II little Jan In his hand was small brown
Jug and his long, faxlike hair was rufied by the
breeze that blew In from the sea. Timidly and
quickly he crept through the garden. down the
long path lined by gooseberry and currant bushes
With the Jug In his hand he stepped out o. the In
closure and walked swiftly and with a more CON
fdent step along tho banks OF the canal. Now he
has left the path and. turning. walks short dis

hind the wall Of the great church which looms
darkly over the town. Sill ne does nct stop. but

gap where there IS barely room for one small per-
son to crowd through when strong hand Is laid

II is none other than he.
Little Jan silent.
II say what are you doing! what are you
after"
Still the boy did not answer
The burgomaster. catching him by the shoulder
shook him roughly Then little Jan recovered
from his fright

The hurgomaster demonstrated. He told little
Jan how the Spaniards lay encamped all round the
walls of the town, and how certainly If he fell into
their hands he would meet with cruel fate-per-
haps be tortured spy. perhaps even be put to
death. But the thought Of his dear mother lying
at home pale and sick. her white hands scarcely
able to grasp his fingers gave the boy courage
beyond his years.
