Ore against threo which was welcome
to her. "Then," he added "and

"Then!" she ropeatod, averting her
glance. "Then" There tho devil
endod tho sentence and eho withdrew
her hand and felt the relief of one es
caping suffocation, to And that he had
realized that anything further during
that Interview would bo bauallty and
was rising to go.
"I don't, fool decent!" she thought.
"Society turnod on Minna for a hu
man weakness, but 1 I'm not a human
being! I am one of tho pawns of tho
machine of war!"
Walking slowly with lowered hend
m she left tho arbor, eho almost ran
into Bouchard, who apologized with
tho slnglo word "Pardon!" as ho lifted
his cap In overdone courtesy, which
hli stolid brevity mado the moro con
spicuous. "Miss Galland, you seem lost In ab
straction," ho said In sudden loquac
ity. "I am almost on tho point of
accusing you of being a poot."
"Accusing!" she ropllod. "Thon you
must think that 1 would write bad
poetry."
"On the contrary, I should say ex
cellentusing the sonnet form," he re
turned. "I might mako a counter accusa
tion, only that yours would be the
pic form," answered Marta. "For you,
too, seem fond of rambling."
There was a veiled challongo in the
hawk eyes, which she met with com
monplace politeness in hers, before
tee again lifted his cap and proceeded
on hl way.
For the next two weeks Marta's role
resolved Itself Into a kind of routine.
Their cramped quarters becamo a
refuge to Marta In the trial of her
secret work under the very nose of
tke staff. With little ClarlsBa Eileen,
they formed the only feminine society
In the neighborhood. On sunshiny
days Mrs. Galland waB usually to be
found In her favorite chair outside
the tower door; and here Minna set
the urn on a table at four-thirty as la
the old days.
No member of the staff was more
frequently present at Marta'a teas
than Bouchard, who was developing
his social Instinct late In life by sit
ting In tho background and allowing
others to do the talking whllo he
watched and listened. In his hearing,
Marta's attitude toward the progress
of the war wm sympathetlo but never
interrogatory, while nho shared atten
tion with ClarlsBa Eileen, who was in
danger of becoming Bpollod by officers
who had children of their own at home
After the reports of killed and wound

regularity. It was a relief to hear of

army were at stake.
"We mustn't get too set up over all
this attention, Clarissa Eileen, my rl

were sinking deeper under a heavier
frown. His duty being to get Infor
mation, he was gaining none, His
duty being to keep tho Grays' secrets,
there was a leak somewhere in his
own department. Ho quizzed subordi
nates; he made abrupt transfers, to no
avail,
Mcanwhllo, the Grays wore taking
the approaches to the main lino of
defense, which had been thought rela
tively Immaterial but had been found
ur iwdly placed and their vulnerabil
ity overestimated. The thunders of
batteries hammering them became a
routine of existence, Hko the passing
of trains to ono living near a railroad.
Tho guns wont on while tea was bo
Ing served: they ushered In dawn and
darkness; they were going when sleep
came to thoso whom they later awak
ened with a start. Fights as despor

was only a warming-up practlco for

and answered no questions. Gradually
tno Gray army began to fool that It
was battling with a mystery which
was fighting under cover, falllns. back
under cover a tenacious, watchful
mystery that sent sprays of death Into
every nngor of nosh that the Grays
thrust forward In assault.
"Another position taken. Our ad-
vance continues," was the only news
that Westerllng gave to tho nrmv. hlr
peoplo, and tho world, which forgot
us sports and murder, and divorce
cases In following tho progress of the
first great European war for two gen
erations. He mado no mention of tho
costs: his caBunltv lists wern sacrnt.
Tho Gray hosts woro sweeping for
ward as a slow, Irroslstlblo tldo; this
by Partow's own admission. He an
nounced tho loss of u noeltlon as
promptly as tho Grays Its taking. Ho

tho Grays thought It falso; ho made
Known tho namos of tho killed and
wounded to their rnltitlvne. Vnt thn
scorning enndor of his preaB bureau
included no otraw of information of
military value to tho enemy.
Westerllng nover wont to tea nt thn
Gallands' with tho other officers, for It
was part of his cultivation of great
noss to keen aloof from his aubordl-
nates. His meetings with Marta hap-
penea casually when he wont out Into
the garden. Only once had ha mndn
any reference to tho "And then" of
tneir lntorvlow In the arbor.
"I am wlnnlns battles for voul" ho
had exclaimed with the thing in his
eyes which she loathed.
To hor it was oaulvalont to savin
that she had tricked him Into sending
men to be killed In order to please
hor. Bhe dosplsed herself for the
way he confided in her: yet she had
to go on keeping his confidence, re:
turning a tender glance with one that
hold out hopb. Sho learned not to
ahuddor when he spoko of a loss of
"only ten thousand," In order to rally
herself when Bhe grew faint-hearted
to her task, sho learned to picture the

her own part, which never escaped
ner consciousness. One chamber of
her mind was acting for him: n. tine.
and chanibor was perfectly aware that
me outer was acting.
"One position more the Twin Boul
dor Redoubt, it Is callod," he an
nounced at last. "We shall not press
bard In front. We shall drive in
masses on either side and storm the
flanks."
This she was telephoning to Lan
stron a tew minutes later and having,
in return, all the news of the Browns.
The sheer fascination of knowing what
both sides were doing exerted It anoii
in keeping her to her part.
"They've lost four hundred thousand
men now, Lanny," she said.
"And we only a hundred thousand.
We're whittling them down," answered
LanBtron.
"Whittling them down I What a
ghastly expression!" she gasped. "You
aro as bad as Westerllng and I am
worse than either of yout I I an
nounced tho four hundred thousand as
If thoy woro a score a score in a
gamo in our favor. I am helnlne.
Lanny? All my sacrlflco Isn't for
nothing?" oho asked for the hun
dredth tlmo.
"Immeasurably. You have saved us
many Uveal" ho replied.
"And cost thorn many?" ehe asked.
"Yes, Marta, no doubt," he admitted;
"but no moro than they would have
lost In the end. It Is only tho mount
ing up of their casualties that can
end the war. Thus tho lesson must
be taught."
"And I can bo of most help when the
attack on the main defense Is begun?"
"Yes."
"And when Westerllng finds that my
information is false about Engadlr
then "
Sho had never nut tho Question to
him in this way before. What would
Westerllng do If he found her out?
"My God, Marta!" he exclaimed, "if
I'd had any sense I would have thought
of that In tho beginning and torn out
the 'phone! I've been mad, mad with
tne one thought of tho nation Inhu
man In my greedy patriotism. I will
not let you go any further!"
It was a new thing for her to be
rallying him; yet this she did as the
strange effect of his nrotent on tho
abnormal sensibilities that her acting
had developed.
"Thinking of mo little me!" she
called back. "Of one person's com
fort when hundreds of thousands of
other womon aro In terror; when the
destiny of millions is at stake! Lanny,
you aro in a blue funk!" and she was
laughing forcedly and hectically. ".I'm
going on going on like one in a
trance who can't stop If he would.
It's all right, Lunny. I undertook the
task myself. I must sco It through!"
After sho had hung np the receiver
her buoyancy vanished. She leaned
against the wall of the tunnel weakly.
Yes, what If sho were found aut? 'Sho
was thinking of the possibility seri
ously for the first tlmo. Yet, for only
a moment did sho dwell upon It be
foro sho dismissed it In sudden reac
tion.
"No matter what thoy do to me or
what bocomes of me!" she thoucht.
"I'm a lost soul, anyway. The thing
Is to nerve as long as I con and
then I don't care!"
CHAPTER XVII.
Thumbs Down for Bouchard.
Haggard and at bay. Bouchard faced
tho circle of frowns around thn nni.
lshed expanse of that precious heir
loom, the dining-room table of tho Gal
lands. The dreaded reckoning of tho
apprehensions which kept him rest-
icsBiy awake at night had come at the
next staff council after tho fall of thn
Twin Bouldor Redoubt. With tho last
approach to tho main line of defnnna
cleared, ono chapter of the war was
finished. But tho officers did not man
ifest the elation that tho occasion
called for, which is not anying that
they were discouraged. Thnv hnd no
doubt that' eventually the Grays would
aictato peace In tho Browno' capital.
Exactly stated, their mood waB one of
repressed professional irritation, Not
until tno third attempt was Twin Boul
der Redoubt taken. Ab far na results
wore concerned, the nicely planned
nrst assault might have boon a stroke
of strategy by tho Browns to drive
mo urays into an impassable fire zone,
"The trouble Is we are not In.
formed!" exclaimed Turcas, opening
his thin Hps even less than usual, but
twisting thorn In a significant manner
as ho gavo his words a rasping em
phasis. The others hastened to follow
his lead with equal candor.
"Exactly. We have no reports of
their artillery strength, which wo had
greatly underestimated," said the
cnier or artillery.
"Our maps of their forts could not
be leas correct it revealed to us for
purposes of deceit. Again and again
wo have thought that we had them
surprised, only to be surDrlnnd our.
selves. In short, they know what we
aro doing and we don't know what
thoy are doing!" said the tactical ex
port. There tho chief of the aerostatic di
vision took the defensive.
"They certainly don't learn our plans
with their planes and dirigibles!" he
declared energetically.
"Hardly, when we never see thom
over our lines."
"The Browns are acting on tho de
fensive In the air as well as on tho
earth I"
"But our own pianos and dirigibles
bring little news," said Turcas. "1
moan, those that return," ho added
pungontly.
."And few do return. My men are
not wanting in courage I" ropllod tho
chief aerostatlo officer. "Immediately
we get oyer the Brown lines the
Browns, who keep cruising to and fro,
are on us like hawks. They risk any
thing to bring ub down. When we de
scend low we strike tho nra of thnir
hlgh-anglo guns, which are distributed
tne length or tne rrontier. I believe
both their aerial fleet and tholr hlch.
angle artillery were greatly under
estimated. Finally, I cannot reduce
my force too much in scouting or they
might take tho offensive,"
"Another case of not being In
formed 1" concluded Turcas, returning
grimly to his point
Ha looked at Bouchard, and every
one began looking at Bouchard. If the
Gray tacticians had been outplayed by
their opponents, it their losses for the
ground gained exceeded calculations,
then It was good to have a scape
goat for their professional mistakes.
Bouchard was Westerllng'a choice for
chief of intelligence. Hie blind loy
alty was pleaBlng to his superior, who,
hitherto, had promptly silenced any
suggestion of criticism by repeating
that tho defensive always appeared to
tho offensive to bo better Informed
than itself. But this tlmo Westerllng
let tho conversation run on without a
word of excuse for his favorite.
Each fresh reproach from the staff,
whoso opinion was tho only god ho
know, was a daggor thrust to Bou
chard. At night bo bad lain awake
worrying about tho leak; by day he
had sought to trace It, only to And
ovory clew leading back to the staff.
Now ho was as confused In his shame
as a sensitive schoolboy. Vaguoly,
in his distress, ho heard Westerllng
asking a question, whllo he saw all
those eyes staring at him.
"What information have we about
Engadlr?"
"I believe it to be strongly forti
fied!" stammered Bouchard'.
"You believe! You have no Infor
mation?" pursued Westerllng.
"iNo, sir," replied Bouchard. "Noth
ingnothing now!"
"We do Beem to Ket Httlo Informs.-
Hon," said Westerllng, looking hard
at Bouchard In Htlent-o thn mm.
blnod silence of tho wholo staff.
This public reproof could have but
one meaning. He should soon receive
a note which would thank him politely
for his services. In thn ilArnnlvnod
phrases always used for the purpose,
before announcing his transfer to a
less responsible post.
"Very little, sir!" Bouchard replied
doggedly.
"There Is that we had from one of
our aviators whose machine camn
down in a emash Just as he got over
our infantry positions on his return,"
said the chief aerostatic officer. "He

waa In a dying condition when we
picked him up. and. as he was sneak-
lng with the last breaths In his body,
naturally his account of what he bad
seen was somewhat Incoherent. It
would be of use, however, If we had
plans of the forts that would nnnhin
us to check off his report Intelli
gently." "Yet, what evidence have we that
Partow or Lanstron has done more
than to make a fortunate mp.nn nr
show milttary Insight?" Westerllng
asked. "There is the case of my own
neuer that Bordlr was weak, which
proved correct."
"Last night we got a written tl.
graphic staff message from tho body
of a dead officer of the Browns found
In the Twin Boulder Redoubt." said
the vice-chief, "which showed that iu
an hour after our plans were tranemlt-
ted to our own troops for thn firt
attack thoy were known to the en
emy." "That looks like a leak!" flTolnlmori
Westerllng. "a leak. Bouchard, dn vm.
hear?" He was frowning and his lips
were arawn ana his cheeks mottled
with red In a way not pleasant to see.
Stiffening In his chair, a flash of
desperation in his eye, Bouchard's
bony, long hand grlDDed the tahin
edge. Every one felt that a sensa
tion was coming.
"Yes, I have known that th am xv tin
a leak!" he said with hoarse, painful
deilDeratlon. "I nave sent out every
possible tracer. I have followed up
every sort of clew. I have trans
ferred a dozen men. I have left nnth.
Ing undono!"
"With no result?" persisted Wester
llng Impatiently.
"Yes. always the same result! Tmf
the leak Is hero In this house hero
In the grand headauarters of thn nrmv
under our very noses. I know it is not
the telegraphers or the clerks. It Is
a member of tho staff!"
"Have you gone out of vnur hnni.T"
demanded Westerllng. "What staff-
offlcor7 How does ho get the Infor
mation to the enemy? Name thn
sons you suspect hero and nowl Ex
plain, if you want to be considered
sane!"
Hero wae the blackest accusation
that could be made against an officer!
The chosen men of the staff, tested
through many grades before they
reached the Inner circle of cabinet se
crecy, lost tho composure of a council.
All were leaning forward toward Bou
chard breathless for his answor.
"There are three womon on tho
grounds," said Bouchard. "I have been
against their staying from the first.
I"
Ho got no further. His word were
drowned by tho outburst of ono of the
younger members of tho staff, who
had either to laugh er choke at the
picture of this deop-cye spectral sort
of man. known as a woman-hater. In
his revelation of tho farcical source
of his suspicions.
"Why not Include Clarissa Eileen T
some ono asked, starting a chorus of
satirical exclamations.
"How do they got through the line?"
"Yes, past a wall of bayonets?"
"When not even a soldier In imi
form is allowed to move away from
nls command without a paBs?"
"By wlrolosB?"
"Perhaps by telepathy I"
"Unloss," said the chief of the aer
etatlo division, grinning, "Bouchat-d
lends them tho use of our own wires
through tho capital and around by the
neutral countries across the Brown
frontier!"
"But tho correct plans and location
of their forts and tho numbers of their
heavy guns and of their planes and
dirigibles your failure to have this
Information is not tho result of nnv

gnn,' said Turcae In his dry, pene
trating voice, clearing the air of the
smoke or scattorcd explosions.
AH were starlnir at Bouchard aenln
What answer hnd ho to this? He was
in tho box, tho evidence stated by tht
prosecutor. Let him SDoak!
Ho was fairly besldo himself in a
paroxysm of rage and struck at tht
air with his clenched fiat
" Lanstron!" he cried.
'There's no purpose In that. He
can t near you I" eaid Turcas, dryly a
ever.
"He might, through thn leak," said
tho chief aerostatic officer, who con
sidered that many of his gallant sub
ordinates had lost their lives through
Bouchard's inefficiency. "Perhaps Cla.
rlssa Eileen has already telopathlcally
wigwagged It to him."
To lose your temper at a staff coun
cil Is most unbecoming. Turcas would
have Hopt his if hit in the back by a
fool automoblllBt. Westerllng had now
recovered his. He waa again tho su
perman In command.
"It Is for you and not for us to
locate tho leak; yea, for you!" he
said. "That Is all on the subject for
the present." he added ltt a tone of
mixed pity and contempt, which left
Bouchard freed from the stare of his
colleagues and in tho miserable com
pany of his humiliation. .

NOTHING NEW IN JOKE LINE
Foolish Is the Humorist Who Would
Insist That This "Has Never
Been Sprung Before."
A reader of tho Docket in Nnw York
city cut out tho Item relating to the?
disolutton of partnership, In which
one partner makes tho statement that
"those who !pwo the firm will settle
with him, and thoso that the firm owes
will settle with Mose," and sends It
back to us with this notation: "This
was an old chestnut when I lived in
, which was in 1855." v
To this charge wo enter a Dlea of
confession and avoidance. Wo con
tend that tho courts will take Judicial
notice of the fact that there is nothing

The Incident brings to mind thn fol
lowing story: "The editor of a Minne
sota newspaper back in the '80s con
cocted the following: 'Yon Yonson put
four sticks of dynamite in the stove
last Sunday to thaw them out. The
handles were nickel plated and only
cost $10.'" A professor of English
