asked Col. Nassich.
"A Bulgarian gun that / took away
from a Bulgar at Babouna Pass"
But you haven't got any ammuni-
tion for it, said the Colonel.
"Oh. took that from him, too"
Tho ColOnel's smile of pleasure is
praise enough. The soldier standing
in his waist deep trench, looking up
at his commander, seems surprised
and astonished when, in addition to the
Colonel's smile, he feels the Colonel's
hand upon his shoulde- and hears the
Scrvian equivalent Tor good boy!"

You may wonder about Germany's
reserves and how many men she can

many classes France has left, or how
many soldiers Great Britain can

DRUGGISTS OPPOSE
TAX ON tooth PASTE

Druggists have risen in protest
against the proposed plan Of the
government to continue the emer-
gency war tax on tooth paste for an
other year. Tooth paste, the phar-
macists say, is essential to human
cleanliness, and in a petition signed
by nearly 100 prominent druggists,
they vigorously resent the proposed
continuation of the tax and suggest
that the government should tax auto
mobiles and other luxuries. A special
tax on war exports is also recon-
mended by the American Druggists
Syndicate, which started the pro-
test.
The druggists in calling the TAX
absurd and unfair" say the gov

executioner, Juve put on his armor
and waited. Fandor helped him, The
plan was for the detective to lie on
| his bed in the darkcned room, while
the journalist concealed himself in a
large basket at the foot of the bed.
1t was warm night, and the window
was open. y lamp ready for lightning
was on table beside the bed.
| While the men waited they though
tliey heard an automobile stop in front
of the house. Yet nothing happened
The long minutes went with not n
sound to be heaSl but the ticking OF
the clock. 1t was after midnight
Finally the detective thought he heard
a light sound as of some one grazing
against the window sill. Then silence
again. Juve began to think that the
noise he had heard came from dis
| tancc.
Suddenly he felt something move
against his leg. He started to get w
to see what was on his bed when he
was seized and bound as if with n
cable of steel He felt the pressure
slowly but irresistably increasing. He
struggled to free himself At first he
did not call Fandor, not knowing what
kind of danger he had to face. Yet
when the pressure began to be SO
alarming that he feared he was about
to be crushed aS was the woman found
il DIR. Chalek's office. he cried fol
help.
Fandor struggled ont of his basket
and rushed to his friends assistance
Unfortunately, he upset the lamp and
was unable to make light
Meanwhile Juve felt the pressure
relaxing. Soon he was free. What
had happened was that Fantomas had
released in the room a giant boa-con-
strictor The great snake had been
unable to crush the dctectiye because
of his armor of nails. Unable to ac-
complish its purpose, the boa had
skunk out the window through which
| 1t had entered the room.
When Fandor finally was able tC
light the lamp and rush to his friend
he found Juve staggering about, still
suffering from the pressure that had
been eXerted despite his protective
covering. Yet on his lips there was
Il smile of triumph.
What's the matter?"

Outside could be heard an automo
