MITCHEL A una Pavlovna was a Uuaxlaa girl who lived near t!:e Lorder between Aiutrla and Runsiu. Ili-r father and brothers were in the Kussian army fighting MRuliiHt the Germans and Aus trian while Anna and her mother re mained In their cabin home endeavor ing to extract a living from the little patch of ground which atirrounded it. There came a time when the Russian army was driven back past their cabin and in due time au Austrian army ad vanced, taking up the position which had been held by the Russians. One day a general, followed by a member of bis staff, rode up lo the cabin. Dis mounting be went in and looked about him. The cabin had but oue story, but there were three rooms a living room. a kitchen and a dining room. Going Into the living room, the general told his aid to go to the genera la under his command and tell there to come to him for a conference. The aid rode away. and presently the generals began to ride up to the cabin and Join their com mander in the living room. It la nea.'ly always cold In Russia that is, where this part of the great world's war was going on, and Anna was directed to make a fire In a big stovs that stood in the room. This she did, and the aid moved a table In the center of the room on which be spread maps. When half a dozen officers had Joined the eoinmnnder the door of the room they occupied was closed. For three hours the men talked over a plan of attack for the next day. There was not the trench fighting In Russia there was in the west of Europe and the attack was to be more like such warfare bus been in past times. At 10 o'clock In the morning one of the generals was to attack the Russian right flank. As soon as re-enforce ments of the enemy bad been drawn to that point another attack was to be made on the left flunk. This was to be the main offensive, and the ground on that side being disadvantageous for the Russians, the attack there was to be persisted In till the dank was turned. Then a third bolt was to be launched on the center. The commander took a pencil and a bit of paper and noted all these points. elaborating them so that there would be uo mistake. This paper he gave to the Id with Instructions to make a copy of what be bad written for eath one of bis subordinates, that there should be- no mistake through failure of memory This was done. Then the commander called for the paper on which were bis Instructions and, that It might not fall Into any one else's hands, opened the stove door, noticed that the Ore within burned brightly, tossed the paper in and closed the door. Then the officers left the cabin and rode back, each to bis own headquarters. Later In the day Anna went Into the living room to make it tidy after the occupation of the officers, who had left the dirt from their boots. She swept the floor, rearranged the furniture and. taking up the sweepings hi a drstpau, opened the stove door to throw them In. Near the front of the stove lay a bit of paper, or rather fragment, for one-third of It bad bee turned. Auna took the paper out of 4Ke stove and saw writing on It. A Mr little of the writing had been buraaat it was In the German language, so the girl could not understand what It was, but thou,'li she was only a peasant with little or no education, she surmised that it might be of Importance to the Russian military commander. She showed the paper to her mother, who, though she could not decipher the writing on It, agreed with her daugh ter that It might be of service to their countrymen. But when Annn proposed to try to make her way with It through the Austrian lines the woman could not at ones consent, for '.!. knew that if Anna were caught with It on ber she would be killed at once. The problem with Anna was bow to conceal the paier. She finally decided to tear off all but the writing and roll it Into a little 111. She would carry the ball In ber mouth and If necessary would swallow It. She left the cabin at iil-lit'all to try and steal her way through the lines. She sient much time Kcaivhlii.i: for point where the Hue was thin, but failed to find such a place. Hut the soldiers slept, and by crawling through bushes she eluded them. The patrolllui entries were awake, but she watched till one of them had reached the far end of hts txat and passed over it be fore he returned. Beyond the camp sentries were pickets, and these she succeeded In isslng In the same way. When about midnight she attempted to pass the Russian pickets she was Bred at and wounded, but she cried out In Russian: "I't me puss. I bring news to your general." Then the picket came to ber and be'ped her in. She was ti.kcn to the headquarters of the commander. ho was awakened hy her conductor, and after telling her story she unrolled the paer she had and handed It to the general. He read It carefully, theu. looking at bis watch, exclaimed: "It Is past midnight. Then? is no time to lose. Call the men to arms and end the generals to me." In the gray of dawn the Austrian came, but found tiulr enemies ready for them. They were a's.i ready for the felut on their fank, t'te attack on their center and the other flank. The consequence was that the Austrian were thrown bito confusion aud a rout followed. Anna received a uuttal fur her serv i tea, Ghe would accept no other reward.
