Two Prisoners.

Two Prisoners.
Herman Spier had made his escape
with the letter. He ran through tor
tuous byways of the old city, under
arches into court yards, out again by
doorways set in the walls, twisted,
doubled like a rabbit. And all this
with no pursuit, save the pricking one
of terror. >
But at last he halted, looked about,
perceived that only his own guilty
conscience accused him, and took
breath. He made his way to the house
in the shadow of the park until, an
letter now buttoned inside his coat,
and, finding the doors closed, lurked
in the shadow of the park until an
hour later, Black Humbert himself ap-
peared.

Humbert.
"Good night to you both," the girl
said, and gave Herman Spier a nod.
When she was gone, the concierge

Humbert was In high good humor In
spite of his protests. In his pocket he

Instantly Haeckel overturned the

He was in the passage before the con-

RESPECT FOR FALLEN FOE
How Scottish Aviator Dropped a

memory of a daring enemy fier is told

intrepid Scotchman, was told that the
man he had brought down the day be-
fore was a well-known German aviator
named Won Zeidlitz, and on behalf or
the Royal Flying corps, Tam was Sc
lected to take a wreath to the funeral.
1.-THE wreath in a tin box, firmly
corded and attached to a little para
chute, was placed in the fusilage of a
small Morane-his own machine being

minutes he IA pushing up at tho
steep angle which represented the x
IRENE angle at which a man a fly.
Tam never employed a lesser one.
"Evidently the enemy scout realized
the business of this lone British flyer
and must have signaled his views to
the earth, for the antiaircraft bat
teries suddenly ceased fire, and when,
approaching Ludezeel, Tam sighted an
enemy squadron engaged>in a practice
flight, they opened out and made way
for him, offering nc molestation.
"Tam began to plane down. He
spotted the big white-speckled ceme-
terry and saw a little procession max

down to a thousand feet and dropped
his parachute. He, saw 1t open and
sail earthward and then someone on
the ground waved a white handker-
