Captured by a Girl By RUTH GRAHAM X Ned Mason when the United States entered the Kreat world's wnr enlisted iu the army and in time .sailed from New York in a troopship for France. There lie and his regiment were placed in a camp for Instruction, and eventu ally they were all put on the fighting line. Ned was a good German scholar, hut he didn't know a word uf Trench. One day Ned, with his regiment, was charging a German trench. The Amer icans pushed clear over the treucu und some distance beyond. The country was open, and hero and there was a dwelliug house. There was no organ ized force of Germans to resist the Americans, and they pushed on nearly u mile from their base. Unt presently a number of helmets were seen in their rear, and it was evident that unless they got back pretty quickly (hey would be captured. They broke- ranks, each man shifting fpr himself. Mason In his Bight ran through tho yard of n house which was between him and the Germans, screeulng him from their sight. Coming. ,to a well, ie i;t into it and. Catching hold of the bucket, let .himself go down with It. lie was tfe from tho Germans, but then- were disadvantages In his posi tion. There are more comfortable places than a well of cold water. Nevertheless Mason remulncd where he was till he heard no near Bounds; then he began to think of leaving his hiding place. lie did not know wheth er he was within the French or the German lines. If the former, he might help himself out by the bucket ropo and rejoin tils command; if tha latter, by leaving his hiding place he would surely be captured. He dreaded capture by the Germans more than death, but being frozen to death In cold water was not to bo considered. After enduring his situa tion as long ns possible he pulled him self up by the bucket rope, bracing lijmsclf by a foot on each side of tbo well, and thus reached the well houso. After resting n few minutes ho ven tured to put his head up where ho could see about him. It happened that a young girl was coming to tho well for water and was within n few feet of it when Ned rais ed his head up. She gave a shriek and retreated n few steps. Was sho French or German' Ned did not know. Do hoped she was French, hut slnco ho did not speak French he was obliged to cxplalu his dripping presence In the German tongue. The girl listened to him for a fow moments, then broke In. beckoning him to follow her. She led the way to tho house, put lilni in a room nud locked the door. Presently it was opened and BOino dry clothing was thrown In to him. It was now evening, and Ned znndo up his mind that be would remain quietly where he was confined and dur ing the night would make an attempt to escape. IIo knew that be was on Jtho second lloor of tho house, for be bad mounted n stairway. After it was fluili dnrk be went to tho window to reconnolior. The blinds were closed, and he openixl litem as softly as pos sible, hoping not to nttract attention by the act.

IIo had put ono leg out when ho heard n click from n window nt nn angle with tho one ho was leaving. Looking up. ho could discern in tho dim light the girl who had captured him pointing n pistol at him. He at once retreated to the room ho bad left. Ned gave up hope of making nn es cape through that window. Tho girl was doubtless watching him till tha arrival of troops to takp him in chargo nnd would not leave her post till they came. He thought of leaving by tho window, Jetting her shoot him. if she llk'cd. Bettor death than a Gorman prisoner, and possibly she. belnjr u wo. ranu. would not have tho heart to shoot him. While ho was trying to make up his mind what to do ho heard tho tramp of men without,.- then foot steps coming: up the stairs. Tho door was thrown open by his enpturer, and in tho doorway stood Tom Bradley, one of the sergeants of his company. Brad ley started back in surprise, then, look ing at tho girl, said: "Is this your German prisoner" "Oul, monsieur." "Well, you've copturod an Amorlcnn." "An America In 7" "Mon Dleu, mademoiselle! Why the dickens didn't you tell mo you were French 7" "But you spoko German." "That was bocauso I don't know French." "He's your prisoner," said the ser geant to the girl. "What shall wo do with him?" "What you pleaso," said the girl. "Well, I shall march blm to bis trench nnd prefer charges against him for desertion In order to flirt with a French girl." He rnnrcbed Nod downstairs, placed blm In tbo center of eight men and took him to bis comrades, those guard ing him laughing and dialling him by tho way. On arriving at their destina tion Ned garo an account of the Inci dent, much to the merriment of oil who heard him, Ned was told that tho ground first captured by tbo Americans and then lost was retaken, and tho well in wblcn be took refugo was Included In the American lines.
