desperadoes conducted 4 hasty scru-

of the gunner covered the crowd
with the two guns, the other went
through the pockets OF the victims
and the cash register.
This is not wild fancy from
the pen OF Rex Beach, Alfred Henry
Lewis nor the delusion of some
scenario writer's brain. The tale s
branded with the trademark OF the
twentieth century, was enacted with
in few hundred feet OF one of
the transcontinental lines and most
of the money was taken from an
National cash register.
Impossible as it appears, the hold-up
occurred under the most favorable
conditions to the desperadoes.
The men were all standing at the
bar, with the bartender serving
drinks, when the door suddenly
swung open and a masked man
leveled his gun directly at the
crowd. The ring in his voice as he
pronounced the order to throw all
hands .heavenward. quickly shat
tered the presumption that 4 'joke"
was being pulled.
After over 500 in cash and six

booty, the desperadoes ordered their
Tictims to fall in line and march.

bear her away from him forever
Those who witnessed the spectacle
will never forget the deep pathos of
that farewell.
Beside them, as they said their last
goodIoyes, stood Robert w. Daniel
Of Philadelphia. He did not then
dream that the beautiful young
bride, whom he saw that moment for
the first time, would some day be his
wife.
AS those remaining realized the
last possible person had been taken
from the ship by the l1feboats, Mr..
Daniel removed his ovarcoat and
fastened a nfebelt around his waist.
He plunged into the icy sea, and was
picked up two hours later, weak but
still conscious, by lifeboat which
was drifting aimlessly about the
wreck-strewn sea. Then the Car
pathia sighted the little fleet and
sent her boats to pick up the sur
vivors.
1t was on the deck of the Car
pathia that Daniel next saw Mrs.
Smith. They remembered one an
other And on the trip to New York
he did everything he could to cheer
the heartbroken girl. On their ar

young Mr.. Smith was confirmed.
Two years passed, during which
time Daniel and Mrs. Smith were
completely lost to each other. One
day early last spring Mr.. Daniel, re-
turning from his country home in
Richmond, Va. was asked to stop
over for an evening in Washington
as one Of the guests at an informal
dinner dance. He was to escort a
Mrs. Smith, the hostess told him;
and taking him by the arm walked
with him to the other side Of the
room that she might make her two
guests acquainted.
But I already know Mr.. Daniel"
Mrs. Smith exclaimed smilingly, as
she extended her hand. HE and I
are old friends
And very firm friends they soon
became. From that day Mr.. Daniel
was often seen in the company of
the young widow and mother, whose
child had been BORN a few months
after the sinking of the Titanic.
Just recently the expected an
of the marriage came.
1t was to the effect that Mrs. Smith
had become Mrs. Daniel last August.
Owing to the fact that Mr.. Daniel
was called to Europe on business a
day or two after the ceremony the
was kept a secret until
after his return.

Of coincidence or congratulation, with
an occasional brief quotation from
short speeches made before soldiers at
the front.
While it is not generally known
where the General Headquarters are
now located, something is known about
how life goes on there. A private let
ter from an officer attached to head
quarters contains the following pas
sage:
There is little time here for writing
to all the friends in the dear old Faith
erland, for everybody here is working,
Sundays and week days, from dawn till
bed time. Everything must be fin
ished to the minute, yet everything is
done in the quiestest manner imagin-
able. Every man has his task and
carries it out. A brief war bulletin
is distributed every forenoon at the
building of the General Staff The sit

From the headquarters of the various
armies adjutants or commanders them
selves, hidden or unbidden, arrive,

they are soon away again. We read
