Been dissipating for a year. Saw a
friend die of delirium tremens and got

a sister and was ashamed. He came
to us square. Had no money nor a

Denslow saw the man whose name
and recommendations he had stolen

him purposely at a distance, studied
him, inquired about him. Yes, to all

Acting Treasurer after this"
But that isn't my name" pro-
nounced Denslow bluntly. 1t was one
thing to masquerade under a false

And he was so valuable, and humane,
and earnest that he had his w way.
He visited Driscoll and explained. He
gave him a position in the office. He
reassumed his own name and his friend,

"A success, though novel.

COUNTESS SAID NOTHING

When the Countess Won Berns-
torff, wife of the German ambassador
to the United States, arrived at New
York after a prolonged stay in Europe,
the representatives of the press natur-
ally were eager to get from her some
statement concerning conditions in
Germany, where she had been since
the beginning of the great war. The
count, however, headed the reporters
off and himself went down the bay in
a revenue cutter to meet his wife.
When he was asked If the countess
would say something for publication,
about the war or anything else, the
ambassador volunteered to act as in
termediary between the newspaper
men and his wife.
"My dear" he said. "these gentle
men would like to know that you have
nothing to say"
Naturally, after that, the countess
had nothing to say. All who partici-
pated In the incident admitted that the
