go to the infirmary and ask for a
pick-me-up."
The inspector seemed undecided
what to do. Once more he wiped
away the perspiration that was
trickling down his forehead. Then,
drawing himself up, he left the
office. When he was gone the see
rotary slipped the letter into a big
bundle of papers that lay on the
projects desk and went out by the
door leading to his own room.
He had hardly closed it behind
him when the other door opened
once again and the inspector re-
turned, spluttering:
Monsieur lie Secretaire
it'd be better if l showed you"
The unfortunate man was as
white as a sheet. His teeth were
chattering. When he saw that the
secretary was gone, he tried to
walk across to his private room.
But he was seized with an attack
of weakness and sank into a chair,
where he remained for some min
utes, moaning helplessly:
What's the matter with me?
80 Have l been poisoned too?
80" Oh, l don't like this; | don't
like the look of this!"
The desk stood within reach Of
his hand. He took a pencil. drew
a writing pad toward him and be-
gan to scribble a few characters.
But he next stammered:
"Why, no, it's not worth while.
The project will be reading my let
ter " What on earth S the mat
ter with me. / don't like this at
ALI"
Suddenly he rose to his feet and
called out:
Monsieur lie Secretaire, we've
got we've got to q It's
for tonight. Nothing can pre-.
vent
S~tiffening himself with an eff.
fort of his whole will, he made for
the door of the secretary's room
with little short steps, like an
automaton. But he reeled OH the
way-and had to sit down a sec
ond time.
A mad terror shook him from
head to foot; and he uttered cries
which were too faint, unfortunate.
ly, to be heard. He realized this
and looked arounl for a bell, for a
gong but he was no longer able to
distinguish anything. A veil of
darkness seemed to weigh upon his
eyes.
Then he dropped on his knees
and crawled to the wall, beating
the air with one hand, like q blind
man, until he ended by touching
some woodwork. 1t was the par
tition wall.
He crept along this; but, as i'll
luck would have it, his bewildered
brain showed him a false picture
Of the room, so that, instead Of
turning to the left as he should
have done, he followed the wall tc
the right, behind a screen which
concealed a third door.
His fingers touched the handle
of this door, and he managed to
open it. He gasped, "Help'
Help!" and fell at his full length
in a sort Of cupboard or closet
which the project Of police used as
a dressing room.
"Tonight!" he moaned, belicv-
ing that he was making himself
heard and that he was in the Sec
retary's room. Tonight The
job is fixed for tonight! You'll see

It's awful! Oh, the pain I'm
in It's the poison! Save mel

From the Montcllo plateau TO the

900 men and the chances OF his escape
without additional heavy casualties
seem remote. Large numbers oi the
pontoon bridges that the AuStrians
threw across the piavc have ben
swept away 10y the torrrntinl stfr;lh
and on all the sectors Of the 50 mlir

| Undoubtedly the Austrian high COM
mand had built largely Tor success on
the belief that the Italian moral" had
been shattered when. last year. their
great pinvrrs closed In upon th"
| Italian front.
Such belief. however. was entirely
erroneous. From the first onslaught
| the enemy met Il rcJuvrnat"d army
which fought him, with the greatest
g;lllantry. never ccding an inch al
ground unless IL WAS dearly paid for.
Aiding the Italians in the mountains
were British and French armies who
also fought nobly and everywhere de-
irat"d the enemy.

and AT several points farther south
where the Austrians succeeded In
crossing the river. the Italians cv-

against the enemy that he was un-
able to enlarge his gains and then.
