Germantoivn Girls Federal Officers ISN'T It flno tho dinner-dances liavo started up atraln out at tho Philadel phia Country Club on Saturday nights? fV Ileally. you know, slowly but surely a little of tho gay llfo has begun again since tho war. It will take time, ot course, and there will bo very few who will not do real V , things as woll ns have good times, but tho good times aro coming closer and closer, t and It's a good thing, too, don't you think? "Jack" needs to play now and asaln, a9 Nancy has always said. And Nancy likes to play, too, Incidentally. i - Tho Clayton Dlxons gave a party of twelvo on Saturday night. Sho was Estello Wllloughby, you know, and has been doing splendid Red Cross work during tho last two or throe years. She and her husband entertained a number of English officers here during tho last year. ' Tho Beau Thomsons gavo a dinner at the ","0',''club before tho danco and so did tho G. 7 Helde Norrlscs, and the Sidney Masons also - entertained. It was like tho good old times dining and dancing on tho good old club floor. A weo bird told mo they would start up tho Saturday dances out at tho Philadelphia Cricket Club soon. I wonder and very mdeh hopo they will. They wero stopped v last year on account of coal shortage. HANNAH RANDOLPH Is to bo honor guest at a dinner ot tho Rltz-Carlton " tonight', given by her sister, Dorothy Fell. " Sho's to bo married tomorrow afternoon, you know, down at the Charles Penrose Keith's House, 321 South 1 ourin w. Dorothy is going 'to bo tho matron of honor at tho wedding. I think It's going to be extremely interesting. All tho ushers ' -with tho exception of Emlen Randolph aro members of tho British embassy at Wash lngton. Bob Hudson is ono of tho secre taries of tho embassy, you know. Tho little Fell and Stevenson and Dcveroux kiddles aro to bo In tho bridal party. The Fells and Stevensons aro Hannah's nieces and nephews and tho small Dovereux boy is a nephew of Mrs. Fell, though no rela tlon to tho brido herself. ' Monslgnor Kioren, of St. Patrick's Church, Is to perform tho ceremony. Mon elgnor Kieren, by the way, is to celebrate his golden Jubllco on December 22. Fifty years! That's some length 'of time, isn't It? I had an idea that ho had married Hannah's mother to Mr. Randolph, but v thoso of that generation tell mo It was Archbishop Ryan of happy memory who performed that ceremony. Mrs. Randolph has been dead for many years now. It's going to bo a very pretty wedding tomor , row I feel sure, and tho quaint old home J on Fourth street will certainly add to tho 1 artistic effect of tho bridal party. There's to be quite a good-sized reception after tho wedding. , HAVE you heard about tho Philadelphia Food Army? Oh, yes, -no havo all kinds of armies in this town. It's quite a wide spread thing, and out In Oermantcwn Mrs. Ernest Toogood and Mrs. Carl Williams aro very much interested in It. A number of girls have been made Federal officers ' get the Federal, because they havo been appointed and everything and they travel around explaining tho bulletins tho food Administrator publishes, .vlth the newest rules in conservation Hko a quarterly stylo book. You may think all your con servation la over because you can get any amount of sugar and now that you've heard that your soldier was well and happy on tho 12th ot November; lut you aro all wrong. He still has to havo food even if he is happy, and If you eat too much ho won't havo any. Henco conservation, hence rules, henco bulletins, henco these feminine Federal officers. Tho two Brew sters, Graco and Ellzaboth, enjoy this title, and Genevieve Dillejibeck and Ellzabe;h Van Dusen and several others. So if - there's anything you don't understand, call ' on them and-they will explain It all to you. THERE was a smoker out at Manhelm on Saturday night, given by tho mem bers of tho club in honor of the German town Cricket Club Military Organization, who appeared in uniform. There wero speeches by Mr. E. W. Clark, president of the club; Colonel Sheldon Potter and Cap tain John Blakely, captain of the "mili tary." The speakers wero introduced by Mr. Joseph Wayne. Mr. Wayne, by the way, is the father of somo awfully at tractive daughters, and Elizabeth, tho old est. Is almost a deb. She's a member of 'the National League, and tho uniform Is nst becoming. I foresee a good time for her. if things ever como back to tho old customs and wo have debutantes, and teas end dances and such again. But to go back to the smoker it was quite an affair, and they tell mo that every man in German town was there. They had "professional talent," too, some of which came out and V sang national anthems, dressed as na tional emblems.

CHAPTEIt I Balky Sam Kicks P (EACH! Peace ! Peace'" The glad song floated down to Peggy from the church steeple far aboo her. "Peace! Peace with victory! Peace with safety! Peaco with Joy and happiness!" The chant grew louder as out from the steeple there poured an army 'bf pigeons. "Hurrah !" cried Peggy. "The soldier birds are home from war!" Down swooped the pigeons, lining up lie fore Peggy In military formation. In front of them was a handsome young officer, viho saluted smartly. "Princess Peggy, wo have done our duty and helped to make the world safe for every one. We thank you for spndlng us to war, and giving us a share In this noble triumph." Peggy looked closely. In pleased surprise. It was Airy Pouter, but not the snobbish, lazy, sneering Airy Pouter she had known of ola. This was a snappy, soldiery, likable pigeon of a very different sort. "Oh, I'm so glad you're back',' exelaimeo. Peggy. "But whero aro Carrie and Homer Pigeon?" "They have remained behind to prevent Balky Sam, the army mule, from starting another war. They want you and Billy Bel glum to hurry oer there, as fast as you can." "Goodness gracious! Why does he want another war. Just when every ono Is so happy over peace?" Before Airy Pouter could answer, another pigeon voice cried, "Hurry, hurry I" and Peg gy looked up into the air to see Bronze Beauty darting toward her. Beside htm wa Billy Belgium's toy airplane, with Billy him self, reduced to doll-size. In the pilot's seat. "Come on, Peggy. Here are Gollckety Leaves to make you small and Invisible," shouted Billy. Presto 1 Peggy became as small as tho pigeons, and hopped Into the airplane. "Europe I Blngen on the Rhine I" shoutea Billy, as If giving directions to a cnauffeur. "Whlr-r-r- f Whlsh-sh-sh-sh I" went the airplane for a dizzy minute. Then It slowed Mp. Looking below, Peggy saw a large river. "We are In Germany. There's the Rhine, shouted Billy. Beside the town was a huge military camp, over which flew the American flag. Stralgiu for this camp headed tho airplane. As they approached It, Peggy and Billy could hear a violent racket. Bang I Whack ! Thump 1 Clatter! Bang! It sounded like a battle. "Has the war broken loose again?" cried Billy In wonderment. "It will mighty quick, If Balky Sam Isn't headed off," shrilled a voice close at hand . and there were Homer and Carrie Pigeon fly ing beside the airplane. A bugle call rang out below, and a com pany of negro soldiers could be Seen running toward a long wooden building from whlcn thevacket was coming". "What's doing?" shouted Billy Belgium. "Balky Sam's army of mules has taken possession of tho stables," shrilled Homer Pigeon. "The negro troops are attacking them to prevent their beginning a new war on Germany." "Oh, oh. tho soldiers will kill the mules!" screamed Peggy, liorrlfled at the sight of tho weapons In the hands ot the negroes these weapons being glistening pitchforks. "Wall! Wah I Wall I" shouted the negroes, rushing into the stables. For a moment there was silence. Then bang, bangety-bang.'bang! The racket rose louder than ever. Above It sounded screams. "Oh, the poor mules I" cried Peggy, cover ing her ears. Crash I Out through a window came flying a negro. Crash I Right through a spllnterea board came another negro. Crash! Up through the roof came a third. Then crasn, crash, crash, followed a chorus, and wltn every crash a sprawling negro flew through window, side or roof, "Hpe I Haw I" roared a familiar voice, and there was Balky Tarn leading a troop or prancing, kicking mules, through a hole smashed In tho side of the stables. "Heel Haw!" brayed T-.lky Sam. "On to Berlin!" "Stop him t" shrieked Homer Pigeon. "Stop hlra before the war begins" all over again."

It was three minutes to tho hour. 'Come! The tno addresses " t would keep faith to the lapt. ''Herr Doktor!" I faltered. Ha dashed the pencil down on the table and sprang to his feet. Ho caught me by the lapels of my ccat and sook me In an Iron grip. "The addresses, jou dog!" lip said. The clock whirred faintly. There wat a knock at tho door. "Como In I" roared Clubfoot and resumed hh seat. The clock was chiming twelve. An officer stepped In briskly and saluted It was Francis! FrnncK freshly shaved, his mustache neatly trimmed, a mwioclo In his eye. In a beautifully walsted gray military overcoat, one white-gloved hand raised in saluto to his helmet "Hauptmann on Salzmann! he In troduced himself clicking his heeli and howlng to Clubfoot, who glared at him, frowning at the Interruption. Ho ppoko with the clipped, mincing utterance of tho Oplcal Prussian ofllcer. "I am looking for Herr Lieutenant Sehmnlz," he said. "Ho In not In," answered Clubfoot in a urly olce "Ho Is out nnd I am bupv ' I do not wish to be disturbed." "As Pchmalz Is out," the officer returned suavely, advancing to the desk. "I must trcublo you for an Instant, I feor. I have been sent oer from Goch to inspect the guard here. But I find no guard there iM.not a man In tho place." Clubfoot angrily heaved his unwieldy hulk from hlq choir "Golt 1m Hhninel ' ' he cried savngelv "It Is incrediblo that I can never be left In peace. What tho devil has tho guard got to do with me? Will ou understand that T havo nothing to do with the guard I There Is a sergeant somewhere curse him for a lazy scoundrel rn ring " He never finished tho sentence. As ho turned his hack on my brother to leach the bell In tho wall, Francis sprang on him from behind, seizing his bull neck In an Iron grip nnd driving his kneo at the samo moment into that vast expanse ot back The huge Germ.in, taken by surprise, crashed over backward, my brother on top of him. It was so quickly done that, for lhe Instant. I was dumbfounded "Quick, Des, the door"' my brother gasped. "Ixck tho door!" Tho big German was roaring like a bull and plunging wildly under my brother's fingers, his clubfoot beating a thunderous tattoo on the parquet floor. In his fall Club foot's left arm had been bent under him and was now pinioned to tho ground by his great weight. With his free right arm lie strove fiercely to force oft my brothers lin gers as Francis fought to get a grip on the man's throat and cluKe him to silence. I darted to the door. Tho Key was on the Inside, and 1 tuined It In a trice. As I turned to go to my brother's help my eve caught sight of the butt of my pistol llng where Schnralz had thrown It the evening before under my overcoat on the leather lounge. I snatched up the weapon and dropped by my brother's side, crushing Clubfoot's right arm to the ground. I thrust tho pistol In h'.s face. "Stop that nolso I" I commanded, e Tho German obccd "Better search him, Francis," I said to my brother. "He probably has a Browning on him somewhere." Francis went through the man's pockets, reaching up and putting each article as It came to light on the desk above him. From an Inner breast pocket ho extracted tho Browning. He glanced at It: tho magazine was full with a cartridge In the breech. "Hadn't wo better truss him up?" Francis raid to me. ' No," I said. I was still kneeling on tho Gciman's arm. He seemed exhausted. His head had fallen back upon tho ground. "Let mo up, curse you !" he choked. "No I" I said again nnd Francis turned ard looked at me. Each of us knew what was In tho other's m'.nd, mv brother and I. We were think ing of a handclasp we had c- 'hanged on tho banks of the Rhine. t 1 was about to speak, but Francis checked me Ilo was trembling all over. I could feel his elbow quiver where it touched mine. "No, Des, please " he pleaded, "let me this Is my show " Then, in a voice that vibrated with sup pressed passion, ho spoke swiftly to Club foot. "Take a good look at mc, Grundt," he said eternly. "Vou don't know me, do you? I aire Francih O'cewood, brother of tho man who has brought you to your fall. "You don't know me, but you knew some of my friends, I think. Jack Tracy? Do you remember him? And Herbert Arbuthnot? Ah, you knew him, too. And Philip Brewster? Tou remember him as well, do you? No need to ask you what happened to poor Philip!" The man on tho floor answered nothing, but I saw tho color very slowly fade from his cheeks. My brother spoke again. "There were four of us after that letter, as you knew, Orundt, and three of us are dead. But you never got me. I was the fourth man, the unknown quantity In all your elaborate calculations and It seems to me I spoiled your reckoning I and this brother of mine an amateur at th game, Grundt 1" Still Clubfoot was silent, but I noticed a bead of perspiration tremble on his forehead, then trickle down his ashen cheeks and drop splashing to tho floor. ' Francis continued In tho samo deep, relent less voice. "I never thought I should have to soil my hands by ridding the world of a man like you Grundt, but It has come to it and you have to die. I'd have killed you in hot blood when I first came In but for Jack and Her bert and the others for their sake you had to know who Is your executioner." My brother raised the pistol. As ho did so" the man on the floor, by a tremendous effort of strength, rose erect to his knees, flinging me headlong. Then there was a hot burst of llamo close to my cheek as I lay on the floor, a deafening report, a thud and a sickening gurgle. Something twitched a little on the ground and then lay still.

Sho was as excited as a child at Its first play. "A car!" she exclaimed. "Oh, Francis, I'll sit beside jou "' My brother glanced at his watch. 'Twenty to one'" lie murmured. He hid a hunted look on his face. Monica saw It and It bobcred her. They got up in fiont, and I sat In tho body of the car "Hang on to that'" said Francis, handing me over a leather case. I recognized It at a glance. It was Clubfoot's dispatch-box Francis was thorough in everj thing. Once moro we dashed out along the deso late country roads Wo saw hardly a soul. Houses wero few and far between and, save for an occasional grav beard hoeing in the wet fields or mi old woman hobbling along the road, the countryside seemed dead. In the cold air the onglno ran splendidly, and Fran cis got every ounce of horsepower out of It. On wc rushed, the wind In our ears, tho cold air In our faces, until we found oui sclves racing along nn avenuo of old trees that led straight as an arrow right into the heart of tho forest. It was ns silent as the grave; tho air was dank and chill and the tiees dripped sorrowfully, into the brimming ruts of the load. Wo whizzed past many tracks leading into the depths of the forest, but It was not until tho car had eaten up some five kilometers of tho main road that Trancis slowed to a halt. He consulted a map ho pulled from nis pocket, then glanced at his watch with puck ered brow. ' I had hoped to take the car Into the forest," he said, "but the loads are so soft wo shan't get a jard. Still wo can but try." Wo went forward again, very Monly, to where a track ran off to the left. It was baqiy plowed up, and the ruts were fully a foot deep. Monica nnd I got out to lighten the car, and Francis ran her in. But ho hadn't gone five yards before the car was bogged up to tho axles "We'll havo to leave It," he said, jumping out. "It's ten minutes to two vve haven't a second to lose." Ilo pulled a cloth cap ftom the pocket of his military overcoat, then stripped off the coat, showing his ordinary clothes undei ncath, and veiy shlnj black field boots up to his knees. Ho put his helmet In the ovei coat and made a roll of It. tucking it under his arm, and then donned his cap. "Now," ho said, "We'll havo to run for It, Monica, Im afraid: we must leach our cover while the light lasts or I shan't be ablo to find it. and it will be dark in these woods In about two hours from now. Are jou ready?"
