Confessions
of a Spy.....
j&tQCURIOUS iight has been j
ysr )& thrown upon the compli- !
? l\ O cated ramifications in j
Jfi France of the German mil
itary spy system by the arrest
in Brussels on a minor charge of
blackmailing of the French soldier.
Several weeks ago Pelissier, who enl
joyed to a remarkable degree the confidence
of his officers, disappeared from
Avignon, where he was serving as a
private in the-First Company of the
Fifty-eighth Infantry Regiment, and
shortly afterward a number of impor- j
taut documents were missing from the
bureau of the chief of the regimental
staff, including the plans for the mobilization
of the French army on the
Alpine frontier. That these documents
were of real importance is shown by
' the fact that considerable alterations
have since had to be made in the organization
of the Alpine defenses,
while the price that the German agent
paid for them exceeded $G000.
Pelissier, who is the son of respectable
parents and a native of the south
of France, had a bad military record,
and for a previous act of desertion had
served for a number of years in the
dreaded compagnie de discipline at
Biribi, a black sheep corps, composed
exclusively of convicts and deserters,
who, in the torrid climate of Algeria,
lead the life of slaves, being employed
on the most unhealthful and burdensome
tasks and punished with cruelest
severity at the slightest sign of revolt.
This experience may have completed
the demoralization of Pelissier, whose
behavior, however, was so good as
quickly to obtain for him a promotion
to the rank of first-class soldier in an
ordinary marching regiment. Frank
in appearance, smart at ms duties ana i
exceptionally well spoken. Pelissier |
became such a favorite with his su- J
periors that, though in view of his j
shady past he could not get a stripe, j
he acquired the nickname of the "lit- I
tie captain," and was not only con- I
# stantly in receipt of special favors for I
himself, but able to obtain them for I
his comrades.
At this juncture he made the acquaintance.
in a cafe at Avignon, of a
well dressed and well mannered individual
named Muller, who appeared to j
take a great fancy to him, treated him {
to quantities of drink, encouraged him j
to talk, and finally, on the strength of !
being the correspondent of an illus- j
trated paper, engaged him as a copyist i
?a task for which his military duties
left him sufficient leisure. Muller was
in reality the head of a German military
spy. agency, with his headquarters
in the Rue Banning, in Brussels,
but the*young soldier did not know this
at first, and merely marveled at the
handsome payment which he received
for copying out articles of no apparent
significance.
Soon this new source of income
tempted him to indulge in expensive
OTnneoman+s \fnlloi- 1
adroitly, and he fell deeply in debt.
Muller, who knew that Pelissier had
been in trouble before, now tempted
him with larger sums, and told him
plainly that he was seeking for information
on technical military topics.
The web which ,be spun about the
French soldier's conscience tightened
its toils almost imperceptibly. An attractive
young womau appeared upon
the scene, introduced by Muller, and
Pelissier quickly fell a victim to her
charms. He little guessed that she,
too, was an agent of the German Intelligence
Department Her extravagant ,
tastes, which he endeavored to satisfy, 1
plunged him deeper and deeper in debt
He went to Muller and begged for an <
Immediate loan of $100. Muller
( promptly threw off the mask. "I can
give you nothing more," he said, "unless
you consent to procure for me copj,
ies of documents marked 'Confidential.' j
which are locked up in the office of
your regimental staff."
"But then you are a spy," exclaimed
Pelissier, in horror." "You have been
a long time finding that out," was the
cynical reply. "And, suppose I denounce
you," said the soldier. "I
should be far away by then," returned
Muller, "and in the meanwhile I should
let your colonel know of the documents
you have already furnished, and that
means?back to Biribi."
Pelissier, according to his own account,
thus found himself unable to
recede. At the bidding of his pitiless
taskmaster he took impressions of the
locks in the bureau of the regimental
staff ani stole document after document,
replacing them after they had
beei*coFied by Muller. He rarely had
time to ascertain their contents. Only
once was he able to make a selection,
and this was when he secured, with
the a.c*istanee of another soldier.
Bez, whom he had corrupted and who
' has sirce confessed and been con'
demned, the plan of the French Alpine
defenses and details of French espionage
in Italy.
He then deserted and fled to Geneva,
subsequently meeting Muller at Milan,
where $1000 was paid to him to complete
the price of his treason. Muller
now urged Ftfiissier to join him as a
profession^ spy, and introduced him
to an officer of the German General
Staff at Cologne, painting his future in
glowing colors.
* Pelis^ier would have been, on his
own showing, well fitted for this role,
having been a clown and an actor at
village jCiirs and being an adept in. the
art of disguising himself. But he professed
repugnance, and declared his intention
of enlisting under a false name
in the Legion Etrangere, aifd seeking
to redeem his crime by some act of heroism.
Instead erf this, however, he be'*
came-ln voiced in a charge of trying to
blackmafl a well-known actress in
Brussels and was arrested the day after
he had completed a confession of
his trefisMi to a French journalist.? |

CURE FOR TIGHT DOORS.
How You May Open Dresser Drawers
When They Stick.
"Patrcr.s come to me every day and
say that the drawers of dressers and ;
other furniture stick fast and cannot {
be opened or shut without great diffi- j
culty," said the "complaint man" in j
a downtown furniture store. "This
is a trouble with much furniture,
especially common in the spring
"What do we do in such cases?
We simply tell the customers to wet
the surface of a bar of common laundry
soap a:id rub it firmly over the
parts 01" the wood that stick. This
makes the surface smooth and slippery,
and in nearly all cases the
drawer will slide easily, especially
after it has been opened and shut a i
few times.
"This also is valuable with doors,:
which, in new flats, are likely to set-'
tie or are apt to scrape at the top as j
the building setttes. Just use soap
on them and save the trouble of call-j
ing In a carpenter, who will plane the ;
varnish off.
"China cabinet doors, with curved j
glass, cause us a lot of trouble, but
most of the tightness can be reme-!
died by the use of soap and a few j
applications of sandpaper."
The furniture man gave another
"helpful hint."
"If mission furniture, with the dull j
finish, loses its smooth surface and
characteristic waxy appearance," he
said, "do not despair and send it to
the renovated. Take a pound cake of
mmmnn floor wax and rub it over
the surface until the finish is restored.
If you have no floor wax use
beeswax, and if you prefer something
made especiaHy for the purpose you
can buy liquid preparations, one of
which will remove the old finish, leav-,
ing the table top or other object
ready for the application of the other
substance, which will duplicate the
original finish."
DRAWING THE LINE.
"I like to believe that all men . are I
honest," said the moralizer.
"Same here," rejoined the demoralizer;
"still, I always draw the line at I
taking the same patent medicine for
liver complaint that I use for toothache,
no matter how the label reads."

Nervous exhaustion invites disease
This statement is the positive truth.
When everything becomes a burden
and you cannot walk a few blocks without
excessive fatigue, and you break
out into perspiration easily, and your
face flushes, and you grow excited and
shaky at the least provocation, and
you cannot bear to be crossed in anything,
you are in danger; your nerves
have given out; you need building up
at once! To build up woman's nervous
system and during- the period of
change of life we know of bo better
medicine than Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. He*e is an
illustration. Mrs. Mary L. Koehne, 371
Garfield Avenue, Chicago, 111., writes:
44 I have used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
j Compound for rears in my family and it
i never disappoints; so when I felt tnat I was
nearing'the'change of life I commenced treatment
with it I took in sill about six bottle?
and it did me a great deal of good. It
slopped my dizzy spells, pains in my back
ana the headaches with which I had suffered
for months before taking the Compound. I
teel that if it had not been for this great medicine
for women that I should not have been
alive to-dav. It is splendid for women, old or
young, and will surely cure all female disorders."
