CHAPTER XIV.
Lefever to the Rescue.

Lefever, chatting in the aspen grove
under the restraint Of waiting in the
storm, was ready long before daylight
to break orders and ride in to find
De Spain.
With the first peep of dawn, and
with his men facing him in their sad
dies, Lefever made a short explanation.

gap with me this morning under any

With the cautioning words she
passed the FURNISHED weapon, glitter

HOW GERMANS TREAT FRENCH

Baroness Huard. an American girl
who married a Frenchman, SAYS in
the American Magazine:
Compared with what happened else
where. the story of our little village is
actually a bright one! The evacuation
was so hurried at that point that the
Germans did not have time for their
usual systematic and a~trocious work
OF destruction. However, the nine
days they spent there were black
enough.
THE officers and the soldiers made
victims of every woman in the village
from little girls of only ten years,
to old women who were so afflicted
physically that any man should have
pltied them, even if he did not feel re.
pulslon toward them. This / say out
OF my W knowledge, for it happened
IN my village and these women and
little girls We're personally known to
me. Mine vas only one of hundreds
OF own to which the Germans came:
and, as l said before, its story is one
OF the least horrible. But bring it
nome to yourselves, il you want to
know the kind Of enemies we are
f1ghting. How would you like them
to come to your town."

time Lefever spent patiently decipher-
ing the story printed in the rutted road,
and marked by a wide crimson splash
in the middle Of it. He rose from his
study at length and followed back the
trail of the running feet that had been
stricken at the pool. He stopped In
front of a fragment of rock jutting up
beside the road, studied 1t a while and,
looking about, picked up a number of
empty cartridge-shells, examined them,
and tossed them away. Then he

Elpaso answered his invitation with
an inquiry. "WhO was this fellow

THAT, also, Is a question. Certainly
not with Henry de Spain, because the
other fellow. I think, was using soft
nosed bullets. No white man does that.
