thousands of other Americans, and our
chances OF getting out seemed no bet

to take a chance on reaching Holland,
and SO procured a passport from the
Holland consul (the American consul
seemed unable to make any satisfae-

Amsterdam. We travelled in the troop

at stations from one to three hours,

chocolate with us, so we did not go

Americans with Us.

When we reached Frankfort we were
told that no German steamers were
running on the Rhine, and only one
Holland boat going to Cologne and
Rotterdam, and all reservations were
engaged for days ahead, so we boarded
a train for Wiesbaden, only few hours

Sunday morning we took another train
for Cologne, along the banks of the
Rhine all the way-a most beautiful
ride. We were the only Americans on
the train, and all along the way we

DESERT OF LUXURY
BY JOHN FILSoN.

John Sharpless unlocked the door
OF his fiat and let himself in. He
hung up his hat in the hall and went
slowly into his library. The maid was
busting; at the sight of him she gath
cred up her broom and pan and hur'
ried toward the door.
MRS. Sharpless said she'll be home
to dinner. SIR" she said.
John Sharpless was conscious OF a
slight sense OF annoyance. The bank
er was not a man given to analyzing
his sensations; however, during the
past few days things had occurred
which had given a new turn to his
thoughts. And he found himself scru-
tinizing his relations with Winifred
with greater care than usual.
He had been married five years, and
his marriage had been failure; there
was no doubt about that. Winifred's
parents had been poor. She was coun.
try-bred, too, and the plunge into New
York's social life had been a change,
indeed. She ought to have been CRATE
full, at least, even if she had no love
for him.
John thought rather grimly about
those past five years. There had
never been child. There might have
been. only Winifred was lazy and lux
urious, and seemed to think Of moth
ing but her woman's clubs and tea
parties. John had nothing in common
with any Of her friends. And she
never hesitated to sacrifice his COM
fort to them.
Yes, 1t was strange, her coming
home to dinner. Usually she dined
alone, before he came in. He was a
very busy man, and had been buster
than usual until that evening. In fu-
ture he did not expect to be SO busy.
Half an hour later he was seated op-
posite his wife at the table. He no.
ticed her flushed cheeks; Winifred
was still as pretty and girlish as when
he married her. A sudden pang shot
through his heart. How different
things might have been! But was he
to blame for the GOODNESS, the estrange-
ment?
After dinner Winifred did not with.
draw, but sat watching him while he
drank his coffee. John Sharpless felt
dimly that something was impending.
Winifred had something to say to
him, as he to her. He would let her
speak first. She did.
John, II you have finished your cot
fee, want to tell you something" she
said. Il am going to leave you"
The banker quietly set down his
cup. So the blow had fallen at last
And he was glad-very glad! Under
the circumstances-but that could
como later.
Il am going to leave you tomorrow

found that the spaces between the
ceiling of the rooms on the first floor
and the floor of the rooms of the sec

ey.
The floors in ten of the rooms were
removed and two hundred gallons OF
honey were taken. The bees attacked
the workmen and Edward b. Ginter
Jr., was stung severely. Thomas T.
Miller later removed the bees from
the building without injury. The
swarms were placed in twelve hives.
The bees had entered the building
through a crack in one of the rear
walls and have been in there two or
three years.
