his sketches. very promising and
brilliant in color. In the style Of
Kossak. the great modern Polish
painter. whom. of course. the
younger school adore. There
are two Kossaks. father and son.
and II was the younger who
visited America. where he made
such a happy impression end sold
so many Of his pictures.
1t was just after this. on his
way to the ticket office to buy
his ticket from Warsaw a few days
in advance. II possible. that
Flambeau missed his passport and
letter Of credit Where were they?
He did not know. They had alb
solutely disappeared. swallowed
up in the Unknown Of Warsaw. a
city reported to be full Of thieves
and pickpockets. but not SO by
any manner Of means, from
Flambeau's experience there.
Then came a frantic effort to
follow every possible clue to the
missing indispensables. FOR with.
out them how could he proceed on
his journey. how could he go to
Latvia, how could he get into
Russia? They were not to be
found. and 1t seemed In the next
few days that every visitor he
had knew of Flambeau's plight,
that the citizens Of Warsaw must
read very carefully their favorite
"Kurjer Warsawski." even the
advertising. because they all came
and sympathized with Flambeau.
In fact, he had to comfort some
of them and beg them not to
worry. because it was only his
own fault and not theirs, especially
so did he find it necessary to re-
assure his anxious guide and the
trembling porter at the Hotel
Savoy, who marveled at their mad
American.
Meanwhile, Flambeau continued
his art "conversaZioni." while the
mystery Of the lost passport pre-

lands) and letter Of credit deep
ened, since no one returned them
to the hotel. as had been the
hope at first.
MEETS CHARMING PEOPLE.
Charming people came to his
hotel to see him. invited him
to luncheon, to their studios,
and for sightseeing excursions
in Warsaw. 1t would have
been gala visit for F1am-
beau but for the cloud hanging
over him. However. he accepted
the invitations. one by one,
lunched with Madame Feficyjia
zajowska, a Polish painter Of
landscapes and still life. who
wishes to exhibit her work in
America, also to come there, be.
cause she feels that. women IN
the United States have far more
freedom and happiness than IN
Poland.
Madame Czajkowska's agent. an
agreeable young man, was a Rus.
sian refugee who had sampled
Russian prison life. and he shook
his head over the proposed trip tc
Russia. He explained to Madame.
But take q German visa on
your passport, and also wear n
Red Cross badge" they urged him.
One Of her pretty sketches Of a
sunset scene near Warsaw, Ma
dame Czajkowska gave Flambeau
as a souvenir. and she promised
to visit America very soon. The
delicious luncheon included Rus
sian tea, with ''citrone," lemon.
