She returned to Paris and was frequent
" seen with young English officer i'll cafes

remark, for British officers have become
noted as the livclicst persons in Paris, since
Frenchmen have become serious. \ month
or so later she appeared before police mag

said that she wished to visit her lance,

hospital there.
Now, the port in question was the one at
which the first consignment Of the new
tanks arrived from England. She had
failed to obtain all the information she

the tanks could first be seen, she had gone
there to complete her work.

slowly building up the evidences OF her
guilt.
Early this Spring she came before the
Partisan public as dancer, her first appear
ance after q long interval spent in intrigue
and dissipation. Rather surprisingly, the
Partisan police ordered her performances to
be stopped on the ground that they were an
offense against public order.
This action was merely cloak to cover
up the serious steps that had been taken
against Mata Har Two weeks later the
announcement was suddenly made that Mats
Hara had been tried by court martial and
condemned to death for espionage. That
was on August Is. 80:
The dancer made despcrste fight for
her life She summoned every influential
friend she had known in prosperity to help
her One of the best lawyers in Paris,
Edouard Clunet, defended her. She OBJ
tanned an appeal, but the sentence was con-
firmcd by the Review Court on September
%, and later ratified by the Supreme
Court.
Every appeal having been exhausted, tho
sentence of the court martial had to be car
ried ont. Half an hour before dawn sne
was taken from her cell at st. Lazare,
placed in an automobile between two officers
and driven to the garrison town of VIM
ccnnps. two miles from Paris. The execu-
ton took place at sunrise. according to mill,
tary tradition The scene was the court yard
of the old castle The prisoner was placed
in chair against high wall with her eyer
blindfoldcd Twenty soldiers faced her, and
at the word of command raised their rifle
and fired into her breast. Thus Mata Har.
ended her troublous life.

time rhey proved great success and
helped to clean up many German trenches.
To the higher officers. however, there
were some disquicting facts in the way the
Germans defended themselves against the
tanks For this purpose the Germans en-
ployed artillery of a different kind from
that which they had lately used at the front.
The tanks were frequently struck by armor-
piercing shells aimed at that part Of the
armor covering the motor. These facts in
dcatcd that the Germans knew III advance
of the construction of the tanks and had

I 81
W. dancer, fell before the bullets of
w the French firing party at Vim
cerRcs the other day, there passed one Of
the most sinister brilliant and Ease mating
figures of the war.
After long trial and two appeals Mata
Hari was convicted of delivering the secrets
of the tanks" to Germany, and of many
shameless acts of espionage and treachery.
All her life she had passed in running and
fascinating men. In her early youth she had
conceived an overwhelming ambition to rnle
the other sex. Her greed for gold was in
Suitable. AS spy she was wonderfully dar-
Ing and clever.
Mata Harris maiden name was Marguer-
tie Zelle. She was born in the Dutch colony
Of Java, the daughter of a wealthy Dutch
planter and of native Javanese woman.
Her father died when she was a child, and
her mother, knowing TOO well the fate that
usually awaits girls of half-caste parentage
IN the East, placed her in Buddhist temple.
There she became bayadere, a dancer
sacred to the faith.
She grew up with a superbly graceful
figure and face which while not strictly
Beautiful, was highly interesting. She also
acquired the skill as dancer and the art of
adjoining herself in Oriental ways that after
wards made her brilliant success on the
stage.
While she was dancing in temple fcsti-
val, Dutch army officer of Scotch descent,
named Macleod fell in love with her. He
purchased her release from the temple
priests and married her. According to some
authorities Campbell Macleod was the heir
of a Scotch baronetcy and at one time his
wife called herself Lady Macleod" Their
married life was stormy one, but lasted for
several years, with Interruptions They had
two children boy and girl. The boy
died and the mother shot a man she sus-
pected of poisoning him.
The scandal caused by this tragedy and
the lack Of money for she had used up all
her husband s fortune, and other circun-
stances. made her feel that it was time to
abandon the East. She left her husband and
went to Paris There she adopted the Jaw
anese name "AIata Hari. meaning Star of
the Morning." and went on the stage as
dancer. She gave adaptations Of ;hc dances
she had learnt in the temple and won an
immediate success. London, Berlin and
Petrograd. as well as Paris, applauded her
performances.
