"Look here a minute, will you?" Bowers crossed the deck to Vac Router and was Introduced to the alck man. "Mr. McLeod," the doctor said. "Mr. Bowers." And he added, "Bow ers Is something of an expert with animals, and portions be can help you out 1 know that a passage to Singapore Is what he Is after." "Not Harvey Bowers?" said Mc Leod. "That's my name," said Bowers. McLeod, who by now was feeling the effects of the morphine, turned a whimsical face to the doctor. "It Is well known," he said, "that Mr. Bowers Is a great expert when It comes to laying low the birds of "You will hold the ship for Jie air, and the beasts of the field. But has he any skill In the art of looping the wild creatures alive and auppy? "I am for the hospital, Mr. Bow irs," he went on: "and these poor beaBtles are tor Singapore; but there's none on this ship who has the skill to toed them and admin ister to their wants. You are said to be vorra skoelful In the killing of big game, Mr, Bowers. Do you know how to doctor them and how to feed them?" "Not In the least," snld Bowers frankly. "But 1 have certain qualltl cations. I've got to got to tiltixnpore. I would be glad to help you, una I am not afraid. If you'll toll me what tins to be done, and when, I'll write It all down and do tho vory best 1 know to follow Instructions." "Ilnvo you your notebook handy?" asked McLeod. Bowers bad, and Van Router chose the opportunity to summon the stretcher - bcarors from tho launch. "Please don't misunderstand mo," said Bowers, who was proparlng to take notos. "1 am only taking this job on condition that I can tlnd a tlrst-clnss assistant. You any that tbre Is no one on the ship?" "Not a man with an Idea In his head." said McLeod, "or a heart In his bronst." A1 this moment Van Router re turned. He was followed by two mngnlllcent Malay In white sa rongs, who carried a stretcher. "Doctor." sold Bowers, "do you know any man In Stnbao who Is a first-class hand with animals?" Van Router chucklod. "Not unless you aro the man." he snld. "and the nnlninls are women." "That's a nice reputation lo give mo." said Bowers; but he wns not altogether displeased. "Think nard There must be someone. Thine Islands and the whole of Malaysia are full of people who understand anlmnls." "Now wait a minute." said Van Router. "Last night I heard some gossip. I didn't give much hoed II seems that In the outsklrls ot the town there Is one ot those little Acrd ltnrnr Driver Dead LEBANON, Ohio. (UPf "Uncle Steve" Phillips, flj, at one time America's foremost hnrnens driver, died here recently of pneumonia niul e Infirmities. For tirt yenrn, "t'nvle Steve" was a driver, trainer and own er ot trotters. Malay circuses. There are sure to be trick animals and a trainer." "Ayo," said McLeod; "but the cost would be prohibitive. 1 would have to buy the man's anlmalB and pay through the nose for his ser vices" ' "If you would let me finish," said Van Reuter, "1 would have told you I got the Impression that the Im presario, what you call the manager of the circus, bad eloped with the cash-box and left the performers on the rocks." Bowers Interrupted. "Your place Is In the hospital," he said. "Sup pose you leave everything to mo?" If there Is a trainer, I will got him. If there are animals to be bought, I will look after that. That will be my prlvato venture. Perhaps 1 shall be able to turn tliom ovor In Singapore at a profit." I NEV 1 "to I like a man that goos up end down the world hunting to kill; but now, young man, 1 am open to argu ment," "Feel better?" asked Van Reuter. "Yes and no," said McLeod. "The pafn Is still there, but It does not hurt." His eyes, lazy with morphine, roved until ttioy were focused on the placid (ace of Wong Do. By eye Bowers' ordered McLeod. and by ear, Wong Flo had boon a wit nosB of all that Imd passed. Ho also had Flint, floth know that Harvey lowers was bolns wished on them as a passenger, iloth regretted It. Out neither was In a position to voice an objection. "Wong Do!" said McLeod. The Chinaman dr'iw nearer and rocotvod his orders. "You will hold the ship," said McLeod, "until Mr. Bowers comes aboard with his animal trainer. Vou will then proceed to Singapore. Vou will treat Mr. Bowers ns my repre sentative." Wong Ho looked Bowors cooly ovor and fanned himself. Then he nodded his head. "To Singapore," he said. "Very good. With permission 1 shall burn Joss sticks fur early recovery." With tho utmost gentleness Van Routor and tho two Malays slid Mc Leod from tho mattress to tho stretcher. Flint enmo forward and shook hands with McLeod. "Wish you good luck, sir," he said; "and who knnwsY Maybe some day you'll think all this is for the best." With Infinite precaution, McLeod was transferred from the Boldcro to the doctor's launch, and from the customs wharf to tho hospital. He war not In any pain, but It was fear ed that any Jolt might burst bis ap pendix and most grievously com i It en te his disorder and Jeopardize hti chnnces of rocovery. During tho whole of the transfer, Harvey How ers, notebook In band, took down a whole goBpol of tho care of animals on the high sens. Sin boa boasted of throo or four toxica ha which had first soen the light of day In the far city of De troit. Thoy were vory old and asth matic, but swifter thnn rickshaws or bullock-carts.

BERLIN. i APi The spectacle of thoimandu of half-naked young bod ies, browned by sun and wind, mov ing In eaay rythm with pick, shovel and sledge hammer, brings sn Inter esting sidelight to the question of Germany's possible military strength. Regardless of what else may be nald of the "potentlftl" armies of the third relch, such armies would be, observ ers are ogreed, Weaned with unusual health and bodily energy. The "bodies" Jn question can be seen dally, on farms, roads, construc tion camps, a vigorous demonstration of young manhood that comes under the cl a unification of the "voluntary labor service" program of the nazl re gime. Work for "Keep." Throughout Germany these young men have agreed, to work on farms, or on state projects, for a year, for their "keep" and a very small "al lowance." Their reward Is physical fitness and a credited service to the state. Under the new Ooering plan addl-' S MATTER POP ) -p ,ffrH r To Two I Cam.ToT!
