CHAPTER XIV.


Like a chapter From the Past.
Five me had emerged from the
woods behind the clearing, so quietly
that they were in the center of the
camp before Crusoe's shrill bark, OF
the cutlery of the cock, warned us OF
their presence. BY that time they had
us covered. Three Of them carried
rifles, the other two revolvers. One OF
these was Captain Magnus.
Advancing a step or two before the
citizens, he ordered us to throw up our
hands. Perhaps he meant only the
men--but my hands and Aunt James
and Miss Observation-Disclosures also
went up with celebrity. He grinned
into our astouRded faces with a wolf
ish barring Of his yellow teeth.
Never guessed / wasn't here Jest to
do the shovel work, but might have my
" little sideshow to bring off, hey?"
he inquired OF no one in particular.
Here, Slinker, help me truss 'em up"
The man addressed thrust his pistol
In bis belt and came forward, and
with his help the hands Of the Scotch
man, Cuthbert Vane and Mr.. Tubbs
securely tied. They were
searched for arms, and the sheath
knives which Mr.. Shaw and Cuthbert
carried at their belts were taken away.
The three prisoners were then or
dered to seat themselves In a row
on the trunk Of a PROSTATE palm.
The whole thing had happened In
the strangest silence. Except for a
feeble moaning from Aunt Jane, like
the bleating of a sheep, which broke
forth at intervals, nobody spoke or
made a sound. The three rifiemen In
the background, standing like images
with their weapons raised, looked like
a well-trained chorus an an opera.
And indeed 1t was all extraordinari-
ly like something on a stage. Stink
er, for instance. He had q prowling,
sidelong fashion of meving about, and
enormous yellow mustaehes like a VI
king. And the buriy fellow In the
background. with the black whlskers
too bad he'd forgotten his earrings.
But | awoke to the horrid reality OF
it all as Captain Magnus, smiling his
wolish smile, turned and approached
me.
"Wel,. boys" he remarked to his
followers, who had lowered their weap-
ons and were standing about at ease,
here's the little pippin I was teliin'
of. 'Fraid we give her a little scare
Dustin In s. sudden, SO she amt quite
so bright and smilin' as I like to see.
Its all right, grille; you'll soon cheer
up when you find out you're goin' to be
the little queen O. this camp. Things
will be all your own way now--so long
as you treat me right" And the
abominable creature thrust forth a
hairy paw and deliberately chucked
me under the chin.
/ heard a roar from the iog--and CO.
incidentally from Captain Magnus.
For with the instant response OF an
automaton--consciously | had nothing !
at all to do with It'll had reached up

up by Private Thomas G. Jones, an
American. After taking his buddy to
safety, Jones disappeared. Back In
the lines again, Haley was captured by
the Germans and lost all trace Of his
rescuer.
On May 20, 1921, Haley arrived at
the home Of his sweetheart In Canada.
His wedding was to occur at 8 o'clock
and the guests were assembled.
Then Private Jones reappeared. He
had deserted the army at Fort Slocum,
N. Y, because, he said, they were going
to send him back to Germany. He was
suffering from mustard gas burns and
had q wife and two children dependent
upon him.
Haley acted quickly. Telling Jones
to return TO his wife and keep quiet,
he informed his fiancee of his intention,
She declined to wait while he served
the term Jones would have to spend
In prison. At the hour of the wedding
Haley took a train for st. Paul, MINI.
He gave himself to the first police
officer he encountered, declaring he
was Private Thomas G. Jones, wanted
for desertion.
Tried by eourt-martial at Fort Crook,
Neb., Haley was sentenced to dis.
honorable discharge and six months In
prison. He had served all but Is days
of his sentence when authorities, by
checking fingerprints and Identified

Legion Is petitioning President Harding
to purge the ~dishonorable discharge

UNCLE SAM TO
AID MARKETING
SURPLUS GOODS

That the department Of COM
merce with its various bureaus GOV
ering the most important indus
tries OF the country Is the point of
contact between the American
business man and foreign and do
nestle markets, was the assertion
Of Gordon Lee, chief of the auto
motive division of the department,
in speaking before $50 members
Of the Commercial club this noon
at luncheon in the Marion hotel.
Mr.. Lee called attention to the
fact that automotive industry was
third in point of producing fin
ished product, fifth In point Of cap
ital and ninth In point OF person
al, and that 80 per cent of the
automotive products used over the
entire world were OF American
make.
The foreign market acts as
take UP for the surplus, said Mr..
Lee In speaking OF what the de-
partment was now doing in build
ing up foreign trade.
I'm the year Of 1919 and 1920
the export trade in the automotive
industry amounted to $137,00O,-
900 and just last month the ex-
port business in the repair parts
alone amounted to $19,000,000."
The result of building up such
an immense foreign trade makes
possible for the absorption OF the
surplus and general prosperity Is
thus stabilized, he said.
The service that the department
Of commerce is now rendering the
American business man in the
way of obtaining information on
markets and advertising was gone
i into in detail by Mr.. Lee, who
stated that Mr.. Hoover contem-
plated in making 1t a $5,O00,OoO
