Stern, handsome in a high-beaked
Roman way, gray on the temples,
arm-lipped. he lay like an emperor in
harness. But the pride and resolu-
ton on his face were outdone by the
serenity of hers. Very surely those
two had been lovers.
Something-he could not decide
what-about the mans appearance
kept him staring for ten minutes hold
ing his breath unconsciously and let
ting it out in little silent gasps. 1t
annoyed him that he could not pin
down the elusive thing; and when he
went on presently to be curious about
more tangible things, it was only to
fe faced with the unexplainable at
every turn.
How had the bodies been preserved,
for instance? They were perfect, ex-
cept for that one detail of the mans
breast. The air was full of the per-
tune he had learned to recognize as
Yasmini's. but there was no sniff
about the bodies of pitch or bitumen,
or OF any other chemical. Nor was
there any sign of violence about them,
or means Of telling how they died, or
when. except for the probable date of
the mans armour
Both of them looked young and
healthy-the woman younger than
thlrty-twenty-fve at a guess-and
the man perhaps forty, perhaps forty
five.
He bent over them Every stitch of
the mans clothing had decayed in the
course of centuries, so that his armor
rested on the naked skin, except for
a dressed leather kilt about his mid
die. The leather was as old as the
curtains at the entrance, and as we'll
preserved. But the woman's silken
clothing was as new as the bedding:
and that was so new that it had been
woven In Belfast, Ireland, by machin-
cry and bore the mark of the firm
that made it; Yet, they both died at
about the same time, or how could
their fingers have been interlaced?
And some Of the jewelry on the wo-
mans clothes was very ancient as
we'll as priceless. He looked closer at
the fingers for signs of force and sud
denly caught his breath. Under the
womans flimsy sleeve was a wrought
gold bracelet, smaller than that one
ne himself had worn In Delhi and up
the Khyber-exactly like the little
one that Yasmini wore on her wrist
In the Cavern of Earth's Drink! He
raised the loose sleeve to look more
closely at It,
The sleeve overlap the mans fore
arm. and the movement laid bare an
other bracelet, on the mans right
wrist. Size for size, this was the
same as the one that had been stolen
from himself. Memory prompted him.
He felt its outer edge with a finger
nail. There was the little nick that
he had made In the soft gold when
he struck it against the cell bars in
the Jail at the Mir Khan Palase!
That put another thought in his
head. It was less than two hours
since Yasmini danced in the arena. It
might we'll be much less than that

The Waste of War

is terrible, but the waste OF
food in times of peace is
colossal. Rich and poor
alike eat tons of food that
has little food value-and
thisuseless food breaks down
the so-called eliminating or

cal and mental powers.
Shredded Wheat Biscuit
is all food, prepared by a pro-
cess which makes every
particle thoroughly digested.
It is 100 per cent. whole

FIREMAN ARRESTED ON PERJURY CHARGE
Couldn't Remember Details of Being in Custody in London

New York. July 7-Louis Henry Perlman, until a few days ago Presi- dent of the. $s,000,O0O Perlman Rim Corporation, and reported to have re- celved more than $4,00O,00o in three years on patents for demountable au- tomob1le wheel rims, was held yester- day before Federal Commissioner Hitchcock, on a Government warrant charging him with perjury.
 Assistant Federal Attorney Harper said the warrant was issued last Monday by Judge Learned Hand, in the District Court, and ever since then he said, Deputy Marshals had looked for Perlman in vain at his town and country houses and at his suite of offices at F,ifty-eighth Street and Broadway.
 MT. Harper asked that bail be fixed at not less than $5O,0 asserting that in 1895, in London, England, Perlman jumped $5,000 bail bond when ac- cused by the British postal authori ties of a lottery swindle.
 Perlman, Mr. Harper, told the Com missioner, ceased. about the middle of last month, to be President of the Perlman Rim Corporation, receiving $1,000,00O in cash and $1,000.OOO in securities of the corporation when he quit 1t. MT. Harper added that Perl man collected last year over $3,50O,- 900 in royalties, on his firm patents.
 Bail was fixed at $10,00O, which was furnished by surety company, and Perlman departed.
 The perjury charge alleges that June last, when testifying before Judge Hand in 9 patent infringement ,i% tH4 D4r against the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, Perlman swore falsely that he did not remember his London ca reer.
 The question put to Perlman, be- fore Judge Hand, was whether he had not been arrested by policeman in London, Jan. IT, 1895, in company with Edward Ames Webber and held for examination at the Bow Street Court on a charge of swindling by mail in connection with the promo ton of a concern known as the Oxy- zone Company.
 "I have no recollection of that in cident," was Perlman's answer.
 ''Do you or do you not remember that you were two months in jail in London?'
 "I don't recall. I cannot deny what I do not rem member.''
 Don't you know, said Martin w. Littleton, counsel for the Firestone Company, that when you went away from Jersey City, before you went to London, you were operating what is known and well known as the green goods game?'
 That I absolutely deny"
 Didn't you know a man named Kelly in Jersey City,"
 "I knew such a man, but I operated no green goods game with him.
 According to information from the London authorities and the United States consular officials in that city Perlman was indicted on a charge of getting money by mail under false pretenses. He was bound over for trial and jumped his bail.

At this stage of the battle, on a front of 2,00O yards, the greater part of two German divisions dashed for ward to the attack. Several strong attachments of German infantrymen, notwithstanding the severity of the French cannonading, succeeded in crossing the intervening space and obtained a footing in the French trenches at a few points. The de- lenders, composed of regiments from Southern France, who had originally captured the position, imm ediately counter attacked, however, and every where elected the Germans. Then they impetuously advanced and captured several German trenches, which they still hold.
 The whole action here, as at other points in this battle, was not a mere trench raid, but a carefully planned attempt by the Germans to reconquer Chemin-des-Dames as proved by the fact that the German infantrymen carried into battle their whole equip ment and several days rations. Hun dreds of their dead, many of whom were youths of the 1918 class, lie with packs still strapped on their backs in front of the French lines.
 The French commanding officers are enthusiastic about the undi- unfinished dash and vigor of their men, which they consider largely attribu- table to the moral and aid furnished by the arrival of American troops in France and the Russian forward movement in Galicia. The command ing general declared to The Asso- ciated Press that the presence of the American fighting men in his country encouraged not only the French sol- diers but also their commanders.

 INSPIRES FRENCH
Tables Turned on Grown Prince
 Who Planned Surprise Party

French Front in France, July (de- layed. .)-Personal initiative, combined with bravery and tenacity, won for the French a splendid victory when the Germans attempted last Tuesday night to retake the Chemin -des-Dames by a. most furious attack The commanding general, after inspecting the entire eleven mile front where the battle oc- cured, declared to The Associated Press:
 "The German Grown Prince had ar ranged surprise party for us. in order to offset the Russian victory in Galicia, but he knocked at the wrong door and received a disagreeable re- ception.'
 Before the enemy's attack began an uncanny silence reigned along this famous road, where the hostile armies are facing each other at close quarters. Suddenly the German bombardment opened, and it's intensity impressed the French general as being greater than he ever before experienced on the Somme, at Verdun or in the Cham pagne, where he had taken part in all the battle since the beginning of hos tilities
 The shell smoke was so thick and the fumes from poisonous and lach- rymosal shells were so heavy it was tmpossfble to take observations. The French general attempted to com municate with his battalion and artil- lery commanders, but the wires had been broken by projectlles. Then, to his astonishment, he saw his own artillery, without awaiting orders, open a barrage fire. He learnd later that his artillery colonel suspect ing that something was about to occur. had gone to much exposed listening g point and observed unusual activity in the German lines, The colonel. there fore. ordered curtain fire directed in front of the Germans.
