cheeks of her brood of youngsters who
were dreaming of the glorious morrow.
When she again dropped on the stool

"They are all snug an sound asleep,

YES" she answered, listlessly.

into her eyes before he said:
Something's worryin' you. What is
It? Don't let's start out the night be-

present for one of the children, or
what?"
She nodded her head emphatically

1t appears from his statement that
after Derode had been killed n Bel
gian coroner's court was the first au-
thoritative body to appear on the scene,
arriving some time before any repre-
sentative of the German authorities.
The court seized all Derode's papers
and examined them. These papers re-
vealcd all Derode's spying activities
and included reports of payments to
him by the German authorities.
The Belgian officials refused to sur
render these papers when General Won

reason General Won Kissing fined the
