Americans in France
Make Fine Impression.

Our American soldiers have certainly
made a splendid impression upon the
French people according to u letter re-
ceived by Professor Henry Haxos of
the State University from a young
Partisan lady. = The following is Il
translation of the letter:
War will be over this year with
the help of our american and British
allies who are all of them endowed
with an extraordinary courage. Ev-
erybody in Paris speaks of them with
uncomfortable enthusiasm and happi-
ness. They all risk their lives with a
surprising GOODNESS and forbcarance.
We Frenchmen are 80 happy to have
all these noble and fearless hearts as
companions In arms.

will return to Paris which they all love
SO well. American soldiers are popu-

wonder. They are so gentlemanly.
courteous and kind. There is in them
something charming and pleasing.
They also have a way of talking which
appeals greatly to women. We are

tie furnished apartment in the North
west section, off Pennsylvania avenue,
and he had found the desert more com,

One night he felt at the end of his
powers. That was after a grilling day
in the war Office, one Of those days
that sometimes come in Washington
toward the middle of September, when
everything is as sticky as the asphalt
sidewalks.
1t had been day Of evil portent be-
sides. Colonel Howard, who had
seemed of late to reflect Eleanor's
GOODNESS in some measure, had greeted
him with wry face when he came in.

"The Brigadier's wild about it," con-
tinued the Colonel, pulling at his mus
tache. "And it seems impossible to
detect how the leakage occurred. 1t
must have been through the shipping
companies, of course; yet they couldn't
have pieced the thing together without
concerted action, which is out of the
question. Let's go through the pa
pers."
They opened the safe and went
through them one by one, but nothing
was missing.

at the end of his powers.
1t was early, he had dined and was
sitting disconsolately in his apartment;
nothing seemed of any value to him at
that moment, and his thoughts were
rcnging round their eternal subject.
Had it been necessary that he should

meaning to pay them visit, or, at

TO Jne 0ance..
Kellerman caught Marks eyes across
the room. He looked straight back
with a meaning challenge which was
unmistakable. Mark knew at that
moment that his antipathy to Keller
man had returned, although he was in
clined to believe the other was not
aware it had ever existed.
Kellerman was a splendid figure,
even in his civilian evening clothes.
Fully six feet tall, with the chest and
limbs of an athlete, ford, with crisp
black hair and a sense of the posses
sion of power, he looked at least five

quet in Cuba. Mark remembered it
across the lapse of years, and into his
mind there began to filter, too, stray
stories about him.
Mark did not judge him by these,
but by the intuition which sent cold
wave to his heart as he saw him with
Eleanor. 1t seemed to him that Keller
mans look, as he turned to the girl,
was one of intentional cOnquest-in
another man it might have been called
infatuation; and the girl knew it and
was happy in it.
The bitterness of that moment was

Mark and asked him to take her to

He brought her a plate and sat be-

said Mark. 81 suppose it's-because

"You are not the least bit like what

In his jealousy he was conscious Of

is finally won over to the cause
of liberty by the love of beau
tif.ll girl, d it is during the
last raid of this great dirigible,
when word is received by wire
