HUNTING A
SPY
By DONALD CHAMBERUN
Shortly before tie war broke oat In
the Balkans between the Turks and
the allies I left Adrianople one even
ing about dark for Belgrade. There
was one passenger In the compartment
besides myself, and I noticed that
while waiting for the train to start he
was very ill at ease. When the guard
shut and locked the door he seemed
to breathe easier, but was still evi
dently Impatient for the train to be
off. When at last It began to roll out
of the station he put his head out of
the window eagerly.
Following the direction of his eyes 1
saw a man, whom I knew to be a Turk
by his fez, running for the train. Be
ran like a deer, my fellow passenger
watching him breathlessly. The latter
occupied the window so that I could
not see if the Turk caught the train,
but presently my companion fell back
gasping.
"Lost!" he moaned.
I had some knowledge of one or two
of the many languages spoken in the
Balkans, so that I understood the
word. I also spoke some French and
German and tried the man in both,
getting an understanding in the latter
tongue.
"What is your trouble?" I asked.
"Are you German?" he asked instead
of replying. ,
"No; American."
"Oh, American. You then are a lov
er of liberty. Certainly you have no
sympathy with Turks. I am doomed.
I have been in Adrianople spying on
the fortifications. I was arrested, and
drawings were found on me. I was
sentenced to death. While waiting to
be executed I caught my guard nap
ping and escaped. I hoped to get away
by this train, but this man, in whose
charge I was placed, will go through
the train when It stops and recov
er me."
Then, taking out a pencil and tear
ing a bit of paper from an old letter,
he Trrote his name and address on it
and handed it to me.
"When you reach Sofia," he contin
ued, "will you tell my wife what 1
have told you and what follows? Bay
that my Inst thoughts were of her and
our dear children."
"If you ore sure to be executed, why
not take the chance of Jumping from'
the train?"
"I am going to do that, but death Is
as sure as if I suffered myself to be
taken back to Adrianople."
"You may strike soft ground."
By the time I had spoken the word?
he was out on the footboard. I put
my head out through the window and
saw his dim figure not far fom it It
was very dark. Presently I ceased tc
see him and believed that he bad
Jumped.
The first stop the train made was al
Tchlvmen, which we reached In about
halt an hour after the spy had disap
peared. The guard unlocked the door,
but would not let me alight till aftet
the compartment had been examined
by the man whom I had seen running
for the train. As soon as be had pass
ed I stepped down on to the platform
and followed him to see if be got hit
quarry. lie did not find blm, and the
train moved on.
I wondered what bad become of the
spy. He must nave jumped or be
would have been found on the train.
Nearly all the passengers were Turks,
and I noticed the moment I alighted
that there was a chain of men wear
ing fezies surrounding the train, prob
ably passengers who bad volunteered
to help the official In bis efforts to ar
rest the spy.
Before we passed over the Turkish
line to enter eastern Roumella th
train stopped for a long while, and 1
felt sure that It was for the purpose
of making a final search for the Bpy
In time we started on and in a few
minutes were among a different nation
allty. "What a pity," I said to myself.
"that the man could not have conceal
ed blinself on the train till we bad
passed the border! In that case be
would have been safe."
The first stop we made In Roumelin
was at Hermanl. There I alighted to
stretch my legs, slowly walking toward
the forward end of the train. I taw

am the spy."
Then In the blackened feature I ree-
gnlxed the man with whom I bad
sympathized.
. "Is It you, and silver 1 asked. .
"Yea It Is I. and very much alive."
"How did yon do it?"
"I walked forward on the footboard
tin I reached the locomotive tender.
Climbing over the coal I told the en
gineer, who waa a Servian, my story,
lie suggested that since the train
would be searched I bad better bid
under the coal. So 1 lay down on the
floor of the tender, and tbey covered
me with the coal."
When we reached Sofia nothing

MUNICIPAL RED TAPE.
' J think every one will agree
that there baa been an awaken
ing all over the country to the
Inefficiency of the old forms of
municipal government and to the
fact that we ourselves, the
voters, made the conditions what
they are. We may Ue dissatis
fied at what la being accom
plished; but, as a matter of fact,
we are responsible. We have
allowed innumerable laws and
statutes to be passed which sur
round municipal work with a net
work of red tape, making prog
ress and efficiency Impossible.
We, to protect our communities
and ourselves as we thought
allowed these laws to be passed,
and there we ended our interest
In municipal affairs. We elected
people to office and then hamper
ed them, then condemned them.
I have thought, since I have been
In municipal work, that If It was
possible to get one of these pub
lic Jobs In the open, where we
could handle It as our big busi
nesses are bandied, most remark
able ahowlngs could be made.
Unfortunately, however, It la Im
possible, due to the network of
laws and the attitude of the peo
ple, to get efficiency rapidly.

PRACTICAL CIVICS TAUGHT.
Courses Given to High School Boys In
J Their First Year.
Because the usual course In civics
Is given the last or next to the last
year in high schools, when only a frac
tion of the original classes Is left, a
high school In a Pennsylvania city Is
giving a course In practical citizenship
to Its first year students. Samuel H.
Ziegler contributes an article on this
innovation to the American City, in
which he says:
"In the organization of the work of
this department several propositions
were kept in mind.
"First The ordinary citizen, im
mersed In the task of caring for bis
business and providing for his family,

At the Family Hotel.
The wide diversity of nursery meth
ods In this country is nowhere more
noticeable than at the family hotel.
Here one sees children, who. It they
were not born with the idea that cour
teous attention should be accorded their
elders, have had this truth Instilled
Into them so ea.-'v that it seems a port
of them.
In a certain family hotel one table
exhibits two girls. In the rosy flush
of their teens, accompanied by a moth
er to whom they pay delightful little
attentions. Tbey remain standing un
til she Is seated, or if her entrance to
the dining room has been delayed, they
always rise as she draws near.
Equally pleasant to watch is the de
votion of a very fat, chubby, ten-year-old
Son to his mother. The glorious
appetite of youth drives him to the
table the minute the meal is served,
but the entrance of bis mother is the
signal for ber son's graceful drawing
out of her chair, a service performed
with the manner of a Chesterfield.
It is also refreshing to watch a
third table, at which a father anffson
the latter probably In his thirties,
though he looks like a younger broth
ertake their meals. The younger man
always stands until bis father is seat
ed and never falls to rise should the
father be the lost to enter the room.
When the meal is over he may be ob
served to step aside to allow the older
man to precede him. He has done
this from a mere child, and It has now
become a part of bis being.
Too Much Solicitude.
It Is not easy to be a good hostess,
especially a good tea party hostess.
There are many little things to re
member. The hostess wishes guests to enjoy
the good things, but solicitude can be
overdone.
The writer once went to a tea where
the hostess overdid It badly. She must
have thought that her guests had had
nothing to eat for days by the- way
she pressed sandwiches and buns, tea,
and more cups of tea, on them.
"No,, thank' you," and "Eeally,
thanks, I have had a huge tea," and
the like assurances were useless. The
kind hostess continued offering mora

"Won't you have a little more?" and
"Do try one of these hot bunst" to Mrs.

gives at present little thought to civic
problems. Good water, sewage dis
posal, parks, playgrounds, treatment of
vacant lots, paving, street cleaning,
economy of administration, the city
beautiful and all other civic problems
are somebody else'a business.
"Second. For this reason principally
the government of American cities has
many defects; officials are chosen no1
for their fitness, but for their political
availability; good officials rarely rt
celv credit for what they do, and bm
onee are rarely censured. v
ThlrA-Boya at the age of thirtee

Guest Room Suppliea.
Nothing Is more disconcerting to
guests than a guest room that la not
well furnished.- Of course every one Is
supposed to carry bis own toilet arti
cles wltb blm, excepting the chance or
unexpected visitor who comes unpre
pared.
But equally, of jcourse, the hostess
should not take individual toilet arti
cles for granted, and she should if pos
sible furnish her pretty guest room
dressing table with an adequate sup
ply. Bone, celluloid or ivory, In white,
Is the best material for these articles,
