II don't know what to do with n.y.

leaning out of the back window of
his bachelor apartment and survey
ing the gloomy flats around him.
Two months before he had been sum-
moned home from New Mexico, where
his power dam had made him famous,
to take charge of the engineering de-
partment of his company at head
quarters. His salary was ample, he
had wealth, he was only twenty-five;
yet he had managed to make no &C
quaintances in the big city.
A free life in the West had made
him different from the average city
bred young man; he thought the me-
tropolis stiff and it's people devoid OF
interest.
Suddenly, as he leaned out, survey
ing the huge buildings and specializing
how many thousand lives ran on in
them, light sprang into being in the
building opposite, on the fifth floor,
on a level with his. Behind a drawn
shade he saw the silhouette of man.
He was STOPPING over a table and,
as Cray watched. he saw the shadow
of woman behind him. Suddenly her
hand plunged downward. The elon-
gated object in it looked like a
poniard. 1t struck the man in the side
of the neck and he rolled over.
The woman stood looking at him for
a moment; then, with gesture of
triumph, she flung the poniard out of
the window, raising the shade little.
Cray heard metallic tinkle in the
court below. Then followed darkness.
He leaned out, astounded at what
he had seen and hardly believing it
real. How long he waited he did not
know. Suddenly his bell rang.
He went out into the passage and
saw, standing outside the door, one of
the most beautiful women whom he
had ever met. She was twenty-three or
four. Her eyes cleaned with feverish
intensity, her hair was disheveled
and her hands were red.
Save me! Hide me! Help mel" she
pleaded.
Cray did not hesitate an instant. He
pulled her through the doorway and
led her to the bathroom. He filled the

PREVENTING BELuGERENTS FROM
VIOLATING NEUTRALITY BIG TASK
Customs Authorities of the Port of New York Never Before Had
Situation to Deal With Like That Created by the European War
Efficient Bay Patrol Assisted by Swift Destroyers
Keep Constant Watch on Outgoing Vessels

New York.-New York is a neutral
port.
1t is rs~tfal despite the presence
here CT vessels of all nations.
These vessels are free to come and
go as long as they observe the neutral
fly laws of the United States.
Dudley Field Malone, collector OF
the port, is charged with the respon-
sibility for the enforcement of these
laws.
Mr.. Malone has been without prece-
dent to guide him. No other collector
of this port ever had to deal with
situation like that created by the war
in Europe.
From the outset he has been de-
termined, so far as his district is con-
cerned, to prevent any act on the
part of any of the belligerents which
would compromise the neutrality or
this country as defined in President
wilson's proclamation, says the New
York Herald.
The need for prompt and vigorous
action was emphasized by the Kron-
prinz Wilhelm episode. The records
of the custom house show that this
vessel. cleared in a proper manner.
The authorities had no legal right to
detain it.
Becomes Commerce Destroyer.
Yet the facility with which the
Kronprinz Wilhelm was transformed
from a peaceful merchant vessel to
a commerce destroyer as soon as it
was on the high seas caused the gov
ernment to turn it's attention to the
activities which became manifest on
board other steamships that were in
the harbor.
Mr. Malone Immediately organized
o neutrality bureau, consisting OF
about a hundred customs officials.
These men were assigned to various
piers and stations where vigilance
seemed necessary.
Each man was held to strict &C
countability, but Mr. Malone set them
"a splendid example, for night after
might he was out in the harbor, in
wind, rain or cold, either on torpedo
boat destroyer or one Of the govern
,ments fast launches which have been
assigned to neutrality duty.
The formalities attending the clear
ance of a vessel were made more
strict, closer inspection of the load
ing of cargoes was instituted, and to

The Difference.

The mistress of the house found
Truda, the cook, very busy writing
at the kitchen table, though it was
past time for getting dinner. For a
half minute perhaps she watched the
laborious process of literary compo-
sition. Then she spoke with asperity.
How much longer" she exclaimed,
ARE you going to be over that beg
carly post card?" Truda looked up
indignantly.
"Beggarly post card!" she said.
"Beggarly post card! I'd have you
know that this is no beggarly post
card! Not much! 1t is a field post
card, it is-to the exempt reservist.

basin and washed her hands, drying
them on towel afterward. Then he
took her into his spare room.
You're quite safe here" he said in
a low voice. Nobody saw you come
in. You can stay as long as you want
to-"
She crouched in corner, glaring at
him like hunted beast. He hest
tated, then he closed and bolted the
window and withdrew, leaving the
door open.
For half an hour he waited, fearing
that he would hear the bolt snap, that
she would try to plunge down into the
court below. But hardly a sound
came from the room. When at last he
returned she was lying on the floor
asleep.
He placed her on the couch and she
did not awaken. Her sleep was of
profound exhaustion. All night Cray
sat up, waiting. Sometimes he stole
in to look at her, but she never
stirred. 1t was not till the sun was
She came forward unsteadily and
looked in at him as he sat by the
window.
Where am -" she cried. Who

Cray rose and took her by the
hands. 81 am friend" he answered.
you are safe here-safe to come or
to CO."
She burst into hysterical sobbing.
When at last he had quoted her the
girl told Cray her story.
She had mot a man in her home in
Virginia, three months before. He
had asked her to be his wife. Her
parents mistrusted him; she followed
him stealthily, to learn too late that
all that had been said about him was
true. He was a gambler, a swindler.
She remembered those three months
with loathing. Her horror of him had
grown. He had deceived her with a
mock ceremony, lied to her-at last
she had learned that he had wife
already.
She had written home, but her let
ters were returned unanswered. She
had nowhere to turn, she was ignorant
of any trade, and the man held her by
his lying promises. He had almost
got his divorce, he said; he loved her;
for her sake he would reform, if only
she would trust him
She had waited for him the evening
before; then there was a dreadful
Hank in her mind, and she had re-
covered to find herself standing over
the body. And she had fed wildly for
shelter.
CRAY patted her hands. You stay
with me until the trouble blows over"

1t Did-And 1t Didn't.

With groan and snort the ex-
press stopped at the wayside station,
because the signal stood at danger.
On the platform stood a number of
passengers waiting for the next train
"a slow. Glad of the chance of trav-
cling more quickly, they began to
open the carriage door and enter.
The guards face turned purple with
wrath. Rushing wildly along, he sig
nailed to the daring passengers to keep
back.
Stand away, there!" he ordered.
Stand away! This train doesn't stop
here!"

guard against a vessel attempting to
leave the harbor without clearance
papers it was arranged to have some of
the speediest torpedo-boat destroyers
in the navy stationed in the Narrows
of Quarantine and in the sound Off
IWhitestone. Cables were laid and at
tached to a buoy, from which direct
connection could be made with one
of the destroyers on guard at either
station, so that it would be possible
to telephone direct from the custom
house to the commanding officer at
any minute during the day or night.
Private telephones were also placed
at each pier around the harbor, max
ing it possible for the men on guard
to get into instant communication
with the collectors office.
No Chance to Get BY.
I Under this arrangement as soon as
a vessel has cleared at the custom
house notice is sent to the torpedo
boat destroyer on guard, and no YES
sci is allowed to leave the harbor I'M
til the commander of the destroyer
has received word from the custom
house that clearance has been granted.
+ The efficacy of this supervision was
tested when the steamship Pathfinder,
ignoring the signals to stop, steamed
rapidly past Quarantine and was
down in the lower bay before the de-
stroyer got under Roadway. The de-
parting boat was speedily overhauled,
but even then the captain refused to
stop until solid shot was fired across
his bows. He thereupon decided to
take no chances on what might hap
pen next and returned as ordered
to the Quarantine station, where he
was detained until proper clearance
was produced. Several other boats
have been stopped in like manner.
The vigilance OF the neutrality

this carelessness.

to keep rigid watch to see that no
explosives are loaded on passenger

duty, under the law, to prevent ship

In enforcing neutrality Mr.. Malone
has not lost sight of the fact that

want to be of utmost service to their
