that this latest arrival was no other

CHAPTER XVIII.
Death Hovers Near Ethel.

Ever since she succeeded in in
weighing Lieutenant Baum into reveal
ing to her the secret of the fork in the
road. Ethel had waited her opportunity

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 luH in the move

mad withdrawn to spruce Themselves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 it up when she heard the
command
"Haltp'
Ethel turned. To her startled eyes
ehe room seemed suddenly full of SOL
diers. And giving little cry, she
dropped the telephone upon TIE floor.
Lieutenant Baum confronted her
sternly.
"You are spy for the Frenchr' he
said.
.'NO. NO! Let me explalnv'
He ignored her protest.
'sLoadr' He snapped out the order
to his men. And as they obeyed Ethel
cried:
mo, no, mol For Gods sake don't
Eh1ot me like that!" Trembling, she
stood there, while they covered her
with their rides.
Then another cry of "Halt?' rang
out. This time the command came
from the doorway. 1t was Larry Red
mond who interrupted the grim bust
urss.

Avalanche of Pockets.

Pockets started to be the fashion O
couple. of seasons ago. No one looked,
however, for the avalanche of pockets
which seem to have tumbled ON to
dresses for all times of day. On sport
coats and dresses they are so large
that they are really draped ON to the
sides Of the garment. They are most
" patch pockets, the tops adorned
with narrow fur band. In one or
two models the whole pocket is Of
fur like the collar and cuffs.

There is no getting away from It..
one must carry an elegant bag by way
of adding the correct finishing touch
to almost any toilet. The plain leather
bag is abashed in the face of its silken
and ornate rivals. 1t dare not be seen
except for morning marketing or on a
Journey. There is Juror for hand
s, me fancy bags, and they are all more
or less beaded and embroidered.
In the picture a beautiful bag made
of black taffeta shows how much is
done to enrich the fashionable bag
worn In the streets today. Utility has
been considered in 1t, as well as style
and beauty, and it is practical for car
rying the purse and other belongings
of its wearer.
At the top and bottom of the bag
the silk is bordered with band of
black velvet. Nothing makes so fine a
background for an embroidery of steel
beads. A single row of spangles de-
fines the, edges of the velvet borders,
and bead fringe hangs from the up
per one. A narrow band of fur adds
a hint of winter, placed along the band
at the bottom of the bag. The handle
is made of veIvet-covered cords twined
together. All the work on these much
ornamented and much-desired dress ac-
cessorles is done by hand and they are
the glory of the needlewoman.
Another equally attractive and little
more intricate bag for the fastidiousiy
gowned lady to carry is Of plain-col-
or velvet with sort Of pointed over

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

Streetman heard him with increasing
wonder.

He saw everything clearly at last.
''Then, by God! You're the English

turned to Larry.
Ethel did not wait for Captain Red

her. ''You lied when you said you

Streetman sneered.

even laughed at the thought, In spite
of the menacing revolver that Captain
Redmond pointed at him.
Henry! Henryp Ethel's holiness
had forsaken her now.
She could not bear to hear such
things said--and before Larry, of all
men.
II don't understand" Captain Red
mond said slowly.
"Then let me explain-since you and
she are in love. 1t may be OF some in

prayed for more complete revenge than
this.
