Modern Intrenchino,

time when the speed Of rifle bullets be-

soft earth.
Such intrenching is only just over
a hundred years old, in fact. The

""No!"
"The orders are for you to play the
game just as you are playing it. When
we strike, 1t must be the last blow.
All this hide-and-seek business may
look foolish to you. It's like that Jap
anese game called 90 1t looks sim

side It. Can you find your way back
all right?"

"Well, you'd better be going. That's
all the light have, in this torch here.

Norton stole away with great eau
tion. His first intention was to pro-
ceed straight to the city, but de-
spite his resolution he found himself
within a quarter of an hour gazing
up at the windows of the Hargreave
house. Not at home!"
Quite unconscious of the fact, he
was as close to death as any mortal
man might care to be. The police
man suddenly looming up under the
arc lamp proved to be his savior.
The lull made Jones doubly alert.
He was positive that they were pre-
pairing to strike again. But from what
direction and in what manner? He
had not met the gift of clairvoyance,
so he had to wait; and waiting is a
terrible game when perhaps death Is
balancing the scales. 1t is always
easier to make an assault than to
await 1t; and it is a good general who
always finds himself prepared.
But 1t made his heart ache to watch
the child. She went about cheerfully
when any one was in the room with
her. Many a time, however, he had
stolen to the door of her bedroom and
heard the heart-rending sobs, vain
attempt being made to sttle them
among the pillows. She was only
eighteen; 1t was first love; and first
loves are pale, evanescent attach
ments. It hurt now; but she would
get over 1t presently. Youth forgets.

This one was a mere fortune hunter;
a two faced one, at that. She was
never more surprised in her life when
he threw his arms around her. And
so on, and so forth, half lies and half
truths, till the patient Jones felt like
wringing her neck.
From his vantage point the butler
smiled ironically. He could read the
heart of this Perigoff woman as he
could read the page-of-a book. The
effrontery! And all the while he
must gravely admit her and pretend
when the blood rioted in his veins at
the sight of her. But he dared not
swerve single inch from the plans
laid down. 1t was a cup of bitter gall
and there was no way of avoiding the
putting of 1t to his lips. She ema
mated poison as nightshade emanates
it, the upas tree. And he must bow
when she entered and bow when she
left! Still, she had done him an in.

"No. I've just been wondering how

Norton sought his desk and began
rummaging the drawers. He was not
hunting for anything; he was merely
passing away the time. BY and by,
when the pastime no longer served,
he pulled his chair over to the window
and sat down, staring at stars such
as Copernicus never dreamed Of. Ships
