "Have some one call
a cab, and I’ll see that he's taken
home. It happens that we live In the
same apartment house, just a few
blocks from here.”
Obedient to the crisply-spoken di-
rections, a cab was called, and five
minutes later Mr. Orlmm, still Insen-
sible, was lifted Into It. The stranger
took a seat beside him, the csbby
touched bis horse with a whip, and
the vehicle fell Into the endless, mov-
ing line.
CHAPTER XXI.
A Slip of Paper.
When the light of returning con-
sciousness finally pierced the black
lethargy that enshrouded him, Mr.
Orlmm'a mind was a chaos of vagrant,
absurd fantasies; then slowly, slowly,
realization struggled back to Its own,
and he came to know things. First
was the knowledge that he was lying
flat on hie back, on a couch. It
seemed; then, that he was In the dark
—an utter, abject darkness. And final-
ly came an overwhelming sense of al-
ienee.
For a while be lay motionless, with
not even the movement of an eye-lash
to Indicate consciousness, wrapped In
a delicious languor. Gradually this
passed and the feeble flutter of his
heart grew Into a steady, rhythmic
beat. The keen brain was awaken-
ing; he was beginning to remember.
What had happened? He knew only
that In some manner a drug had been
administered to him, a bitter dose
tasting of opium; that speechlessly,
he had fought against It, that he had
risen from the table in the restaurant,
and that he had fallen. All the rest
was blank.
With eyes still closed, and nerve-
less hands Inert at his sides he listen-
ed, the while he turned the situation
over In speculative mood. The waiter
had administered the drug, of course,
unless—unless It had been the courte-
ous stranger who had replaced the
newspaper on the table! That thought
opened new fields of conjecture. Mr.
Orlmm had no recollection of ever
having seen him before; and he bad
paid only the enforced attention of
politeness to him. And why had the
drug been administered? Vaguely.
Incoherently, Mr. Orlmm Imagined
that In some way It'bad to do wij.h the
great International plot of war in
which Miss Thorne was so delicate
and vital an instrument.
Where was he? Conjecture stopped
there. Evidently he was where the
courteous gentleman In the restaurant
wanted him to be. A prisoner? Prob-
ably. In danger? Long, careful at-
tention to detail Work In the Secret
Service had convinced Mr. Grimm
that he was always in danger. That
was one reason—and the best—why
he bad lain motionless, without so
much as lifting a finger, since that
first glimmer of consciousness had en-
terred his brain. He was probably
under scrutiny, even In the darkness,
and for the present it was desirable to
accommodate any chance watcher by
remaining apparently unconscious.
And so for a long time he lay, list-
ening. Was there another person In
the room? Mr. Grimm’s ears were
keenly alive for the inadvertent shuf-
fling of a foot; or the sound of breath-
ing. Nothing. Even the night roar
of the city was missing; the silence
”1 Imagine It’s Nothing More 8erloue
Than Indigeation.”
waa oppressive. At last he opened his
eyes. A pall of gloom encompassed
him—a pall without one rift of light.
His flngera, moving slowly, explored
the limits of the couch whereon be
lay.
Confident, at last, that wherever he
was, he was unwatched, Mr. Orlmm
was on the point of concluding that
further Inaction was useless, when his
straining ears caught the faint grating
of metal against metal—perhaps the
Insertion of a key In the lock. His
bands grew still;' his eyes closed. And
after a moment a door creaked slight-
ly on its hinges, and a breath of cool
air Informed Mr. Orlmm that that
open door, wherever It was, led to the
outside, and freedom.
There was another faint creaking
as the door was shut. Mr. Grimm's
nerveless hands closed Involuntarily,
and his lips were set together tightly.
Was It to be a knife thrust In the
dark? If not—then what? He ex-
rected the flare of a match; Instead
there was a soft thread, and the rustle
of skirts. A woman! Mr. Orlmm’s
caution was all but forgotten in his
surprise. As the steps drew nearer
his clenched Angers loosened; he
waited.
Two hands stretched forward In the
dark, touched him simultaneously—
one on the face, one on the breast. A
singular thrill ahot through him, but
there was not the flicker of an eye or
the twitching of a flr.ger. The woman
—It was a woman—seemed now to be
bending over him, then he heard her
drop on her knees beside him, and she
pressed an Inquiring ear to his left
side. It was the heart test.
“Thank Ood!” she breathed softly.
It was only by a masterful effort
that Mr. Orlmm held himself limp and
nert, for a strange fragrance was en-
veloping him—a fragrance he well
knew.
The hand* were fumbling at hta
breast again, and there waa the sharp
crackle of paper. At first ha didn't
understand, then he knew that tha
woman had pinned a paper to the
lapel of his coat. Finally she straight-
ened up, and took two atepa away
from him, after which came a pause.
Hla keenly attuned ears caught her
faint breathing, then the rustle of her
skirts as shs turned back. She was
leaning over him again—her lips
touched hts forehead, barely; again
there was a quick rustling of skirts,
the door creaked, And—alienee, deep,
oppressive, overwhelming silence.
Isabel! Was he dreaming? And
then he ceased wondering and fell to
remembering her kiss—light as str-
and the softly spoken “Thank Ood!”
She did care, then! She had under-
stood, that day!
The kiss of a woman beloved Is •
splendid heart tonic. Mr. Orlmm
straightened up suddenly on the
couch, himself again. He touched the
slip of paper which she had pinned to
his coat to make sure it was not all a
dream, after which he reca'led the
fact that while he had heard the door
creak before she went out he had not
heard It creak afterward. Therefore,
the door was open. She had left It
open. Purposely? That was beside
the question at the moment.
And why—how—was she In Wash-
ington? Pondering that question, Mr.
Grimm’s excellent teeth clicked sharp-
ly together and he rose. He knew the
answer. The compact was to be
signed—the alliance which would ar-
ray the civilized world In arms. He
had failed to block that, as he thought.
If Miss Thorne had returned, then
Prince Benedetto d'Abruzzl, who held
absolute power to sign the compact
for Italy, France and Spain, had also
returned.
Stealthily feeling his way as he
went, Mr. Grimm moved toward the
door leading to freedom, guided by
the fresh draft of air. He reached
the door—It was standing open—and
a moment later stepped out Into the
star-lit night. It was open country
here, with a thread of white road Just
ahead, and farther along a fringe of
shrubbery. Mr. Orlmm reached the
road. Far down It, a pin point In the
night, a light flickered through Inter-
lacing branches. The tall lamp of an
automobile, of course!
Mr. Orlmm left the road and skirt-
ed a sparse hedge in the direction of
the light. After a moment he heard
the engine of an automobile, and saw
a woman—barely discernible—step
Into the car. As it started forward
he staked everything on one bold
move, and won, his reward being a
narrow sitting space In the rear of
the car, hidden from Its occupants by
the tonneau. One mile, two miles,
three miles they charged through the
night, and still he clung on. At last
there came relief.
“That’s the place, where the lights
are—Just ahead.”
There was no mistaking that voice
raised above the clamor of the engine.
The car slackened speed, and Mr.
Orlmm dropped off and darted behind
some convenient bushes. And the first
thing he did there was to light s
match, and read what was written on
the slip of paper pinned to his coat.
It was, simply:
“My Dear Mr. Grimm:
“By the time you read this the com-
pact will have been signed, and your
efforts to prevent It, splendid as they
were, futile. It Is a tribute to you
that It was unanimously agreed that
you must be accounted for at the time
of the signing, hence the drugging In
the restaurant; it was only an act of
kindness that I should come here to
see that all was well with you, and
leave the door open behind me.
“Believe me when I say that you
are one man In whom I have never
been disappointed. Accept this as my
farewell, for now I assume again the
name and position rightfully mine.
And know, too, that I shall always
cherish the belief that you will re-
member me as
"Your friend,
“ISABEL THORNE.
”P. S. The prince and I left ths
steamer at Montauk Point, on a tug-
boat."
Mr. Orlmm kissed the note twlcat
then burned it.

Appreciated the “Posie."
A pathetic Incident occurred In the
Waifs' school in Pittsburg. One of the
teachers brought a beautiful red rose
to school, which, bolding up before
the echolars, she asked, “Now, chil-
dren. how many of you know what
this Is?” Nearly every little one
shook hts bead, to Indicate Ignorance.
One small boy and a couple of little
girls piped out. with great Import-
ance, “It's a posie, please, ma'am."
But no one had ever heard of a rose.
Most of the children bad never seen
one before. The teacher put It In a
glass of water to preserve It, and
when school was dismissed each child
waa rendered supremely blissful by
the gift of a tiny petal. As they filed
out of the door, each little waif
clutched his treasure tightly In hie
small hand, while be murmured softly
to himself tho name, “Pltty wose, pit-

centuries. Once probubly the greatest

pf its Asiatic domain.
Its downfall began In 1683 when the

The Moslem Invasion rolled up to the
gates of Vienna. The fate of central
Europe hung In the balance, but, after
two months of siege, King John So-
bieskl, heading a Polish and German
army, went to the rescue and In a
heroic battle put the Turks tQ flight.
Austria, Poland and Venice made an
onslaught upon Turkey, following the
memorable conflict. They drove the
Turks out of Austria, Moldavia, Wal-
lachia and Morea in 1696 Peter the
Great wrested Azov from them and
the Austrians annihilated a Turkish
nrmy at Zenta. In the peace of Karlo-
witz, in 1699, Turkey was forced to
give up all of Hungary between the
Danube and the Thelss, to restore to
Poland a great part of the Ukraine
and to surrender Morea. In the early
part of the seventeenth century Tur-
key again captured Moldavia and
Morea. In 1715. however, they were
beaten by Prince Eugene of Austria
who forced them to give up a part of
Servla and Austria.
In 1737 Russia entered upon Its role
as a great assailant of the Ottoman
empire with the seizing of Azow and
the invasion of Crimea In 1768 Sul-
tan Mustapha III ventured a war on
Russia which proved disastrous Tur-
key was forced to renounce Its su-
zerainty over Crimea and the Tartar
territories In the region of the Black
Sea and to give Russia free naviga-
tion of Turkish waters. In 1787 a
fresh war between the two countries
broke out. Austria took a hand and
fresh disasters overtook the Ottoman
arms. Napoleon Bonaparte swept
down on the country eleven years la-
ter and wrested Egypt from the Sul-
tan’s grasp After this a six years'
war with Russia, ending In the treaty
of Bucharest in 1812, waa staged
Servla shortly afterward obtained a
partial freedom, which was followed
In 1827-29 by another war with Rus-
sia. In the peace of Adrianople In
1829 Turkey surrendered to Russia the
northeastern roastland of the Black
Sea. In 1833 Russia forced upon Tur
key the treaty of Unklar Skelessl
which closed the Black Sea to the ves-
sels of war of all nations save Rus-
sia.

In 1840 the quadruple alliance alone

only through the Intervention of Eng

massacres of Christians took place In
Bulgaria These were followed by the
deposing of the sultan. Abdul Aziz In
the same year 8ervla and Montenegro
declared war. but Turkey whipped
them
The greater powers then took a
stand A conference at Constantl-
powers stepped in. Great Britain
practically nullified Turkish sover-
eignty In Egypt In 1883 by establish-
ing a control there. In 1895-96 tens
of thousand of Christian Armenians
were massacred. The protests of Eu-
rope were of no avail. A rising of
the Christians followed a year later
in Crete and was the signal for long-
repressed hostilities In Greece. Greece
wuh forced to sue for peace, pay the
Turkish government an Indemnity of
$18,000,000 and make Important con-
cessions on the Graeco-Turkish fron-
tier.
Meanwhile, Crete was taken in
charge by Great Britain. Russia,
France and Italy and a settlement
was made in 1898 by which the su-
zerainty of Turkey was renewed. The
people of ancient Macedonia had long
been restive under Turkish control
and In 1903 there were bloody mass-
acres and conflicts over a large terri-
tory. The rivalry of Bulgaria and
Greece and the Influence of the great
powers have made a successful re-
volt difficult, however.
In the last thirty years Turkey has
been the scene of almost continual
warfare This culminated about two
years ago In the overthrow of Abdul
Hamid and the usurping of the throne
by the young Turks..
Trouble With Italy.
Tho quarrel between Turkey and
Italy over Tripoli arose out of Italy's
old desire to have possession of that
portion of the northern coast of Afri-
ca, a desire dictated by political rath-
er than commercial reasons Of the
old Roman colonies Egypt. Tunis, Al-
geria and Morocco have passed out of
the hands of the modern government
of the Italian peninsula and of the five
powers on the Mediterranean, Great
Britain. France, Spain, Italy and Aus-
tria. only the last two are without
bnse for their fleets on the south
shore.
Although the country has formed
a part of the Turkish empire since the
middle of the 16th century, until 1835
the authorities of the Sultan had long
been purely nominal. Then, after an
extended period, during which the
country was a stronghold of pirates,
an expedition was dispatched from
Constantinople and the state was
made a vilayet of the Ottoman em-
pire.
Formerly Tripoli was of high com-
mercial Importance as the gate to the
Interior, but since the Sudan has been
chiefly approached by way of the At-
lantic. Tripoli has dwindled In this re-
spect and her commercial value today
rests chiefly on the fertile coast lands.
Italy and Turkey had a dispute In
April, 1908. over the refusal of Turkey
to permit Italian postofficea In Tur-
key's territory At the same time con-
siderable Irritation waa felt In Italy
over the murder of an Italian mission-
ary In Tripoli and the persecution by
the Ottoman authorities of natives
who had sold land to Italians Gov-
ernment circles In Rome had felt for
years that Turkey had been taking
advantage of the International situa-
tion to act In a high-handed manner
toward Italians and to show little re-
spect for Italian rights Italy pre-
pared at that lime to send a large
fleet lo Turkish waters, whereupon
Turkey Immediately withdrew all ob-
jections fo the postofflees and practic-
ally acknowledged the other Italian
claims with regard to the right of the
Italians freely to purchase property
on Turkish territory and wfth regard
also to coast navigation.
While Turkey yielded on the ques-
tion of the postofllces, the main rea-
son of diffidence, distrust and antag-
onism remained, ns the Sultan was
determined to do all In his power not
to yield Tripoli, with Europe's con-
sent. as a field for Italian expansion.
In virtue of the accord concluded by
the Marquis Vlscontl-Vennatl with
France, and afterward acknowledged
by all the powers. Italy, while re-
nouncing her Interest In Morocco, was
left free to exercise her Influence In
Tripoli, and thus she was In a posi-

For Honors at No-Tsu-Oh Carnival
In November—Some of Texas’
Beet Athletes.
Lovers of football will be given tho
opportunity or their lives for seeing
the most strenuous, hardly fought and
evenly matched game ever pulled off
on a Texas gridiron In the decisive
battle of athletes to take place be-
tween the teams of the Texas Uni-
versity and the State Agricultural and
Mechanical College at Houston during
the No-Tsu-Oh Carnival this year, No-
vember 13.
Both teams are made up of young
athletic glanta, trained In the prob-
lems and science of the great Ameri-
can college game. The University of
Texas team has year after year car-
ried off honors In Interstate games
wherein the best college teams in tha
South and West have been their op-
ponents.
Year after year the Agricultural and
Mechanlcaj Cqjtege team has enter-
tained a strong and aggressive am-
bition to score an unqualified victory
over the team of the senior institu-
tion. Until last year this ambition
has been continually and effectively
thwarted by the superior training
and strength of the Varsities.
Steadily, from year to year, the
junior institution has boon gaining
strength and skill. Every year the
latter team has proven harder and
harder to vanquish. Every lost bat-
tle has seen these young giants come
back the following year with In-
creased strength and newer, firmer
conviction that they are destined to
win, until lust year they scored their
first victory.
The question arising before the
friends of the Varsity team this year
is whether or not It can recover the
lost ground.
Certainly, It is admitted, the Var-
sity team hAS not been retrograding.
It merely has not made the advances
shown by the boys of College Station.
Both teamB have been developing
strength and science.
Tempting salaries are paid coaches
from the best colleges of the East and
North, Insuring the best of training
and the most modern and most effec-
tive tactics.
It is admitted that the game this
year will be a brilliant battle of men
whom the Greeks would have wildly
cheered. Models of physical form
and training, developed by careful
dieting, exercise and attention to all
the rules of physiology and gym-
nology, will line up on the gridiron,
forming a display of Ideal, physical
manhood and athletic strength hard to
assemble In one group anywhere In
the world.
Both sides will enter the game with
concentrated determination to win,
backed up with powerful strength,
skill and other requirements for the
perfect game of football.
Sporting editors from the big
papers over the country will be on
hand to report the game. Baseball
experts and representatives of the ath-
letic associations of the various col-
leges over the country will be on hand
to study the game from the stand-
point of scientific football playing.
Plenty of room for carriages and
automobiles will be provided. The
general appearance of the field In its
entirety will be one of spectacular and
Imposing galty. The hypnotism of Im-
mense crowds will be Impressive. It
Is safe to say that a multitude will
be on hand to see the game such as
has never before assembled for one
open field event In the State in the
past.
Various bands of music will be in-
terspersed at intervale among the
multitude to furnish music before the
game, at Intermissions and to express
the exultations of the crowds at bril-
liant plays made by the players. Both
colleges will have their bands along
to assist In this feature of animating
and re-splrltlng the members of their
teams.
Finally, there la one fact of which
each and every member of the gen-
eral public attending the game may
be assured, and that Is of a bona fide
contest. The Intense spirit of rivalry
existing between the contestants Is
a guaranty of thaL No shadow of s

“Yea, sir. I just drink U In.”
Another Important feature of the
Carnival this year will be a brass
band parade on Tuesday morning of
Carnival week. There will be eleven
bands In the city during tbe Carnival,
all of which will take part In this
big parade. Arrangements have al-
ready been made with eight bands and
negotiations are on with three others.
Those that have already been en-
gaged are as follows: lewis’ Mili-
tary bund, Thayer's Military band,
Woodman of the Wforld band of Hous-
ton, National Rice Growers’ band of
Bay City, First Infantry band, Lake
Charles, La.; Fourth Infantry band.
Cameron; El Carapo band, El Campo,
Texas, and Miller's Military band of
Galveston. Arrangements have also
been made for an orchestra of thirty
pieces. This will be a larger number
of bands than have ever been brought
' to the city for Carnival, and this fact
Inspired the Idea of holding a Mg
brass band parade In which all o|
them will take part.
