THE STORY
"The Secret Game" is a romance of the Secret Service in which NaraNara, the famous Japanese detective, works to save from destruction the American transports that are secretly carrying American troops across the Pacific to surprise the enemy on the Russian front. Japan, the United States' great ally, has guaranteed safety to these transports and it is for the honor of his country that Nara-Nara is put on the job.
It has become known to the Secret Service that there is a leak somewhere in official circles and this leak has been traced to the office of one Major Northf ield, V. S. Quartermaster of the Pacific Coast. The American Secret Service has declared Major Northf ield to be above suspicion, but nevertheless, Nara-Nara resolves to watch him, and for this purpose hires an office next to his where he sets himself up as a "Japanese Importer,"
The truth of the matter is that little Kitty Little, a stenogrgapher in Northfield's office, is the real "leak" through which important news is reaching the enemy. She is a girl of German parentage who has a brother in the German army. She is working under the direction of a socalled Dr. Smith (Schmidt in Germany) who, under the cloak of being a physician, sees his agents as patients.
It is Dr, Smith who has procured the position for Kitty in Northfield's office, for he pretends to be a great friend of the Major's, He it is also who invites Kitty and Miss Loring, Northfield's private secretary, to a little dinner, during the course of which he so drugs Miss Loring's coffee that she loses consciousness and is taken with a sort of amnesia, Kitty is promoted to Miss Loring's position where she has access to all the important documents.
