Goullon, representing Forney, init
mated that he would take the matter
before the court. Forney. however,
must languish in his cell in the county

the bail was excessive in that the

the charges of conspiracy and of un-
lawfully entering a room at the Hotel

Westerling."
A brief note 1t was, In farewell, be-
ginning with conventional thanks for
Westerling's confidence in the past.
II am punished for being right" It
concluded. 1T is my belief that Miss
Galland sends news to the enemy and
that she draws 1t from you without
your consciousness of the fact. l tell
you honestly. Do what you will with
me-"
1t took more courage than any act
Of his life for the loyal Bouchard to
dare such candor to q superior. See
ing the patchy. yellow. bloodless face
drawn In stiff lines and the abysma
stare Of the deep-set eyes In their
bony recesses, Bellini was swept with
a wave of sympathy.
Thank you, Bouchard. You've been
very incl" said Bellini as he grasped
Bouchard's hand. which was Icy cold

we shall kill two Browns for every
Gray who has fallen that we shall
yet see them starved and besieged
and crying for mercy In their capital"
replied Bouchard. He saluted with q
dismal, urgent formality and stalked
| out Of the room with the tread Of the
ghost Of Hamlet's father.
The strange impression that this
farewell left with Bellini still fingered
when, few moments later, Wester-
ing summoned him. Not alone the
difadence of q new member of the
staff going into the presence accounted
for the stir in his temples, as he wait
ed till some papers were signed be-
fore he had Westerlings attention.
Then Westerling picked up Bouchard's
note and shook his head sadly.
Poor Bouchardl You can see for
yourself" and he handed the note to
Bellini. Il should have realized ear
lier that 1t was a case for the doctor
and not for reprimand. Mad! Poor
