Solidly braced against refused her door-sil- l, she turned a deaf ear to all appeals. She remained alone there with her old mother of 73 and three young servants; she buried her choice her wine and a number of provisions, bottles of old brandy in the garden, for personal debought a waited fense and poignardfor the Germans. From the surrounding country there succeeded wave after wave of thick rank of gray. Five army corps, nearly 300.000 men, marched through that region toward the Marne. In the early hours of the next day a Germorning man officer knocked at the door of Madame Meunier's farm house with the hilt of his sword. "I must have milk, bread, meat, wine, salt, pepper, for my men," he cried. Madame Meunier got together all the that were visible in the provisions house, and when the count had been made the. German officer offered her a bank bill. Madame Meunier drew herself up and pushed the bill back with her hand: "I have only given you what you would have taken if I had refused. I do not want your money. You can take find here free of everythingshe you added. "But on one condicharge," tion." "A condition?" Xames Condition. "Yes on condition that I shall go and come at will.

At her. searched her cart and stopped showed their delight at the. find they had made. The legend has it that Madame Meunier, with a raised whip, exclaimed: "Down with your paws. These provisions are for the German general staff." At this, it is said, the patrol divided and allowed the cart to respectfully pass on. Violating all orders by her audacity, Madame Meunier got through the Ger- -man lines, reached the hospital at Nanand distributed her the wounded French provisions anions: and F.nglish soldiers' at the hospital, of money into their slipping pieceswith the triumphant cry: hands and left "Until tomorrow, my lads." The next day and the following and for ten days thereafter Madame Meunier passed through the German lines every day with her charge of provisions for her proteges in the hospital at On the 12th of September, on the road from Nantenil to I.essard. her old cart was suddenly in a storm of shells. The Gercaught mans all round under brief and nervous orders were forming in column, hitohinff their horses to their field guns. Within a short distance from her farm house Madame Meunier picked up the fuse of a shell. It was a French fuse and she believed that the deliverance of the region was near at hand. That night Madame Meunier remained up to watch the German retreat under the railing fire of the famous French and before morning coiinted men d a score or more of the who had passed by a few days before on the high road. At waiting burial one she jumped out of her cart place and found a German soldier, bleeding from a wound, with his rifle beside him. Secures Weapon. '"The gun first, my fellow," ordered Madame Meunier. She seized the rifle, unloaded It, Installed the German in her cart and ten minutes later arrived now surat the hospital at Manteuil, rounded by French Chasseurs. "T brlntr you a prisoner," cried Madame Meunier. "but I am going- to keep the gun. When my husband' comes back from the war It will be proof to him that I have not simply remained at home twiddling my thumbs." Madame Meunier would have received the war cross certainly, and probably the military medal, but the privations she Imposed upon herself and the exhaustion from the great effort she made to provision the French soldiers in the Nanteuil hospital through the German lines during the ten days were too much for her and she died literally of physiHer cal exhaustion and privation. grave In the little cemetery near Lessart Is keptn covered by fresh flowersby the soldiers Quartered ln the viclnto-t- he in ffi.' tciilinsr a cn'.pil'.I from pub;tJ'I Kir of the t 'h'i;; n'J avilluMfi x irr-inrbplln official. in th ar"or.liriK lo cMUjn It'rrar.a. . present war f"r th!j i? a . o KS war Kro'Jt1' the stc fy'.ir a f.lov-- : wheat in Fr?,.-.- .

Seven of "'the Italian custodians at Bethlehem the site of the nativity have recently been interned by the military, authorities, and their place is to be taken by Austrian cus todians. Sweep of Movement. The sweep of this German-Turkis- h movement through the Holy Land is railway by the fact that the military railway, on which the approach to Egypt depends, is believed to be constructed to the desert outskirts of This is the same town referred to ln holy writ, and which created tl.p Biblical phrase "from Dan to as it is the uttermost limit of the Holy Land, where It merges into the desert leading to Egypt. It is this Biblical point, Beersheba, which Is expected to be the military base, to which the railway will bring down supplier from the north, for the advance across the desert, should the attack on Egypt ever be carried out as it has been So that Beersheba today is performing the same function as in Biblical days the last outpost before entering the desert, 150 miles across, with an ocean white sand and almost no water holes none adequate for the watering of a great army. IsThe only mounthere must be such as cavalry ed on camels, with the dazzling white sand as deadly to the eyes and throats of beasts and riders as poison gas is to the men on the firing line. cardinal bourne ln the course of a talk with the Associated Press mentioned the solicitude felt for these sacred shrines and the gradual way their care was changing hands. lie pointed out, however, that the sultan of Turkey had in past years given guar antees- for tho continued Christian pro tection to the shrines, so that while the nationality of this care might change the cardinal felt that it would still be Christian. For specific inquiries on the holy places, the cardinal's entourage referred to the commissioner for the holy land, a member of the Franciscan community located ln the outskirts of London. Information Given. Seen at the Franciscan monastery, the commissioner, Fr. Albert, gave such Information as had filtered through. As to the report of a shooting range at Calvary he pointed out that this did not refer to the sacred spot accepted -fdr centuries as Calvary, but to the Gordon calvary first located by General Gordon a few years ago. After Gordon's services in China, where he became famous as "Chinese" Gordon, lie spent some time In the holy land, and then in the Soudan, where he was a victim of the Mahdi at Khartum before the Kitchener relief expedition arrived. The last time Fr. Albert visited the holy land he was in company with Lord Bute, and as they passed thisstatGordon calvary. Lord Bute ed that Lord Kitchener had told him he supported the claim of General Gordon as to the Gordon calvary. This was a curious circumstance Gordon, the victim of Khartum, locating a new Calvary, and then Kitchener of Khartum, supporting the theory of the explorer whose f;nie was so closely linked with his own at Khartum. The reports reaching Fr. Albert indicated that the Italian and French custodians of the different holy places had been "interned by the military authorities. Austrians or some of the eastern sects replacing them. There are many of their sects Capts, Greeks, Armenians and even Abyssinians though little is known of who Is in charge, except that most of the Latin custodians are interned. While the changes do not constitute a loss of Christian control, yet they show the shifting of the nationality of that control, which has been a frequent cause of international complication in the past. Besides the main points of military, operation in this locality, like Beersheba and Jerusalem, the whole range of this Biblical country is affected by the military activity. But the chief interest is at Bethlehem, Nazareth and Jerusalem. At Bethlehem is the sanca subtererranean tuary of the nativity, feet chamber thirty-tw- o long, encased in rare marbles and constantly guarded and lighted, with a marble slab marking the place of the nativity. At Jerusalem is the basilica over the holy sepulcher, first built by Constantino, often swept away and built again, and now a vast monument, embracing within its "walU and beneath its dome the sacred tomb which has been guarded for ages.
