One morning as the French ap

the peasant woman whose hut had been

in the cellar of the farm house.
Woman Tells of Spy.
"A spy came last niight into the
garret of the farm house," she declared,
'and he made illuminated Signals to
the Germans from the window." The
French officers could not believe it.
The next day and the next the old
peasant declared positively that she
had again seen the man come and
had seen the light shining from the
vrindow. "A spy couldn't possibly slip
through our line of pickets," the offi

Instead of returniing to the French
lines after completing their day s ob

self in busnes around the housj and
watched the garret window. At XI

a rush upon the stairway. At the

forced to do away with the minor ele

the old model, besides being free from
the annoyance of skirts. The men of
