JUST GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE
'Affair at Jenkintown Last Week Was Very Suc
cessfulDrill to Be Held in Chestnut Hill
on July 4 Other Subjects
MONSIEUR DE SADELEER, the Bel
gian Minister of State, and who was
former president of tho House of Rep
nientatlves of Belgium, and his charm
Ing daughter. Mademoiselle do Sadeleer,
arrived In this city on Saturday and
have been the guests of Mr. and Mrs.
Bayard Henry at their Germantown
home In Walnut lane for the week-end.
jt was Monsieur de Sadeleer, you remem
ber, who King Albert sent over to this
country In September of 1014 at the head
of the commission which came to present
to the President of the United States the
account of the Invasion of Belgium.
Monsieur do Sadeleer Is a most charm
ing man, and It Is to be hoped ho will be
In this city long enough for some of us
to meet him and hear what he has to
My on the subject of his bravo little
country.
REALIT. you ought to have gone out
to Dr. and Mrs. Henry Middleton
Fisher's placo on Thursday or Friday of
last week for tho bazaar and country
house sale which was held there. The
Fisher's place, Alvethorpe, Is a beautiful
spot In Jonkintown, and was an Ideal set
ting for the bright-colored aprons and
hats which were worn by the aides, who
were here, there and everywhere.
There was everything for sale, from
chickens (winged ones, of course) and
butter down to porch furniture and fancy
work.
The flowers, I think, were especially
lovely They were given to the cause by
the John Newbolds and the John Peppers,
whose estates are very near the Fishers,
and who robbed their hothouses of their
loveliest blooms.
Mary Frances Fisher was there helping
her mother In doing tho honors, and
equally, of course, she was being con
gratulated on all sides by every one she
met. You know her engagement to Jimmy
Drinker was announced about two weeks
ago, and so It was a dandy opportunity to
wish her well. The Red Cross was rp
resented by a booth, and one of tho women
confided to me that they had gotten three
life members In one afternoon. And
that Is doing something, my dears; quite
a tidy little sum. In fact, for life mem
bership means a subscription of seventy
five plunks.
Of course I did not hear just what they
made, but I'm convinced It was worth
While and keeping it up for two days
Wa$ a help. I haven't told you what
It was for yet, but, of course, it had to do
with the war. Everything has these
days, but this particular sale was for the
Jenkintown Branch of the Emergency
Aid, of which Mrs. Fisher Is chairman.
I AM so sorry to hear of Henry "Walton
Jr's illness. He and his brother have
Joined, the First City Troop, and, of
course, with the other members, camp
out every week-end on the old Merlon
Golf Club links in Haverford; but young
Walton was attacked with very severe
pain on Friday morning, and tho doctor
discovered an acute caso of appendicitis.
He vvas rushed into the Medico-Chlrurgl-cal
Hospital and was operated on by Dr.
Ernest La Place, and I am glad to say
all Is well; but, of course, it will be many
a day before he Is fit to Join tho Troopers
on their weekly trip, and if they go to
the Philippines In August, as some seem
to expect, I doubt if he will be considered
strong enough to go by the examining
medical men, and that will mean much
to him, I am sure, for these men all want
to do something for their country, even
if it Is only sweltering In tho Philippines.
fnHE signers of the Declaration of In
dependence had nothing on the Homo
Defense Guard In Chestnut Hill for pa
triotism, let me tell you. And on July 4,
the Chestnut Hlllers are going to prove
It to you by drilling pretty nigh all aft
ernoon. All brothers, sweethearts, hus
bands and fathers will display to the ad-
, miring crowd all they know about han
dling a gun in the appioved manner and
winging "column right," "present arms"
and all the rest of it.
And the ladies! Oh, yes, the ladles are
thrilled to pieces over It. In fact, they
are so excited they can talk of nothing
else, and all plans for tho Fourth are
toaae around this afternoon event.
No doubt there will be no end of
motors and carriages lined up to see tho
excitement, and I hear there Is to be a
buffet supper afterward at the Phlladel
Phla Cricket Club, and Informal dancing
will finish the evening for those who aro
not too footsore and weary after tho
strenuous afternoon's work.
OPEAKING of this patriotism at Chest-
nut Hill, don't let yourselves think for
a minute that Chestnut Hill Is the only
pot where all tho manly specimens
within the precincts are drilling. Not a
bit of it! Nearer town, at Germantown,
things are stirring every Sunday morn
le, and it's no longer possible to linger
over grapefruit and the morning paper.
No, Indeed, the men hustle into their
khaki uniforms, and those who have
them mount their champing steeds, too,
and beat it up to St. Martins. It's true
that some go to St. Martins, but others
tay and drill in Manhelm. Last week
the Germantown minute men marched
UP to Join the Chestnut Hill cavalry and
inrantry, mid they mt at the field on
the corner of McCallum street and Mount
Airy. The Mayor came on horseback
Mid reviewed the troops, and the ad
jutant. William W. Adams, Jr.. read
Moud the names of men who were to
receive commissions, and the band played
the "Star Spangled Banner." and every
body was as excited and pa'trlotio aa pos
sible. Mp

which had made It impossible for her

"PRIENDS of young Mrs Gustavus B.

for the funeral. The young couple's mar

April. Mr. Fletcher Is tho son of Mrs.
Georgo Alfred Fletcher, of Radnor.
MR. AND MRS. FRANCIS I. GOWEN
spent the week-end up at Fort
Niagara, seeing tho various young men
they aro Interested in, who are studying
at tho officers' camp there. Frazer Har
rison, who married their elder daughter,
Alison Gowen, Is there, I understand.
Mariana, who Is onS of tho most popular
members of tho Chestnut Hill younger
bet, will return this week from Virginia,
where she has been visiting.
IT WAS a waim evening and the car
was stuffy, you know, and the poor
lady's motor must havo been out of order,
for Bhe had to get Into the trolley, and
It was late, mind you, that Is after B,
when tho trolley chasers sit side by each
without cnougli room to squeeze a piece
of paper between them.
Anyway, In she got and sat down, ar.3
did not seem to mind this mixing with
the rest of tho woild; but, my dears, at
Seventeenth street In got a woman with
a broad-brimmed hat, from tho crown of
which feathery quills piojected way out
beyond tho edge.
When sho first sat down pio feathers
were even with the eye of tho "aristo
crat," but sho dodged to find that the
owner of tho hat suddenly bent her head
and landed tho back feather into her
mouth. As sho evaded swallowing It a
front feather tickled the tip of her nose.
And so it was all tho way up to Twenty
first streot, tho owner of tho feathers per
fectly oblivious to tho discomfort sho was
giving and the sufferer growing more and
more perturbed.
Now tho sufferer was certainly tried
beyond her strength, and I don't blame
her a bit for what she said as she
finally struggled to her feet preparatory
to leaving tho car. It was only that
she was so well groomed and evi
dently so distinctly a lady that tho "re
mark she mado filled the hat owner with
consternation and caused the rest of the
car riders, nil of whom had been highly
entertained by the duel, to almost "pass
out." "Well," said she, "will you ever
keep that d n hat quiet?" and hastily
made her exit. NANCY WYNNE.

Mrs. Homer T. Macgregor Had
Elaborate Affair for Hospital
and Ether Fund
Women who aro always "doing their bit,"
war or no war, are asking themselves how
they can do more. How can thev? Well,
they can for they do For Instance, women
whose particular interest Is in the Charity
Hospital at 1731 Vine street, agreed that
thev would raise a special summer emer
gency fund by giving a social entertainment
of some kind One of theso women thought
she would like to glvo a muslcale, but to hire
a hill would mean an unjustifiable out
lay of time, strength and money
An apartment at best Is too email for the
numerous guests expected, and so last Friday
evening tho large porch of the apartment
of Mrs Homer T. Macgregor. at 5111 Ho
gent 6treet, was hung with Japanese lan
terns There were as many chairs as the
porch would hold and for ' eats' a large bowl
of Iced lemon punch A Uttle girl stood at the

The artists who kindly offered to entertain
were in the living room They were Mr
Lester Eyre, baritone; Mrs Ruth Kennedy
Cross, soprano; Miss Oladvs Corey, at the
piano, and Master Aleck 'VVisheo. violinist
After the agreed sum Is given to tho hos

CHAPTER n (Continued)
H
E SAW now that to every van was har
nessed a pair of horses, their heads
deep In nose bags, while men in the uniform
of the Commissariat Corps were grouped
around an officer who was reading orders
The vans were sheeted in black tarpaulins
With German attention to detail, their des
tination, contents and particular allotment
were Btenclled on tho coverB in white paint ;
"Llegee, baggage and fodder, cavalry divl
slon, Seventh Armv Corps" He learned
subsequently that this deiinlte legend ap
peared on front and rear and on both sides.
Thinking quickly, he decided that tho
burly person whoso outer garments he was
now wearing had probably been taking a
short cut to tho station entrance when he
received the surprise of his life Somewhat
higher up on the right, therefore, Dalroy
went back to tho narrow pavement close to
the wall, and saw some sollders coming
through a doorway a little ahead He made
for this, growled a husky "Good morning"
to a sentry stationed thero, entered, and
mounted a staircase. Soon he found him
self on the main platform; ho actually
ti.iKspd a sergeant and some Bavarian sol
diers, bent on recapturing the escaped pris
oner, rushing wildly for the same stairs.
None paid heed to him as ho lumbered
along, swinging his lamp.
A small crowd of ofllccrs, among them the
youthful prlnco In tho silver Plekel-haubo.
had collected near tho broken window and
now open door of tho waiting room from
which the "spy" had vanished. Within was
tho fat lieutenant of reserves, gesticulating
Uolently at a pallid sentry.
Tho prince was laughing. "He can't get
away," ho was saying "A bold rascal. He
must bo quieted with a bayonet-thrust.
That's the best way to Inoculate an Eng"'.i
man with German Kultur "
Of course this stroke of rare wit evoked
much mirth. Meanwhile, Dalroy was turn
ing the key in tho lock which held Irene
Beresford In safe keeping until Von Halwlg
had discharged certain pressing duties aa a
staff ofilcer.
The girl, who was Beated, gave him a
terrified glanco when he entered, but
dropped her eyes Immediately until she
became aware that this rough-looking visi
tor was altering tho key. Dalroy then
reallzod by her staitled movement that his
appearance had brought fresh terror to an
already overburdened heart. Hitherto, so
absorbed waa he in his project, he had not
given a thought to tho fact that he would
offer a sinister apparition.
"Don't scream, or cnango your position.
Miss Beresford," ho said qulely in English
"It Is I, Captain Dalroy. Wo have a thanco
of escape. Will you take the risk?"
The answer came, brokenly It Is true,
but with tho girl's very soul in the words.
"Thank God!" sho murmured. "Risk' I
would sacrifice ten lives, if I had them,
rather than remain here."
Somehow, that was the sort of answer
Dalroy expected from her. She sought no
explanation of his bizarre and extraordinary
garb. It was all-sufficient for her that he
should havo come back. She trusted him
Implicitly, and the low, earnost words
thrilled him to the core.
He Saw through tho window that no one
was paying any attention to this apart
ment Possibly, the only people who knew
that It contained an Englishwoman as a
prisoner were Von Halwlg nnd the Infuri
ated lieutenant of reserves.
JumDlng on to a chair, Dalroy promntly
L twisted an electric bulb out of its socket.
and plunged the room in semldarkness,
which ha Increased by hiding the hand'lamp
In the folds of his blouse. Given time, no
doubt, a dim light would be borrowed from
the platform and the' windows overlooking'
the square; In tho sudden gloom, however,
the two could hardly distinguish each other
"I have contrived to escape, in a sense,"
said Dalroy; "but I could not bear the
notion of leaving you to your fate. You
can either stop here and take your chance
or come with me. If we are caught to
gether a second time these brutes will show
you no mercy. -m me oiner nana, Dy re
maining, you may be fairly well treated,
and even sent home soon."
Ha deemed himself In honor bound to
put what seemed then a reasonable alterna
tive before her. He did truly believe, in
that hour, that Germany might, Indeed,
wage war Inflexibly, but with clean hands,
as befitted a nation which prided Itself on
Us Ideals and warrior spirit. He was des
tined soon to be enlightened as to the
true significance of the Kultur which a
jack-boot philosophy offers to the rest of
the world,
But Irene Beresford's womanly Intuition
dloi not err. One baleful gleam from Von
Halwlg's ey had given her a glimpse of
Infernal depths to which Dalroy was blind
as yet. "Not only will I come with youi
but if you havo a pistol or a knlfn t
bnWre you to kill ma before X am capture

Dalroy unlocked the door, and looked out.
To tho right and In front tho platform was
nearly empty On ti e left the group of
omcers was crowding Into tho waiting room,
since some hint of unfathomable mystery
I'ad been wafted up from the Bavarians
in the courtyard, nnd the slim young prince,
curious as a street lounger, had gone to
the window to Investigate.
Dalroy stood In tho doorway "Pull down
your veil, turn to the right, and keep close
to tho wall,' ho said. "Don't run! Don't
even huny ! If I seem to lag behind, speak
sharply to mo In German."
She obeyed without hesitation. They had
reached tho end of tho covered-ln portion
of tho station when n. sentry barred the
way Ho brought his rifle with fixed
bavonet to tho "engage
"It Ir forbidden," ho said.
"What Is forbUld.-ii?" grinned Dalroy
amiably, clipping his syllables, and speaking
iu mo ruugnesi voice ne coma assume.
"You cannot pass this way."
"Good ! Then I can ro home, tn bed
That will be better than cleaning engines. '
Fortunately, a Bavarian regiment was de
tailed for duty at Alx-la-Chapello that
night; the sentry knew where the engine
sheds were situated no more than Dalroy.
rurthor, ho was nrt familiar with the
Aachen accent.
"Oh. is that It?" ho Inquired.
"Yes. Look at my cap '"
Dalroy held up the lantern. Tho official
lettering was evidently convincing.
"But what about tho lady'"
"She's my wife If you'ro hero in half
an hour she'll bring you some coffee. One
doesn't leave a young wife, at home with
so many soldiers nbout "
"Jf juu both stand chattering here neither
of you will get any coffee,' put in Irene
emphatically.
The Bavarian lowered his rifle "I'm re
lleved at 2 o'clock," he said with a laugh.
"Loso no time, schoenu Trau. There won't
bo much coffee on the road to Ltcge."
The girl pasred on. but Dalroy lingered.
"Is that where you're going?" he asked.
"Yes -We're duo In Paris In three weeks."
"Lucky dog!"
"Hans, are you coming, or shall I go on
alono' demanded Irene
"Farewell, comrade, for a little ten min
utes, growled Dalroy, and he followed.
ah tmpiy train stood in a bay on the
right, and Dalroy espied a window cleaner's
.auuer in n corner. "Where are you going,
woman? ' bo cried
His "wife" was walking down the main
platform which ended against the wall of a
!:iBinaL.m '."'. and thero mlKht be msuper
ablo difficulties in that direction
Isn't this the easiest way?" she snapped
les, if j ou want to get run over."
" Ithoiit waiting for her, ho turned, shoul
dered tho ladder, nnd mado for a platform
on tho inner side of tho bay. A ten-foot
wall Indicated tho station's boundary. Ireno
ran after hltn. Within a few yards they
were hidden by the train from the sentry's
sight
"That wis clever of you " she whispered
breathlessly.
"Speak Gorman, even when you think
wo aio alone," he commanded.
Tho platform curved sharply, and the
train was a long one When they neared the
engine they saw three men standing there.
Dalroy at once wrapped th lamp in a fold
of his blouse, and leaped into the black
shadow cast by tho wall, which lay athwart
the flood of moonlight pouring into the open
part of the station Quick to take the cue.
It being suicidal to think of bamboozling
local railway ofllclals. Irno followed. Kick
ing off the clumsy sabots, Dalroy bade his
companion pick them up, ran back some
thirty yard-, and placed tho ladder a?aint
the wall Mounting swiftly, he found, to
his great relief, that some sheds with low
pitched roofs, wero ranged beneath ; other
wise, the height of the wall, if added to
the elevation of the station generally abovo
the external ground level, might well have
proved disastrous,
"Up you come." he said, seating himself
astride the coping-stones, and holding the
top of the ladder
Irene was soon perched there, too. Ho
pulled up the ladder, and lowered it to a
roof.
"Now, jou grab hard in case It slips,"
ho said
Disdaining tho rungs, no slid down He
had hardly gathered his poiso before the

him a smart tap on the head.
"Those men "' she gasped. "They saw
me. and shouted "
Dalroy imagined that the trio near the
engine must have noted the swinging lan
tern and Its sudden disappearance. With
the Instant decision born of polo and pig
sticking In India, he elected now not to es
eay the slanting roof Just where they stood
Shouldering the ladder again, he made off
toward a strip of shadow which seemed to
indicate the end of a somewhat higher shed.
He was right. Irene followed, and they
crouched there In panting silence.
Nearly every German is a gymnast, and
it was no surprise to Dalroy when one
of their pursuers mounted on the shoulders
of a friend and gained the top of the wall
"There's nothing to be eeen here," he an
nounced after a brief survey
The pair beneath must have answered,
because he went on, evidently In reply!
"Oh, I saw it myself. And I'm sure there,
was some one up here. There's a sentry
on No. B. Bun, Fritz, and ask him If a
man with a lantern has passed recently. I'll
mount guard till you return."
Happily a train aproached and, in the re.
sultant din, Dalroy was enabled to scramble
down the roof unheard.
The ladder Just reached the ground; so
before Fritz and the sentry began to sus
pect that some trickery was afoot in that
part of the station, the two fugitives were
speeding through a dark lane hemmed In by
warehouses. At the first opportunity Dal
roy extinguished the lantern Then he be
thought him of hit companion's appearance.
He halted suddenly era, they entered
lighted thorougware.

seen walking through tha streets with a
ruffian like me at 1 o'clock in the morning.
For answer the girl took oft her hat and
tore away a cluster of rosea and a co
quettlsh bow of ribbon. Then she discarded
her Jacket, which she adjusted loosely
across her shoulders. . .
"Now I ought to look raffish enough for
anything," she said cheerfully.
Singularly enough, her confidence raised
again In Dalroy's mind a lurking doubt
which the success thus far achieved had not
wholly stilled.
"My candid advice to you now, Miss
Beresford, Is that you leae me," he said.
"You will come to no harm In the main
streets, and you speak German so well that
you should have little difficulty In reaching
the Dutch frontier Once In Holland you
can travel to Brussels by way of Antwerp.
I believe England has declared war against
fJermanv The hebavlor of Von Halwlg and
those other Prussians Is most convincing on
that point If so"
"Does my presence Imperil you. Captain
Dalroy'" she broke In She could have said
nothing more unwise, nothing so subtly cal
culated to stir a mans priae
"No," he answered shortly
"Why, then, are you so anxious to get rid
of me, after risking your life to save me a
few minutes ago?"
"I am going straight into Belgium. I
deem it my duty. I may pick up informa
tion of the utmost military alue."
"Then I go into Belgium too, unless you
positively refuso to be bothered with my
company. I simply must reach my sister
without a moment of unnecessary delay.
And is it really sensible to stand here argu
ing so close to the station?"
They went on without another word. Dal
roy w-as ruffled by tho suggestion that ho
might bo eetklng his own safety Trust any
woman to find the Joint in any man's armor
whin It suits her purpose
Aix-la-Chapelle was more awake on that
Wednesdav morning at 1 o'clock tnan on
any ordinary day at the same hour in tho
afternoon The streets wero alive with ex
cited people, the taverns and smaller shops
open, tho main avenues crammed with tor
rents of troops streaming westward Regi
mental bands struck up martial airs as
column after column debouched from the
various stations. When the musicians
paused for sheer lack of breath the soldiers
bawled "Deutschland. Deutschland. uber
alles" or "Die Wacht am Rhine" at the top
of their voices The uproar was as the
Germans love to say. colossal The en
thusiasm was colossal, too. Alx-la-Cha-nelle
might have been celebrating a great
national festival It seemed ludicrous to
regard the community as In the throes of
war Tho populace, the officers, even the
heavy-Jowied peasants who formed the ma
jority of the regiments then hurrying to the
front, seemed to be intoxicated with Joy.
Dalroy was surprised at first He was not
prepared for the savage exultation with
which German militarism leaped to its long-dreamed-of
task of conquering Europe
Irene Beresford. momentarily more alive
than he to the exigencies of their position,
bought a common shawl at a shop In a side
street and threw away her tattered hat
with a careless laugh She was an excel
lent actress The woman who had served
her had not the remotest notion that this
bright-eyed girl belonged to the hated Eng
lish race.
The Incident brought back Dalroy's va
gTom thoughts from German methods of
mak nc war to the serious ousiness wmen
was his own particular concern The shop
was only a couple of doors removed from
tho Franz Strausse; ho waited for Irene
at the corner, buying some cheap cigars and
a box of matches at a tobacconist s kiosk
He still retained the lantern, which lent a
touch of character. The carriage-cleaner's
breeches were wide and loose at the ankles,
and concealed his boots Between the sabots
and his own heels he had added some
Inches to his height, so he could look easily
over the heads of the crowd ; he was watch
ing the passing of a battery of artillery
when an open automobile was Jerked to a
standstill directly In front of him. In tho
car was seated Von Halwlg.
That sprig of Prussian nobility was in a
mighty hurry, but even he dared not in
terfere too actively with troops in motion,
so. to pass the time, as it were, he rolled
his eyes in anger at the crowd on the pave
ment. It was Just possible that Irene might
appear Inopportunely, so Dalroy rejoined
her. and led her to the opposite side of the
cross street, where a wagon and horses
hid her from the guardsman's sharp eyes
Thus it happened that chance again took
the wanderers under her wing.
A short, thick-set Walloon had emptied
a glass of schnapps at the counter of a
small drinking bar which opened on to the
street, and was bidding the landlady fare
well "I must be off." he said. "I have to be In
Vise by daybreak. This cursed war has
kept mo here a whole day. Who Is fighting
who, I'd like to know?"
"Vise"' guffawed a man seated at the
bar. "You'll never get there. The army
won't let you pass "
"That's the armv 'a affair, not mine," was
the typically riemlsh answer, and the other
came out, mounted the wagon, chirped to
his horses and made away
Dalroy was able to note the name on a
small board affixed to tho side of the
vehicle. "Henri Joos, miller. Vise"
"That fellow lives In Belgulm " he whis
pered to Irene, who had dropped the shawl
over her head and neck and now carried the
Jacket rolled Into a bundle "He is Just
the sort of dogged countryman who will
tackle and overcome all obstacles. I fancy
ho Is carrying oats to a mill and will be
known to the frontier officials. Shall we
bargain with him for a lift?"
"It sounds the very thing," agreed the
girl.
In their eagerness neither took the pre
caution of buying something to eat They
overtook the wagon before It pasted the
market The driver was not Joos, but Joos's
man. He was quite ready to earn a few
francs, or marks he did not care which
by conveying a couple of passengers to tho
placid little town of whose mere existence
the wide world outside Belgium was un
aware until that awful first week of Au
gust. 1914.
And so it came to pass that Dalroy and
his protege passed out of Aix-la-Chapelle
without let or hindrance, because the driver,
spurred to an effort of the Imagination by
promise of largesse, described Irene to the
customs men as Henri Joos's niece and Dal
rov as one deputed by the railway to seo
that a belated assignment of oats was duly
delivered to the miller.
Neither rural Germany nor rural Bel
glum was yet really at war. The monstrous
shadow had darkened the chancelleries, but
It was hardly perceptible to the common
people Moreover, how could red-fanged
war affect a remote place like Vise? The
notion waB nonsensical. Even Dalroy al
lowed himself to assure his companion that
there was now a reasonable prospect of
reaching Belgian soil without incurring real
danger Yet. in truth, he wAs taking her
to an inferno, of which the like is scarce
known to history- The gate which opened
at the customs barrier gave access ap
parently to a good road leading through
an undulating country. In sober truth, it
led to an earthly hell.

First Blood
THOUGH none of the three In the wagon
might even hazard a guess at the tre
mendous facts, the German wolf had al
ready made his spring and been foiled. Not
only had he missed his real quarry, France,
he had also broken nls fangs on the
tough armor of Liege. Tneso things Dalroy
and Irene Beresford were to learn soon.
The first Intimation that the Belgian army
had met and actually fought some portion
of the Invading host came before dawn.
The road to Vise ran nearly parallel with,
but some miles north of, the main artery
between Alx-la-Chapelte and Liege. During
the small hours of tho night It held a
locust flight of German cavalry. Squadron
after squadron, mostly Vhlans, trotted, past
the slow-moving cart; but Joos's man.
Maertz, If stolid and heavy-wltted. had
the sense to pull well out of the way of
these hurrying troopers : beyond evoking an
oocaslonal curse, he was not Ssolested.
