CHAPTER vIlI.
on the Mountain Road.


The low gray car which carried the
chancellor was on It's way through the
mountains. It moved deliberately, fol-
two reasons First, tho chancellor was
afraid of motors. He had horseinan's
hatred and fear Of machines. Second
he was not of mind to rouse King
Karl from nights sleep, even to bring
The hand Of the Princess Hedwig. Els
intention was to put up at some Inn
in village not far from the lodge and
to reach Karl by messenger early in
The morning, before the hunters left
for the day.
Then, all being prepared duly and ia
order, Mettlich himself would arriys
and things would 20 forward wits

cliff rose above them, a wall broke
here and there by the offtake of ne

Sc of dangerous curve afeot.
II required diplomacy to get him out.
But 1t was finally done, aud his heavy
figure, draped in its military cape,
went on ahead, outlined by the lamps
Of the car behind him.
He was well around the curve, and
The cliff was broken by wedge of
timber, when curiously shaped OBJ
rect projected itself over the edge Of
the bank, and rolling down, lay almost
at his feet The iamps brought it into
sharp relief--a man, gagged and tied,
and rolled, cigar shaped, in an auto.
mobile robe. ss
The chancellor turned, and called To
his men. Then he bent over the bun
die. The others ran up, and cut the
bonds. What with cold and long IN.
action, and his recent drop over the
bank, the man could not speak. One
OF the secret service men had q flask,
and held it to his lips. An amazing
situation, indeed, increased by the dis
covery that under the robe he wore
only his undergarments, with n sol
dier's tunic wrapped around shis shout
ders. They carried him into the car
where he lay with head lolling back,
and his swollen tongue protruding.
Half dead he was, with cold and long
anxiety. The brandy cleared his mind
long before he could speak, and he
saw by the uniforms that he was In
the hands of the enemy. He turned
sulkily silent then, Convinced that he
had escaped one death but to meet an
other. Twenty-four hours now he had
faced eternity, and he was ready.
He preferred, however, to die fully
clothed, and when. in response to his
pointing up the bank and to his In
articulate mouthings, one of the secret
police examined the bit OF woodland
with his pocket flash. he found pair
OF trousers where Milky had left them,
neatly folded and hung over the branch
Of tree. The brandy being supple
mented by hot coffee from patent bot

effort, and sat up. His tongue was
still swollen, but they made out what

 The N. c. O. gave the matter much thought, and then forwarded this re- ply:
 Green was an old comrade of mine I visited him when he was dying of his wounds, and then saw him buried.

CHANCE ID ENLIST
 AS TANK WARRIOR
Recruiting Office to Be Opened in
 Hartford July IS

Hartford, July 8.-Men of military age who possess the fighting qualities demanded in the Tank Corps of the National Army will have a new op- portunity to join that unit when Lieutenant John R. MacMillan visits Hartford on July Is for the purpose of securing recruits. Connecticut has supplied over 100 virile specimens of manhood to the Tank Corps through the office of Leo A. Korper, federal director for Connecticut of the United States Public Service Reserve and the, War Service Exchange, government agencies with which the Connecticut State Council of Defense co-operates.
 Lieut.. MacMillan will meet pros-t pective recruits at MT. Korper's of flee, Room 25, State Capitol for one or two days. Applicants should make appointments through Mir Korper Lieut.. MacMiIlan succeeds Lieutenant T. w. Crosby in conducting the re- cruiting in this state.
 Draftees Will Be Accepted.
 The Tank Corps is taking men of military age regardless of draft class : if1cation. Those subject to an early draft call are advised to act promptly if they prefer the tank service to any. other branch of national service. In its call for men the Tank Corps is especially desirous of enlisting or in- ducting red d-blooded tWO-dsted men who relish the aggressive front line engagements in tank warfare.
 All applicants are required to pos sess soldierly qualities of courage, stamina and initiative combined with a physique equal to the emergenciesj of this motorized unit. Because it's ranks are filled with men of highi standards mentally and physically,I the Tank Corps expects to establish an enlisted personnel second to none in the army today. This aim provides only another inducemet for the rightt men.
 Early promotions are one of the prominent incentives for joining the, Tank Corps. Enlisted men who will make good material for officers com missions will be sent to a school of instructions at Gettysburg, Pa. A 1 months course is require and men; who qualify are commissioned or placed on the eligible list.
