Russia in Bad Mix-up

| With the Russian situation, the ad-
ministration has difficulty in COM
nunication, inasmuch as the Bolshe-
wiki control the main arteries out Of
Moscow and Petrograd. However, con-
stant news matter showing the Amer
lean viewpoint is being sent to Russia
via France, and is being distributed
as best it may The American MIL
itary attaches, apparently acting under
Ambassador Francis Individual in
structions have undertaken independ-
emit propaganda there, but apparently
with boomerang results.
Switzerland, hotbed of German
was being flooded with
evil tales about American intentions,
but this has been offset by an officiaY
communication to Switzerland showing
there will be no overrunning of Swiss
neutrality Meantime Rumania is be-
ing heartened by promises of Ameri-
can aid and actual contributions in |
he way of loans.

"All right" called Edwina as she
went out.
1t was showing a little-just little,
tight, floating flakes like tiny feathers.
Inside the kitchen it had been warm
md cozy, with a delicious smell of
mince meat, fresh cookies and apples.
Outside it was cold, and the singing
snowflakes made her cheeks tingle.
What can l do for you, Edwina?"
asked Mr.. Smith.
Il want pair of slippers-for a

slippers, but she said nothing until
Mr.. Smith showed her a very large
pair of flowered slippers.
How good old Santa would enjoy
those comfortable slippers!
"Will Il cents be enough?" asked
Edwina. anXiously.
"Ho, no, ho!" laughed Mr.. Smith.
Twelve cents? No, Edwina The
price Of these slippers is So"
'I-guess | won't take them," fall
tered Edwina as she left the store
Edwina hurried away from Smiths
store and went to q little 10 cent store.
Here were all sorts of things she could
buy with her money, but it was hard
to choose something Santa Claus might
like. There were books-such nice
stories, too. One in particular, called
PATTY and Her Pitcher" was so de-
llghtful that Edwina was sure Santa
Claus would like it. SO she paid 10
cents for that, and with the remaining
cents she bought two sticks of red
and white striped candy.
When she showed these things to
her father and mother they did not
even smile, but they said they were
sure Santa Claus would be pleased.

CHAPTER IV.-Continued.

Leaping to his feet, he hurled his
shoulder against the door. Herr Skopf
was a heavy man. The frail door col
Iapsed beneath his weight, and Herr
Skopf stumbled precipitately into the
room.
Before him lay the greatest mystery
of his life. Upon the floor at his feet
was the dead body of strange man.
The neck was broken and the Jugular
severed as by the fangs of a Wlld
beast. The old lady and her grand
son were gone. The window was open.
They must have disappeared through
the window, for the door had been
locked from the inside.
But how could the boy have carried
his invalid grandmother from a sec
ond story window to the ground? 1t
was preposterous. Again Herr Skopf
searched the small room. lie noticed
that the bed was pulled well away
from the wall. Why? He looked be-
meath it again for the third or fourth
time. The two were gone, and yet his
Judgment told him that the old lady
could not have gone without porters
to carry her down as they had Carried
her up the previous day.
! Further search but deepened the
mystery. All the clothing of the two
was still in the room. If they had gone
they they must have gone naked or in
their night clothes.
. No boat had left the harbor in the
meantime. There was not railroad
within hundreds Of miles. There was
no other white settlement that the two
could reach under several days of ar
duous marching, accompanied by a
well equipped safari. They had sim
ply vanished into thin air, for the ma
tive he had sent to inspect the ground
beneath the open window had just re-
turned to report that there was no
sign of a footstep there, and what sort
of creatures were they who could have
dropped that distance to the soft turf
without leaving spoor?
Herr Skopf shuddered. Yes, it was
u great mystery. There was some
thing uncanny about the whole thing.
He hated to think about it, and he
dreaded the coming of night.
1t was. a great mystery to Herr
Skopf and doubtless still is.

Of evergreen, and that kept the wind
and snow out.
It was very lonesome in the hollow
tree. Somewhere an owl was hooting,
and again he heard some four-footed
animal (perhaps fox) go pat-patting
over the snow. He was not exactly
frightened, but it surely was very lone
some.
Sometimes he slept and dreamed of
his nice warm home, and he thought
of his good, kind parents and how
worried they would be, and he re-
