Fifteenth EPISODE
The Murderer at Bay.

Pierpont Stafford cherished his ma
jestic country place principally be-
cause it furnished him an ample SOL
itude. He could wander about it for
hours and never meet soul. II he
wanted company, there was room for
1t in the palace and in the formally
gardened grounds. And he could look
down on the tremendous peace Of the
Hudson river. admiring its strength as
one strong man does another, and COM
plimenting it on the efficiency with
which 1t did such big business with
so little fuss.
He asked few persons to visit him,
and those few only when the mood
moved him. In his everyday life as a
man of big affairs he met so many peO-
pie and was SO pointed out when he
walked the streets that he acquired a
kind Of shyness in his hours Of leisure.

BeIgians Reject KaiSer'S
SEPARATE Peace Offer

LONDON, Oct. 29.-La Metropole,
Belgian newspaper published here, says
a German attempt to separate the allies
has been defeated by Baron de Broque-
vile, Belgian foreign minister.
According to this newspaper, Germany
recently made a peace offer to Belgium.
La Metropole says the bearer Of
the peace proposal was a Belgian in
dustrial and financial magnate who
knew Foreign Minister de Broqueville
personally. He went to Paris through
Switzerland and asked for a meeting
with the minister who met him in a
Paris hotel. The emissary there said
he was commissioned by Baron Won der
Lancken, legal adviser of the German
government in Belgium, to propose that
semi-official Belgian and French dele
gates should meet German delegates in
Berne to lay down a basis for a last
ing peace.
The following preliminary conditions
were presented: Recognition of Belgian
independence indemnity for war eX-
penses, reparation for war destruction
according to the Belgian common law,
and convocation of a peace conference
at Brussels under the presidency Of
King Albert.
Baron de Broqueville, the newspaper
says, defeated this attempt to separate
the allies.
