they had anything to add to or sub tract from it. No, we had 1t al straight. But not one of them ctult assist us in locating the place! where they had been secreted.
 Checking Up On The Story.
 So Lieutenant Hodson, with si1 men. went to Paris to follow the story through. Three were put il uniform and set to wandering thu streets in the hope that Moreal might spread his nets for them. Int other three in civilian clothes, were detailed to shadow the first three Although the men walked the street: and freuuented the cafes for more than two weeks, they could not get 6 nibble. As last resort the meI were shifted and a new group were put on the streets.
 On the third night after the change, Hines, one of our men, wa' approached by man who introduced himself as M. Moreau! He tolc Hines the same story about being the head of a committee to entertain American soldiers in Paris. Taklne Hines in a cafe and buying him seV' eral drinks. he asked the supposed soldier if he had d pass allowing hin to be in the city.
 Hines admitted that he had TUT away for a good time. q am moi going back to the front for long while, if I can help it." he declared I'm about fed up on the fighting!

 Hodson at once sent out men to assist Graham and Rich in covering the house and to pick up the trail Of Moreau and discover where ne lived. Graham swears to this oaS that Moreau did not come out. Never the Jess, in some manner ne suc- ceeded in getting away, ana IL was days later before his trali was picked up again.
 Only too well realizing the useless- ness of trying to shadow the houses in the day time, Hodson had Ora disguise himself as French laporer and hire rooms in house across the street. Graham, speaking French like a native, had no dif- ficulty in renting theree front rooms. Graham explained to the landlady that he had two friends who would share the rooms With him. There, behind the window curtains the three alternately kept continu- ous watch on the other house. By the time the watch was over we had a very complete description Of every caller going through this door.
 Meanwhile we were combing the city for Moreau, while Hines, in the mystery house, was being initiated into the secrets of the Spanish road Allowed out only at night for ex- ercise, he became impatient from de- lay; but he was told that he would
