When Brouillard reached the side

deserted. But in the eastern residence
district, and we'll around to the north,
new storm-centers were marked by the
increasing number Of fires. Brouillard
stopped and faced toward the distant
and invisible Timanyonis. A chill au-

the heights and the blockading wall of

he turned and walked rapidly to the
government headquarters, passed the
sentry at the door of the mapping
room: and out OF the fireproof vault
where the drawings and blueprint
duplicates were kept took a small tin
dispatch box.
He had opened the box and had
transferred a slip Of paper from 1t to
