TEUTONS TAKE
 FRENCH FRONT

BERLIN, May 31 - With frsh troops the Germans let loose on the Freuch yesterday as never before in an attempt to hurl through their defence lines. So ferociOus was the attack that the French were forced fo abandon their offensive program and fall back on a compact defens- i've plan of action.
 Every form of attack and equip mrut was used by the Teutons to glin ground. Big gun bombardment vas supplemented by infantry charges aided and abetted by rapid fire artillery charges.
 Alter fighting all day the Ger mans succeeded in capturing the trenches between Deadmans Hill and CImieres. a distance of two miles. This gives the Germans the entire front between the two points and q position which they have been fighting for for weeks.
 The capture of Yerdun before August lst, is predicted by Ger man officers. It is understood that the Kaiser has quietly laid his uiIus for the greatest attack ever made In the history of the world.

CHAPTER XIII.
The Steps.


 esA Y ONSENSEY' said the gentle NI man from the admiralty. Sir Walter got up and left
 the room, while we looked blankly at the table. He came back in ten minutes with long face. 'I have spoken to A1Ioa," he said. Had him out of bed-very grumpy. He went straight home after Mulross' dinner But it's madness" broke in Gen eral WinstanIey. 'Do you mean to tell me that that man came here and sat beside me for the best part of half an hour and that I didn't detect the i'm posture? Alloa must be out of his mind''
 Don't you see the c1everness of it?' said. You were too Interested in other things to have any eyes. You took Lord Alba for granted. If it had been anybody else you might have looked more closely, but it was nat ural for him to be here and that put you all to sleep
 Then the Frenchman spoke, very slowly and in good English

 "But I don't see,' went on Winstan- ley. Their object was to get these dispositions without our knowing it. Now, it only required one of us to men tfon to Alloa our meeting tonight for the whole fraud to be exposed
 Sir Walter laughed dryly. ''The se- lection of A1loa shows their acumeR. Which of us was likely to speak to him about tonight?
 ''Or was he likely to open the sub ject?' I remembered the first sea lords reputation for taciturnity and shortness of temper.
 ''The one thing that puzzles me-" said the general, ttis what good his visit here would do that spy fellow? He could net carry away several pages of figures and strange names in his head" 1"
 ''That is not difficult" the French man replied. "A good spy is trained to have a photographic memory, like your own MacauIay. You noticed he said nothing, but went through these papers again and again. think we may assume that he has every detail stamped on his mind. When I was younger could do the same trick.''
 "we1l, I suppose there is nothing for 1t but to change the p1ans,' said Sir Walter ruefully.
 Whitaker was looking very glum ''Did 4ou tell Lord Alloa what had happened?'' he asked. NO? I cant speak with absolute assurance, but Tn nearly certain we can't make any SC Fious change unless we alter the geog raphy of England"
 'tAnother thing must be said" II was Rover who spoke. T talked free ly when that man was here. T told something of the military plans of my government I was permitted to say so much But that fnformat ton would be worth many millions to our enc mics. No, my friends, see no othel way. The man who came here and his confederates must be taken and taken at once.',
 ..Good Godr7 cried. "And we have not a rag of a clew.''
 Besides" said Whitaker, tthere is the post By. this time the news vii , be on its way" s'No," said the Frenchman. "YoT do not understand the ways of the spy

 lie receives personally his reward, and he delivers personally his intelligence. We in France know something of the breed. There Is still a chance, mes amis. These men must cross the sea, and there are ships to be searched and ports to be watched. Believe me, the need is desperate for both France and Britain
 Royer's grave good sense seemed to pull us together
 He was the man of action among fumb1ers But saw no hope in any face, and felt none. Where among the 5O,OOO, GOO of these islands and within a dozen hours were we to lay hands on the three cleverest rogues in Europe?
 Then suddenly I had an inspiration.

 He unlocked the drawer of a bureau and gave it to me.
 found the place. "Thirty-nine steps," I read, and again "Thirty-nine steps-I counted them. High tide 1O:17 p. m."
 There also was a drawing showing a flight of steps by the sea- There were scores of such places along the coast. It wasn't very definite.
 The admiralty man was looking at me as if he thought had gone mad. EftDon't you see it's clew," I cried. "Scudder knew where these fellows laired-he knew where they were go ing to leave the country, though he kept the name to himself. Tomorrow was the day, and it was some place where high tide was at 10:17."
 '"They may have gone tonight" some one said.
