Commits High Treason and Pays for it With Life,

Hy Herman IWnteln. PARIS. Nov. 4. This la the story of a French young" woman who wasj executed by the French military -i-thorities in Hellebarde, the little Franco-Swiss frontier village. This war has produced numerous instances of inhuman brutality, of heroism; of self-sacrifice and of ro- j mance, a:d the circumstance sur- j rounding the fate of this your.ff worn- ; an will rank anion? th most traffic and pathetic "human documents" of the war. It is the Ftory of a woman who diel for love. To help her lover he committed hifch trc-tson ;:id paid with her life for it. Women have figured proF'':. -ntly as Rpis in cverj' war. In this war their role has also Ix-en conspicuous. Some have betrayed their country for money, others have betrayed it for t'ae love of adventure, and still others have betrayed it for the sake of love followinff blindly the man who led them ustray alontj the fascinating and dangerous path of crime. This young woman was a victim of love. I)io Unmournetl. Not a word ha.s been written about her death. Not a sigh, not a tear, not prayer from her friends and relatives. For they did not know what had become of her. The French newspapers did not record the end of this woman who paid with her life for her darinff, mad desire to help her Austrian lover, who pouffht to secure . French military secrets. r Her name wa-s Susana Rainal. Sho was whe wife of Louis Rainal, a lieutenant in the artillery of the French army. She was 28 years old when she was put to death. The husband, 12 years her senior, was at the front when Hhe was shot. Her lover was shot with her. Ho broke down, quiver ing, and crying hysterically while sho j kept bracinff htm up. repeating: "Have no fear! Have no fear!" She beffffod the oflioers to ht.ve them Phot together, not separately. She declined to be blindfolded, held her lover by the hand and kept murmirinff: "Have no fear! Have no fear!" No Iricsts Allowed. There were no praters. No priest was allowed to administer to them the last rites. Within one hour after they had been trapped by the military authorities at the frontier they were shot. The victim of love faced death with a stranpe spirit of bravado, with peculiar courage, while the man whimpered and cried and beg-ged for mercy. Several weeks ago met in Paris a distinguished French diplomat, with whom I discussed many Incidents of the war. Our conversation turned to the many varieties of spies arul provocations and to the motives that prompted them to betray their country. Then he told me the story of this young woman who met her end so bravely at the French-Swiss frontier. There were tears in his voice as ho related tho details, for ho knew the vornan and ho knew her husband. "I was returning from London to Paris a few weeks agro," he said. "Just as we were reaching Boulogne on the boat crossing the channel, whilo I was in line in the dining" room of the boat where the passports wero being examined by the military officers, I heard behind me a familiar voice whispering in German 'Furchte doch nicht!' (Don't bo afraid.) I turned and saw the wifo of my friend, a Froneh liotitcnant who was at the front.

Thi speaks eloquently for tho virtues of the remedy that already has creatd such a widespread domajid In South Hend. Hundreds of people in every walk of life hav been relieved of the agonies ttemdant on weak, disarranged or clog-icod-np kidneys and bladder by this remarkable remedy. It Is not Just merely a kidney treatment, it is a trjodicine that put the rntire. painracked body into normal condition find ive vigorous health after the many painful disorders caused directly or Indirectly by sick kidneys.

'He whs kind enough to help me arrange my business affairs in Indon. LK)uis is at the front.' "In the meantime my turn came to present my passport. Our conversation was interrupted. I saw that sho handed her French passport to the ofheer and the young man showed his documents. I noticed that he was pale and nervous. Showed Her Ixnc. "In the train we met again in the dining car. The' seated themselves opposite me, and from the way she acted I knew that she was in love with that man. He was tall, thin and repulsive. Her husband was brilliant, handsome and wealthy. I recalled her comfortable, beautiful home in the center of Paris. "During our conversation she made several remarks to the young man in ticrman. apparently under the impression that I did not understand that language. Upon our arrival in Paris y'no asked me to visit her soon. She said she wanted me to advise her in a certain important matter, that she was alone now, that I could help her with letters of introduction for which she would be most grateful. She urged me to visit her the following evening. I promised to call on her and bade her farewell. "On the following evening when I came to her house her maid met me at the door and said that madam was expecting me (or dinner an hour later. I asked her to tell Mine. Raynal that I had another engagement for dinner. Implored to Stay. "A few minutes later Mme. Raynal came out. As I mentioned before, she .vas a beautiful young woman of anout 2S. She was most charmingly dressed. She greeted me warmly and lugged me to stay for dinner. I told lier ! had another important engagement. She implored me to stay. She said she was alone and that she wished to talk with me about a matter of great importance in which she desired to onlist my aid. I said that I would call on her some other evening. "Then she told me she wished to visit friends in Switzerland, that she had some manufcnpts of a literary character shr wanted to take to them, and that she wished me to give her letters of introduction to several people, among them the minister of war. I promised to call on hr the following evening. "As I l-a 1? her good night she kissed me and '.-eged me to break my other eng .moment and take dinner with her. I repeated that it was impossible. Then I !tft her. As T walked down the stairs. I noticed the young men I had met with htr at Roulogne going up to her apartment in the elevator. That seemed to me more than strange. "It sf-enied to me a prearranged affair." he went on. after a pause. "The next morning I chanced to be lunching in a cafe where I occasionally met my friend, the head of the secret police department.

The police chief listened intently and then said: " 'I think I know the woman. We are watching her. We are also watching the man closely. He is an Austrian. They seem to be engaged in a serious political conspiracy.' "lie mentioned her name to mo and asked me whether that was the woman I had in my mind. I told him It wa.

He said to me: Told Woman Is Shot, " 'Do you know what has happened to that woman Susana Raynal?' " 'I have not seen her since then I replied. " 'You will never see her again,' he said. 'She has been shot.' "And then he told me how the police had shadowed her and her lover; how some one who had made her acquaintance recently gave her a letter of introduction to the minister of war. She wanted to help the Austrian carry certain documents out of France and wished to get a special letter from the minister of war permitting her to take what she called 'manuscripts' to her friends in Switzerland. "She came to the ministry of war with her lover. They were taken to a room where they met an officer who told her that he would be glad to arrange the matter for her. Then the police did what is usually done in snob cases. The oiflcer walked out of the room for a short time leaving on the table near them a number of Important looking documents. Tho man took some of these documents and after the oiflcer had returned and had given them the letter they asked for they went away. "On the following day they reached Bellcgarde on the Franco Swiss fron tier. They were searched and the papers taken from the war department were found on the woman. Within one hour both were shot. She met death bravely. She held the man by the hand and tried to brace him up. He was crying helplessly and hysterically. "I cannot forgive myself for having mentioned the incident to the police chief." concluded the French diplo--nMlst. "Nor can I forgive myself for not having made an effort to see her again in order to warn her. Perhaps she mi-ht have been saved. The act of the police department was after "ill a piece of provocation. Blinded by l,me. "But I realize that she was so blinded by her love for this man, for this repulsiv" man. that nothing could have stooped her from doing what he wanted her to do. It is the eternal enigma, this love of a beautiful woman fcr a repulsive man. This seemed all the more strange to me, since I knew her husband, a handsome, brilliant and splendid man. They had been married only five years. Very few people know of the execution. Her husband, who Is fighting at the front.

Leaders Throughout the Nation Will Assist in War on Tuberculosis,

WASHINGTON. Nov. -4. Society leaders throughout the nation are beginning early thla year, planning activities for tho 1915 Red Cross Seal campaign. Selling these cheery little holiday stickers for letters and packages as an aid in the nation-wide war on tuberculosis, has come to be one of tha chief winter activities of the social Fet in nearly every city of importance in the country. Proud matrons who shine with regal splendor aa they glide through the beautiful figures of a one-step with stately grace, are not too proud to stand on chilly street corners with aching fingers, selling Red Cross seals at a penny apiece. The American Red Cross and the organized anti-tuberculosis societies in practically every state in the union, :.re given the support of society and club women during the selling campaign for Red Cros seals. This service by those without whose names few society columns would be complete, has become something more than a fad. it might be called an institution. A few years ago this "facV, as it was then called, prevailed mostly in the eastern cities. Now the custom has spread throughout the middle and western states and during November and December thi3 year, it is expected to be more widely adopted than ever before. In one of the cities of the middle west la.t year, a social leader who probably has reigned at as many functions as any woman in America, stood in the tonneau of her car at one of the busiest street corners In her home city and sold Red Cross seals in quantities from one to 1,000. In another city, a woman almost as prominent in society circles, appeared before the footlights in a big vaudeville theater and explained the mission of the Red Cross seal. Scores of women in the same social set sold seals done up in packages to the theatergoers at the conclusion of the performance. These incidents are mentioned to indicate the popularity of this movement which was inaugurated by the American Red Cross to assist the light that is being made on the "white plague" in nearly every community in every slate. Postmasters throughout the country, have been advised that Red Cross seals may be sold in the lobbies of federal buildings in every city and town this year as in the past.

Object Is To Request Peace After Victory PARIS, Nov. 4. Credible information has reached Paris that the rea1. object of the German march to Constantinople is to coerce the allies into concluding peace. With the Teutonic troops in the Turkish capital the kaiser would be in position to threaten France and Great Britain with a Mussulman uprising in their African and Asiatic possessions unless they accept his peace terms. In the event of the allies rejecting these terms the kaiser will at least be able to satisfy the German people of his desire to end the war. The answer of the allies to this German threat was given Tuesday by Premier Asquith in the British parliament and Wednesday by Premier Briand in tho French chamber of deputies. M. Briand's speech Wednesday is an advance warning to Germany that peace will only b3 made after tho allies' victory. Meanwhile, in spite of official and semi-official denials, rumors persist that Prince von Buclow's mission to Switzerland and Spain is to initiate peace negotiations. A dispatch from Corunna, Spain, states that von Buelow is expected to arrive there shortly aboard the Deutsch steamer Tubantia, The German embassy in Madrid Wednesday issued a statement formally denying that Prince von Buelow expects to discuss possible peace terms there and In Washington.

A FINE TREATMENT FOR CATARRH EASY TO MAKE AND COSTS LITTLE Catarrh is such an insidious disease and has become so prevalent during the past few years that its treatment should be understood by all. Science has fully proved that Catarrh is a constitutional disease and therefore requires a constitutional treatment. Sprays, inhalers, salves and nose douches seldom if ever give lasting- benefit and often drive the disease further down the air passages and into the luru?B. If you have Catarrh or Catarrhal deafness or head-nciscs, go to your drugpist and get one ounce of Parmint (Double Strength). Take this home and add to it 1-4 pint of hot water and 4 ounces of granulated ruar; stir until dissolved, tako one tablespoonful 4 times a day. This will often brin quick relief from the distressing, . head-noises, clogged nostrils shojld open, breathing became easy and mucus stop dropping into the throat. This treatment his a slight tonic action which makes it es;jeciall effective in cases where the blood ha.s become thin and weak. It is easy to make, tastes pleasant and costs but little. Kvery person who wishes to ue free from this destructive disoa.se should give this treatment a trial, i Adv.
