That story of those four Michigan
men lost on Lake Parker during the
storm last Friday night has several
elements Of interest besides establish
ing the facts that the gentlemen par
ticipating in the thrilling adventure
are born fishermen A born fisher
man. be it understood, is not SO much
q man who can catch fish as one who
has a fine imagination and talent for
telling ''how 1t happened" Local natur-
alists are immensely interested in the
statement that Jewish may be caught
in Lake Parker; also, the spectacle of
an alligator disporting himself and
pursuing boat in midwinter, would
be a novelty to the Oldest Inhabitant.
Far be it from us. however to spoil a
perfectly good story or to belittle the
discoveries made by our Michigan in
vestigators, merely because they con-
fiict with mere notions, with no bet
ter foundation than our observations
OF lifetime.

When 1 saw this l started aTtCr ETia in earnest, and he didn't have a chance in the world. That car had done seven weight miles an hour on her test, and hardly gave German horses credit for such speed as that AS we got closer to him Dave quit firing, for 1t would have been murder to shoot man in trap such as he was in. He kept to the center of the road. though, and he wouldn't give an inch.
 was blowing that old siren for all 1t was worth, and opened the cut-out to make all the noise I could, trying to scare his horse off the road, and the animal wanted to get out of the way, too, but the rider held him in.
 At last Dave said, "I'll make him move" and he sent bullet so close I'll bet he could have kissed 1t as 1t went by. He gave way then all right, and as he did I pulled up alongside of him. AS we came up he pulled a re- yolyer and fired two shots, which just went over my head. Dave leaned over and caught him by the belt. He yank- ed him clear of the saddle and slung him into the back of the car. He land ed on top of the captain, and those two were so mixed up you couldn't tell one from the other.
 l stopped the car as quickly as l could, and we soon had him Saying Uncle" though he fought like a wild cat for a few minutes. The captain got the worst of 1t, for he had beau tiful "shiner" and the skin of his knuckles. When we searched him We found thirty-three English ten shilling notes on him. He had taken them from some of our fellows, of course, but what made us mad was that the captain would not allow US to keep them.
 He said It would not he honest, but noticed that when vS handed him over to some French cavalry little later they didn't hesitate about taking them, and Dave. nnd I "at |" .h- - = =

Then Took Another Look and Saw
 the caValrymen Were Germans. I had taken a shorter way coming back, and 1t was along very marrow road. Dave was sitting in the front with me, and the captain was In the tonneau. We were bowling along at a fairly good pace and l had visions of being back in time for dinner.
 I noticed q few cavalrymen away ahead of Us, but they were so far ahead I didn't pay much attention to them. The first that knew we were striking anything out of the ordinary was when Dave grabbed my rife out Of the buck ct and began firing over the wind shield. Then took another look and saw the cavaIrymen were Germans. .and there Were seven of them.
 The road was 50 narrow that there wasn't Il ghost of a chance to turn around, and I figured that if we rushed them We could bluff our way through, whereas if We stopped they would see
 
 and the chances were we would get the worst of 1t. l was so excited l was trembling all over, and the captain was shouting orders at the top of his voice.
 Dave was the only cool man In the car, and he was sending shot after shot at them as calmly as if he were on a rifle range. He shouted to me: "Go like h-l! Crowd 'em off the road!'
 When they saw how we were gain ing three of them left the road and hit out across country. thought Dave must have hit the other fellow, for he simply put the spurs to his horse and stuck right to the middle of the road. He didn't attempt to fire at us at all. He was just going for all h2 was worth

A German sniper was killed one night, and the fellows who brought him down decided to play joke on an Irishman in their regiment They took the body of the sniper and carried 1t about a hundred yards off the road, where they propped it up against tree and also fixed q rife to its shoul- der. Then they went in search or the Irishman. When they found him they told him that he had been ordered to go up the road and hunt for sniper who was pOtting ut the passing traffic.
 The Irishman took his rifle and went out in search of the German. UT course he found hlm, for he couldn't have passed without seeing the trap which had been laid for him. The minute he caught sight of the gray uniform he dropped behind a bale of hay which was lying on the side of the road and started firing at the supposed sniper. The fellows who had sent him up there came along and without being lobserved by the object of their joke proceeded to enjoy the fun. The Irish man couldn't understand how 1t was possible for him to miss his mark at such short range, and Ht each shot he was swearing at his luck. Finally he hit the body so many times It fell over and it was not until then that he realized how he hud been fooled.
