When he learned what ft was all about, he turned to the leader and said: .. , , s ; . "Meyer. I do not want my friend here to take any more risks.

Realizing that the American troops might be on the lookout for him. the major decided to return to France this time In the guise of an enlisted man. The crossing, of course, had to be made secretely. Arrangements were made by the leader for a friendly Spaniard to act as guide. When a suitable night came, with the guide's assistance, the major started to cross over into France. It was a miserable night and so dark that It was impossible for the major to see the guide five feet In front of him. The rain came down In torrents and the mountain trail was soon turned into a rarinr brook. Slipping and sliding around in the darkness most of the time with the water up to their knees, and in im minent danger of falling down the side of the mountain, they finally made the crossing. When daylight came, the major once more stood on French soil. Hid ing by day and traveling on frelcht trains by night, he succeeded in reachmz Paris: and there, eacaninr the notice of the military police, he made his war to the hotel whtra th other American officers in the en terprise were awaiting him. The major was greeted with great acclaim for the others were begin ning to fear something had gone wrong with their Diana. He rave them a detailed explanation of the situation as it had shaped itself since he had fled from the prison with the German, and told them that to fur ther the work be would hare to be supplied with plans and coached on Liberty motors.

PATTERSON CO. .-. none oto SALEM, OREGON Old Soldier Testifies to Won derful Merits Number 40 in Constipation, Stomach Trou ble and Catarrh National Home, Wis., May 12. 19 "When I commenced taking Number 40 For The Blood, I was suffering with chronic constipation of a good many years standing, which finally developed into stomach trouble which got so bad I was unable to eat anything that did not cause great suffering. I tried a good many doc tors as well as everything I colud hear of that was recommended for my complaint. I was also troubled with catarrh of long standing and I had dropsical swellings in my feet and ankles which the doctors said was caused by a weak heart. I had about given up hope of being much better when I saw an ad. of your No. 40, in a country paper and conclud ed to try It. I felt so much better after taking one bottle that I sent di rect to you for three more bottles. I have taken about two and a half bot tles and while not feeling entirey well. I feel by continuing the use of 40. I will get to feel as well as I could reasonably expect for a man of my age. 75 years. I hardly know how to estimate the Yalue of the ben efit I have already received from the use of No. 40, and cheerfully recom ment It to any one suffering as I was." Morris Law. Witness to signa ture.

Sold by Perry's Drug Store. off as an expert, it was deemed necessary to add "a fifth man from the motor corps to those already working on the great problem. Captain E" was the one finally chosen. After carefully checking up his record both with his organisation and with the Central Records Office. me chief asked for his detail to his department- Much to the captain's surprise ana august, he received an order to report at once for special duty. On his arrival the chief took r.rv. tain into his confidence and told him why he had had him dtnwi m me intelligence department The capiam was fully informed of the aangers oi the undertaking and told a 1 m. mm . . ioai u ne was cantured it wonld in. evltably mean a brick wall and a. fir. ing squad at sunrise. Like all true Americans, however. th rantain never ninched at the risks and was eager to Join la the adventure. The next move was for the cap tain to secure blue nrinta and nlmi ot some motor that would fool the Germans Into believing that they had the details ot. the real Liberty motor. "I know of Just the motor. said the captain. "Only . yesterday I re- ceivea tne Diana of a new twelve- cylinder motor that has been aent over nere zor a tnront - nnder war conamons. i can obtain the pans of this one and the beche will never know the difference.? The plan as then worked ent. was for the two officers' to reinrn to Spain and there the eantain was ta so confuse the "Group ot Fire' with his technical descrlntlona that thv would see the necessity ot sending him to Germany with the bln nrinta. The plan was checked and recbecked to avoid the possibility of a slip np. and the major and the captain pre pared to go to Spain, Leaving Palis on-e, nlcht train. traveling as an officer and his order ly, me two orilcers made their way to Pan. Aa their reaaon for holnr there, they stated they were hunUng aeserters ana intended to carefully search the entire country between Pan and the Soanlsh .border. At length, working their way up Into the mountains, they one day quietly nassed over the frontier into fimln making thefr way to the "Group ot rive - at san seoastain. The eantain. in describing th mo tor to these men. soon succeeded In so contusing them that they realized that the only. hope of the German High Command ever nnderstandinr the motor lay in sending the captain to uermany. And that is exactly what they suceested. The eantain. however, refused to go unless the major accompanied him. (Continued Next Sunday) Theater at SUverton Goes Out of Bnsintu SILVERTON. Ore..
