CHAPTER x.
The Cave Of the Idol.


A cry Of Amusement burst from his
lips. He was breathing affair at the
bottom of the sea!
1t was surcharged with oxygen. It
invigornted him. He felt the thrill
OF renewed life in his body. he felt
his shrunken arteries Jingle as his
heart pumped the new, richened blood
through them.
II seemed unbelievable. At first he
thought that he had died, and that this
was the souls awakening.
Then. with quick fingers. he unfas-
tened Ida's body-piece and tore the
mask from its fastenings. He heard
her sigh.
She sighed and stirred and sat up
on the ocean bed.
'Donnld!" she murmured. IT
thought thought you were dead.
Where are we?"
Il don't know" he answered. in abb
solute bewilderment.
At that moment he heard the mel
low. gOnglike sound that they had
heard aboard the F55.
And slowly, as If in answer to the
call, the jellylike medium that sur
rounded them began to drift away, to
be hung up, as If it We're curtain.
and before their astOnished gaze there
evolved the strnngest stage setting
that could ever have been conceived.
First there came into view the sub
marine. occupying. MS 1t were, the CEN
ter of this stage. her bow sunk in the
ooze, her stern still lower. They had
been lying within Hundred PAGES of
her.
Next appeared the sloping edges of
the crater, seen, not through water but
through clear air, with border of
yellow crinoids, ceaselessly stirring,
as though breeze ruffled them Then
there began to be visible. in the TANKS
OF the mountain, structures. nppar-
emily of hardened mud, taking the
shape of fantastic temples, with pill
lars and doorways with low lintels,
submerged city of cliff dwellers. and
yet each identical with It's neighbors,
so that they seemed to have been fash
toned with the same unchanging pre-
cision us the cells of the bee.
And the whole crater swarmed with
the sea-monsters. no longer invisible,
but outlined In phosphorescent fire.
And. standing in front Of Donald
and Ida, his features clearly visible
through the glass Of his own diving
mask, surveying them with cool. dis
passionate gaze. was Ira MacBeard!
As they stared Mt him. he raised his
hand and struck something suspended
from his neck, giving out the mellow
sound which they had heard before.
Immediately he disappeared from view
In the midst Of swarm OF the mon
sters. which, surrounding Donald and
the girl. began to push them toward
the cavern In the mountain side.
The push was gradual. and appar-
entity the result OF some natural quail
fly not known on land. There was no
sense Of muscular movement. II
seemed to be momentum devoid Of the

sistibly, and yet quietly. the two were
pushed toward the entrance in the
flank of the island.
In vain Donald resisted. In vain he
tried to force path toward the sub
marine, dashing his fists against the
bodies Of the monsters. He made not
the least impression upon those half
spherical forms.
A seaman under water and one in
the mir had very different powers Of
resistance. He might MS well have
fought an army Of animated feather
beds.
Slowly; without strain or attack, he
felt himself being forced forward. He
was held tightly on every side. except
for the narrow gap that opened in
front Of him. He was forced to devote
himself to supporting Ida.
On every side the gloDular, trans
lucent, phosphorescent forms seemed
to crowd In on him. leaving only a
tiny way in the direction of one Of
the mud-pillared entrances. Yet, even
thus, Donald had the impression Of
some unconscious force thut animated
these monsters; 1t seemed like the
scouting expedition Of colony of red
ants, returning with its booty. he
could sense no conscious impulse In
the sen monsters.
His pace became accelerated. and
suddenly, swept off their feet. Donald
and Ida found themselves within n
huge cavern, fuintly illumined by phos-
phOrescence. and rooted with the same
cloudy substance that they had seen
upon the ocean bed without

The Otranto was sunk in collision with the steamship Kashmir off the Scottish coast with loss of 357 American soldiers.
 United States army officers have been so greatly impressed by the kind ness and hospitality of the islanders that they made special request of the Associated Press to carry list was particularly notable. From the Laird of Islay, Hugh Morrison, and his wife Lady Mary, down to the humblest peasant, the islanders have done everything in their power to comfort the survivors and help to re- cover the dead.
 In addition to those already named the army officers honor list includes David MacTaggart, farmer, and his wife and son. MacTaggart, who is the chief of the islands volunteer coast lifeguard, led the rescue parties when the survivors began to come ashore. Standing up to his armpits in the dangerous surf, he pulled out four drowning men, three of whom were soldiers and the other a mem Der of the crew. All of these, with four other survivors, were taken by MacTaggart's young son to the family's home at kilcharan, several miles distant, where they were taken care of until British destroyer took them to Londonderry
 Another lifesaver was Andrew Stevenson, a seaman who holds CaEiegie medal for heroism.
 Others on the army list are Mrs. Sarah Hyland, Alex MacMillan, Miss Jennie Killen, Captain Rob Lawson, Miss Mary N. Clarke, Miss Flora MacAlpin, Miss Euphemie Currie, Donald Gillespie, Hector Mac fadgen, Miss Kate Clark, Ronald McDugash and Miss Mary MacIntyre.
 Many of these already had earned American gratitude by their labors in connection with the Tuscania dis aster.
 Colonel Turnbull, head of the con stabulary of Argyll is warmly praised by the army officers for his able administration of the work of re- covering bodies. Sergeant of Police Malcolm MacNeil, who led the Tus- canla rescue work, is also commended for his tireless labors in recovering the Otranto bodies

HOW IT HAPPENED

Finland became d monarchy in- stead of republic solely because the Films yielded to German domina- tion, according to a communication from Finnish sources published in the Berlin Vorwaerts. The cores pendent asserts that up to April last the Finnish leaders were determined to organize a republic, but in May the government withdrew the meas ure for it's organization and advo- cated monarchy, giving as its reason the fact that Germany desired it.
 The Vorwaerts asserts that al though the German government pre- tended to be neutral on this oues- tion, he political section of the Ger m gerel staff supported mon archy in l inland.

THE PRESS IN RUSSIA

NeWSpapermen have suffered more than any other class of Russians from the Bolshevik regime, accord ing to an Associated Press cores pondent. They are the only ones absolutely unable to find employ ment and who are condemned by the Bolsheviki to literal starvation.
 From the very first day the Boi- sheviki assumed control of the coun- try, fines imprisonment, and sup pression of papers were more ire quent than even in the worst periods of the emperors rule. The fines imposed by the Bolsheviki commis- sars were incomparably heavier than in the old days, when 5000 rubles was the maximum amount. They fined papers 10000 rublcs for pub fishing war news without permission, and one Moscow paper was fined 30,000 rubles for the same offense. For spreading provocative rumors," in Moscow alone, in one day, four newspapers were suppressed, five were heavily fined and ten were in dicted for "reports tending to dis credit the government
 The publishers could not stand the heavy drain of constant fines, the editors dreaded the prospect of d more or less protractcd stay in prison, and the reporters were afraid to write about anything reflecting upon Bolsheviki methods, as that might be construed an attempt to diScredit the government. A news paper acquaintance of the writer, member of the staff of a most pro gressive daily, after having been twice imprisoned and his paper made to pay a fine of 10000 rubles for an inoffcnsive article, confeScd that he was at loss what to do, how to write
 Whenever public dissatisfaction be came too pronounced, the govern ment suppressed all non Bolshcviki, bourgeois publications. This eX- ample of Bolsheviki statesmanship was cmulated by the Petrograd and other soviets so that the Russian press entirely ceased to exist.
 Barring the offical Izvestia, the Police Gazette, as some workmen call Unpublished by every local soviet, and the organs of the Bolsheviki and Left Social Revolutionary part ies. not single newspaper is pub lished in soviet Russia at present All those who made living by writing for the press now find them selves in dire straits and face pov- erty and starvation if unwilling to change their political faith and join the ranks of Bolshevilti journalism.

PLACING THE NAMED

Plans for training and placing in renumerative positions soldiers and sailors maimed in the war worked out by the United States Employ ment Service and the Federal Board or Vocational Education are ready to be put into operation
 The Employment Service has in- structed it's representatives through out the country to obtain nforma- tion that will be helpful in the placement of partially disabled sol diers and sailors. Surveys of labor needs will be made in conference with employers to determine where such men can be used efficiently. The Board for Vocational Educa- tion will maintain in each hospital for the treatment of the wounded, a
 
 disabled men before their discharge from the hospital. If a man desires to continue in the occupation he was engaged in before the war and IS fitted for it, help will be given him in finding work in that calling : should hs injuries make it necessary Tor him to seek new means of live lihood, he will be advised of the lines in which he can enter without finding his injuries a handicap, and a course of training in the work to be adopted will be offered. Every effort will be made to assisat dis abled men toward that occupation in which they are most interested and for which, because of aptitude and experience on one hand and handicaps on the other. they are best suited.
 After the vocational adviser has assited the recuperating patient to choose a suitable occupation, his case, with full information, will be referred to a local board in his con- munity made up of two representa- tives of the district employment office, one physician, two repre- sentatives chosen from the locality, one to be an employer and the other a representative of labor. The board vii see to his training, and while it is in progress he will be supported by the government and given the same allotment and family allowance for dependents as when he was in military or naval service. His expenses, in the main, will be covered from the compensation pro- vided in the vocational rehabilitation act
 Manufacturing establishments, off, fices and farms will be used to give preliminary training, especially for those occupations not yet regarded as being within the school or college field. Afterward, through the Elm ployment Service, permanent suit able position will be found for him. The board will keep in touch as friend and adviser for s:1ch period after employment is found as may be necessary to complete his reestab- lishment as a civilian worker.

SCOTS PERFORM NOBLE WORK ON
 LONELY ISLAND

BRIDGEND, Island of Islay, Scot. land.-There were tears in the eyes of five American soldiers saved from the wrecked troopship Otranto when they said goodbye recently to the good people of the little hamlet of kilchoman. They had pust attended a simple Sabbath service especially held for them by their friend the padre, the Rev. Donald Grant,, in the cottage of the village school mistress, Mrs. Isabelle MacIntyre, who had personally cared for seven of the twenty survivors who reached the island, and who with Mrs. Grant the padres wife, were regarded by the men as second mothers.
 One of the five, Private Carver of Cincinnati, owed his life to Mrs. Grant, who worked for five hours over him before he revived, and who was fighting to save Private William Cooney, of Augusta, Ga, critically i'll with pneumonia. For years Mrs. Grant was assistant matron of big hospital in Glasgow, and Dr. Hugh Mcintyre of Bridgend, who treated all the Otranto survivors, regards her as one of the most skillful nurses in Scotland.
 Big Sergeant C. A. Mcdonald, of Galesburg, Ill.,, was visibly affected over the handshaking, and he said to the Associated Press representa- tive as they drove away to Bridgend, That's almost as bad as it was to leave home"
 But neither Mcdonald nor any of his companions realized the extent of the sacrifice those two women had made for the American boys. or that of other of the islanders includ- ing warmheayted shepard named McPhee, whose two sons, Ronald and John, rescued five men and took four of them to their home. In order to provide for their guests. the Grants, Mrs. Mcintyre and the McPhees not only gave up their own needed clothing but cheerfully used every scrap of food they had to supply the hungry survivors with meals, and were themselves literally starving when American Red Cross officers by accident discovered the situation and drove twenty miles to country store to buy provisions to replenish the larders of the good samaritans
 One of the Red Cross officers in recounting to the correspondent the relief work of the islanders, con- cluded by saying: "The people of the United States owe a debt of gratitude to the people of the island that can never be repaid |" ->-------------->--->----
