Olg* Schmidt, Undor Housemaid.
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."

"The run of the house? 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 »• »•

by accident; Cooper was the leader In
those days; nnd Gideon told us.” Ills
eyes had a steely light as he said this,
an expression Olive had not seen In
then, before.
"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.

Women Who Wear Well.
It is astonishing how great a change a
few yean of married life often mako In
the appearance and disposition of many
women. Tho freshness, tho charm, the
brllllanco vanish like the bloom from a
peach which la rudely handled. Tho
matron la only a dim abodow, a faint echo
of tho charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change. Ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to. the system through tho
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding

She Is wonderful.”
"You make me long to see her.
Karl." 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

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

what It is. Nothing else In this world,
as anybody can. hear. But perhaps

the woman, firmly repressing an In

Impossible for her to check the rusn of

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.
