Woman Snffrage in Spaln.

The woman suffrage movement
is moving down upon the Spanish
speaking women. And word comes
that the next annual meeting of
the International Woman Suffrage
Alliance may be held upon invita-
tiol n Madrid. Spain, and proba-
abb April, 1920
WI. Tho complete suffrage the
achievemer in Scandinavia and
the British empire and almost an
achievement in America, the fair
skinned women of the world are
virtually enfranchised. The com
plete victory OF woman suffrage in
Italy mas already been reported
The only opposition left in France
is Of a perfunctOry nature. So the
field Of conquest is now in old
Spain and new-in the Spanish
peninsula and in Spanish America.
For the latter purpose a pan-Amer-
lean woman suffrage conference to
take place a. Buenos Aires in 1872
has already been announced. The
conference at Madrid will be one
of the worldwide suffragists-the
first since the war.

 Lieutenant Travers had been noti- fled by Isabel Harrington, to whom he was betrothed, that her father would be away from home that day and asked him to come to see her. She was waiting for him and seing him ap- proach signaled him that he might come to the house without risk. Ty- ing his horse to hitching post at the gate, he went up the walk

 "So you said in your letter when suggested your coming. Well, we will not discuss that matter = may at least enjoy your visit"
 "Is your father expected to return soon?" asked the young man.
 "I don't know; why do you ask?"
 Tt would have been impossible for me to come from New York to your house so near Washington's headQuar- ters in uniform without meeting rebel troops. You see I am in citizens dress. If captured clothed as I am, l would be condemned and hung as a spy."/
 The girl shuddered.
 A moment later from her seat be- side a window she espied her father and a man whom she recognized as

 "His excellency," said Harrington. "and I are here for conference. We will go into my den for the purpose. Then in different tone, "But Isabel, what is the matter with you?"
 The girl was so frightened that she trembled. Washington. who suspected from the visitors refined appearance that he. was Tory, if not British officer, said to him:

 "If information concerning our forces were found on you. sir, it would prove the case against you. But if such information were not found on you, that would not exonerate you"
 The matter was embarrassing for the general. Travers had been caught in MT. Harrington's house, a visitor to Miss Harrington, whose father was patriot, friend of Washington's, and aiding in every way within his power the cause of the colonies.
 "Give me your word of honor sir, not to leave this place." said the gen. eral. "I will withdraw to another room with Mir. Harrington and when l return will announce my intentions in regard to you"
 Do not consider me or my daughter in this matter, general" interposed Mir. Harrington.
 "In that case" said the general, "I consider it my duty to send for a de- tachment to take your guest into GUS tody."
 At this Isabel broke down. Drop ping on her knees before the general she begged him to permit her lover to depart. Washington's heart was touched by her appeal, but this did not prevent his doing his duty.
 "Have you any proof" he asked, "that this gentleman Is not here for military information?"
