the same service. ! shall not be permitted

prefer to turn them over to you, hoping
that you may succeed in getting away
with them or transferring them to an
other.
Here at last was an explanation Of
my singular treatment. an explanation
that filed me with apprehension. And
when I thought that might be arrest
ed with this paper on me ! felt the
marrow in my bones CONCEAL. How
should get rid of It? If tore it into
bits and threw them away they might
be collected and put together. The
only safe way was to burn them-that
is, IL could do SO without being seen.
I finally hit on an expedient had a
pipe with me and while putting tobac-
co in 1t for a smoke contrived to put
the paper In also. Then, lighting the
contents, I smoked vigorously. The
paper stopped the draft, and I was
obliged to relight several times. Final
~ there was nothing left Of the paper
but ashes.
After the departure Of the guests
from Berlin the general sent for ME
and received me with a manner en-
tirely changed.
II have to offer you an apology" he
said, "for a suspicion that has attach
ed to you since you came into our
camp. We had information that spy
answering your description was seek
ing admission to our camps. That Is
the reason you were sent to me instead
Of being expelled from our lines. We
have been watching you while giving
you every facility to gather informa
ton which we did not intend you
should take away. The lady who gave
you a slip of paper last evening did so
at my request since we desired evi
dence against you.
However. the traps we have laid
for you came to a halt this morning

"He is to be shot this afternoon.

I declined the honor and asked the
generals permission to depart at once

The public health bureau

The public health bureau says
that fear of the germs they may
contain need deter no one from
amassing greenbacks as swiftly as
possible, since the ink kills the
germs. Was anyone ever discov-
cred who allowed such a fear to
keep him poor, and if such a crav-
en-spirited soul exists, is it worth
while to reassure him?

Witch Burning.

There are countries in which the exc
cution Of women as witches is only a
thing of yesterday. The last instance
Of witch burning occurred as recently
a. 1888 In Peru, and in;other parts Of
South America cases continued to oc
cur until well into the second half Of
the nineteenth century. England's OVID
last conviction for witchcraft took
place at Hertford in 1712, and Scot
land condemned a witch ten years
later, while Spain and Germany re-
tanned a judicial belief in witches and
the justice Of killing them until 1882
and 1896

lose a Arm grip on herself az a WON

cling to the delightful feminine traits
that are hers by NATURE.
She need not choose mannish attire
or forget to play with little children
or keep In touch with her woman
friends. or lose interest In the pleasure
OF home-making. or shut out modish
and becoming styles to enhance her
