Nothing of this kind happened, and the young woman was laughingly telling the story to her friends in Philadelphia after she ar rived. 1 - y - This is her story as she told it to her employers. , Her Adrentures. "We were all anxiour to get home, and I only crowded a lot of adverture nto a few days and hours. I was in Paris and was about through with my shopping when war was declared.

I persuaded the agent to write across my ticket 'Good for one passage on the American Line,' and hurried to the New York. - ' j "It was awful" but this 'could not have been so, because Miss Konkie smiled as she said it "and the; wo men were crowding and pushing to get to the ticket -wind' w, It was about five minutes to Railing time, so I just went to the gangplank and when an officer' stopped me I told" him my moth er and brother were. on board and that they had my ; tickets. " "Were they aboard?" the young wo man was asked. "I think not, because my mother was in Philadelphia when 1 left and she was here; today when I returned. The officer at the gangplank called an other officer, who said he would find my mother for me, bat I lost that of- cer in the crowd and I found a wo man- friend I had met in-Paris. I told her my trouble and she put me in her stateroom, where I hid until we left the dock. I did not dare come out un. til we had left Cherbourg, because I was afraid they might put me ashore. ' It Made Her Laugh, "After we left Chetfiourg" and Miss Konklo just had to laugh as she told of the last American trick she had played i on the officers of the New York "I went to tho purser and showed him my ticket. I. told him ev eryone on shipboard was laughing- at me and said my ticket Was not good. " Is this all you liavef ' the purser asked, as ho read the ticket for a pas sage of the Vaterland.

Nearly all of them have lost their bag gage, and in some instances families have become separated. When asked if she thought she would ever receive her baggage, Miss Konkie said she really did not , care, and then changed her mind and. added that of course, she did care, us it contained many things she must have before the Winter arrives. - . . $ ' '.
