expenses, $1207.07; travelling expenses,
$851.58; postage, $501.23; telephone

You rush to army headquarters and to

charge of the fates and destinies OF

are crowded with other officers receiv-

speak to him Anyhow, if the story
is true, you'll hear it, officially, in
time. Officers are rushing in and
out. One of them has bale of paper

FELDPOSTAMT NO. 80, NEAR THE

the big Galician town six miles distant,
where there are coffee houses, stores
and other blessings of civilization. His
question is daily one; he asks it only
to know how many carriages he must
have ready after dinner and at what
hours. We raise our hands, he counts
heads and two hours later we find our
selves after a ride through the hills,
walking the streets of a lively town,
where some of the chief officers or

We go to the coffee house to talk
to Max. He used to be waiter in a
newspaper row restaurant in New York
and he's always willing to talk inter-
estingly of those golden days before
he took notion to come back home to
Galicia with his pile only to lose
it here. In 1915, though, he's going
back: he knows where he can make
$40 day anytime in New York or Chi
cago or Frisco by his walters tricks.
He confesses some of his New York

He did not repeat his wife's invita-
ton for the morning call. Somehow
Mrs. Collins did not entirely appeal to
him. He knew that she had been
neighborly and a friend to his wife, but
he was inclined at times to doubt the
value of the friendship. Neighbors
were none too plentiful in their colony
and, such as they were, the pressing
duties of the home kept most of them
pretty closely confined. He knew that
his wife was in need of company Of

ency, and baked the sand and shriv-
eled up the heading lettuce in Bob's
garden. 1t scored the scant foliage
of the new-set trees and scorched the
lawn he had coaXed from seed. The
house offered the only shelter, and
even that was hot. Jane made two or
three excursions to the beaches with
Mrs. Collins, but these necessitated
tiresome rides on crowded trolleys, SO
she abandoned them and stayed
closely at home with nothing but her
work, her books and idle chats with
her neishbors to while away the hours
of the long, hot day.
At night Bob pulled prodigiously at
cheap, black cigars while he sat out
side after dinner and battled with an
endless host of mosquitoes. When he
had smoked himself dizzy he would

dous trip from Harlem or the Heights,
where their few acquaintances lived,
and one by one all but Dick dropped
away. He came regularly every We'd
nesday.
They tried two or three trips to
New York themselves, but the dis
lance made these a hardship rather
than a pleasure and there was the
added expense. Once when they at
tempted a little dinner after a night
at a roof garden tsey missed the last
boat and had to stay at hotel. Bob
tried to conceal his misgivings as to
how this would affect the weeks
finances, but Jane knew. They gave
it up and stayed at home.
So the summer passed and fall came.
Bob missed his garden. Frost nipped
the tomatoes that had been so late in
starting and this marked the last of
their outdoor activities. The monot-
ony for both began to pail, but they
hid their feelings from each other.
More and more Jane sought refuge
in the futile companionship of the gos-
siping Mrs. Collins. They went occa-
sionally to New York for the matinees,
but more frequently to spend an after
noon in idle wandering through the
stores, for the funds of each were
frugal They were returning from
such a journey one evening in late
October.

A Surprise For the Thief.

Herr Hager, a rich and infuen-
tial banker, frequently had watches
picked from his pocket. At first he
had recourse to all kinds of safety
chains; then one morning lie took
no precautions whatever and quietly
allowed himself to be robbed. At
night, on returning from his bust
ness, he took up the evening paper;
he uttered an exclamation of de-
light. A watch had exploded in a
mans hands. The victims hands
were shattered and the left eye de-
stroyed. The crafty banker had
