Then alio told him of one financial syn
dlcate of Mntinl Kurone that planned to
Invest $200,000,000 In American enter
prises before tho war ends.
"These human s(eel traps well itnow

Your uncle'n estate was marked for at

They paid well. Slgvay la a mercenary.
Where lie failed through your alertness,
others on like missions are succeeding.
Let America beware 1 Tho ghouls of
Uurope aro at work."
Crlspen looke'd up at her, and was
about to Interrupt, hut thought better of It.
"In tho opinion of theeo royal money
changers I would be considered a traitor,
a renegade," sho said, "but 1 have lived
10 years In the black depths of It! long
enough to realize that It Is they, not I,
who nra the traitors to tho country their
plotH havo robbed of Its manhood. Onco
I threatened my father I was going to
'opeak nut of those things and he beat
me like a dog, I waited for my time. It
has come."
Sho went on excitedly! "It's not right!
It's neither fair nor decent, and I won't
havo you think the German people arc the
cruel, Inhuman monsters they aro pictured.
They havo been duped, terribly duped, by
their rulers, acting foi(ho trado and colo
nial nxpanslon Interests, but German
hearts are as kind and their sentiments
as tender as, those of any race on earth.
Hemember, 'f am a German woman,"
There was a glint of tears In her eyes
as she said this, and Monte took her hand
with a compassionate gesture. He won
dered If she knew anything about the set
ting fire to tho Hoebllng plant at Trenton,
or any of tho many other mysterious, un
solved recent attacks upon American In
dustry. Ho asked tho question point
blank. "I cannot say who Is doing It," bIio
said, "except that there aro many groups
operating, nnd havo been for months. Uach
has its !7ro8scr-j7c&ot. The brains of the
alien secret services nro not alt at Wash
ington j they aro everywhere you find a
foreign bank, a foreign steamship com
pany, a foreign chemical house, a foreign
brewer or a foreign manufacturer that has
been pinched by the war. Each works to
his own Interest, Independent of the other.
Ambassadors nro front doors,) purpo3oly
kept spotless and clean. It Is not Micro the
schemes arc hatched, although their at-.
Inches aometlmes assist. Who made the
deadly gases used on tho German l'ront?
Why, tho great chemical houses of Ger
many. For whom does tho German Gov
ernment cry for the freedom of the seas?
N'ot for the people It Is for the banking
and Industrial barons."
Without pausing Zeda continued: "It
Is terrible, this silent progress of the
agents of these desperate Interests In the
United Stntcs. Your statesmen have so
far blinded themselves as to tho origin
of the blows that have fallen. These sin
ister Influences have poisoned members of
your Congress, and are each day blocking
your Internnl business. My father nnd
hla wretched band of tools was but a tnln
latuie of tho glgantlo network of Intrigue
that extends, out from tho cruel Industrial
and financial heart of Kurope. Oh I Well I
I mustn't scare you,"
Monte drew n deep breath, nnd Inwardly
resolved that he would put the whola situa
tion without dolay before his two friends
In the American Secret Servlco. In truth,
ho later did so, and found It was not news
to them.
Zcda's faco was alight with pleasure
as sho told him of her part In secreting tho
cryptjc cross (a copy of a code report from
Hochmelslcr to his European principals)
nmong the documents her cousin stole with
the black portmanteau! how Lemuel
tJIrdscye had been clay In the desperato
hands of her father, and tho arch-plotter
hnd mado a fortune "coppering" tho mar

olutions for tho Big Four labor meeting
had been actually drafted by Hochmelster
himself; how sho was the owner of the
discarded pair of slippers found by Agent
W. on tho ash heap of tho West Philadel
phia house.
"I havo been fighting for you, 6cl ami,
ever since that night on tho roof of the
Betlalrc-Hlltz," she said, with radiant eyes.
"I havo lied for you, I havo stolon for
you, I have suffored '
She slopped abruptly, nnd laughed
shamefacedly. "1 am getting silly. For

"Too damned clever," ejaculated Monte,
rising and releasing tho soft, pink hand
of the beautiful SCetla. "Au rcvoirl I
must run up to Philadelphia. You will
stay on hero?"
"Yes, tcl ami," she murmured, stifling
a sigh. "Do come down nnd see me soon."

HEART ON RIGHT SIDE,
OPERATION REVEALS
12-Year-Old Boy Has Organs
Reversed Hunt for
Appendix
Physicians at St. Mary's Hospital weio
given a number of surprises In tho case
of Warren Pearce, a 12-year-old boy, who
ras taken there suffering from appendi
citis. Unllko most youthful pationts. tho boy
arrived In a happy frame of mind and told
the doctors tn "get busy." Chlof Surgeon
Joseph Iloss Rtartcd to remove the appen
dix, but found no trace of It on the right
side of his body, where it should be. But
a clue to Its whereabouts was finally ob
tained and the recreant appendix was
found on the left.
Investigation proved that other organs
of tha youth's body were In sympathy
with tho appendix. They were also
wrong, geographically, according to the
rule of anatomy. Tho hoy's liver was on
the left sida instead of tho right, and his
heart was on the right side.
Despite their odd location, these organs
work properly and dally. "My heart Is
always on tho beat." said Pearce. "and
can be relied on to do Its work."
Last Wednesday tho boy, who lives at
1932 East York street, was taken ill with
cramps. He wanted to go to the hospital
at that tlmo, but as he recovered some
what tho trip was delayed until Friday.
He went cheerfully under tha knife on
getting there and smiled as he was mak
ing p. temporary exit under an anesthetic.
The youngster gladly parted with his
appendix on the condition that his heart
and liver would not ba disturbed, "They
stood by me all these years." ha said.
"So why not leave them alono."
Pearce Is of a jolly disposition and
one of the best players on a baseball team
of St. Boniface's School.

After tho small group of Methodists de
cided they wanted a place of worship they
purchased a little frame church from the
Presbyterians for $250. They also pur
chased a lot adjoining on St. John's street,
from which the church finally secured Its
name.
On May. 26. 1816, although the first
meeting had been held on October. 27,
1815, tha trustees decided to erect a brick
meeting house on St. John's street. The
dedication took place In 1817.'
As the congregation grew ln wealth the
small church could not accommodate the
congregation, and finally the present
structure was erected on 3d street, below
George, in 1860. Many noted preachers
have occupied the pulpit of St. John's In
its various vicissitudes.

"MY GOD? I'M BUND!" HE CRIES

Stricken on Street
NEW YORK. May 13 An old man,
shabbily dressed, stood: still In 44th street,
near 9th avenue, yesterday afternoon,
rubbed his eyes, groped for a moment,
then cried out In terror:
"My God! I'm blind I"
He, was Julius S. Silverman, 67. a book
keeper out of work and hunting a job.
Patrolman Murphy, of the West 47th

toward the nearest building, and caused
him to be taken to tha Polyclinic Hospital.

St. Louis Merchant's Wife
Travels From Spain In
spector Introduces Couple
k NEW YORK, May 13. She was tail,
graceful nnd pretty, ho short and stock
lly built, but not without many good looks.
Thoy had never seen or talked to each
other In their lives until they met aboard
the steamship Montevideo, of the Spanish
line, yesterday nfternon, nevertheless,
when Max Felstyner, an Immigration In
spector, Introduced them they embraced
nnd exchanged hisses.
The Rev. 'Father Fllipo Palomera, the
ship's chaplain, and half n doien nuns
traveling from Spain to Mexico, who were
present, npplaudcd these manifestations of
affection, so unusual between strangers,
nnd wished, them nil sorts of blessings nnd
happiness.
Why not? Jose fa Crespl tho tall,
graceful, pretty girl had romo from Bar
celona as n brldo by proxy. And the
young man who mnntfested such an In
terest In her was Juan Vila, n tobacco
merchnnt, of 4054 Pnge avenue, St. Louis,
her bridegroom by proxy.
"We first heard of each other through
mutual frIomK" said Mr. Vila. "They
described Sonorlta Crespl to mo as very
bcnutlfsfl and. very good and an excellent
houiewlfe, Iow they described me to her
I don't know, but It Is certnln that when
I wroto her she answered very politely,
and this encouraged me to write ngaln.
And so ln time we camo to think more
nnd moro of each other until I at last
proposed, and she accepted."
At this point tho brldo took up tho nar
rative and said:
"As a single woman I could not travel
alone. It Is not the custom of Spain. And,
on tho other hand, Mr. Vila found It Im
possible to take so much of his time from
his business to come over after me."
"So," said Father Palomera, Interrupt
ing tho bride, "I stepped In as a friend of
tho family and performed tho marriage
ceremony by proxy. That Is, Mr. Vila
was represented by his brother, who gave
nil the responses and pledges as If Mr.
Vila himself hnd been present. Tho mar
riage was certified to by a representative
of the Consul at Barcelona, and the mar
riage, ns far ns tho American side of it
was concerned, was certified to by the
Spanish Consul nt St. Louis."

Oysters, as n wholesome food, In proper
season, wero given a clean bill of henlth
today by Director Krusen, of tie Depart
ment of Health nnd Charities. Tho oys
ter has been blamed for tho recent out
break of typhoid fever nt Chestnut Hill,
but tho head of tho city's Health Depart
ment says that the blnmo has been wrong
ly placed.
During tho present week 22 now cases
of typhoid fever have been reported front
all sections of tho city. Of this numbcf,
six nre located In tho 22d Ward, where tho
mild epidemic has been most noted.
Deaths from typhoid fever" this week num
ber but three, and reports show that most
of tho patients In tho Chestnut Hill nnd
Germantown sections ore on the road to
recovery.
Speaking of the epidemic, Director
Krusen snldi "Wo havo been unable to
trace the cause of tho trouble. Many ar
ticles of food havo been carefully cx
nmlned, nnd oysters happened to be
among tho foodstuffs looked Into. I hard
ly bellevo oysters could have had anything
to do with the outbreak. Oysters nro a
well-known wholcsomo food, and especial
ly Is this tho case now that tho beds are
controlled nnd supervised by tho Govern
ment nnd State Oyster Commissions.
''I suppose tho fact thnt oysters were
In tho list of foods examined gave rise
to tho roport that they caused the out
break, Although the cause has not defi
nitely been determined, I do not think
that oysters were nt tho bottom of tha
trouble."
Dr. Joseph Flelstas, E910 Greene street,
Germantown, tho district Inspector for
the Board of Health, who Is conducting
tho Investigation, Is not certain about
oyBters playing nny part ln tho mild epi
demic, and tho claim that they wero nt tho
bottom of tho trouble comes from patients
and tho hospitals, which havo the cases.
