Well, to return to Sophie, who Is tho
L subject of this tale, she sailed' this week.
and will work in tho hospitals In Krnncp.
She Is a proficient French schnini , Having
itudled in Paris for several years before
the made her debut. The French blood
of the Borles seems to have given an
my twist to her tongue. Not that tho
Borles have lived in France In her gen
nation, or top that matter. In her
Bother's.
As a matter of fact, Mr. John J. Boric,
ho as Sophie's great-grandfather,
came here to Philadelphia as quite n
young man. He was a well-known im
porter and lived for some tlmo In this
city. He married Mls3 Sophlo Beauvcau,
tv tMnt dauchtcr of Monsieur nnd
f - m.M. 1Innln,, T?nn 1 1 l-JVI 11 ATr.
Beauveau, her husband having died during
the Insurrection of Martinique. 'had been
eblljed'to fly with her five daughters
from that Island, not even saving tho
one trunk they had managed to pack.
Arrived here, the bravo little woman,
with what money she had been able to
bring irlth her (sewed in her girdle and
In those of her elder daughters), opened a
tmaJI house and served meals to a nura-
1 ber of young Frenchmen who were en
gaged In business In this city.
. Among them was Mr. Borio, who fell
h In love with Sophie. Captain Ralnoidl
I married her daughter Emllle, a Mr. Out-
?. Via,-, rviqt-rlail QmannB ni,l PInrrn T.nills
I Laguerenne married the elder of the
to, twins, Eliza. Her sister Maria never mar-
tied. Mr Ralnoidl and Mr. Gulbert wero
lost at sea, but the Borles and Laguer
nnes lived In Philadelphia and brought
up largo families of chtldrcn, bomo of
whom are still living In and near the city
cf Brotherly Love.
It's very Interesting to follow up these
Sold families, Is it not? For instance,
Bophle Norrls's grandfather, Mr. John
K Borle, had a sister Emllle, who married
General Henry Bohlen, who wns killed
here In the Civil War. Their daughter
Sophie (how the old namo Is kept in the
family) married Baron Halbach, and their
on Adolph, known hero as Taffy. ' mar
ried Bertha Krupp, the elder daughter
Cf the man who owned tho famous gun
works, and sho and her sister are now
the Joint owners of the works at Essen,
Which report told us several days ago had

It's a small world, after nil, is It not?
And fortunately we are nono of us re
iponslble for our relations. Still, Taffy
kd some head when ho married tho
richest woman in the world, didn't ho?
And then they did not know they were

Another sister of Mr.-John Borie. Maria.
Carried an Englishman, Mr. Leach, and

MISS SAR-MI FRANKLIN
Miss Franklin is nn attractive
member of tho younger set. Sho
made her debut last year nt a
tea civen by her parents.
rnun "Sammcos" who aro stationed on
bridges and railroad tracks "anywhere
In America" may bo yearning to glvo
their addresses as "Somewhcro in
France." hut their guarding Is nono tho
less watchful.
Some of them stationed on a brldgo be
tween Wtlghtsvlllo nnd Columbia, on tho
Lincoln Hlghuny, hailed a peacefully
touilng- automobile tho. other day nnd
gavo the command to halt, whllo they
searched tho car. Tho bewildered occu
pants obeyed ordcr3 and looked on with
amused smiles while tho soldiers searched
nnd searched nnd searched and finally
emerged In triumph with a pound of
peanuts! Tho Joke and possibly tho
peanuts was heartily enjoyed by tho
travelers nnd tho "hold-up men."
btn
MUCH has been done for tho enter
tainment of tho soldiers nnd marines
at tho navy yard, and rightly, too. How
ever, wo havo "In our midst" somo men
of tho Pennsylvania National Guard who
nro strangers in tho city and thcy'ro
lonely, too.
Some of tho members of tho Hunting
don Vnlley Club found this out nnd gavo
them a Jolly tlmo of It last night. Thero
wero motor rides through tho beautiful
suburbs of which wo aro all so proud,
then a rattling good dinner nnd a gener
ally "good tlmo was had by all." 1 hopo
this will be a spur to other "gentlemen
of lelsuro and abundant means" to follow
In the train of tho Huntingdon "Valley
era." I'M GLAD to seo that tho powers that
bo havo decided to allow tho dogs of At
lantic City to play around on tho beach
with their owners. Half tho Joy of tho
bathing hour is wntchlng tho dogs swim
out nfter sticks or balls or imaginary
things, nnd then como "laughing" and
panting back again to dry In the warm
sun. Whnt harm could they possibly do
the lambs beyond, perhaps, soiling a
fresh white skirt with eager, welcoming
but very snndy paws?
But then when you go to Atlantic City
you expect to get a llttlo snndy. Mrs.
Elllston Perot Is down thero now, and
they tell me her health has Improved
very much. Mrs. Glyndon Prlestman
and Miss Kershaw are also at tho city
by tho sea, and Mrs. Georgo Brown Is
another Germantowner who is enjoying
tho freshness of Atlantic City's breezes.
AMONG other persons who nro going or
ihave gone awny aro Mr. and Mra. B.
S. Howard-Smith, who havo gone In
their car for a trip to Bass Bocks, Mass.
Etlse's brother Logan married Amolla
Douglas recently, and they aro living
out in tho WlsEahlckon. Hopo McMlch
ael and Mrs. Henry Brown aro at Wlntor
Harbor, and tho Jacob Dlsstons, with all
their fnmlly. nro nt their homo In North
cast Harbor. Tho Russell Johnsons havo
gono to York Harbor for tho summer,
nnd Mr. and Mrs. John Holton, of Chest
nut Hill, will BO soon to Lako Sunapeo.
Isabel Stoughton Foster nnd her hus
band havo flnlshod their wedding trip
and aro living in Boston. It will soem
mighty queer next winter not to seo
Isabel at all the parties, won't It?
JOHN, aged fourteen, but with much
military training to his credit and
much chest to tho fore, went to call on a
charming young maiden recently whoso
mother was away, nnd who regalod him
and his chum with accounts of her at
fairs with men of nineteen. The maiden
was about sixteen, and was muchly im
pressed with tho idea of love, as ono is
at sweet slxteon.
John was telling of lt afterward to his
sister, and remarked, "She told mo Just
how a man of nineteen told her of his
emotions." "What," said sister, "emo
tions!" "Oh! yes, you know he told her
the way he felt, I suppose," said four
teen years.
NOW the latest wedding date to be an
nounced is Mary Mlrkll's. She came
out two years ago, you know, and her
engagement to Ned Rogers was an
nounced in June. They nro to be married
on August 4 at the MUkll's country place
in Wyncote. $'ed la the son of Mrs. John
I. Rogers. The Rogers live in Wyncote
in the summer and at 2201 St. James
place in winter.
Mary Is very pretty and attractive. She
went to Miss Irwin's, as most PhlladeV

good time, lnc her debut Ned is at the

CHAPTER XI (Continued)
MlTTItY safer In Huy than here, or any-
VV where rise where theso brutes mny
bo"'
"Huy hns been occupied by tho Germans
since tho 12th. and ts their temporary
headquarters. From what 1 gather, they
usually hparo such towns. That is why we
never dreamed of Andcnno being sacked "
Palro remembered tho aged cure's expo
sition of Kultur as a policy "Is this sort
of thing going on generally, then?" ha
asked
Monsieur Pochard was a Frenchman. Ho
raised his eyebrows "Where can you havo
been, monsieur, not to know what has hap
pened nt Liege, Vise. Flcmelle Grande.
Blngny Trembleur. nnd a score of other
plnces'" , .
"Vise." broke In the cracked, piping volco
of Joos "What's that about Vine?"
"It is burnt to the ground, and nearly all
the Inhabitants killed "
"Is nnthlng raid of a fat major named
Husch. whom Henri Joos the miller struck
with a fork?"
"A Prussian, do you mean?
"Ay One of tho same hreed a Wcst
phnllan "
yi haven't heard "
"He tried to assault my daughter, so
I got him. Tho second one, a Uhlan, killed
my wife, and I got him too. I cut his
n,.Mi down there in tho main street. It's
ensy to kill Germans. They'ro soft.

Though Joos's half-demented
boasting
did not
was higniy injuuicioun, imuu
interfere. Ho -ai In a mood to let matters
drift They could not well do worse, no
had tried to control the course of events In
so far as they affected his own and Irene
Hcresford's fortunes, but had fnllcd lament
ably. Now, fate must take charge.
Pochard's comment was to tho point, at
nny rate. "I congratulate you, monsieur,"
he said. "I'll do a bit In that lino myself
when this little one Ih lodged with his aunt
In Huy If every Belgian accounts for two
Prussians, you'll hold them till tho French
and English Join up."
"Do you know for certain where tho
English aro" put In Dalroy eagerly.
"Yes, at Charlerol The French are In
Namur. Come with me to Huy A few
days, nnd the sales Albochea will be pelting
back to the nhlne."
For the second time Dalroy heard a
slang epithet new to him applied to the
Germans. He little guessed how familiar
the abbreviated French form of the word
would become In his ears Briton, French
man, Slav, and Italian havo cordially
adopted "llocho" ns n. sultahlo term for the
common enemy lt has no meaning, et
conveys a Bensa of contemptuous dislike.
Stricken France had no heart for humor
In 1S70 Tho merciless foe was then a
"Prussian", in 1914 he becamo a "Boche."
and the change held a comforting signifi
cance. Dalroy. of course, did not share the
Frenchman's opinion as to the speiriy dis
comfiture of tho Invader, but night was fall
ing, the offer of shelter was too good to be
refused. Nevertheless, he was careful to
reveal a real difficulty. "Unfortunately,
we have a dead woman In the cart," he said.
"Madame Stauwaert. too, is ill, but she
has recovered from a fainting (It, I see."
"Ah poor Stauwaert." murmured the
other. "A decent fellow. 1 saw them kill
him. And that's his wife, of course. I
didn't recognize her beforo
Dalroy was relieved to And that the
Frenchman and the bereaved woman were
friends. He had not forgotten tha priest's
statement that there would bo a spy In
every group In that part of Belgium Later
he ascertained that Monsieur Pochard was
a well-to-do leather merchant In Andepno,
who, like many others, refused to abandon
a long-establlahd business for fear of the
Germans ; doubtless he was destined to pay
a heavy price for his tenacity ere the war
ended. .He behaved now as a true. Samari
tan! Urging an Immediate move and prom
lilng even to arrange for Madame Joos's
burial. Dalroy helped him to carry the
child, a three-year-old boy, who was very
sleepy and peevish, and did not understand
why he should not be at home and In bed.
Joos suffered them to lead him where
they listed, He walked by tha side of tha
cart and told "Lisa" how he had dealt with
the VMan Leontlne sobbed afresh and
tried to stop him. but he grew quite angry.
"Why shouldn't she know?" be snapped.
"It Is her affair and mine. You screamed
and turned away, but I hacked at him till
his windpipe hissed."

man's ghoulish Jabbering, the sobs of the
women, the panting of two exhausted dogs
and the walling of the child, who wanted
his father's arms around him rather than
a strangers, supplied a tragic chorus which
111 beguiled that Via Dolorosa along the
heights of the Meuse.
Irene insisted on taking the boy for a
time, and the youngster ceased his plaint
at once.
"That s n blessed relief," she confided to
Dalroy "I'm not aflltcted with nerves, but
this poor little chap's crying was more than
I could bear"
"He is too heavy that you should carry
him far," ho protested.
"You're cry much of a man. Arthur,"
she said quietly "You don't realize, I sup
pose, that nature gives us women strong
arms for this very purpose "
"I hadn't thought of that. The fact Is,
I'm worried I havo a doubt at the back
of my head that wo ought to be going the
other way."
"Which other way?"
"In precisely the opposite direction."
"But what can wo do? At what stage
In our wanderings up to this very moment
could we hae parted company with our
friends Do you know. I have a horrlblo
feeling that vn have brought a good deal
of avoidable misery on their heads? If wo
litidn't gone to tho mill "
"They would probably all have been dead
by this time, nnd certainly both homeless
and friendless," he Interrupted Then ha
began telling her the fate of Vise, but wns
brought up short by nn imperative whisper
from Pochard
They were talking English, without
realizing it, and Huy was near. ,
"And why carry that Bword?" added tho
Frenchman "It Is useless, and most
dangerous Thrust it Into a ditch "
Dalroy obeyed promptly He had thought
lessly disregarded the sinister outcome If a
patrol found him with such a weapon In
his hand.
They came to Huy by a winding road
through a suburb, meeting plenty of soldiers
strolling to and from billets. Luck be
friended them at this ticklish moment. Nono
saw a little party turning Into a lane which
led to the back of the villa tenanted by
Monsieur Pochard's married sister. This
lady proved both sympathetln and helpful.
The cart, with Its sad freight, was homed
in a woodshed at the bottom of the garden,
and the dogs were stabled In the gar
dener's potting shed.
"The ladles can shnre my bedroom and
my daughter's." she said. "You men must
sleep tn the greenhouse, as every remaining
room Is filled with Uhlans Their supper Is
ready now, but there Is plenty Come and
eat before they arrive They left on patrol
duty early this morning"
And that is where tho fugitives experi
enced a stroke of amailng good fortune.
That particular batch of Uhlans never re
turned It was supposed that they wero cut
off while scouting along the Tirlemont road
Apparently their absence only contributed to
an evening of quiet talk and a night of un
disturbed rest In reality. It saved the lives
of the whole party, Including the hostess
and her family.
Early next morning Monsieur Pochard
Interviewed an undertaker, and Madame
Joos was laid to rest In the nearest ceme
tery. Maertz, Madame Stauwaert and
Leontlne attended the funeral. Joos showed
signs of collapse. His mind wandered. He
thought his wife was living, and In Ver
vlers They enoouraged the delirium and
dosed him with a narcotic
Irene helped In the kitchen nnd Dalroy
dug the garden. Thus the confederacy re
mained split up during the morning, and
was not noticed by an otllcer who came to
Inquire about the missing Uhlans.
About noon Monsieur Pochard drew Dal
roy aside. "Monsieur," he said, and his
face wore anxious lines, "last night the old
man Implied that he ws Henri Joos. of
Vise. No, please listen. I don't want to be
told. I can only give you certain faeU and
leave you to draw your own conclusions.
Active inquiries are being made by the au
thorities for Henri Joos, Elizabeth Joos,
Leontlne Joos, their daughter and Jan
Maertz, all of Vise. With them are an
Englishwoman aged twenty and an English
officer named Dalroy, both dressed as Bel
gian peasants. The appended descriptions
seem to be remarkably accurate and a re
ward of 1000 marks ts offered for their
capture."
"They may be willing to pay double the
price for freedom," said Dalroy

Present Week
ATLANTIC CITY, July 12,
Atlantic City's Boardwalk in the futur
will be on the bias. That ts the decision
reached after visitors have tried out the
newly decked block at the foot of St. '
James Place, where the planks are laid
diagonally. This new mode of topping the
wooden way promises to be a sure cure
for "Boardwalk feet," an aliment with
which thousands of pedestrians are an
nually amicted. The bias decking is much
smoother than boards laid horizontally and
there Is no opportunity for heels to be
caught In the cracks that were caused by
the wide boards becoming rounded at the
edges.
Keeping tho Boardwalk in repair is one
of the most expensive Items in Atlantlo
City's budget. For a long time it looked
as though some substitute would have to
be found for -timber, which is becoming
scarce, but the new method of decking nas
in a measure solved tha problem, Inas
much ns wherever It has been tried the
walh has been found to wear nearly a
hundred per cent better. The famous es
planade will not bo entirely redecked thie
autumn, but when the Walk needs repairs
the work will bo done with narrow pin
boards placed diagonally.
Boy Scouts began yesterday to distribute
cards devised by Herbert Hoover to enlist
houtewUes In tho conservation of food.
The municipal market, to bo organized by

of the committee.
