side reached their ears-a woman's
scream. And Immediately there fol-
lowed the sound of q volley.
Major Won Brenig turned his head
and listened.
"Ah, mon pere" It was Jeanne
Christophe sobbfng.
Already she had flung herself upon
her fathers riddled body.
Major Won Brenig cast a 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 a 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 p
Charlie called.
''It is fnished-the damned spy"
Streetman rejoined.
whats happened?" Charlie asked
again.
"A matter of war;" the major told
him briefy-"that is not on my con
science" He was far from approving
of Streetman's hasty action.
1.-THE execution Of a spy!' 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 a 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 a 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 wasp he said.
Major Won Brenig drew a paper
from a pocket Of his coat.
"Here is your pass" he told the
American as he handed him the docu-
lnent. I'VE 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 a 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,
las told you, 1 want to"
ut is not a matter for argument"
Major Won Brenig said st1f1y.
'And you had best start at once"
Streetman added.
Charlie Brown saw that his aspira.
lions to proceed back Of the German
lines were doomed. And now he &C.
cepted the situation as cheerfully as he
could.

NAUTICAL mile PUT
OUT OF Commission

Despite the war, the condition Of
motorboat racing and construction in
this country was proved to be in ex-
traorlnary condition at the annual
meeting OF the American Power Boat
Association in New York on Tuesday.
Several changes In the rules were in
stituted. The roster Of clubs showed
that the association had made a gain
of one member over last year. The
year opened with a membership of
tii; seven clubs retired and eight new
ones Joined.
The statute mile was substituted
for the nautical mile for all speed con
tests and all scratch races. The es-
tabllshment Of a speed standard based
on the nautical milo was found TO be
productive Of lot OF misunderstand-
ing, especially among the lay public,
and boats generally did not get credit
for the speed OF which they were
capable.
The question OF sharp turns in speed
races aroused a lengthy discussion
about angles OF turning, and II finally
was left TO the racing commission to
handle the matter. The commission
was entrusted with the settlement OF
a number OF other racing questions.
IL was decided that In order to race
a boat under charter the entrant must
have had the craft under charter for
at least thirty days prior to the date

HOUSEWIVES DAILY
ECONOMY CALENDAR
A Bottle Of Grape Juice.
By FRANCES MARSHALL.

Grape Juice is one of those reliable
stand-bys for which every cook and
housewife is thankful For II can be
kept always on hand, and It is as sure
to give good results In one sort of wealth
er as in another. Therefore, the clever
cook learns to make several desserts
and several beverages which call for
grape juice as their foundation flavor.
Grape juice sago is made in this way:
Wash cupful OF sago and soak 1t over
night in three cupfuls of cold water. In
the morning cook it in a double boiler
until it Is clear and transparent Mix a
cupful of granulated sugar with a cupful
of grape Juice and add this mixture to
the hot sago. Cool 1t and pour II in sher-
bert cups and then chill It on the ice.
Serve IT with cream or with a sauce
made of grape Juice, sweetened and di-
luted with water. -.....
Jelly Is made in this way from grape
juice: Soak a tablespoonful of gelatine
in little cold water until it is soft and
then add half a cupful OF boiling water
When the gelatine is dissolved add a
tablespoonful Of lemon juice, a quarter OF
eupful OF sugar and a cupful OF grape
juice. Pour 1t into a mould and harden
it on the ice. Serve it with whipped
cream
Grape juice sherbet Is easily made and
is as refreshing as lemon sherbet. To
make II, boil a quart of water with two
cupfuls of sugar for twenty minutes
Add two cupfuls of grape Juice and tho
Juice OF a pluppr lemon. Dissolve Q
heaping tablespoonful OF powdered geIa-
tine in cupful of cold water and add it
to the other ingredients. Cool the mix
ture and strain 1t and then freeze It.
Another way to make grape Juice sher-
bet Is to prepare the various ingredients
in the same way but to omit the gelatine
and the cupful of cold water in which 1t
was dissolved in the previous recipe In
stead, when the sherbet is hard enough
so that It Is time to remove the dasher
stir in the stiffly beaten whites Of two
eggs. Serve this sherbet in cups with a
teaspoonful of whipped cream on each
cupful.

driving and created continuous de-
mand for cars. 1t has kept the fac
tories running constantly, eliminated
"off months" from the retailers cal
endar.
The used car problem is still await
ing some one to solve it. although the
abnormal call for cars and improved
methods of disposal have considerably
lessened its seriousness. Dealers in
several cities have combined this year
and held a used car show. Some of
these exhibitions have proved very
successful. others have found auction
sales profitable and still others rebuild
their second hand cars into light
trucks.
