What the literal translati0ns were
she had not the least idea, but she
did know that they were code-names
belonging to IA free-iance organization
known only to the War Office and the
Secret Service in Washington.
She had heard of this little band.
but never, until last night, had her
path and theirs crossed. This organ
ization was composed, with one eX-
ception, of young men, educated, well
horn. daring and reckless beyond be
lief-in other words, spies who indi-
vidually performed as many wonders
for their cause as she performed for
hers.
And for weeks they had been here
in Richmond, stealing its hearts

the daring to permit her to carry away
these code-names Was IL because
their work here was really done and
that they would now scatter and keep
scattered until the war was at an
end?
Only one face she had seen, but
she would remember that-ah. she
would remembe: that until she died.
Eleven men against one woman
so be it! She took up the gauntlet:
and woe to them!
One by one would she track them
down, ruthless, without mercy. They
had trampled her pride in dust
Knocked her; so would she trample up
on their honor and mock them.
Not for nothing had she been given
beauty and facile tongue. She
placed the paper in the bosom of her
dress, rose and went down to b-eak-
fast, smiling. She had the strength to
do that.
Jeanne Beaufort was the daughter
of Lawrence Beaufort, "A wealthy Vir-
ginia tobacco-planter. There were
five in the family: Beaufort, his
spinster sister, his two boys and the
girl.
The mother had been dead since
Jeanne's youth.
Father and sister took care of her
mind. and the brothers saw to it that
she should be sane in body also. She
sang and played delightfully."-; her wit
was nimble, in argument she was
wise; and her brothers taught her
how to walk through forest without
cracking twig, to break and tame
fiery thoroughbreds, to shoot, swim.

The plantation was like hundreds
of its kind: enormous yeranda-pillars
and rambling wings and French win
dows. Below, on the river brim, was
clean little gathering of cabins for
the plantation slaves.
Upon the peace and plenty of this
happy little duchy fell the thunder
bolt of war Beaufort accepted.a col
onelcy in a local regiment, and the
boys sought glory under Pickett.
When the news came to Jeanne
that her father had fallen at Manas-
sas and that his beloved body had
been buried there, her grief had been
terrible. The death of her two broth
ers at Cemetery Hill left her outward
ly unmoved. She did not close the
piano; she did not wear mourning;
and when the spinster-aunt mildly re-
monstrated with this conduct, which
she said was lacking in reverence to
the dead, the girl whirled upon her

10000 SHANSIS.
ARE ROUTED
Nv international News service


PICKING, Oct. 14.-Eighty
thousand Shansi soldiers, members
of the army that tried to drive into
Picking from the northwest, have
been cut off by Marshal Chang
Tso Lin's troops and are wander
ing through the hills at the mercy
of the Pekingese forces, it was
announced today by a spokesman
for Dictator Marshal Chang.
The spokesman said that the
Shansi soldiers cannot make their
way back into their home province,
because the railway line has been
cut, and that they face annihila-
ton or capture by the Pekingese.
Residents of this city-native
and foreign-are calm in the face
of fighting that has been raging
around it.
Americans and other foreigners
are holding the regular autumn
horse races. Today, as the races
are being run, the duh rumble of
artillery fire could be heard to the
south. Although it proclaimed
battle close to the capital, the
foreign residents made their bets
and cheered the winners of the
races with no thought of danger.
The official spokesman for
Marshal Chang explained that the
bombardment was taking place at
Chochow. where an artillery attack
was being made against scattered
groups OF Shansi soldiers. The
severity of the cannonading was
shown by the fact that although
Chochow is thirty miles from this
city. the sound of the Smelling was
plainly audible here.

ROME, June 13.-Five hundred
thousand textile workers have ac-
cepted a forced cut of 10 per cent in
wages, beginning the 1st of June. To
offset this new blow to the Italian
workers, reductions in the retail
prices of certain staple articles, aver

nounced; and to counterfeit this harsh
treatment of the masters, the Confed-
Grafton of Industries is recommend

On March 31st. there were 28s,000
workers in Italy, totally unemployed,
more than double the number for the
previous year.
The continued rise of the Ira is

rates, and business continues de-
