who he found was also captured by Jim. Jim gets the watch from Bob and was going to show Bob what waa in the watch when he turned bis gaze towards the window and saw a detective crawling towards the house. "Beat It!" he yelled, as he ran out where the other men were. "Here comes a detective." The other men ran out of the log cabin where they were confronted by showers of bullets, none of them hitting the men. "We can't get away because of the cliff," said one of the men. "Well, we can fire back at them," yelled Jim. There were five police officers and one detective who came to the rescue. Jim and his men began firing. "Hit them now," came a voice from the officers. "We can't afford to fool them any more. "No wonder none of us got hit; they were Just trying to scare us," said Fox. "Get In the cabin, we can't escape now," said Jim. All except one went in the cabin and that one was killed Just before he entered. After ten minutes of hard fighting there came a yell from one of the windows. "Fox is shot." some one said. Sure enough there was Fox lying on the floor with blood spurting out of his head. ( "Well, we can't help it now," said Jim. "Be careful with your bullets, for we have not got many more. Gosh hang them officers

anvhow. How'd they find out mis stuff?" "I'll tellyou," said one; that guy In the other room must have done It." "But how could he? We have watched that house all the time." "Well, I'll be gosh hanged if I know then," was the reply. During this time they had been firing at the police. "Any more shells?" asked one from the corner, "I've run out." "So 'ave I," said another. "Holy smokel" said Jim. "There ain't no more shells." There was only one man who had bullets and he only had two. In fact, the officers were about run out of ammunition. "Say, raebe Ike's got some in his belt," said one of the officers. Ike was an officer who had been killed. .Two officers found Just eleven shells on the dead body. "Say, Where's Frank;" asked one of the officers. "Couldn't tell you, but he's not far off anyway," was the reply. At the same time Jim began to feel that he was not going to last long. Ho became pale and sank down on a stool. "What are we going to do?" he asked himself. Then suddenly his face brightened up, as he thought of how the Germans would do. "I've got it!" he exclaimed. Jumping up. Everybody turned and looked at Jim in a puzzled manner. "I've got it. By Jove, I've got the way. Go in and get the girl and Bob," he said. The remainder of the men, which were hut four now, since Joe and Fox were dead, Joe dying after

Bob was captured, ran in the other room to get Bob and Jane, whom as you will remember, were tied in there. They came back as fast as they went in, crying: "They're gone!" "What, gone?" asked Jim, in a panic. . "Where can they be?" "I don't know, but they're gone, and that is all there Is to it," said one. "Then we're going to be gone, too, but, in a-different way," said Jim.

MARY'S ADVENTURES

Mary was a princes.. Her father waa king over a large amount of land. Mary was very beautiful and everything was done to make her happy. Her father gave her everything she wanted. But yet the wa not happy. -She longed for a life with other common girls and to have fun. She had many times planned to

run away with the servant, a boy of about her own age.

One day she was in the garden' when the servant came for her, for her mother was very sick. Mary was about to go to her when a man : grabbed her and the boy and took i them away. He knew he could get ransom for them. i Three days later the king got a) letter asking for five thousand for J their return. It was to be put in

a box at the far end of the garden. 1

The king at once took the money to the place pointed out. The next day it was still there and even the third day it was still untouched. At last the king sent a large army In search of them.

They hunted for three weeks andj

each day sent a report to the king. The king shook his headly sadly and the queen wept bitterly. One morning three years later a beggar girl knocked at the palace gate. The king sent a servant to the gate. The girl asked to see the king but the servant only smiled and said that the king don't take in beggars. But she cried to see him and at last was taken up to him. She fell at his feet and told him that she was his daughte and the man who had taken them to a foreign country had died there. The king shouted when she said this. He ordered servants to dress

her and make her look like his J daughter once more. The servants'

did as they were told. In an hour she went before the king smiling. She asked about her mother and was told her mother had died of

grief and her little sister had died'

soon after her mother. Word was sent far and wide for the return of the servant boy after Mary told how good he was to her. The king soon married again and Mary's new mother was very good to her. Some time after the good king died and left Mary his throne. She soon married and the people loved their king and aueen and the

king and queen loved them in re--

turn. By Clara Arnold, Age 14, S. II. S.

A -girl, who now lies in a hos pital, owes her life to a brown cur. She was coming home one dark night when a strange man stepped out from behind a tree near th-j sidewalk. Becoming frightened and thinking the man might harm her, the girl started to run. She hurried as fast as she could, but the man who followed was to-) fast. An old quarry lay a few blocks away. The girl ran straight toward it. She came to the edge an 1 stood still it was as far as she could go. The man dashed up and in the tussle the girl was pushed over the brink and into the quarry. A dog had been following the two and seeing the girl plunge into Ih depths of the hole, jumped in after her. He swam through the water in the quarry to where the girl was and held her above the surface until help was summoned. Some men on a switch engine

that ran past the quarry frequently, saw the girl's plight and ran to her assistance. She was nearly unconscious when dragged from the water. The dog had lKen the means of saving her life. H. G.
