He wondered what this woman
would be were her jealousy given Sc
rious provocation, and shook his head
hopelessly.

you, Esther? If you are-and nothing
goes wrong-ri be there tomorrow
morning before breakfast
The earnestness and sincerity with
which he said this seemed to reassure
her. Besides she was beginning to
regret her outburst and was glad to
be quieted When after while she
left him there was in her heart only
a trace of doubt and a deep humilia-
ton. She was burning with shame for
having barred her most unlovely side
to the eyes of the man she loved.
In. a secluded corner Fitzhugh opened
the lunch and beneath the chicken
sandwiches and chocolate cake he
formd heavy file and a coil of rope.
He managed to conceal them in his
coat without detection.
When he retired it babe fair to be
a clear night, but before one o'clock
the moon was obscured by clouds, and
the muttering of distant thunder her
aided storm Although he had not
slept for the last forty hours he had
successfully battled the temptation to
close his eyes and was therefore
awake when the first shadow crossed
the moon. He hustled into his clothes,
stuck the file into a pocket, buttoned
the rope under his coat and felt his
way through the inky bIackness to a
western window. He slipped his legs
over the sill, gripped it with both
hands and lowered himself into the
black pit yawning ominously below.
He landed safely, and guided by the
forked streaks of lightning and ac-
companied by the rumble and crash of
giant thunder chords, he struck off
across the prairie through the driving
rain. made a detour and turned his
face toward Chicago.

Senior DOmiciO de Cana has represent
ed the big Brazilian republic since
1911, having seen much Of Washing
ton since 1903, when he was appointed
secretary of a special commission to
Washington in connection with the set
tlement of dispute between Brazil
and Argentina, in the Palmas territory
dispute. He has now been transferred
to London and he and his wife will be
missed in Washington.
In years gone by Germany made no
secret CT her desire and efforts to
cultivate a position of exceptional
friendliness and influence in Washing
ton. One of the methods used was the
choice of ambassadors with American
wives. Both the late Baron SpeclS Won
Sternburg and Count Won Bernstorff
married American women, and neither
Of them ever tired Of giving publicity
to the fact. Countess Won Bernstorff
was Miss Jeanne Luckemeyer of New
York. She was married to the Baron
in 1887. The Won Bernstorffs left
America, of course, when diplomatic
relations with Germany were severed.
Sir Auckland Geddes, the new Brit
ish ambassador, is recent recruit TO
diplomacy, and the idea of becoming
a diplomat had not entered his
thoughts when he married Miss Isa-
bella G. Ross of Staten Island In 1905.
He was at that time assistant profess
sor of anatomy at Edinburgh university,
where he was educated and won the
gold medal for anatomy. Lady Geddes,
who is the third daughter of the late
Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Ross, for many
years residents of Livingston, S. L..
was born at Dobbs Ferry. After her
marriage she lived first in Edinburgh
Later her husband became professor
of anatomy at the Royal College Of
Surgeons, Dublin, and a year before
the war took the same position at Nc
Gill university, Montreal, of which he
soon became principal. Sir Auckland's
hobby has always been military tactics.
He was a lieutenant in the Boer War
and in November, 1914, went to Eng
land to accept a commission as major
in the British forces. In short time
he received a staff appointment in
France, WHERE he was wounded and
invaded back to London.
Lady Geddes remained in Montreal
until her husbands appointment as
minister of national service, when she
joined him in London. She has a
sister, Mrs. Roger Houg,ton, and a
brother, Percy H. Ross, living on
Staten Island. Three sisters and a
brother live in England. Sir Auck-
land and Lady Geddes have five chill
dren-four sons and one daughter.
Anyone would suppose from the
foregoing that Lady Geddes was an
"American wife" But the Pail Mall
Gazette (London) says she is not an
American woman. 1t points out that
she is the daughter of W. A. Ross of
Belfast, who spent much of his life
in America but was never naturalized.

crumbling stone steps, passed under

AS the sun rose on the morning fol-

asylum 1t found Esther standing out
side that misfit door. She had been
there, internationally, since dawn.
Suddenly Fitzhugh turned the cor

sessing. His hat was gone, as was
his collar His hair was tousled and
matted. his face covered with a dark
growth of beard; his shoes and trOu-
sers were caked with mud, and as he
carried his coat under his arm his
shirt was seen to be little more
than rag which chung to him damply.
For two days and nights he had
not known sleep, and In the past five
hours he had tramped three times as
many miles. Only a constitution of
steel could have stood up under this,
but Fitzhugh had one. AS he turned
the corner and swung down the street
with vigorous strides he seemed far
from exhaustion.
The moment the woman saw him
all the love and pity and tenderness
of her emotional nature welled up
in her bosom, and with a little low
cry of my boy !"-more maternal

Givethe World Your Best

The way to success lies away from

wants sunshine. 1t also wants to think
that people it trusts are getting along

out when we want to impress people.

Everyone knows when he sees a flag

is to be expected, they "do it proud"
At the head of the foreign dipio-
matte corps stands The much-Deioveu
dean of them all, M. Jean Adrlen
ATONE Jules Jusserand, ambassador
from the French republic, who has
represented ia Belle France" unin-
terruptedly for the last eighteen years.
BY his side stands Nine. Jusserand, an
American woman. Who will deny that
she has been one Of the instrumentali-
ties in binding America and France
ever close through the greatest crisis
that ever confronted her adopted ma
ton? Nine. Jusscrand was before her
marriage Miss Eliza Richards, daugh-
ter of the late George I. Richards, of
New England, and one Of the founders
of the banking house of Munroe Co,
of Paris. Through her mother, born
Kernochan, she is related to the New
York family Of that name. OF bril-
liant intellect, madame has been OF
invaluable aid to her distinguished hus-
band in the many exacting duties that
have confronted him during nearly two
decades of service in Washington.
Next to Nine. ,Jusserand, the honor
of long residence goes to Mrs. w. A.
Ekengren, wife of the Swedish minis
ter. Her husband was first secretary
of the Swedish legation in 1905 and
then was appointed charge daffaires,
which position he filled until his ele-
walton to the Enthusiastically In April,
1912. Nine. Ekengren is a daughter
of New Jersey. Her father was the
brilliant lawyer, John p. Jackson, for
many years counsel for the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad. She was educated in
Paris and Dresden, and when it came
time to introduce her to society her
mother took a home in Washington.
There she was courted and wed by the
Swedish ambassador. Nine. Ekengren
is of real American descent. Her
mother came of the illustrious Gregory
family in New Jersey. Her great
grandfather was Major General Roger
Wolcott, first governor of Connecticut,
and further back in the family tree
stands Oliver Wolcott, signer of the
Declaration OF Independence.
Baroness Avezzano, wife of the new
Italian ambassador, is the ''baby"
member of the group. The baroness
was Miss Marie Jacqueline Taylor,
daughter of the late Amos Taylor,
who went from Kentucky to ST. Louis
more than forty years ago and made
q name and fortune for himself In the
field of law. Miss Taylor grew up in
st. Louis. She met Baron Avezzano
while he was serving as an attache Of
the Italian embassy under Baron Fava.
They were wed in 1901. After her
marriage the baroness spent most of
her time abroad The baron served
in virtually every large capital in Eu-
rope, and the baroness thoroughly
liked this life, that brought her in
contact with the peoples and customs
of many lands. She was particularly
happy at last when the baron was
sent to her own native land. She hopes
he will stay here a long time. The
Baron and Baroness Avezzano have
