TX Ia apparent, however, that the
greatest successes have been in Cham

man prisoners number 1855 men and

the total number of prisoners taken 40

therefore be seen that q great majority
OF these were made in the Champagne
district.

the bearer would shrug up his shout

He wasted his strength In that en-.

its legs and resisted with the stub

jerked his head smartly, snapped the

The miniature landslide that had
been caused by his fall went on,
settling gradually as the slope be-
came less sheer Only part of it, a
double handful of pebbles, gained the
bottom of the canyon.
Its mufled impact on the ground
round his feet reused the man who
had compassed the bandits death from
the pose he had unconsciously as
sumed on the instant of firing.
He stepped back, and snatched up
case containing binoculars.
Not before the glasses were adjusted
to his vision did he find time to re-
spond absently to the alarmed and in
sistent inquiries of his two compan-
ions, man of his own age and girl
of some years less. who had been
wakened from their sleep by the re-
port of the rife.
Now the latter plucked his sleeve.
momentarily DETECTING the glasses
from the object which they were fol-
lowing SO sedulously as 1t moved
along the heights; a wildly running
horse with woman bound helpless
upon its back, both sharply in sill
houette against the burning blue
"Alan!" the girl demanded, what
is it? Why did you fire? Why won't
you answer me? What is it?'
Judith" Alan replied tersely, again
picking up with the glasses the run
away horse that fled so madly along
the periious and narrow track of the
hill trail.
The name was echoed from two
threats as Alan swung sharply and
thrust the glasses into the hands of
the girl.
Judith" he affirmed with look of
poignant solicitude. She's roped to
the back Of that crazy broncho-help-
less! See for yourself; one false step
suppose a stone turns beneath its
hoof-she'u be killed."
While the girl focused her glasses
upon that speck that flew against the
sky Alan turned TO the two horses
