 I'm sorry about that, OBrien," he rcturt"d, with Il show of apparent sin "rrlty. but that is something l cannot do"
 "If you don't give me back those papers at once" replied hotlY, "l will tak" steps to get them, and d-d oH.ck too"

CHAPTER XII.
The Forged Passport.

For obvious reasons, l cannot de scribe the man to whom I applied for the passport nor the house in which he lived. While, In view of what sub sequently happened, I would not be very much concerned If he got into trouble for having dealt with me, l realize that the hardships he had en- dured in common with the other in habitants of that conquered city may possibly have distorted his idea of right and justice. and l shall not de- liberately bring further disaster on him by revealing his identity.
 This man-w" will call him Huy name as it Is mne-wnS very kind to me on that memorable night when aroused him from his sleep and in n few words of explanation told him of my plight.
 He invited me inside. prepared some food for me and, putting on a dress ing gown, came and sat by me while I ate, listening with the greatest inter- est to the short account of my adven- lures.
 He could speak English tluently, and he interrupted me several times to ex- press his sympathy for the sufferings l had endured.
 "OBrien," he said, after I had con cluded my story, "I am going to help you. It may take several days-per- hunS as lpnp uS two week S-hut event ually we will provide the means to en-

 Huyligrr paled. We had no lights in the house. but "" were standing near landing at the time and the moonlight was streaming through n Stainrd-gluSS window.
 The Belgian turned on his heel and started to go down the stairs.
 Mind you" l called after him, "l shall wait for you till the city clock strikes twelve, and if you don't show up with those papers by that time. the next time you will see me Is when you confront me before the German au- thoritles. l am desperate man, lluy- Tiger, ..-i l mean every word l say

 The first thing to do. Huyliger told me. was to prepare passport.

FIRE RUINS DRUG STOCK.
Early Sunday Morning Fire Causes
Much Damage to Jno. Schim-
ming's, Stock.

Sunday morning about six O'Clock
smoke was discovered issuing from
the front of the Jno. G.. Schimming
drug store in the Finn building op-
posite the Citizens Savings Bank.
The fire was. discovered by Jack
Halse. He notified central at the
Standard Telephone Office, and told
her to notify Mr.. Schimming, which
was done. An alarm was Immediate
ly turned in and when the firemen
arrived there was an immense lot of
smoke to contend with, but they soon
got to where the blaze was and put
it out before much actual damage
was done by fire, smoke and
water causing the most, apparently
The blaze started, from all appear
ances in the basement in the front
part of the store. The flames broke
through the floor back of the large
soda fountain, cracking the big
plate mirror, burning the woodwork
around the fountain considerably,
nearly running it,
The fire did very. little damage in
the basement, burning a few joice.
On the main floor the only damage
by fire was to and around the soda
fountain. The stock was damaged
by smoke, though, which makes
Mr.. Schimming's loss heavy.
d. s. Benjamin, of Springfield, Ill.
an insurance adjuster, arrived yes
terday, and will adjust the loss for
Mr.. Schimming.
Chief Olson of the fire department
and his men did good work in get
ting the fire out as quick as they
did, and preventing loss to any other
adjoining buildings.
