(eutting down like wheat) the
charging Germans, only to have
them come TO life and advance
again.
Continues Two Days
It was four O'Clock in the
morning when the struggle, on
our front. commenced. Evident
ly it was a cavalry attack on the
outposts across the river. Two
French mounted divisions went
forward down the road at the trot
and the noise of a furious fight
came to us. We could see moth
ing. The French batteries were
in action from five o'clock but 1t
was eight before heard the
German iron dogs barking. I'm
mediately the French cavalry re-
turned and moved south after
reaching the protection of the
batteries. Shells tore up the
earth. The air seemed filled with
them. At first they exploded over
near us, but presently the range
finders found the crest of the
hill and the iron hailstorm beat
upon the French below the crest.
Two days 1t continued terribly.
Mostly / cooked at the field
stoves, making coffee and details
carried it in great pals forward,
with cooked meat and hard
bread. Constantly a procession
of wounded and ambulances
passed to the rear with swarms
of terror-stricken peasants. Twice
I heard the Germans had at
tempted to cross over the ruins of
the bridge by the ford-and had
been repulsed.
/ On the morning of the third
day, just after daybreak, | went
to the crest. There had been
two hours of almost quiet. I
could see far away masses NOV
ing on the plain. On the heights
smoke and eolors. Suddenly a
dark mass moved out from
hedges and woods more than two
miles away. Both sides of the
valley seemed to explode at once
and a hell of iron filled the
air. l watched the army of the
Hhtherland come. 1t came solid
~. in ranks as far as I could see,
south and north and east a wave
of men coming down the hills.
II was like watching q picture
film. Then the gun haze shut
out the view. the exploding
shells grew dangerous and 1 has
tened back to the kitchens. Ev-
erything was packed in the field
kitchen wagon ready to move.
We waited. shouting to make
ourselves heard. Two hours,
three hours-noon came and the
battle we could not see ragged on.
A swelling strestm of wounded
came down the read below us. II
was seven o'clock of the evening
when word came to retire. l heard

"SHOOT THE SPY!'--Amazng Narrative of a
German Spy-How He Penetrated Hostile BELGIUM

OF their engineers I have great
admiration and many of the Of
ficers were g0od-although dis
| sipated. The soldiers seemed
exeitable aud full OF rumors.
Also they were easily discour-
aged and the orders to retire
seemed to affect them much as q
defeat would have done.
Many-indeed most of those
saw-never had been under fire.
and another bad thing Il seemed
TO me was that the soldiers were
lazy about digging and impressed
civilians to handle the shovel

From NamUE we entTained for
Mons, where great preparations

twenty-four hours my major was
ordered to Tourna, where We saw

tiilery forces and some cavalry
and many British. among them
the Highlanders and the Royal
Horse. We were there two days;
| being unable to ascertain the
reason.
1t appeared to me the French
and allies were undecided, or else
outgeneraled. At Tourna saw
the first British, a Scotch force
passing through. We had been
at Tourna two days when my Of
ficer received hasty orders to
Compeigne and arriving there
in the midst of confusion we be-
came mixed with French, some
Belgians and British. There l
saw the African troops for the
first time.
There had been a terrific cav
airy action two days before (Aug.
23) and the allies were retiring
to new position. My officer and
his two assistants were assigned
to direct the work of fntrenching
along the Disc, between Senlis
and Compiegne. | heard him
complain of the difficulty under
which the engineers were labor

room.
Can I see the Baroness's signature?~ he
asked. The Baron brought him some letters.

of their marriage had been made miserable

foolish jealousy. things had suddenly changed
entirely, and jealousy seemed gone. They
were perfectly happy now.

You paid her literally, without doubt. but

you desired above everything not to let him

also served to bury the veronal which you
did not take. No one could swallow ten grains
about before 8.
There remains only to learn whether your
signature to the check is genuine or forged.
Madame Robina, of course, did not send you
the original note. And the photograph !

of certainty. But | think the signature is
yours. However, that does not matter. Even
