Austria and Uuasla have always been watching cui h other on nccount of tho persistent encroachment of the two on the Hulk tins. Home years ago two Rus sian girls, sisters, went to Vienna a* »pie* for the czar upon the Intentions of the emperor of Aitnlrla regarding schemes to carve Austrian province* out of Hulkati territory. One of these girls. Murla, obtained n jiosltlon at copyist In Hie Austrian foreign office. The other, Vcrn, kept house for tho two In rooms In an apartment building. Since they were In the | ay of tho Bus- slan government they did not want for anything.

Then suddenly Marla received n shock. One day when she was at work a girl occupying a desk In-side her slipped a bit of paper among those be fore her. Marla unfolded It and read that she was susiiected of purloining a certain document Hint hnd passe 1 through tier hands. Grenthall lmd won her In order to find out If she were stenting such documents. Her room would lie searched Hint evening. Marla was not only disturbed at dls covering that Grenthall hail deceived her, but In terror nt the suspicion that existed against Iter. Litlicr her life or a long imprisonment would pay the penalty. As soon ns office hours were over site went to her room and told her sister whut hud occurred. She had stolen the paper in question, and It was concealed In their apartment.

Marla, when the matt who had won her heart to betray her entered, cave hltn n look of anger, then, wbru the searching lirgnn. fell upon her - -ter's neck, sobbing piteously. While III.- two women were > la spoil In each olh er’s arms, their bosoms close up against each other, Vera contrived to ’ake the paper from her sister's t> ,*>>ui nnd slip it Into her own Marla was the one suspected, but It was not to I k ? expected that Vera would be lot off without examination He Moving that she would I k - searched, she cast about for some means of get Hng rid of the paper She startl'd to leave the apartment, but Grenthall or dered her back.

Having done all he , ould In the matter, he withdrew lit* as slstnnts and went away while Marla was dressing. Tho paper was a valuable one for the Russian government, nnd the sisters were anxious to save It That night Vera, dressed ns n boy, stopped out of the npnrtment nnd gained a lower suit without being noticed. The next morn lug, though n wateh had been ostnb fished, she got to the street nnd away without being recognized. Marla went to the foreign office, but was dis charged.
