Photoplay Magazine — Advertising Section 115 The Eagle's Eye (Continued) on the corner near the big hotel, rapidly passing his fingers over a piece of knotted string, and translating the dots and dashes of the Morse code that it revealed to him. It was Dixie's message, brought to him from the hotel by the "planted" bellboy, and it read: "Watch alley. Ten o'clock. Other men gone. One man yet to go. Dixie." Hurriedly Harrison Grant turned to his men and gave an order. "Get into a machine and be ready to go to the canal at once. I — ." The crackle of a shot interrupted. In the alley came the sound of voices and curses. Grant ran forward, just in time to see the forms of Secret Service men as they struggled with a spy who had come down the fire escape, armed with dynamite and detonators. "Turn him over to the police," ordered Grant, "and hurry for the canal. The rest of the gang is already there." Up in von Lertz's room, however, that shot had brought consternation. "They've got Herson down there!" he snapped. "We've got to run for it!" Hastily he seized his bags and with Madame Stephan, Baroness Verbecht and Dixie Mason, rushed for the elevator. There were words of fright and of anger — Dixie the most emphatic of all. But behind her mask of anger, Dixie was more than happy. She knew that Grant had received her message on the knotted string. Out at the canal — "Quick! There's an automobile coming!" A spy ran forward to where other spies were attaching detonators and dynamite. He gave hurried orders. "Attach a fuse there and light it. We haven't time for the detonators! Hear me? Quick — try to get that boat that's coming through the locks now!" But too late. For Harrison Grant and the members of the Secret Service had already rushed forward, to seize and grapple with the men, to shackle them, then to run forward and, seizing the dynamite, throw it out of the zone of danger. The Welland Canal was saved! Saved — while down in Washington — "Message for you, sir!" It was the servant standing at the side of Dr. Heinrich Albert. The fiscal spy smiled. "Von Lertz is right on time, eh?" he laughed, opening the yellow envelope. Then his laughter faded. "Himmel!" he exclaimed. "The plot failed! Several of our men have been arrested!" Bernstorff looked from Boy-Ed to von Papen and back again. "I warned you," he said coldly. "I warned you not to take risks. But you took them. Do you know what this means? It means your dismissal from America! The State Department has already warned you that this may happen — and this is the end. Oh, why could you have made such a blunder!" "It would have been a great victory if we had succeeded!" answered Papen sarcastically. "But no matter. We did our best — and we haven't failed yet. We may be recalled — but when we go, we'll leave a reign of terror behind us!" (To be continued.)
