were more serious or loyal than Fa-

And they showed good results too.
Men who do their duty in ordinary
times can always be depended upon
to do their duty in an emergency

the cause Of their Country seemed
intensified because of their foreign or

Ships Hesitation
Costs Dancer $50,
And Starts Mutiny

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. e.-when
the strains OF the Missouri
Waltz" drifted into his tiny bunk
room on the pleasure steamer
South America, Karl Keister
wanted to dance. He had never
felt such a desire before. II was
a new awakening in his heart.
After pulling on his best and
only pair Of trousers, Keister
brushed his wiry hair vigorously.
then he took a final look at him
self IN a small mirror crudely
nailed to the wall. Perhaps II
was the laughter OF women on the
deck above. anyway vanity was
crowding him and the music
beckoned him on.
Through hard labor and saving,
Keister had amassed q fortune"
$3.50. He remembered the money
as he started for the deck where
the crew. men and women, were
enjoying a dancing party. and
placed the roll under his bunk.
At first Keister was shy. Pres
entity, a young woman asked him
to dance. He declined. but she
insisted and told him she would
teach him the step" While
Keister was thus engaged some
one went to his bunk room and
took his fortune"
Four men were accused and
trouble threatened, as the crew
liked Keister. A wireless mes
sage from Capt. George Cummings
said there was trouble aboard.
The message was construed to
mean the crew had mutlnied.
George Caldwell, deputy United
States marshal, and W. F. John
son, OF the Bureau OF Investiga-
ton, boarded the c. F. BIelman,
Jr., mailboat, Saturday noon, and
went to meet the South America.
The mutiny they had expected
was missing and 50 was Keister's
money.
