who has been false to his trust"
Without remark the young officer left
the headquarters and started the pur-
suit. For weeks he trailed the fugitive
back and forth through hostile country.
At last he captured him and brought
him, bound hand and foot, into room
where Zapata was holding conference.

what fool is this?" cried Zapata In
amazement. "Why do you, an honor

'He is my youngest brother" replied
the officer. II obeyed your order be-
cause you are my chief, but if my broth

For a moment Zapata gazed from the
cringing prisoner to the pale faced Of

Our Strongest Muscles.

The strongest muscle In the humah
body is the gluteus maximus. Hardly
movement of the lower extremlties
can be made without bringing II into
play. but its chief duty Is to balance
the pelvis on the head OF the thigh
bone. 1t assists In carrying the leg
forward and outward In walking, and
without its aid any movement of the
body from the hips would be impossi-
bile.
As II Is the strongest, so is II also the
largest muscle We possess. In the full
grown map 1t can exert force of 40
pounds to the square inch of its section
In the thickest part
Another strong muscle, which Is STU
ated In the calf of the leg, is capable
OF sustaining seven times the weight
of the body. The great tendon, which
is Inserted In the heel bone and which
Is called tendon achilles. is also of sin
gular strength. When removed from
the body II has sustained weight of
1000 pounds.~yet sometimes by the
sudden action Of the muscles Of the
calf. to which 1t belongs, 1t has been
snapped across.

Camp Custer, Battle Creek-Exper
lence gained in the last draft shows
that a man can be examined in about
an hour. Capt. r. G. Wilson of the
S39th, has a system whereby men are
sent through in groups of 80, and
each group is disposed Of In about
three hours.
First, the men are numbered by wet

with indelible pencil. They are called
Up by number to have the various
tests made, and as each man goes for
ward his numbered papers go with
him. He is fed through the mill with
precision gained by experience with
the last batch.
Until they are examined and accept
ed, the men do as did the first bunch,
simply drill and learn as much as pos
sible. If there is anyone whom the
lrill affects badly he is sent back to
barracks, but as soon as they arrived
the recruits were obliged to start
learning.

Every builders ladder is built t.

Are Doing Guard Duty at Camp Gus
ter-leave in Few Weeks.

Camp Custer, Battle Creek.-The
irst men to leave Camp Custer on the
initial lap of the journey to France
will be the eight companies of the
rhirty-third Michigan now on guard
duty here. They are expected to move
IN three weeks, or as soon as the ma
.ional army men can take over the
work of guarding the camp.
The protection of the great stores
Of war materials has been their task
rom the moment the first trainloads
IF lumber were laid down. They came
rom the Mexican border before the
camp began to appear. Day and night,
shifts of 800 men, they have guard
ed against fire, theft and marauding.
They have lived in tents, with the
exception of three companies who
nave been given barracks, and they
nave been left in large measure TO
shift for themselves. AS the camp has
grown, their guardlines have been ex-
tended, until now the farther outposts
must be hauled six miles in motor
trucks to their stations.
The national guard of Michigan
stands highest of all the national
guardsmen in the estimate of regular
army men. Michigan's military laws
ave been so greatly improved during
he past eight years that the war de-
partment at Washington use them as
model for other states tofollow.
The guard itself has shown such
efficiency In its work on the border as
