when he had satisfied himself. "Your
pardon, madame! did not under
stand" And he bowed deeply.
She acknowledged his apology with
the slightest Of mods. And with an as
sumed calm that she was far from feel
ing, she said to him in confidential
manner:
81 am here on confidential mission,
and one thing at once ! must know.
Tell me. lieutenant, by which road do
we march to attack the fortress at the
frontier?'
"By the left fork, madame" he an
swered without hesitation. That token
from the Wilhelmstrasse - obtained
from Streetman-had quite disarmed
his suspicious.
"Good! Goodw Ethel exclaimed. 81

MADAME is welcome" he said, with
another low bow.
Smiling happily, Ethel left him. She
congratulated herself, both because she
had escaped detection and because
she had obtained the information that
was so vital to the French.
AS he watched her departure, the
Young German officer smiled likewise.
1t was good to have few minutes
talk with lady of his own class after
the canaille with which he had been
obliged to mingle since the great drive
began. And, putting out his chest to
it's largest dimensions, he stepped into
the street. In his complacency over
work that he considered well done he
had entirely forgotten that there still
remained another suspect to question

CHAPTER XIV.
Mr.. Brown Finds His War.

Lieutenant Baum had been gone but
a short time when Sergeant Schmidt
appeared, bringing Brown with him.
The German "noncom" looked about in
vain for his lieutenant, who had or
dered him to fetch the American. But
only two Of his mates, Otto and Hans,
remained In the room, standing guard
at the street door.
Sergeant Schmidt was nonplused. 1t
was not like Lieutenant Baum to fail
one like that And he gurgled a few
throaty German words in his surprise.
There seemed nothing to do then but
assume the task himself-the duty of
examining his prisoner, for so he re-
parded the interested Mr.. Brown, who
was already making mental notes of
the proceedings, which he intended to
use for the establishment of the sto-
ries he would send his paper later.
Charlie had paused just inside the
door through which he had entered the
room. And now the sergeant beck
oued to him violently.
"Komm hierr' he commanded.
At that peremptOry coInnahu Mr'
Brown regarded him with mild sur
prise and total lack of comprehen-
sion. But the sign language was plain
enough. So Charlie drew near to that
formIda bIe-Iooking automaton.
"Was thust du hier" Sergeant
schmidt demanded fercely.
Mr.. Brown appeared to consider him
a huge joke. At least be glanced past

OTTO and laughed outright

Attorney Gives Opinion On
New Assessment Law

In accordance with a request of
the Levy Court to furnish all of
the assessors an opinion in regard
to the law requiring owners of
real and personal property in this
county to furnish particulars for
assessment purposes when re-
quested, Frank L. Speakman, at
torney for the Levy Court, last
week gave an opinion as follows:
THE law providing for such an
account is as follows:
Every person who is the own
err, or has the care and manage
ment of real or personal property
liable to assessment, shall give to
the assessor, if required, par
ticular account thereof, with the
name of the owner, which account
shall be in writing and signed and
dated. If he cannot write, he
shall show the property to the as
SCISSOR, who shall make an inven-
tory of it, and then he shall sign
it with his mark.
eff any such person shall give
in to the assessor a partial ac-
count, with a view to avoid the
payment of tax on the property
omitted, he shall, upon conviction
by indictment, be fined the full
value of the property omitted, if
personal, and if real, forty dol
lars. If he shall refuse, or after
ten days notice in writing from
the assessors neglect to render
such an account, or show the
property as aforesaid. he shall
forfeit and pay to any person who
will sue for the same, the sum of
ten dollars, one-half to the use of
the county, and the assessor shall
double his assessment, and certi-
fly to the Levy Court his refusal
or neglect
For the purpose of assisting
you in making a fair and equl-
table assessment in your district
the Levy Court has provided you
with blank forms on the margin
of which the above section is set
out at length, and Immediately
thereafter the following language
appears:
Pursuant to the provisions OF
the above section the undersigned
assessor for -- hundred
hereby requires you to render tc
him such an account Of your rea
and personal property within his

KING HER CHAUFFEUR.

The king of the Belgians, one Of
the most democratic Of European
monarchs, tells the following story {:
At Territet the king and queen
were motoring. His majesty was
driving and there were no attend
ants. The queen went into shop
to make some purchases.
The king was standing by the car
reading a newspaper when an Amer
lean woman came out of the shop,
jumped into the car, which she mis-
took for a public conveyance, and
bade the monarch to drive her
quickly to her hotel. Certainly,
madam" said the king, and deposit
ed the woman at the hotel.
Accounts vary as to whether the
king accepted or did not accept any
fare.
In the meantime the queen had
come out Of the store and was sur
prised to find that her husband and
the car was absent. However, they
speedily returned and their majestiei
laughed over the story together.
