no more than patch OF snow 200
yards in diameter Across this
moved a single figure. All figures
NJ that distance were very much
alike, but Sibyl Treverton knew
that this man was her husband

Yes, mother" she said in a low
voice. They seem to crawl-they
have gone hardly any distance;
they seem tired. they hardly move"
Ducane came ont OF the hotel and
stood by sibyls side. He had a
small telescope in his hand.
He's getting on finely" he said
They'll meet in about three hours

sioyl did not answer. She was
trying TO find that small black speck

thought formed itself in her mind

down the slope. gathering strength
and volume as II went. She FOL.

drop down precipice-a mass as

seemed TO her that the whole slope

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

The last Bavarian Jewish officer
who belonged to the active army,
Major Max Hollerbaum, died from
severe wounds in a surgical hospital.
Born in 1850, in Munich, he joined
the infantry regiment in 1870 as
volunteer, and took part in the Fran
co-Prussian War, in which he won
the Iron Cross and the Bavarlan
Order of Military Merit.
The novelist and dramatist, Ar
mold Zweig, at present at the front,
has been awarded this years prize

Ritual Murder Plot in Petrograd.

A murder trial in which a Jew by
the name of Shmulewitz was in
volved, was proclaimed by the anti
semitic press in Petrograd as a rit-
ual murder and threatened to be-
come very dangerous to the Jews.
The Jew was accused of killing a
Christian woman, with whom he was
in love and who repudiated his adj
vances. The reactionary press saw
in this an opportunity of bringing
up the ritual murder accusation.
The court, however, set the Jew free
for lack Of proper evidence.

to him that while all England only
gave about six per cent. Of it's pop
