I hoped that you would get my note in time." "I found it on my return to the hotel. Hartzmann, well met." Von Mueller returned the older man's firm clasp. "It is some years...." "Years? What are they when old friends foregather," exclaimed Hartzmann. "Let us sit and talk." "Wait, wait," remonstrated von Fincke.
"Excellent!" and von Fincke beamed with pleasure. "I shall instigate strikes in the munitions factories," continued Hartzmann. "Tell me, how have you succeeded with the passports?" Von Fincke's expression changed. "Not so well as I hoped. The Secret Service are active in investigating all that are issued. It is difficult to circulate them under such espionage." "It is risky," agreed Hartzmann.
"Obviously Hartzmann neglected to give any key to his dispatch to Heinrich, and the latter must have been entirely in the dark as to the real meaning of the warning. Von Fincke, whom Hartzmann apparently relied on to enlighten Heinrich, is out of town." "Was it the operative's message to you about Hartzman which brought you here tonight?" asked Foster.
"There is not enough coal in California at present to supply the fleet the battleships and cruisers could not escape from attack, but might even be captured at the dock." "Have you learned where the fleet will be sent?" asked Hartzmann, watching the chauffeur narrowly. "It is to go to New York for a grand review, Herr Captain." "Ah, a mobilization?" "No, Herr Captain; I think not.
"A mule can fight on occasions," laughed von Mueller. "But not against trained men, backed up by field guns firing in one hour two hundred thousand shells carrying high explosives," boasted Hartzmann triumphantly. "Weapons such as these, von Mueller, alter the face of nature as well as the fate of nations." "Any further news tonight, Heinrich?" asked von Fincke. "No, Baron." The chauffeur saluted.
Spencer was a good tool, but sometimes too inquisitive; however, I shall not be sorry if Miss Whitney receives the full penalty for her crime." The two men regarded each other in silence for a brief second, then von Fincke added: "From reports which have reached me, I judge the mine is well laid, and Mexico will yet prove troublesome to her northern neighbor." "And useful to us," mused Hartzmann.
"The United States when angry with Germany will make war on Mexico." "Perhaps," skeptically, "but to me it appears intervention in Mexico will hang fire until ..." "Engineered," Hartzmann smiled meaningly.
I saw him turn pale, and such was his haste to leave the house that he did not wait to see that the paper burned when he threw it in the grate. Can you translate it for me, mademoiselle?" Smoothing out the telegram, Kathleen, with the maid intently peering over her shoulder, read the words it contained besides the address, in puzzled silence: Trenton, hurry. Hartzmann.
The reserve fleet will be missing." "Will the President review the fleet?" "It is so believed, Herr Captain." Von Fincke, who had been silently eyeing his companions, stood up. "Would that not give us an opportunity to bottle up the fleet in the North River by slipping down one of our biggest ocean steamers and sinking her in the channel?" "It might be done," but Hartzmann looked doubtful.
"They are the best propagandists in the country, and Senator Foster proves an able advocate of peace when urged by a woman." "He is a clever speaker," agreed Hartzmann. "Most men in public life have their uses. Have you nothing to report of the pernicious activities of the United States Government?" Without replying von Fincke pressed the button of his electric bell.
