service of the government
They were standing In the road, not
knowing what to do. when it man
came rhliug on horseback. Seeing two
Kir I a looking as forlorn tin a couple ot
chickens In a shower, he drew rein and
usked them In German If there was
anything he could do for them They
spoke the language tolerably well and
told him what had happened lie look
ed shout him for a place where they
might he temporarily housed and said
"The sch loss Is the nearest abode
I think you had better go there The
count has Joined his command, but his
mother, the countess, will be at home
and I am sure will welcome luckless
strangers."
The glils thanked the speaker and
: resolved to take his advice. Turning
in at the gateway of tho crounds. tliev
ascended to tho entrance of thoschloss
No one being J here, they passed
through it and entered a court. An
aniomohile was the only movable artl
cle in sight. and as they approached It
a living object crawled from under It
He was clad In overalls and begrimed
lie rose and. facing the girls, looked at
them Inquiringly
They told their storv and said they
wished to go to France He told then)
! that he was quite sure the countess
would welcome them He was en
dea voting to get the automobile In or
derthnllt might take him to Wurttem
berg. He would take thetn there, and
' from Wuittemberg they might tlnd con
veyance to Paris. This suited them ex
actly. The man said thai be was not
tit to accompany them, but pointed to a
door at which they might >i?bi admit
lance to the schloss. They went to
the door, rang a bell, and a maid ap
pen red
"We were told." said one of them
?'by the chauffeur that If we applied
at this door we might see the countess
Please tell her fb?t two American girl?
whose cur has been taken by the go^
eminent would be grateful for shelter
till they can go forward on their jout
ney." "
The maid asked them to enter anu.
leaving them in a reception room
went away. Presently she returned
and led them to n room where a white
beaded old lady received them and in
vited them to be her guests as long as
they found It convenient.
They told her that they had seen In
tboTonrtTB man working on au uulo
mobile who was Intending to go to
Wurttemberg and had offered to take
them with him. At this moment a
voice called from above. "Mother!
and the old lady excused herself and
left the room. Presently she returned
and said that the auto would go to
Wurttemberg the next morning and
she did not doubt that from there they
would be able to make their way to
Paris. They were shown to a room by
the maid and when they had made a
toilet returned to the drawing room.
"I have heard," said one of the girls,
"that you have parted with your son.
who has gone to join the army. It
must be hard to send him away under
such circumstances."
"Indeed it Is." replied the countess.
The girls supped With the countess
and ate a hearty meal, for they were
hungry. In the early evening they
chatted with their hostess, but were
tired and went early to their rooms,
where they slept as soundly as if they
had not been dispossessed of their
only means of conveyance.
The morning was bright, but hot.
They breakfasted with the countess,
and after breakfast sho disappeared
for an hour, when the maid announced
that the auto was ready and led them
to a porte-cochere where it stood. The
countess was there with a man in uni
form. He turned as they approached,
and they recognized him whom they,
bad mistaken for a chauffeur.

My chauffeur was summoned two days
ago to Join his regiment leaving me
with an auto needing sepairs and no
one but myself to repair It We who
depend upon servants do not realize
how much we are indebted to them
till they are anatched away from us."'
The girls looked at each other and
smiled. They had miataken a count
for a chauffeur, and when they had
referred to him a* such to his mother
be had doubtless followed them into
the house by another entrance and on
hearing their words had called her
out and aaked her to leave them In
their mistake.
. The ride to Wurttemberg proved sn
' enjoyable one. and before It was fln

NOT MUCH MONEY IN POETRY
Price# Paid to Writer# Have Not '
Greatly Advanced With 1 1? In
creasing Popularity.
In this day of revival of poetry there ,
may bo u natural curiosity to know
whether prices for poetry have gone
up In proportion to t ho apparent pop
ularity I ant afraid not, remarks a
writer in the liuffalo Bx press. Masters
did not not a cent for this magazine
publication of the Spoon river poo inn,
byt ho will get a few hundred dollars'
royalty from the hook and since its
success 1 understand ho has-been paid
an much as $ l ot> for a single poem by
a New York weekly. The usual price
Is $1 a lino, or $25 for a very short
poem And the "Spoon River Anthol
ogy'' in the most talked about book in
America today, either poetry or fiction.
The London Times paid Kipling $500
for the "Recessional," and the same
for other poems at various times.
Walt Mason apparently is making
more money out of poetry than any
other man in America today. Ho
writes a poem every day in tho year
for a newspaper syndicate, and in a
rocont interview he Bays he is paid
$12 each on a yearly contract, which
Mr, Howolls in tho Editor's Easy Chair
figures out to bo $3,578 or thereabouts
a year. Mason says tho most he ever
mado In one month is $875.
It was Moore and llyron who got
tho really big prices for poetry, In
the days when tho public gave the hon
ors to long, storyliko volumes, such as
"Lalla liookh," for which Moore re
ceived 3,000 guineas, or about $15,000.
Tennyson was said to |iave boon paid
$20,000 a year by Moxon for his poetic
output, and JameB Whitcomb lllloy
was offered $10,000 a year for his. The
Now York Ledger paid Longfellow
$5,000 for "Tho Hahging of the Crane."
TELLS ADVENTURE IN RHYME
English Airman Drops Into' Poetry In
Describing Perilous Trip Over
Enemy's Lines,
In place of tho colorless account of
an aerial voyage by ono of tho many
cheery British pilots, tho Times of
Loudon publishes tho following with
tho suggestion that cultivation of tho
muse may bo inspired by oiio'b prox
imity to higher things.
We quotQ a specimen of tho pilot's
poetic expression:
"The day was fine and tho air was
; still, and ovnrythlng1 went wc'l until
tho Archibalds began to flash, and
deafen mo with noisome crash. I hid
my head, I stopped my ears in vain
attempts to calm my fears; I whistled
every tune I knew, and tried to think
It wasn't true. Then came a pause ?
we'd passed the zone; in fear I fin
gered every bone. ,i ? ?
"Then lo! a smilb o'erspread my
face, for every bone was in its place.
So things went on; we ran our course,
and turned for home no whit the
-worse, until three Hunlete on our stern
constrained us, like the worm, to turn.
Then bullets whizzed and bullets flow
(as bullets very often do), whHe pilots
showed their brilliant nerve with hawk
like swoop and 'orrid swerve."
Japanese Cotton Industry.
The export of cotton piece goods
from Japan has greatly increased
since the war, according to the British
consul at Osaka. The mills are re
ported to have made a big profit in the
sale of shirtings and drills. From May,
1915, the diminution in stocks in
Shanghai created a demand for Japa
nese goods, which Increased steadily
during the year. The mills, however,
adopting the view that prices would go
higher, showed no anxiety to push
sales. This attitude appears to have
been justified by results. It is reported
that at the beginning of 1916 the mills
were In the comfortable position of
having sold their output for six months
ahead, and there is a general impres
sion that the position thus gained in
the ootton piece goods markets of
China and India is one which will be
held.
Cat's Dally Lunch a 8nake.
Evidently considering a day incom

snake meat, a cat belonging to Charles
Shulte has set a record for snake catch
ing The Shults residence, which is
near the Indian school grounds, has
been a .center for snakes recently.
About a week ago the cat brought
