first line and-and one place where where they are weak in the main line!"
 You dol" Westerling exploded. The plans of the enemy! The plans that neither Bouchard's saturnine cunning. nor bribes, nor spies could ascertain! It was like the bugle-call to the hunter. But he controlled himself. Yes. yes" He was thoughtful and guarded.
 Do you think it is right to tell?" Marta gasped half inarticulately
 Right? Yes, to hasten the inevit- able-to save liyesi" declared Wester- ling with deliberate assurance.
 Il want to see an end of the kill ing! r." She sprang to her feet as If about to break away tumultuously, but paused, swaying unsteadily and passed her hand across her eyes.
 We intend general attack on the first line of defense tonight" he ex- claimed, his supreme thought leaping into words.
 And you would want the informa- tion about the first line tonight Tiff 1t is to be of service?"
 Yes, to-nighti"
 Marta brought her hands together in a tight clasp. Her gaze fiuttered for minute over the tea-table. When she looked up her eyes were calm.
 Tt Is big thing, isn't it?" she said. "A thing not to be done in an impulse. try never to do big things in an inn pulse. When I see that I am in dan ger of 1t always say: Go by your self and think for half an hour!' So must now. In little while 1 will let you know my decision"
 Without further formality she start ed across the lawn to the terrace steps. Westerling watched her sharp ly, passing along the path of the sec ond terrace, pacing slowly, head bent. until she was out of sight Then he stood for time getting grip on his own emotions before he went into the house.

 You have it The position looks important, but so well do we com mand 1t that it is not really vital. Yes, the Bordir road is her bait for Wester- ling!" Partow waved his hand as II the affair were settled.
 But" interjected Lanstron, we have also to decide on the point of the main defense which she is to make Westerling think is weak"
 "Hm-ml" grumbled Partow. That is not necessary to start with. We can give that to her later over the tele- phone. can't we. en?'
 She asked for it now"
 Why" demanded Partow with one of his shrewd, piercing looks.
 She did not say, but l can guess, explained Lanstron. She must put all her cards on the table, she must tell Westerling all she knows at once. If she tells him pieeemeal 1t might lead to the supposition that she still had some means of communication with the Browns"

Then he turned Lanstron around toward the door of his bed room and gave him a mighty slap of affection, My boy. the brightest hope of victory we have is holding the wire for you.

SEEMS THAT INSTINCT ERRS
Deluded Rabbits That Make Homes In Oil Pipes In California
 Birds Grave Error.

That almost unerring instinct which carries animals through grave dan- gers has led in many instances in the Midway and Sunset oil fields of Cali fornia to their undoing, the Scientific American remarks Chief among such victims are rabbits and water fowl.
 jackrabbit and eottontail find a nice round. smooth hole. There are many such in the oil fields where oil piping is necessity for the transpor- tation of oil to the refineries The rab- bits decide to set up housekeeping there. The cottontail desires a per- manent home, and the jaekrabbit wants refuge safe from malevolent man.
 Soon they discover their habitat is being moved. No doubt they are frightened, but they instinctively stay within their retreat. One end of the hole is closed Even then they do not leave. Soon the other end of the hole is darkened. Then it is darkness eternal for the furry pair.
 Some time later it is discovered that d ue"iy 1dlu Oli plpG IS CuOheu. AIIer a great labor the line is disjointed and the remains of many rabbits removed Thousands of rabbits have been thus exterminated in the oil fields
 The death rate among water fowl Is even greater. Again, as with the rab- bits, instinct leads them to certain de- struction. Every little lake of oil in the vicinity of gusher is a trap for the minimizing birds At twilight and dawn these tar-colored lakes appear as bodies of water to the deluded fowl.

To Protect Shoes,

Patent leather shoes are very hard to keep in cold weather. but if few precautions are taken the shoes will survive all the cold without crack. Every time they are worn they should be rubbed for five minutes. When they are first warmed through by the heat of the foot rub them with the palm of the hand until the moisture of the skin lubricates the leather. Once a week put three or four drops of neatsfoot oil in your palm until warm and then rub it thoroughly into the leather. This treatment will prevent cracking.
