LADY, CONSTANCE STEWART RICHARDSON IN

battle is strenuous, it's a long, hard fall,
and the fragile body of Lady Constance
is knocked around enough to cause ad
miration and anxiety out on the other
side of the lights.
Il rehearsed that fall at home a whole
month";" she explains. It's an effort
to get some of the Greek poses during
the eighteen-foot drop, but l manage to
do four or five of them. They're all
taken from Greek bronzes and faun
figures.
"Of course get hurt some. The bare
boards Of the stage bruise considerably.
No, l don't have to be pushed off the
rock. We have a fight at the top and
one Of us has to go over"
Aside from which there isn't very
much to be said about either the dance
or the dame. When first she appeared
as a dancer it was in Greek costume,
guiltless of sandals, however. By de-
grees portions of the costume wore away.

building, so 1 had the whole place to
myself. My first act was to look for an
other ladder as line of escape in case
Of being chased. 1t is always well to
have a back door to your hiding place;
that is one of the essentials in scouting.
presently found a short ladder lead
ing from my platform to the stage below,
but it did not go to the ground. Peering
quietly over the scaffolding l saw my
friend the policeman below, still at fault.
l blessed my stars that he was no tracker
and therefore had not seen my foot
marks leading to the foot Of the ladder.
''Then l proceeded to take notes Of my
surroundings and to gather information.
Judging from the design of the building,
its great chimneys, etc., / was actually
on the new power house. From my post
/ had an excellent view over the dock
yard, and within 100 feet of me were
the excavation works of the new dock.
whose dimensions could easily estimate.
Il whipped out my prismatic compass
and quickly took the bearings OF two
conspicuous points on the neighboring
hills, and so fixed the position which
could be marked on large scale map
for purposes of Smelling the place II de-
sired.
Meantime my pursuer had called the
other policeman to him. and they were

low me, where I could watch them
through a crack between two of the foot
boards. They had evidently come to the
conclusion that ] was not in the power
house, as the interior was fully open to
view and they had had q good look into
1t. Their next step was to examine the
goods shed close by. which was evidently
full OF building lumber, etc.

remained outside on the line that
should probably take for escaping. that

leading to the gateway. BY accident
rather than by design he stood close to
the foot of the ladder, and this cut OF
my retreat in that direction. While they
were thus busy they were leaving the
gate unguarded. and ! thought It was
too good chance to be missed. 80. re-
turning along the scaffolding until !
reached the small ladder. climbed down
this ON to the lower story. and. seeing
no one about, I quickly svarmed down
one Of the scaholding poles and landed
safely on the ground close behind the
big chimney Of the building.
Here was out Of sight although not

that looks like a ragged piece Of veil
wrapped round her hips, thrown over
one shoulder, twisted twice round her
ribs, and draped almost-but not quite
half way to her knees. A streamer is
caught at the waist and waves frenziedly
when she dances. Her hair suggests the
castlebob only it's longer, bushing on
her shoulders and held by more Of the
yelling tied round her temples.
Which costume may have something
to do with the litter that ran round
among New York's elitest Of the elite,
when Lady Constance put on one of her
symbolical dances in the Della Robbia
room Of the Vanderbilt before the Fri
day Evening Club when she was on this
side.

the floor wearing brilliant robe. She
shed the robe. Replicas of what she
looked like are being sold for the benefit
Of the starving Belgians. She executed

to get inside somehow and to see what
l could. I watched the first Of the carts
60 in. and noticed that the policeman
was busily engaged in talking to the
leading wagner while the second be-
gan to pass through the gate. In
moment I jumped alongside it on the
side opposite to the janitor, and so
passed in and continued to walk with the
vehicle as vt turned to the right and
wound its way round the new building
In course Of construction.
Il then noticed another policeman
ahead of me, and SO I kept my position
by the cart, readapting its cover in order
to avoid him. Unfortunately In round
ing the corner l was spied by the hrst
policeman. and he Immediately began to
shout to me? l was deaf to his remarks
and walked on as unconcernedly as q
guilty being could until / placed the cor.
ner Of the new building between him and
me. Then I fairly hooked It along the
back of the building and rounded the far
corner of it. AS | did SO / saw out OF the
tail of my eye that he was coming full
speed after me and was calling police

red-shank round the next corner out OF
sight Of both policemen. and looked for
q method Of escape.
1.-THE scaffolding Of the new house
lowered above me and q ladder led up
wards on to 1t. Up this l went like

ner Of the building lest ! should be foi-
lowed.

corner came one Of the policemen. ! az

above sea level and not twenty yaros
from him. He stood undecided with MS
legs well apart, peering from side to side
in every direction to see where had
gone, anxious aid shifty. Was equally
anxious but immovable.
Presently he drew nearer TO the lad

when he came below me. and he passed
almost under me, looking In at the door

he beautifully turned and looked back 1t

gone in there. and finally started on. and
ran on round the next corner OF the build

and safely reached the platform OF the

Of the building between US. l made my
way round to the back of the lodge and
then slipped out of the gate without
being SEEN"
Another fascinating story relates to
the penetration of a certain fort-the
nationality is not stated, but the impress
sion Is that it was Teutonic-and Sir
Robert prefaces the narrative by these
hints on How to Enter Fort:
"Our next step was to see this wonder
full illuminant for night work, and In the
course of our wanderings we came across
q large fort from which searchlights had
been showing the previous night. There
were notice boards round this fort at q
distance Of about twenty yards apart
stating that nobody was allowed within
this circle of notices, and We argued that
II once we we're inside any sentry or de-
tective would naturally sappose we had
leave to be there.
I'VE tried the idea, and 1t worked
splendidly. We walked calmly through
camps and past sentries without q tremor
and not a question was asked us. Once
within this line we were able to get d.
rectly into the fort. and there we strolled
along as II the place belonged to NJ.
There is a certain amount Of art re-
quired in making yourself not appear to
be a stranger in a new place.
"In the minor matter of hat, boots.
and necktie II is we'll to wear those
bought In the country you are visiting.
otherwise your British-made articles are
sure to attract the attention Of q watch

"In the matter of demeanor you behave

toned TO being there.

The Washington herald., 1915-05-30

4 NYONE who has any desire 10
~ become a military spy either for
1 u the adventure or the remunerA-
ton It brings can do no better
than to consult Northumberland sir
Robert Baden-Powell's new book. which
has recently been published In England
and which tells how to get into fortinca-
tons, how to get out of them and how
to freeze"
The chief scout of the English Boy
Scouts was once a spy himself and his
volume is full of the most tantalizing
glimpses of secret service adventure
which he himself has gone through.
One device which he employed to
hoodwink inquisitive sentries was to as
sumo the pose and attributes of an IN
nocent butterfly hunter. Such pursuit
naturally takes one up hillsides and into
all sorts of unfrequented places II Is
therefore excusable If one finds oneself
quite Unexpectedly in the proximity OF
new fortress.
AL you need do is to produce your ny
nets and sketch books The books are
full of butterflies which. however. are
not all butterflies. Some are disguised
plans of forts. They can be made to
show the outline Of fortress and both
the position and the power Of the guns.
The heads Of these fake butterflies al
ways point toward the north.
Sir Robert has some interesting notes
on the uses of freezing" when being
pursued To freeze" means to become
absolutely immovable when close to
pursuing object. II one freezes" well
enough one can escape the sharpest eyes.
"The knowledge of this fact came in
useful on one Of my investigating tours.
