Ws-.ace," he said. '"The fellow was bad lot. but. as you say. there may tc no rc:rt)n why this little animal should suffer for his sins. The mother was decent, and there may be something in that idea of q vicarious restitution. I'll agree, Wallace, If you'll let mo take over the charge of her till the wars ended. We'll enter her on the mess book and settle a fictitious percentage on her afterward, and may she never know her fathers history. By the time she's old enough to understand a mas cots duties, flirt with the lieutenantS, and plead for the trunks, maybe we'll have forgotten it ourselves. Good night, my boy. Take care of your wound. I'll send in that milk and bis. cult and a couple of cakes of naphtha soap, and a porcelain tub with silver trimmings, for you to make a start on her in the morning."
 He glanced at the sleeping child, took Marks hand and went quickly out of the tent. Under the sky he stood still for a few moments.
 "The d-d scoundrel!" he nut tered.
 At that instant his alert ear heard what the sentry, posted some distance

Insects That Have Food Value.

Among insects which have been and are considered of gastronomic value are caterpillars. moths, a faVorite in some parts of Africa; the pupae of tine silkworm in China; ants alive and roasted, are appreciated in Burmah, as well as by the Indians of North and South America, while it Is said the lumbermen of Maine enjoy an occa- slonal meal of large wood ants. The beetle is eaten in the Nile valley, in Turkey Lombardy. Java. Peru, and is said to be nutritious and fattening. In Central America the eggs of three aquatic bugs are made into little cakes and eaten. MeXicans make a strong drink by infusing tiger beetle in alcohol.

What are you going to do about Enr?" inquired the major, standing be- s!de the camp bed and looking down st Wallace uneasily.

 II suppose I'll have to assume the responsibility for her. I'll take her down to the base with me tomorrow charge of one of the stewardeSses on some liner"
 i've got a better scheme" said the major. Let me have her, Wallace. My wife will go crazy over her. You know she's always talking of adopting a little girl. She's got her ideal type in mind, and that's it. I was to look round for one like that if ever the chance came along"
 "Well, you'd better go on looking round, Major" said Wallace, irritably.
 "See here, my boy, you don't really want that kid, do you?"
 q do. I'll think over your proposi- jon, Major, of course, but ny sister would give her home and-'
 Let me send her to my wife. You can claim her after the war, if you want to, Suppose you got killed; we'd neither of us have her. If you don t let me take her I'll make you pay for it."
 "How?"

away, had failed to catch-the rustling of some moving figure in the dense jungle grass at the edge of the camp.
 The major remained perfectly m" tionless, except for his right which was swiftly withdrawing his rG volver from it's case. Suddenly ne was transformed into action. He leaped between the two last tents of the line, to see a man confront him for an in stant. In the light of the quarter moon the major could not distinguish how the intruder was dressed. It was evident. however that he had been prowling outside the tent which held Wallace and the child.
 "Halti" shouted the major and the sentry together, and, as the man drop ped into the grass, the rifle and revol- yer rang out simultaneously.
 The sentry, shouting to the guard came running up. The major and he searched the spot, but they found no- body.
 "One of those d-d Cuban sneak thieves!" muttered Major Howard as he replaced his revolver in Its case. And he hurried away to look after his men.
The spectator., 1918-11-29

and swung his arm. The pieces fell in the jungle grass far beyond the en- campment. Major Howard shied the purse after them and went back to where Wallace still sat upright on the bed. He noticed, with a certain grim ness of spirit, that one of the lieuten- ants hands rested on the child'S fair hair.
 "Well, Wallace?" he asked.
 Its damnable."
 "We can't exactly make his child the regimental pet, can we?"
 Wallace was silent, and the Major sat down on the edge of the bed be- side him.
 "I had orders to watch for him." he said. "He was to have been hanged as soon as we captured Santiago, That's why he was making for the jungle. He was detected and allowed to escape with his life, but he had been working as a Spanish agent since he was drummed out Of America. His career ended at the luckiest moment for him. lie seems to have had the one redeeming quality of affection for the child, though if he had had q par have left her behind him. I suppose she was the only thing he had in his WTetched life"
 "Of course there's no palliation, suggested Wallace. But the man may have been born good and-gone downhill."
 He was born rotten," answered the Major He sold his country to pay his gambling debts. Cuba was about the only place that would hold him, imagine. And to think that swine was once in our regiment! Sorry had tc tell you, Wallacew
 He hesitated a while; Wallace haC not moved; but the child at his side stirred and breathed heavily. The majors fists clenched.
 I'm trying to be just to the dead he said. But I feel that a thousand years of hell wouldn't atone for that crime, Wallace"
 Mark Wallace looked up. "rm not sure that I know all the facts abou the case, Major" he said.
 'The facts are that it was no sudder act of fear or temptation, but calculat ed, cold-blooded deliberation. Vt knew at the war office that there wa: leakage. It had been traced to th' mobilization division, where KellermaI and I were working. Even we were under suspicion for time. Then i narrowed down to Hampton and an other.

CHAPTER II.

He stopped, astonished at the way the Major took his suggestion. How ard began to Stutter, paced the inside of the tent for some moments, mutter- ing to himself, and then swung round upon his heel, facing the lieutenant.
 Good God, no, Wallace! Whatever put that internal idea into your head?" he exploded. See here. now! You're not we'll enough to talk this thing over tonight. Some day I'll tell you why your proposal Is impossible"
 That's all very we'll, Major. don't know what you mean, but If you don't like my proposition you know what you can do. I'm quite well enough to listen to what's worrying you. Dig it outv'
 T haven't time, Wallace. There's these stragglers to be sorted cut. Not that much can be done tonight, I sup pose. Sometime I'll tell you"
 He swung round on his heel and made for the entrance, stopped and re- turned.
 II suppose I'd better tell you now" he exclaimed. "I had thought it might be as well not to tell you ever. You don't happen to know who this child's father was-that man in the tent?"
 What do you mean, Major? Some settler caught by bullet, suppose"
 "Hampton!" said Major Howard, grimly.

 '"i q man who sold our mobilization plans to Spain?' he whispered, con- seious of sudden terror fer the child.
 The major nodded. "Its years since we worked together in the war office" he answered, "and, frankly, I didn't know the face. You wouldn't have, would you, after the work that the bullet had done? One of those d-d dum-dums. But--you didn't see this, did you?"
 He took purse from his pocket, opened it and shook out three gold pieces into his hand. That was on a belt about the body" he said. And there were some papers-not the ones we wanted but enough to identify him. It was Hampton all right"
 He went to the tent door and looked out. Here, Johnson!" he called.
 The negro servant appeared almost instantaneously within the opening and stood to attention.
 Could you use three gold pieces, JohnsonT inquired Major Howard.
 Well, suh, don't know as I'd Ob- ject," replied the negro. grinning.

looking young woman, little more than q girl, named Hilda Morsheim. One of those French-German Alsatians, Wallace. Kellerman got some hold on her, and she confessed. The case against Hampton was absolutely proven.
 'There wasn't any trial. The fellow could have been shut up for a good many years; he had cost his country millions; he ought to have been hanged. But he was quietly cashiered and allowed to disappear. Maybe it was foolish move. but we felt the
