» ■ ' R " »|Ì Fleeing From War By DONALD CHAMBERLIN iti When the pan-European war broke out I was in Berlin. I wished to reacb London, where I could get a steamer for America aa soon as possible, for I feared an Interruptlon of travel. But there was such a crowd of fnglttves, besides the troops, being moved west ward, that I concluded to walt till the trains were lesa crowded, so I re malned where I was, and finally there carne a time when I felt that I could go through eomfortably. I chose a way train, because the mairi exodus was on the express traina. The former are eomptfsed of compartments holding eight persons, l>etween wbich there is no connection. The latter are also compartments, but there is a passageway so that one can walk through the train, as in America. The compartment in which I started was full, but travelers kept getting out at the atations until there waa but one person left, a woman who wore a veli thick enough to conceal hey features. As soon às she and I were alone she began to show signs of illness. f asked ber if I could do anythjng for her, and she replied—in a coarse voice for a woman, I thought—asking me if I had any liquor. I told her I had not, whereupon she said that she had some very fine brandy which she had intended to make a present to her tnother, but Bhe must use it. Taking it from a handbag, she poured a little of it into a glasa she produced and drank it off. Then, suddenly remein bering me, she poured the rest of the liquor into the glass and handed it to me. "Drink it," she said. "My gift is spoiled." , "But it is more than I care for," I protested. "Drink what you like and throw the rest out of the window." I dkl not propose to throw away such good liquor and drank it aIL A few | minutes after I had done so I began to ,'i feel dlzzy aiìd the power to move or fé, speak leaving me. The woman at once ||discarded ali appearance of illness and nsked me how I liked her liquor. I could not reply, and when she was sat isiìed that I could not she threw off her feminine attire and appeared as a man. Then he took my traveling cap off my head and put it on bis own. His next act was to go through my pock ets till he found my passport, which he appropriated. His German s[>eeeh had been with a foreign accent, and now that he had taken my passport I suspected that he was a foreigner to the country trying to get out of it. I was eompletely helpless from the effeets of the liquor, which had been undoubtedly drugged. Nevei*theless, I was perfectly conscioua of ali that waa taking place. The man put hia woman's apparel under the cushion of the seat, and when the train stopped at the next station and the guarii unlocked the door of the com partment he got out and hurried away. I endeavored to teli the guard to stop him, but I was powerleas evento point to him. The door was again locked. and the train moved on. The effect of the drug did not laat long, and when I righted I found my self on a trahi leaving Germany and required to show a passport that I did not have. I was not permitted to re mato undisturb€*d, for later on in the day, when the train stopped, a couple of German officiala appeared at the door of my compartment, evidently looking for some one. They pounced upon me and demanded my passport. I told them how I had been robbed of it, and I had but half flnished my story when one of them exclaimed, "He is our man!" Then they ordered me to produce any secret papere I had about me. I protested, and they searched me. It was evident that they were after a spy, and I believed that he was the man who had drugged me and taken my passport. They took me out of the train, and we board ed one going to Berlin. When we reached the capital I was taken before an offlcer and ques tioned. I did not correspond with the deeeription he had of the spy, and 1 heard him teli my captors that they had made a inistake, I was able to produce lettera received from America aud told him that if he would porrai t Ujp to communicate with the American eimbaasy, where my passport had beeti viseti J eouid further substantinte my identity. They were about to cali a messenger for this purpose when a telegnim was received stating tiiat a man had been arrested "uith military information on his person and hearing the passport of an American, the name being the one 1 had given. This proved my case, but ì was held till the spy was brought to Berlin and to the office where I was de taìned. As soon as I saw him I recogr nized him for the man who had drug ged me. He was a Frenchman and had gathered a lot of military Informa tion. There was not much formality about such matters, and instead of trying th > spy the officer who examined him tol 1 his cai>tors to take him away. I ran cieri that this was an order to shoot him. naving recovered my passport, 1 made nnother attempt to leave th? country. This time I accepted no in vitation either to drink or to smoke, but pursued my way without a word to or from any one except offlcials. I worked my way through Belgium to Ostend. crossed the channel and after much delay in London found passage for Netv York. E»*vsgKa»& ! FaCtS Versus I !

A Reunion By BARBARA PHIPPS X li I was a very little girl at the tlme, bat a great sorww or a greot happinee* will impress itself on tbe mlnd of a very young child so strongly that it will never be forgotten. Mother dled, and my brother Jimmie was taken away by a lady, wliile I was placed in aii orphan asylum. However. this lugubrious beginulng was tbe harbinger of a life of ease and comfort In tiine I vas adopted 4>y a wealthy couple and treated as affec tionately. as much lavished UIKHI me, as if I had beea their real daughter. I was given a liberal education and as many aecomplishments as I had a fit ness for. Then I was "brought out" in tbe most approK'ed fashion and entered society as a young lady. One summer a girl friend of mine, the daughter of Major Shelbourn© of the army, invited me to visit ber at her father's post in what was then Indian country, l had seen onough of society to teli me of its hollowness. insincerity, selflslmess ami bargain and sale In the matter of favor, aiul it oeeurrod to me that I would llnd something more sat- Isfying iu one of ilioye army posts that had l>ccn destribed to me as consti tutina a largo famiìy. I went to Fort Tonikins and found things very much as they had been described to me. One day several of the younger offl cere and tlie daughters of the older ones went on a picnic. I learnedf* be fore starting that the major command- Ing objected to our going, but I dld not bear why. I learned soon enongh, to my coet The Indiaus had for some time been very unruly, and while we were leaving the fort they were leav ing their reservation, murderlng and pilfering as they proceeded. We liad gone to a stream at the foot of a mountain range wooded on Ita banks and, entering a spot well shad ed, hnd partaken of our luncheou when a soldier rode up and told us thnt he had been sent to Inforni us of the In dian situatiou and that we must re turn lmmedlateTy. But before we could collect our paraphetnalia and get Inter the mule wagon that had brought ua one of the party saw several Indiana riding hard to cut us off. The major had sent slx mouuted men with us for our protectlon. There were three lleutenants and the man ' who had come to warn us. The offi cerà held a quick consultatlon and de cided to ascend a ravine in the moun tain where we could the better defend ourselves and not attempt at once to reach the fort. The ravine lay but a short distance on tlie other side of the stream, which we crossed In the wagon and were soon In & posJtlor* where we could hide behlnd rocka r which also furnished a defense from which to Are. I shall only speak of our defense by a few brave rnen against sederai ttme» their number of Indiana so far as to show that the soldlers fought skill fully and wlth sufficient knowledge ot Indiau warfare to keep the savages at bay. One of the men being severe!y wounded, I took up hls carbine and, climbing to a rock higher up and at the side, wbere I saw Indiane trying to get around us, endea'vored to pick them off. I was followed by one of the privates, who told me that I should take more care to eoneeal my persoli or I would be hit. I didn't nsk him why he had come to help me, «nppog lng that he saw the dauger of being taken in the rear as I had seen it- We two kept widening the dlstance between us and our party, because the Indians kept circllng to the side In an efTort to get past usto our rear. Then suddenly we saw an Indian l>etween us and our friends. I saw by the expression on tha soi dier's face that we were in terrible danger. He swept hls eye about ua for a positlon of defense and found one in a crevice between two rocks where we could not be attacked et cept from the front Another rock formed a rampart before a part of the space into which we retreated. My companion told me to croach down be hind this rock. I refused tni he told me that I could shoot from there, and at the game tlme ha took a positlon beai de me. It seemed half a day—lt may bave* been an hour—that we defeaded ocir selves from the Indiana who endeavor ed to kill or capture us. My compan ion laid krw a number of them. Ifi rad at several, but hit only one—that te, so far as I knew. After awhile we saw aerosa the level plain a troop of cavalry coming from the fort, and the Indians scurried away. My llfe had been saved by the pri vate who had followed me. Togetbar we return ed to the party, and he m ceived the thanks of the officerà for what he had done. WelL, as soon as we returoed to the camp I made inquiries concernlng my dellverer. The major sent for hlm, saying to him when he arrived that I desfred to thank him for havlng saved my lite. I did the thanking and, be lieving that my foster father woald send him a substantial present, asked him his name. '•James Waterhouse.** he replied. "Ilare you a middle name?" I asked, "I don't know. I fame out of an orphan asylum. and tbèy called me Jim Waterhouae." "You are my brother," I said and, running toward him. put my arma about him. **Axe you my Elster A della 7' M I am." My foster father Jimmie out of the army and gave him a place 121 hlf counting house.
