Providence, was given a position in
the office of the Austrian consul-gen-
eral in New York city. She had never
been in New York before, but she was
head OF a number of people in COM
petition, and the man choosing the
stenographer they wanted, a capable
girl able to do his work and to keep
her mouth shut, had been informed
that she was the party TO choose-by
other friends of ours. One day about
five or six weeks after she got there
she informed us that a great packing
case was being filled up with propa-
ganda documeLs and with bills Of ex
pense in connection with explosions
in munition plants and other vital
and valuable things, and was to be
shipped off the following week right
straight to England on a Swedish
ship and from there to Germany.
THE only thing we could possibly
do was TO Identify the package. One
day when they were about to close
the package up this girl, under in
structions-and may say incidentally
she is now back at work getting her

her lunch. Nearly everybody else had
gone but Won Papen, rather debonaif
and fond Of ladies, wandered in ane

he could share her lunch with her,
She said certainly, and while they
were sharing the sandwiches he made
some sentimental advances and she in

red pencil and drew two big red hearts
on this packing case. II was Captain
Won Papen himself who put the arrow
thru them. And, ladies and gentle,

Doctor Albcrt's Portfolio.
Another incident, the loss of n
portfolio belonging to Dr. Heinrich
Albert, an Austrian official, which
contained papers relating to Am bassa-
dor Dumba's efforts to incite labor
troubles in the United States, created
quite a stir among the diplomats"
Mr.. Rathom told of how Il Journal
reporter got the papers as the result
of which Dumba was sent back to
Austria by the president
"One of the Journal reporters had
been shadowing Doctor Albert in New
York, hut for months nothing seemed
wrong. one day he went into a
leather goods store, where he ordered
portfolio and gave the salesman in
structions to put his Initials on IT,
The reporter, as soon as Albert had
gone out, walked up to the salesman
and ordered another portfolio of the
same kind, but with no initials, say.

other gentleman's initials looked
When he came back and saw the
initials he said he didn't like them,
and departed to go to another shop
and have the same initials put on his
portfolio. His work was becoming
less tiresome and less fruitless than
