In the first years of the World War, while military attache at the German Embassy in Washington, he was charged by the U. S. Secret Service with paying for the projected blowup of the Welland Canal.

Laulerque, who has joined the secret organization that is to save the peace of Europe, has doubts of his unknown brethren's integrity-doubts which are not dismissed by an attempt on Briand's life, a vague scheme for kidnapping royalty. The two student friends, Jerphanion and Jallez, finish their course, have one last...
