A Russian
Heroine
By P. A. 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.
