Levisohn | The lieutenant’s great-great-grandfath- er had fallen at Leipsic, but the sword had helped mightily to free Germany in the days of her oppres- sion. And it was said that by reason of its glory no dishonor could befall the man who wore it. Thus much tradition pronounced, and, since the wearer had passed through many an escapade with impunity, tradition flourished. The case of Minna, the little variety actress, may be taken as a sample. The lieutenant was telling his com- rades about this over the wine table. She had been desperately in love with him, and her betrayal was quite ruth- less and cold-blooded on the lieuten- ant's part. When she reminded him of his promise he laughed at ber and offered her five hundred marks to ac- cept an offer which she had had to go to New York with a touring com- pany. In her despair she had gone to the colonel and an inquiry had been held. The lieutenant still winced at the recollection of the colonel's words. “An officer who married an actress cannot remain in the army, Herr Lieu- tenant,” he said. “But if you remain, though you be an officer, your com- rades will not call you a gentleman.” | He gave him back his sword, and the lieutenant sallied out of his officer’s headquarters with drooping plumes. But he had quite recovered Al S W Every Officer Knew That Famous Sword. over the wine, and he was cursing fluency. ed. “She has gone there and may that country ever continue to take Germany's dregs from the wine-cup of her affliction.” He tossed the dregs of his wine upon the floor and sat down, well pleased with his wit. Then he was aware that a short, stout, vulgar-look- ing man was standing over him, his card in his hand. On this the lieuten- ant read: Mr. William Schneider, Wool Merchant. New York and Berlin. The man removed the card and with a rapid movement possessed himself of the lieutenant's sword, placed it across his knee, and bent it until the point neared the hilt. The other offi- cers, who had risen as if to run the fellow through, drew back in dismay. If the steel snapped it would cost the lieutenant his commission. “I was born in Germany,” said the merchant, “but [ am an American, and this fellow has made me ashamed for PR el S B S e e his colonel and all his enemies with | “And here’s to America,” he shout-| act of graceful homage.

Schneider looked round. Behind him stood the lieutenant, holding a leveled pistol at his head. “You're going to die now,” he snarl- ed. “You robbed me of my sword and my honor and I'm going to kill you like a dog.” “You act like a dog,” said Schnel der pleasantly, and his elbow, gliding under the projecting drawer of the desk, struck the lieutenant in the ribs.

Then Schneider “You've never had a thrashing, you cur; that's what's the matter with | you,” he shouted, and with each word his fist landed on the lieutenant’s face or body. Presently he grew tired of his diversion. He looked at the groan- ing man on the door. “Hey! Was you ever in the wool ’ ?—-5-________—'——_——_—————————-—1‘—*—: “Business in Germany s good,” ho!

He merely changes his name, his clothes and his address, and if he does not provoke feminine curiosity he is as safe in London as he would be in the desert of the Sahara. f The best proof of this will be found in the fact that on the day that J.

I said that the lieutenant told me this story. Put the rest of it T had from a friend of the colonel of Schmitz's former regiment.

Then ! one realizes with a start of surprise that somewhere about 20,000 men and ' women disappear every year within that puzzling conglomeration of towns and cities to which is given the magio name of ‘London.’” An outcry was ralsed over the disap- pearance of Antanas Vedegris, & wealthy Lithuanian, who came to Lon- don on business in January, and om the 17th of that month visited a friend, a priest, and has not been seen since.

He had about $10,000 in his possession and tacllities for obtaining more money if ficer, now working for an army tailor. «“‘Show him in, sald the colonel, and when he en‘ered we all gasped in astonishrient and 1 saw the col- | onel's face grow fiery red, and his| He walked out of the restaurant i han{! sought his (fwurd_ as though to and not a man staved him.
