Where did you get the informa-
tionf' asked the court. IF 1t were
true it showed you were In the pay Of
the Germans and if it were false. il
showed you were trying to trick u.s."
The dancers face showed that the
blow had gone home The president
of the court then brought out that she
had offered to proceed to Belgium and
work against the Germans. The head
Of the French eounter-espionage who
was well aware of her history, ac-
quiesced. She asked him for the
names and addresses of the leading
French agents in BELGIUM. She was
supplied with list. All the names
were false-except one. that of mo-
torious double syp who was betraying
both sides. Mata Hari went to Brus-
sells. Four days later the double spy
was executed by the Germans.
For some unexpected reason. pos
sibly because Of her powerful friends,
the French authorities did not even
then take action against the woman.
She asked to be sent to England and
her request was acceded to. There
she tried to take boat for Holland,
but the British secret service arranged
things so that when Mata Hari landed
from that boat ii was at Bilbao, Spain.
That trip was her undoing. She was
practically peniless, but managed to
get to Madrid and put UP at the Grand
Hotel. There she met the German
military attache and tried to make the
acquaintance of the French attache.
The latter, warned from Paris, was on
his guard. As nothing could be gotten
out of the Frenchman, the dancer
turned to the German. Van Kroon.
the German attache. was smitten by
her charms and made her presents of
valuable gems. She wanted cash. Van
Kroon didn't see why he should pay
the woman out of his own funds, but
he got in touch with the spy service in
Amsterdam and it was arranged that
the dancer-spy should go back to
Paris. where she would receive thirty
thousand france through neutral le.
cation.
4
The French secret service learned
that an order for the payment. of such
an amount to c. A. AZ had been trans
mitted from Amsterdam. They were
on the watch for Mata Hari. She was
trailed from the moment she crossed
the Spanish frontier. She went to the
neutral legation, received the money
and, as she stepped into the street,
was arrested. Her career was ended.
When the fact Of that fatal telegram
was flung at Mata Hari at her trial
she collapsed. She felt herself DOOM
ed. Still she fried to deny. to explain.
"I-I---tell you--I-tell--you--it
was not for spying. Won Kroon could
MT pay me-himself-so he thought
best to have his government pay for
his pleasures"

well formed, with fine dark eyes and
regular features, this strange woman
'boasted that every officer she en-
countered during the war loved her.
''For me-" she said, nothing in
terested me but officers. They are a
race apart. I have had many, many
lovers. but they were all brave sol
diers, always ready to fight but while
waiting for the battle, always gallant
and amiable. I don't care whether
they were French, Russian, German
or Austrian"
The President of the courtmartial
recalled to Mata Hari that once in
Paris when she thought herself sus-
pected by the French she Offered her
