 Miss Loring,

Major Northfield's private secretary.

 Mayme Kelso.

5 Major John Northfield,

in charge of a U. S.

Quartermaster Depot on

the Western Coast.
   Jack Holt.

6

  Dr. Ebell Smith,
(Schmidt, in Germany).

An important unit in the

German Secret Service.
 Charles Ogle.

7

  "Mrs. Harris" -

Dr. Smith's motherly (?)

old housekeeper; also
    in the Service.
 Raymond Hatton.

8

    Kitty Little,

with a deeply concealed hyphen in her name, and, in her heart a romantic love for the "Fatherland".

 Florence Vidor.

9

   Sessue Hayakawa
         as

Nara-Nara, in the Japanese Secret Service. A patriot

of Japan and sincere
  friend to America.

10

    In the

Japanese Embassy, Washington, D. C.

11

"I am advised that

America is to send troops from her Western Coast to surprise the Germans on the Russian front."

12

   In

Los Angeles.

13

"This has come through

our agent in Holland. We'll decode it at once."

14

"I have sent for you

because Japan has offered to convoy the American transports."

15

"New German raiders

are known to be in the Pacific. This means there has been a 'leak' - in Major Northfield's department."

16

"Find the traitor behind

that 'leak' before he divulges the transports' sailing date and route. Japan's honor is staked upon their safety."

17

"I suspect Northfield 

himself. Move with great caution as the American Secret Service declares him above suspicion."

18

"You've already made 

good in Northfield's outer office. Before that transport order arrives you must take Miss Loring's place in his inner office."

19

"Miss Loring likes you.

It'll be a simple matter to invite her - at the right time - to a little - er - dinner."

20

"I'm swamped with work

and have decided to promote you to help me in the inner office."

21 The following week a new firm of importers takes the office next to

 Northfield's.

22

"That refers to the 

transports. Please put it in the safe."

23

"As your doctor you

know I insist on golf once a week."

24

"Can't I persuade 

you to come out to the Country Club with me this afternoon?"

25

"Miss Loring must dine

with us - tonight."

26

"But I can't dine

with Dr. Smith without a chaperon - and he particularly mentioned you."

27

"Major Northfield plays

golf at the Country Club Saturday afternoons. He won't be in till Monday."

28

"American girl have

beeg round eye instead of the beautiful slant - but some of her have beauty."

29

"I'll return the girl's 

handkerchief - and get the measurement on Northfield's side of the wall."

30

"Dr. Smith is to meet

us at the restaurant at seven."

31

"Put the microphone

through here."

32 On the trail.

33

"Where does this -

Dr. Smith - live?"

34

"I feel so - odd. I -

can't remember."

35

"Prepare a room for 

her, Mrs. Harris. A very interesting case - which I shall keep under my personal observation."

36

"If you don't release 

Miss Loring, I'll call the police!"

37

"You're a member 

of the German Secret Service. You know the fate of a traitor to that Service."

38

"If you care nothing for 

your own life - perhaps you do for Miss Loring's."

39

"Unless you take her 

place as Northfield's secretary, and bring me news of the transports, Miss Loring's case will end - unfortunately."

40

"I found this on the -

er - street. I thought you might not like to have it - blowing around."

41

"There is no need to

call anyone - I've just been to - my doctor's."

42

"I've been under Dr.

Ebell Smith's care for several months."

43 Nara-Nara applies the code in vain to

Dr. Smith's mail.

44 "Kitty Little left this."

45

"I'll warn Kitty the 

code's been stolen. You make Miss Loring talk."

46

"Miss Loring is ill - but

I think I can handle - everything."

47

"Miss Loring sick 

- Miss Little take her place."

48

"I was just passing -

and dropped in to say I'm taking a scientific interest in Miss Loring's case."

49

"Has the transport

order come through yet?"

50

"The code has been 

stolen. Guard your letters - and work quickly."

51

"Thank the Postmaster

and say these may now be delivered."

52

"The Jap may have 

found your envelope on the street - but make it your business to be very nice to him."

53

"When does Northfield

expect the final orders about the transports?"

54

"You're a loyal little 

American - eh?"

55

"Will you help me to 

protect the soldiers of your country - and the honor of mine?"

56

"I have reason to suspect 

Major Northfield."

57

"If Major Northfield is

innocent, your reports will clear him. Only the guilty will suffer."

58

"When does Northfield 

get the transports' sailing date and route?"

59

"If you can't remember I

fear I shall have to perform a little operation - on your brain."

60 "The 30th or 31st."

61

"The - er - communication

we expect should arrive on Thursday or Friday of this week."

62

"If you'd marry me, Kitty

- I think I could keep my mind on this transport business."

63 By the end of the month,

 Nara-Nara's interest
in his new "assistant"
has become personal.

64

"When I left Japan

my father sent me forth - like a Samurai of old - sworn to the service of my Emperor."

65

"And he bade me 

return, at the end of my service, and lay my sword - unstained - at his feet."

66

"The postmaster says 

to try that code on this."

67

"You must get me 

the information I want. Remember it's for your brother and our country."

68

"I'm going to do my 

duty - but I feel like a cheat and a - traitor."

69

"The transport order!

Bring it to me inside - in five minutes."

70

"I'll add my instructions

to this transport order - and mail it to Captain Frost."

71

"Please mail this to 

Captain Frost - he'll get it in an hour. That'll be all for today."

72

"Deliver this to Captain 

Frost in person. The one I gave the girl is a - trap."

73

"The letter I hoped 

to find - evidently has not been mailed."

74 Preparing for the

  "get-away".

75

"I want the name and 

number of the last call to my office."

76

"The call came from

Dr. Ebell Smith's!"

77

"Order an expressman

- that you can trust."

78

"How about - Miss 

Loring?"

79

"You - traitor! Never

will your big round eye break the heart of another man."

80

"You are too beautiful 

to die! I will take you to Japan with me."

81

"He watches to avenge

his dead chief. He at least is not a - traitor."

82

"You need not fear 

Northfield."

83

"I'll never tell him

you are a traitor if you come with me."

84

"If you won't come 

with me you'll never see Northfield again."

85

"The man on the balcony

thinks the murderer is searching the house. He'll kill whoever returns to the body."

86

"Northfield will be 

that man!"

87

"You are the traitor

- to yourself, your Emperor and your 'Stainless' sword!"

88

"This letter will be 

your punishment. Mine must be greater. I go to take the stain off my sword."

89

"As a member of the 

Secret Service, it is my duty to return this to you - unopened."

90

"Because of this

I'll at least die - an American."

91

"Miss Little was

helping to catch the spy. The 'letter' she delivered was - - a blank."

92

"Come. I have something 

to show you."

93 "The transports."

94 THE END
