back to his place opposite the guard who pre-
sent arms. In Q state of terrible suspense he
looks and listens with all his eyes and ears. The
dreadful word Death" at length falls from the
registrars lips and the wretch collapses. He Is
helped out, his legs giving way under him. On
his way he casts last glance at the little room
in which his treachery was brought to light.
The spys fate Is sealed.
Some Of the spies died IKE gamblers who had

The first to expiate his crime at Vincennes
was one ID. p, a lazy good-for- nothing scamp,
but very clever. He was q frst-rate keyhole
listener and, had his activity been on a par
with his cunning. he would have been very
dangerous spy. but he got up late and idleness
was his undoing. He sent much important in
formation without giving himself much trouble.
On the morning Of his execution, February
%, 1916, 1t was showing hard and the news
papers sold by candlelight at the kosks, which
were just opening, contained an alarming COM
munique-the announcement Of the German
attack on Verdun. We were all extremely anx-
ious. When we entered his cell the condemned
man woke with start, but he bore himself
well. He proceeded to dress In leisurely man
ner putting on his silk socks and patent-leather
shoes, the last veStiges Of his splendor Sin
gularly calm, he waited In the registrars office,
smoking cigarettes as well as he could with his
hands chained together. Suddenly his thin
voice broke the silence. Can say word to
you captain?" he remarked to me- "You said
in your report that was q dangerous spy, but
you might have left out the adjective You will
come across the dangerous ones later on"
His prophecy was fulfilled.
On the execution ground he showed courage,
without any attempt at braggadocio. The ar
rangements had been made in q hurry and
there was no post to which the condemned man
could be tied. When the gendarmes took of
his handouts the spy was left standing abso-
lutely free, facing the firing party, who had
grounded their arms Behind him was rifle

1T may be asked how these very ordinary spies

every case they were taken completely by sur

thus deprecated themselves they offered their

their pernicious trade.

to pick and choose among adventurers OF both
