CHAPTER v.

l was not familiar with the road over
which we were travelling, n could not
afford to be reckless with its many
turns. Better that l arrive a few min
utes late than not at all. Yet the pace
the giant automobile made seemed flu
rious to Fleischmann, for presently l
heard his heavy voice in my ear:
"Gott und Himmelli 1t is toe fast
"'There is no danger" l shouted back.
'I know the machine as you know
your horse"
Presently he spoke again:
1--WE shall be arrested at the chateau.
They will telephone from
ters."
1t was "a disagreeable thought.
Should a suspicion arise at camp as to
my intention, the rear guard at the
chateau would be ordered by Wire to
arrest us. But Fleischmann rose to the
OCCASION. as he did so often in times OF
trouble. once more l heard his voice at
my ear:
| glanced upward where, at the side
OF the road, two strands of wire We're
supported on iron poles or on V
lent trees. / had seen the signal corps

upper wire. of heavy coppe was the
through line, extending back across the
Meuse, into Lorraine, and thence, by
established lines, south into the Nosges
Mountains, where it connected with the
army of the Crown Prince, operating on
the southeastern border. The other
wire, or iron, was a local" running
only from the chateau to the headquar-
tiers on the Aisne River.
1t was a daring act-deliberately to
sever this line of communication. Yet
we were well into the affair now and
must see 1t through.
l slackened speed and Fleischmann
sprang from the car. The wires were
here fastened to a tall poplar. He
Skinned up the tree. and, taking hold
of the "local' with both hands, swung
out upon it. The slender strand broke
clean at the i~nsulator and Fleischmann

came down on hands and feet. like a
cat. A moment later We were OF AGAIN
at full speed.
But forty minutes a passed When l
saw, far away to the southeast, a nut
ter of white high in the trees. 1t was
the balloon case-the ms OF La
Jaune-and / knew we We're neal the
end of our run.
The infantry guard at the gate recog-
nized my uniform and saluted as we
swept through the gates. At the porte
cochere l set the brake, leaped from the
car and rushed into the chateau, my
sword clanking o~minously behind me.
There was no change in the appear
ance of the rooms, save that they were
deserted. The tables were still Uttered
with papers. Blankets lay upon the
cots just as they had been thrown back
when the sleepers arose. 1t seemed a
dead place: yet with a great hope IN
my heart that | might find Aimee there
| passed quietly through the carpeted
parlors and on to the small family din
ing-room beyond. which had been re-
served for the Emperor's private apart
ment.
/ threw back the heavy curtain at the
DOORWAY. A man stood within. He had
risen suddenly to his feet from a chalr
by a small table on which lay papers
ana maps left by the Emperor. He

wore the uniform of a Prussian private
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
w~hiteness of his face, the stare of his
small eyes. He thrust into his inner
pocket a packet of papers that were in
his hand, his features relaxed in a
faint, sickly smile, and he saluted.
p "Monsieur startled me- he said, in
bourgeois French. 81 am arranging
these papers which have been left be-
hind"
Disguised as he was, and with that
guilty look. | still knew that some
where, and recently, l had seen him In
utterly different surroundings. But
there was no time for thought. Where
is your Colonel-Griesman?' | asked.
He is not here. He has gone-north,
since daylight, after the spy
l turned back and met Fleischmann.
"Mademoiselle is not here" he said.
"nor is Griesman. We must follow
them"
AT the outer door | spoke to a guard
Who sat on a stone bench summing him
self: "Who is the man within?'
HE is Colonel Cheeseman's interpre-
ter he replied.
"His name?"
Jacques Grevoir."
"Ah, a Frenchman?"
mo, a Belgian"
l hurried down the steps. Fleisch-
mann was already in the car. ITO the
north,' he said, as l took my seat.
And to the north we went on the wing.
Greyoir-Jacques Grevoir. The name,
the face, haunted me. Then | remem-
bered. Jacques. the servile garcon, at
the club! Why had seen him ~ the
night before | left Paris. And what
did he here? CHEESEMAN'S Interpreter,
Ell?
Before l could pursue the peculiar sit
uation further we reached a fork of the
road and stopped in a %quandary.
Fleischmann left the a to examine
for tracks. There was no dearth of
these, but they covered either road,
showing that norsemen had gone in
both directions.
Fleischmann FASTENED to a small
farm house neal by. and returned lead
ing a sorry-looking plough horse.
IT'S no great affair compared with
your iron steed,' he said, with a grim
smile; 'but l will manage. You keep
ahead and 1 will turn to the left The

you do not find her, cut across and

He swung to the saddle and rode off at
a smart gait.
At a small village l obtained infor-
nation that a party, in three carriages,
had passed at sunrise, ollowed a Few
hours later by a small body of cavalry.

machine to stop, rushed toward it.

further advantage of closing on the shoulders, being

the frock would be quite fetching. For the medium
