Per haps Leta had sent for some of her tilings to be taken down to her house In Wash ington. I bet that's the solution, don't you? Because her husband Is stationed in Washington, you know, and, as far as any one in the army can tell ahead, they ex pect to be there most of the winter.

Hoarse shouts sounded throughout the house Commands rang out, doors slnmmed, and theie was much confusion. A loud argument could be heard In a room dlrectlv above the children, the voices being cnrrled distinctly by the ventilator. It seemed that Jonathan Hardflst was protesting to tho Ger mans against the ruining of his property and was being threatened with worse things 'Let's see what's going on," whispered Billy to Peggy, leading the waj up the lad der, fehe followed eagerly. Thej came to a ventilator that looked down on a drawing room Through, the grated opening the could see without being seen At a benutlful mahogany table In the center of the room was seated a German gmeral. Around him were other officers In front, guarded by two soldiers, was Jonathan Hardflst. ' This Is nn outrage, to attack a peaceable homo in this way," shouted Mr. Hardflst. "It Is not right." "This Is war," answered the general grim ly. "Anything Is light that will help Ger many w In " "I want pay for every cent's worth of dam age," blustered Mr Hardflst. "And I'll get It If" Silence1' thundered the geneial "All you'll get Is n bullet through your heart If our demands are not met promptly. Our re ports show- you are vciv wealthy.

""'Here's a list of your valuables diamonds, pearls, money. Do net trv to deceive us" "Where did vou get that list?" gasped Jonathan Hardflst "Our pples are veiy efficient. You will admit that It Is coned?' "NoVNo!" cried Mr Hardflst. "What do you say, Hans and Sebastian?' Two men stepped forward and saluted smartly. "It Is absolutely correct, Excellency !" they said. "My private secretary and butler," gasped Mr Hardflst. "It's no use tiying to evade us," said the general "I'll not haggle with you If in ten seconds you do not produce the valuables listed you will b shot'" Mr. Hnidflst looked around In wild de spair. He saw no mercy In the faces of tho Huns "I'll lend you my money at only 5 per cent," he offered "Germany Is not borrowing. Germany Is taking," grimly replied the officer. "Your time Is up " The soldiers lifted their guns. "I'll get it ! I'll get it !" shrieked Mr Hard flst. running from the room with the sol dlers following In a few moments he was back again. Two soldiers lugged In the chest. The Gel man officers thiew It open and checked off the valuables, the secretary and butler assisting "It Is all here," said the secretary. "That Is fortunate for you," declared the general to Mr Hardflst. "That $250,000 will build manv a cannon with which to fight the Americans " A young cflleer hurried In. "General, our soldiers have been tired upon from houses In tho village." "So !" said the general, glaring at Mr. Hardflst. "You are a prominent citizen of this place. You, with nine qther leading citi zens will bo shot In ono hour In the public square as an example Take him away." Mr. Hardflst, almost fainting at this dread sentence, was carried from tho room.

Hampton Moore Washington, Sept. 11. Democrats furnlslv the richest morsel of capital gossip, npait from war talk, that we have heard In Washington for somo time Palmer and McCormlck are ho closo to the Administra tion, official and political, that their laid upon the Honnlvvell foices started many anxious inquiries among the Democrats of othci States who have been wondcilng how fnrjthe AdminlHti.itlon proposed to interfere In the approaching elections. Enough lias already occulted by way uf assistance to certain candidates and oppo sition to others to Justify the individual suspicions of many paity men who do not know upon which side the Adnilnlstintion may smile. The activities of Palmer and .McCormlck uie so pronounced In view ot their official lelatlons to the Government that one of the waggish Republican membeis n tunlly prepared a resolution of investigation This resolution, while not presented to Congicss, was written In semlhumorous fashion, setting forth in tho whei eases that the President had declared politics idjoumed, that the Secretary of the Tieasurv and director geneial of lallioads had wained tho railroad attorneys and "Tiployes that they must tlKissocl ito themselves fiom political machinery or partisanship, and that the action of Mr. McCoimUk. chair man of the war trade board, and Mr. Pal mer, alien pioperty custodian, in absent ing themselves from their war duties In Washington to enter the political aiena In Pennsylvania for the purpose of Illinois ing tho Democratic nominee for Govrenor, was contiadlctory. If not in contempt of higher authority. With a s,piilt of ques tionable self-sacrifice it was proposed that the Speaker of the House should appoint on this committee of investigation none but good Democrats, in order that the woik of purification might not be subject to Repub lican interference. All Joking aside, howevei. rumors are current that Palmer and McCormlck "hive something up their sleeves" with regard to tho wet and dry question which they have not yet revealed. And it Is believed that they have not been disciplined by the President for what hns thus far taken placei SENATORS and Congressmen who come within the new draft age limits, and who cannot get home, nro "stepping up to the captain's office" for leglstratlon under arrangements made for them at the Post office Building. Some of the Pennsylvania members are Included The Senators, Pen rose and Knox, are each beyond the forty-five-year limit. Penrose, while senior Sen ator In service, is Junior In age. He was born In 1800 and Knox In 1853. Of tho Congressmen nt-Large, all but one nro outside the pale. The exception is 'John R. K. Scott, and he comes mighty close. He was born July 0. 1873. Crago, who saw service in the Philippines as a major of the famous Tenth Pennsylvania, was born In 18CC. Gailand, the -"Big Moose" from Pittsburgh, was born In 1856, and McLaughlin, of Philadelphia, In 1867. The other members of the Pennsylvania delegation, some of whom have sons In the service, camo along as follows: Vare, 1867; Graham, 1850; Moore, 1864; Ed munds. 1864; Costello. 1851; Darrow, 1859; Butler, 1855; Devvalt, 1854; McFadden, 1876; Kless, 1875; Lesher, 1866; ICrelder, 1863; Rose, 1856; Brodbeck, I860; Rowland, 1860; Robblns, 1861; Sterling, jsju; Tem ple 1864; Steele, 1860; Strong, 1859; Por ter," 1869; Kelly, 1883;fMorln, 1868; Camp bell 1871.
