 For bitter moment I stood torn be tween conflicting emotion; then my eyes sought those of my poor patient. He spoke to me, but his words, curi- ously enough, influenced me in a way quite other than he intended "Ac- cept," he said in French, taking the one chance that they might under stand, and his eyes told me the rest I would be safe, and he-he didn't need to tell me-he knew how to die like a soldier.
 With .despairing gesture turned from him and faced the German gen. eral, for I could not bear to meet the eyes of the man whom had so strange ly, suddenly come to know I loved.
 'fI, will do what you say," I answered simply.
 with a voice so full of ghastly anxiety that it almost tore my heart from my body. A moment later the general waved him away.
 After he had gone the general smiled in a way for which I could have stran- gled him with my hands if I had not far more important and subtle part to play.

Fail us in the smallest par ticulAr and your lover dies like the dog he is" Sprfngfng to his feet and lean ing toward me until his face almost tosched mine, he glarcd into my eyes and thundered out, "Do you under stand?''

 ''This morning at dawn you will be taken by one of our men to a point where, if you go straight ahead about two miles, you will find break in the English line" In that way the German officer in command informed me that the time had come for me to make good my promise to play the spy. Con unufng, he said: t'It will be guarded, of course, by the patrol. When you are challenged you will call out 'Friend.'g : The sentry will say, Advance, friend. and give the countersign'-that you will, of course, not know, but he will see you are a woman, a nurse, and will not shoot. He will undoubtedly send you to the nearest headquarters, and

Robert Thompson Is a Real
Red BLooded Topeka Sport
He's Always One of the Boys at
the Traps or on Golf Links.

Thirty-third degree sports, like
thirty-third degree Masons, are never
very numerous in any community and
finding them is sometimes as hard as
trying to find pearls in peanut shells.
Every man is more or less Sportively
inclined one way or another, but the
real red bloods, like Theodore Roose-
welt for instance, who delight in
fling at any old game and put their
whole soul into whatever they turn
their idle moments to are in a class
with the rara avis the world over.
Topeka probably has as many
thirty-third degree sports per capita
as any city in the country, but if you
were a stranger in town and were
looking for a specimen of the species
! it is not likely that you would pick out
a specialized, ripe-whiskered individ-
ual to fill the bill. Yet, said indi-
vidual happened to be Robert 5.
Thompson that you came across you
would be overlooking one of the best
bets on the board if you did not spot
him.
He Is An Expert.
Bob Thompson, as he is familiar
ly known to his many associates, quail
| flies in every way for every honor that
goes with the comforting of the thirty
third degree of the royal order of red
! bloods. And, altho he has seen more
! than three score years roll up on the
pages of history-how many more he
and his family Bible alone know-he
IS still on the active list and will ma
nipulate gun or a golf stick with any
young upstart in town who has the
temerity to challenge him to a match.
Any kind of a mans game appeals
to him and he finds pleasure in al
most any form of athletic amusement,
all of which may account for his ply
steal hardihood, his undimmed eye
and his present activity in spite of the
burden of his years.
| Thompson first came into proni-
| nence locally in an athletic way many,
many years ago when he was one of
Topeka's star baseball players. Later
on he became an expert rifle shot and
of recent years he has confined his
activity mostly to golf and trap shoot
ing. When the Shawnee Golf club was
organized he becameNa member and
has been a frequent figure on the
course ever since.
Member of Gun Club.
For several years he has been one
I of the most active and most enthus-
I iastic members of the Topeka Gun
club, and what's more, is one of the
clubs best shots. 1t is no trick for
him to turn in a score as good as the
best and often better at the regular
