He slept as soundly as his comrades,
awakening, as was his habit, few
minutes before reveille, with a mind
singularly clarified by sleep. He would
ask to parade before his commanding
officer in the morning and state the
facts, leaving the rest to fate.

CHAPTER xi-oontInued.

-
Ada Kenson turned and ran toward
Mark with a scream. She did not rec
ognize him, Mark could see that.
The discipline Of lifetime held
Mark steady. He stood confronting
Kellerman, but did not raise hand
even to guard himself. Kellermnn
gared at him in speechless fury. And
even then 1t seemed little singular
to Mark that Hartley disappeared, so
swiftly and silently that neither the
man nor the woman knew he had been
there.
Then Kellerman burst into hysterical
laughter.
"It's the spy from the war depart
ment," he cried. "The fellow we
pitched out of the army for treachery.

She recognized Mark now, but Mark
could see that the recognition meant
little to her; probably he had been only
trivial incident In her career. Ills

ear. He has been drinking. 1t will
be all right. Just go back and keep
this to yourself. You'll get a fifty
dollar bill by the next post, and ten
every month afterward. so long as you
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, I think,
monsieur Se soldat," said Annette In
banter.
Mark strobe out of the inn without
word. Eartley'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 Kenson
woman were partners In far-reachlng
conspiracy against his country, though
he had never before eilOwed 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 HOward's
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 aoom-
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 II ever

Marks henrt 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

Reluctantly he abandoned the search
and they rejoined the others. The ser

Hartley appeared at the door. The
sergeant major enlightened Hartley
briefly.

Ing. as 1t were, the last supports Of

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. mushroom

department.
A sergeant and corporal, with nine
or ten men of the stretcher bearers

The little troop was returning to the

You're the two men from the base
hospital?- asked the sergeant. "All
right! Fall in. Right turnl Quick

They moved away down a slope and
began to pick their way along the be-
ginning OF a maze of trenches.
The roar of guns, which had never
ceased by night or day. and had long
ceased to be noticeable, was louser
now.
Suddenly the sergeant stopped.
"There was ten of you," he said to
the corporal.
"All here" responded the corporal.
The sergeant turned to Mark.
"Where's your mater" he asked.
Mark. who had been plodding 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.

to return hreathless and red in the
face. "He's gone. the silly fooli" he
spluttered. "Must have taken the

But Hartley was not at the bend.
The sergeant Joined Mark, incredulous.
They scrambled up the bank and
scanned the level road. There was no
pedestrian In sight.

where" insisted the sergeant. "Come

trench system. Still Hartley could not

They fiattened themselves as a
rocket burst into the air above the
German lines.
Then the machine guns burst forth.
"Rat-tat-tat-tatl' sang the bullets over
head.
They swished through the grass and
pattered on the ground. No answer
came from the section Of the Ameri-
can line Immediately behind the de-
tenders, but on each side there came
answering volleys. making the air an
inferno of cracking death. Then:
gradually, the alarm subsidized. The
rocket showers died down.
"Now. boysl" whispered the corpo-
raj.
They crawled onward. The huddled
form came into clear view. The body
seemed to be already blending with
the earth, melting into formlessness; !;
and there was no need to wonder
whether this was Of dead or wounded

His words ended In a gurgle. From
behind the shelter Of the corpse leaped
five men. Nolselessly they flung them
selves upon the party of three. Mark

ear.
In flash he realized the trap. The

He saw his two companions being
dragged. unresisting. toward the Ger
man lines. Three men were with
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
goaded Mark to madness. AS his cap
tor, never suspectlng 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
went up, revealing the two struggling
men to the sentries on either side.
Mark saw a powerful man, ser
geant, he thought. with close-cropped
yellow hair and the body of Her

Beautiful Thoughts.

The Lebanon Enterprise has a col

from it we clip the following:
Honor the dear old mother. Time
has scattered the snowy fakes upon
her brow, plowed deep burrows On her
cheek, but is she not beautiful now?
The lips are thin and shrunk, but
those are the lips that have kissed
away many hot tear from the child
ish cheeks, and they are the sweetest
lips in the world. The eye is dim, yet
it glows with the soft radience Of love
that can never fade, Oh, yes: yes she
is dear mother. The sands of time
are nearly run out, but feeble as she
is, she will go farther and reach down
lower for you than any other on earth.
You can not walk into a midnight
where she can not see you; you can
not enter prison where bars will
keep her out, you can never mount
scaffold too high for her to reach and
bless you with her deathless love.
When the world shall despise and for
sake you, when it leaves you by the
wayside to die unnoticed, the dear
old mother will gather you in her fee
BILE old arms and carry you home and
tell you of all your virtues until you
almost forget that your soul is dishg.
ured by vice. Love her tenderly and
cheer her declining years with holy
devotion
