This fa- mous remedy will do much to Help You Dae Arete For a bitter moment I stood torn be- tween conflicting emotion; then my eyes sought those of my poor patient. He spoke to me, but his words, curl ously enough, influenced me in a way quite other than, he Intended. "Ac- | peasant 2 oo cept," be said in French, the ome chance that hl Bight under- stand, and his eyes told me the rest. I would be safe, and he--he didn't need | to tell me--he knew how to die like a soldier. With a despairing gesture | turned from him and faced the German gen- eral, for I could not bear to meet the eyes of the man whom 1 had so strange- ly, suddenly come to know I loved. "1 will do/ what you say," I answered simply. Captain Frazer started to speak, but with a voice so full of ghastly anxiety that it almost tore my heart from my body. A moment later the general waved him away. After > fan gone the general smiled in a way for which I could have stran- gled him with my bands i Lhe dot a = more important ang subtle part to 7. " "Before I go further," he sald, "per- haps it might be well to warn yeu'that in the enemy's line there are many of our spies" then his veice became harsh. "Fall us In the smallest par ticular, and your lover dies like the dog he 1s." Springing to his feet and lean- ing toward me until his face almost 'puched mine, he glared into my eyes and thundered out, "Do you under- stand 7" "Yes, 1 understand only too well" L replied. "When do I start?" "At once!" "This morning at dawn you will be taken by one of our men to a point where, if you go straight abead about two miles, you will find a break in the English line." In that way the German officer in command informed me that the time bad come for me to make good my promise to play the spy. Con- tinuing, he said: "It will be guarded, of course, by the patrol.- When you are challenged you will call ont 'Friend.' The sentry will say, 'Advance, friend, and give: the ecountersign'--that you will, of course, not know, but he will See you are a woman, a nurse, and will not shoot. He will undoubtedly send you to the nearest headquarters, and "And 1 tell you he is a spy. Now | give you your choice." there you will say that a very high German officer whom you had nursed had become so infatuated with you He shrugged his shoulders and re- plied, "Well, you will be there in the fledh; your papers will prove you to be what you state, and your own ingent- and he shrugged his shoulders. By clining I knew, of course, we were have played fair you and Captain Fra« zer will be seat blindfolded out of eur {ines amd proper precaution taken that you get through to your ewn. Yeu have saved his life. He will marry yon. No one will ever suspect you you the daughter of a peer of England. "To return you will leave there in the moming. go to where the line breaks, pass your own patrol." He must have seen my look of amasement, for be added at once: "It is a thing that is done every day, to say mothing ef dispatch riders who go through even under fire. Disguised as a pretty peas- ant it will be easy. They are very lax with the natives. Once safe from the sentry you have nothing to fear, as our | patrols en your return will be wateh- {ing for you. On reaching them you {will be challenged. You have only to {answer in German and give the coun- | tersign." | Here I interrupted with: "But the countersign is changed every day. It will be three days"-- "The one I give you will be good un- til the evening of the third day. Itis 'Deutschland Uber Alles.' " "I think it a most hazardous task," 1 said, "and one in which the chances are a hundred to one I shall fail, how- ever earnestly I try, but I accept. Be- fore 1 go I want to say that I know Frazer is not a spy, though, appearances may be against him, but I know, too, that for less men have been shot. 'The falsity of the accusa- tion can be proved, but it takes time." "And time," he broke in, "is what we none of Us have just now." 1 took up the orange petticoat, went to my room and twenty minutes later | was en route. I begged to see Captain Frazer, but permission either to talk to or write him' was denied, and I was blindfolded and led to the waiting mo _{tor. After we bad gone an hour-- whether in a straight line or in a circle 1 was unable to decide--we suddenly halted; and the officer with me, remov- ing the bandage from my eyes, jumped down and said: "Fraulein, your way is straight ahead to where you see that windmill dimly outlined on the horizon. Goedby: and good luck" He held out his hand. As I took it he added, "This is not to my taste, fraulein." As horrifying as it all was, 1 was glad to be free. For while never mo- { lested, still 1 had been a prisoner, with always the sense of oppression, the feeling of being watched. With the fresh, sweet smell of the country air, the faint chirp of the birds, I forgot I was hurrying onward, perhaps to death. I said this to myself, but my emotions refused to be aroused. I could not feel a glimmer of fear. I knew all would and must go well. In the gen- eral's office I had decided on a course me, "Who lives if what we stand far perish from off the earth?" + CHAPTER XIN." the object of the Germans clear the town of WEDNESDAY, rons, ise "I dare say they are right," swered.

"Your face is patrician, my dear, not peasant, | and that's rather unfortunate just at | this moment. You will place the guns, | but enly such and where I see fit You | are pledged to return the morning of | the third day, are you not?" | "Yes," I answered. { "You will return--your safc conduct | through our lines will be arranged-- | manage to live," and he langhed, "un- | til noon of that day, and I guarantee | you and Frazer will be safe. | "And now to 'business.

Well, go there, tell her you are released from nursing for a week | and that you want to stay here be- | cause, well, because your lover is near you wish to dress like a peasant, to at- | tract less attention.
