THE SILENT ENEMIES

1t was in war-torn France. Back
in the last grim days of 1917, the
10Th Infantry, First Division, one of
the first American outfits "over
there" was making final prepare
tions to undergo its baptism of enc
my fire. A constant boom-boom
could be heard throughout the Camp
but the menace of being among the
twisted wire and screeching shells
within the next few days was not the
uppermost thought in the minds of
those doughty Americans. They
were thinking of back home and
hearts were heavy for the uncertain
welfare of thir loved ones in the
event of their being dumped off,"
Amid feverish preparations for an
early departure, the news was re-
ceived that the Government back
home had gone into the Insurance
business for it's soldiers. The Off
GERS of the regiment were commanded
to call the men together and sign
them up for life insurance. An
insurance value of $4,000 had been
placed on each soldier, but this entire
hmount was not compulsory.
With one end of the line in a mud
dy street, the other in back room of
q tiny billet where a second lieuten-
ant wrote applications as fast as a
set of simple questions could be ans
wered, Uncle Sans soldiers were
taking insurance while big guns
roared but few miles away.
"Put me down for $4,000, lieuten-
ant"
"Why don't you take ten"
,",Well, make it ten. Who can
tell"
This was heard up end down the
line in that little French village as
the boys stopped off with lightened
hearts, ready to face the enemy.
Those who made the supreme sacri-
flee, as many did, during the follow
ing hazardous days left a cash es-
tate to those back home.
Today there is no war. Peace has
come and with discharge many of the
veterans allowed their insurance to
lapse thinking all imminent danger
past. BUT-old age dependency,
uninsurability, and want are the
silent enemies just in the ofing, more
menacing by far than rumbling can
mons.
Certain treasures there are which
veterans acquired from the world
war. Next to experience is the right
to be insured by the U. S. Govern
ment. Here is insurance offered only
to veterans of the world war, at a
cost which cannot be met by any life
insurance company for participating
insurance with similar benefits. This
is made possible because the cost of
administration is not levied on the
premium but is borne by the govern
ment in a separate appropriation.
This u. S. Govrnment Life insurance
is issued only to former soldiers, sail
ors, marines and army and navy
nurses The Veterans Bureau, Min
neapolis, C.. D. Hubbard, Manager,
reports a marked tendency of the ex-
service men to reinstate their Insur-
ancebefore the expiration of the time
limit. Under the simple rules of re-
instatement, hundreds of daily appli-
cations are daily being made. The
"Silent Enemies" will taste the bitter
dregs of defeat as did those enemies
met on French battlefields in 1913.

HUNTS ON HONEYMOON
Young Couple Take an Unusual
Wedding Trip Into Wilds.
Bride Stays Lions, Jaauars, lscpards,
Rhinoceroses and Other Beasts ct
the Jungie-Has Many Thrill
ING Adventures.

New York.-No one would believe
to look at Mrs. Augustine Healy, that
she had slain lions, jaguars. leopards,
rhinoceroses and other beasts In the
wilds Of the jungle. She is small and
slight, has a soft voice, likes to sip
tea at>five o'clock, and is only twenty
three. .--.. - ..-- .a.
= When Mrs. Healy set out for Japan
April %, 1920. for honeymoon trip,
neither she nor her husband Of q day
had any intention of shooting any
thing. They didn't even have a gun.
How came it, then, that they re-
turned laden with five lion skins, one
Of them that of. a lion shot by Mrs.
Healy-the third largest lion ever
shot in British East Africa the head
Of freak rhinoceros, the only one of
Its kind ever killed; a leopard skin
and two feet and tusks of an elephant,
each so pounds Of ivory?
"You see," Mrs. Healy told, as she
slipped tea, latter we had spent five
months walking through Japan. we
went on to China and the Philippines,
then to Indo- China. Siam and India.
In Mysore we tried tiger hunting
without success and then went to
Africa. In Nairobi, British East A.
RIGA, we discovered Will Judd, who
shot game with Roosevelt on his Afri-
can trip. -.- .:s
II had been practicing with my rifle,
and one day we set out with ten
mules, Is porters and Is oxen, escort
ed by Judd, all bent on lion hunt"
Mrs. Healy said that in the Nairobl
wilds the party frequently saw 200
elephants at time, droves Of hyenas,
zebras and many deer, lions, tigers
and rhinoceroses.
up the Cause river" she contin-
ued, 1--WE heard one night terrifying
roar. Lionsv the word passed about.
Presently we saw a lion sneak over
and sniff at dead elephant we had
left as bait. A shot sounded. I saw
the lion dash up the river. We had
missed him."
1t was on their next hunt that Mrs.
Healy succeeded in downing the third
largest lion ever killed in Africa.
1--WE were awakened by deafening
roars," she said. I'VE saw a. large
lion battling with lioness that was
attempting to eat our kill. Through
the freight I could see other lions
stalking about. I had to fire, If was
to save the lioness. I discharged two
rifles. The lion toppled over with q
roar, and the noness dashed off into
the wood"
There were dozens Of other thrill
ing adventures, In which Mr.. Hea1y
shot down rhnoceroses, leepards and
elephants.

Then why she began, and stopped as if little afraid that her question was too frankly curious.
 You need not mind asking. Miss Yardely; because the truth is that my presence in this neighborhood is due to mystery that is almost as in- soluble as the one that brought you drifting downstream. On the night after you arrived at Fort Malsun, was waiting at my tent door for--er-- a man whom I expected visit from. when I was knocked on the head by an Indian. and when I came to, found I was prisoner under sentence Of deportation. We travelled some days rather round about journey. as l have since guessed, and one morning I awoke to find my captors had disappeared, leaving me with my canoe and stores and arms absolutely untouched"
 You say you were waiting for a man when you were seized. Mir. Stane; tell me was the man Gerald Ainley?"
New Britain herald., 1923-11-21

The young man was q little startled by her question, as his manner showed. but he answered frankly; Yes! But how did you guess that?"
 Helen Yardely smiled. "Oh. that was quite easy. You were the topic Of conversation al the dinner-table on the very night that you disa ppeared: |: and gathered that 10 the factor you were something Of a mystery, whilst no one except Mir. Ainley knew any. thing whatever about you. AS you and he were old acanaintanccs. what moro natural than that you should he waiting for him? 1 suppose he did not come 2''
 "lf he did, never saw him--and waited for him two nights."
 Two" cried Helen. "Thcn he could not have wanted 10 come"
 '1 rather fancy he did not" re- piled Stanc with bitter laugh.
 You wished to see him very much?" asked the girl quickly "lt was important that you should?"
 "l wished to question him upon 2 matter that was important 10 mo"
 An" said the girl in tone that was full Of significance. Stane looked at her sharply, and then asked q question:
 What are you thinking. Miss Var dcly?"
 "oh, ] was just thinking that had guessed one of your widely possible reasons, Mir. Stsne: and to fell the truth. if Mr. Ainlcn was really anxious 10 avoid answering your questions. it does not seem to me so inherently im- probable as you appear 10 think"
 What convinccs you Of that Miss Iardely2"
 Well" she replied quickly. you say the Indian told you that it was an order. ask myselr-whosc order? There were very few people
