in that point-by- point manner which
she had felt across the tea-table at

made her think that she was wise to

to strike him.

For a few seconds only the duel
of argument Numbered in her temples
seconds in which her lips were part

with an agitation which the man at
her side could interpret as he pleased.
A prompting devil-a devil reused by
that thing in his eyes-urging a
finesse in double-dealing which only
devils understand, made her lips hyp-
notically turn in a smile, her eyes
soften, and sent her hand out to Yves

instant it rested on his arm with tell
ing pressure, though she felt it burn
with shame at the point of contact.

she said 1--WE must think of nothing
personal; of nothing but your work
until your work is done!"
The prompting devil had not permit
ted a false note in her voice. Her
very pallor, in fixity Of idea, served
her purpose. Westerling drew a deep
breath that seemed to expand his
whole being with greater appreciation
of her. Yet that harried hunger, the
hunger of beast, was still in his
glance.

she asked wistfully.

Quietly he began considerable cate

have learned two such vital secrets :?
How could it happen that two such
critical points as Bordir and Engadir
should go undefended? No tactician,
no engineer but would have realized
their strategic Importance. Did she
know what she was saying? How did
she get her knowledge? These, she
understood, were the real questions
that underlay Westerling's polite in

"But have not told you the sources

SAVING THE VENUS OF MILO
Extraordinary Precautions Taken to
Guard Art Treasure Impos-
sbIe to Replace.

When, during the war Of 1870, the
German army drew near the French
capital, one of the first measures the
Parisians took was to place the art
treasures of the Louvre in safety. The
paintings of Raphael, Titan, Paolo,
Veronese, Rembrandt and Rubens
were carefully packed and shipped to
Brest. There they could, if necessary,
be put on shipboard and taken from
the country.
It was not so easy to save the pieces
Of marble statuary, for their weight
and fragility made them difficult to
handle; but the French determined
that the famous Venus of Milo, at
least, should not fall into the hands
Of the Prussians.
So they took her down from her ped
estal and laid her in casket carefully
padded and wrapped. At night the
casket was taken out through secret
door and hidden secretly in the cellar
Of the police prefecture, at the end
Of certain passageway.
They walled in the casket and clev-
erly gave the wall an appearance OF
great age and dilapidation. n front
Of this wall they laid number of val
liable public documents, so that if they
should happen to be found their i'm
portance would lead the discoveries
to think there was nothing else hid
den there. In front of the papers they
built another wall. Here the Venus
of Milo remained, much to the distress
Of those patriotic Parisians who did
not know where she was and supposed
that she had been stolen, through the
siege of the city by the Germans and
through the disorders Of the commune.
One day the prefecture caught fire
and was pretty completely destroyed.
The distress Of those who knew that
the Venus was concealed there can
be imagined. AS soon as the fire was
extinguished they fastened to the sink
ing ruins and after some digging
found the casket, buried in heaps of
dirt and stones, but uninjured.
1t is understood that the Venus has
gone into hiding again this year, not
to reappear until peace is restored and
Paris is free from danger Of the In
vader.-Youth's Companion.

CHAPTER XVI.
Marking Time.

Soon after dark the attack began.
Flashes from gun mouths and glow
ing sheets Of fame from rifles made
ugly revelry, while the beams Of
search-lights swept hither and thither.
This kept up till shortly after mid
night, when it died down and, where
hell's concert had ragged, silent dark
ness shrouded the hills. Marta knew
that Bordir was taken without having
to ask Lanstron or wait for confirma-
ton from Westerling.
She was seated in the recess of the
arbor the next morning, when she
heard the approach of those regular,
powerful steps whose character had
become as distinct to her as those
of a member of her own family. Five
against three! five against three! they
were saying to her; while down the
pass road and the castle road ran the
stream Of wounded from last nights
slaughter.
Posted in the drawing-room of the
Galland house were the congratula-
tons of the premier to Westerling,
who had come from the atmosphere of
a staff that accorded to him mill
tary insight far above the analysis of
ordinary standards. But he was too
clever a man to vaunt his triumph.
He knew how to carry his honors.
He accepted success as his due, in q
matter-of-course manner that must in
spire confidence in further success.
"You were right" he said to Marta
easily, pleasantly. "We did tive did
tive took Bordir with loss of only
twenty thousand men!"
Only twenty thousand! Her revul.

lieved by the memory Of Lanny's word

VERY much nearer!" he answered
earnestly, as he dropped on the bench
beside her.
He stretched his arms out on the
hack Of the seat and the relaxed atti-
tude, unusual with him. brought into
relief new trait Of which she had

and couldn't help overhearing them.
Their voices grew louder with the in
terest of their discussion. I caught
something about appropriations and
aeroplanes and Bordir and Engadir,
and saw that Lanstron was pleading
with his chief. He wanted sum ap-
propriated for Notifications to be ap-
piled to building planes and dirigibles.
Finally, Partow consented, and I re-
call his exact words: They're shock
ingly archaically defended, especially
Engadir,' he said, but they can wait
unit we get further appropriations in
the fall!'" She was SO far under the
spell of her own invention that she
believed the reality Of her words, re-
fiected in her wide-open eyes which
seemed to have nothing to hide.
THAT is ALL" she exclaimed with a
shudder-"all my eavesdropping, all
my breach Of condolences! lift it,
and her voice trembled with the In
tensity of the one purpose that was
shining with the light of truth through
the murk of her deception--h WtD

been hitherto obfiv1ous. The cua.
queror had become simply compan-
ionable man. Though he was not sit
ting close to her, yet, as his eyes met
hers, she had a desire to move away
which she knew would be unwise to
crafty. She was conscious of a GER
tain softening charm, magnetism
that she had sometimes felt in the
days when she first knew him. She
realized, too, that then the charm had
not been mixed with the indescribable,
intimate quality that it held now.
tIn the midst of congratulations
after the position was taken last
night" he declared, 81 confess that
was thinking less of success than of
it's source" He bent on her look
that was warm with gratitude.
She lowered her lashes before it;
before gratitude that made her part
appear in fresh angle of misery.
"There seems to be a kind Of IA
tally about our relations" he went on.
Il lay awake bordering it last night"
