/, : Sell His Country.
Pierre Lenoir, convicted on a charge
of having held. intelligence with the
enemy was executed at Santa Prison,
Paris. at o'clock Friday morning.
Pierre Lenoir was the third person
TO be executed on charges arising out
OF attempts made by German agents
to conduct a "defeatist" campaign in
France,in 1915 and 1916. The others
who met their death as a result OF
revelations made against, them were
Bolo Pasha,, executed April IT. 19is'
and M.sDuval, who faced the firing
squad July II, 1913. Both were di-
rectors of the Germanophile newspa-
! per Bonnet Rouge.
LenoiS who, as young man, had
led an idle and dissolute life, came
into public notice in 1918, when the
arrest OF Senator Humbert, owner OF
the PARTS Journal, was followed by
charges against several men who were
alleged ito have acted as agents of the
Germans in buying the newspaper
from NJ. Humbert. 1t was shown early
in the Investigation that Lenoir had
paid NJ Humbert large sums Of money
which he had received from Germans
and that Lenoir had received a COM
mission'o 'of about 5000, 900 for his work.
The money handled by Lenoir came
into France by sthe way of Switzer-
Hand, Alderman agent named School
her, acting for Germany in that coun-
try.
Lenoir was doomed to death on May
s, 1919 and desperate but futile efforts
were made to gain communication of
| his sentence. Lenoir was removed to
Santa Prison when what appeared to
be his last chance for life had van
ished, but on, September 10. last, when
the firing squad was in position" and
all preparations for his execution mad
been made, his life was spared for a

just like Benz" and of his girlish
sweetheart. who was cashier at the
Acme Lunch, and who admitted that
''she always had known Ben was
going to be a great man some day"
Then, when the governor Of Ben's
state worked his pull and got Ben
sent home right in the midst of it all,
there was another grand hooray-
parades, banquets and so on And
they raised that testimonial fund for
him to buy home with and presented
him with a gold medal. Next. some
rapid-firin' publshin' firm rushed out
a book, "Private Ben Riggs Own
Story" which he was supposed to
have written. And then, too. he went
on in a vaudeville sketch and found
time to sign a movie contract with a
firm that was preparin' to screen his
big act, TRUE to Life"
1t was along about that stage that
Private Ben, with more money in the
bank than he'd ever dreamed came
scheme in his nut that noble pluto
like him ought to have big estate
somewhere and build a castle on It.
So he comes out here ON tho south
shore. let's O real estate shark get
hold Of him. and the next thing he
knows he owns about a hundred acres
OF maybe the most worthless land on
the whole island. His next move is
to call in an architect, and inside Of q
month young army of laborers was
layin' the foundations for what looked
like a city hall, but was really mt
to be Riggsmere Manor, with Is
rooms. 90 baths. 4 towers and dinin'
room IS feet long and ceiling 16
feet in the clear.
Then the slump came. I forget
whether it was new hero, or an
other submarine raid. Anyway. the
doings Of Private Ben Riggs ceased
to be reported in the daily press.
He dropped out of sight, like a nickel
that rolls down sewer openin'. They
didn't want him any more in vaude-
vile. The movie producer WEIGHED
on his proposition. The book sales
fell off sudden. The people that
wanted to name cigars or safety
razors after him, or write songs about
him. seemed to forget.
For few days Private Ben couldn't
seem to understand what had hap
pened. He went around In kind Of
a daze. But he had sense enough
left to stop work on the Manor. coun-
tcrmand orders for materials and pull

And he owed me six weeks back

the tears from his eyes with his gold
laced coat sleeve.
Very sorrowfully they determined
to return to the upper world without
their former companion. and SO Ozma
gave the order to begin the march

The Fate of the Tin WOodrnan

without stepping upon them. But
when they saw the eggs. all desire to
advance departed from the warriors.
and they turned and fed madly into
the cavern, and refused to go back
again.
Our friends had no further trouble
in reaching the end Of the passage
and soon were standing in the outer
air upon the gloomy path between the
two high mountains. But the way TO
Ev lay plainly before them. and they
fervently hoped that they had seen
the last of the Nome King and of his
dreadful palace.
The cavalcade was led by Ozma
mounted on tho Cowardly Lion, and
the Queen Of Ev, who rode upon the
back Of the Tiger. Tho children Of
the Queen walked behind her. hand in
hand. Dorothy rode tho Sawhorse.
while the Scarecrow walked and COM
manded the army in the absence OF
tho Tin Woodman.
Presently the way began to tighten
and moro of the sunshine to come in
between the two mountains. And be-
fore long they heard tho "thump!
thump! thumpr Of tho giants ham
mer upon tho roar
How may We pass the monstrous
man of ironr' asked the Queen. anx-
ious for the safety of her children.
But Dorothy solved the problem by
word to the magic belt.
The giant paused. with his hammer
held motionless in tho air. thus allow
ing the entire party to pass between
his cast-iron legs in safety.
If there were any shifting, rock
colored MONIES on tho mountain side
now, they were silent and respectful,
for our adventurers were not annoyed,

WARRIORS BECAME EGGS,

They left the Nome King scowling at
them from his throne. and had no
thought of danger until Ozma CHANGED
to look back and saw a large number
of the warriors following them in full
chase. with their swords and spears
and axes raised to strike down the
fugitives as soon as they drew near
enough.
Evidently the Nome king had made
this last attempt to prevent their es-
Gaping him; but it did him no good,
for when Dorothy saw the danger
