of cavalry-dark blue with red facings,
and a small, close-fitting shake with
red pompon. But what struck me was
his attitude of terrified surprise, the
whiteness of his face, the stare of his
small eyes. He thrust into his inner
pocket packet of papers that were in
his hand; his features relaxed in a
faint, sickly smile, and he saluted.
Monsieur startled me- he said, in
bourgeois French. 81 am arranging

Disguised as he was, and with. that
guilty look, 1 still knew that some
where, and recently, had seen him in
utterly different surroundings. But
there was no time for thought. Where

At the outer door 1 spoke to a guard
who sat on a stone bench summing him

HE is Colonel Cheeseman's interpre-

His name?"

And to the north we went on the wing.
Grevoir-Jacques Grevoir. The name,
the face, haunted me. Then 1 remem-
bered. Jacques, the servile garcon, at
the club Why had seen him only the
night before 1 left Paris. And what
did he here? CHEESEMAN'S interpreter,
eh?
Before I could pursue the peculiar sit
uation further we reached fork of the
road and stopped in a quandary,
FleiSchmann left the car to examine
for tracks. There was no dearth of
these, but they covered either road,
showing that horsemen had gone in
both directions.
Fleischmann hastened to a small
farm house near by, and returned lead
ing a sorry-looking plough horse.
'Tis no great affair compared with
your iron steed," he said, with a grim
smile; but l will manage. You keep

a smart gait.
At a small village I obtained infor-

hours later by a small body of cavalry.
So 1 pushed on, growing reckless in my
chase and running many risks on the
narrow, winding road.
At last 1 came upon them at the lit
tie village of Vartoux. Eight horses
were picketed near well. Close by six
troopers were lounging on the grass be-
meath a great tree, for the afternoon

There was no one inside. 1 turned to
the soldiers.
"Where is your Colonel?'
One of them saluted, with scant re-

twenty rods up the road. Thither 1
hastened, my heart beating fast with
anger and hope and fear.
