How was he TO find the courage to
impart the appalling news to herr He
was now convinced beyond all doubt
that the so-called Sprouse had made
of with the priceless treasure and
that only a miracle could bring about
It's recovery. He realized to what ex-
tent he had been shaped into tool to
be used by the master craftsman. He
saw through the whole Machiavellian
scheme, and he was also now NOR
ally certain that SprOuse would have
sacrificed him without the slightest
hesitation.
In the event that anything went
wrong with their enterprise, the man
would have shot him dead and earned
the gratitude and commendation of his
associates He would have been

She was opposed to this plan. While
there was still chance that Sprouse
might be apprehended in the neighbOr-
hood, or the possibility of his being
caught by the relentless pursuers, she
declined to leave.
"Then. shall also stay" said he
promptly, and was repaid by the
tremulOus smile she gave him. He was
helplessly in love with this beautiful
cousin OF kings and queens. And
when he thought of kings and queens
he realized that beyond all question
his love was hopeless.

have made Off with them at that time,
but he shrewdly preferred to have

for him to dispose Of them In Europe.

he was working with them. Ny theory

10000 Miles Of Wire.

Within the German occupied area
there has been established by the sig

Parker Hit, chief signal officer, a net
work Of wires connecting the various
units of the third army. Direct lines
connect with all the corps and divi-

wire being in service.
This extensive plant has not. how
ever, been built by the third army, but
consists almost altogether of the Ger
man lines taken over by the signal
corps and so arranged as TO meet the
needs of the army. Sufficient circuits
were left, however. for the civilian
population to carry on their business.
