It was easy enough for those fellows to arrest me, but they never had a chance of holding me." "But how did you get away in time ?" Mr.Sabin sighed.
"It was very simple," he said.

"One day, while one of those wonderful spies was sleeping on my doormat I slipped away and went over to Washington, saw the English Ambassador, convinced him of my bonafides, told him very nearly the whole truth.

He promised if I wired him that I was arrested to take my case up at once.

You sent the despatch, and he kept his word.

I breakfasted on Saturday morning at the Waldorf, and though a great dray was driven into my carriage on the way to the boat, I escaped, as I always do--and here I am." "Unhurt!" Felix remarked with a smile, "as usual!" Mr.Sabin nodded.
"The driver of my carriage was killed, and Duson had his arm broken," he said.
