No word had come of any project Of

the sergeant's prediction had probably
proved false; yet the feeling in the air
of something impending seemed to
have communicated itself to the enc

A wiring party and a listening post

trenches, and Mark was on duty with

Mark saluted and went out just as
Hartley appeared at the door. The
sergeant major enlightened Hartley
briefly.
"You must have some pull at head
quarters, Weston" he said. "Do you
know Major Kellerman?"
"a little, sir" answered Mark grimly.
"Well, he seems to know all about
you, and he told the o. c. over the tel
ephone that he must have you. He'll
be your o. c. now for a while, so
things ought to run smoothly for YOU"
"He's not a doctor, sir"
"No, but the stretcher bearers aren't
medical corps; they're attached to
the TIL"
Mark hurried away. In the barracl
room, at breakfast, the two were the
subject of mingled jests and congratu-
latlons. The stretcher bearers, form
ing, as 1t were, the last supports Of
the infantry, shared with them the
great proportion of casualties. Keller
mans scheme was perfectly clear to
Mark.
He was in wretched state of mind
when the car steamed into the depot
at the end of the narrow-gauge line.
He descended into city, a mushroom
city of the supply and transportation
department.
A sergeant and corporal, with nine
or ten men of the stretcher bearers
company, were waiting for the two.
The little troop was returning TO the
trenches after five days of relief at a
rest camp.
you're the two men from the base
hospital?" asked the sergeant. "All

march,
They moved away down a slope and
began to pick their way along the be-
ginning of maze of trenches.
The roar of guns, which had never
ceased by night or day, and had long
ceased to be noticeable, was louder
now.
Suddenly the sergeant stopped.
"There was ten of YOU" he said to
the corporal.

Mark, who had been Flooding along
under the impression that Hartley was
following, turned round, to find that
he was the last of the party. Hartley
was nowhere to be seen.
The sergeant ran back few PAGES,
to return GREATNESS and red in the
face. "He's gone, the silly fool" he
spluttered. "Must have taken the
wrong turn at the bend. Go back and
get him !"
But Hartley was not at the bend

They crawled onward. The huddled

seemed to be already blending with

and there was no need to wonder
whether this was of dead or wounded
man.
The corporal swore.

His words ended in gurgle. From

five men. Noiselessly they flung them

He saw his two companions being
dragged, unresisting, toward the Ger

them; besides his immediate antago-
mist there was only one other figure
in the immediate vicinity, and that one
had half turned away.
And the thought of the internal trap
tor, never suspecting resistance on his
part, let the muzzle of the pistol droop.
Mark drew back his hand and struck
upward with all his might.
He felt the burn of the powder as
the discharged bullet sped under his
chin, he heard the startled cry of the
Germans; and then furious outburst
of machine-gun fire came from the
trenches opposite. Two Very lights

swiftly and silently that neither the

there.
Then Kellerman burst into hysterical
laughter.

pitched out of the army for treachery,
masquerading here in uniform. A
blank wall and firing squad for you

Ada Henson sprang between them.

peering into Marks face obviously.
She recognized Mark now, but Mark
could see that the recognition meant
little to her; probably he had been only
a trivial incident In her career. Lis

ear. "He has been drinking. 1t will

don't see anything. Understand? He
isn't responsible"
Mark turned away In disgust, but he
imagined the warped mind that caught
at this hope of secrecy.
He went back into the kitchen. The
soldiers were still there, one or two
hailed him; the incident had occupied
only ten minutes. Annette made a
little mouth at him from the doorway.
But Mark was searching in the room
for Hartley.
"Your friend went home, think,
monsieur lie soldat," said Annette in
banter.
Mark strobe out of the inn without
a word. Hartley's disappearance did
not disturb him. Hartley was strange ;
but he felt that he had relied too much
on Hartley. 1t was for him TO act. He
would go to the Major in charge of the
hospital, tell his story, and do the only
thing possible. He had no doubt any
longer that Kellerman and the Henson
woman were partners in far-reaching
conspiracy against his country, though
he had never before allowed himself
to accept the obvious deductions from
the Washington episode. His mind
moved slowly. His purpose had been
to redeem himself, he had thought
Hartley obsessed; now he meant to re-
veal everything.
And suddenly, out of the mist of
years, he recalled Colonel Towards
story of Hampton. Kellerman had
been the chief agent in Hampton's
tragic fall. Suppose Hampton had
been innocent! Suppose that Flea
nor's father had been brave and loyal
man, whose hideous ruin and abom-
Unable death might be posthumously
indicated?
The blood rushed to his head at the
thought of it. The burden of the
knowledge of her fathers shame, and
of its probable effect on her If ever
she learned had weighed heavily upon
Marks heart since that night in the
tent in Cuba.
Then the blood receded, leaving him
as cold as a stone. For he recalled
Ada Kenson's words to Kellerman. So
the hunter was hard upon the quarry

forced back his thoughts. strobe
