THE WAY OUT
"(H. bey, Harvey I" called Van
Router. "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

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

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

"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

and by ear, Wong Flo had boon a wit

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

By K. IV. PKTKRSON.
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.

tional thousands of young men be
tween 18 and 35 are to leave city life
for work on farms and In construc
tion camps. Their departure Is given
the title of unemployment relief,
since their places are being filled by
married men.
The new plan enlists the coopera
tion of business firms In that the
firms are urged, almost commanded,
to release any young men who refuse
to participate In the workings of the
program.
Outdoor Transformation.
To military observers the unem
ployment features of this program
are lost, however. In the view of
slim office workers and pale factory
I workers being transformed Into hus
ky young fellows capable, after
months of outdoor work, of consider
able physical stress and strain.
In propaganda for the Goerlng
plan, health Is ad"anced In big let
ters, with the attractiveness of a
year of "fresh, free life" vividly
sketched. Assurance Is given that
after the year the young man's posi
tion will be returned to him. In this
way, by sending successive detach
ments of young single men Into the I
country, It la planned entirely to re
lieve unemployment in urban centers.
The plan applies to girls as well,
and feminine "voluntary workers"
can now be found helping in the

methods hre not Infallible.
The child fell Into a small reser

with modern ideas counselled the
parents to let the baby's experience
teach its own leason.
In the next couple of months he
fell In four more times, showing
marked terror after each rescue.
Just about thb time the di Guldos
had decided to resort to less modern
precautionary methods the baby fell
in again and was drowned.
