And he moved, tenta tively, to sec what would happen. lie found out quickly. "I wouldn't movo If I were you," Larry told him sharply. "No?" Strcctman Inquired with a sarcn.'tlc Bmllc. "Permit me to point out tLnt when sotneono enters this room'' "Whrn someone does, If you say one word, 'iv do ono thing, I'll kill you so help ihc God I will!" Larry promised him But the threat was far from alarm ing the fellow. "Afterward, you and the lady will follow me," ho pointed out to his cncm.r. "Perhaps!" Larry granted. "But you'll io unit Remember that! If they find me In this uniform, I'm dono for anyhow, no I've nothing to loso. . . . You have. You don't want to dlo. You're n coward or you wouldn't have treated her lllco that cheated, robbed hcrl" "It was u way to servo ray country and my country In nbovo all. For noth ing else do I care," ho announced piously. His hypocritical answer roused Ethel to Ineffable scorn. "Why, ho Isn't n German!" bIio scoffed. "lie's a Russian in tlio Ger man pay." "A Russian, eh?" said Larry. "What if I am?" Strcctman retort ed. "I am loyal to Germany." "So you're a traitor, too a traitor lo your own country!" Larry taunted him. "A renegade! Why, you're a dls graeo oven to that uniform, You've got a yellow streak, Strassman, and that's what'll save us." The telephone sergeant Btepprd In side the door, In obedience to Lnrry's ously. And then he gavo an exclama tion of Burprlse. "A copy of their or ders!" ho exulted. "Tho whole pjan against the British nrmyl" Larry said breathlessly as ho scanned one of tho documents. "The crown prince is to march against Paris whllo Von Kluclc Is flanking us from Tournay nnd Lc Catcau. If they succeed, it will clear the road to Paris. ... Do you see what it means?" lie asked Ethel. "It means everything If wo can only let the British know," she answered. "Now tnko his car that's outside you must know how to drive It," Larry said. "Ills pass will get you through to Tourvlllc." "Oh, Larry! Como with mol" She could not bear tho thought of leaving him. "The pass says 'For bearer!' 'TIs no good for two. I'd not get twenty yards till I wan stopped. . . . You must go alone for England!" ho urged her. "Then I've got to," sho said. That's tho bravo girl'" he praised her warmly. "And listen! At Tour vlllo go to tho mayor's house. Walt for mc. Somehow tonight tinder cover of dnrkness I'll manage to get thcro to you, and thero wo'H And tho English Hues together. . . . Now, hurry!" ho added. "For every second counts for England." Thcro was no time even for tho shortest goodby. But Ethel took ono fleeing look Into his honest, loving eyes. Then ho opened tho door for her and she left him. t Captain Redmond, as ho turned away from the door that shut even tho view of her departure away from him, found that tho German sergeant had s.lpped in by means of another en trance. Larry told him thero had been no messages, nnd a look of vast relief camo over tho gallant Irishman's faco ns ho heard the cough of n motor start- ng outside. Thcro followed the notes at a horn, which grew rapidly fainter. And he know tlion that Ethel had late commnnd. Strcotniim Avns be-; mado her escape unhindered. tween tho fellow anil Larry. Anil tlio ' ..n0 you know which is my room?" soldier did not sco Captain Redmond's rovolver. "It Is fifteen minutes" ho began. But Streetman gave him no tlmo to finish. "Sergeant!" ho exclaimed eagerly. "Remember, you go first!" Larry warned him in an undertone. And to tho "noncom" bd said, "You've inter rupted us, sergeant, on somo Important business. Thcro huvo been no mes sages." Tho sergeant saluted untl retired. '"Yes, Captain Karll' ho had said as ho turned. "So you aro Captain Karll" Streot man gasped; lie Wondered what fur ther revelations would take place. "Now hand over your military pa pers!" Lorry ordered him. "I will not!'- "Yen, you will! A Gorman would rather die than betray his country to tho enemy, but you're not a Gorman, you 'dirty cowardt You'ro not man enough to stand up nnd tako your iiedlclne. Como on!" After that Slreotraan reached for his papers. But Larry stopped him sud denly. Ho reflected that posslbjy tho fellow carried another revolver. "No, on second thought, I'll get 'em myself,' ho said. And ho quickly ap propriated Streetman's treasured doc uments. Among them ho found a map of tho British Intrcnchmcnts. "You've marked Trench 271" Larry exclaimed. "What mischief havo you afoot for Trench 27?" Streotman dived for Larry then. But Captain Redmond was ready for him. J.Io threw tho unhappy rascal Into n chair. And thereupon Strect mau thought better of his Intentions, Handing tho rovolver to Ethel, Larry bade her keep tholr prisoner covered. Awl then tho resourceful Irishman pro ceeded to bind his captive. ' Tfl fin onmnnnn timet It 1.l nin ii f)vtjt,iuu uutitua in vf it in urn llko this, what do you think will hap pen to you?" Strcotman snarled. "Nothlngl" was tho captain's blltho nnswe'r. "For I'll be proving with my own English papers I'll say I found on you, that you'ro an English spy, and that I captured you -for the father land." "You docl" tho other cried, no wan thoroughly alarmed now, ns ho saw tho plauslW'.tty of tho Irishman's ruse. " '".a best you don't talk too much, cllL'9r," Larry cautioned him humor ously. And ho proceeded to gag tho hulplcss man. Then, to Elhul's sur prise, no loss than tho renegado Rus sian's, he opened tho trapdoor and dragged Stri-ctmnn, whom ho had tied, seated; to Ui chair, across tho room toward tho malrs that led to the wine cellar. It wob only a few seconds' work to lower Ills victim to the bottom of tho short flight. As tho chair bumped from step to step, Larry could not re frain from a parting jost " 'TIs many a long day, I'll wnrrant, elnco you rodo in a Jaunting car," ho remarked. CHARTER XX.

"Any news, sergeant?" tho Ileuten nnt inquired, after Larry had gone. "None, Herr Lloutonunt." "What is that?" Baum asked pres ently. A curious, persistent tapping caught their attention, coming, appar ently, from beneath their feet "Why It is tho code!" tho sergeant oxclalmcd. "What docs It say?" Baum contin ued. Tho sorgcant listened Intently, whllo he spelled out tho signal. "Help!" ho Interpreted. ' "Oh It Is the woman spy," tho lieu- sZ I. V&MUm X5B -y Gmmm N Xffll fllWJl SSSSSSSSsH.

"Ho has tho password." "Then opcu tho door, qulcklyl" Baum commanded. The sergeant obeyed, and, looking down Into tho cellar ho cried: "Golt In lllmmell It Is Herr Captain Strassman, bound and gaggedl" In u few moments they had released Strcctman. "I was taken at a great disadvan tage and unexpectedly attacked by an A sinister gleam camo Into Street man's eyes. "Lleutcnnnt go to Captain Karl at once. Bay that someono Is hero with a messago from Tourvlllc," ho said. "And as soon ns Captain Karl leaves tho room, Inform Major von Brenlg that I alone, single-handed, havo cap tured an English spy." Already Street man was gloating over Ills lutended re prisal. Before executing his' errand .Lieuten ant Baum at Streetman's request handed his revolver to tho spy from tho Wllhclmstrasse. "Sergeant send for n military auto mobile, navo it como hero nt once. I have a little mntter at Tourvlllo to attend to, personally," Streetman said. As ho lay bound In the cellar ho had heard almost every word of Larry's Instructions to the pseudo Mudamo de Lordc. "Your hands up this time!" Strcct man snapped the moment Captain Red mond stepped inside the public room of tho Lion d'Or. Larry obeyed with lightning nlac rlty. And ho guzed at Streetman open mouthed. "How tho devil did you get loose?" ho asked. "You aro going to die, my friend," tho other said, no was in no mood for footless explanations. Essentials were all that Interested hlra at tho mo ment." "Well, go nhead, and hurry!" Larry said somewhat bitterly. It was hard to lose, when ho had como so near to winning the game. " 'Tls not so pleas nnt standln' hero wnitln for death ns you seem to think," ho told Streetman. But his enemy was not yet ready. "No, you shall not dlo ns a soldier, but as a spy," ho threatened. "I could havo shot you as you camo In that door, but I wanted to glvo you a chance." "This Is a hell of a chanco!" Larry retorted. "At least your Information will never reach tho English," Strcetmnn Informed him. "I havo sent for a mo tor and I shall find tho lady of Tour vlllc. And ns you die, I wnnt you to take with you tho thought that not only has that lady " What taunt lay upon tho fellow's lips Larry never knew. For tho moment. Captain Redmond forgot his own dan ger ns ho caught sight of a small, light flguro that crept up behind Street man. It was Jeanno Chrlstophe but not the quaint llttlo Jeanno whom Charlie Brown had known. Pale. In tense, silent, she stolo up to' Street man like somo avenging fate. In her hand gleamed a long knlfo. And It was already raised when Larry gavo a smothered shout "Look out. Streetman! Look out bo hind you!" ho called. But Henry Streetman only smiled complacently. "Oh, that Is an old trick!" ho an swered. "I do not tako my eyes from you." Something stayed Jeanne's hand oven as It lingered In tho air. Perhaps sho quailed at tho thought of what she was about to do. Perhaps It was that sho paused to gloat over her vic tim. "My God, glrll What arc you do ing? No not llko that! Glvo him a chancel" Larry begged her. But llttlo Jcnnno did not seem to hear him. "Very dramatic!" Streetman said with a contemptuous curl of his lip. Ho was positive that Larry was sham ming. And then Jeanno Chrlstophe struck. With nil her strength sho sheathed tho knlfo In Streetman's back. Ho gavo ono groan nnd toppled for ward upon tho floor nt Larry's feet "What havo you dono?" Larry cried, horrified at tho tragedy. Llttlo Joanne wns qulto cnlm. Sho was no longer frightened. Something nkln to nh ecstasy filled her with a strango elation. Her great eyes seemed not to sco Captain Redmond. ' And 'with her white, pathetic faco raised i heavenward she said- "no killed my father. ... A life for n life! . . . Father, you aro avenged." Larry took ono swift look at that figure huddled upon tho floor. Street man had not moved. "nurry, girl, hurry! They'lt shoot you!" he said. Her answer filled blm with amaze ment "No, m'sleu, thoy will not," she told him. "They will think you did It I wuh there listening. IIo has sent a soldier to Inform them that ho has cap tured you, Captain Karl." "And tho girl did ho tell him about tho girl at Tourvlllo?" Larry asked her, whllo a horrid fear clutched his throat. "No, m'sleu ho did not ne had sent for an automobllo to go there. Ho would attend to that matter hlmsolf." Captain Redmond breathed n prayer of thanksglvlry. Ethel was still safe. Jeanno Chrlstopho urged him to hide. But Lnrry's first thoughts were of tho llttlo Belgian girl. Hurriedly ho ill have escaped that I wem that way!" ho whispered to Jeanne, pointing down tho road In tho opposlto direction from that In which Tourvlllo lay. Then Cnptaln Redmond crouched behind tho counter, whero Ethel had successfully hidden. When tho major and his men found the stricken spy In a heap on tho floor Jeanne Chrlstopho explained that as shj camo Into tho room another officer had pulled out a knlfo and stabbed Strcctman. Tho man was not dead. As his friends bent over him ho raised him self on his elbow nnd tried to speak. Drinking of Water motheiattentioni (BY V. M. MEUCE, M. D.) m low.WbM, m chU.

From a British Officer's Letter In the Forum. Why Labor Is Scarce. Hero Is one reason which you may have overlooked why labor Is growing scarcer every day In the United States: We have now In Pennsylvania alone 225,000 automobiles. One-third of them aro pleasure cars driven by chauf feurs, nn army of 75,000 able-bodied men; removed entirely from produc tive work. The army of pleasure car chauffeurs In the wholo country must exceed hnlf a million men all nonproducers. In deed, thcro Is another great big army of men building pleasure cars to bo operated by theso other nonproducers of essentials. They used to complain In Germany that every taxpayer had to curry n sol dier on Ids back. We vary It In tho United Stntes by carrying a chauffeur on our backs, says "Glrard" in the Philadelphia Ledger. Englishman," Streetman told them. In response to their anxious questioning. I rected her to go to Tourvlllo, whoro "Havo either ot you scon Captain Karl?" "IIo Is with Major von Brculff," Ltcultmant Baum replied. Mndaino dcLordc would aid her. "Tell mndamo not to wait for me,'" Larry said, "but to go on alone." Even as he spoke lw heard footsteps. ' "Say I He Gave One Groan and Toppled For ward. But ho could only mutter a few dis connected words. "The English spy? Where did he yo?" Von Brenlg asked him. By a mlclity effort Strcotman man aged to answer him. "Tourvlllel" he said. The Germans lost no tlmo in call ing out tho guard. They did not In tend to let their quarry escape. And they at onco rushed out of tho Inn and hurried down the street Finding himself nlono In tho roon, Captnln Redmond picked up tho tele phone thu instrument that Ethol had tried so unsuccessfully to use. "Hello, hello! Tl.ls Is Courvoblerl" hf said to tho person who Immediately niswercd him In French. "They're marching by tho left fork, at mid night!" He dropped tho telephone then. And he glanced nt Streetman, who lay qulto still. "Trench 27 eh?" Larry said reflectively. Already ho wns altering his plans to suit the ro dulremcnts of tho occasion. Then his hand traveled swiftly to his rovolver butt as a Gormnn soldier-chauffeur threw open tho door ami saluted. "What Is It?" Lnrry asked. "An ofllcer hero ordered an auto mobile. For whom is it?" "Ah, yes it Is for me," Captain Redmond said. He remembered then , that Streetman had sent for a car, with the Intention of following Ethel. "To Tourvlllo?" tho driver Inquired, ns they both turned toward the door. "No! To tho British lines!" tho Irishman answered. Ho sprang Into tho car. And the driver promptly en gnged his clutch. "Drive like helll" Captain Redmond cried. Tho chauffeur proceeded to follow those instructions so far as his limi tations would allow him. With muffler wldo open, they went tearing up tho road. And back thero In tho Lion d'Or Streetman struggled to rise. Falling that, ho endeavored to drag himself to the door. But ho was not equal to tho ordeal, no could only murmur "Stop him! Stop him!" in a weak voice. And since thcro was none to hear him, ho soon ceased his frnntlc efforts and 'lay qulc'ly in the middle of tho floor. C!-U.JTER XXI. . An Interrupted Game of Cards.

The worst of It was, tho Germans wcro ready, and tho allies wero not. Tho British expeditionary forco num bered but a handful of men, compared to tho hosts from across tho Rhine.

Ono evening while at tending a dinner given In his honor he met tho little daughter of his host, who, though too well-bred to stare, eyed him, covertly as the occasion presented itself, finally venturing a remark : "And you are really and truly an English lord?" "Yes," ho answered pleasantly, "really and truly." "I have often thought I would like to see an English lord," she went on, "and and " "And now you arc satisfied," he In terrupted, lnughlng.
