A LETTER FROM MARIAM. It was while I was in this state of perplexity and anxiety regarding Sylvia's affairs that I received a letter from Mariam. She had succeeded in reaching Berlin and had begun her inquiries for her unole, Mr. Gordon, but at the time she wrote me she had heard nothing of him. "I never can tell you all that I have endured," she wrote. "After a perilous voyage I reached Copenhagen and from there I finally made my way here. The embassy officials have been very kind to me. They looked up the correspondence which they had with Washington about Uncle John, and I saw from those letters that you had brought very powerful influence to bear to find him. All of the consuls reported th&t they could obtain no trace of any American engineer among the prisoners brought in from France and Belgium, but I am not satisfied with their reports. I am going to the front myself if I can obtain the necessary permission, arrd I think I can arrange it through some friends of Unole John's here. You know his financial interests resulted in his having connections almost everywhere, and I find that the bankers here with whom he did business are very powerful men, and they have promised to help me. "I cannot help believing that the

German authorities are concealing the fact thkt they have taken Uncle John prisoner. The government is trying very hard tb remain on friendly terms yith the United States, and it is not permitting any information to become public which would tend to increase the popular resentment against America. Of course, U.ncle John is not widely known in Germany, but the fact that he is an American and had been aiding the French would add that much to the hard feeling which already exists if the fact became known. Uncle John's German frien-ds do not think that there is much chance of getting information about him, and even if they do learn where he is they do not expect to obtain his release without a great deal of trouble. But even to know definitely that he is a prisoner would be a great relief to me. I do not know now whether he is alive or whether he was killed while he was on the inspection trip about which I wrote you. If I do learn that he is a prisoner, I shall stay here until he is released. If anything worse has befallen him, and I can learn what it is, I shall return to America just as soon as I can. "I wrote you a long time ago that he had left a packet with me and that I was to send it to you in case anything should happen to him. I have deposited the packet in a bank in Paris. I did not have the heart to send it to you, because I have not been willing to admit, even to myself,: that Uncle John will not come back some day. He has always been so resouroeful and has taken such magnificent care of himself in all his business affairs, that it is hard for me to believe that'^lie had not been able to care for himself in this emergency. Then, too,

the fact that no trace of him has been found almost convinces me that he must be alive. "But I am repeating to you the old arguments which I have so often used to assure myself that he has not been killed. I should not cause you this distress, even though it gives me a sort of melancholy pleasure to tell my troubles to you. I want you to- understand why I have not carried out the trust which he imposed upon* me. Tou may be sure that I shall send you the packet just as soon as I can learn the truth about him."

The letter ended after a few more sentences regarding her desire to find Mr. Gordon as quickly as possible and return to the United States. She would write again, she said, Just as Boon as she could, although she hardly dared to hope- that her letters ever would reach me.

When I looked up I saw that Sylvia was watching me curiously, her great broyvn eyes fixed upon me with that expression of devotion which every day seemed to grow more and more pathetic. "It is not bad news, I hope, Roxane," she ventured.

"No," I replied. "Just a letter from a very dear friend who has met with great misfortune."

She got up and came over beside me. "It is too bad," she said. 'It seems that you are listening to somebody's troubles all the time. Why can't we all be happy?" "Yes," I repeated, sadly, "why can't we?"
