_Mr. L_—: Yes, I’m the head of the Treasury Department and three other Departments besides. Four of them altogether. There are seventeen different branches, you know; I have full charge of this one. _Mrs. U_—: No wonder you’re so busy! Well, have you caught any spies lately? _Mr. L_—: Oh, yes. We get them right along. I got forty last week. _Mrs. U_—: You know, we have known each other a long time now, haven’t we? You know, it’s funny how you meet people through advertisements. Nearly everybody that I met in a business way I met through advertisements. And everybody that I met that way turned out to be a factor in my life! I met a good friend of mine, a girl, through an ad. And then, I have got some very good positions through advertisements. And then, I met you through that ad in—let’s see—was it the “Times”? _Mr. L_—: No, the “Herald.” _Mrs. U_—: Tell me about that girl that you said you had that was so good. Is she still catching spies? _Mr. L_—: Yes; she got fourteen last week. _Mrs. U_—: Gee! She must have worked overtime.... Did she have to do what you wanted me to do? _Mr. L_—: Oh, yes, you see she was crazy about the work. _Mrs. U_—: Gosh, you know that is very interesting to me. How many girls did you get from that advertisement? I guess you think I am a fool, but I get so interested, and I like to have you tell me all these things. _Mr. L_—: Oh, I don’t remember. You know, I think the spies would take to you and I don’t blame them. I know I would. _Mrs. U_—: Do you think they would like a red-head? Is there any demand at all for them? _Mr. L_—: Oh, I couldn’t see all of them. _Mrs. U_—: I guess you’re busy now with all these German submarines around, aren’t you? _Mr. L_—: Oh, yes, indeed; very busy. They are very dangerous people. _Mrs. U_—: Do you always have to teach those girls that you have in the Secret Service? You know I have been reading all about this spy work and this Secret Service thing since I saw you. I am so much interested. They go by numbers, don’t they, instead of names? Well, if I was in the service, would you look up all about where I was born, and who my people were, and everything like that? Would you do that to see if I had any German blood? I’ll tell you why I ask it, because the Y. M. C. A. people told me that they would have to look me up very carefully and that they would have to find out if any of my people were born in Germany.... How long have you been in the Government Secret Service? _Mr. L_—: Twenty-five years. _Mrs. U_—: Twenty-five years! Oh, dear, and no one would ever know that you were in it. _Mr. L_—: Come here—oh, you’re just a little kiddie. _Mrs. U_—: Oh, now, wait a minute, just wait a minute!
