The Americani Foo Mllowr e rou ife did not dream of danger and, when they reached bim and the officer de- manded to know who he was, where | be bad come from and where he wal! going, told him that he was a newspa- per correspondent looking for news. The officer, not being satisfied with this. informed bim that he must take him to | the headquarters of the General safety. Eggleston was conducted to a build- ing in a room of which an officer, sit- ting behind a desk, regarded him om- | inously. The Frenchman began ask- ing him questions in French, and Eg- gleston understood most of them, an- swering without besitation, but when his questioner branched into German the American showed plainly that be did not understand. It did not at once occur to him that the man suspected bim of being a German spy and was trying to catch him. I'resently Eggles- | ton bethought himself of his passport and produced it. This established the fact that he was an American, and he was thereafter treated with great con- sideration. Eggleston spent some time in Lille without being permitted to go near the armies. One day he was walking along |8 residence street when he heard a feminine voice say in French: “Monsieur, have you any news of the armies? Will they come this way! We are all packed ready to move.” Turning, he saw & pretty girl leaning out of a window. He had studied the French language at school and bad | picked up a Frenchman on the wny! across the Atlantic, with whom he had talked incessantly in order to gather enough French to enable him to get on in France. 80 he replied as best be could that he was profoundly ignorant ' of what was going on at the front; be was trying to get there, but thus far bad been unsuccessful. Noticing that his French was not of the best, the girl asked bim if he were not English. No: be was American. The English were very popular since they bad come to assist the French, but before that Americans were the best liked. An elderly lady came to the window, anx- fously asked for news and gave Eg gleston an invitation to come in. He accepted it. A glass of wine was brought out, and the three sat discuss- | ing the probablilities of the family bav- ' ing to leave their home and cart their belongings across country to the coast, as the Belgians were doing. ) And so it happened that Eggleston. instead of writing up the thunder of guns, the explosion of shells, the rattle of rifies, the groans of the wounded. spent several days dallying with a pret- ty girl. at the end of which time, since be did not go to the guns, the guns came to him, and while they were yet in the distance he helped his friends. | the Legires, to remove their effects—or a small portion of them—to a cart he secured for them and saw them on their way to the southward, after which he began to do some work as a war correspondent. Eggleston, keeping as near the re-, treating French and English lines as ba dared, preceded thelr retreat toward the capital. When the tide turned he was on the allies’ left flank and one day after witnessing some very hard fighting went into a town on the west bank of the river Oise to write up, copy and send it by courler to the coast to be forwarded. He was sitting in the writing room | of the anly hotel in the place when a ! man came In and, bending over him, began to peruse what he was writing. | | “Are you a censer?’ ased Eggleston, | looking up with a scowl. “I am an officer of the General Safety corps, monsleur. Who are you?" “] am an American newspaper cor- | respondent, writing an account of to- ! day’s battle and in a burry.” i ‘English " | | | | j0; American. “1 would like monsieur.” Eggeston took his passport from his threw it on the table and went writing. The man picked it up, opened it, read it and compared the description with the corre spared.” Eggleston, who did not understand a word of what was said to him, but recognized that it was in the German language, replied: “Nicht versteh.” This was quite enough for the Frenchman, who beld that the “nicht versteh” was full proof that ‘the sus- pect was a German. However, after deliberation they concluded to refer the case to some one higher up; so they placed Eggleston under guard for the night. But the allies were at that time too busy fighting for any one in authority to pay any attention to an individual i case. The next morning, no reply hav- ing been received concerning the sus- pected spy, his captors concluded that | it was best to take no risks, but shoot bim, though they did not lke to do so on an uncertainty, for in case he should be what he pretended they would be liable to get themselves into trouble. The roar of battle ut times sounded nearer and at times more distant. On one occasion when the guns were louder Eggleston's captors decided to remove him to a town farther west. During the journey they were about to cross a road running north and south and bad stopped to let a train + of refugees pass when among the lat- ter Eggleston caught a glimpse of the pretty girl he had met in Lille. “Mademoiselle!” he shouted. Louise Legire turned and, seeing the American who bad assisted the fam- seen a passport before, had it from curiosity. Eggleston’s captors a having intended to placently as if baving uninten!

FLORIDA NATIONAL VAULT CO BRIEF MOMENTS OF DREAMS Easy to Imagine Long Periods Elape- Iing During Naps of Short Duration. Both Bismarck and Pepys found that noise enhanced the value of & night's rest. Bismarck confided in his old age to an interviewer that he could “never sleep in Berlin at night when it s quiet but as soon as the noises begins about four o'clock in the morn- ing I can sleep a little and get my rest for the day.” Pepys records in his diary on Sep tember 23, 1661, that he slept at Well- ing “and still remember it that in all my life I never did pass a night with more epicurism of sleep; there being now and then a noise of people that waked me, and then it was a very rainy night, and then I was a little ‘weary, that what between waking and then sleeping again one after another, I never had so much conteat in all my life.” The probability that we get snatches of sleep at odd moments when we suppose ourselves to have remained continuously awake is supported by the phenomena of dreams. Mark Twaln accounted for his own “disap- pearing visitor” by the belief that he ! had unconsciously had a very short nap, and many have explained visions of ghosts as due to dreams during such short naps. For nothing is better established in connection with dreams than that an apparently very long one can occur during an almost infinitesimal time. Alfred Maury had a long, vivid dream of the relgn of terror, including the trial of himself and his execution, and Wwas able to show that it all happened during the moment of awakening by the fall of a rod from the bed canopy upon his neck.
