THE Adventurer Has Little Conf.
dental Talk With Himself

My young FRIEND" ] said to myself
you are in an awkward position, but, re-
member, you have been in awkward posi-
tons before, when there were no such com
pcnsatlng advantages. Let us consider
these advantages and grow cheerful. You
are privileged to render your country such
service as few single Germans have been
able to render her--if this plan succeeds.
III 1T falls, your sacrifice will not be I'M
known or unappreciated. Whatever hap
pens, you will have climbed rung or two
up the ladder of duty, and perhaps of
fame"
This eloquence pleased my young friend
SO much that he lit another cigarette.
"Consider again." l resumed, what an
opportunity you have been unexpectedly
presented with for exhibiting your re-
sourcefulness and your GOODNESS and YOUR
nerve. If it had not been for that wave
Oh salt water your task would have been
almost too simple. Your own share of
the enterprise would merely have consist
ed IN couple of easy rides on a motor
cycle, and perhaps the giving of a few
suggestions or the making of a few OBJ
Jections which would probably have been
brushed aside as worthless. NoaU you have
really something to test you!"

ing effect. In fact it set me to wonder

This discouraging manner was very
ominous, for the man was as good-naturcd
and agreeable looking a fellow as l ever

"The weather looks like keeping up"

He continued to look at me steadily,
and made no answer at all this time. Then
he turned his back to me very deliberately,
lifted his felt hat, and waved it two or
three times round his head, evidently to
some one in the distance ! saw instantly
