where they have extensive busi

of the Navy Daniels and told him
U lde Sam ought to police Mexico

RUSSIAN JOAN OF ARC
By BESSIE R. HOOVER.
Dmitri Pretzoff had been notified
that he must serve in the czar’s army.
This news came like a thunderbolt
to his mother, Anna Pretzoff, who is
my distant kinswoman and who has
cared for me ever since the awful
: night at Priblov ten years ago, when
] my parents wrere both killed.
It seemed as if Dmitri could not be
spared, for his mother’s little holding
1 had to be cared for; and Anna Pret
! zoff l id myself could never do all the
1 work, though I was twenty years old
and strong for a girl.
The day came when Dmitri was to
1 go; but like a stroke out of a clear
sky, a strange sickness fell upon him
I that very morning as he started on
his way to Svelk, where the recruit
ing officer was stationed.
Dmitri was very sick, so sick that
he seemed near death. Of course he
could not go to Svelk that day. but
that only put off his going a little
longer.
Then a quick resolve came to me.
and with it a daring plan, that though
I was only a peasant girl, I formed in
a moment's time.
Fired with an unreasoning zeal of
adventure, I slipped up to the loft
where Dmitri’s best clothes lay ready
for him on a cot. I hastily put them
on, and they were a good fit, for 1
was about bis height, and large and
strong for a girl. Then T quickly
clipped my hair in the fashion of the
peasant men, and went down stairs.
Calling Anna Pretzoff into the kitch
en. I told her of my determination to
take Dmitri's place, march away with
the troops, and when t^mre was no
longer any fear of them coming back
for Dmitri, T would explain all and
come home.
At the recruiting station all went
as it should, and I was soon march
ing. shoulder to shoulder between two
stalwart peasant soldierB, who took
my presence as a matter of course.
On the third day my name was
called as we stopped for dinner beside
a little stream.
“Dmitri Pretzoff, a letter.” I had
almost, forgotten my new name.
The letter had been written by kins
woman, and said that T must, come
home at once, for Dmitri was dead.
Dead! Dmitri, my old playmate:
the man I was going to marry some
time! I had not thought that Dmitri
would die.
The old scenes and the familiar
faces that had faded so quickly from
my careless mind, that the strange
events of the last three days had
seemed to obliterate, came back, and
I was homesick with a dull, physical
pain. After all, I was only a woman,
and Dmitri had been more to me than
I had been conscious of. I must go
home and care for his mother.
That night I got a permit to visit
the commanding officer’s tent. He
was alone and I told my errand
briefly.
“I am a girl,” I said, “I took the
place of Dmitri Pretzoff, who was
too sick to come—now he is dead.
May I go back and take care of his
mother?”
The officer was astonished, then
nonplussed, and above all he was dis
pleased to think that such a trick had
been played.
“Did you do this for love of coun
try?” he questioned.
“No,” I answered. ‘*1 went to seek
adventure,” then I hung my head, for
the part that I was playing did not
seem so heroic as it had at home;
all of a sudden I saw that T wap
really an impostor.
But I was a woman, very tired
almost, sick, and the officer had com
passion on me, for he wrote a pass
and gave me money enough to get
back home on.
And some way the papers got hold
of the story and dilated on it as pa
pers will, and it went ail over the
world that I was a second “.Toan of

I started home, still In my uniform
with my knapsack strapped across my
shoulders and the precious pass signet
by the commanding officer, in my
pocket.
Leaving the train at the little sta
tlon at Svelk, I tramped disconsolate
Iy through the fields towards my kins
woman’s holding.

It must be Jan Covens. I thought
helping because of Dmitri’s death.
“Ho. Jan,” I called, glad to spoal
to one of my own people again.
But it was not Jan that turned
toward me at the sound of my voice—
it was Dmitri. Then I supposed thal
I must be delirious from overstrain
and that the man I saw before me
was only a phantom.
But no. it was Dmitri, who welcomed
me back as one from the dead; foi
his mother had never told him of mj
taking his place, but had led him tc
believe that I had wandered away, ne
one knew where.
Not till long after Dmitri and I were
married, did Anna Pretzoff tell me
the whole truth about the strange
sickness of her son. When the day
had come for him to join the army she
drugged him with tea made from a
poisonous herb. He drank this liquid
during the morning meal, and shortly
after became insensible. Later she
had written that he wa3 dead, think
ing that the news would bring me
home.

The Ftatus of the office boy came up
for discussion in the lobby of a Wash
ington hotel the other afternoon and
a congressman told of an incident
that happened in one of the metro
politan cities.
One day a young man went to the
office of a large firm and asked to see
the head of the house. On being re
ceived hv that party the young man
intimated that he would like to he
connected with the firm.
“! see," thoughtfully mused the
head of the house. “What particular
position in our establishment would
you like, sir?”
“I was thinking,” loftily returned
the young man, “1 might be made the
confidential adviser or the general
manager.
“Just the thing!” happily replied
the boss. “You may have both jobs
I will make you the office boy.”
