side reached their ears "a woman's
scream. And Immediately there fol-
lowed the sound Of a volley.
Major Won Brenig turned his head
and listened.
'sAh, mon pere!'' It was Jeanne
Christophe sobbing.
Already she had flung herself upon
her fathers riddled body.
Major Won Brenig cast reproving
glance at his naughty fellow officer.
"Good God-so soon? Without in
vestigation?'' he exclaimed. 'What If
he were innocent?"
But Streetman had no misgivings.
"Ah! It will be lesson to these
Others" he said carelessly.
IN the adjoining room Charlie Brown
and the German sergeant had heard
those shots. And now they burst upon
the two officers in great excitement.
''What happened? Is it the French"
Charlie called.
1T is finished the damned spy"
Streetman rejoiped.
What's happenedY" Charlie asked
again.
"A matter of war;" the major told
him briefly that is not on my con.
science" He was far from approving
Of Streetmans hasty action.
1.-THE execution of a spyw Streetman
interposed. And the words were hard
~ out Of his mouth before several pri-
Yates squeezed through the entrance to
the keeperless inn. There were two
files; and between them they bore a
stretcher, upon which there lay some
thing covered with sheet. A little
distance behind the gruesome process
sion Jeanne Christophe followed sob
bling.
One glance told Charlie Brown what
rested upon that stretcher-that it was
the body of someone who but few
moments before had stood there in the
slanting sunlight of the summer after
noon and faced the firing squad. Out
Of respect he removed his hat. He
did not know who the unfortunate
might have been. But nevertheless he
was profoundly shocked.
Poor devil, I'm sorry for him
whoever he was!' he said.
Major Won Brenig drew papes
from a pocket of his coat.
Here is your pass ne told tbs
American as ne handed him the docu
lnent. 1--WE have decided that you shall
go to Brussels" he added. The major
appeared to be in something of
hurry to speed the parting guest. he
was, as matter of fact, disturbed that
the unfortunate execution had taken
place under the very nose Of New
York newspaper man. And now he
wished to hasten Mr.. Brown upon his
way before he had further opportunity
to pry into the details OF the tragedy.
but as told you" Charlie Brown
began, taking the pass from the officer,
''as I told you, want to-"
''It is not matter for argument"
Major Won Brenig said sttff1y.
"And you had best start at once,
Streetman added.
Charlie Brown saw that his asp1ra-
lions to proceed back Of the German
lines were doomed. And now he &C
copied the situation as cheerfuliJ az he
could.

New Dress Belts.

A very new fashion feature are en-
circling dress belts. They are of the
gowns color and have in the center
front IN applied oblong ornament of a
bright contrasting color. This space is
often covered by an odd scroll design
done in beads, floss or metal threads,
and adorned with buttons and passes
menterie touches.

'Take him outy' That was Street
mans only answer.
Little Jeanne would not leave her ia
theirs side. AS they dragged Henri
Christophe from the room she still
chung to him. And still she shrieked:

Major Won Brenig looked inquiringly
at his colleague from the Wilhelm
