Two young Irishmen in a Canadian
regiment were going into the trenches
for the first time, and their captain
promised them five shillings each for
every German they killed.
Pat lay down to rest, while Mick per-
formed the duty of watching. Pat had
not lain long when he was awakened
by Mick shouting:
They're comm! They're comin'l"
who's comin'?" shouts Pat.
1.-THE Germans" replies Mick.
How many are there?'

Lepine, and took his leave.

81 agree with .you, SIR, said
Lepine, and took his leaye.
The Cafe DIES VoyaReun was
crowded when he reached II, and
he had some difficulty in finding
a seat. The marines who had been
searching the wreck had, at last,
been released from duty, and had,
with n accord fastened ashore
to refresh themselves at the ex-
pense Of q populace eager to listen
to every detail. The cafe hummed
with talk; weird and revolving
stories of the search were told
with gusto; the completeness of
the destruction was described; the
survivors dwelt upon their sensa-
tons at the moment of the ex-
plosion; the heroism Of the res
cuers was not forgotten; but, and
Lepine noted this with a little sigh
of relief, nowhere was there an
intimation that the disaster was
other than an accident.
He sat there for half an hour,
listening to all this, and, then, as
Crochard made no sign, he sum
monel the head waiter and re-
quested a word with the proprie-
tor. With a nod, as of one who
expected the request, the man
turned and again led the way to
the door at the rear of the room.
In there, SIR" he said, and
closed it when Lepine had entered.
A single candle burned on the
table in the center of the little
room, and beyond it sat man. At
the first glance, in the semidark-
ness, Lepine fancied it was Gro
chard then he saw that this man
was slghter, that his face was
bloodless, and that he was staring
with hunted eyes.
With a little start Of surprise,
he looked again then he sat down.
SO, Samson, it is you!" said
Lepine, quietly.
Yes, SIR" answered Samson.

CHECKMATE.

1T is evident that this affair
was not lightly arranged" said
M. Delcasse, and ran his fingers
nervously through his hair.
Lepine nodded gloomily.
You may well say soi'' he
agreed.
The two sat together in Delcas-
se's room, and Lepine had just
finished his report. Evening was
falling, and the room was growing
dark, but neither desired a light.
Everything has been thought
of and provided fol-, said the Pre-
feet, at last, even to the telegram
which gave an excuse FOR this

did mislead me-to convince us
that those other men were only or

foreseen that the police would in

vestigate the presence Of every
stranger in Tonlon. 1t was care
less to send both kilograms from
Brussels, but a coincidence so
small might easily Be overlooked.
On one point only was there an
oversight-they did not foresee
that we might trace them by
means of the money. There is our
hope. Sooner or later, the man
with the white hair will spend

he added, that he should be be-

Yes said Lepine, in a low

Delcasse was on his feet, strid-

room.
