It was the merest accident that Mar
Gus Blake became acquainted with
Nellie Powers, she preceded him leav-
ing a street car and he followed her.
A startled cry from her lips caused
him to notice the fairest face he had
ever gazed upon.
"Oh," she cried in vivid Distress

of my seat, and it held all I have in

She even started to pursue the car,
but Marcus checked her vain endeav-
or. "Quick," he said-where will
find you, if I recover the purse?"

curb and sprang into taxi.

shot out Marcus, and within three
minutes the driver pulled up at a
street crossing half a block ahead Of
the car, said Half a dollar" and d
moment later Marcus was aboard Of
the car that had led him his wild
chase. It held only one or two pas
sengers. Marcus traversed its length.
He scanned the window lodges but
they held no purse.

ward was the company OF Miss Pow
ers all the way down town.
A new interest in life began to ma
terialize for both the. devoted young
people. There was not day when
Blake did not carry into town some
reminder of the countryside early
wood violets, the first fruit blossoms
and the like Little Lester had but
one ardent hope; to get olt amid ma
ture, but the physician had told Nellie
that he must be near at hand where
he could come under medical care un-
til he was further convqlescent.
One day Nellie introduced Blake to
an old gentleman who lived In the
building and who dropped in occa:
sionally to cheer up little Lester. The
latter had quite a collection of arti'
cles Blake had donated, and from Mr.
Rossiter, who was placing suburban
subdivision on the market, Marcus re-
ceived a suggestion which he discus
sed with enthusiasm.
you have given me quite an idea,
Mr.. Blake he said, you are quite
In touch with nature, in fact directly
in the midst Of it. My office fronts a
street with many passersby and with
a window big enough to display mir
iature farm. I'll make it we'll worth
your while to fix up that window
daily with the developing beauties Of
nature on big scale, just as you have
on a small one for Lester here"
Thenceforward every day Blake
brought in further reminders Of
the coul.try He kept pace with
vegetation and added to the window
display from time to time, and intro.
duced so many novelties that the ad-
vertisement proved profitable one
to the energetic land man. Finally
that show window had all the attri-
butes of a miniature rural spot. even

ployed Blake permanently at a salary

earning " . = -, =. * 49, ''''s''s

"There's special room my mother
has fixed up for you"
"But what about NeIlie?" inquired
the little fellow.
"Oh! she is to come aISo-tO stay,
Lester" replied Blake. and Nellie
flushed with happiness as Marcus
glanced at her tenderIy, for the eve

share his pretty country home and his

marked. 1--WE had these cases be-
fore. You see, the window lets down
from the bottom and there is a big
space at the sill to allow its manipu-
lation. Instead of placing her purse
on the sill, the young lady probably
let it drop down the window Slide"
The conductor turned out a true
prophet. The purse was recovered
at the cost Of an hours time. Marcus
was gratified to appear at 232, which
proved to be a millinery store, and re-
ceive the thanks of Miss Powers.
"All my weeks pay and as much
more that I have saved Is In the
purse" she explained. Il need it all
to pay the doctor bill Of my little
brother, who is just recovering from
a long siege Of Illness" and although
the conversation was brief it resulted
in Blake ascertaining that Miss Pow

in two rooms, the kind-hearted land

Marcus lived in a suburb. Spring

PARIS. October 1S.-I have Just

streets of Paris for the first time
since the war began. On the Avenue
de la Bourdonnais, near the Champ
de Mars. / ran upon two slim young
German youths and fat unlovely

knowledged their nationality. They
belonged to the German peace deleea-
ton. which moved today from Yer
sailles to Paris. as the first step to-
ward re-establishing itself diplomati-
caily in the embassy here. However,
since public opinion is still delicate
about opening official relations with
the former enemy, the German diplo-
embassy building, in the Rue de Lille.
An attache of the delegation ex-
planned to me that this move was
caused simply by desire to draw
nearer the French departments with
which negotiations are still in prog
r I such as those for the repatria-
ton OF prisoners. reparation Of
damages. control of railroads and
distribution of coal.
Nothing has been changed in the
mission which we were conducting.

U. S. RED CROSS ASKED {
TO CARE FOR 100000
Danish Organization Unable to
Continue Supervision of Aus
trian Prisoners in Russia.

By the Associated Press.
VIENNA. October 1.-THE Danish
Red Cross, having notified the Aus
TRAN government that 1t can no
longer supervise the care OF Austrian
prisoners OF war in Russia and ST.
IBERIA. the Austrian government is
asking the American Red Cross &
look after these 100000 men,.
Supervise Three Camps.
The Americans are already super
vising three prison camps in Siberia
and reports received here from the
camps are so gratifying that the
hope is expressed that the request
will be considered favorably, as other
wise. IT is pointed out. these men will
virtually have to shift for them
selves. The Austrians hope all the
men scattered along the Trans-siberian
railway will be concentrated at Vladis-
yostok.
An effort is also being made to have
the entente open the western from
tiers of Russia. so the men can find
their way home before winter sets in.
700 Austrians Held in Serbia.
Seven hundred Austrians are still
held in Serbia. all other enemy pris
oners having been repatriated. The
Serbians refuse permission for the
Austrians to leave without orders
from Paris. which as yet have not
been forthcoming.
Hope for the great number OF Aus
trian prisoners held in Turkestan has
been almost abandoned. These pris-
oners originally numbered about
200.0 600. 1t is now reported that 10
per cent of the men have persisted
from disease or privation.
