he was d'sregarded, ao he dunned for

the Oerman fire waa wounderfully accu

their entire fir on one battery and when
that was out of action would turn to
another.
That night he bivouacked with a French

The train was moving, but Thompson
took a running jump and dove through an
open window Into the lap of the aston
ished lady. She waa considerably startled
until he explained he waa an American.
The woman, who waa young and very
good looking, proved to be a countess, a
Russian of high family, leaving Paris for
Petrograd. The government had given her
a compartment, but she bad her maid and
all ter money takea from her. Thompaon
told her that Scotland Yard detectives
would search him When the train reached
Boulogne and aaked her If she would con

sented, but asked In return fo rthe danger
she was Incurring, to be paid 1.000 francs.
He only had 3S0 francs, so he paid her
the balance in cigar store coupons, which
he explained were American war cur
rency. She aeemed quite satisfied.
Thompson said he paid her almost
enough coupons to get a briar pipe.
At Boulogne he was arrested, stripped
and searched, but nothing was found. He
was permitted to continue to London,
where he went to the countess' hotel and
recovered the negatives.. An hour later
