(Schmidt, in Germany).
An important unit in the

Dr. Smith's motherly (?)
old housekeeper; also
in the Service.

9
Sessue Hayakawa
as
Nara-Nara, in the Japanese
Secret Service. A patriot
of Japan and sincere
friend to America.
10
In the
Japanese Embassy,
Washington, D. C.
11
"I am advised that
America is to send
troops from her Western
Coast to surprise the
Germans on the Russian
front."
12
In
Los Angeles.
13
"This has come through
our agent in Holland. We'll
decode it at once."
14
"I have sent for you
because Japan has
offered to convoy the
American transports."
15
"New German raiders
are known to be in the
Pacific. This means
there has been a 'leak'
- in Major Northfield's
department."
16
"Find the traitor behind
that 'leak' before he divulges
the transports' sailing date
and route. Japan's honor
is staked upon their safety."
17
"I suspect Northfield
himself. Move with great
caution as the American
Secret Service declares
him above suspicion."
18
"You've already made
good in Northfield's outer
office. Before that transport
order arrives you must
take Miss Loring's place
in his inner office."
19
"Miss Loring likes you.
It'll be a simple matter to
invite her - at the right
time - to a little - er -
dinner."
20
"I'm swamped with work
and have decided to promote
you to help me in the inner
office."
21
The following
week a new firm
of importers takes
the office next to
Northfield's.
22
"That refers to the
transports. Please put
it in the safe."
23
"As your doctor you
know I insist on golf
once a week."
24
"Can't I persuade
you to come out to the
Country Club with me
this afternoon?"
25
"Miss Loring must dine
with us - tonight."
26
"But I can't dine
with Dr. Smith without
a chaperon - and he
particularly mentioned
you."
27
"Major Northfield plays
golf at the Country Club
Saturday afternoons. He
won't be in till Monday."
28
"American girl have
beeg round eye instead
of the beautiful slant -
but some of her have
beauty."
29
"I'll return the girl's
handkerchief - and
get the measurement
on Northfield's side of
the wall."
30
"Dr. Smith is to meet
us at the restaurant at
seven."
31
"Put the microphone
through here."
32
On the trail.
33
"Where does this -
Dr. Smith - live?"
34
"I feel so - odd. I -
can't remember."
35
"Prepare a room for
her, Mrs. Harris. A very
interesting case - which
I shall keep under my
personal observation."
36
"If you don't release
Miss Loring, I'll call the
police!"
37
"You're a member
of the German Secret
Service. You know the
fate of a traitor to that
Service."
38
"If you care nothing for
your own life - perhaps
you do for Miss Loring's."
39
"Unless you take her
place as Northfield's
secretary, and bring me
news of the transports,
Miss Loring's case will
end - unfortunately."
40
"I found this on the -
er - street. I thought you
might not like to have it -
blowing around."
41
"There is no need to
call anyone - I've just
been to - my doctor's."
42
"I've been under Dr.
Ebell Smith's care for
several months."
43
Nara-Nara applies
the code in vain to
Dr. Smith's mail.
44
"Kitty Little left this."
45
"I'll warn Kitty the
code's been stolen. You
make Miss Loring talk."
46
"Miss Loring is ill - but
I think I can handle -
everything."
47
"Miss Loring sick
- Miss Little take her
place."
48
"I was just passing -
and dropped in to say
I'm taking a scientific
interest in Miss Loring's
case."
49
"Has the transport
order come through
yet?"
50
"The code has been
stolen. Guard your
letters - and work
quickly."
51
"Thank the Postmaster
and say these may now
be delivered."
52
"The Jap may have
found your envelope
on the street - but make
it your business to be
very nice to him."
53
"When does Northfield
expect the final orders
about the transports?"
54
"You're a loyal little
American - eh?"
55
"Will you help me to
protect the soldiers of
your country - and the
honor of mine?"
56
"I have reason to suspect
Major Northfield."
57
"If Major Northfield is
innocent, your reports
will clear him. Only the
guilty will suffer."
58
"When does Northfield
get the transports' sailing
date and route?"
59
"If you can't remember I
fear I shall have to perform
a little operation - on your
brain."
60
"The 30th or 31st."
61
"The - er - communication
we expect should arrive
on Thursday or Friday of
this week."
62
"If you'd marry me, Kitty
- I think I could keep
my mind on this transport
business."
63
By the end of the month,
Nara-Nara's interest
in his new "assistant"
has become personal.
64
"When I left Japan
my father sent me forth
- like a Samurai of old
- sworn to the service
of my Emperor."
65
"And he bade me
return, at the end of
my service, and lay
my sword - unstained
- at his feet."
66
"The postmaster says
to try that code on this."
67
"You must get me
the information I want.
Remember it's for
your brother and our
country."
68
"I'm going to do my
duty - but I feel like a
cheat and a - traitor."
69
"The transport order!
Bring it to me inside -
in five minutes."
70
"I'll add my instructions
to this transport order -
and mail it to Captain
Frost."
71
"Please mail this to
Captain Frost - he'll
get it in an hour. That'll
be all for today."
72
"Deliver this to Captain
Frost in person. The one
I gave the girl is a -
trap."
73
"The letter I hoped
to find - evidently has
not been mailed."
74
Preparing for the
"get-away".
75
"I want the name and
number of the last call
to my office."
76
"The call came from
Dr. Ebell Smith's!"
77
"Order an expressman
- that you can trust."
78
"How about - Miss
Loring?"
79
"You - traitor! Never
will your big round eye
break the heart of
another man."
80
"You are too beautiful
to die! I will take you
to Japan with me."
81
"He watches to avenge
his dead chief. He at
least is not a - traitor."
82
"You need not fear
Northfield."
83
"I'll never tell him
you are a traitor if you
come with me."
84
"If you won't come
with me you'll never
see Northfield again."
85
"The man on the balcony
thinks the murderer is
searching the house. He'll
kill whoever returns to the
body."
86
"Northfield will be
that man!"
87
"You are the traitor
- to yourself, your
Emperor and your
'Stainless' sword!"
88
"This letter will be
your punishment.
Mine must be greater.
I go to take the stain
off my sword."
89
"As a member of the
Secret Service, it is my
duty to return this to
you - unopened."
90
"Because of this
I'll at least die - an
American."
91
"Miss Little was
helping to catch the
spy. The 'letter' she
delivered was - - a
blank."
92
"Come. I have something
to show you."
93
"The transports."
