Alcatrante where he was stopping, and have waited there. But Mr. Alcatrante was playing golf at Wheaton, and Mr. Poritol seems to have thought that he must go straight to him. He cannot escape from being spectacular, you see. "He ran out through the western suburbs, putting on more and more speed. Meantime I set a detective on the track of the car. That is how I learned what I am now telling you.
"You shall see, my young friend." "Doubtless. But let me tell you one thing; if anything happens to me, my friends will know where to look for the criminal." Alcatrante snarled. "Don't be too sure " "If necessary," continued Orme, "a word to certain persons as to the commission for building warships Five hundred thousand, is it not? by the new arrangement in gold "
"Well," said Orme, "this is beyond me. That five-dollar bill seems to be very much desired by different groups of persons." Alcatrante nodded. "I am not sure," he said slowly, "but that it would ease young Poritol's mind if you would place the bill in my hands for safekeeping. Not that he mistrusts you, Mr.
He went on to describe his efforts to get free from Alcatrante. "And you were under the table in Arima's room," she exclaimed, when he had finished. "I was there; but I couldn't see you, Girl. And you seemed to doubt me." "To doubt you?" "Don't you remember? You said that no American had the papers; but you added, unless "
The job was by no means perfect, but it was not likely to be detected. At that moment Alcatrante raised his voice and said, still in French: "You are sure, then, that this will not only delay the game, but end it." "Quite sure," said the Japanese. "Unless the documents are signed before midnight to-night nothing can be done for sometime. We have the Germans fixed.
"Because only a lucky intervention has saved you from the murder of a young lady and myself." "You are exaggerating, my dear sir." Alcatrante laughed. "Is it your custom to lock people into air-tight chambers?" "Air-tight?" Alcatrante was clearly disconcerted. "I did not suppose that it was air-tight. Also, I did not dream that the young lady was there. But this game is a serious game, Mr. Orme.
He wore a long frock coat and carried a glossy hat, and his eyes were framed by large gold spectacles. "This is the Senhor Alcatrante," explained Senhor Poritol. The newcomer bowed with suave dignity. "Senhor Alcatrante? The name is familiar," said Orme, smiling. Poritol assumed an air. "He is the minister from my country to these United States." Orme understood.
At the report of the conversation between Alcatrante and the Japanese concerning the commissions on ships, he had leaned forward with especial attention. And now, after a few moments of thought, he said: "The Japanese minister we can handle. As for Alcatrante, I must see to it that he is recalled and Poritol." "Poor little Mr. Poritol!" exclaimed the girl.
"I think, Senhor Alcatrante" he uttered the name distinctly, knowing that the South American probably did not wish himself identified "I think that, if the boy will take the car almost to the bottom, the starter will help you." There was a chorus of seconds to this suggestion. The boy pulled the lever and let the car descend slowly, while Alcatrante continued to exclaim.
His look was both perplexed and admiring. "Do you mind telling me how you happened to come to this place?" he asked. She answered indifferently: "Supposing that the Japanese had stolen the papers, I searched Maku's room at our house. There was a torn envelope there, with the name 'Arima' printed in the corner." Alcatrante bowed. "You are cleverer than most Americans, my dear young lady," he said.
