There was at the time no vuauiy very near him, and ho went /or bin daughter, Hon la, to come frotu Moscow to viwlt him Hut the pan European war wan on, and there might be lighting at any mo ment. So the colonel wrote hi* daugh ter to come with an little, baggage an possible and U? ready to get buck at short notl? e. v When Son la cauie she wan escorted by Puul Schumsky, a citizen. "J>ldn't 1 write you," said thy colo uel, "yot to bring any u?eless hag gage V" "Yea, papa." "Then what did you brlnn that Weakling fur?" "Well, ho offered to I>e my protector, aud 1"? , "Protector! l>o you uupi>osc that whippersuapper could protect any one? Why, he'd need a nuwe himself "If ho needs one I'll take care of him." The very next day the colonels at tention was diverted from Sehinnsky to an attack of tho enemy( He had barely time to tell his daughter to got. back to Moscow as fast as|i?*?lbleu. when he was called upon to hend hN regiment In battle. The Russian position was on a low ridge that rose above the surrounding country. The Germans straightway began to make a pair of pincers of tliernselveH, their favorite strategy, driving In the Russian thinks. When they had their enemy in the shape (*' u horseshoe they proceeded to drive in tho heels and soon cut otf the Russian communications. Colonel Ullenil i f. realizing that unless be could I <? re euforix'd hi* command would be <ap tured, was In despair, lie sent several officers to the rear to beg for sirror, but none of theui got through. When ho was meditating surrender He told that a man in citizen's dress had come from the rear aud desired to speak with him. Then who should ap pear but Paul Srhuinsky, his clothes half torn off bis back, dirty, begrimed with powder and bleeding. "Great Scott!" cried the colonel. "How did you got through?" "Fought my way." "With a message?" "Yes, colonel." "A promise of re-enforcementsV "No, colonel." "Then what in thunder is it?" "I proposed marriage to your daugh ter, and she referred me to you." A group ot' ollicers standing about broke into a laugh. The colonel looked as if lie didn't know whether to laugh or t" < ut tin- citizen down with his sword. Presently an idea struck him. ? Since you have come through, may be yi u enn j;o baek." I i a n t r\ .*" "Well, I.a-'k ;tiul semi nit* re-en forcemcnt> if Jim succeed you shall have my daughter."

A <?ermaii horseman saw him and gave ehase. The ground was rough. and Sehumsky was a better Jumper than the horse. Then he sprint ed over a Held, rifles popping at hlin on both >ides. lie fell, but got up and went on. tliis time with a limp. I'hlans started for him.' but he led them Into a strip of timber, emerging on tho other side, while they remained In the wood. Again he fell, and when lie arose he limped some luoro. Final ly lie disappeared from view in the dis tance and was not seen a^uin. The colonel, who had been watching him through a pair of glasses, lowered them and muttered: "if he gets us succor he can have Sonia, and I'd give him a dozen other daughters if I had them. Thank heav en, night is coming on: The enemy can't drive us to the wall before morn ing." Soon after daylight the sound of fir ing was heard In the Kussian rear, and after awhile a force was seen constituting a wedge that was driving upart the heels of the (ierman horse shoe. The approaching line advanced rapidly, and the colonel, mounting his horse, rode to meet It There he found the officer in command, who was be hig piloted W.v I'aul Sehumsky. Paul cut a ridiculous figure. lie wore a derby hat. a bobtail eo?it and spats over Ills sho^s. "I've won her, colonel!" he said en thusiastically, waving his hat. The colonel gave lilm a look of min gled admiration, contempt and grati tude. "Yes. you've won," he said In a snarling tone, "but go and get off that toggery and put yourself Into a uni form before I go back 011 my word." With that he turned to the officer commanding the re-enforcements for consultation. The result was that the Germans were driven off nnd Colonel niendorf's regiment was saved from capture. Before the colonel would permit the marriage between Sehumsky and hi* da tighter Sehumsky was forced to en list and was soon after promoted to a commission. It seems that 8onla, who had been bothered with his begging her to say yea. In order to get rid of him, h?d told him to go ask her father, never dreaming that he would do so. FTowever. her father would not hear of' her going back on her word, and she Anally willingly married the man who had saved the regiment.

The order Issued today means that about l'j.noo men will reach each of the 1(1 cantonments soon after Sep tember 5. The.v will llrst be examin ed physically by army doctors, and finally accepted or rejected. This will take some time and the men will have to be furnished with temporary quarters and rationed while awaiting examination. If the full quota were assembled at one time, ureal confus ion would result. ^ Presumably the first Increment will nave been organized /Into skeleton companies, batallions or regiments before the second arrlxes. The new comers can be quickly absorbed by a going concern In that-sense. and the third lot i-mi_.be taken into the war machinery with even .ess disturbance. In farming comma:! t!<s local hourl will arrange the lists of those to till the tirst icrement with local crop conditions in mind. Harvesting is in progress in many sections. Hrafted men dimmed in that work, who oth erwise would go with the first third" of the district quota, will be passed, over to the second or third as may be necessary.

Pro vost Marshal General C'rowder issued a supplemental ruling today holding, that iH't'sons should not be discharged | because of dependents resident abroad, j "The object of the law permitting a person to be discharged provided he has a person falling within any of the classes of depedeuts dependent upon him was to prevent such de pendents becomimr charges upon the \merii-aii people." the rulinir says. "A <I?? |h-ii<li? 111 residing abro til could not become ;i charge."

United States can draw the sin ews of war. First Is the fixed prop erty of the nation. This represents our farms, factories, mines, railways and all other pro|M<rty including ac eiimulnted savings. From the eorpns or body of none of these, except the accumulated savings, will the -govern ment obtain war funds, and even from the accumulated savings it will draw a relatively small portion. These ac cumulated savings are Invested In In dustries and business which are acces sary to the country's, welfare and pros* perlty and it Is only that portion of these savings which are seeking 1 li ves t men t that the govermueitt will re ceive In exchange for bonds.
