they enjoy there. According to Schroeder, who is not stuck on crows,
either, a big male crow from some other reservation yentured into the White
House grounds and was promptly tackled. He was game, too, and the fight
started.
Persons passing along began to stop to watch the battle, and the crowd
grew 20 large proportions. Transfers and automobile drivers stopped their
vehicles and Joined the throng. Schroeder was some distance away and did
not notice what was going OF until the crowd grew into large proportions.
Then he hustled down to the scene and went for the birds, which paid no
attention to him until he actually stood over them and founshed his arms
in a menactng manner.
Oldest employees of the White House grounds, where birds of all kinds
make their home, never saw IT heard of such a bloody scrap among feath-
cred fighters. Crows are generally credited with being the most cowardy
and cautious of all birds, and are easily whipped by a small bee maren, from
which they will flee for miles If pursued. Schroeder has been much per-
turbed over the affair, fearing that it is a bad omen of some kind.

Development Of Destructive Airshlp

The difficulty of properly arming

fact that we cannot yet obtain suf-
ficiently powerful engines even
though, in the course Of a few years,
the engines have increased in horse
power from about fifty to two hum
dred, says Claude Grahame-White In
the Youths Companion. But when

not Of hundreds of horse power, but
Of thousands, then we can imagine

that is equipped with formidable guns

In return she pressed mine. 1t was
the only means by which we could ex-
change condolences. She whom l had
sought through all those months sat
at my side, yet powerless to utter one
single word.
Suddenly I heard a stealthy foot
step approaching, and next moment a
low voice spoke which I recognized as
that of our friend, the Finn.
There is danger, eXcellency-a
grave danger!" he said in a low half
whisper. Three boats are in search
of US"
And scarcely had he uttered those
words when there was a flash of a rife
from the haze, a loud report, and a
bullet whizzed past Just behind my
head.
Quick, excellencyl Fly! while
there is yet time!" gasped the Finn
grasping my hand and half dragging
me from the boat, while l, in turn
placed Elma upon the bank.
The three of us, needless of the con
sequences, plunged forward into the
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1915-07-29

A quick glance at US satisfied him that
we were not thieves, and he invited us
in while Felix explained that we had
landed from the lake, and our boat
having drifted away we had been com
PEELED to take to the woods. The man
heard the Firms picturesque story,
and then said something to me which
Felix translated into Russian.
Your excellency is welcome to all
the poor fare he has. He gives up
his bed in the room yonder to the
lady, so that she may rest. He is
honored by your excellency's pres
ence."
And while he was making this ex-
PLANTATION the wood cutter stirred the
red embers whereon a big pot was
simmering, and sending forth an ap-
petizing odor, and in five minutes we
were all three sitting down to a stew
of capercailzie, with a foaming light
beer as a fitting beverage.
After we had finished our meal
asked the sturdy old fellow for a pen
Gil, but the nearest thing he possessed
was a stick of thick charcoal, and with
that it was surely difficult to commu-
nicate with our fair companion. There
fore she rose, gave me her hand,
bowed smilingly, and then passed into
the inner room and closed the door,
while we threw ourselves YEARLY upon
the wooden benches and slept soundly,
Suddenly, however, at early dawn,
we were startled by a loud banging at
the door, the Gathering of hoofs, and
authoritative shouts in Russian. The
old wood cutter sprang up, and, look.
ing through a chink in the heavy shut
tiers, turned to us with blanched face,
whispering breathlessly:
1.-THE police! What can they want
of me?"
"Open!" shouted the horseman out,
side. "Open in the name of his mai
esty!"
Felix made a dash for the door o.
the inner room, where Elma had re
tired, but next second he reappeared
gasping in Russian:
"Excellency! Why, the door is open
the lady has gone!"
"Gone!" l cried, dismayed, rushing
into the little room, where | found thu
truckle couch empty and the door lead
ing outside wide open. She had actu
ally disappeared!r
The police again battered at the on
posite door, threatening loudly t,
break 1t in if it were not opened a
once, whereupon the old wood cutie
drew the bolt and admitted them. Tw,
big, hulking fellows in heavy ridinj
coats and swords strobe in, while tw,
others remained mounted outside, hold
ing the horses.
"Your names?" demanded one of tn
fellows, glancing at us as we stoo
together in expectation.
Our host told them his name, an
/ asked why they wished to enter.
; 1--WE are searching for a woma
who has escaped from Kaiana," wa
| the reply. Have you seen any woma
r here?"

organized a charitable work at the
Care du Nord, in Paris, which they
called For the Wounded and for the

At last we saw before us a light

later Felix was knocking at the door,
and asking in Finnish the occupant
to give hospitality to a lady lost in the

We heard a low growl like a NUT

the door opened there stood upon
the threshold a tall, bearded, muscu-

a big revolver shining in his hand.
