boat to work with 1t more closely. A
moment later there was little splash
as something slipped into the water.
from the boat and Capt. Koenig felt a
pull on the line he was holding.
Feverishly he dragged 1t in. and as
the boy In the boat rowed deliberately
on down the stream. Capt. Koenig was
drying a pistol with his handkerchief
Then he dropped piece Of fishing line
and weight from the window into the
water
He read the note through again. and
this time he read between the lines.
Evidently Don had knowledge that he
must escape tonight or be sentenced to
execution on the morrow. Well. that
was not hard to believe. Escaping
would not be easy. The chances we're
very much against him getting out at
all. But what II he did not? Better
die from bullet In fight than be ex-
ecuted as O traitor.
He sat down to form his plans He
would call for water as soon as dark
ness had fallen. and when the jailer
and guard entered he would overpower
them. Once outside the dungeon, he
would have to get up the stairs into
the prison proper and past another
more guards between him and free
dom. All, well, there was always a
chancel
And once outside. he knew what he
would do. Boris was the man at the
bottom Of all this, and he and Boris
would have a reckoning before the
night was over!
The hour left until dusk dragged
slowly along. He watched the shadows
fall on the river. The guard brought
him a meager meal. and he studied the
mans actions as he entered And he
complained of not feeling well. That
would account for a request for more
water In short time.
AS he ate the food he saw that 1t
was almost dark outside. He waited
until he could not see the sky through
the window Of the dungeon, then he
went to the heavy door and beat upon
1t. When the guard responded, he de-
manded water.
There was wait of several minutes
while the guard got the jailer. He heard
them approach down the corridor, the
jailer rafting his keys. He stood just
inside the door, grasping the revolver
behind him.
The jailer and the guard paused out

for his master in the last five years.
But this is not all. Last year S5O,0

willing to pay for the privilege OF going
over this unique place.
The business started by accident, but
its present size is due to the owner

rectors wanted to make series OF WIG
animal pictures. Three great jungle
lions were imported from LONDON, To-

his wife.
A FTER the pictures were made the
"a trainer had a chance to buy the
lions, which he did. Three months later
came a big eyent-Rosie, one OF the
beasts, presented her new owners with
three rollicking cubs. Rosie had never
believed in the new-fangled notion OF
birth control. and Just to prove 1t TO
the world, six months later she gave
birth to four more lively babies.
So the lion farm began to develop into
a business which has grown until itS
small original capital has swelled to assets
worth more than $250.000. People en-
joyed coming to see the lions and were
willing to pay for the privilege. 30 In
1922 the next step was taken when the
Gays conceived the idea Of buying q
place out in the country and going In
regularly for raising lions.
The farm was bought and the jungle
created. In Difference to skeptical public

4 a tages. there will be large num-
ber OF children from this sec
ton leaving for Summer camps, where
they viii spend part Of thier vacation.
Twenty-Five years ago the question OF
what to do with children In Summer
presented q problem for parents Then
some smart person conceived the idea
OF camps for boys and girls from tom
boy 10 TO 10 years as a practical and
delightful solution.
Fortunately, from the start. the men
and women who opened the camps were
the sort OF persons who understood the
problems that must be solved to make a
camp splendid and safe venture for
the children. They understood and
cared greatly about children, and
planned that their camps should be the
proper places for training boys and
girls in the various things that would
make them normal, rational young peo-
pie. The success and the deserved pop
ularity of the Summer camp is proof
that these ideas have been carried out.
Each year more and more parents are
learning about camps and are sending
their children, and the camp idea Is
such popular one that each year new
camps are opened, so that now for every
type OF child there Is camp TO Mt his
or her need.
With Boy Scout and Girl Scout
camps. camps run by mems clubs and
church clubs. as part Of their work
for and among young people, camp life
Is within reach OF practically every boy
and girl. For where, formerly. there
were only the rather expensive private
camps, too high for the average income,
today there are these most desirable.

profit. but simply 10 meet expenses.
