Here two long leg protruded from under a brown German blanket and here he prodded and shook until the deplorable countenance of Ms brother officer emerged yawning. "Say," demanded the scout officer, "yon nave my alum? tilmme my slum," "Why, hello, Jim! Why didn't you come bnck, like you aald you was? Where you been? You said you was cotnln' right back."

"Empty, by God I" His hands fell lax across his knees. He looked sadly over the blasted fields of Torcy, and he said, with the cold bitterness of a man who has tried It all and come to a dual conclusion: "Wai-eu- re Is hell." There were places like this down In the Touralne country, around the town Americans called St. Onion. Canals with poplars mirrored In them, where It was pleasant to loaf at the end of the day. The women were kindly and disposed to make friends ; It la a pity that there were not enough to go around. Thby had, also, an eye for ment; he now reflet-te- that It was good business "grenades I hope to spit In yo' mess-ki- t they are ask the man that used one" It waa good business, for It fell fair In the othtr prater, thirty feet away, where the rest of that front-pos- t squad were beginning to react like the brave Ger-man men they were. Two of these survived, much shaken, and scuttled Into the clever little tunnel that con-nected them with the Feldrltter's crater, emerging with pacific cries at the sergeant's very feet Being a man not given to excitement, he accepted them alive, the while he dragged the acout officer standing. "We got our prisoners, sir. Let's beat It," he sug-gested. "Their lines Is wakin' up, air. It's gonna be bad here" The colonel, as gallant a man as ever lived, but not fast, barked Into them. "Prisoners? Hey? How many? Two? Excellent, by God! Give 'em here, young man!" and he seized the unhappy Boches by their collars and shook them violently. "Thought you'd start something, hey? Thought you'd start something, hey?"

Be sure you come buck where you went out. Crahbe's to the right of there. Tou know Crubbe. Shoots quick." "But, My Colonel," represented Captain de Stegur, "one should ar-range, one should explain, one should Instruct In effect one should re-hearse " "Rehearse hell, slrl I'm due In Paris tomorrow night Where those marines, major? I'll tell 'em what I the kind of remarks a colonel makes. It Is related by truthful marines there present that every German In Von Boehn'8 army fired on them as they went back but no two agree as to the manner of their return. It Is, how-ever, established that the colonel, bringing up the rear, halted about half-wa- y over, drew his hitherto vir-gin pistol, and wheeled around for a parting shot something In tht nature of un beau geste. Seeing this, the tall French captain, to his rear and left, drew his pistol and wheeled also. Im-agining pursuit.

CHAPTER X The Rhine. The bugles went while It was still as dark as the Inside of a dog. There was swearing and sickly yellow candle- -light In the billets, mean houses In a mean little Rhine-Provinc- e town, and the chow lines formed on the say stern-sheet- The scout officer and the sergeant got him back some way, both filled with admiration at his language. By the time they stumbled through the nervous outposts to their own place, the French captain had lapsed Into English. "As a wound, yon per-ceive, it Is good for a permission. But It is not a wound. It Is an indignity 1 And, besides, my new breeches! Ah, Plou de Dleu! Ce sale colonel-cl- ! What will my wife say! That one, she chose the cloth herself! Tun-nerr- e de canon !" and he sank Into stricken silence. The raiding party shook down In their several holes, praising God, and went to sleep. The colonel, with his prisoners, received the compliments of the battalion headquarters and depart-ed for Brigade. The scout officer ob-served, to his amazement, that they had been out of their lines less than twenty minutes. "Where's the Forty-ninth-he wanted to know first. "Hell, Jim, they went up to the Bols right after the major sent for you. An' the Seventeenth. We're moving battalion headquarters up there now. Get your people and come along. At-tack or something." . After a very full night, the scout officer crawled and scuttled along the last tip of the Bols de Belleau, look-ing for a hole that a buttalion runner told him about. "Seen the lootenant dlggln' In Just past that last Maxim gun, sir. Right at the nose of the woods where the big rocks is. There's about a dozen dead Ilelnles layin' by a big tree, all together. Can't miss It sir." The scout officer had no desire company galleys In an Icy December rain. The rain pattered on helmets and mess-kit- and fell In slanting lines through the smoky circles of light where the cooklug-flre- s burned feebly. The faces of the marines, as they filed out of the dark for food, were gray and frowsy. The cooks Issued corn-bil- l hash, and dared any man to growl on the coffee. How the hell could It be blled enough, with' wet wood and very little of that been up all night, as It Is you sports Just pull in your necks! The companies gulped their ration In sullen silence, rolled damp blan-kets Into the prescribed pack, and when the bugles squawked assembly, they fell In without confusion or en-thusiasm. Platoon sergeants, with flash lights or lanterns, called the rolls: somewhere out In front, flrot sergeants received the reports; off-icers clumped along the lines to their units, grumbling. "All here, first sergeant?" "Beg the capt'n's pardon couldn't see you In the dark, sir--all present-counted-fo- r, sir! " "Nice day for a bike. Major says, golu' to the Rhine today. Eighteen or twenty kllomets don't know exactly. Dam' such a war I I'd like the old kind, where you went Into winter quarters Brrr " The captain pulled his col-lar around bis ears. Presently a drawling voice bayed "Squads right march ! " There was a shuffle of hobnails In the mud, and the rattle of rlfle-sllng- The First battalion of the Fifth ma-rines took the road. (TO BE CONTINUED.) kTATATATATATATATATAVATATAfA - SUV So It was that a wedge of men de-bouched Into the wheat at 23 hours 19 minutes, It being sufficiently dark. That battalion scout officer and a disillusioned sergeant with hash-mar-on his sleeve, were the point. The men were echeloned back, right, and left with an automatic rifle on each flank. In the center marched the colonel, smoking, to the horror of all, a cigar. Smoking was not done up there, after dark. With him was the elegant French captain, who nppeared to be very gallantly resigned to It. The story would, he reflected, amaze and delight his mess If he ever got back with It I These droll Americans ! He must remember just what this colonel said: a type, Nom de Dleu! If only he had not worn his new uni-form the cloth chosen by his wife, you conceive. The scout officer, leading, had out his canteen and wet his dry mouth. He was acutely conscious of his empty stomach. His mind dwelt yearningly on the mess-ki- t, freighted nobly with monkey-mea- t and tomatoes, awaiting him in the dependable Tommy's mu-sette. A hundred meters forward the last shells burst, nnd he saw new dirt Ahead, a spot darker than the dark; he went up to It Away on the right a flare soared, and something gleamed dull In the black hole at his feet a round, deep helmet with the pale blur of a face under It; a click, and the Shadow of a movement there, and a little flicker; a matter of spilt seconds; the scout officer had a bay-onet In his stomach, almost Ftld-ritte- r Kurt Iden, Company Six of the Margrave of Brandenburg regiment (this established later by brigade In-telligence, on examination of the pay-boo- k of the deceased), being on front post with his squad, heard a noise hard on the cessation of the shelling, and put out his neck. Dear Cod, hoot! Shoot! aiilrkly! The seont otllcer was conscious of a monstrous surge of temier. He gathered his feet under him, nnd his hands crooked like claws, and he hurled himself. In the same breath ere wus a long, bright flash right "lder his arm, and the mad crack of a' Springfield. The disillusioned ser-geant had estimated the situation, loosed off from the hip at perhaps seven feet, and shot the German through the throat Too late to stop himself, the scout officer went head first Into the crater, his hands locking on something wit and hairy, Just the size to fill them; and presently we was at the bottom f the crator, dirt In his mouth and a buzzing in his head, strangling something that flopped and gurgled and made remarkable noises under his hands. There wer explosions and people stepped hard on his back and legs. He became sane again and rea-lized that whatever It was It was dead. He groped In his puttees for his knife, and cut off Its shoulder-strap- s and a button or two, and looted Its bosom of such papers as there were those being details the complete scout fflcer must atteod to.

C.I from time to time that RUMORnew Turkish regime Is to sell the Jewels a mussed by the sultans, and that tbe Soviet government wishes to dispose of gems of tbe tsnr and tho Russian church turns attention to these and the other great collections of precious stones and trcusure. The Turkish crown Jewels, for many years hidden In tbe Green Vaults of Constantinople, are among the world's largest collections. The Sultan's throne Is of massive beaten gold, studded with diamonds, rubles and emeralds set In mosaic. It has been appraised at more than $15,000,000. Few travelers have ever broken tli rough the seclusion of the treasure room to gee the Jewels and only lately have photographers been permitted to tuke pictures of the collection. There Is another throne of ebony ai d san-dalwood. Inlaid with mother-of-pear- l, rubles, emeralds and sapphires ; a toilet set thickly studded with tur-quoises and diamonds ; and armor, pistols, saddles, sandals, simitars, tur-bans, daggers, swRrds and canes all bejeweled, not to mention the long ' strnnds of pearls as large as cherries, rings, bracelets, anklets, and all sorts of other gorgeously designed Jewelry for various uses. Some authorities claim the Russian horde of Jewels Is the world's largest. The bead of the tsar must have gleamed mightily at royal functions, with .12,800 carats of diamonds and rows of pearls, when he wore his best headdress. There are other regal crowns of magnificent filigree work, artistically set with colored stones above a bn$e of expensive fur.

The Carpet of Pearls, In the Nuser-bag- h palace at Baroda, Is one of the world fumous Jeweled creations. It Is 8 by 6 feet square. Besides the pearls, which form the larger part of the carpet there are three large dia-monds, 82 small diamond), 1,200 rubles and C0U emeralds which form a flower design In the center. Imagine on Eastern potentate Bitting on the gor-geous Peacock throne with his shoul-ders nearly stooped under the weight of pearls, his legs and a run arrayed In golden Jeweled bracelets and ank-lets, his head crowned with more stones than some Jewelers handle In many years, 'and with a Carpet of Pearls hanging before him. The guekwar of Baroda Is said to have the largest collection of pearls and the maharajah of Iudore runs a close second. A royal wedding or slate function attended by the Indian princes In their Jewels represents many millions of dollars. At one royal wedding the mahariijah of wore a scarf of pearls valued at $.'1,500,000. Eighteen of the pearls were set with carat diamonds. This potentate also has one of the most be-jeweled turbans In India which Is a mass of rubles, emeralds and dia-monds. No loss Imposing are some of the religious collections of Jewels. Since the dawn of history people have been lavish with their gifts for religious purposes, whether they worshiped Idols or an unseen God.

Jewels In Tower of London. The brightest spot within the grim gray walls of the Tower of London, If not In London Itself, Is the Jewel room where the crown Jewels of Great Britain are on exhibition. To reach the large glass case which Incloses the gems, one has to run the gantlet of guards from the lowly but digni-fied "beefeaters" (yoemen of the guard) to some of the picked guards of tbe empire. And should a visitor attempt to take one of the gems he likes most, he would find that un un-seen steel safe would Immediately en-case the ti ensures, the door behind him would become fast, and the outer gates of the tower walls would clang shut to avert his escupe.

The princes of India have been col-lecting Jewels for thousands of years and among them are some of the most elaborate displays of gems. It was from India that the famous Pea-cock throne was taken to Teheran, Persia. Shah Jalian, one of the great Indian Moguls, dally sat on this solid gold four poster seut, dispensing Jus-tice. Tbe monarch's back rested against rubles, emerulds and sap-phlr-which adorned the peacock's tall, while overhead wus a pearl-fringe- d canopy. His turban was aliluze with diamonds, bis chest hid-den by ropes of pearls, and his fingers find that the pagan temples of civili-sations' dead for thousands of years were ornamented with a wealth of precious metals. Indian temples of several faiths have had their rich treasures and their ornaments of gold and sliver for centuries; and they have made use as well of a glittering array of diamonds, rubles, sapphires and other Jewels. Many an Idol to-day, from the dim Interiors of Indlnn temples, looks out through eyes of great lustrous, precious stones, and wears other gems that might ransom nn emperor. Treasures of Christian Churches. The marked enrichment of Christian churches began In earnest In Italy and the East In the Fifth and Sixth centuries and spread In early medieval times to France and other Western countries. Not only did the churches accumulate gold chalices, patens, can-delabra and other small objects, but many had large screens of gold and silver, as well as fonts nnd statues. To a few of the churches altars of solid gold were presented, but later church regulations prescribed stone and wood as the only permissible ma-terials for altars. Precious stones also came Into use to ornament Im-ages of the saints or as gifts to them. Thus the Sacred Baby of the Church of Ara Coell In Rome has been given over a space of many years a wealth of Jewels. The accumulation of treasure by temples and churches and monasteries has not been unbroken. Time and time ngaln these convenient stores of precious metnls and precious stones have been seized by conquerors. ' s have looted the shrines of other pagans. Mohammedans looted Roman churches. Including St. Peter's In 840, nnd the churches of Constantinople In ira. Sancta Sophia, after the break between tbe Western and East-ern churches, wus sacked by Western Christians during the Fourth Crusade; and church vessels were taken or de-stroyed In many cases at the time of the Reformation. Russian church treasuries have been among the richest In existence In late centuries. When Russ envoys were sent out by the then d state In 987 to choose a national re-ligion, they were most Impressed by the wealth and rich beauty of the services at Sancta Sophia. Since tht time Russian churches have been marked by their wealth of ornamenta-tion. Screens, reliquaries and cano-pies of precious metals were to be found In all of the well-to-d- o churches. Probably the wealthiest of all re-ligious Institutions In Russia was the Lavra or y at Kiev. Before the World war It had an an-nual Income of half a million dollars and a d treasury. The sec ond most important Institution, the Lavra of St Serglus, nsar Moscow, had treasure with prewar value of about $325,0(10.000. At the Cathedral of St Isaacs. St. Petersburg, there was more than a ton of silver In the form of ecclesiastical vessels, and in addition much gold.

The outstanding difference was In the hair. The hair of the Aztecs was a long, frizzy shock that stood upright from the forehead In the early eighties, two Aztecs, a girl and a boy, were shown In Scot-land by a man and woman who ex-ploited them.
