Olive vvaa not to moot Gilbert Mer- ridew that night, however. The man who entered brought n menage that he was unable to bq preaent, nnd dc- . aplte her courage she waa glad of the respite. It would be much better for her to ihave aome further experience of the ' men among whom ahe had thus thrust herself before facing him, ro that she ’ might grow more nccustomcd to her itRRumed character. "Who Is this?" Olive naked Knrl, re ferring to tho new arrival, a well- dressed young fellow, with a face which would have been prepossessing had It not been for the sinister exprci •slon of the -yes. "Mawford's secretary, Abner Franks, an American. He lives with the boss at his chambers In Whitehall avenue." Here was another fact to be noted. It wai obviously the place where Mer rldew lived as Mawfnrd. and where the rest of the gang communicated with him. Olive watched Franks closely as Karl and Rosensteln and he held whispered conference. Presently he glanced round at her and a moment later crossed the room with Karl and held out hts hand. "Our comrade has told me the news, Frauleln. He Is a lucky man." , "Thank you, sir." she answered In broken English, and tried to look em barrassed. "He Is one of the best of us," he re plied, smiling. His smile waa like a S rlmaee and had the effect of making lm almost repulsive, for his mouth was large nnd the thin lips daaw away to the side while the under Jaw seem ed to clo,e up. revealing a set of ugly discolored fangs of teeth. "I have told M r.' Franks that you will help us, Rosa," said Karl. "I am sure we could not have a bet ter ally, Frauleln." said Franks, who had been closely scrutinising Olive the While. "I shall do my best,” she said. "Come to the table, Rosa, and we will tell you what has to be done," said Karl. They moved over together, and Franks explained the Instructions he had received from Oldeon Mawford. "Is not the Herr coming himself?" asked Olive. “So. He has Important business— our business." replied Franks. "It Is all arranged for you to go to the house tomorrow. You will go aa Olga Schmidt and you will be an under- housemaid." "But my character, my—" qnd aa If ahe could not explain herself easily In English she turned and spoke rapidly to Karl In German, that she would need to give a reference. "Oh. we’ve made that nil right." an swered Franks when this was trans lated to him. "Madame has done that, of course,” he added to Karl. “Madame? Who la Madame?” asked .Olive. . • "Madame Boncourt,” replied Franks. "But you apeak English, don’t you?” "Oh, yea. well, and understood; but not so well as my own language.” she answered with a smile. "well, what you have to do Is this: This minister will return from Berlin In about twp days and bring hack with him hla secretary, the Hon. John Fen wick. In the meantime you must get the run of the house." CROP ESTIMATE WILLJE ISSUED Southern States Association of Agricultural Commis sioners Meets. Columbia, S.

Chicago, Nov. 19.—The largest realty deal In the history of Chicago la re- vpaled by the statement of real estate agents that the Pennsylvania railroad Is about to construct a large passenger depot on the west side of the river on property which It has been purchasing quietly for some time. The aggregate value of the property purchased is said to amount to $2(,000,000. I ; , . Widow Couldn't RaeovOr. Washington, Nov. 19.—In the case of Elizabeth M.

What Is that?” And Olive crinkled up her brows In perplexity. "Find out everything that concerns Ihe way In which papers are brought to the house from the foreign office; who brings them: where thoy are taken; where the minister does the business relating to them, at what hours; whom he sees; whether he Is alone when ho reads them, and If not, who Is with him; how they are taken back to the office, and whether they are ever left In the house all night. You understand this?" "It is very simple.” declared Olive with a shrug. "A child could do It. I thought I was to get some papers.” "Oh. no. Those whlrh wc have to get are sure to be kept at the foreign office. But we have to get all this In formation In order to make our plans to find tho opportunity we need.'! Olive laughed lightly. ”1' thought there was something difficult to do,” she said to Kurl. "Dangerous, per haps; but this!” nnd she throw up her hnnds. "How long do 1 remain there?" ’’Until you have found out what we wish. You will have some time off, nnd then you can meet Karl and tell him. You won’t mind that part at any rate/ he added with his unpleasant smile. "I shall want some dress of a serv ant.” "That la all ready. A box will be sent to the house tomorrow afternoon. You will he nt the house, No. 220 Cromwell Gardens, South Kensington, nt 3 o'clock tomorrow, and will ask for Mrs. Qrlmston. Tell her you are Olga Schmidt, the new hnuaomutd; that you have Just come from Mndome Bon- court’s country house In I.lchrleld, trav eling up by the Great Northern rail way. You won't forget all thlS7" ’’I have memory," replied Ollye. "Ask for your box, and say you sent It on by the railway. You will find all you need In It. As for the rest, you must trust your own wits." Again Olive replied with a confident smile. "About a week ought to let you know all we nerd; nnd then you can pick a quarrel with the housekeeper and leave Instantly." This completed Olive’s Initiation Into the work assigned to her. and she re turned to her former sear while the three men spoke together again in low- tones. The completeness of the details sur prised her, as well as the rare with which everything had been thought out, even to the matter of her clothes. All nrranged In advance. Certainly this was evidence of a woman's hand In the plans; and she sat wondering who this .Madame Bortcottrt could be; how stie could have contrived to get a servant Into n house of the sort: and whether It could have been done without some aUt Inside the house Itself. She felt intense curiosity to see the woman who had done this and she re solved to qpestlon Karl at the earliest opportunity. After a time the man Franks crossed to her and Dade her good-night; re peating his congratulation upon her betrothal and adding that he consid ered they were almost as fortunate as Karl In having secured her aid. "Do this well. Frauleln, and there wilt be ample work for you In the fu ture. But I know .you will do your ut most for Karl's sake here. I shall tell Mr. Mawford the high opinion I have formed of our new- comrade." Karl himself was in high spirits at the result of the meeting; and as they returned to the little house In Brixton he was full of the success olive had scored. "There Is something I don’t under stand. Knrl." said Olive after a while. "Why Is that Mr. Franks so much bet ter dressed than the rest ? Has he more money? Where Is this )\’bltehall ave nue where he lives with Mr. Mawford? Is It a poor place }lke ours?” "It Is only dress. Rosa." he replied. "We all share alike In everything. But some of us must appear to be rich and live In good society to find the work for us all to do." "Do you really mean that you share everything—everything you ijgve?” ”1 will tell you. We once had a man with us. named Cooper. An American from Denver. A shrewd, clever man who put us on to a good many things In the old time In Chicago. We all liked him, too. But he went crooked at last. We found he was getting money, plenty of It, and keeping It to w"v U himself. Gideon Mawford found It out »• »• My Beet Friend.

"Well?" she asked as he paused. ’it wa* not well with him,” he an swered with a short, significant laugh. "We taxed him with it; he lied; we proved It; end—well, Gideon shot him. Since then, there has been no trouble of that sort, I can assure you.” Olive felt a chill at tho story and the tone In which ft was told; but she answered In a hard, unfeeling voice: "Served him right. He was a traitor. Hut 1 suppose you mean you share only the proceeds of your—of your work. Not what each gots In any other wnyT” “Oh. yes. Indeed. Everything, to the last dollar, no matter where It comes from or how It Is got. It Is a broth erhood, and we are socialists to a man.” "Then what little I have would be shared ?" "If we needed It, yes,” he said very decidedly. “Without that law, we could not work together. But It would not be much. I’m afraid, Rosa,” he laughed. “No. I wish I were rich," she said slowly. "I don’t; for then I might never have known you." There was a long pause during which Olive was thinking of Gilbert Merri- dew’s act In shooting the leader for the very selfsame thing ho himself was now doing. "And this Madnme Bon court. Karl, who is she?” she asked at length. “A woman of genius, Rosa, aa you Women Who Wear Well.

Many neglect to deal with the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak nesses which too often come with mar riage and motherhood, not understanding that this secret drain It robbing the cheek of Its freshness and the form of its fairness.

This was true enough; and al though there were many other ques tions she would have liked to ask about madame. Olive deemed It best to re strain her curiosity. In the night she pondered all the strange Information she had gained, es pecially In regard to Merrldqw. If Karl Hartmann was right Merridew was risking his life In keeping secret hi- p,.,f>e««|on of her father's fortune. Already she knew enough to put him In her power. But how could she use the knowledge to drag from, him the secret that was all In all to her? She must get face to face with him alone for that purpose; and the opportunity would come, must come, and soon; and the thought encouraged and nerved her for the work she had so readily undertaken for these men. She had put her hand to the plow and there should be no drawing back, she resolved; and on the following day her spirits were aa high aa her courage while ahe completed the few remaining arratogementa she had to make for her the spy in earnest. She would go to the house, because that was necessary for her continuance with these men; but she would Just content herself with doing the work assigned to her In tho household, and then make any report which appeared suitable. It would be easy to. say that ehe was too closely watched tp find out much. One very unpleasant ordeal she had to pass through. When ehe left the house Karl Insisted upon kissing her. nnd appeared Intensely disappointed that she did not respond with the warmth he expected. ”1 am ngltated, Karl. You don't un derstand.” she told him. "And I know I am not demonstrative; but, ah, Karl, you will see.” And she made up In glances for the fervor which she had appeared to lack In the embrace to which she hpd forced herself to subnfit. "It had to be done, of oourae,” she said to herself when she was In the train. "But, ugh. I didn't bargain for that;” und she rubbed the spot where his lips had touched her cheek as If to erase both the kiss and the memory of It. "If he Insists on kissing me again, I'shall have to break off the engage ment. I know I shall.” And she shud dered again. But she was quite herself when ehe stood on the steps of the big bouse In South Kensington and rang the bell. I A tall/footman opened the door and glared at her. "I wish to see Mrs. Grimston, the housekeeper. I am Olga Schmidt, the new housemaid," she said. In her bro ken English. His head went up In the air with offended dignity. "The new 'ouse- mald, eh? Then why didn't you go to the harear. Bringing me hup like this. Come In, now you are 'ere, and go downstairs." And very submissively Olga Schmidt did as she waa told. CHAPTER XXII. An Awkward Masting. It was such an evident strain upon the dignity of the pompous footman to taka notice of euch a person as an un der-housemaid that Olive was quite relieved when he pointed at thr door nn<’ ("Id her It wss the ” 'ouaekeeper's room.” ittuorant of the ettquette of the serv. ants' hall, ahe knocked and tjien wait ed to be told to enter, and, when' no response came, she knocked again. The door was jerked open from with in, and a short, wiry woman with a worried face and a peevish expression glared at her questloningly; and then opened the battery of a furious volley of words. "Goodness, gracious- me, whatever are you standing staring there for like that at me? Why didn’t you come In when I called, and whatever la it you want now? One would think you peo ple had uuthiug on earth better to do than to come worrying me with every sort of nonsense.

It appeared to be Impossible for her to check the rusn of word*. The questions came from Iter not one at a time, but by the half do»- en. and she allowed time for scarcely one of them to be answered, before the next edition was published, and In the j end she grumbled because Olive hail j not replied to them all. It appeared, however, that having quarreled with the girl who had had the place last, Mrs. Grimston had heed compelled to seek another In a hurry and without a personal Interview; and lienee Olga Schmidt was admittedly an experiment and taken on trial. All this came out In the midst of s torrent of Instructions about the work to be done, Mrs. Grimston's personal grievances, the shortcomings of the ether servants, and 1 the troubles of life In general. In a word Mrs. Grimston. as oil's saw In an Instant, was utterly unfit f;» the position she held—the work di recting the household was beyond her. nnd the result was that matters were always In a more or leas chaotic con- mtlon. She never used one word where fifty would do; she never had a clear Idea of what she wanted done, and ’’’ never explained anything clearly; she waa constantly changing her mind and Issuing absolutely contrary orders, and Invariably put the blame of her own Incompetence upon the servants.
