and smiled. Beverly meant much to
him. The great, grinding god Of strife
and turmoil had brought them togeth-
er, and then that gentle but pitilcss
little god. Cupid. had singled them out.
Cupid had triumphed. Strong was in
love with Beverly; she adored him.
Perhaps it is because trouble gen
orally accompanies pleasure that Strong
sighed as be smiled over the great
happiness in his life. Certain it was
that grim trouble awaited him-that
trouble aud tragedy were even then
standing on tho threshold of Beverly
ClarkcS life.
The enormous wealth left by her UNI
Gle was responsible for it all. Chief of
Detectives Ackerton had that wealth
locked in safe in his Office. He was
planning on that day to turn it over to
Beverly. \ few minutes before Ack-
erton entered his office, tall, slender
figure, masked and carrying a pistol,
crept into the place and went straight
to the safe which was in the great de-
tectiye's laboratory.
All was dark. The figure fumbled at
| the safc-lOck with nervous determina-

| and almost stumbled over the body Of
his chief. Mortified, he rushed to a
telephone and called UP Detective Rod

of the laboratory. during which he

HELP WAR PRISONERS

With all preoccupaton with the many millions under arms the six millions of and boys anguishng in pris onerof-war camps throughout the warning countries must not be forgotten.
 The problem of serving them is difficult beyond meas ure Thousands of prisoners concentrated in con- fled nThey of all ages, from young boys to men over seventy They of every social class in every de gree of misery and desoaon torn away from everything they understand and hold dear.
 To organize the mfor helpful games and occupations to employ their powers any useful way to teach supply books musical instruments, writing materials, clothing to put them in communication with their families to help them to the consultations of their religion and to lead them to help themselves and face life with hope this is to rebuild tissue of civilization out of these patriotic groups of humanity, is new problem.
 Each of the warning nations is doing all it can for the prisoners in its hands, but their enormous numbers and the concentration of all the nations energies the fight for life leave only bare necesSares for prisoners One young American in camp where theEe seventy thou sand prisoners has organized nearly two thousand Aus tran and German prisoners into classes studying score of subjects.

THOUSANDS 0F RED GROSS NURSES ID
 GO ID WAR FRONT

Fifteen thousand nurses have al- ready been enrolled by the American Red Cross, many of whom have volun- teered for war service, according to a statement made public at Red Cross headquarters in Washington. About two thousand have already been sent to Europe. It is estimated that the present registered force is sufficient to care for an army of a million and a half and approximately a thousand nurses are being added monthly.
 'It is of the greatest importance that able and educated young women should be urged to enter the regular training schools and take the usual course in order to fit themselves fully for nursing" said Miss Jane A. De- lano, chairman of the National Com mittee on Nursing Service. While our present needs are being met, the bur den of the war will increase rapidly. It is highly desirable that the ablest, most experienced nurses should be re- leased for service behind the lines, and constant supply of younger nurses, thoroughly trained, will allow these older women to leve their posts in this country without danger to our own sick"
 As a part of the American Red Cross program for aid to Serbia, which has been undertaken in cooper ation with the Serbian government, the Red Cross has just shipped 5000 bags of flour for Serbians in Austrian prison camps.
 This is the first shipment of a se- ries of food purchases which the Red Cross, in cooperation with the Ser bian government, is making in this country for the relief of prisoners. The Serbian minister has deposited s500,000 to the credit of the Red Cross for the purchase of these food stuffs.
 The allies must provide living neces- sities for their soldiers who are cap tured, because the Central Powers are not providing prisoners of war with sufficient food to keep them in good health. By arrangement with Ger many and Austria, prisoners are per mitted to receive extra rations and clothing from their home govern ments. Lack of supplies in Europe has forced Serbia to buy in the United States.
 The war council of the Red Cross has appropriated $31,212 to buy 75 tons of food for American prisoners in Germany. The food is to be forward ed to the Red Cross warehouse at
Mohave County miner., 1917-11-03

Berne, Switzerland, pending its need by American prisoneds. At present the number of American prisoners in German prison camps consists only of about 100 seamen. Twenty-Five tons of food for their relief, enough to sustain this number of men for three months, have been sent to Berne up to this time, and this authorized or der for 75 tons will insure their sus- tenance for an additional nine months, or will suffice for a larger number for a shorter period.
 Soldiers and sailors captured by the Central Powers are not provided by their captors with sufficient food to keep them in good health, nor with sufficient clothing, so these neces- sities must be provided from home, and in view of this condition, the American Red Cross and the United States government is preparing to feed all American soldiers and sailors who may be taken prisoners by Germany during the war. A complete scheme fer sustaining prisoners is now being worked out jointly by the War and Navy departments and the American Red Cross, which will be the agency through which the American prisoners will be reached.
