ETTING A "Sc00F" . By VICTOR REDCLIFFE. —————————— ———————————— “Brabant?’ “No thoroughfare.” | “To the east?” “The country ablaze and four bat-, talions lining the frontier.” \ Adrian North made a gesture of de- spair. Then he said to himself: “And in twenty-four hours my news, may be stale!” | Great news, he considered, com-, prised the information in his posses-, sion—details* of the recent movement of the German forces, of the advancing phalanx. To get this to the nearest French point and thence to his chief in Lon- don for American transmission, was | the one palpitating impulse of his life at the present moment. It meant a decided “scoop.” It meant the appro- | bation of Bruce Marshail, the chief of | the press correspondents corps in' London—and Lora. his favorite daugh- ter, and equally a favorite with Adrian, was with her father. Adrian left the consulate at a loss how to proceed. The orders of the fnvading army were strict. To attempt to break through the lines would prob- ably cost him his life. He finally | shrugged his shoulders resignedly. | “I euppose 1 ought to be thankful that 1 have not been shut up as a spy like a good many other aliens,” he reflected. “My precious ‘scoop’ is wasted material, it seems. What is it, my man?”’ Adrian interrupted himself to ad- dress a diminutive, shrewd-faced fel- low, who slunk rather than glided alongside of him. “You wish to leave the city?” ob- served the stranger, insinuatingly. “Who says so?” challenged Adrian, with susplcion. “I overheard your inquiries at the consulate.” “Oh!” operation.

No missiles reached the dirigible, however, and its operator put on speed with a derisive | laugh Adrian experienced some curiosity as to the sacks that littered the bot- tom of the balloon. “You seem to have quite a load here,” he observed. “Yes—egg plants,” was the brief reply, accompanied by a dry chuckle. Adrian knew better, but said noth- ing. The easy flight of the machine was soothing. They had proceeded about twenty miles and Adrian was about to question his companion as to location and the chances of a land- ing, when a sudden brilliancy envel- oped them. A giant searchlight somewhat be- hind them had becn suddenly set in to earth below the fog drifts, Adrian could make out lights, towns, encamp- Abruptly the operator steadied his machine. Then hurriedly he groped | into one of the sacks. It was to draw , | out one of the “egg plants.” He took an automatic light from his pocket. “A bomb!" breathed Adrian, athrill. “I understand now!"

I have a relative who is—well, a smuggler. He makes a trip over the French border tonight. He can make room for one.” “Let me be that one,” said Adrian, Jaconically. “Follow me.” Half an hour stood with his a deserted chat of his companion was getting ready a miniature Zeppelin, It was of the dirigible type, but the aerilons, wings and control mechunism were those of & monoplane.

MAKE USE OF LEISURE TIME Occupation During Idle Hours Will Have Most Important Bearing on One’s Life, The pursuit in studies that are in some way allied to a man's daily occupation is certain to bear fruit. Even the pursuit of less vitally related studies is often surprisingly important in shaping a career, In the lives of many men—espe- clally men without hobbies—there ar daily unprofitable periods when they ' sit lethargic, with vacant minds. They would read a book if a book of Jjust the right sort—a detective story, for example, were at hand; but their library contains nothing new and ap- pealing, only classic authors, Dick- ens, Shakespeare, Thackeray, and they have read all those. On those volumes the dust has been gathering for years. Yet it is only on a sec- ond reading that a really memorable book can begin to count as an influ- cnce in anyone's life.
