ures rushed at him. He threw up IN
arm to ward off the club aimed ut his
head, but succeeded only in breaking
the force of the blow. AS he staggered
back stunned. bullet glanced along
his forehead and ridged furrow
through the thick hair. A second
stroke of the club Jared him to the
heels. ... >, .~.-
Though his mind was not clear, his
body answered automatically the in
stinct that told him to close with his
assailants. He lurched forward and
gripped one, wrestling with him for
the revolver. Vaguely he knew by the
sharp, jagged shoots of pain that the
second man was beating his head with
a club. The warm blood dripped
through his hair and blinded his eyes.
Dazed and shaken, he yet managed to
get the revolver from the man who had
it. But it was his last effort. He was
too far gone to use it. A blow on the
forehead brought him unconscious to
the ground bleeding from a dozen
wounds.
On his way back to Seven Mile Greek
camp Gordon Elliot rode down to the
ford. In the dusk he was almost upon
them before the robbers heard him.
For a moment the two men stood gaZ-
ing at him and he at the tragedy be-
fore him. One of the men moved
toward his horse.
"Stop there! !" ordered Gordon sharp
ly, and reached for his revolver.
The man-it was the miner North
rup-jumped for Elliot and the field
agent fired. Another moment and he
was being dragged from the saddle.
What happened next was never clear
to him. He knew that both of the
bandits closed in on him and that he
was fighting desperately against odds.
The revolver had been knocked from
his hand and he fought with bare fists
just as they did.
They quartered over the ground, for
Gordon would not let either Of them
get behind him. They were larger
than he, heavy, muscle-bound giants
Of great strength, but he was far more
active on his feet. He jabbed and
sidestepped and retreated. More than
once their heavy blows crashed on
his face. His eyes dared not wander
from them for an instant, but he was
working toward definite plan. As he
moved his feet were searching for the
automatic he had dropped.
One of his feet, dragging over the
ground, came into contact with the
steel. With a swift side kick Gordon
flung the weapon a dozen feet to the
left. Presently, watching his chance,
he made q dive for it.
Trelawney, followed by Northrup,
turned and ran. One Of them caught
Macdonald's horse by the bride. He
swung to the saddle and the other man
clambered' on behind. There was q
clatter of hoofs and they were.gone.
Elliot stopped over the battered body
that lay huddled at the edge Of the
water. So badly had the face been
beaten and hammered that it was not
until he had washed the blood from
the wounds that Gordon recognized
Macdonald.
Opening the coat Of the insensible
man, Gordon put his hand against the
heart. He could not be sure whether
he felt 1t beating or whether the throb-
bling came from the pulses In his finger
tips. As well as he could he bound up
the wounds with handkerchiefs and

mind was full Of the problem that had
come into his life. He rode abstract
eddy, SO that he was at the lower ford
of the creek almost before he knew it.
A bilberry thicket struggled down to
the opposite bank Of the stream on
both sides Of the road.
The horse splashed through the ford
and took the little rise beyond with a
rush. Just before reaching the brow
Of the hill, the animal stumbled and
fell. As its rider went headlong, he
across the path.

One U.BOAT CAPTAIN
IS REALLY HUMAN
Submarine Commander Did Aid
Wounded, So Survivors Of
British Ship Say.

One instance In which an enemy sub.
marine commander, after sinking a
British vessel, amazed the survivors
by giving them bandages and liniment
for their wounds, stands out In sharp
contrast with the brutality or indiffer-
ence to suffering practiced by the Ger
man sea pirates. Nevertheless, the
survivors tell story of extreme hard
ship endured in small boats for six
days and nights. Seventeen are miss
ing of the ships company of 80.
Five hundred miles from the Irish
coast large British steamer, outward
bound in ballast, got torpedo death
blow. No time was lost by the ships
company in getting away from the
sinking vessel.
Many of the crew had been wound
ed, especially among the engine room
force. With difficulty the injured were
placed In the boats.
The submarine suddenly appeared
near by and the commander came on
deck. He noticed the wounded, and
calling the boats alongside his craft,
he went inside, returning with band
ages and liniment, which he handed to
the surprised officers in charge of the
boat. This act of kindness saved sew.
eral lives.
A steamers smoke was seen on the
horizon and the U-boat made off rap
idly. The small boats shaped course
toward land, but the wind was light
and unfavorable.
Only a small store of biscuits was
carried. There was water enough for
a very limited ration and in the days
that followed the suns heat was al
most intplerable. Wounded succumbed
one after another and were consigned
to the sea.
Torture reached its limits. Previous.
ly the officers had resorted to physical
force to prevent the Lascars from
drinking the salt water. Now moth.
ing could restrain them and they
eagerly drank the brine. Soon after
ward two died of their sufferings.
Hope had almost died when late
that evening a vessel sighted and
picked them up. They were landed ir
Ireland.

BRITISH RESCUED
BY YANK kvIATORS
Save Crew of SeapIane Forced
Down in Fight With Five
Foe Flyers.

The feat of two American aviators
I'm rescuing the crew of British sea-
plane which had been forced to land
on the surface of the North sea after
an encounter with a group Of German
airplanes, received mention in a Brit
ish communique. The official state
ment, however, said only:
'sIn one case stray bullet shot
away a control, and the British ma
chine was forced to alight. The crew
were subsequently rescued by another
British seaplane which had been sent
to search for Them"
The rescuing machine was manned
by Ensigns Benjamin Lee and j. j.
Schieffelin of the American naval avi-
alton service. Ensign Lee gave the
Associated Press the following account
of the flight:
"Our commanding officer and two
men left the station at 3 80 in the
morning on flight toward the Dutch
coast. Shortly after sunrise they saw
on the horizon five spots which rapid
ly assumed the outlines of German
seaplanes.
Five to one is hardly fight, so the
commanding officer, after first diving
charge through the enemy's formation,
showed down the nose of his plane and
headed homeward. His two men fired
sharply from the after guns, forcing
the German scouts to keep their dis
tance. They were getting away all
right, even leading the enemy into
dangerous territory, when suddenly a
chance shot from one of the Germans
took away a control and the flying
boat crashed nose down. The three
men fought clear Of the wreckage and
got hold of floating spar, while the
Germans, realizing that they were in
dangerous country, scooted away
homeward.
"It was four hours later, when the
patrol was long overdue, that we were
sent out to search for them. We
searched the horizon as we speeded
along eastward, covering, at the visi-
bility, a band about twenty miles wide.
Finally one of us picked up a black
speck, which soon grew into piece
Of wreckage with three men on it.
Dropping our bombs at safe dis
tance, we throttled down our motors
and landed near the crashed seaplane.
1t was a delicate operation. but we
managed to taxi over to the wreckage
and pick off the four men, meanwhile
sending back the good news by wire-
less.
"The only comment the commanding
officer had to make on his experience
was: What's ducking? Just bit
of experienced"

POILU TACKLES GUM
Looked Like Food So They Tried
to Eat 1t.
Now Have Remarkable Regard for the
American Digestive Ap-
paratus.

Paris.-One of the struggles In
which the French soldiers became In
volved when the Germans swept across
the Aisne between scissors and Reims
was with chewing gum. i refer to
Chicle Americanus, the--to us-well-
known vegetable product which may
be found adhering to the underside of
desks, to shoe soles, and to trouser
seats throughout the United States.
The self-same article that at once
solaces the weary shop girl and the
tired business man who endeavors
Herewith to conceal the fume of the
drinks that cheer.
An American ambulance train was
operating In the general region of the
drive, and the army post exchanges
established and operated for 1t by the
Y. M. G. A. were well supplied with
the things which are necessary to the
comfort-physical and mental--of the
American soldier. The Red Triangle
officials had established a storehouse
to supply these exchanges, and car
load of supplies had been shipped to 1t
just before the Germans started their
drive. The carload carried-besides
chocolate, tobacco, canned goods,
cookies, etc.-a considerable quantity
of chewing gum.
When the drive started the Red Tri-
angle workers available started out
with what they could carry to serve
the men to whom they were attached.
The storehouse was left deserted. AS
the French retired they foraged to
keep supplies from falling into en-
emy hands, using what they could and
destroying the rest.
The Poilus who came upon the
chewing gum-like most Frenchmen-
were totally unfamiliar with ii. They
knew only that 1t looked like food,
was wrapped like food, and was stored
with other things they knew to be
food. They ventured further and tried
1t, stuffing the entire contents of a
package into their mouths at one
time. 1t tasted like food. so after a
brief period of mastication they es-
sayed to swallow ii. Too many of
them succeeded. While no serious
casualties resulted the Poilus were in
spired with a remarkable regard for
American digestive apparatuses and
considerable owe for American edibles

Turning "Heinie's" own machine

outfit.
The boys just stumbled onto this
sport, and they like 1t.
Recently In raids the boys brought
back some German machine guns, after
driving the Germans away from theii
own strongholds.

boy asked his pals.

munition that'll fit them"
"Why can't we go over and gel
some?" replied the thinker.
"Never thought of that" replied thu
others; "we're on"
That night they raided the German
trenches and brought back plenty o.
ammunition and mother German ma
chine gun. Next day the guns wer,
playing on the "Heinies."
They're darned good machin

''but the Heinies don't know how t
