Omaha Man Writes
of Hun. Onslaught
Experiences in Taris during the
great German offensive are vividly
described in a letter received by
Helen Rohlfson of Omaha from her
brother, Robert, who is in the postal
service in Pari. His letter ran in
part:
"I have had the experience of see
ing what the effects of a really great
offensive are. When the Germans
f J ... -J Da.!, tha
refugees by the thousands came to
ill the railroad stations, some of
them the most pitiful looking beings,
to be taken care of by the different
charitable institutions, the French
Sovernment, and more especially the
.merican Red Cross and the Ameri
can Y. M. C A. It is hard to de
scribe some of the sights one sees
St such times. Some rarry their few
belongings in a handkerchief or a
little bag. Whole families, old and
young, are looking for protection
and safety. These sights were seen
some little while ago. as you recall.
Now we see the reverse. The same
people are on their way back to
what remains of their former homes,
but in a different spirit, such a feel
ing of joy that they are returning
The Germans are gradually, but 1
judge much faster than they wish,
being driven back into their own
country, where they belong. I am
sure they can now read the hand
writing on the wall, 'Liberty for the
whole world.'

Kaiser Dill has had other things to
occupy his mind, although the last
four days he has been taking out
a little spite on us by using Big
Bertha (the long range gun). The
first day she was quite busy, firing

only four or five, and today one at

think our soldiers are going to cap'
ture that gun and turn it around the
other way. The bombardment with
th big gun during the last four days
has been rather general over the
whole city but the casualties have
not been very heavy. Its effects do
not amount to anything compared
to the damages of the air raiders
and our boys, are giving them some
thing in return, which may be the
reason they are slowing up.
"Among the interesting things in
the city is to be on the main boule
vards on Sunday afternoon, especial
ly when it is nice, and see the peo
ple promenading. In front of the
cafes people sit on the walks around
little tables, under an awning and
sip coffee, wine, lemonade or some
thing of that sort and 'rubber' at
the people passing by. During the
big German offensive, no one would
have ever dreamed the enemy was
within 40 miles of Paris, judging
from the unconcerned way people
were taking things."
Young Girls Not to Canvass,
In the campaign for war funds in
which the war work council of the
Y. W. C. A. is participating, no girl
under 18 years of age will be used
to solicit money in any way, either
on the street or in a hous"-to-house
canvass. This is a resolution re-
ccntly adopted by the Y. W. C A.
war work council. AH money con-
' tributed by girls under 18 shall be
given by the girls themselves or
earned in a way approved by the
campaign managers.
Fifty whisky barrels have been do
nated to the salvage department by
the sheriff. These are good, clean
barrels and will be sold at $2 apiece.
John Maher, 4349 Seward street,
has given the salvage department
a case of baking powder, which will
be sold, for 25 cents a can. This is

FLUTTERING blue veils and
white aprons are proving the
open sesame to many unique
experiences to the charming young
women who are willing workers in
the canteen service. It seems a bit
hard at times to be called at any
hour to cheer the passing soldiers
with cigarets and chocolate but
there are many compensations.
The troop trains were late
Saturday evening and a unit com
posed of the members of the Wo
man's Press club were patiently
waiting at the depot for the distant
rumble of the train which would
herald the arrival of the men in
khaki.
Suddenly a queer cortege came in
to the station. It was composed of a
pretty young girl, whom the news
paper women recognized as Miss
Lysiane Bernhardt, a cheery little
French doctor and numerous actors
and actresses. But these individuals
were forgotten for in the center, in
her sedan chair, sat the Divine
Sarah herself. Her train was late
also, and in response to her smiles
and interest in their canteen uni
forms the young women had a most
delightful chat with the great ac
tress and with the members of her
company.
Aside from the members of the
canteen unit were Mrs. L. J. Healy
and Mr. and Mrs. Ed P. Boyer, who
were also privileged to talk 1 with
Mme. Bernhardt and to catch the
last glimpse of her as she was gent
ly lifted into the train.

CHAPTER XXIII. ..
Reflections Mirrored and
Otherwise.
Miss Maggie was still sitting in
the big chair with her face in her
hands when the door opened and
Mr. Smith came in. He was very
white.
Miss Maggie, dropping her hands
and staring up at his entrance,
caught a glimpse of his face in the
mirror in front ol her. With a fur
tive, angry dab of her fingers at her
wet eyes, she feu to rearranging the
vases and photographs on the
mantel.
"Oh. back again, Mr. Smith?" she
greeted him. with studied uncon
cern.
Mr. Smith shut the door and ad
vanced determinedly.
Miss Maggie, I've got to face this
thing out, of course. Even if I had
made a botch of things at the very
start, it didn't heip to run away as 1
did. And I was a coward to do it.
It was only because I I But
never mind that. I'm coming now
straight to the point. Miss Maggie,
will you marry me?"
The photograph in Miss Maggie's
hand fell face down on the shelf.
Miss Maggie's fingers caught the
edge of the mantel in a convulsive
grip. A swift glance in the mirror
before her disclosed Mr. Smith's face
just over her shoulder, earnest,
pleading, and still very white. She
dropped her gaie, and turned half
away. She did not want to meet Mr.
Smith's eyes just then. She tried to
speak, but only a half-choking little
breath came.
Then Mr. Smith spoke again.
"Miss Maggie, please don't say
no, yet. Let me explain about
how I came here, and let me tell you
how how I love you how I have
loved you all these long months, I
think I loved you from the first time
I saw you. Whatever comes, I want
you to know that. And if you could
care for me a little just a little,
I'm sure I could make it more in
time, so you would marry me. And
we would be so happy I Don't you
believe I'd make you happy dear?"
"Yes, oh, yes,, ' murmured Miss
Maggie, still with her head turned
away.
"Good! Then alt you've got to say
is that you'll let me try. And we
will be happy, dearl Why, until I
came here to this little house I
didn't know what living, real living,
was. And I have been, just as you
said, a selfish old thing."
Miss Maggie, with a start of sur
prise taced the image in the mir-
her. not at her reflection, so she did
not meet his eyes.
"Why, 1 never" she stammered.
"Yes, you did, a minute ago.
Don't you remember? Oh, of course,
you didn't realixe everything, and
perhaps you wouldn't have said it
if you'd known. But you said it
and you meant it, and I'm glad
you said it. And, dear little wom
an, don't you see? That's only an
other reason why you should say
yes. You carvshow me how not to
be selfish." N
"But, Mr. Smith, I I " stam
mered Miss Maggie, still with puz
zled eyes.
"Yes, you can. You can show me
how to make life really worth
while, for me, and for for lots of
others. And now I have some one
to care for. And, oh. little woman,
I I care so much, it can't be that
you you don t care anyr
Miss Maggie caught her breath
and turned away again.
Don t you care a little.
The red crept up Miss Maggie's
neck to her forehead, but still she
was silent.
"If I could only see your eyes,"
pleaded the man. Then, suddenly
he saw Miss Maggie's face in the
mirror, the next mcluent Miss
Magpie herself turned a little, and
in the mirror Mr. Smith found his
answer.
You do care a little!" he
breathed, as he took her in his
arms.
"But I don't!" Miss Maggie shook
coat collar.
"What?" Mr. Smith's clasp loos
ened a little.
"I care a great deal, whispered
Miss Maggie to the coat collar,
with shameless emphasis.
You darling I triumphed the
man. bestowing a rapturous kiss
on the tip of a small pink ear the
nearest point to Miss Maggie's lips
that was available, until, with ten
der determination, he turned her
face to his.
A moment later, blusrunar rosily,
Miss Maggie drew herself away.
"There, we ve been quite sitty
enough old folks like us."
We re not silly. Love is never

"I m afraid you act it, said Miss

Smith, drawing a long breath. "And

CHAPTER II.
The Indian Pilot.
(In the first chaptf.- fuggy I mm
moned by Judge Owl from the camp In
the hills where she la staying:. He guides
her to Billy Belgium, who shows her a
tribe ot Indians starting on the warpath.)
ttTmiOO-OOP! Whoo-oop!
'V Whoo-oop!" howled the
dancing Indians, while from a circle
of squaws in the background came a
wailing song, accompanied by the
beat of the tom-toms.
Peggy felt her heart thump loud
ly. The picture before her eyes was
more thrilling than any movie she
had ever seen. The blazing fire, the
painted red men whirling around it,
the droning squaws, the shadows
grotesquely frolicking on the walls
of the rocky basin the sight was
enough to send the blood racing
faster through her veins.
One big warrior in particular held
her fascinated eyes. He was tall and
apparently very powerful, for he
swung around his head a huge ax in
stead of the usual Indian tomahawk.
He crouched very low as he stamped
the ground viciously with his feet,
then threw his head back as he let
out his wolf-like howt.
As the savages circled around and
around they made motions as if
scalping unhappy captives. It would
be horrible to fall into the power of
such a cruel band.
"Are they really on the warpath?"
whispered Peggy to Billy Belgium.
"Sh-h-h-h Listen 1" he aiswere-.
The dance had ended and the
braves had seated themselves around
the" fire. The big Indian with the
ax remained standing. He looked
very terrible in his eagle feathers
and painted face. He folded his arms
and remained silent a moment as
the song of the squaws died away
and the throb of the tom-toms
ceased. Then, he began to speak
slowly and impressively.
"Brothers of the wilderness, hark
to the voice of Chief Many Cows!"
he said. "The hour of our freedom
is here. Too long have we been
the slaves of Pale Face ways. To
night we throw all that asirM TV-
night we become again the children 1
ot the torest, worthy sons of the
noble red men who roamed these
hills in days of old, hunting the
deer and the bear, and tomahawk
ing t!:e invading Pale Faces. Whoo
oop! Whoo-oop! I'm a wild Indian
And with that Chief Many Cows
whirled his ax around his head and
let it fly at a big tree far back in the
shadows. The ax struck with a re
sounding whang, the blade sinking
deep into the tree. Peggy gasped
with surprise, and the Indians mut
tered their admiration. Chief Many
Cows surely was very powerful.
"He looks like Fred Snow, the vil
lage milkman," whispered Billy Bel
gium. Peggy shook her head. To
her he didn't look a bit like a milk
man. This was a genuine savage.
Her opinion grew stronger as Chief
Mjny Cows went on with his speech.
"We must make our freedom se
cure, he said. "We can not have
k-t.ng liberty until we have driven
the Pale Faces from our hills We
must go on the warpath as did our
fathers before us. We must kill; we
most take scalps. Tonight we at
tack. By morning not a Pa!e Face

or in the villages. They will vanish

with horrified eyes.
"How awful," she gasped. "We
must give the alarm I"
"Wait!" he cautioned her, as a
short, squat Indian arose. "That
looks like Hooks, the village tailor."
"Listen to the voice of Sitting
Man," the Indian grunted. "I am
heap wise from heap much thinking.
This shall be our plan. First we
;.hall attack the camp up the hill.
We shall have many scalps before
the sleeping Pale Faces know what
has happened.
Then we shall take their guns,
which will help us in our attack on
the village. In the village we shall J qucrade for sport.
find heap much food, and heap much
"runs and powder. The hills shall
he our own. Death to the Pale
Faces!"
There jumped up a wiry, fiercely
painted warrior.
"Scatos! M"ch' Hair wants
scalns!!" he shrieked, as he began
to dance.
"If he wasn't so savage looking,
I'd say that was Sol Green, clerk in
Rascom's general store," whispered
Billy Belgium. Peggy shook her
head in strong disagreement. This
leaping, bounding, half-naked war
rior didn't have the slightest re
semblance to a clerk in a store.
"Scalps! Scalps!" shrieked the
other Indians, joining Much Hair
in his dance. The tom-toms sounded
again, the squaws began their wail
ing song.
"We must hurry to camp before
thev can get there!" urged Peggy.
"It's too late I'm afraid," an
swered Billy Belgium. "There come
two scouts to report now.'
Into the firelight had leaped two
agile young Indians. The dance
halted abruptly as the warriors clus
tered eagerly around them.
"The Pale Faces in the mountain
camo sleep soundly," spoke up one
of the scouts. "Our watchers sur
round them, waiting for you to at
tack at dawn."
Peggy turned In dismay to Billy
Belsrium.
"Oh, what shall we- do?" she
whisnered. "Can't we warn them?"
"No," he answered, "we, our
selves, must stop the Indians."

that even if you did care for John
Smith, you wouldn't for me just at

length he held her off, his hands on
her shoulders. . His happy eyes
searching her face saw the dawn of
the dazed question.
"Wouldn't care for you if I did for
John Smith! Why, you are John
Smith. What do you mean?" she
demanded, her eyes slowly sweeping I

again. "What do you mean?"

"Stainey Fulton. I am Stanley

She was hacking away now, slow

loathing, had taken tne place ot tne
amazement and mcreuuuty in her
eyes.
"And you are Mr. Fulton?"
"Yes, yes I uut "

"Alaggie, dearest," he begged,
springing toward her, "if you U only

But' she stopped him peremptori
ly, drawing heiaelt to her tun neignt.
"1 am not your uearest," she
flamed angrily, "i did not give my

"Alagg.el'' he implored.
But she drew back still farther.
"No I I gave it to John Smith

tjoor, yes, I believed him poor; but
a man who at least had a rigat to
his name! I didn't give it to Mr.
Stanley G. Fulton, spy, trickster,
who makes life itself a masquerade
for sport. I do not know Mr. Stan
ley G. Fulton and I do, not wish
to." The words ended in a sound
very like a sob; but Miss Maggie,
with her head still high, turned her
back and walked to the window.
The man, apparently stunned for
a moment, stood watching her, his
eyes grieved, dismayed, hopeless.
Then, white-faced, he turned and
walked toward the door., With his
hand almost on the knob he slowly
wheeled about and faced the woman
again. He hesitated visibly, then in
a dull, lifeless voice, he began to
speak.
"Miss Maggie, before John Smith
steps entirely out of your life, he
would like to say just this, please,
not in justification, but in explana
tion of of Stanley G. Fulton. Ful

course a silly, absurd foolishness
from beginning to end. It
He did not finish his sentence.
There was a rush of swift feet, a
swish of skirts, then full upon him
there fell a whirlwind of sobs,
clinging arms and incoherent ejacu
lations. "It wasn't silly it wasn't silly.

ly old man he felt old. He had no

to care for, but he had no one to

that, please. He did have a great
deal of money more than he knew

various ways of spending it. Never
mind what they were. They result
ed chiefly in showing him that he
wasn't as wise as he might be in
that line, perhaps."
The man paused and wet his lips.
At the window Miss Maggie still
stood, with her back turned as be
fore. "The time came finally," resumed
the inan, "when Fulton began to
i wonder what would become of his
millions when he was done with
them. He had a feeling that he would
like to will a good share of them

j Miss Maggie at the window drew
her breath and held it suspended,
letting it out s'.owly.
"He didn't know anything about

dully, wearily, "and he got to won
