Two widely different types of the
Russian women spies are the cousins
Tatiana and Pavlova Pozharsky. They
look like sweet. fresh country maid
ems, and they are ready to give their
lives in the service of the car.
They do their work for the
government within the confines
Of the Russian empire. They go
to Finland, Poland, to Siberia and
Manchuria. These women are re-
markedly fearless and self.effacing;
they have lived in huts in frozen ST.
IBERIA and endured great privations
and discomforts to perform the duties
imposed upon them. They are in
danger of their lives every hour. for
to watch the revolutionists is their
special duty. and if they we're sus-
pected they would be killed at once.
The cousins are well educated, and
like their sister spies, they have had
many love affairs; in fact, it is usu-
ally upon love affair that these wom-
en- depend to obtain the best of their
information.

as it was blown back in the rush to
the window, but the fall failed to pro-
duce more than slight shock.
Mrs, Williams started the stove
shortly after nightfall. when a change
of weather brought chill breezes from
the northwest She was busy with
her sewing, when the stove exploded
and became enveloped In fame. With
out an instant's hesitation she grabbed
1t up In her arms and with oil burn
Ing her hands and neck rushed to the
window. She thrust it against the
glass and burst out the sash, but in
her haste to drop her perilous burden
she leaned TOO far out and followed

Mrs. Williams as she fell and ran to
her assistance, later summoning Pc.
llceman Elliott to his assistance. AT.
ter examining the house to see that
70 blaze had been started they sent
Mrs. Williams to the German hospital,
where her condition was reported as
not serious.

defeat Of the armies north Of 1t in the
autumn of 1862. the Confederates had
begun to consider the possibility Of its
fall. That calamity would give the
enemy an open road by way Of Dali

During the winter Of 1863 the Con-
federate engineers had planned exten

defending Vicksburg and holding the
Federals north OF Chattanooga. But
