DR. BELLE COOLIGE Is going to talk

Auxiliary of the Red Cross at 3 o'clock.
It seems like old times "befo" do war,"
doesn't it? These weekly talks started up
at 608 Chestnut street for the workers as
they fill their Christmas bags and mend
the clothes and make new things for the
refugees.
Doctor Coollgo is a Bostonlan, I have
been told, but any way she was the first
woman physician to enlist in tho medical
reserve corps, the first woman doctor to
go to France. Sho crossed when the
submarlno menace was at Its height. She
was1 on tho French coast of tho English
Channel and in Verdun, Couriel and Mont
ffaucon. In less than three months she
cared for 4000 refugee patients. I opine
?.sho'll be very Interesting.

I TOLD jou there wero going to bo a
number of parties for the younger set,
didn't I? Well, Marianne Harris is to
'have a dinner on December 30 before the
meeting of Mrs. Wurts's class, and Ellen
':McMlchael is to be honor guest at a dinner
given by her parents that same nigh'
' Dr. and Mrs. Richard Norris are going
to give a dance at their home, 500 North
'Twentieth street, for their daughters, Vir
ginia and Louise, on New Year's Day. So
you see the school set will bo some busy
little bunch in tho Christmas holidays.
V
HAVE you been to tho toy departments
of any of the stores? They are fasci
nating and tho youngsters Just naturally
'yell with glee whenever they get inside
one of these fairylands. Young Jack
D Was taken in to see Santa Claus
tho other day, and of course was filled
with embarrassment when he camo face
to face with him; couldn't remember a
thing he wanted and forgot completely
fhow to talk to Mother's utter bewilder-
1 ment. It never had happened before. But
' he found his tongue and both well-devo'.ued
lungs when he saw those wonderful Jointed
'circus toys. He spent hours gazing at
them, making a pony stand on one root,
a clown on one hand and an elephant on
.a chair and a barrel.
1 For days afterward Jack was to be seen
-standing on one foot, attempting to stand
on one hand, and one day Mother rescued
"Oilm Just in time as ho was starting up
.the back of a perfectly good but slightly
ftippy nursery chair. Several days later,
, hearing wild howls from Bobby, the baby,
Mother came on the run, to find Bobby
' -swaying 6n uncertain feet waving wild,
(.protesting arms and using his one word,
"No!," with great effect at Jack. "Why,
J.ack!" she exclaimed, "what wero you
doing to Bobby?" "Oh, nothing," replied
Jack disgustedly. "I was only trying to
make him movo his arms and legs like
those elephants." NANCY WYNNE.

Cevyriol't by Itobrrt M. UcUrtde Co.
CHAPTER XXI (Continued)
IT WAS my old friend, ld Tabs, whom I
met on one of our many visits to mysteri
ous but obviously Important olllclals, that
finally cleared up for me the many obscure
points in this adventuro of mine. When ho
saw me he burst out laughing.
"Pon my soul," ho grinned, "you seem to
be able to act on a hint, don't you?"
Then he told me the story or the Kaiser's
letter.
There Is no need to sneak of the contents
of this amazing letter," ho began, "for you
are probably more familiar with them than
I am. The, date alone will suffice
July SI, 1914 ' ' It explains a great deal.
The last day of July was the moment when
the peace of Europe was literally trembling
in the balance. You know the Emperor's
wayward, capricious nature, his eagerness for
fame and military glory, his morbid terror
of the unknown. In that fateful last week
of July he was torn between opposing forces.
On the one side was ranged the whole of tho
Prussian military party, led by the Crown
Prince and the Emperor's own immediate
entourage ; on the other, the record of pros
pcrltv which J ears of peace had conferred
on h'ls realms. He had to choose between
his own megalomania craving for military
laurels, on the one hand, and, on the other,
that place in history as the Pi luce of Peace
for which, In gentler moments, he has so
often hankered. '
"The Kaiser is a man of mrods. lie sat
down and penned this letter In a fit of
despondency and Indecision, when the -lslon
of Peace pcemeu rairer 10 mm uu ---ter
of War. God knows what violent emo
tion impelled him to write this extraordinary
appeal to his English friend, an appeal
which. It published, would convict him ot
the deepest treachery to his ally, but he
wrote the letter and forthwith dispatched it
to London. He did not make use of the
regular courier: he sent the letter by a man
of hie own choosing, who had special instruc
tions to hand the letter in person to Prince
Lichnowsky, the German ambassador. Lieh
nowsky was to deliver the missive personally
to its destined recipient.
"Mmost ns soon as the letter was away
the' Kaiser seems to have realized what he
had done, to have repented of his action.
"The courier neer got as far as Carlton
House Terrace.
"The letter was intercepted. How it was
done and by whom we have never found out.
hut Lichnowsky neer saw that letter. Nor
did the courier leave London. With the Im
rerial letter still in possession, apparently,
lie went to a, house at Dalston, where he
was arrested on the day after we declared
war on Germany.
"This courier went by the name of Schulte.
We did not know him at the time to be
traveling on the Emperor's business, but we
knew him very well as one of the most daring
and successful spies that Germany had ever
employed in this country. One of our people
picked him up quite ,by chance on his ar
rlal in London, and shadowed him to Dais
ton, where we promptly laid him by the
heels when war broke out.
"Schulte was interned. You have heard
how one of his letters, stopped by the camp
censor, put us on the track of the Intercepted
letter, and jou know the bteps we took to
oltaln possession of the document. But we
were mleled not by Schulte, but
through the treachery of a man tn whom lie
conilded. the inteipreter at the internment
camp.
"To this man Schulte Intrusted the famous
Utter, tejllng him to send It by an under
ground route to a certain address at Clees,
and promising him in return a commlssjon of
twenty-ftvo per cent on the price to be .paid
for the letter. The Interpreter took the letter,
but did not dd as he was bid. On the con
trary, he wrote to the go-between, with

(probably Clubfoot), and announced that ho
Knew where tho. letter was and was pre
pared to sell It, only tho purchaser would
havo to come to England and fetch It.
"Well, to make a long story short, the In
terpreter made a deal with the Iluns, and
this Doctor Semlln was sent to England from
Washington, where he had been working
for Bernstorff, to fetch the letter at the
address in London indicated by the Inter
preter. In the I meantime, wo had got alter
the Interpreter, who, ilka Schulte, had been
in the i-Hplonage business all his life, and
ho was arrested.
"We know what Semlln found when he
reached London. The wily interpreter had
sliced tho letter in two, so as to make sure
of his money, meaning, no doubt, to hand
oer the other ortlon as boon as the price
had been paid.
"Hut by tho time Semlln got to London the
interpreter was Jugged and Semlln had to
report that he had only got half the letter.
The rest you know how Grundt was
sen; for. how he came to this country and
icttlcvcd tho other portion. Don't ask ine
how ha set nbout It; I don't know, and we
neer found out een where tho interpreter
deposited the second half or how Grundt dis
covered its hiding place. But ho executed his
mission and got clear away with the goods.
Tho rest of the tale you know better than I
do!"
"But Clubfoot." I asked, "who Is he?"
"There are many who have nsked that
question," Red Tabs replied gravely, "und
some hayo not waited long for their answer.
The mail was known by name anil icputation
to vtiy few, by sight to een fewer, jet I
doubt if any man of his time wielded greater
power In secret than he. Officially, he was
nothing, he didn't exist; but In tho daik
places, where his wajs were laid, he watched
and plotted and spied for his master, the tool
of the Imperial spite as he was the instru
ment of the imperial 'vengeance.
"A man like tho Kaiser," my friend con
tinued, "monarch though he Is, has many ene
mies naturally, and makes many more. Head
of the army, head of the navy, head of the
church, head of the State undisputed, auto
cratic head he is confronted at every turn
by personal issues woven and intertwined
with political questions. It was in this sphere,
where the personal is grafted on the political,
that Clubfoot reigned supreme here
and in another sphere, where German Wil
liam is not only, monarch, but also a very
oidlnary man.
"There are phases In every man's life, Oke.

In an autocracy, however, such phages ale
geneially inextricably entangled with political

THE tVOMAN THB GERMANS SHOT
A Trao-edy That Rocked the OlvllijM World
IHtr. 25c. SOo (except Sat.). Eves.. SSo to SI
to the Emperor alone. His work was of so
delicate, so confidential a nature, that he
rendered an account of his services only to
his Imperial master. There was none to stay
his hand, lo check him In his courses, save
only this neurotic, capricious crlppio who Is
always open to flattery "
lted Tabs thought for a mlnuto and then
went on.
- "Xo 0110 may catalogue." he said, "tho
crimes that Clubfoot committed, the infamies
lie hnd to his account.
"Not een thb Kaiser himself. I dare say,
knows the manner In which ills orders to
this blackguard wero executed orders rap
ped out often enough, I swear. In a fit of
petulance, ti gust of passion, Hnd forgotten
the next moment In tho excitement of some
fresh sensation.
"I know a little of Clubfoot's recoid, of
Innocent llvs wrecked, of careers ruined, ot
sudden disappearances, of lolent deaths.
When you and your brother put It across
'der Stelze,' Okewood, you settled a long
outstanding account we had against him, but
jou also rendered ills fellow-Huns a signal
service "
1 thought of the comments I had heard on
Clubfoot among tho customers at Haase's,
nnd I felt that Bed Tabs had hit tho right
mill on the head again
"By the way?" said lied Tabs, as I rose
to go, "would ou caie o see Clubfoot's
ipltnph" I kept it for jou." Ho handed
me a German newspaper the Berliner Tage
blatt, I think it was with a paragraph
marked In red pencil. I lead:
"We regret to repoit the sudden death
from apoplexy of Dr. Adolf Grundt. an In
spector of secondnij- schools. Tho deceased
was closely connected for manj- jears with
a number of chaiitable institutions enjov
ing tho pationago of the Kmperor. Ills
Majesty frcquentlj' consulted Dr. Urundt le
gal ding the dlstiibutlon of the sums allo
cated annually from the prlvj purse for
henoolont objects"
"Pretty fair specimen of 1'iusslan cyni
cism?" laughed Red Tab" But 1 held ni
head tho game wus too deep for me.
Kiery week a hamper of good things is
dispatched to 314a Sapper Kbenezer Maggs.
British prisoner of war, (iefnngene-Lager,
Krledrichsfeld bel Wesel. I hao been in
communication with his people, and since his
flight from the camp thej' hae not had a line
from him. They will let me know at once
If thej hear, but 1 ant restless and anxious
about him.
I daio not write lest I compromise him I
daio not make official Inquiry as to his safety
for the same reason. If ho &uiled those
shots in the dark, he Is certainly undergoing
punishment, and In that case he would be
deprhed of tho privilege of wilting or e
cehing letters
But the weeks slip by and no message
comes to me from Chewtou Mendlp. rMmott
dally I wonder if the gallant lad suivived
that night to return to tho mlseiy of the
starvation camp, or whether, out of the
darkness of the forest, his brave soul soared
free, aehleUng lis final release from tho
sufferings of this world l'oor Sapper
Maggs!
Francis and Monica are honeymooning on
the Illviera. Gerry, I am sure, would hae
lefused to attend the wedding, only lie wasn't
asked. Francl3 is getting a billet on the
Intelligence out in franco when his leave
Is up:
I hae got my step, antedated hack to the
daj- I went into Germany. Francis has been
told that something is coming to him and me
in tile Xcw Year's honors.
I don't worry much. I am going back to

now eager to help him. They new' B,way
wero soon out of eight Dusk was falling -when
they came back. '
"The horses are at tho far end of thtj1
camp," they reported. "You can attack their' v
corral through a ETinoj-tiril on the hilt" '
"Aro the horses guarded?" asked Balky n
Sam.
"By a whole company of Germans I" r, ,
piled Homer Pigeon.
Oalloplnff to the graveyard, the mules
halted to prepare to go over the top. Peggy
did some fast thinking as she looked down
toward the big enclosure that held hundreds'
and hundreds of horses. And her thlnklni:
caused her to face Balky Sam very Berionsly.
"Do you know If you attack those German
soldiers j-ou will be doing wrong to Unci
Sam?" she asked.
"How's that?" asked Balky Sam, rolling
his eyes nt her In surprise.
"Because Uncle Sam promised ho woula
stop fighting while peace was being arranged.
You are part of Ills armj'. If you make War
on the German soldiers j-ou will cause him
to break his word."
"I'll not touch the Gel mans, but just thrash
lliclr horses. That will not harm Uncle Sam,"
he Anally concluded.
"How can j'ou get at tho horses without
fighting the Germans?" asked Peggy.
"I know," broke in Billy Belgium. "Scare
'cm Into fits."
"That's a good idea," brayed Balky Sam.
"I'll hee-haw at Vm and kick up my heels."
"Xo," said Billy. Have all your mules'
roll In tho soft snow until they look like a lot
of ghosts. Then hee-haw just as mournful as
j-ou can. That will puzzle and alarm the Ger
man. Peggy nnd I will play tricks on them,
making them think spirits ure around so
when they see a whole white troop come
galloping out of the gratcj-ard It will sena
them scooting."
BIllj- Belgium chanted the Gollckcty Shrub
chaiin. which made him nnd Peggy their
usual size again, but Invisible to human dyes.
The Germans were gathered around a camp
file, as Hilly and Peggy ran down the hill.
They were laughing nnd joking among them
sehes. evidently glud that the war was over.
Suddcnlj" there came an awful noise from
thu giavej'ard. It was like a great, mourn
ful groan, followed by an agonized wan,
Peggj-, badly scared, grabbed' Billy Belgium
by the aim. Then she remembered It was
only the timlei.
But the Germans, not knowing about the
mules, were badly frightened. They Jumpea
to their feet and looked up the hill. Again
came that awful ghostly noise. Then
seigeant's cap flew off his head and began
to dance around the fire. The hat of a cor
poral followed. An empty coat assumed
shape and jigged violently. A sword jumped
out of a scabbard and waed violently In the
nlr. A gun whirled around pointing In all
direction''.
Yells of fear arose from the Germans. Like
an echo came that ghostlj" wail again, but
this time much nearer, as dozens of white,
phantom-like figures rushed over the grave
yaid wall and toward the terrorized Huns.
