most jaunty response.
"Then you were in the English army.

"Say good-by to old Christophe for

sorry I didn't get his chicken dinner,

his hand out to the major. But hand
shaking fell outside German military
etiquette. Major Won Brenig saluted.

cautioned the American, 81 may warn
you that If you are found off the road
to Brussels the consequences will be
serious"
"In fact, you will be shot, my friend"
Streetman said, to make the matter en-
tirely clear. And he appeared not at
all uneasy over the contingency. In
fact he impressed Charlie Brown as
being irritatingly cheerful.
81 know you hope for the BEST"
Brown told him. He could not deny
himself that passing retort. "But don't
worry" he told the major. II won't
miss Brussels road. And. Streetman

up! I'll give you one good time!

lowered their guns and saluted.
what are you dolng?" Larry de-
manded.
"a spy for the French" Baum ex-
planned somewhat peevishly.
"a spy for the French, eh?' Larry
said as he drew nearer. "Fraulein-"
he began. And then he stopped short.
He had not recognized Ethel at first,
for her back was toward the door.
But now they gazed at each other in
amazement. "a spy, eh?' Larry re-
peated. "What makes You think SOP"
"She went to use that telephone. 1t
leads to the French" the lieutenant
said.
Excellent excellentw Larry told
him. Butt shall investigate this

"But Major Won Brenig| Baum be-

minded the lieutenant. And at that the

continued, you will report to Major

"In ten minutes, lieutenant!
It Is for the fatherland!'
"Ten minutes" Baum replied. And
once more he saluted.
At sign from Baum the soldiers
withdrew, with the lieutenant leading
the way.
Larry waited till the last man was
out of the room and the doors had
closed behind them. Then he sprane
to Ethel's side.
"Ethel! They caught you at the
telephone" he cried.
"Yesw That was all she could say

A Surprise for Streetman.

Well satisfied at the happy termina-
ton Of the episode, the major and his
men retired once more. And Larry
now found himself alone in the room,
except for a telephone sergeant who
stationed himself at the field instru-
ment which he had placed upon table
when the Germans first reached the
Lion dor. At least, there were no
others present so far as the sergeant
knew. In their consuming interest in
that trapdoor, not one of the invaders
had noticed Ethel as she crouched be-
hind the cigar counter.
Ordered by Larry to leave, the SER
geant explained that Major Won Brenig
was expecting a message.
Come back in fifteen minutes" Lar.
ry ordered. II will take any messages. !"
The fellow had no sooner gone than

CHAPTER XVIII.
Death Hovers Near Ethel.

Evtr since she succeeded in in
weighing Lieutenant Baum into reveal
ing to her the secret of the fork in the
road, Ethe. had waited her opportunity
to telephone the news to the French
front. 1t seemed to her that the Ger
man intruders would never leave the
public room, even for five minutes.
Meanwhile she had lowered near. And
at last she was convinced that the
coast was clear.
Cautiously she opened the door and
peered inside. She saw no one. So she
stepped into the room. For just few
moments she hesitated, to assure her
self that there was a lull in the move
ments Of the enemy. Apparently they
had withdrawn to spruce themselves
up after their long march.
She nerved herself to her task.
She stole to the fireplace, glanced
over her shoulder for one last hurried
survey of the room, and reached her
hand out for the instrument. She had
barely taken 1t up when she heard the

looked down at the contrivance at his

was in a devilish tight hole. And rack
his brains as he would, he could think
Of no way out.
Larry was right. The girl he loved
did hear him. Before Streetman had
said another word, Ethel leaped from
behind the cigar counter with her re-
volver leveled at Streetman.
Hands up! Hands up-or I'll kill
your she cried.
Streetman wheeled about In amaze
ment. And before he could collect his
scattered wits Captain Redmond had
wrested the German spy's revolver
from him.
"Ethel, my dear, you shouldn't have
mixed up in this" Larry reproved her.
Streetman heard him with increasing
wonder.
"'My dearw he repeated after Larry.
