Scarcely had the taxicab disappear- ed, however, when Rennison saw the assistant secretary descending the steps, then set off in the direction taken by the cab he had sent away. Rennison motioned to Towndrow, whe quickly reached his side. “He's probably footing it for an- other machine which is waiting for him somewhere around here” Ren- pison sald. Il walk after him. Give me time to reach the next cor- ner, then come after me in the cab. Explain to the driver who you are, and direct him to cover thls block without lights. Towndrow nodded. Rennison quick- 1y turned the corner and started after Horsford. The assistant secretary, after cross- Ing the next street, kept on. Ren- nison, confident that Towndrow, in tha slow-moving. darkened taxicab, would keep him in view, followed. Then the next street was reached Horsford turned to the right. Renni- son quickened his pace. Just as he rounded tie corner he saw Horsford stepping into a large touring car. Rennison, hurrying back, drew out 2 pocket lamp and flashed it toward the cab that had been following him. Is a few moments the cab came up #and halted Rennison leaped into it, Ana after a few words of instruction tothe driver he seated himself beside Towndrow. The headlights were fiashed on again and the chase was begun. The minutes that followed were uneventful. Despite the lateness of the many automobiles were moving ty thoroughfares, but the Rennison’s cab had little in keeping in view the car passengers were Inter- or a moment did Renni- 2s the pursult led eastward and northeastward by turns. Not until Washington was behind them and thelr cab was passing taorugh Hyattsville did the pursuers breathe easily, however.

It is certain they will uot be_in Baltimore tonight. Towndrow was about to epeak n there was a sudden flash of lightning, closely followed byja sharp crack of thunder. The cab was slow- g down. Both passengers, leaning forward, lowered the window and protested against the slackening pace. CHAPTER XXIV, A STORM-SWEPT TRAIL. “Why are you stopping here?” de- manded Rennison as the automobile stopped under a wide-spreading ma- Dle tree at one side of the road. The chauffeur switched ‘off the hts of the car, and Rennison and Towndrow heard him swearing. Lightning flashed again as he turned in his seat. “What's ahcad of us is golng to be work for a submarine, not a taxi,” grumbled the man. “This storm is go- fug to make it a case of submerging.

About two hundred and 1ifty vards distant they made out the red tail-light of an automobile, which s standing at the right side of the roadway. “This ain’t the first time I've driven vou secret service fellers” the auffeur went on. “I've never had either of you before. perhaps. iut you're all aliko in your ways.

AUBREY TYSON (Copyright, 1922, by the Macmilian Company.) Renrison's prediction soon was proved to be correct. When they reached the place at which the leud- ing automobile had been standing they saw It had disappeared. For five minutes the violence of the storm was unabated. Though the road had few turns ghat could be ac- counted dangerous, "Gulick took no chances and the car moved slowly. At length, however, the wind dled away and the downpour radeally lost its vigor.

Ile was about to speak when he heard a low exclamation from Gulick. There was an abrupt slackening of the cab's pacs and the lights went out. Then the two men in the rear scat saw the red tail-light of an automc- bile only a hundred yards ahead of them. A moment later it dlsapneared |around a curve in the roal. “It sure is clearin’ all-fired quick,” the chauffeur growled. “It might be, though, they had their back lght out. 1f that is so, they saw us coming.” said Rennlson. “If they saw our l'ghts g0 out immediately afterward, they must know that, trying to conceal ourselves from thelr view, we are shadowing them." ‘That's one on me, all right” Gu- lick answered gloomi] “But what do you want me to do now?

"But it is clear that it they suspect that machine ahead of us is being shadowed, ita occupants will not go to the rendezvous until they are assured we have been thrown off the trail. “True. But what reason have you for suspecting Horsford, captain? The thing seems preposterous. The manner in which Channing was mur- dered and the papers taken from him seems to prove the innocence of Horsford. Horsford was one of the few men who, as an official of the Navy Department, knew the vital im rtance of thos: papers. He knew Channing was coming from New York with no other object than putting those papers in his hands.” ‘Quite true” Rennison assented. n that case, why should Horsford bave been a party to a plot designed to frusrate that delivery? Whether he was a representative of the go ernment or a representative of Sea- falcon, it plainly was in his interest to obtain possession of those sheets it the least possible delay, was it nof ‘No,” Rennison replied. __“It was not?" exclaimed the aston ished secret service man. “In Heav- en’'s name, captain, what process of reasoning brings you to that con- clusion?” The process is perfectly simple,” sald Rennison. “Let us assume, first, that I found in a comparatively trivial incident something that caused me to suspect some sort of an under- standing between Horsford and Reif- snyder—an understanding that put both in league with Scafalcon.” “Well?' “Well, in that case, it would be es- sential that Horsford should be view ed rather as an agent than as a principal, would it not? He merely was acting as an agent for the prin cipal. It was to this principal that these papers were to go ultimately— whether they were obtained by Hors- ford or by some one else.” ‘That {s plain enough, of cours: Now, as we have been informed, several officers of the Navy knew Horsford was to receive those papers from the hands of Channing. Hors- ford, however, is only a subordinate in the department. There was at all times a possibility that the Secretary of the Navy might take the thing out of his hands.” i “He is in a Philadelphia hospital.” “But he is convalscent—so nearly recovered from his operation for ap- pendicitis that he is likely to be back in Washington almost any day. That was not the only possibility, how- ever. It was not improbable that the Secretary would decide to have some member of the general staff deal with the matter—a course which, to my thinking, would have been the most reasonable in the first place. Hors- ford is only a sort of subcaliber man, at best—a round peg which political influence has thrust into a square hole—and I do not doubt that he would be required to surrender the papers a few minutes after recelving ed him on sched- ule time. They would have been . livered to him in the presence of others, and he might have been r. quired to vield them to some one else fmmediately. If, however, he had been perniitted to retain them for a i have occurred to them exposed him to suspicion “I'm beginning to see your drift”| saild Towndrow thoughtfully. 1 t Is safe to assume, therefore, that Horsford would naturally balk, in the circumstances, at being requi) ed to receive the papers for the pur- pose of losing them—to Seafaicon. On the other hand, Seafalcon might hkave been unwilling to rely on Hors- ford to see the thing through. So he decided to play the game both way He figured he couldn't lose. Chan- ning was to be murdered and the papers taken from him, in accordance with a plan that seemed reasonably certain of success. If. however, this failed, the papers would go to Hors- ford, after all—and thence to Sea- falcon, provided the gituations I have suggested could be avoided. You will see, then, that the first plan seemed more certain of success than second.’ ‘But, despite all you have said. captain, you must admit that this is mere theorizin Towndrow expot tulated. “All is based on the as- sumption that you have had spme reason to suspect Horsford? hat ground have you for such suspiclon? Why are you so certain concerning this rendezvous in Baltimore? It is clear, of course, that Horsford is heading for there—as you predicted he would do. But how did you learn the m: ture of his purpose?” - '~ {Continued In Tomorrow's Sar) ould have CHECK .YER HAT AccCoaT ! SEEKS REHEARING N 0000 ST Virginia Corporation Argues for Reopening Controversy With Shipping Board. Special Dispatch to The Star. ALEXANDRIA, Va., February 10.— Arguments were heard yesterday and will be continued today before Judge Edmund Waddill, in the United States court here, for a reopening of the suit of the Virginia Shipbuilding Corporation against the United States Shipping Eoard, in which the shipbuilding corpo- ration seeks t recover about $6,000,000, which suit was recently decided in favor of the government by Judge ‘Wadatll. Arguments for Corporation. The opening argument in behalf of the shipbuilding corporation was made by Judge Williapn L. Day of Cleveland, Ohio, who explained that the Virginia Shipbullding Corpora- tion desired to reopen the case and take further testimony. It is further contended that newly discovered evi: dence will show that on the theory sustained by Judge Waddlll as set forth in his recent opinion, the Vir- ginia Shipbuilding Corporation will be entitled to at least $2,000,000. It is contended by counsel for the corpora- tion that the additional testimony asking for a rehearing is based on the decision of the court of appeals of Philadelphia, deciding a case differ- ently from Judge Waddill. It is ex- pected that the arguments will be completed late this afternoon. Counsel for Shipbuilders. The counsel for the Virginia Ship- ‘building Corporation includes: Judge Willlam L. Day, Cleveland, Ohlo.; H. F. Giddings of the firm of Barber & Gibbony . of New York; Judge Nash Rockwood of New York City, Carlin, Carlin & Hall of this city and Washington, James R. Caton of this city, and Henry and Henry Walcott of Norfolk. Appearing on behalf of the govern- ment are: Chauncey G. Parker, general counsel for the United States Shipping Board; Edward W. Allison, jr., asistant attorney generzl of the United States, and Henry M. Wood. Among those present are Charles W. Morse and his son Ervin Morse, former officials of the Virginia cor- poration.

There lsn't a lazy bone in his plump little body. He says that only those who work can be truly happy, and I guess he is right. So when Danrdy hasn't anything in particular to do he makes something to do. Danny didn’t need a new tunnel under the sfiow. No, sir, he didn't need it at all. But he wanted to keep busy, o he went to work dig- ging & new tunnel. It wasn't a tun- nel to any particular place. It was Just a tunnel, made for the fun of making a tunnel. Whenever he had nothing else to do Danny made it longer. This is what he was doing when he came to & big, stout weed stalk. “This,” sald Danny to himself, “will be & good place to make a Kol up through the surface.” So Danny climbed the weed stalk, pushing away the snow as he did so, and at last reached the crust, He had to use his sharp little teeth on that crust to gnaw the way through. The crust grew thinner and thinner and after awhile Danny popped his head outside. Of course, the first thing he did was ot look all around to make sure that no enemy was near at hand. Everything was safe and Danny crept out. It was right then and thcre that Danny found the unexpected. It was the most delightful kind of a sur- prise. It made Danny squeak for doy. You see, the top of that weed was just ahove the snow. It was a top of many little branches and these were loaded with fine seeds. There were enough of them to make Danny a feast. 1In fact, there were enough of them to make him two or three feasts. Danny forgot ail about dan- er o forgot about everything but g the most of thi ks s unexpected “My, my, my, but this is a treat!” sald Danny. “This is more than worth the work of digging that tun- nel. 1 ought to go back and tell Nanny about this. ~ Yes, sir, I ought to go back and tell Nanny about this! 1.l when 1 have fled my stom- So Danny ate and- ate and forgot that he was no longer hidden from By Thornton 'W.

Dickey Tells Geo- graphic Society of Animal Emigration to Canada. Just as there has been a markea emigration of farmers from the United States to Canada in the west there has been an emigration of deer in the east, Donald R. Dickey told members of the National Geographic Society last evening In an lllustrated lecture on “The Wild Life of New Brunswick, Canada.” New Bruns- wick was devold of deer, according to Indian legends, but within the last forty years they have crowded in from Maine, and now the region has one of the heaviest deer populations to be found in North America, In this region Mr. Dickey has spent his summers for many years with cameras, stalking its wild life. The films which he exhibited last evening showed remarkable intimate studles of wild animals, many of which were unique, Features of the films were slow-motion analyses by super-speed cameras showing for the first time in ¢etall the graceful but intricate motions of deer and moose in flight and moose swimming. The latter pictures demonstrated, in Mr. Dickey’s opinion, that the moose is among the strongest of North Ameri- can animals, being surpassed, per- haps, only by the largér bears. Among the pictures were statue- like night views of deer and moose taken by jack light, a method which the lecturer declared given to naturalists by George Shiras, 2d, of ‘Washington.
