He said It Was a war In which ninny na tions were taking part, but In which there were juttt two Ideas, freedom and despotism, and a lot' more things that I cannot remember. Hn finished by saying that he wished he could dec orate all of us. Of course It was jrrent stuff for me and I thought I was the real thing sure enough, but I could not help thinking of the. remark I have benrd here In tho Ptntes "I thank you and the whole family thanks you."

It wss great stuff, altogether, and I should bay liked to get a medal every day. On day I received a letter from a man who had been In my 'company In tba foreign Legion and with whom I had been pretty chummy. Ilia letter wa partly la French and partly Ip English. It waa all about who had been killed and who hod been wound ad. He bIho mentioned Murray' death, which ha hadjiejjd, about and about my riTeIng" tha Croft de Ouerra. I waa wishing ha bad Mid something alMiut Ilrown, whom I bad Dot heard from and who I knew would visit ni If ba had tha chance. But two or three daya later I got another latter from tba Mine man and when I opened It out tumbled a photo graph. At first all I aaw waa that It waa the photograph of a man crucified with bayonet, but wben I looked at ! It cloavly I aaw It wai Ilrown. I ! fainted then, Juat like a girt. when I came to I could hardly make myself think about It Two of my pala gone I It hurt ma ao much to think of It that I crushed the letter up In my band, but later on I could read parte of It It aald they bad found Ilrown thla way near Dlxmude abovt two daya after be had been re ported mlanlng. go three of ua went orer and two atayed there. It aeemi very atrange to me that both of my pala ahould be crudOed and If I were uperetltloua I do not know what I would think about It It made me nick and kept me from recorertng aa fart ai I would have, done otberwlae. Both Drown and Murray were good pal od Very gnod men kt a tight 1 often think if them both and about the thing we did together, but lately I bate tried not to think about theia much becauae It la very aad to think what torture tbey muat have bad to tand. Tbey were both of great credit to thla country. The America cooeul elalted me quit often and I got to calling him Sherlock because he aaked ao many queetlona. W played lota of gamea together, moatly with dice, and bad great time generally. After I became convalearent be argued with me that I had een enough, and though I really did think ao however much I dlallked whnt I bad eeen he, gut my dlacharge from the eervlce on account of pbye Ical Inability to dlacharge the nual dutlea. After I had been at the boa pltal for a little ever a month I waa discharged from It, after a little party In my ward with everyone taking part and all the horna blowing and all the record except my favorite dirge played one after another. Sherlock arranged everything for me my punxnge to New York, cloth ing, etc. I ran up to St Nnxalre and aaw my grandmother, loafed around a while and alno vINIted Lyona. After a short time I returned to Brent and got my panange on the Oeorglc for New York. I had three trunk with me full of thlnn I had picked up around Europe . and had been keeping with my grandmother. Among my belongings were aeveral thing I ahould like to "how by pho tographs in thla book, but no one but niennnld can aee them now, for down to the locker of Dovy Jones they, went CHAPTER XVI. Captured by th Motw. When the tugs hnd cast off and after a while we hnd dropped our pilot. I snld to myself: "Now we are off, and It'a the States for me end of tho line far as we go IF " But the "If" did not look very big to me, though I could see It with the naked eye nil right , ' . . I got up about four o'clock the next morning, which was Sunday. Decem ber 10, 1010 a date I do not think I will ever forget. . ' As soon as I was dressed I went down to the forecastle peak, and from there Into the paint locker, where I found enrno rope. Then back again on deck, and made myself a hammock, which I rigged up on the hont deck, flRtirlng that I would have a nice sun bath, as tho weather had at last turned clear. ' ' ' Ai soon as I had the hnmmock strung I went down to the baker and hnd a nice clmt with him aad stole a few ,t ln,, Vh ch . rwhat I was really efter-ind Z ay to tho Ju fr lRfnHtt ,J ZaX amidships, i,Ung on an old omnge ! box. I bad not been there long when ' Old Chips, the ship's carpenter, stuck bla bead In the door end sang out, Wilp oq the atarboard bow." I did not pay any attention to blin, bet-auae alilp on th atarboard bow were ho novelty to m. or on the port either. Chip wa not rresy about looking at her, either, for ha cam m r Jt a . a . aim hi ro anoiner doi ana organ acofflng. II aald b thought aha was a tramp and that ah flew th Ililtlnh flag altera. '- I at all I could get hold of and went out on deck. I stepped out of the gal ley Just lu time to ae the fun. Th ship wa Juat opposite as when away went our wireless and aoro of th boat on th starboard aide, and then, boom I boom 1 and we beard th report of th gun. I heard the shrspnel whining srouod us Just as I had msny a time before. I Jumped bark In the galley and Chips aud the' cook were shaking so hsrd they made the pans rattle. - When the firing stopped I went up to the boat deck. I had on all of my clothing, but Instead of shoes I waa wearing a palf of wooden clogs. Th men and boy were rrssy rushing round th deck and knocking each other down, aud everybody getting la everybody else'a wsy. W lowered our Jacob's ladders, but some of the men and boys were already lir tba wnter. Why they Jumied I do not linnw. Then the Herman raider Moewe beaded right In toward us and J thought she was going tcTriX uT, lut she bscked wuter about thirty yards away. Rha lowered a lifeboat and It made for th Ceorgle, passing our men In the wnter as they cam and crashing them on the head with boat- JrajF They Crashad Them a the Head With ..

The Germans were armed with bayoneta and revolver. Some of them went down Into the en gine room and opened the sea cocks. About this time some of the Limeys ciiinc up from the poop deck and I told them to stay where I was and that the flemish would tukn u over fin llfehouts. Another qund of Ger mans hoisted eight of the dynamite kegs ori their shoulders and down Intc No, 6 hold with them. Mean time the Gentians saw us Uf. on the boot deck and cntno, up after us. And over went the Limeys. But I waited and one or two more waited with me. When the Germans came up to -us they hnd their revolvers out end were waving them around and yelling, "Gott strafe England I" and talking about "schwelnlmnde. Then the first thing I knew, I was kicked oil Into the sea. I slipped off my trouser and coat and clogs, and, believe me, It was not a cnae of all dressed up and no place to go I Then I swam hnrd and caught up tc the Limeys who hod Jumped first. Thej were asking each other It they wert downhearted and answering, "Not a bit of It, me lads," and trying to sing, "Pack Up your troubles In your old kit bag," only they could not do muck singing on account of the waves thai slipped Into their mouths every tlmt they opened them. Thnt was Just llkt Limeys, though. Some of the bors were lust cllmblni up the Jacob's ladder on tho Moewti when the old Georglc let out an nwfu: ronr and up went the deck and tht hatches high in the air In splinters One fellow let go his hold on the lad der and went down and he never cam up. The German were making for tht Moewe In the lifeboat and we reached It'Just before they did. Dp the lnddei we went nnd over the side and tht first thing we caught sight of was tht German revolvers Id our fact's drilllni us all Into line. The lifeboat brought bock the shlp'i papers from the Georglc and we hnc roll call. They kepi us up on deck It our wet undcrwenr and It was verj cold Indeed.

There Is a quaint old legend of AI snce, recalls the Christian Science Monitor, concerning a family of giants who, mice nmn a time, lived In a cer tain castle In the old country. ' The moral of the story eeems appropriate at a time when the French minister of agriculture la making special ef fort to encourage the cultivation of innd. The giant lived, aaya the legend, far from the peasants of the plain and one duy the daughter of the house, who though quite a child, waa already thirty feet high, strolled toward a iilaln and aaw i laborer peacefully plowing hla flelda. She picked up the peasant, the horse and the plow aad pot them In her pinafore and returned to the castle to show what she had found m her father. ' "What yon think la bat a toy," aald th gtant "1 what produce tb food which enablea ua to live.. Put hack the laborer and his horse where yon found them." From that time onward, adds th tale, the peaaanta were never molested by th gtanta. Women totdlera.
