Jake rapidly prepared Hi-3 chemicals and made rhe test which Martin had de ■|rec. Eagerly they nepf over the pape- which had been held in the vapor. There was nothing to see. It was ; tnined a uniform brown. Th» three looked at each other with various expressions ot disappoint ment and disgust. Then Oreenleaf suddenly struck his hand on the laboratory table in 1 little gesture of triumph. “Os course; That’s vs hat Bill was reading me over ilie phone, instruc tions were that, m the future. -spies were to dampen the paper after writing the com r message. That explains it.'* l-fls elation was suddenly dashed j at the sight of Jake’s expression. “Then." said .lake, "the iodine test ! won't v.ork for when all the paper A dampened, all ttte fibers are dis arranged ard the vapor will not sot t.e into toe devices of the writing.” “It’s a .ot" -ail Onenleaf -low 1 ...

Jake rapidly seized two pieces of paper “T.'il _hot\ vou,” he said. One piece he dampened and then cried by pres ing it. between blotting paper w ill a warm iron. Tiie.n he •»tti akec the paper vsitft an iodine *wah and laid i' aside while he streaked the second undampened paper in the same manner. He held the tuo up under the light. The dampened paper wan perceptibly lighter than the undampened. Quick ly he streaked the letter with the iodine iiih. It dried to h« name light tint as the dampened paper. ■‘Th a letter wan dampened after the message was written,” Jake ex plained. Blane, even followed thin demon •tration. ••You'l-3 light,” he said, looking ot Jak* with a curious new’ respect. This was a hit of defective work to his liking. “And now.” .-said Jake, ‘all we’ve got to do i" read the letter, yes?” "You mean you've got. to find the ! one particular reagent for some one particular chemical?” “That,” said Jake, drily, "is my lit tle job. And if this paper holds to gether after a thousand experiments or so, maybe I'll find it. And again tnaybo [ won’t.” Oreenleaf tegnrded film glumly’. Meanwhile where are we?” he a£>ked, “Well there are other ways*. ) Come along Riare ve'll irt fake go MOTOR TRANSPORT EMPLOYS 20 PCT.

One out of every five persons employed in North Caro lina sets his job and wages from some branch of the highway trans portation industry or from trades and activities associated with it, according tb figures recently compiled from the U. 3. Census Bureau'and made public here today. Within this group of trades and industries are included the automobile, gasoline and oil sales agencies, the wholesale and retail (service trades, also the bur and truck operating companies. The figures upon which this analysis was based ■were for the year 1933. Some of the other facto with regard to the extent of the highway trans portation indusry in North Cardin*, revealed ir. the survey based upon the Census Bureau show that out. of a total of 35,335 v’hr 4 .*palo, retail and t'wt'cc establishtr.er.is operating in the State ln3t ye ar, 8.298 or almost imefourth, were entirely dependent.

But Oreenleaf seemed loath to be gin. "You see.” he began at last, “this is a shot in the dark. Also It in volves committing a crime—burglary to he exact.” "We've committed burglary before now.” Rlane observed cheerfully. “\\ hy the' sudden .growth of con science?" "1 know, I know.” Oreenleaf said embarrassed. “Don’t misunderstand me. The crime is justified if we get the goods, but I very much doubt if the goods are there. A fruitless crime—my conscience disapproves of that,” "Perhaps,” ventured Blane. taking u cigar without invitation from Greenleaf’s desk, “if you’d tell the circumstances I’d know whether it's worth committing.” Oreenleaf looked perplexedly at his accomplice. “I can’t—or won’t—do that. I’ll tell you this. It has occurred to me that the chemical we’re after may be in the possession of a certain per son. It’s a hundred to one chance that it isn’t. I don’t really think it Is. Yet—” Blane nodded comprehendingly. “I know. If you don’t do it, it will be on your mind. The answer is, do it. Prove yourself right.” Oreenleaf frowned. “That’s all very well, but if your man should be caught there'd be hell to payv He might have to stand trial, be convicted and go to prison before toe government could do any thing.” “Oh, I’ll do it myself,” Blane offered brightly. “It’s not a thing I'd ask my men to do.” Oreenleaf looked even more de pressed. “I was afraid you’d say that." “Come,” said Blane. “cut out the apologies and tell me where to go and what to get.” Oreenleaf drew a plan on a piece of paper. “This tree stands near the window, probably about the third window from the front on the second floor on the west side. There’s a tough vine which can, I think, be easily climbed. The window was unlocked and slightly raised at five o’clock this afternoon.

In proportion to the flotal'' volume of sales by all trades, the ! trades catering to highway transpor tation provided more jobs and a high- ; er standard of wages, providing 20 j per cent of the jobs and 22.6 per cent . of the payrolls, as compared with 17.3 per cent of sales.

On the dressing table, and probably in the bedroom, there ate all manner of bottles, jars, boxes, and tubes containing lotions, tooth paste, facial cream, toilet water and all the rest of it. What 1 want is a small sample of each. J want to he sure they're no more than they pre tend.” Blane looked with disapproval at the cigar w hich he had taken. “And this house, this mysterious house, is the Scandinavian embassy, and the lady whose dressing .oota you’ve been in is the Countess her* self. Am I right?” “I’ve not been in her dressing room. I got a glimpse of it through the doorway.” “Tell that to the marines," said Blane coarsely. “I’ve suspected that dame ever since you pinched Duval in the embassy.” Oreenleaf shook his head. “I no longer suspect her —never mind why—but I’m not taking any chances I can avoid. And also, the stuff we’re looking for might »* there and she not know it.” Blane regarded him wit h ' raised eyebrows. “Doesn’t sound reasonable to am! 0 lie observed. “No?—never mind. Just an idea of mine. Bet it go. This is the situation. The Countess will be at the reception and dance in the Mexican embassy tonight. Between 1L and 12 the place should be clear but for servants. If your mao makes a visit and .samples every thing and gets away without leaving any traces it woyld, maybe, be a useful job.” “I told you,” said Blane, "that I’d do it myself. I’ve not pulled off a good burglary in some time. I like the idea.” “You always were a damn fool.” said Greenleaf thoughtfully. “] sup pose that’s why I count on you.” Blane looked at his watch and rose. “1 need about two dozen little hot ties or containers of some kind. How many of those samples do yon riu’iitt there’ll be?” Oreenleaf frowned. ”A lot.” lie said. “Some of them you can pass over probably. Take a sniff or a taste and make sure they’re what they pretend to be. It will probably be some clear white liquid—possibly a white powder Those are the likeliest things to look for.
