"Safe?"

"Ah!" said Elinor, and bent toward

An Irishman employed in large

permission and seemed likely to lose
his job in consequence. When asked
by his foreman the next day why he
had not turned up the day before, he

''How was 1t, then, Pat, that I saw
you pass the factory on your bicycle

CENTRAL EMPIRES
REPLY To Pope
GERMAN AND AUSTRIAN RULERS
ASSURE POPE BENEDICT OF
THEIR WISH FOR PEACE.
Kaiser Asserts He Regards II His
Sacred Task to Preserve Blessings
of Peace to the WorId-charIes
Believes Peace Will Come.

Amsterdam.--The German govern
ment In its reply to the peace note of
Pope Benedict, copy of which has
been received here, "cherishes live
ly desire" that the appeal may meet
with success.
Emperor william, the German note
says, has been following the efforts of
the pope toward peace for consider
able time with high respect.
The reply adds that the effort of the
pope to pave the way to an understand
ing might most surely be reckoned to
have a sympathetic reception from and
the whole-hearted support Of the Ger
man emperor, since he has regarded 1t
as his principal and most sacred task
to preserve the blessings of peace for
the German people and the world.
Peace would come from the recent
proposals of Pope Benedict if the bel
ligerent nations would enter into ne
gotlations in the sense of the pontiffs
suggestions, Emperor Charles of Aus
tria-Hungary says in his reply to tue
vatican note.
The emperor sees in the pope's peace
plan a suitable basis for starting nego-
tiations towards just and lasting
peace and expresses the hope that the
nations opposing his own may be ami
mated by the same idea.
Freedom of the seas is one of the
peace hopes of Emperor Charles, in
order that heavy material burdens
could be taken from the nations of the
earth and new sources of prosperity
opened TO them.
The reply. received here in a dispatch
from Vienna, was handed to Monsig-
nor It. Valfre eli Bonzo, the papalnun-

GERMANS STIRRED UP TROUBLE.
Furnished Money to Arm Draft oppo-
nents in Oklahoma.

Enid, Okla.-Money procured from
agents of the German government and
disbursed through headquarters Of the
Industrial Workers of the World at
Chicago, was used to purchase arms,
ammunition and supplies for the
Working Glass union, Zones family"
and about forty kindred organizations
with membership of approximately
100000, according to testimony in
federal court here in the trial of eleven
alleged draft resisters from Pottawa-
tonne and Cleveland counties.
J. G. Holmes, who said he was a
government agent, testified that he
had Joined the Working Glass union
in Pottawatomie county last May on
the advice of recruiting officer.
Officers high in the councils Of the
Working Glass union, Holmes said,
told members of the organization that
through the l. w. w. and affiliated
bodies draft resisters would be plenti-
fully supplied with arms and ammuni-
ton purchased with German money.

Ward found himself dismissed, and,
rather dazed, went down the steps to
the road. But one thing he carried
with him down the hill that night:
II watch your window very often"
The reverend Mr.. Ward left his light
on all OF that night, SO fearful was he
that she might look for it, and not find
It.
And while IL burned, under the very
shadow of Saint Jude's once more the
vault In the basement room at the hall
swung open to Elinor's practiced fin
gers.
The village rang with the news of
the outrage the next day. No one had
been hurt. but jewels of large value
had been taken.
To Hun and the others, the raid had
been practically failure. There had
been less than q thousand dollars In
money-not enough to begin negotia-
lions for Boroday's freedom. 1t began
to look as though the dangerous busl-
ness Of selling some of Elinor's jewels
would shaye to be resorted to. Leth-
bridge was willing to undertake 1t, try
Ing London first and then Paris.
Elinor offered all the diamonds. If
she must keep part, she would keep
the pearls. Talbot sorted out the
stones to be sold, but left them with
her for safety. She had never cared
for her jewels. They were not half
so lovely as her fiowers-and she part
ed from them without pang. But
there was one pink pear-shaped pearl
that had come in the night before, that
she would have rather liked to wear.
On Monday afternoon Ward called
on Elinor. The memory of that short
meeting in the garden had been with
him ever since. There was a new light
In his eyes, but she greeted him de-
murely, although she flushed with
pleasure.
