SAW MUCH SERVICE.

Monday we had visit from Lieut.,
C. c. Beery, now located at Wenatchee
who recently returned from strenuous
service over seas. Mr.. Beery was for
merly a resident of Okanogan county,
and for a time was located in OrOville.
He entered the service soon after the
declaration of war selecting the en-
gineer branch. After reaching France
he was assigned to the 917th ENGINEERS
and in that unit probably saw more
active service and passed through
more exciting experiences than any
man who entered the service from this
county. He could tell story OF war as
il came under his observation that
would fill volume and every para
graph would be both interesting and
exciting. He served on all the fronts
and was in a number OF the greatest
battles of that great conflict. For n
time he was with the Royal Engineers,
a British contingent, on the FLANDERS
front AT Passachendaele, in the cele-
brated and bloody Ypers sector, Lieut..
Reery was wounded in the right wrist
by fragment of shrapnel, the piece
of iron passing through the arm, for
tunately without shattering the bone
He wound up his fighting career in
the Argonne, that death trap in which
so many Americans went west. Lieut.
Reery has a large collection OF sou.
venirs, real souvenirs, of the battle
fields. among them pocket machine
gun in the shape of an automatic
pistol that shoots 30 times. which was
taken from an officer who surrender
ed to him in the Argonne' He returned
TO America none the worse for hl'
months of experience on the firms
line, looking in the very pink or con
dition.

 the Bridgeport Philosophical Society

She took part in the recent demonstrations in Washington and was arrested for participating in a, demonstration at which 8 speech of President Wilson's on Democracy was burned.

The general public is invited to hear Mrs. 1 Bennett, and especially those inter 1 ested in prison reform, for Mrs Ben nett has some first hand knowledge which should prove valuable to those people who are trying to better con- 1 ditions in penal institutions.

CHAPTER xxVi.
A Floating Coffin.

The labOring boat rested so low in the water it was only as We were thrown upward on the crest of a wave that I could gain any view about through the pallid light of the dawn. It was all a desolate, restless waste in the midst of which we tossed while above hung masses of dark clouds ob- sCuring the sky. We were but & hur- ting speck between the gray above and the gray below.
 The first thing needing my attention was the food and water. I crept for ward cautiously and soon had Sam busiiy engaged in passing out the vari- oUs Articles for inspection. Only es- sentials had been chosen, yet the sup ply seemed ample for the distance I believed we would have to cover be- fore attaining land. But the nature of that unknown coast was so doubtful I deterniued to deal out the provisions sparingly, saving every crumb pos sible. The men gruuibIcd at the smalI- ness of the ration, yet munched away Contentedjy enouGt, once convinced that we all shared alike.
 ''Au Ifght lads" I said cheerfully. "NOw we understand each other and can get at work. We'll divide into watches first OH aII---two men aft here and one at the bow. Watkins and I will take 1t watch and watch, but there Is enough right now for all hands to turn Jo and make the craft ship shape Two of you bail out that water till ste'a dry, and the others get out that extra sail forward and rig up a jib. She'll ride easier and r2Rke better progress with more canvas showing"
 The men gradually knocked off work and lay down, and finally I yielded to i Dorothy's pleadings and fell into a sound sleep. It seemed as though 1 | scarcely lost Consciousness, yet must | have slept for an hour or more, my l head pillowed on her hp. When I l awoke SChmitt was again at the steer | ing paddle, and both he and Dorothy were staring across me out over the | port quarter.
 ! What is itT' I asked eagerly, but l before the words were entirely uttered a hoarse voice forward bawled out ex- i citedIy:
 There you see it; straight out sgin | that cloud edge. It's a fulI-rigged l schooner"
 "Ay," boomed another, "an' headin' ! straight cross our course astern." I reached my feet, clingIng to the mast to keep erect and, as the boat was again flung upward, gained clearly i the glimpse 1 sought.
 ''Ay, you're right lads p exclaimed.
 'It's a schooner, headed to clear us by
 q hundred fathOms. Port your helm,
 Schmitt-hard down, man. Now, Sam, 1 off with that red shirt; tie it on the
 boat hook and let fly. They can't
 help seeing us if there is any watch on deck"
