Here, for the first time, we came to grips with the fire, for though the place itself was un- touched it was beighy, lit; eve: inhabitant was out in the stree! talking, gesticulating, or standing in ig rors silent groups, watch- ing the rim of flame that danced along the crest of the ridge above. threatened every moment to sweep over and come crackling down throueh the pine trees towards us. t ‘Death To Venture Farther’ of Bes sel were troops too, infantry * of the line and Chasseurs Al- pins, shirt-sleeyed and tin-hatted. grimed_ to,,the,eyes; some. lying prostrate by. roadside, sleeping the sleep..of utter exhaustion, other: eiahed, piling into lor- ries to retutn once more to the fruitless struggle, Fleuriot called to a young lieutenant, whose red- rimmed eyes looked glazed with weariness, and after a minute's whispered conversation the lad scribbled something on a card and handed it to him. “Our vce ot he explained, as we crawled for- ward at snail’s pace, hooting our way thro a mob of people. “The cape is in the hands of the military, and after Le Trayas the road wil be closed—even to me, unless we havc permission.” We came to Le Trayas, where the thoroughfare was a milling mob of frightened, hysterical people and where bayoneted sentries at the further end barred all egress. But the lieutenant’s card was a magic token and we sailed through. The fire might have been a hun- dred miles away, for-the brows of the hills shut of e fiery glow, but suddenly, rounding the bend, we came full into an inferno of blinding, glaring heat. A wind like the opening of an oven door struck at our faces; glowing sparks bit at our naked arms and faces, and our cies, were blinded by the fierce glare of light from a valley of sheer flame, lying directly below us. Troops were hacking away the undergrowth, felling trees. Straight ahead a tall fellow that I took to be an officer raised a warning hand, checking our prog- ress. “Out of the question,” he said sharply. as Fleuriot bent and whis- pered to him. “The valley is im- passable. I can let no one through.” Fleuriot turned quickly to Noah More. “Is there any other way to the inn?” he demanded, and the scarecrow shook his head. se re is no other way,” he mut- tered. “It is the right-hand fork at the bottom of the valley that runs up to the hills.” Again the detective leaned out, whispering, and this time I fan- cied that he told something of our errand, for the officer gave us a curious, commiserating look as he slowly shook his head. “It would be death to venture farther,” he said. “I feel for you, messieurs, but one can only hope that the fire has not yet reached the inn. If it escapes during the night by tomorrow it may be pos- sible to get through.” Fleuriot looked at me. “You hear?” he said, but there was more inquiry fonts resi, is in his tone, and even ar he spoke, Hugo illumined w, showed hard " his jaw was set; ~must do ds you “You, loge ‘he, “but for myself, 'm going through.” Fleuriot gave a short cackle of satisfaction. “You see," he m mured regretfully. “We are will- spocatbility ls not yours, for lass sponsibdi not yours, for 1 am an officer of the law, in it of a dangerous madman who is also a murderer, and these gentlemen are, for the moment, my ts.
