The Woman on the Index" made
mighty free with the war. There came
a time, along about the middle of the
flrst act, when she held in her little
hand the fate ofythe Allied armies, the
tate of civilization and the decisions
of the Judgment Day. Would she
talter? She had to. If she didn't, she
would lose her husbands love, because
she didn't tell him before she mar
rled him." But what was husbands
love against the lives of millions and
the whole unfolding of time? She must
do her bit. SO she set about it.
What she hadn't told him before she
married him was that she was the only
really infallible member of the United
States Secret Service, and that, back
Of that, she had once been tried for
murder and found innocent.
She didn't dare to tell him. not onlv
because it would surely lose her his
love, but because it would lose him
his job. This job was to be Ambas-
sador to the Court of st. James, and
the point was not to let Washington
Ind out that its prize lady detective
was the wife of the scholar and gentle
man 1t had just appointed Ambassador
to England.
Then there were the papers. Mar
shall Foch had made a diagram of the
Great Offensive and sent it back to
Washington, possibly to be O KID At
any rate, the spy didn't make the trac-
ing of it till he had locked all the
doors of his hotel room in Washing
ton: And he was in fret to get it
back to Potsdam before the offensive
began There wasn't a moment to
lose. and there was trouble with his
passports.
Then came the throttling intrigue
The lady detective had to promise tc
go to Constantinople with the traitor
Gus Turk who was making the tracing
which lost her her husbands love
While the spy was double crossing the
lady and locking her in for the night
he gave the tracing, made in a fig Leaf
design, to his trusted Japanese valet.
Just as things were ut their worst
the head of the Secret Service and the
repcntant husband broke in the door
and the japanese valet turned out tc
be the Mikado or something, and q
letter from President Wilson was read
commencing the heroine's bravery.
There were other things, too. Ir

, The second family was headed by q
drunken father who used his earnings
for his own purposes and contributed
nothing to the support Of his family.
Ihere were seven children in the fam
lily. One of them, boy of sixteen.
earned 81 week; the mother earned
$26 month as an Office cleaner Three
boys out of the family the fund sent
away for vacations. Of the others, one
worked two were mere babies and
fourth had to be kept at home to care
FOR the babies while the mother
cleaned her Offices. This was an Irish
family.
After she had attended to the needs
of the children of this family the Wis
itor sent the mother to friend who
was superintendent of an office build
ing and secured for her place at SAP
a. month.
The third family was Jewish fam
ily,. consisting of mother and eight
children, the father having deserted
them three months before the young
est child was born. The whole income
OF the family was earned by a seven
teen-year-old daughter, who received
$40 week. The mother earns free
rent by serving as janitress Of the
house in which they live. Incidentally,
lhe mother is under observation by the
Presbyterian Hospital staff for some
trouble as yet unlocated
The Tribune Fund relieved this
mother of some work and anxiety by
sending one girl and three boys to the
country for two weeks.
The fourth family had been deserted
by German husband and father about
fourteen months before the fund heard
OF it. There were three children, whom
the mother supported by working in a
rooming house. Two Of the three boys
in the family the fund sent to the
country on Wednesday for fortnight
outings. The youngest could not be
taken from his mother.
The Tribune Fund needs money in
order to continue it's work of relief for
cases like these.

SEARCHING FOR DEAD
IN BIG FOREST FIRE
HUNDREDS OF MINNESOTANs
DRIVEN FROM HOMES.
Believed Death List viii
Reach Total Of Five
Hundred.

Moose Lake. Mimi. Oct. 14.-Men
and women Of the Moose Lake dis
trict OF Minnesota, driven by fire
from their homes. penniless, many Of
them wearing clothing furnished by
charitable relief workers, tonight
took Mp the search for their dead.
which throughout the burned sections
may total 1000.
Barred by the military authori-
ties from leaving the city, they wan
dered between long lines of bodies in
the improvised morgues mere, search
ing for loved ones who have not been
heard from since the forest fires laid
waste this section of Minnesota and
portion of Northern Wisconsin
four days ago. Motor trucks brought
in more and more bodies throughout
the night. During the past twenty
four hours the bodies of three hun
dred victims have been found in the
charred No Mans Land, which before
the fire formed the smiling shores of
Moose Lake and Kettle river. Adjt.
Gen. Rhinow tonight estimated that
the number of dead in the Moose Lake
and Kettle river regions alone might
reach 500. There are believed to be
nearly 500 dead in the adjoining re-
gions.
The forces of rescue workers will
be doubled tomorrow, Gen. Rheinow
said. Up to this time it has been i'm
possible to search the great acres of
farm land waste by the fire and that
search is expected to result in the
finding Of hundreds of victims. Many
persons also are believed to have been
drowned in lakes in which they took
refuge.
Rural residents, refugees. say were
given but moments warning be-
fore the fiery hurricane swept down
on them. A pail of smoke had hung
over the countryside for hours, and
a majority believed the holocaust to
be merely usual autumn fires.
Officials in charge of relief work
still are unable to make an accurate
estimate of the material damage. 1t
was said however that in this district
alone. fifty square miles had been
stripped clean Of timber, crops, live
stock and human habitation.
No further danger is anticipated,
although the conflagration continues
in isolated areas. Fires south and
southwest of Cass lake. driven by a
high wind were said to be gaining
tonight. with the city directly in the
path Of the flames. but it was be-
lievcd efforts of the fire fighters
would prevent the fire from attain
ing serious proportions.
