invites us to camp supper tonight,
and suggested to him that / might
be able to find you"
It was evident that Won Stamm was
hot on the trail. And the inexplicable
obstinacy of Popopoulos made our
chances of outwitting the baron ex-
tremely tenuous ones.
There was battle on the following
afternoon, and another two days later,
this one the most stubbornly contested
of all during the brief campaign. For
seven hours the Bulgarian artillery

waited for the order to charge that
could not be given.
It was not until three in the after
noon that King Constantine brought
up his howitzers and finally put the
Bulgarian guns out Of action. Then be-
gan the advance Of his majesty s
matchless troops. Moved down by
hundreds, they advanced steadily,
leaving behind them patches and pyra-
mids of tall Euzones, stark in their
starched white petticoats.
But ever at the head Of the advanc-
ing troops, devoid of fear, a heroic
figure among the bursting shells and
ripping rife fire, ran Popopoulos.
When at last, by almost superhuman
efforts and matchless courage, the
Greeks closed with them, we saw the
line of bayonets crown the hill, the
sharp hand-to-hand struggle; and then
the Greek flags went up, and the Bull
garians, utterly beaten, raced down
the hill in panic-stricken confusion.
Captain Murray turned to me.
ST think" he said emphatically, chat
our friend Popopoulos will at last
have seen as much of war as he
wishes"
And this prediction was true enough,
for on the top of the hill. heaped round
with stiffening corpses, we found
what had once been Popopoulos, but
did not now bear very much resem-
blance to him.
It was chiefly by the sword, clutched
fast in the right hand, that we were
able to identify him. The body was
entirely nude; there was a gaping

No doubt / can obtain permission from
his majesty, King Constantine, for you
to accompany me to England as my
aid"
Popopoulos turned abruptly upon
the captain. 81 prefer to retain the
formula, Captain Murray" he said
Understand, it is not that do not
trust you. Won Stamm knows better
than anyone whether can be pur-
chased. I have given my word, and
it remains. But during the remainder
of the campaign the formula remains
with me, where nothing can harm it."
"The rest Of the campaign" in
quired the captain.
Gentlemen" answered Popopoulos,
smiling a little sheepishly, "as a sol
der Of Greece I intend to fight till the
war is ended. I never guessed how
magnificent war is. It is divine, glo-
rious! And, as a patriot, it is my duty
to remain with his majesty's army.
The mans experiences of battle had
utterly transformed his views, and no
argument could shake him. Politely,
but stubbornly, he refused to hand over
the formula. After the war he would
accompany us to England; for the
present he. would continue 8 soldier
with the conquering Greeks.
There was not much danger to Po-
popoulos, for, as he had said, only
huge shell or bayonet thrust could
harm him. Against shrapnel the cloth
was secure; and shells that burst on
percussion are not used against infan-
try. Nor does one often come to bay
onet work in modern warfare. Inc
chief danger to be apprehended was
treachery on the part of Won Stamm.
"Well," said Captain Murray to me
at last, "it seems useless to attempt to
change Popopoulos' mind. However,
even if Won Stamm did get hold OF
the formula it wouldn't help him much,
because Popopoulos has conhded to
me one point that he didn't write
down, namely
A figure came striding across the

his horse upon the heights, crept up

He handed Captain Murray his army
revolver. The captain raised it and
leveled it at Popopoulos' breast. Be-
fore could intervene he had fired
point-blank at him.
The bullet seemed to drop at the
revolver's mouth. Murray stopped
down and picked up shapeless lump
of lead 1t burned his hand, and he
dropped it hastily.
Popopoulos, who was standing I'M

buttoned his tunic. Under the linen
shirt was net of closely woven, vel
lowish stuff like silk, exactly similar
to that which had covered his face.
Upon his breast we're a number of red
specks, and small raised lump like a
mosquito bite.
"Your bullet, Captain Murray" he
said, smiling. 'You see, nothing but a
huge shell or a bayonet thrust can
harm me. And I alone of all the
world possess the formula"
He tapped his chest, and now per-

The captain turned to me. "You are

banished the curse Of war from the
world"
The Greeks face fell. "Eh?' he ex-
claimed. 81 hope not. Why, mon

He buttoned his tunic and paced alb
sently among the rocks. We followed
him.
'Well, Mr.. Popopoulos," began
Murray, "as we are satisfied, suppose
you will hand over the formula to me.
