Washington Post: Chaplain Edward
Vattman, U. S. A., recently returned
to Washington from the Philippines and

experience with an elderly Irish wom-

The young man, Patrick by name, a
private by rank and Washingtonian,
was captured some time ago by la
drones, and when last seen was being
taken into the mountains strapped to
fierce looking Filipino. Father Watt
man learned the particulars and when
he returned to Washington called upon
the bereaved mother to break the news.
Her intuition assisted him, for she said
Immediately:

"Ho! no! Could he have come in

His visitor had reached the corner,
and paused there for moment, look

out of the coupe stepped a man, who,
walking forward laid his hand on
Jebb's shoulder The latter started
with violent gesture, but presently
Gained down, and they stood there for
some moments in conversation.
Il would give good deal to know
what they are talking about NUT

trust the fellow; but must have conf
dence in some one, and only those of
his class will be able to tell me where
can find the man I want"
It seemed to him they must be talk
Ing about him, for now and then the
man who had alighted from the coupe
made a motion in the direction of the
cottage.
Hendricks could no longer remain a
witness Of conversation he felt sure
it was important that he should hear,
and, profiting by the debris in the
street. he wormed his way over to a

h+nring distance, they suddenly turned
@aout, went over to the coupe and en-

finally disappearing in the shadows.
Job shook his head and heaved a
deep sight as he started to return to
his cottage, greatly disturbed BY what
he had seen.
Il wonder If there could be any
other meaning to this than that the
fellow had been put on my track by
Ellison? And I thought I should be
safe for wilhelm peace. How T
wish it was all over, my work done

steps of a heartsick and tired man,
he entered the little place he hoped
would have been refuge, but might
