CHAPTER v.

The rear lights of the train he had
not taken swayed out of Delhi station
and King grinned as he wiped the
sweat from his face with a dripping
handkerchief. Behind him lowered the
hook-nosed Ismail, resentful of the un-
expected. In front of him Saunders
eyed the proffered black cheroots sus-
piciously, accepted one with an air Of
curiosity and passed the case back.

One day last summer tourist drove
hurriedly up to the home Of Enos A.

out and approached the naturalist.

The naturalist's eyes turned toward
the 100-mile sweep of snowy mountains
that cut the blue sky, then swept the
valley below and rested on noble crags
and streams that wound among groves
of pine and aspen. Slowly he shook
his head.

Sandy's Extravaganza.

Sandy had taken Jeanie to the vii
lage fair. They had seen all the 'free
shows but there was a movie show
for which a charge was made and
which the girl wanted to see.
"Wfnna We TAX me?" she said, per-
suasively. "It is only nickel"
At the door, however, Sandy discov-
cred that the price of admission was
a dime for adults.
He graoned. It was too late to re-
treat, and so he reluctantly parted with
the 20 cents; but when he got inside he
said:

merous communications from former athletes between fifty and sixty years old asking If there was not some branch of the service where they could be use ful. In the event of war 1t will be necessary to guard railroads, bridges and munition factories, and many men past military age believe that they can get into good enough physical shape to perform these duties.
 The league will not be limited to col lege men, but will be open to all men be- tween the ages of fOrty-flve and sixty. Mir. Camp has mapped out a course of training, which he believes will be ef- hcient and yet will not interfere with the members routine business duties. The squad which went into training at New Haven will give up one morning hour a day at first--frOm s to 9-to walking and other exercises, which Mir. Camp will suggest. The plan is to take only light exercise at first, gradually working the men into shape until they are able to tramp fifteen or twenty miles day without fatigue.
 In the manufacturing cities such as New Haven and, in fact all over New England, there will be a great amount of guard duty to perform, and MT. Camp believes that if the older men, who have already shown mu"h enthusi- asiasm to do their "bit," can be worked up to proper physical condition the mi litia will be relieved of much of this home guard duty.
 After the league gets under way In New Haven 1t is expected that the movement will be taken up quickly throughout the country.

 The committee believes the time has come when astrological stations should be established and maintained, espe- cially in conjunction with military sta tions maintained for the instruction of aviators.
 In a telegram read by President Al. an R. Hawley at the Aero Club of America banquet in New York pr. Charles D. Walcott, secretary of the Smithsonian institution and chairman of the executive committee of the Ma tional Advisory Committee For Aero nautics, advised its members to urge most strongly the establishment and maintenance of the astrological surveys over North America and adjoining wa ters.

 New Haven.-The Internal Defense league, an organization to be con- posed chiefly of former athletes be- tween the ages of forty-hye and sixty, Is being organized by Walter Camp, Yale's football adviser, for home guard duty in the event of war. MT. Camp announced that the league would be organized at New Haven, when he will start q body of prominent New Haven business and professional men in a course of physical training. The league has been started by Mir. Camp at tue request of many former college ath- letes who are over military age, but who are desirous of performing some kind of guard duty which ordinarily would have to be performed by the mi- litla. The object of the new organiza- ton Is to make the regular militia available for more important duties.
