One Of the noblest works in reliev-
ing the suffering Of wounded SOL
diers is being undertaken by women
of the Austrian nobility. who are
sacrificing their very jewels and
dnery to show their sympathy for
their fellow counnymen-
Recently Baroness NJ Reitzes of

capitals society leaders and noted
as one Of the most beautiful women
in Europe. sold her wonderful pearl
necklace for $4,000 and with the
amount purchased bread for the
poor. Countess 4ianon Won DUN
reicher gave 5000 cork legs to SOL
diers. who lost their limbs in battle
Countess Sierstorn purchased from
her savings 1000 pounds Of tobacco
for distribution among the troops of
her country.
These gifts to the poor and to the
afflicted soldiers were more appre-
c1ated than hero medals Such pres
ents from women so fair. who have
abandoned their high rank to be
among the afflicted, always viii be
treasured by the persons benefited.
The presentation OF the gifts
aroused the soldiers to the knowl-
edge that the nobility were keenly
and sympathetically in their favor.
The man in the trench wants to feel
that the people of the nobility at
home are sincerely with him and
endeavoring to do their best to aid
him instead Of Standing back in
safety and holding his coat while he
fights
In the present war the German
and Austrian nobility have given
their troops the greatest confidence
by going TO the front with them
King Frances Joseph and all of his
officers are with their troops while
the Kaiser and his sons are almost
ubiquitous and would pitch right in
to battle themselves were they not
restrained by their generals and of
hcers. The risks undergone By the
Kaiser. and his sons especially have
won the admiration and confidence
of the men. Then the kindness and
thoughtfu1ness Of these pretty
countesses from Vienna won a soft
spot IN the hearts Of the soldiery.

ANGEL IN
THE TRENCHES.
AS this pretty countess went
through the hospitals and camps,
giving away the legs and adjusting
them to the stumps left after the
crushed flesh was removed by sur
geons. she might have been mag
med an angel. so hearty was her
welcome.
with her own dainty hands she
adjusted the limbs to see that they
fitted and the wounded smiled up
at her with their love shining in
their eyes and they pressed her
hands to their lips in token of crate
sulness.
An eighteen-year-old boy lay IN
the hospital at Vienna with a leg on.
The countess approached his bed.
Seeing him 50 brave and yet 50
youthful she bent and bestowed a
kiss on his forehead. The lad, de-
1lrious from a fever: following an
operation, placed his arms about her
and wept The countess held him in
her arms and talked to him long
time. Then she bent and kissed him
on the lips and the boy viii ever re-
member that kiss and 1t shall ever
burn on his lips as the reward of
nobility for having fought the great
fight?
In one bed an old. gray-haired
man lay. He refused to allow the

NO, I lost this leg IN fighting for
my country and shall not conceal
the marks of my service by wearing

The tavern stood in cleared place with
miles OF forest around It, and a marsh
stretching nearby. Dusk could not pre-
vent our seeing a few log habitations, one
OF them decorated with merchants
sign. We entered among swarming
crowds, a little world dropped into the
backwoods. This was more surprising be-
cause we had just left behind us sense
OF wild things gathering to their night
haunts, and low savage cries. and visions
OF moose and deer through far-off arches.
A man who appeared to be the host met
us. his sprightly interest In our welfare
being tempered by the consciousness of
having many guests; and told us the
house was full, but he would do what he
could for us.
why is the house full?" rretted Doctor
Chantry. What right have you, my
dear sir to crowd your house and so in
sure our discomfort"
None at all, sir" answered the host
good naturedIy. "If you think you can
do better, try for lodging at the store

hysterical cry turned some attention to
us. II shall do nothing of the kind. I

My master turned his nose like the

politicians from Washington and trotted
to the fireplace where blazing knots
cheered a great tap-room set with many
T. hles and benches.

However. the sights to be seen put him
out of my head. Besi1es the tap-room
