once or twice. using an adjective Pc
culiarly English.
For him my story had but one moral
the treason of Henry =. Tobias, Jr.
The treasure might as well have had
no existence, so far as he was con-
Cerned, and the grim climax in the
cave drew nothing from him but pre-
occupied nod. And John Saunders
was little more satisfactory. Both of
them allowed me to end in silence.
They both seemed to be thinking
deeply.
II must say you two are great au-
dience." I said presently, perhaps
rather childishly nettled.
ITS a very serious matter said
John Saunders, and realized that 1t
was not my crony but the secretary to

TEUTONS' YANKEE
WIVES HELPLESS
May Not Regain Fortune
Seized Here Under Alien
Enemy Law.

= WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-There Is no
relief for American heiresses who mar.
ried foreign titles In the Central EN-
pires and who have become impsounous
because of the seizure of the American
sources Of their income by the Allen
Property Custodian. number OF such
fortunes were taken over by the Alien
Property Custodian soon after the dec,
laration Of war and under the Law they
must be held Notwithstanding the fact
that the helresses were American cu-
Gems.
Under the laws of this and other couh.
tries q woman marrying outside OF hsr
own nationality becomes a citizen of the
husbands nation.
Consequently American girls who
married titled German. Austrian or
Hungarian noblemen are in the eyes Of
the law citizens of Germany, Austria or
Hungary, as the case may be. Under
such circumstances they are alien en-.
emies within the purview of the Alien
Property Custodian.
Oficials here were interested to-day
In the story of Karl H. Won Wiegand
the star correspondent of THE Sun In
Berlin, of suffering of certain American
heiresses who were In or had fed from
the Central Empires. They said the sit
uation OF these women had been con-
sidered in the past, but that the law
was unacceptable.
1t was stated to-day that there ara
only three alternatives for these women
to employ II they wish to secure pos.
session of their incomes or their sources
Of income in this country They must
either kill of OF divorce their husbands
or have the husbands became American
citizens. Entry of the husbands into
this country to become citizens would
probably meet with some difficulty how
ever, as the United States is still tech
nically in a state OF war. Consequently
the alternatives narrow to two, that to
tho average person do not lock very In
teresting.
1t was explained by an official Of the
Alien Property Custodian's office to-day
that any heiress or other person who
