The whole assembly, greeted the speakers' biu-ning words with roimds^of hearty applause. The soimd or clapping as it filled the hall was like a storm. Many cried aloud in their exiteinent.

At this moment the police, who förmed a cordon around the hall^ brandished their swords menacing-ly. This had no effect on the meet-ing., The revelations "of the speakers, * their description of the colossal growth'of armaments and the. astronomical figiires for expendf-ture on the war industry proved too convincing, Then they went on to e3q>ose the preparations being made for fresh bloodshed— all carried on under the cover of pa-cifíst phrases and paper pacts.

The heated addresses of the prosecu-tors, eagerly" seized upori the jury, left no doubt concerning the crushing verdict. For defendants there were these gendarmes. en-circling the hall, visible represent-atives of the criminal system on trial. ,

Bttt why is this one maa so in. dtffcrent? He sat next to me. His pale face was^ distorted by a huga scar. And under his right eye there was;a deali wrinWed cavity insteafl <rf a, cheekbone. Apparently somé shrapnel had; smashed the l»ne. The right eye, above the cavity, had an uncanny stare. Hé woré the rougK Ichaki clothes of láljo-rer, and in cvery respect loo]«d like an elderJy workman. His lips were pressedtighUy: and he stared at thé speaker .físedly.
The sromiáreir Why does he stare so? Why does- he glare at the speaker's face as if he were nóting,every detaií? ^
It'a plain Jthe last war did not decorate-him enouph! Just lookat that mark, the mercenary dog! What more-does he wantí i i.a önly sorry that *»'e gim which sent millions of honest workers to thér grave didn't consign the whole of your ugly mug to hell!
I looked at him challengingly and stufcbornly. He didn't clap once the whole time, nor make a single exclamatíon. It seemed as if the orator's words had no effect on.him. , A strange feeling came overme, Either he is a novice in the spy business or else a hardened old wolf.
:!>Ii00k here,* I shouted aloud, unable to hold myself and paying no attention tó the speaker,
Just then a strange light seemed to shihe iit Jhis eyes.
Funnyr Surely the cur can feel sometfaing.
The man lifted his arms as if with the íhtention of clapping but it feŰ heavily. oh to his knees.
His eyes glared. in the gather-ing' twilight. In án instant the very blood frozeri in' my veins, 1
On his kriées were two artifical .anhs,'".'
The man had no hands.
