For the Belgians were not taking kindly to the enemy's barbarous rule, Brutal Germans had been fired on from windows and from alleys. It was pleasanter and safer for the swarm of graybacks to kill than to be killed. The occasional reprisals of their victims made them nervous and jumpy. 1. T. Topping, of the United States Belgian Embassy, thus describes their terror: “The Germans, {n an agony of fear that seemed to characterize them during those early days in Belgium, overran the streets, shooting at ran- dom, breaking into houses, wantonly murdering, sacking, pillaging, burn- ing. ‘Some one has fired on us!’ they would cry, in a vain attempt to con- done their own cowardice. “It was late on the night of Aug. 24, 1914, that a mob of German soldiers, led by one Lieut. von Doerffer, broke into the home of a loval gunsmith. The gunsmith, his wife and his children were gathered in their little sitting room, for family prayers, before going to bed. Now. it was forbidden by the Germans for any Belgian to have fires arms in his house, But naturally the workrooms of the gunsmith were littered with such weapons. One glance at these was enough for Von Doerffer, He yelled a com~ mand to his men. The gunsmith and his family were hustied out of tho house into the back garden.

This single exception was his seventeen-year-old daughter, Rosa, a gentle and beautiful girl, who had loved her slain father abova all the world. Rosa had merely received a flesh wound. The second volley—fired ‘in nervous haste and by dim light—had missed her. She crawled over to her dead father's body. Kneeling beside the corpse, she raised her arms to the fire-stained heavens and swore an oath of vengeance. She did not know the name of the German officer who had ordered the murder of her father. But she had seen his face. And she knew she could never forget that face. And she set about her task of revenge. Going to Brussels she found work at pitifully small pay. Every evens ing she used to go to a cafe which German off- cers patronized. And there, evening after evens | $Girl Awaits German.§ ine she sat. Bent on Revenge.

But to ull she gave the same answer, She said she was waiting faithfully for on? brave German, and that she had no interest in any other. rhis romantic fidelity touched the slimly sentimental hearts of the other Germans, and they let her alone. The Belgians, seeing her nightly in this German resort, scorned her for a traitor to her suffering country. Tosa paid no heed to their scorn, She was waiting—always waiting —waiting for one man whose face she could not forget ‘And at last her terrible vigil was rewarded. One evening the ga.lant Lieut. von Doerffer strolled into the cafe, Rosa greeted him eagerly. Of course he did not recognize her, Yet he was flattered by the Ine terest of so pretty a girl.
