Mint". When the clothing of Mrs. F. K. McCutchen, a prominent and popular young matron of Dalton, Ga., caught fire from an alcohol lamp, instead of becoming terrified ^nd losing her head, she calmly caught up a heavy rug and wrapped it around her. Finding that this did not check the flames, she ran to the bed and got between the mattresses, this smothering out the flames. It was only this wonderful self-possession while she suffering severely from the burns that saved her life. An examination of the burns showed that, while they were very painful, they were not of a serious nature, and she will suffer no disfigurement as a result.

AZARIAH TAYLOR, Gilbert, S. C. JOB WORK DONE HERE THE MILITARY SPY He Is an Important Factor In the Modern Game of War. WATCHES FOREIGN NATIONS. Learns Their Secret Plans and Reports Them to His Own Country?!f Caught He Is Repudiated by His Government and Suffers In Silence. Once in awhile an army or navy officer is arrested for spying or attempting to obtain military secrets from a foreign government Practically every government, including the United States, has a law which makes this a crime. Usually there is more or less secrecy about the officer's arrest and trial. His government repudiates his activity, and if he is sentenced to a term of imprisonment he receives no support or aid from his government Although they will not officially admit it, practically every government has a secret service of army and navy officers whose only duty is to travel in foreign countries to gather information which might be useful in time of war. Because of the shortage of officers the United States has only en- J gaged in this practice in time of actual hostilities. Military espionage is, of course, a delicate subject, and it would be a j gross violation of international propriety for any government to admit that it had secret agents spying on its neighbors. However, it is a well known fact that this system exists. In 1907 an American ambassador at a foreign capital reported to the state department that an army officer of the country to which he was accredited had been detailed to visit the American countries secretly to ascertain the strength of their forces. His mission was thwarted, however, by the information furnished by the ambassador. The military authorities of every first class power are constantly preparing for war. Naturally they are anxious to know what their neighbors are accomplishing in . military science. Here develops the function of the modern military spy. Fiction writers clothe the spy with a veil of mystery and a supernatural cleverness which enables him to get out of all dangerous pitfalls into which he falls. But the real flesh and blood spy is a different person. In these days of modern and scientific warfare the spy has become a technical expert who mv be thoroughly versed in every br^i.. b of his art He must be tactful and above all close mouthed. The procedure in sending out a spy is something like this: If the German government wishes information which it cannot get in the regular channels of information some officer is sent for. He is summoned to the war office to receive ins instructions. m iue tuse ui confidential work abroad he receives oral orders, so that he will not have any documentary evidence on his person to disclose his identity in case he gets into trouble. Having received his instructions he starts out, sometimes so secretly that even his family do not know where he is-going. Usually he speaks the language of the country to which he is bound. His real identity for the time being is forgotten, and he travels under an assumed name. If necessary he uses a disguise to cover his movements. If he is a good spy he i returns with the desired information, and no questions in regard to the methods he employed are asked. If he is captured while engaged in bis work he Is punished for attempting ro oo- t tain the military secrets of a fforeign government, and his own country lets him severely alone. The cipher code boohs by means of which diplomatic correspondence is carried on are often sought after by these secret agents. Several years ago the code booh of the American legation at Bucharest "disappeared." Its loss was reported to Secretary of State Elihu Root by telegraph. Mr. Root sent for the chief clerk of the depart ment "Mr. Smith," said the secretary, "the code book at Bucharest has been lost I believe it is about time for us to have a new code for our diplomatic correspondence." Some months later the missing book was offered for sale to the Japanese ambassador at St Petersburg, who purchased it for a small sum and as an act of comity turned it over to the American ambassador there. A young man several years ago appeared at the American embassy in Berlin and offered to sell to the ambassador a copy of the state department's code book which he said he had in his possession. He left several specimen pages to prove that his book was genuine. A comparison with the embassy's code book proved that he had the real code, but where he had obtained it was a mystery. The ambassador knew that a new code was in course of preparation and would shortly be distributed by the depart? ?-. .mt Tl-ift nffnn mnn nnll'toIrT U1CUU -LUC UI1C1 HU3 ^wuicij on the ground that the embassy had a code book of its own and did not need another.?New York Sun.
