master was trying them out by letting
each man In the squad take a turn at
giving the oiders. They were at Manhehn
, enjoying the training of the military or
ganization, and this one particular squad
was marching round the square made by
'the back-stop on the cricket' crease. A
young member of the squad settled hi
gun nnd his thoughts, remarked sternly,
"Forward, march," and they marched. It
wasn't very far to a low stone wall at the
.edge of the green, and It was up to him
to get those eight men turned In time for
them to walk parallel with said wall In
stead of Into It and over the top. And
tho audience on tho benches above tho
yall was a bit nervous. But he was
' ,;there'
. As the proper foot camo down, Just
about four paces away from the dead-line,
Jit sang out, "To tho right", and then,
While everybody waited breathless for the
word of command, he hesitated, and his
squad carried on toward Inevitable barked
shins. Again he stepped with tho proper
foot and, without losing step or presence
of mind, changed his order to, "By the
right flank, march!", and missed the
wall by one Inch, while everybody started
to breathe again.
He'll be a soldier some day, and I hope
he keeps his head that way in every emer

CHAPTER XIV (Continued)
HE rest agreeing, they set out along the
T
path flanked by the grove of stalacltles,
traveling at a quicker pace, but with greater
caution than before. Miranda ami Herran
marched ahead with revolvers drawn. Andrew
In the rear still holding his pocket knife ready
for action. They had been delaved on Mrs
Qiiavle's account, for that lady. In spite of
her anxiety to get away, had refused to bulge
without her Jewelry. But It was not easy to
satisfy her demand. For, hen the Jewel! j
was taken from Its hiding place beneath a
rock, It still showed the same strong tendency
to fly to the Black Magnet This distressed
Mrs Quayle, who refused to touch the
treasures that she was at the name time
loath to part with. But a compromise was
Anally effected by tying all the jewelry se
curely around Andrew's wa'st. This arrange
ment appeased the. owner but It gave an un
comfortable backward pull to every step the
schoolmaster took, who thus resembled In
walking a ship sailing against the wind.
This Inconvenience, however, steadily de
creased as they came out of the disturbing
region of the Black Magnet, until finally
these ancient heirlooms of Mrs. Quayle s re
gained their normal composure.
But there were other things beldes the
Black Magnet to Interrupt their progress,
Xo sooner had they gotten well under way
nnd were congratulating themselves on their
escape from .mishap so far than they were
startled by a wild and piercing strain of
music, seeming to come from the grove of
stalactites before which they were hurrying,
Amazed bv so singular an Interruption, they
stopped short and looked fearfully about
them. A sound of scornful laughter blended
with the music.
"Raoul!" muttered I.elghton.
But there was nothing to be seen of the
strange American whose mocking laughter
they were sure, nevertheless, they had beard.
Then the muslo grew louder and louder, as If
the musicians were steadily approaching In
their direction. The music Itself was subtly
d'fferent In tone and pitch from anything
played In the outside world. The high notes
evidently came from wind Instruments, but
of unique quality and caliber. Mingling with
these notes and sustaining the bass were the
heavy beatings of drums of the kind still
used, although deeper and mellower, by the
native Indians In their festivals.
The melody produced If It could be called
a melody was of an extraordinary charac
ter. Its effect. Its charm ror It had unmis
takable charm was quite Impossible to de
fine. In some respects It resembled the mo
notonous chantlngs peculiar to most primitive
races occasionally as was customary with
the latter, rising and falling, whole octaves
at a time. In a walling key. Tn the main. It
carried a sort Pt theme, emotional and In
spiring, that was far too complex to bo at
tributed to the uncultivated musical taste
common to savagery. There was an exultant
swing to the measure, a lilting cadence that
betrayed a fine esthetic sense, a rich Imagina
tion coupled with the simplicity and freedom
that has not felt the pressure, except very
remotely, of our western civilization. Such
music was good to listen to, and under ordi
nary circumstances the explorers would have
been content to listen and nothing more.
Hut curiosity and spme remnant of fear the
lulling Influence ot the music had not dissi
pated kept then on the alert. Their fate de
pended, they felt, on these musicians. They
must find out who they were before It was
too late to retreat.
And thn presently through the cluster
ing green and white stems of the stalactites,
they caught sight of them.
They were more than twenty In number,
moving, as nearly as the unevenness of the
ground would permit, In time to the choral
march they were playing. At sight of them
Mrs. Quayle didn't know whether to be
pleased or tetTlfled. For the music was such
an enchanting, soothing sort ot thing, and
the players so mild, benignant of aspect,
anything Ilk fear seemed out of place. But,
on the other hand, the atrtnf instrument
ANNOUNCED
they carried, their outlandish dress, the whole
C ,', of theni' '" a wa' "'"" distinctly un
earth y, supernatural and Mrs. Quayle drew
tlio line at the supernatural So she ended
oy being simply amazed beyond measure
and her companions shared her feelings In
lessening degree. Miranda and Herran. dum
rounded by the apparition, forgot to handle
their revolvers in the wsrllke fashion thev
had Intended with the first approach of a foe:
Andrew gaped In an open-mouthed sort of
dream, during which his pocket-knife came

movement with which tbey kept time to the
music. Their feet were shod with sandals,
their heads encircled with bands of white
cloth, from the flying ends of which hung
ornaments of gold and emerald The musical
nstruments upon which they played were
long, s ender tubes, curving upward at the

sparkled like the purest gold
J!W, 'InKUlar of all was the light that

wonder at their admirable adaptability to the

To Lelghton these strange lfht were
much more testifying than all the rest of
the apparitlon-for as yet It was difficult to
legard the approaching throng as being any
thing more real than an apparition that

he explorers began to hope that through
them they would win their wav out of th"

with this end In view. Hence, Miranda and
Herran looked stealthily at their revolvers
and restored them as quickly as possible to
their hlp-pockets, while such a burst of con
fidence seized Mrs. Quayle that she prepared
and was actually seen to exhibit one of her
most ingratiating smiles for the benefit of the
approaching Indians, at the same time ex
pressing In a loud voice to Una her approval
of their music.
This pleasant feeling, however, that they
were about to regain their liberty did not last
long. The Indians, although showing no un
friendliness, gave unmistakable evidence that
they meant to control the movements of the
explorers. Still playing on their tiumpets
and beating solemnly on their drums, they
marched around them, bpwlng courteously
enough, but Intimating at the tame time that
they were acting upon a definite plan that
could not be Interfered with. Somewhat
dashed by this singular behavior, which was
the more difficult to meet Just because t
lacked outward menace, the explorers con
ferred hastily together, hoping to hit on a
safe line of action. Tho men of the party,
suspicious of the friendly attitude assumed
by the Indians, favored Immediate resistance
Their first flush of confidence In them was
gone. Herran and Miranda, especially, were
doubtful of the Intentions of these strange
people. From whatever motive, It seemed to
them that the Utter had deliberately planned
their capture, evidently carrying out In this
the orders of some one In authority over

Is true, among tho Indians who were suii

he had nothing to do with this odd demon
stration. But how resist a party so superior
to their own In number, one that had already
gained an obvious advantage of position over
them. Lelghton was doubtful what to do;
Andrew was helpless: Mrs, Qunyle was tem
porarily lost In admiration of the picturesque
circle of dancing figures, all regarding her
with gratifying amiability. Fna alone In
sisted that the friendliness of the Indians was
genuine, nnd that their own safety depended
on obeying them. As a compromise It was
decided to talk to these people to find out
what they were after. For this diplomatic
duty Miranda and Herran were chosen.

CHAPTER VI
The Orphan Finds a Home
pKCJOY and Billy Belgium exchanged won
't derlng glance What could Helolse
mean by saying there were Hermans In
America. Then a light hit Billy
"I know what she menus." lip exrlalmed.
"They must have been In the train wrecked
last week at the Dutch settlement. They
thought the kindly Hollanders coming to aid
them were Germans.
Helolse was Immensely relieved when Billy
nssured her the (Hermans hadn't Invaded
America and couldn't If they tried. Little
Jean, when be heaid this, bravely waved a
cookie and shouted, "Vive, PAmei lipif. Vive,
la France '"
"We walked until T could drag Jean no
farther." continued Helolse. "At dawn we
found ourselves here. We crept through a
window We climbed the ladder to the at
tic, nnd I pulled the ladder after tit so the
Hermans couldn't tind us, Then we slept and
slept.
"Long, long nflerward we awoke to find
the rooms below tilled with children We did
not daie stir for hours and hours.
"When the children went home we crept
down They bad left scraps of food from the
lunches. Theie were nuts under a tree. So
we feasted on the scraps and the nuts"
"Poor, poor kiddles," sobbed Peggy, when
Billy Belgium tinnslated the story
"It was rich fare after our starving In
France." said Helolse simply "Later wo
ciept back to the nttlc It was cold nnd
dark, and we didn't know when the Hermans
would como after us. nut we prayed and
we prayed, and then wo slept
"The next day was the same, and so was
the third. But yesterday the ihlldren left
no scraps."
"I bet you that was after the food con
servation talks In the schools," suggested
Peggy.
"And we couldn't find any more nuts,"
added Helolse.
"That was after the boys and the Jays
had their clean-up." declared Blue Jay
"So we went tn bed hungry, as we had done
In France before." said Helolse. "I.lttle Jean
was so brave He tried tn cheer me by telling
me he had eaten i nough for u week "We
woke up htingiy, and grew hungrier evety
minute. We heard you here and we tried to
keep quiet, for we thought you Oennans. But
Jean cnuliln't help sobhlng. When we saw
tbnt awful figure In the tree all covered with
camouflage we thought we were In the hands
nf the Huns." Billy Belgluni grinned nt this
description of hU "fun" disguise "Then
everything went dark When I awoke and
heard you talking mv own beloved French,
my heart nearly hurst with Joy"
"Vive, I'Amerlque," cried Jean, now all
smiles,
"Oh. how glad I was to find myself safe In
America safe, even though homeless and
friendless. I am Mire we Bhall find here some
kind foster parents " Helolse's eyes glowed
at the thought So did Peggy's,
"t know Just the persons who will adopt
you," she cried "Mr. and Mrs Pelton. our
wealthy neighbors, were saying Just yester
day that they would like to care for a little
French girl and hoy through the war. nnd
even afterward 1 know you are the veiy
ones they .want "
Peggy had seen a telephone In tho school
room Killed with her grand Idea she flew to
It. She rang up Mr. Pelton and poured out
her stoiy to him. In a minute she was back
"They want you They say to come right
away" she cried, hugging Helolse nnd Jean
In her joy.
"Well, this golng-to-school Joke has been
more fun than I thought It would be," hooted
Judge Owl
"I've learned not to fool with ghost yarns,"
laughed Billy.
"And we'ip learned a lot, too," shrilled
Oeneral Swallow. "One thing Is not to run
away from persons In distress."
"Another Is to be brave when you're
scared." added Peggy, remembering how
Billy had climbed Into the window, not
knowing whether he was going to encounter
spooks or kidnappers. "Wouldn't It have
been awful If we had left Helolse and Jean
there to die '"
"And our big lesson Is that after pain and
sorrow our players will bring Joy and hap
piness and peace" murmured Helolse
And then they all started down the road
to take her and Jenn to their new home

WOMEN SUPPLANT, MEN
IN HANDLING LUMBER
Women have done all ports of war work,
but the latest occupation In which they have
supplanted the men Is in handling lumber.
Seventy-five Polish womi are loading cars
for the Pearson & Ludascher Lumber Com
pany at Its pier at the foot of Westmoreland
street. The shipyards have taken the lum
ber yards' emploves.
Many of the women employed In the yard
were at times wont to collect bits of fire
wood while workmen chased them away.
Now they have control of the yards, and It
Is safe to say there will be but a few men
allowed to practice the carrying away of
kindling to keep the home fires burning.
More than 100 applications wre received
by the lumber company from women who
desired work. The wages paid them are the
same as paid the men, and the hours are of
a much shorter duration.
