The foreign legion of the French

was burned so that the flesh came off
in Thompson hand and it was all he
could do TO drag out the corpse.
Thompson was then compelled to
flee from the house. the flames which
came from the window almost scorch-

stroyed.

SEVEN DAYS WITHOUT FOOD.
Unpleasant Journey Of Tramp Wto Wanted
TO Get Home.

New York. Nov. 29.-The heavy door
or the freight car was pushed back.
ana l. -. Loizeaux. a Plaintield, n. j.,
lumber dealer. prepared to examine
the car which had just arrived from
Ottawa, Canada. There was stir in
side of the car and a man appeared
at the entrance. His tattered clothing
hung loosely on his gaunt form. His
eyes We're sunken deep in his head,
while his face was as pale as a ghost
under the stubby beard that covered
most of 1t. He staggered to the door
and once more breathed the fresh air,
after being locked in a space scarcely
more than foot wide for seven days
without food or drink.
The bill of lading shows that the car
door was sealed at ottawa on Nov. q.
The car, which was loaded with lumber,
had no ventilating holes, and the only
fresh air that reached the prisoner
was that which entered the crack in
the side. 1t was dark. and the only
empty space was between the piles of
lumber. and that was hardly more than
foot in width Here the traveller
had to stand. always facing the same
direction, and If he lay down he could
not turn around but had to lie on his
side The space was SO small that Mr..
Lozeaux, who is rather a slim man
himself could not squeeze in.
Mr.. Loizeaux assisted the tramp
from the car. He said that his home
was in Brooklyn and he wanted To re-
turn from Canada. He got into the
car when it started and took a little
something 10 ear with him II wasn't
much, he exclaimed. and his drawn
face bore evidence of the truth of his
story He gave his name. but finally
staggered To his feet and slowly made
his way out Of the lumber shed and

Mr.. Stump did not wish to anticipate
the report which he has to make to
the treasury department. and beyond
saying that he had discovered that the
majority of Armenians who reach this
country are aided by Lady Henry
Somerset and the Salvation Army
people he declined to say what his in

From Marseilles Mr.. Stump
journeyed to Rome and had a confer
