Garcia, who had been standing in his
stirrups scanning the long, fiat road
ahead, spoke sharply: "Caramba |!
Here come those very soldiers now!

Far away, but evidently approaching
at a smart gait, was a body of mounted
men. After one look at them Dave
cried:

This was luck, he told himself. Ten
miles more and they would have been
safe, for the Rio Grande is not a diff
ficult river either to ford or to swim.

laughing with excitement.

Father O'Malley had ridden on ahead

Alaire followed leisurely. Now that
the moment of their parting was at

Trial by Ordeal in Early Days.

Trial by ordeal goes back to ear
Hest days, and in the Book Of Num-
bers there is case recorded of a
Hebrew woman having been required
to submit to q test. Among the Hin
dus the ordeal has been practiced by
fire, by water, by poison or drinking
water in which deities had been
washed, by chewing rice, by hot oil,
by red-hot iron, and by drawing two
images out of a jar. Livingstone de-
scribed the practice as being common
among all negro races north Of the
Zambesi, the natives having the great
est faith in it's efficacy. And it has not
always failed, or the trepidation of
the criminal before the dreaded ordeal
has frequently betrayed him.

Mammal Got Into Trouble Through
Nosing Around Too Promiscuous-
iy Among Strangers.

Seals are very plentiful among the
when asleep on the skerries. They are
attracted by musical sounds, and at
one time considerable number were
said to make their appearance in the
bay Of Hoy when the bell of the parish
church close by was rung.
Seals are usually much on their
guard against the approach of men,
but when unmolested frequently come
close to boats or people ashore. An
instance of this occurred recently off
Skraill bay, in Sandwich, where some
yawls were at paddock fishing, writer
in thes Edinburgh Scotsman says.
A seal made its appearance, and
showed great curiosity as TO what was
going on. 1t swan repeatedly between
two boats short distance apart, and
ultimately devoted it's attention to one
OF them, diving under the boat and
coming up first on one side and then
on the other. At last it made spring
at fish which was being hauled out
of the water on a hand line. 1t failed
to get proper hold, but the fish was
thrown back to afford another chance,
which the seal quickly seized. 1t kept
so near that eventually one Of the fish,
ermen got hold of its tail, and by the
assistance of another it was taken into
the boat.
1t was a young one about three feet
In length. 1t did not seem to appreciate

WHERE SUBMARINES GO OUT
With English Channel Blocked There
is Only One Open Channel From
German Ports into Atlantic.

Ihere are two ways of getting into
the Atlantic ocean from German ports.
One is through the English channel.
which has been blocked since the be-
ginning of the war; the other is
through the North sea, which English
naval strategy has thus far failed to
close.
The narrowest outlet of the northern
route is between the Orkney islands
and the coast of Norway distance of
24O miles. But the depth of water at
this point is such that submarines may
easily dive below any mine or net sys-
tenn that might be stretched across the
wide neck of the bottle here.
South of this line the water becomes
shailower, and mine or net laying be-
comes effective from Marlborough
Head directly across to the coast of
Jutland, passing over the famous Dog
ger bank, with from 60 to 12O feet Of
water, to the shallower depths over the
Jutland bank. Below that point there
is more ShOal water, with frequent
banks and ridges and flats which have
to be carefully avoided by Mariners
and which make submarine operation
difficult.
The problem, then, lies in the east
ern part of the North sea, where par
ticularly deep waterloo to 500 feet
off the coast of Norway, affords pas
sage for the submarines. German u
boats easily pass from the Baltic
through the Cattegat-an international
waterway-into the deep water found
just off the Skaw at the tip of Den
mark, and thus into the North sea,
hugging the shores of Norway all the
way.
A stopper in the Cattegat would
solve the problem, and the feat is not
impossible, although England would be
greatly aided by the neutrality of Nor
way and Denmark.
Since under present conditions an
actual blockade Is impossible, the evil
has been reduced by canalizing it. In
other words, the navy is forcing the
U-boats to take certain narrow and
difficult channels, and keeping as close
a watch as possible over these routes.
But they cannot stretch nets deep
enough to block the only exit remain
ing to Germany. Perhaps the new
device" which American inventors
hope will eliminate the U-boat as
factor in the war has to do with an
effective stopper for this outlet

a Cure for Conceit.

"When lecturing in the north Of
England" says Sir Ernest Shackleton,
the famous explorer, before it was
time for the proceedings to begin on
one occasion, I took a peep through
the curtain TO see what kind of an
audience was likely to have. Things
looked promising, and l said so.

you are going to have as big an audi
ence as the handbell ringers had last
week.

In the midst of the tumult Benito in

IDEA JUST SUITED DR.. HALE
Famous Minister Declares That He
Had Always Wanted His Church

You will have to ask someone In the

1t often happened that Doctor Hale,
in the midst of a busy day, would find
the luncheon hour at hand and an
important appointment still pnmet.
1t was his custom to invite his caller
into his study, and ask the janitress
to make an oyster stew. The sexton
resented Doctor Hale's informality.
The time came for a new sign to be
placed on the front of the church, and
Doctor Hale and the assistant pastor
were standing in the vestry aisle dis
cusSing just what the wording of 1T
should be. To their surprise the con-
versation was suddenly interrupted by
the deaf sexton who stood far enough
away to make doubtful the ability Of
q normal PERSONS overhearing what
had been said. "Tll tell you what to
put on that sign" he exclaimed.
"'Come in Everybody welcome

The Chicago Collegiate Bureau Of
