ALL BIRDS FLEE FOREST
Argonne, Where French and Germans
Are in Conflict, Deserted by Their
Natural inhabitants.

When the history OF the present Eu-
ropean war is written, the forest Of
Argonne will be recorded as the
place where more blood was shed than
in any other spot on the wide fields
of conflict The French made a stand
there on the first German drive to.
wards Paris, and, later when the
Germans were forced back, it was the
scene of weeks and months OF desper-
ate struggle,
Not bird is left il the forest and
practically every tree, which remains
standing bears the mark of battle, It
was swept by artillery fire time after
time, and was the scene of desperate
hand-to-hand fighting,
But 1t was not the first time, for in
the campaign preceding the battle Of
Sedan, in the Franco-German war Of
1870, 1t was the scene of many san
culinary struggles.
The forest covers a number of
wooded heights, 500 or 900 feet high,
in the northeastern part of France in
French Lorraine and Champagne. II
is about thirty miles long, and from
one to eight miles wide, 1t is bounded
by the sources Of the Aisne, runs along
that river to the Meuse and nortAward
to -Populeux, separating
stretch OF fertile plains from tho bar
rem steppes between Vitry and Sc.
zanne.

And now, as naturally as though
they had been lovers always, Lanyard
possessed himself of her hand.
'You cared as much as that!" he
said.
81 love you" she declared tensely-
81 love you so much / am ready TO sac
ridce everything for you-llfe, liberty,
honor"
"Hush. dearest, hush!" he begged,
half distracted between Joy and pain.
q mean It; II honor could hold me
back. do you think / would have bro
ken in here tonight to rob for Ban
non?"
"He sent you, eh?" Lanyard com
mented in a dangerous voice.
He was too cunning for me. ! was
afraid to tell you / meant TO tell-to
warn you this evening in the cab. And
then thought perhaps II were cold
and distant and let you go on believing
me the worst Of women perhaps you
would go away, save yourself. forget
me-"
"Never!"
81 tried to carry out my program of
lying to him, but he wouldn't have it,
They forced the truth from me by
threats"
"They wouldn't dare"
"They dare anything, tell you. But
it wasn't threats of personal injury to
me, but to you, If refused to tell them
the truth, the whole truth. They knew
enough of what had happened,
through their spies, to go on, and they
tormented and bullied me until / broke
down and told them everything. And
when they learned you had replaced

return and bring them to him. He said

fore morning. held out until to-
night; then, just as was going to bed
he received a telephone message, and
told me you were driving taxi and
were being followed by Apaches and
wouldn't live till daylight if l refused,
you came alone?"
NO Three men brought me to the
gate. They're waiting outside in the
park"
"Apaches?"
1.-TWO of them-I presume they're
Apaches, at least. The third is Cap
tain Ekstrom."
"Ekstroml" Lanyard cried in de
spair rs he"
The dull but heavy slam OF the great
front doors silenced him.

Incontinently-with as little cere'

in himself-Lanyard tumbled back

"Madame!" she bieated - they

couldn't stop them!"
IAN right Sidonie. Go back to the
hall. I'll call you when l need you.
Good morning, messieurs!"
One sergent advanced with halt
ing salute and a superluous question;
Nine. Omber-" But the other waited
on the threshold, barring the way.
Lanyard measured the two specula-
tively-the spokesman was old and
fat, ripe for pensionlng, little apt to
prove seriously effective in a rough.
and-tumble, but the second was young,
sturdy, and broad-chested, with the
poise of an athlete. Furthermore, he
carried, in addition to his sword,
pistol naked in his hand. And his
clear blue eyes, meeting the adven-
turer's, lit up with glimmer of inyi-
tation.

wastebasket beneath the desk.
Hope | didn't hurt you," he added
abstractedly-"but your pistol was in
my way!"
He took a stride toward the door,
then hung there in hesitation, frown-
ing absently at the woman, who, with
out moving, laughed quietly and eyed
LANYARD with twinkle of malicious
diversion.
The adventurer returned her stare
with one of thoughtful appraisal; from
the first he had recognized in her a
character of uncommon tolerance and
amiability.

abruptly; then checked himself In con-
strained appreciation of his impudence

two voices of heavier timbre-

test.
What is it?" Mme Omber demand

He uttered the word, "Police!" as he
turned and threw himself into the re-
cess of the window
But on wrenching it open the voice
of an invisible picket, posted on the
lawn, saluted him with a harsh warn
ing; and when, involuntarily, ne
stepped out upon the balcony, fash
of flame split the gloom below, a re-
port rang loud in the quiet Of the park
and a bullet slapped viciously the
stone facing at one side OF the win

CHAPTER xxx.
A Strange Interview.


Releasing the girl instantly, before
the crash had ceased to reverberate
within those walls, Lanyard slipped to
one side of the doorway, whence he
could command the perspective Of
salons together with a partial view of
the front doors.
He was no more than established
there in the shadow and shelter of the
portieres, when light from an electro
lier flooded the reception hall.
1t showed him first a single figure,
that of a handsome woman we'll be-
yond middle age, but still well poised
and vigorous of mien, lady Of COM
manding presence. She was in full
evening dress of such magnifcence as
to suggest attendance at some func-
ton of state. Even had he not known
we'll the features Of Nine. Omber, he
would have guessed her to be the mis-
tress of the establishment
Standing beneath the chandelier,
she was restoring a key to brocaded
handbag. This done, she turned her
head and spoke over her shoulder
Promptly there came into view sec
ond woman of much the same age, but
even more strong and able Of appear
ance-a woman in plain, dark gar
ments, undoubtedly madame's maid.
Handing over her handbag, Nine.
Omber unlatched the throat of her er-
mine cloak and surrendered it to the
servants hands.
Her next words were audible to the
eavesdropper, and reassuring in so far
as they indicated ignorance of any
thing amiss
Thank you, sidonie. You may go
to bed now"
MANY thanks, madame. Good
night madame"
Goodnight"
The maid moved off toward the main
staircase, while the mistress of the
house turned deliberately through the
salon toward the library.
At this, swinging back to the girl in
stride, and impulslvely grasping her
wrist to compel attention, Lanyard
spoke in a rapid whisper, mouth close
beside her cheek.
This way" he said, imperatively
drawing her toward the window by
which he had entered. There's bal
cony outside-a short drop to the
ground" And unlatching the window,
he urged her through it. "Try to leave
by the back gateway-the one
showed you-avoiding Ekstrom-"
"But you are coming!" she insisted.

The footballs Of Nine. Omber were

A sudden shock Of heavy feet tram
pling the parquetry Of the reception
hall, accompanied by a clash of yio-
lently excited voices, silenced her and
brought Lanyard instantly TO the face
about.

neither had received the least warn
