"You work too much anyway" said
the King of the Clouds. 'Let me look

Aliy SItsffs Ready to Flee.

Washington, Feb. 25.-More than
$50 Americans at Petrograd, among
whom are thirty women, are ready to
fee from the city to escape capture
by the German columns advancing to-
ward the city.
Forty-five of the Americans at
Petrograd are attaches Of the diplo-
matte and consular STATS.
The arrangements for the safety of
the Americans are entirely in the
hands of the American ambassador,
David R. Francis. to whom the state
department has left all questions of
leaving the capital or, If necessary,
the country.
1t is assumed that all the nationals
of the co-belligerent governments will
leave the city with the allied diplo-
matists, although Mr.. Francis has as
yet sent no report of detailed prepara-
tions made to take them away. The
number Of French and British at Pet
rograd is larger than the American
total
1t is taken for granted that the
American ambassador and the allied
representatives will retreat to what
ever place in the interior the Bolshe-
Wiki will select for their government
headquarters.
The latest despatch from Mr..
Francis was dated February II. In
it he reported Leon TrOtZky, the Boil
shevik foreign minister, as saying
that he did not expect the city to be
occupied at an early date by the Ger
mans because he had been promised
that he would get eight days notice.
Such notice had not been received at
the time Mr.. Francis fleS his des-
patch.

too, about the living room that made for
Its attraction. One felt intuitively that
real people lived here.
There were some tall red roses In a
green pottery jug on the big, old-fash-
ioned table which was strewn with
magazines. The big davenport was up
holstered in chintz and inexpensive
chintz at that. and Mrs. Raymond her
self wore a straight blue serge skirt and
frilly white blouse. When she rose TO
meet Ruth, she looked like girl.

took the girls hands And then as she
looked closer. she added slowly, Ruth

Ruth smiled and nodded, and sudden
tears rushed to her eyes She turned
away ashamed of the excess Of emotion.
What on earth was she acting like this
for? What was there to cry about?
And then, before sne knew II, she
was sitting beside Mrs Raymond and
they were chatting like old friends Pres
emily they had tea and little cakes. and
Ruth told Mrs. Raymond all about the
new work. After little the talk
switched to Scott and Ruth chartered
as inconsequentially as she could about
everything pertaining to Scott. She per
ceived after a time that Mrs. Raymond
was looking at her pointedly, and sud
denly conversation stopped and Ruth
looked inuuiringly back at Mrs. Ray
mond and waited for her to speak. And
she did speak

Mrs Raymond nodded.
What do you know?"

But what about him."
Ruths heart was racing madly, and
Raymond know anything more than she
herself knew? Was it possible that
Helen had been mistaken when she had
tclephoned that morning. and had Mrs.
Raymond known all along?
Some one called me up not fifteen
minutes after you did this morning. and
asked me If knew" She explained.
"Oh, no." Ruth protested, who could
do a thing like that"
