An Escape
By EUNOR MARSH
A young Russian named Ivnn Ivnno
vilcli, living nt Knrs, not many miles
north of tho boundary lino between
Russia and Turkey, found employment
across the border nnd "vvlillo there fell
In love with a young Turkish girl. Her
father refused her to him unless ho
would renounce tho Chrlstlnn religion
and becomo n Mohammedan. Ivnn was
nverso to doing so, but It Is easy for
one who Is In lovo to llnd n salvo for
his conscience, and he dually consent
ed. Ho professed adhefllon to tho
prophet, nnd tho two were married.
This Is a simple matter with tho
Turks, for the brldo Is conducted to tho
groom's house and left thero with him.
There Is no such ceremony as among
Christians.
Of courso tho young husband' con
version was n form, but ho was obliged
to go to prayers In the mosque like any
Mohammedan and otherwlso conform
to that religion. After awhllo ho grew
tired of this and, taking his wlfo with
him, went back to tho other sldo of tho
border.
Now, It was not long after tho Ivnno
vltch family mndo this movo that tho
Grand Duko Nicholas marched by, lm
pressing men Into hto army as ho ad
vanced, talcing Ivnn among tho num
ber. When the latter found that they
wero marching on Krzerum ho was
much concerned, for It was near thnt
city thnt ho hnd married his wife, nnd
If he should bo captured nnd recog
nized fighting In a Christian nrmy
ngainst the followers of Mohammed ho
would surfer as dreadful fato as could
bo visited on a rcucgmlc.
Ivnnovltch wns on tho flunk of his
nrmy nnd ten miles to tho northwest of
Erzcrum. Thoro ho was captured by
tho Turks nnd carried with them In
their retreat before the Russians to
ward Trchlzond.
Just before tho Russian ndvnnco Into
Turkey, Mruo. Ivnnovltch went on n
visit to her pcoplo nnd wns thero dur
ing tho surrender of Erzcrum by tho
Turks. One day whllo looking at somo
Itusslnn prisoners who wero being
marched by, sho saw her husband
among them.
Tho good wornnn wns seized with
tho snmo trepidation ns Ivnn, thnt ho
might bo recognized ns a Mohnmmcd
nn rcnegndo. Wishing to bo near him
to afford him such protection us she
might bo able, sho followed tho prison
crs, their enptors talcing them along.
In retreat, nnd saw them go into
bivouac for tho night
Now, thoro was no opportunity for n
woman to mlnglo nmong men In Tur
key, for Turkish women and men do
not assoclnto together ns In other coun
tries. Tho only way Mmc. Ivnnovltch
could go among tho soldiers nnd prison
ers wns by assuming mnn's attire. En
torlng tho womon'B qunrtors of n house
near by, sho prevailed upon n wlfo to
procure her a suit of her husband's,
which sho put on and, carrying her
own clothes In a bundle under her nrm,
wont to tho place where tho prisoners
were. There sho mado friends with
tho guard nnd offored her services for
any duty sho might perform. Sho was
told that sho might tako part In watch
ing tno prisoners, and, obtaining a
gun, sho stood guard with tho rest.
Toward midnight sho took position
near her husband and dropped her
bundle beside him, nt tho samu tlmo
making signs to him to roll Into soino
underbrush n few yurds from him,
Slowly edging In thut direction, ho
enmo to tho edge of tho brush. Most
of tho gunrd wero drowsy. Ono of
them wns near enough to obscrvo
Ivan, and Mmc. Ivnnovltch placed her
soir bqtween tho two. Then tho prls
oner rolled Into tho brush.
js voon us no examined tno con
tents of the bundle ho saw his wife's
design. As n man in Itusslnn uniform
it would bo lmposslblo for him to
mnko his wny through tho Turkish
lines, but ns u woman ho would have
ovory mlvnntngo, especially ns tho face
of n Turkish woman Is ulwnya hidden
by a veil, under cover of tho dark
ucss ho took off his clothes and put
on those of his wlfo, then mado his
wny out of tho bivouac of guards and
prisoners.
Coming to tho rood over which ho
hud been murched during tho day, ho
walked along It till he enmo to a houso.
Thero ho took refuge In nn outhouso
till morning, when ho rnpped nt tho
women's quarters. Ho was admitted.
made up a story of having been to seo
an olllcer to whom sho (he) wns mar
rled, and was treated with kindness.
Hero he was In double dnngor, for ho
wiiR not only a renegade Mussulman,
but ti man In tho women's quarters, a
place where not oven a husband may
cuter unless his wlfo Is without visit
ors. However, ho insisted on remain
ing veiled and got out as soon as ho
lould without exciting suspicion.
Following tho road back toward tho
Russians, ho modestly withdrew to ono
uldu on meeting Tiuiclah soldiers who
wero hurrying beforo their conquerors,
At lust he met tho Russian advance
nnd, lifting his veil, revealed himself
nu a man and n Russiau.
Tho next meeting between Ivnnovltch
and his wlfo was In u hospital within
tho Russian Hues. Ho had been taken
ill nnd relegated to tho quarters of tho
sick. Mmc. Ivnnovltch had mado her
wuy back toward ISrzeruui and hud
been hoping that ho hud mado good
Ms escape. Sho had gono with Red
Cross nurses to help in tho hospital,
and ono day as sho was passing his cot
tbo two mot
Sho was free to kneol bcsldo him, and
tho two embraced with thanks, tho ono
to God. tho other to Allah.

advantage of a young man sowing his

wtah you to marry young. So Impor
tant do I consider this that I have put
n proviso in my will thnt, In order to In

If you aro murried my estate will be
turned over to you."
"Yes, uncle," was all I said, but It
was not all I felt. I wns then twenty
two, which was old enough to under
stand tho peculiar position I might bo
plnccd in by my uncle's will. How
ever, thero wns still at least three
years in which to llnd a partner, so I
did not worry.
My undo lived two years after whut
ho had said to me. It was not known
that I was to bo his heir, I alone pos
sessing the secret of the condition.
Naturally if I married I desired that
my brldo should take mo for myself
alone. This may have been a romantic
view to take of tho matter, but In those
days I was given to romance. Since
then I havo taken on more practical
vlows of marriage. Indeed, tho day I
was wedded I learned this lesson.
I was within six months of twenty
flvo when I met Jennlo Tlsdale. She
was very feminine, very pretty, nnd 1
said to myself I had found tho girl
with whom I may enjoy my uncle's
fortune. A number of young men wero
ready to marry her; but so far ns I
know, sho hnd not yet settled on nny of
them. I begnn to show her marked at
tention, nnd sho nppenrcd plensed with
It Sho didn't cast off others who were
attentive to her, but gnvo mo tho pref

gagements.
i una neon brought up with my
cousin, Kate Chnmblcss, nnd relied
much upon her Judgment I -told her
thnt I was considering a proposal and
arranged n meeting between tho two
girls with a view to getting Knto's

glvo It Sho snld that in such matters
it was not wise to Interfere. I had
doubtless made up my mind to marry
Jennlo if sho would havo me, nnd if
sho endeavored to persuade mo not to
do so sho would surely fall.
This was not encouraging, but true,
At nny rate, despite Knto's wnnt of
approval, I proposed to Jennie. Sho
was sotno tlmo making up her mind to
sho did so there wero four months left
.beforo my twenty-fifth birthday. I

Bhould fall mo I might loso my for

when I dropped in to seo my fiancee,
I found a note from her stating that
ono of her bosom friends had been
suddonly tnken ill nnd wns lying nt
tho point of denth. Jennie had gone
to hor, but would return nt tho earliest
possible moment
Tins wns wituin ten days or our
wedding dny, nnd I wns worried,
Jennie, not knowing how Important
was our marrlngo within a given time,
might remain with her sick friend. If
so it would bo too into. Sho left no
nddrcss for mo or I would hnvo writ-
ten urglnjAor on no account to remain

I One can lmnglno my feelings nt ex
perlenclng such an uncertainty. I went
to Jennlo s homo nnd nsked her moth
or for her nddrcss, or that sho would
I wrlto her; thut I Insisted on her ro-
' tur nt nco for our wedding. Mrs
Tisuaio seemed to bo concealing some
thing from mo, but promised to wrlto
"or uuugiitcr. No rurtlicr word enmo
from Jennie, nnd tho day beforo my
twenty-fifth blrthdny I was without a
bride.
In a fit of desperation I went to my
cousin Kato nnd told her of tho straits
I wus in, confessing thnt if I wero not
married beforo noon tho next day
would lose my inheritance.
"I would ndvlso you," sho said, "not
to rely on your fiancee. For my part,
question it she has not gono off with
Scovllle."
"Scovlllel"
"Yes. Ills attentions to her since you
havo been engaged to her havo been
very uotlcoable."
"Hcuvonsl Whnt shall I do?"
"Select somo good, stendy girl of your
acquaintance, tell her of your Inher
itance and tho condition attached to it
und nsk hor to marry you nt once."
I stood thinking for a few minutes,
then, turning to my adviser, said:
"Kate, will you murry mo?"
"I will, to help you out"
Sho said this reproachfully.
"To holp mo out only?"
"You surely descrvo nothing moro, to
havo gono off after a flighty little fool
when you could havo had"
"Ono worth a thousnud of her."
Kato nnd I wero murried thnt snmo
evening. Wo returned from our wed
ding trip nbout tho snmo tlmo as Mr.
and Mrs. Scovllle, for Kato was right
nbout tho real cause of Jennie's ab
sence. Tho Scovllles quarreled and separat
ed within six months after marriage.
It was reported that Jennlo never for
gave herself or her husband for ber
loss of a fortuue.
The Colonel's
Convalescence
By ALAN HINSDALE
In one of those battles between tho
French nnd Germans when tho luttcr
wero endeavoring to reach the channel
Colonel Latrobc, a man of forty, was
wounded and Instead of being sent to
a hospital wns left for want of trans
portation nt u chateau by tho way.
The lady who owned tho place directed
thut he bo placed In ono of her best
rooms nnd nt once assumed his enrc.
Fortnnntely for both, tho fighting did
not como near tho chateau, and the
colonel wns left to recover, his wants
being supplied by the lady, a spinster
named Rcmcrcler.
Mile. Remercler wns somo flvo years
ouugcr than Lntrobc, nnd spinsters
usunlly preserve their youthful nppear
anco longer thnn their married sisters.
t any into this Is liable to bo tho case
with unmarried women who have no
cares or troubles. The colonel's nurse
was still a handsome woman.
There wns u long period of convales
cence, during which tho colonel was
unable to Join his command. Mile.
Kcmcrclcr read to him, chatted with
him, fed him. Indeed mndo his conva
lescence delightful. Every morning sho
gnthcrcd llowers from her gnrdeu, enr-
rled thorn to his room nnd arranged
them In n vase of Dresden china with
her own hnnds. Mnny of tho delicacies
prepared for him to cat sho cooked
with her own hands. No matter what
tlmo of duy he culled for anything he
needed tho lady responded nnd nlwnys
with n sympathetic smile.
In time Lntrobo spent n portion of
tho day In an easy chair; then nearly
all the dny there; then he was nblo to
walk ubout his room and finally to go
downstairs. Ho was chafing to got
back to tho front, though loath to lcavo
his luxurious abode and especially his
fair hostess.
Ono morning In June ho wns sitting
on tno terrnco with aille. Remercler.
The sun shone brightly, nnd delicious
perfume enmo from tho roses growing
beside the terrace. Conversation turn
cd upon tlio school of St Cyr, from
which tho colonel hnd been graduated
a sublieutenant into the nrmy.
"I visited St Cyr when but seven
teen years old," snld mndumolscllc. "I
cun conceive of no plnco so enthralling
to n girl of thnt ngo ns a military acad
emy. Tlio young men in uniform nro
far more resplendent than thoso in
civilian dress. There arc tlio martial
music, tho mllltury ceremonies, every
thing to turn n girl's head."
"And I remember," ndded tho colo-
uel, "how wo youngsters delighted in
mnklng love to tho girls who visited
St Cyr. Lovcmnkliig hnd not tho
meaning thnt it has for older men. It
was what tho Americans call flirting.
Wo thought nothing of telling a girl
wo loved her, nnd the girl's thought
nothing of pretending to reclprocnte.
Wo enjoyed the sentiment without hav
ing to fret nbout the responsibilities.
When wo hud mndo love to ono girl
wo were rendy for nnother. And when
they hnd gone wc returned to our stud
ies ns freo mentally ns before they hud
come."
"Your picture mny be true with re
spect to tho young men," snld the-lady,
"and in most enscs perhaps with re
gard to tho girls. In my caso it was
different In ono of these young mlll
tury students I met thut which was
tho most serious episode of my life.
He mado lovo to mo simply for tho
temporary enjoyment of tho sentiment
Alas, It was far moro than that to mol
That is why I havo nover married."
"Tho brutel" exclaimed tho colonel.
"No; ho was simply young and did
not realize tho danger to mo of whnt
ho wns doing."
"Pcrhnps ho did renllzc it in time, to
his cost I confess that thero wns ono
of my nffulrs that stood by mo for
many years. I could not shako it off.
Even today, after twenty years, I seo
In ray dreams that young face and
press ngnin thut soft hand."
"And why did you, nfter discovering
that you rcnlly loved her, not sock her
out?"
"Ah. thnt would have served in
America, where they marry for love,
but not in France, whero parents nr-
rango marriages for their children."
"Who was tho girl?"
"If I remember correctly sho was tho
daughter of n gentleman of fortune,
living in ono of tho provinces, nor
nnrno was nortenso" Ho wn8 stall
ed; ho had forgotten her surname.
"Would you know her again, do you
suppose, after not Boeing her for twen
ty years?"
"That I could not say."
Mile. Remercler nroso nnd went into
tho house. Presently sho returned
with n miniature painting, which sho
handed to tho colonel. Ho looked at
it for n fow moments as though it
brought bnck Bomo vaguo memory;
then Buddenly ho turned his eyes upon
his compnnlon in a sort of wonder.
"Whoro did you get this?" ho nsked.
"I havo hud it ever slnco tho origi
nal visited St Cyr twenty years ngo."
Tho colonel's steady gaze grndunlly
rovcaled to him that tho mlnlaturo
was a likeness of Mile. Remercler at
seventeen,
"Hortcnso!" ho exclaimed.
"IlcnrH" wns tho low reply.
When tho colonel went bnck to the
front ho returned a married man. In
"deed, had not duty called him ho
would not have returned. Flo wns very
much pleased nt receiving nnother
wound, Just severe enough to lay him
up for a mouth. Flo retumed to tho
chateau of his wife, and tlio month of
recovery and his honeymoon wero one
and thu same thing.
