Meanwhile Bruce found plenty of ev.

belter for bim to stick to his own part
of the work instead of going back to
kelp them. 11e .tell that be was on Alie
trail of .real facts, which would prove
terribly damaging to the enemy.
At Inst there came the cbonco he had
waited. A.'mau-be had. bribed, told, j
him of a plan to send a schooner out
on Lake Michigan from Chicago henv
llybtden with gralu.
JGo along," ho told Bruce. "You'll
see something worth while."
And Bruce did. Concealed in a bout,
he saw tho crew, under orders fruin
the captain, dumping tho perfectly
good grain into the lake. It was so
that Dodson's men were eroatlug the.

for raising the price of bread to the
poor-t: .This Bruce knew would nerve
"I've ordered tho price back. For God's
Sake take thom away," paid Dodson.
his cause; the facts - would speak for
themselves. And he had a y ma ll cam
era with him. with wblcU be took pho
tographs" of tho dumplug.
It Was that, however, which was his
undoing. ' Ho bad to expose > himself

these vessels. In purouanco of thc

impossible, however, to obtairi accu

that an end ?had to bo put to this

coast a "closed zone*" into, Which no
ship of any sort could venture with

number ol Greeks, in some casca alna

eight years, wore imposed upon them.
