,as he gave a hop, skip and a jump off
the bungalow porch,
A little later he was on his way over

They were the cutest, dearest, down
Hest little ehickies you ever would want

they tried to walk and at the queer way
they fell down,
They are very nice little chickens,

rabbit, "and I'd like to stay longer and

SO Uncle Wiggily took up his basket

pink nose twinkle and feel as If it
wanted to snooze.
II think I'll lie down and take q little
sleep said the bunny. Carefully he
lset his basket Of eggs down on a soft

CHAPTER XIII.

DespaIr-and Freedom.
While ! was working at the hos
pital conditions at my old barracks
had been getting worse and worse.
Very few Of the men were absolutely
right In the head. guess. and almost
all had given up hope Of ever getting
out alive. Though they put up q good
front to the Huns. they really did not
care q great deal what happened to
them. The only thing to think about
was the minute they were living in.
The day came back two English
men. who had suddenly gone mad.
commenced to fight each other. 1t was
the most terrible light / have ever
seen. 1t was some time before the
rest Of NJ could make them quit. be-
cause at first we did not know they
were crazy. When we had them down.
however. they were scratched and bit
ten and pounded from head to foot.
Both Of them bled from the nose all
that night. and toward morning one
Of them became sane for few min
utes and then died. The other was
taken away BY the Germans, still
craxy.
Another time IN Australian came
into our barracks and very seriously
told N that he had . drag with the
German ofncers and that he had been
to dinner with them. and had had tur-
key. potatoes. coffee, butter eggs.
sugar in his coffee. and all the luxuries
you could think Of. We Just sat and
stared at him. It seemed impossible
that any Of our own men would have
the gall to torture NJ like that, and yet
we could not possibly believe that It
had really happened. Finally. one
fellow could not stand 1t any longer.
He was nothing but skin and bones.

but he grabbed q dividing board and
there were just two wallops: the
board hit the Australians head and
the head hit the door. Then half q
dozen more bounced onto him and
gave him q real licking. When he
came to he had forgotten all about
the wonderful dinner he did not have.
Not long after this the Russian doc
tors proved to the Germans that there
was no black typhus IN our barracks
and We were allowed the freedom Of
the camp except that We could not
visit the Russian barracks. That was
no hardship 30 me nor to the rest Of

Range. who had . special pal among
the Russians thst he wanted to So.

be wanted to zee him all the more.
A day or two after the order I was
standing outside the barracks door
when I saw this fellow come out with
q dividing board in his hand. I thought
he was going to smash somebody with
1t, 20 I stood BY. But he stopped over
and jammed one end Of the board
against the threshold Of the door.
scratched the ground with the farther
end Of the board and measured again.
He kept this up. length BY length. In
the direction Of the Russian barracks.
The sentry in the yard stopped and
stared at him, but the fellow kept
right on. paying no attention to any
body. Pretty soon he was right BY the
sentry's feet and thought any minute
the sentry would give him the butt,
but he just stored = while and let him
pass. That Lad treasured the whole
distance to the RdsAian barracks, went
inside, stayed y while and calmly
strolled back with the board under his
arm. When he reached our barracks
again he told us he had found vino
mine. What he had found was some.
thing not SO unusual-a boneheaded
German.
There was lot Of bamboo near the
Russian barracks and the Russians
made baskets out of 1t and turned
them in to the Germans. For this they
got all the good Jobs in the kitchen
and had a fine chance to get more to
eat. But they were treated like dogs

frequent use of the telegraph or long

changes in the requirements Of the
market.

Some shippers prefer to divide their
shipments each day among numerous
commission merchants In the sams
market. While 1t may be wise under
certain conditions to check one agent
by the sales Of another the most suc-
cessful consignor seems to be the 90
