in the diplomatic pouch and was
shot here from Washington by air
courier, it may have some impor-
lance"
Benning slit the envelope open
with a paper-knife. A message on
single slip of paper, which bore no
signature, read:
Mon Capitaine, I presume you
may know already that M. Bravot
is In your country under masquer-
ade in the hope of redeeming him
self in Van Hassek's favor"
Benning passed the note to Gen
eral Flagwill and said, with a
thoughtful smile: THAT note from
our little French girl startles me,
sir. Rather coincidence to re-
ceive this just when Bravot has been
on my mind today. I've had a
bunch the fellow might be around
somewhere.
Flagwin stood up and took from
the pocket of his coat a pair Of sill
yer oak leaves. He handed them. to
Benning and said: Here's your new
insignia Of rank, Colonel, with my
affectionate best wishes"
Shortly before nine o'clock, Ben
ming wound his way in Flagwill's
sedan through the endless troop con-
voys to the landing-field. In his dis
patch case were the secret orders
that would put Holling's Fourth
Army into the attack. Four planes
were lined up at the field to carry
as many field-officer couriers with
orders that would put the group Of
four field armies into action.
Behring'S pilot, stiff and erect at
attention beside his fuselage, salut-
ed punctiliously. In his present pre-
occupation it was only Benning's
long habit Of sharp observation that
picked up the minor inconsistency
OF a pilot with goggles fixed over
his eyes before he climbed to the
cockpit.
AS Benning searched the pilot, he
saw the officers body stiffen. Ben
ning's hand drove to his holstered
service pistol as he picked out in
the moonlight his fellows profile.
The masquerader flashed into action
at the same instant. With swift,
even elaboration Benning leveled
his weapon and pressed the trigger.
Bravot sank to the ground.
Pilots and ground crew rushed
up. Benning leaned over the fallen
man and stripped off the goggles.
Floodlights were switched on, q hur-
ried search made for Captain
Trench, pilot Of the plane. Trench's
body was found in the shadow of a
nearby hangar, knife thrust
through his heart.
Benning hastily searched Bravot's
uniform. In canvas dispatch case
he found cleverly counterfeited or
ders for a prompt withdrawal of
three divisions from an important
salient in enemy lines east of Sac
ramento.
In the small hours of the morning,
Benning's plane put him down at
Carson City. A military automo-
bile took him north around Lake Ia
hoe, thence west into the slopes of
the Sierras.
Columns plodded on, silent shad-
ows in the night, an endless cara
van Of men moving to the front.
Daybreak was close at hand when
he reached the Fourth Army's ad-
vance command post.
The army commander took the
dispatch from Benning, broke the
seal, and read with visible tighten
ing of jaws.

toned In Washington.
Now continue with the story.
Every good" he said. This Ii
just what I've been waiting for-my
army is itching to jump off,"
From the distance heavy artillery
grumbled at the dawn, its vibra-
tons tossed from mountain to noun
tain in a dull, ominous monotone Of
sound.
In front Of them the invader held
the superiority Of strength in the
present moment. But Van HasSek's
air force no longer commanded the
skies and his espionage system east
Of the Cascades and Rockies had
been snuffed out by firing squads.
Benning worked feverishly to ac-
quaint himself with the intimate de-
tails Of enemy strength, morale, and
dispositions. In five days a million
men would be ready to attack. Be-
hind that mighty cavalcade of
trained fighting men, another half
million were in the final stages Of
seasoning for battle, and could be
pushed forward when the need for
them arrived.
The Fourth Army was shaping it.
self to attack to the south and west.
Whatever the cost, it was to push its
way past Sacramento and cut the
Van Hassek forces in twain. Stimuli
taneously the First, Second, and
Fifth Armies would press forward
with vigor that would prevent Van
Hassek from centering his reserves
against the Fourth. Upon the ad-
vantages Of the first few weeks Of
action would depend the final
massed attacks that were aimed
to sweep the invader into the Pacific.
Dawn Of the day of attack came
with a roar Of artillery that shook
the skies down a three-hundred-mile
front. Old-timers vowed that not
even the Argonne witnessed such
volcanic wrath Of artillery. Light,
medium, and heavy artillery pound
ed the Van Hassek trenches for an
hour and in its wake came the in
fantry waves pushing relentlessly
ahead in the first red weller of the
tortuous miles to the sea.
On a day, after crimson weeks,
that Benning flew in reconnaissance
over Sacramento. the first Ameri-
can waves were at last on the edge
OF the city. A heavy pail of smoke
told that the invader had abandoned
the city in flames, indication that he
meant to hold farther to the west
rather than trust here to counter
attacks. That told Benning, too,
that the Van Hassek lines to the
north and south would be drawn
back
Benning's pulse surged as he
viewed from the skies heavy enemy
columns marching to the west from
Sacramento to take up some new
strategic disposition The spectacle
seemed to vitalize Hague's prophe-
cy, bring nearer the day of fulfill
ment.
Dark months lay ahead; many,
many men yet must die, and the
country's stamina would be tested
to the last fiber of its strength. But
for Benning there were no doubts.
The dawn would come, that glorious
dawn Of the day when he had vowed
for himself glorious adventure.
On that day he meant to wing his
way to the north again whence had
come those fierce shadows in the
fog. There he would see their sur
vivors as they melted back into the
Pacific before the mighty vengeance
Of our massed valor.

Benning took off to the east in
late afternoon. He decided on
Boise as the point of vantage from
which to observe final developments
In the occupation of the Pacific
coast. There he would find no diff
Guilty In making his daily wire re-
ports to Flagwill.
Enemy divisions had landed at the
mouth of the Columbia River on the
Oregon coast, taken the antiquated
coast forts from the rear with a
few platoons of infantry, and were
proceeding up the river toward Port
land. A submarine base was report
ed established at Tongue Point at
the mouth of the Columbia.
Other invader divisions had land

OF San Francisco and were march

Hassek's Guaymas motorized col

were we'll north toward San Fran
cisco to effect junction with their
Oriental allies. BY tomorrow all
coast naval bases would be in the
hands of the enemy.
