CHAPTER VI.

THE escape of Nine. Storch from Petrograd
early in 1915 when the treason Of her
= victim, Colonel Miasayedof, was discov.
cred, as related last week, was one Of the most
dramatic episodes in the amazing career of this
fragile young Turkish beauty whose life was
dedicated to the sinister purposes Of Berlin.
For many months she had intrigued for Ger
many in the gay life of the Russian capital, bend
ing officers of the army and ministers of state to
her wicked will From the boudOir of the wife
of the Minister Of War she had purloined the Sc
erets of army organizations and campaign plans
which, finding their way to headquarters of Gen
eral Hindenburg, had made it possible for the
Prussian armies to find the weak spots in the
Russian advance. The Minister of War was put
in chains for life; Colonel Miasoyedoff was
hanged and lesser officers who had succumbed to
the wiles of Nine Storch were executed, as has
been previously told.
Nine Storch herself might have been caught
and her career ended there and then if she had
not been prematurely warned that her activities
az a spy were being disclosed.
Among those who had traded their loyalty to
Gar and country for the smiles of the charming
young woman who was so close friend of the
powerful Nine Soukhomlinoff wife of the Min
lister of War, was a gallant general on whose
breast shone the medals which marked him as
veteran of the war with Japan. This general
held post under the General Staff. He was in
close touch with those who had charge of the
purchase of war supplies and their transpOrta-
ton. He was in a position to send many car
loads Of ammunition which was badly needed at
at west front into the interior of the country,
20 the Caucasus, where it could mot be used
against the Germans.
Nine StOrch soon discovered his susceptibility
to the wiles of engaging young women, and
marked him as one of her own.
The general was fattered delighted capti-
waited. The pretty Nine. Nezie constantly de-
manded souvenirs of his affection for her. Such
souvenirs in Petrograd those days were custom
arily jewels The general was dependent almost
wholly upon his salary. He was sadly troubled
for the money with which to crafty the expen-
sive whimS of his fair charmer.
Nine. Storch reproached her admirer for his
troubles. There were ways, she said, that he
could follow toward fortunes large enough to
satisfy even her. Then it was that the Russian
officer learned that he could make Germany pay
MIN well for every train load of ammunition that
was "misdirected "-that is. shipped "by mis-

S. A. DESERVING OF
ALL HELP IT CAN GE1

It is so plain that the Salvation
Army should be provided with the
funds which ii asks for war welfare
work with The American troops mat
4 seems almost unnecessary to DIS
,uss the subject The mere asking
should be sufficient
Ottawa already has subscribed to
various other funds in full, but all the
needs have not been met, 1t is not
merely that the physical and splrlt'
tal needs Of our soldiers mus De
looked after in order that we may
ain the war; it is important also
that our soldiers who survive the war
ma come back home should return
rs good citizens and not cmDit;ered
toward our civilian population by rea"
son Of our negligence or nattoniion.
To perform the great work when
needs to be done, all the 0rganIZa-
tions in the field are necessary, ana
none more so han the Salvation
Army. It fills peculiar niche IN tho
war. Just as it has in civil lite More
oyer. It has ready-made an organiza'
lion admirably fitted to do this work
The fact has been proven abundantl!'
not only by the character OF WORK II
has. done. under our eyes IN DAYS OK
