effort was begun. Five men, including
Schnicke, who called themselves "The
Lucky Five went into the wilderness.
One by one all abandoned the search
except Schnicke. Curiously he made
the discovery at a place visited before
by himself and others interested in
the search but not recognized. 1t was
a small body of water called Badger

angle and something about 1t struck
him as being in accord with the chart.
He searched for an old camp that
White had marked and after some

on all the outcroppings he could find

stork's nest built on the top of the
Cathedral of Colmar in Upper Alsace,

Beware of the man who does not
look you clearly in the eye. He has
possibilities of evil in his nature.
There are eyes which are luminous.

Men and women of the world are
accustomed to judge human nature by
the expression of the eye. Many peo-
