Ever since she succeeded in in
weighing Lieutenant Baum into reveal

road, Ethel had waited her opportunity
to telephone the news to the French
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 lulI in the move
ments of the enemy. Apparently they
had withdrawn to spruce themselves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
"Haltv'
Ethel turned. To her startled ewes
the room seemed suddenly full OF sol
diers. And giving a little cry, she
dropped the telephone upon the floor.
Lieutenant Baum confronted her
sternly.
"You are a spy for the Frenchv' he
said.

He ignored her protest.

to his men. And as they obeyed Ethel
cried:

stood there, while they covered her
with their rifles.
Then another cry Of "HaItr' rane

lowered their guns and saluted.
What are you doing?' Larry de-
handed.

planned somewhat peev1shly.

said as he drew nearer. "F'raule1n-
he began. And then he stopped short.
He had not recognized Ethel at hrst,
for her back was toward the door.
But now they gazed at each other IN
amazement. "a spy, eh?" Larry re-
peated. what makes you think so!'
"She went to use that telephone. 1t

said.
Excellent, excellentv' Larry told
him. Butt shall investigate this
matter"
"But Major Won Brenig-" Baum be-
gan.
Larry brought him up sharply.

minded the lieutenant. And at that the
other saluted I'm ten minutes" Larry
continued, you will report to Major

"In ten minutes, lieutenant
It is for the fatherland!'
''Ten minutes!' Buum replied. And
once more he saluted.
At a sign from Baum the soldiers
withdrew, with the lieutenant leading
the way.
Larry waited till the last man was
out of the roonN and the doors had
closed behind them. Then he sprane
to EthePs side.
"Ethel! They caught you at the
telephone?' he cried.
"Yesv That was all she could say
as she faced him pitifully.
"Then they knew; and twas trap
set for you?"
ooh, Larry, what will happen tt
me?'
He tried to calm her fears.
''There, there, my darling-no more
harm shall come to yOu!
Already his active mind was formu
lating a plan for her relief.
"But what are we to do ?" she asked
She felt helpless incompetent to act
to devise any means for saving herself
from the fate that hung over her.
"Now, my dear, since they know
you're a spy there's no great chance
for you to escape through their lines,
