HILE motoring with his friend, Arnold Nealis, a wealthy young clubman, Stewart Lansing, becomes interested in an auburn-haired young woman they meet on the road driving a swift roadster bearing the license number 31754. Later at the Army and Navy Club Lansing hears Griscom, a secret service man, speak of such a young woman as a possible spy for a foreign government. Happening to catch sight of the car again, he follows it out on Long Island to a road-house, which he finds is about to be raided by Griscom and his men. Assuming a waiter’s garb he contrives to get the girl away, and on the trip back to town learns that her name is Helen Granger. After an exciting fight with her friends, Count Apponnetti and Baron Rimini, Lansing goes to Newport to visit Nealis, whose father and mother are giving a dance to an- nounce the engagement of their daughter Dorothy to Captain Granger of the army. This proves to be none other than Helen’s brother Jack. Helen herself is there, and Cupid is very busy, for she and Lansing become engaged. Then she tells him that she has agreed to pose for a motion-picture concern, with whom she has made a contract for $50,000, and must carry out an agreement to enact a spy at a fort in the harbor on the morrow. Lansing pretends to believe all is right, but has reason to feel that it is not. So feigns a head- ‘ache at the dance, and makes his way to a friend, Lieutenant-Commander Dart, at the mili- tary station on Goat Island, whom he enlists in his service. Meantime Helen, worried over Lan- sing, is told by Nealis, in a clumsy way, to help his friend out, that he is drunk, whereupon she asks her brother to take her at once back to the fort. <r 3 = CHAPTER XIV. and superstructure protruded from above the gray waves of the harbor.
