An atmosphere OF wild unrealty
overhung the haif-darkened rooms,
filled with excited, heavily breath
ing men. captors and captured
alike.
At last came the expected knock.
Anthony had arranged that as
soon as the last man came. not only
he, but the caretaker also should
be bound and taken to Berne with
the rest. He therefore had four
gendarmes with him now waiting
In the smoking room.
The fellow who entered was a
tall. powerful Pomeranian-a black
devil with a full beard. Anthony
recognized him. He had more than
once seen him hanging about the
hotel and on the Kirchenfeld bridge
as though fixing In his mind the
faces OF the Allied officers. The
black Pomeranian also recognized
Anthony with a malignant barring
of his great white teeth.
simultaneously with Anthony's
appearance the four gendarmes
stepped forward TO lay hands on
the Pomeranian and the caretaker.
In the confusion, before the gen
darmes were aware. the huge leu
ton, with catlike agility,
wrenched himself loose. whipped
out an automatic and with a snarl
of rage sent a bullet crashing into
Anthonys body.
The explosion brought Ray.
Colonel Cole and some of the other
gendarmes running to the hall.
They bounced upon the wild-eyed
ruffian, though he fired another
shot into the wall opposite. In
moment, however. they had him
overpowered on the floor, growing.
kicking and foaming at the mouth
as six men were binding him
uttering curses and imprecations.
Anthony. who had staggered
against a wall, slowly slipped down
to the parquet floor. A wet. sticky
blob Of a stain was spreading on
his shoulder and chest and blood
was trickling down his arm to his
hand.
Colonel Cole, catching sight of
Anthony's limp figure huddled
against the wall, was at once full
of a paternal, almost a maternal
sympathy. AS the others were
dragging the Pomeranian into the
drawingroom, he knelt down be-
side the wounded man.
"Never mind. my boy" he whis-
pered. "It's the shoulder. isn't It?
AS long as It isn't the chest.
Couldn't keep promotion from you
now II they tried. This is the
Fourth OF July. too. It's bully"
Soldierlike, he could speak only
OF the distinction OF a wound. he
was greatly concerned neverthe-
less. Suppose 1t should be the

gesticulation. well get them

Shortly before midnight he or.
dered the caretaker to take his
Mace by the door In the crepuscu-
lar. dimly lighted entrance hall. In
a small smoking room of this hall,
behind partly-drawn portieres In the
darkness, whence he could watch
the caretaker. Anthony, together
with two gendarmes. stood con-
cealed.
Less than FIVE minutes later was
heard soft knock. There was a
pause. And Il was family repeated.
The caretaker nesitated a moment,
then he grimly turned the large key
and the door swung open.
One of the nine. short, stocky
fellow, with a straw suitcase in his
hand. entered, and the door closed
behind him. He began TO speak,
when Anthony and the two gen.
darmes stepped from behind the
smoking room portieres and ar
rested him.
"Arretiert," muttered the care
taker as the gendarmes led the
man TO the drawing room. bound
and gagged him and laid him care
fully on the rug with the admoni-
ton that II he struggled he would
be shot. Colonel Cole and Michaud
drew their pistols and laid them on
their knees.
"The game is on" murmured An
thony in a high state OF nervous
exaltation.
"Wish you luck, my boy" nut.
tered the colonel. and Michaud
nodded his head vigorously. The
mans suitcase, which was opened
by a gendarme, disclosed the uni
form of ~ French railway guard and
various papers that would have
identified the man as being a native
of a village long since destroyed
by German shells.
Then Wilma was still true to her
words, thought Anthony.
Another of the nine presently
came. with a bundle. and the others,
singly or in twos, soon followed in
rapid succession, slipping and
shouldering into the half-lighted
doorway. In a heavily breathing
row they soon lay on the drawing
room rugs Including the care
taker there were now eight of them
in the house. Their bundles includ-
ed French army uniforms. the uni
forms of railway guards. military
Identification papers. tags. passes.
helmets, gas masks and consider
able sums of money. Like rats In
a sack they were all, thus far, gath
cred in without hitch. One or
two showed fight, but they were
quickly overpowered and disarmed
and laid beside the others.
"C'est magnifique. mon ami!
Magnifique!" Michaud whispered
hotly into Anthony's ear. 81 shall
recommend you for the Cross-I
who speak to you!"
The case against the men was
really complete right there. The
bundles were discriminating evil
dence enough. A fame Of excite
ment burned in Anthony's veins.
Despite the icy hand OF the General
Card Index. which had thrust him
away into this hole, he was able to
be of signal service. II seemed a
strange trick of destiny that Wilma
should have turned out the instru.
ment Of his success.
The ninth and last Of the men
was still missing. 1t was some time
after midnight. Would he come
and make the enterprise complete,
or had he found out? The nervous
tension was making all of them
restless, yet it intoxicated them.
The Washington times., 1921-01-09

a chance shot OF kAthony's; he
merely assumed that there must be
a signal. But strangely. luckily, II
worked.
TREMENDOUSLY the brawny. bearded
caretaker lit a five-centime candle
and placed II between the Venetian
blinds and the glass in a window of
the otherwise darkened drawing
room.
For the first time Anthony, by
the light OF the candle borne
through II. noted the opulence OF
that room. Massive furniture was
covered in chintz slips and price
less cabinets with collections OF
porcelains. lusters and pottery
stood about the room. A few beau
tiful landscapes hung on the walls.
"Swine!" muttered Ray, "to use
a nice room like this for Hun
spies!"
Never mind, RaY' laughed An
thony grimly, 1--WE are using 1t now
and we'll get them, too. It's a
hateful business-but wen get
them"
The fanaticism which touches all
men in war, who do not believe In
their own death until they actually
die, now touched Anthony for the
first time. He felt a sort OF hot,
mystical certainty that he would
succeed. 1t seemed wild. gro
tesque business for him to be en-
gagged in-remote from all his pre-
vious experience. But because he
was an American, absurdly enough
in the circumstances, he felt he
could not fail. He was rejecting
in his person the vast gathering
confidence Of America thai In any
case would have made victory GER
tain.
Colonel Cole, Michaud and the
rest of the gendarmes now came up,
and while the colonel and Michaud
made themselves at home in the
drawing room, the gendarmes were
distributed in various parts Of the
darkened house.
The cars in charge OF an aide OF
Michaud's and the American, Kings
ton, went on to Geneva with orders
to return at one o'clock sharp to
the villa. By that time, Anthony
thought, all that were coming into
the trap would have come. Their
meeting hour had been fixed for
midnight.
It was after eleven now. Uncon-
trollable outbursts Of conversation
on the part of Michaud were con-
tinually checked by the colonel,
and the gendarmes were browsing
in their places. Neither Michaud
nor the gendarmes believed that
anything would come Of the enter
prise.

1t was, nevertheless, weary
business, the waiting. The cres-

preceding night. An immense throb-
bling stiffness overhung the villa
and the ancient hemlocks and pines

heavy with shadow and mystery.

CUT WORKING
OF G. N. SHOP MEN
Reduction to Seven Hours Made
by Company to Prevent
Further Layoff.

Hours of work of the locomotive
force in the roundhouse and machine
shop of the Great Northern here have
been reduced from eight hours to
seven hours a day, it was announced
Wednesday by A. III. Melenke, shop
superintendent.
The reduction in hours affects about
$50 men in the roundhouse and the
machine shop, Mr.. Melenke said. It
is improbable, he said, that there will
be any further cut in the force at the
roundhouse and machine shops as the
reduction in hours is believed to be a
remedy for the poor business condi-
tions on the road which have made
less work for the shop force. The
last reduction in the roundhouse and
machine shop forces was made early
in the month.
Seventeen carmen will be laid off
Friday at the shops, according to Mr..
Melenke. as a result of the refusal of
the national heads of the Garments
unions to accept a working day Of
less than eight hours.
