No one suspected him of being a diplomat, but in reality he was the shrewdest agent the English government ever had and was constantly foiling attempts of diplomats of other countries to injure the fame of England. In all his exploits he was assisted by his ward, Nan Tremain, daughter of Trevor's old army chum, who, when he died, had left the girl as a trust to the man he loved above all others. A leak in the foreign office was one of the adventures in which the identity of the diplomatic freelance was nearly revealed. A society woman, who found herself terribly involved financially, agreed to become spy for Germany, and piled her arts on a young foreign clerk named Desmond. The woman, a Mrs. Benham, exercised hypnotic power over Desmond, and while he was unconscious, learned from him secrets that in his conscious moments he would never have revealed to a soul. Desmond was one of the few men who knew the real truth about Trevor, and he confessed it to the treacherous woman. Nan saved her guardian, however, and after a thrilling battle, in a lonely wireless station, the secret was again buried, and the identity of the diplomatic freelance still remained as much a mystery as it had been before.
