We will shift now to Miss Harding;
for a time let her mind be the crystal
OF our thought. A moment before Mrs
Moore came back and told Mr.. Wsde
that Captain Hanska would see him,
Mr.. Estrilla appeared at the door of
the parlor. Although they had seen
but little of him at Mrs. Moore's, he
was popular for Latin lightness of
temperament. cheerful and winning
smile. nimble wit wfrich lost nothing
because of his quaint accent, and va
rious, winsome. actor tricks which
Mrs. Moore called "capers." At that
moment they were singing "Yip-hi-
addy-hi-ay," then in it's first run. Mr..
Estrilla. bundled up in hat and mack

falsetto tone which was plainly an
imitation of Miss Harding's singing.
and whirled toward the outer door,
Miss Harding called:
Come in and sing!" But Mr.. Es-
trilla only pivoted through the door,
calling:
"Buenos noches-yip-hi-adGy-
Perhaps five minutes later, Miss
Harding went upstairs for handker-
chief. For a moment she was absent
minded--a rare thing with her-so
that instead of turning on the second
floor, where her room was situated,
she continued another fight and
brought up. suddenly aware of her
mistake, at the third-foor lantling.
Something held her there for q mo-

was an honorable girl enough, but the

tain Hanska's rather harsh voice.
"Oh, think perhaps I can make you
change your mind" came other ac-
cents which, Miss Harding reflected,
went perfectly with the personality
of Mr.. Lawrence Wade.
Some sort of a rumpus going on up
there" said Miss Harding as she re-
gained the parlor. Then remembering
that she must account to Miss Jones
for her presence on the third floor

ment-she added vaguely, You can
hear 1t just as plain!"
They had all stopped singing from
very WEAKNESS of voice., and Mrs.
Moore and Professor Noll had retired
to leave the young couples alone with
their devices, when Mr.. Wade ap-
peared again in the hall-this time on
his way out. Every one saw him
plainly, especially Miss Harding, who
sat facing the door,
Look who's here, Essie!" she whis-
pered in an undertone to Miss Jones.
AS she recalled it afterward, he
seemed a little pale. He cast no more
than one quick absent glance at the
group by the piano; and the door
closed behind him. Within ten min-

necessary to see.
Captain Hanska's body blocked the
door. He lay dressed in his pajamas,
the shrunken relic of what had been a
portly man-lay on his back with his
hands lifted over his head as though
he were clutching at the air. From
his breast stuck the haft of a great
knife; and from the wound the pool
of blood flowed to the threshold. The
match went out; and with common
Impulse Tommy North and Professor
Noll struggled to see who would be
the first to get back through that door.
There followed alarms, screams, the
running Of women, Mysteries on the
part of Mrs. Moore, who had started
from bed at Tommy's first cry. Tom

and resourceful young man enough,

into a faint. Upon Professor Noll de-
volved the masculine guidance of this
affair. And he thought first, not of
the police, but of a doctor. By this
time, Miss Harding and Miss Jones
were weeping breast to breast; Mrs
Moore had recovered to say that she
always expected it of Mr. North, and
Miss Estrilla, the invalid lady on the
top floor, had called from the head of
the stairs, What is it," With the
brutality which impels us in crises to
confide unpalliated horrors, some one
There came from above some Spanish

much attention, and then a rafting of

Professor Noll. his mind still on the
necessity for calling doctor, slipped
into ulster and bed-shoes and rushed
across the street to rouse the house
physician in the apartment-hotel. He
was some time making himself known
and understood. AS he neared his
own door again, he saw Mr.. Estrilla
entering almost on the run.
There's been a murder! Captain
Hanska's killed." Professor Noll
called after him.

fluttering lights, the screams and hys-

There was silence in the house.
Silence until half past two o'clock

BELGIAN TELLS
 OF BRUTALITIES
While Nursing Baby Wife Was Killed by German Trooper, Gays M.
 RrUgmann.

Paris, Oct. Z--Amid the multitude of people pouring into the northern and eastern stations of Paris was a highly intelligent Belgian, MT. Burg mann, of Es.iiEnes, who has been in the heart of the fighting zone on the frontier. His little child was with him.

CHAPTER XVIII.
A Change of Plan.


 That day and the next Westerling had no time for strolling in the gar. den. His only exercise was a few periods of pacing on the veranda. Fur cas, as tirelessly industrious as ever, developed an increasingly quiet insist ence to leave the responsibility of de- cisions about everything of importance to chief who was becoming increas- ingly arbitrary. The attack on Enga- dir being the jewel of Westerling' s own planning, he was disinclined to risk success by delegating authority, which also meant sharing the glory of victory.
 Bouchard's note, though officially dis missed as matter of pathology. would not accept dismissal privately. In flashes of distinctness it recurred to him between reports of the progress of preparations and directions as to dispositions. At dusk of the second day, when all the guns and troops had their places for the final movement un- der cover of darkness and he rose II oIH ulo ueSk, tHe InlnS that naQ edged it's way into a crowded mind took possession of the premises that strategy and tactics had vacated.

"There are three women on the grounds" said Bouchard. T have been against their staying from the first. l."
 He got no further. His words were drowned by the outburst of one of the younger members of the staff, who had either to laugh or choke at the picture of this deep-eyed, spectral sort of man, known as WOman-hater, in his revelation of the farcical source of his suspicious.
 "Why not include Clarissa Eileen 9" some one asked, starting chorus of satiricaf exclamations.
 "How do they get through the line 2"
 "Yes, past wall of bayonets ?"

 But the correct plans and location of their forts and the numbers of their heavy guns and of their planes and dtrigibles-your failure to have this Information is not the result of any leak from our staff since the war be- gan," said Turcas in his dry, pene- trating voice, clearing the air of the smoke of scattered explosions.
 All were staring at Bouchard again. What answer had he to this? He was in the box, the evidence stated by the prosecutor. Let him speak!
 He was fairly beside himself in a paroxysm of rage and struck at the air with his clenched fist.
