The Council considers it advisable to proceed with tho macadamizing of all the streets in the Cily, feeling that this is the most economical course which can be adopted, ami after making thorough estimates, they are confident thnl for a further sum of 880,500.00, every street in the City can bo properly graded and macadamized. We believe that this object is the right one, and in doing tli is, tlic present taxpayers will obtain a present benefit, at the lowest rate of taxation.

CHILLIWACK FREE PRESS THE KEY TO YESTERDAY BB CHARLES NEVILLE BUCK Copyright 1910] fRy W. J. Watt & Company CHAPTER IX. Continued The fuur of an enemy silently stalking him had fllled his days with terror. Now that in* regarded death aw certain, his cowardice dropped away lik*j a discarded cloak. "I don'l nek much," ho said simply; "only, lor God's sake, kill me hero! Don't surrender mo i<> the government! At least, in the olher fellows know that I wan dead before their plans wero betrayed." "I told you." said Saxon in a iluil voice, "ihai I Iiiiii 110 designs on you. l meanl Itl I told you 1 had forgotten. I meant U!" As hi- spoke, Saxon's head dropped forward on hla chest, and lu* stood breathing heavily, The moonlight, falling full .ui his faco, showed such heart-broken misery as might havo belong,'.i to tin* visage of Borne unresting ghosl In mi Inferno. Mis eyes wen* ihi- eyes uf utter despair, and the hand tliat held the pistol hung limp at his side, tin* weapon lying loose in its palm. Rodman stood wide-eyed before him. Hud he already been killed and returned to life, lie eould hardly have been more astonished, and, when Saxon at last raised his face and spoke again, the astonishment was greater than ever. "Take your gun," said the painter, raising his hand slowly, and presenting the weapon stock ilrst. "If you want to kill me—go ahead." Hodman, for an instant, suspected some subterfuge; then, looking into the eyes hefore him, he realized that they were too surcharged with sadness to harbor either vengeance or treachery. He could not fathom the meaning, but he realized tliat from this man he had nothing to fear. He slowly reached out his hand, and. when he had taken the pistol, he put it away in ills pocket. Saxon laughed bitterly. "So that's the answer!" he muttered. Without a word, the palriter turned, and walked toward the front of the cathedral; without a word, Rodman fell In by his side, and walked with him. When they hod gone a square, Saxon was again himself except for a stonily set face. Hodman was wondering llow to apologize. Carter had never been a liar. If Curler said he had no thought of vengeance it was true, and Hodman had Insulted him witli tlic surmise. Finally, lhe, thin man inquired in n different and much softer voice: "What ore you doing in Puerto Frio?" "ll hns nothing to do with revenge or punishment," replied Saxon, "and I don't want to hear intrigues." A quarter of an hour later, they reached the main plaza, Hodman sllll mystified and Saxon walking on aimlessly at his side. He had no definite destination. Nothing mattered. After a long silence, Rodman demanded: "Aren't you taking a chance—risking it in Puerto Frio?" "I don't know." There was another pause, broken at last ity Rodman: "Take this from me. Get nt onee in touch With the American negation, and keep in touch! Stand on your good behaviour. You may get away wilh it." He interrupted himself abruptly with the question, "Hnve you been keeping posted on South Amcrlcnn affairs of late?" "I don't know who is President," replied Saxon. "Well, I'll Up you ,,ff. The only men who held nny direct proof about— about the $200,000 iu gold tliat lefl about the same time you did"--Saxon winced—"went Into oblivion with the last revolution. Time Is a great restorer and so many similar affairs have Intervened that you are probably forgotten. Hul. If I were you, I would get through my affairs nnd -beat It. It'*- n wise boy that is not where he is, when he's wanted by some one lie doesn't want." Saxon made no reply. "Say," commented the irrepressible revolutionist, as Ihey Strolled into the arcade at tin* side ..f ttie main plaza, "you've changed a bit in appearance, You're a bit heavier, aren't yuu?" Saxon ditl not seem to hear. The plaza was gay with the life of the miniature capital. Officers strolled about in iheir brightest uniforms, blowing cigarette smoke and Ogling the Kenoritas, wbo looked shyly back from under their mantillas. From tlo* band-stand blared the national nir.

"Doubtless, sennrs." he nssureii them, "your legation will be immediately coihmunlcated with, i have no authority to deviate from my orders." CHAPTER X. Al the Pnlnre, the Americans were -'Pirated, Snxon was ushered Int,, a small room, barely furnished, its one window was barred, and the one door that penetrated its thtck wall was locked from the outside, It scented Incredible that under such stimulus his memory should remain torpid. This must he un absolute echo from tho past—yei, lie could not romember. But Hodman remembered and evidently ihe government remembered, About thr same hour, Mr. Partridge called at lhe "Frances y Ingles," where he learned that Senor Saxon had gone out. Mc called again late In the evening Saxon had not returned, The following morning, the Hon. Charles Pendleton, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States of America, read Saxon's letters of Introduction. The letters sufficiently established the standing of the artist to assure him ids minister's inlcresl. Partridge was dispatched t<> Die hotel io bring tlic traveller to thc legation. Partridge came back within tlie hour, greatly perturbed. Having found lhat Saxon luul not returned during tht! night, and knowing tlie customs of the country, he hail spent a half-hour in investigating by channels known to himself, He learned, at the end of much questioning and cross- questtoning) that the senor, together witli another gentleman evidently also an Americano del Nordo, had passed the slreel-door late in tho evening, with military escort. Mr. Partridge hastened lo his legation al a rale of speed subversive of all Puerto Frio traditions, in Puerto Frio, haste is held to be an affront to dignity, and dignity is esteemed. The Hon. Charles Pendleton listened lo his subordinate's reporl with rising choler. His diplomacy was of the aggressive type, and ills first duty was that of making the protecting pinions of llie spread eagle stretch wide enough to reach every one of those entitled to its guardianship. Saxon and Hodman had the night before entered the frowning walls of the Palace ibrough a narrow door at the side. The American minister now passed hastily between files of presented arms, inside, he learned that bis excellency, el Presidenle, had not yet finished his breakfast, but earnestly desired Ids excellency, el mlnlstro, to share with him an alligator pear and cup of coffee. In the suave presence of the dictator, the minister's choler did not cease. Rather, it smoldered while he listened perfunctorily to flattering banalities. He had struck through intermediary stages; had passed over the heads of departments and holders of portfolios, to issue his ultimatum to the chief executive. Yet, in approaching his subject, be matched the other's suavity With a pleasantness that the dictator distrusted. The dark face of the autocrat became grave until, when Mr, Pendleton reached the Issue, it was deeply sympathetic, surprised and attentive. "I am Informed lhat some one~*l eau not yet suy who—wearing your excellency's uniform, seized an American citizen of prominence on the slreels of Puerto Frio last evening." Tlie President was shocked and Incredulous. "impossible!" he exclaimed with deep distress; then, again: "Imposiiible! ' From the diplomat's eloquent sketching of the situation, it might have been gathered lhat the United States war department stood anxiously watching f.u- such affronts, ami that the United Stales war department would be very petulant when notification of the incident reached it. Mr. Pendleton further assured his excellency, el presidente, thai it WOUld be liis Immediate cure to see that such notification had the right of way over tlie Panama cable. "I havo Information." began the dictator slowly, "lhat two men suspected of connection with an insurgent junta have lieen arrested. As to Ihelr natlor- ulity. I hnve received no details. Cer- talnly, no American citizen has been seized witli my consent. The affair appears grave, and shall be investigated. Your excellency realizes the nc_es- slty of vigilance. The revolutionist forfeits Ills nationality/' He spread Ihls bands In a vague neslttre. "Mr. Robert Saxon," retorted (he minister, "should hardly lie a suspect. The fad thai he was not a guest at my legation, und for the time a member of my family, was due only to tin; accident of my absence from the city ou his arrival yesterday." with sudden bustle, the machinery lof tlo- Palace was set in motion. Of a surely, some one had blundered, and "some one" should be condlgnly punished! It wns a very irate gentleman, flushed from unwonted exertion in the tropics, who was ushered at lust Into Saxon's room, li was a very much puzzled ami Interested gentleman who st i contemplatively studying the direct eyes of the prisoner a halt-hour later. Saxon had told Mr. Pendleton the entire narrative of bis quest of himself, and, ns he told It, the older mnn listened Without a question or interruption, Standing with bis eyes fixed on the leller. twisting an unllgbted cigar In his lingers. "Mr, Saxon. I am here to safeguard lh*' Interests of Americans. Our government does not, however, undertake lo Chaperon filibustering expeditions. Ii becomes necessary lo question you." There followed u brief catechism In Which III*' replies seemed to satisfy tlie questioner. When he enme to the in cldenl of his meeting with Rodman, Snxon paused. "As to Rodman," he said, "who was arrested with me. I have no knowledge lhat WOUld bo evidence. 1 know noth int: excepl from the hearsay of his re dial." Mr. Pendleton raised ids hand. "I am only i|ueniionlng you as to yourself. This olher mnn, Rodmnn, will have to prove bis Innocence. I'm afraid 1 can'! help him. According to Ihelr own admissions, they know nothing against you beyond the fact that you were seen with him last night." Saxon came to his feet, bewildered. "Hut the previous matter—the embezzlement?" he demanded. "Of course, I had nothing to do with this affair. It wns that other for whieh I was arrested." The envoy laughed. "Vou punched cows six years ago. You cartooned live years ago, and you have painted landscapes ever since. 1 presume, if it became necessary, you could prove an alibi for almost seven years?" Saxon nodded. Ho fancied he saw Ihe drift of ihe argument, H was to culminate in the same counsel lhal Steele had given. Ho would be advised lo allow the lime to reach the period when his other self should lie legally dead. Mr. Pendleton paced the lloor for a space, then came hack and halted before the cot, on the edge of which the prisoner sat. "1 have been at this post only two years, but 1 am, of course, familiar with the facts of thai case." He paused, then added with irrelevance: "It may be that you bear a somewhat striking resemblance to tills particularly disreputable conspirator, of course, that's possible, but—" "But highly improbable." admitted Saxon. "Oh. you are nol that man! That can be mathematically demonstrated," assert ed Mr. Pendleton suddenly. "I was only reflecting on the fallibility of circumstantial evidence, l am a lawyer, and once, as district attorney, I convicted a man on such evidence. He's iu the penitentiary now, and it sel me wondering if " But Saxon stood dumfoumled, vainly trying to speak. Ills fnce wus white, ami he had seized the envoy by the arm wilh a grip loo emphatic for diplomatic etiquette. "Do you know what you are saying?" he shouted. "1 am not tlie man! How do you know that?" "I know it," responded Mr. Pendleton Calmly, "because tlie incident of the firing-squad occurred five years ago— and Hie embezzlement only four years back." Saxon remained staring in wide- eyed amazement. He felt his knees grow suddenly weak, and the blood cascaded through the arteries of his temples. Then he turned, and, dropping again lo tbe edge of the cot, covered his face with his hands. "You see," explained Mr. Pendleton, "there is only one ground upon which any charge against you can be reinstated- an impeachment of your evidence as to how you have put In the past five years. And." he smilingly summarized, "since the ease comes before this court solely on your self- accusation, since you have journeyed some thousands of miles merely to prosecute yourself, I regard your evidence on that point as conclusive." Hater, the envoy, with his nrm through that of llie liberated prisoner, walked out past deferential sentries into tbe Plaza, "And, now, tbe blockade being run." he amiably inquired, "whut are your plans?" "Plans!" exclaimed Snxon scornfully; "plans, sir. Is plural. 1 have only one: lo catcli the next boat that's headed norlh. Why," he explained, "there is soon going to be an autumn In tiie Kentucky hills with all the woods a blaze ut color." The minister's eyes took on a touch of nostalgia. "I guess there's nothing much the matter wilh the autumn in Indiana, either," he afllrmed. ! Tliey walked on together at a slow gait, for the morning sun was already [beginning fo bent down as if It were ! focused through a burning-glass. "And sny," suggested Mr. Pendleton j at Inst. "If you ever get to a certain lown In Indiana called Vevny, which Is ! on some of the more complete mnps, | walk around for me and look at the J Davis building. You won't see much— i only a hideous two-story brick, with a I metal roof and dusty windows, but my shingle used to hang out ibere—and H's in God's country!" Hefore tliey had reached the legation, Saxon remembered thnt his plans Involved another detail, and with some secrecy he sought llie cable office, and wrote a message to Duskn. Its composition consumed n half-hour, yet he fell it was not quite the masterpiece llie occasion demanded. It rend: "Arrived yoslerduy. Slept in jail. oui today, Am not he." The operator( counting off the length with his pencil, glanced up thoughtfully. "li costs a dollar a word, sir." be vouchsafed. nut Saxon nodded affluently, for he knew that the City of Rio sailed north that afternoon, and he did not know lhal her sister ship, the Amazon, with Duska on board, was at (his moment nosing its way south through the tepid water only twenty-four hours away. As the City of Rio Wound up inr rusly anchor thnt afternoon, Saxon was Jubilantly smoking his pipe by Ihe rail. In lhe launch just putting off from tlie steamer's side stood tlie Hon. Mr. Pendleton, waving his hat, and Jimmy Partridge wildly shouting, "Give my regards to Hroadway!" The minister's flag, whicli had floated over tlie steamer while tlio great personage was on board, wns just dipping, and Saxon's hand was still cramped under the homesick pressure of the farewell grlpB. Suddenly, iho traveller hnd a feeling of ti presence at his elbow, and, turning, was profoundly astonished to behold again the complacent visage of Mr. Rodmnn. "Vou see, 1 still nppenr to be among those present," announced the filibuster, with some breeztness of manner. "H's Irue thnt I stand before you, 'my sweet young face still haggard with the anguish it has worn,' but I'm here, which is, after all, the salient feature of the situation. Say, what did you do to them?" "I?" (jueslioned Saxon. "1 did nothing. The minister came and took me nut of their Hastlle." "Well, say, he must have thrown an awful scare Into them." Mr. Rodman thoughtfully stroked his chin with a thin forefinger. "He must have intimidated them unmercifully and brutally. They stampeded into my wing of the Palace, and set me free as though they were afraid I had tho yellow-fever. 'Wide they flung the massive portals'—nil that sort of thing. Now, what puzzles me is, why did they do it? They had the goods on me— almost, However, I'm entirely pleased.'' Rodman inughed as he lighted a cigar, and waved his hand with mock sentiment toward the shore. "And 1 had put the rifles Ibrough, too," lie declared, jubilantly. "I'd turned them over lo Hie Insurreoto gentleman in good order. Did they clamor for your blood about the $1.00,000?" "Rodmnn," said Saxon slowly, "I hardly expect you to believe it, but lhal was a ease of mistaken Identity. I'm not the man yon think. I was never hi Puerto Frio before." Rodman let the cigar drop from his astonished lips, anil caught wildly after It us it fell overboard. "What '.'■' he demanded, at last, "How's that?" "ll was a man who looked like me," elucidated Saxon. "YOU are damned right he looked like you!" Rodman balled, amazed into silence. Al Inst, ho said: "Well, you have got the clear nerve! What's the Idea, anyhow. Don't you trust llie?" The artist laughed. "1 hardly thought you would credit ll," he said. "After all, ihat doesn't make much difference. The point is, my dear boy, I know 11." Put Rodman's debonair smile soon rotumed. lie held up bis hand with a gesture of acceptance. "Whftt difference does it make? A gentleman likes to change hts linen-- why nol his personality? 1 dare say H's a very decent impulse." For a mom nt, Saxon looked up witli an instinctive resentment for the politely phrased skepticism of the otber. Then, Ins displeasure changed to a smile. He had, for it moment, felt lhe same doubt When Mr. Pendleton brought his verdict. Rodman had none of the facts, and a glance at the satirical features showed that it would be impossible for this unimaginative adventurer to construe premises to a seemingly impossible conclusion. He was a materialist, and dealt in palpable appearances. Afler all, what did ii matter? He had made his effort, ami would, us be had promised Duska. vex his Sphinx with no more questioning. He would go on as Robert Saxon, feeling that he had done his best wilh conscientious thoroughness. R was, after all only cutting the Gordian knot in bis life. After a moment, he looked up. "Which wny do you go?" he Inquired. Tbo other mini -dinih*•.*-• I lliu sihoul- ders. "I go back to Puerto Frio- after the blow-off." "After the blow-off?" Saxon repeated, in interrogation. "Sure!" Rodmnn stretched his thin hand shoreward, and dropped his voice. "Take a good look at yon fair city," he laughed, "for, before you hap pen back here again, it may bave ■fallen under fire and sword." The soldier of fortune spoke witb some of the pride that comes to the mnn who feels he is playing a large gnme, whether It be a game of construction or destruction, or whether, as Is oftener the ease, it be both destruction and construction. The painter obediently looked back at the adobe walls and cross-tipped towers. "Puerto Frio has been very good to me," he said, in an enigmatical voice. Uul Rodman was thinking too much of bis own plans lo notice the com ment. "Do you see the mountain at the back of the city?" he suddenly de manded. "That's San Francisco. Do you see anything queer about it?" The artist looked at the peak rearing Its summit against the hot blue overhead, and saw only a sleeping tropical background for the indolent tropical panorama stretching at It base. "Well —" Hodman dropped liis vide yet lower—"if you had a pair of Held glasses and studied tbe heights, you could see a few black specks that are now disused guns. Ry day after tomorrow, or, at thc latest, one day more, each of those specks will bo a crater, and lhe lown will be under a shower of solid shot. There's some class to work that can turn as mild a mannered hill as tbnt Into a volcan, —no?" Saxon stood gazing with fascination "Meanwhile," ho beard lhe other comment, "shipboard is good enough for yours truly- -because, as you know shipboard Is neutral ground for political offenders—nnd the next gentle, man who occupies lite Palace will be a friend who owes mt* something." CHAPTER XI. Saxon denied himself lhe lure of the deck lhat evening. Though he would probably be close behind his messages iu arriving, he was devoting himself to a ful! nnrrntlon embodied in a love- letter. He bent over tho tnsk In the closeness of the dining saloon, wtth such absorption lhal he did not rise to Investigate even when, wllh a protracted shrieking of whlslles, tliere came SUdden cessation from thc jarring throb of screw-shuft nnd engines. Then, tho City of Rio came to a full stop. He vnguely presumed that another Imporlnnt port had been reached, and did not siiHpoct that the vessel lay nut of sight of hind, nnd thnt a second stenmcr, southbound, hnd halted on signal, and lay likewise motionless, her lights glittering Just off tho starboard bow. When, almost two hours later, he hnd folded the Inst of many pages, nnd gone on deck for a breath before turning In, the engines were once more noisily throbbing, and he sow only the bulk and lights of another vessel pointed down-world under steqm. But, as usual, Rodman, gentleman of multifarious devices, was not letting facts escape him. Indeed, It was at! Rodman's instance that two mail ships, the Cily of Rio and the Amazon, had marked time for an hour and a half. In the brewing of affairs, Rodman was just now an Important personage, nnd the commanders of these lines were under instructions from their offices to regard his requests as orders, and to obey them with due respect and profound secrecy. The shifting of administrations at Puerto FrJo meant certain advantages in tho | way of concessions to ggntlemen in Wall Street whose* word, with these steamers, was something moro than influential. Mr. Rodman had been rowed across from the Rio to the Amazon, and he had taken with blm the hand-lugguge that made his only Impedimenta. Inl Mr. Rodman's business, it was Import-1 ant to travel light. If he found Senor1 Mlraflorcs nmong the passengers of the Amazon, 11 was his intention to right-about-face, and return south again. Senor Mirnflores had been iu the States as lhe secret and efficient head of thai junta which Hodman served. lie had very capably directed the shlp- piiu-. of rifles and many sub-rosa details thai must be handled beyond the frontier) Whon It is Intended in change governments without the knowledge or consent of armed aud In trenched Incumbents, The home-coming of Senor Mlratlores must of necessity lie, unostentatious, since ids arrival would lie ihe signal for the conversion of the quiet steeps of San Francisco Into craters. Rodman knew thai, if the senor were on board the Amazon, his name would nol be on the sailing-list, and his august personality would be cloaked lu disguise. His point of debarkation WOUld lie Home secluded coast village where fellow conspirators could hide him. Ills advent into the capital Itself would not be made at all unless made al the head of an Invading army, and, If so made, be would remain us minister of foreign affairs In lhe cabinet of General Vegas, fo whom jusi now, as lo himself, Hie city gates wero closed. Rut Senor Mlratlores bad selected a more cautious means of entry than the ship, which might bear travellers wbo knew him. Hodman spent an hour on the downward steamer. He managed to see tlie face of every passenger, and even investigated the swarthy visages in Hie steerage. He asked of some tourists casual questions as to destination, and chatted artlessly, then went over the side again, and was rowed back across the Intervening strip of sea. Immediately upon his departure overside, the Amazon proceeded on her course, and five minutes Inter the City of Rio was also under way. The next morning, after a late breakfast, Saxon was lounging at the mil amidship. He had ceased looking backward, and all liis gaze was for the front. Ah-md of him. tho white superstructure, the white-duck uniform of the officer pacing the bridge, the whiteness of the holystoned deck, all stood boldly out against the deep cobalt of the gently swelling sea. Snxon was satisfied with life, and, when he snw Hodman sauntering toward him. he looked up with a welcoming nod. '"Hello, Carter—1 menn Saxon." The gun-smuggler corrected his form of address with a laugh. The breezy American was a changed and Improved man. Thc wrinkled gray flannels had given way to natty while duck. His Panama hat was new and of such quality that it could be rolled and drawn through a ring as large as a half-dollar. He was shaven to an extreme plnkuess of face. As Saxon glanced up. his eyes wearing tell-tale recognition of Ihe transformation, the thin man laughed afresh. "Notice Hie difference, don't you?" he genially inquired, rolling a cigarette. "The gray grub Is splendidly Changed Into the snow-white butterfly. I'm a very flossy bug, eh. Saxon?" The painter admitted the soft self- Impeachment wltb a qualification. "I begin to think you arc n very destructive one." "I am." announced Rodman, calmly. "I could spin you many a yarn of Intrigue, bul for the fact that, since you began wearing a * halo instead of n hat. you huve become too snncitfled to listen." , "Innsmuch." smilingly suggested tlie painter, "as we mlgbl yet be languishing In tlie cunrtel except for tlie fact Ibat 1 was able fo give so good an account of myself, I don't see that you have any reasonable quarrel with my halo." Rodmnn raised his brows. "Ob, 1 never hist sight of tho fuel that you had some reason for the saint role, und, as you sny, 1 wns In on the good results. Hut, now that you are flitting northward, what's Ihe Idea of keeping your ears stopped'."' "They are open." declared Mr. Saxon graciously; "you are at liberty to tell me anything you like, but only what you like. I'm nol thirsting for criminal confessions." "That's all right, but you " Rodman broke off, und bis lips twisted Into ironical good humor—"no, I apologize —1 menu, a fellow who looked remnrk- ubly like yon used lo be so deeply versed In Inlernatlonnl politics thut 1 think this new adventure would appeal lo you. Ever remember hearing of one Senor Mlratlores?" Snxon shook his bead, whereupon Rodmnn Inughed with gronl sophistication. Carter had known Senor Mirnflores quite well, and Rodman knew that Carter hud known him. "Very consistent acting," he approved. "You're a good comedian. In tho Chinese theatres, they put Hour on tho eomodlnn's nose to show Hint bo's not a tragedian, but you don't need tho badge. You're all right. You know how to get a laugh. Hut this Isn't dramatic criticism. It's wurs nnd rumors of wars." The adventurer drew a long puff from his cigarette, Inhaled It deeply and stood idly watching thc curls of outward-blown smoke hanging In tho hot air. before he went on. "Well, Mlratlores hns once more been nt thc helm. Of course, In the lower commissions of thc insurrecto erganl- zation we have thu usual assortment of foreign ofllcers, odds and ends, but the chief difference between this enterprise and fhe other one—the one Carter knew about—Is the fact that we have some artillery, and that, when we start things going, we can come pretty near battering down the old town." Hodman proceeded to sketch the outlines of Hie conspiracy. It was much the stereotyped arrangement with a few variations. Two regiments in the city barracks, suspected of disloyalty, had been practically disarmed by the President, but these troops had been secretly re-nrmed with a part of the guns brought in by Rodman, and would be ready to rise at the signal, together Willi several other disaffected commands—not for the* government, but against it. Tho mountain of San Francisco is really not a mountain at all, but a foot hill of fhe mountains. Yet, lt looks down on the city of Puerto Frio as Marathon on" the sen, and here are guns trained inward as well as outward. These guns can shell the capital Into ruins In the space of a few hours; then, they can hurl their projectiles further, and play havoc with Ihe environs. Also, Ihey can guard the city from the approach that lies along lhe roads from the Interior. A mmandor who holds Ban Francisco amis at lhe door of Puerto Frio wllh latch-key In Ids hand. The revolutionists under Vegas bad arranged their attack on the basis of unwarned assault. The Dictator bad Indeed sollie apprehensions, but Ihey were fears for the fm ure not for the immediate present. The hoops gnrrlMoned on San Francisco, ostensibly the loyal legion f Ihe Dictator's forces, were In reality watching the outward approaches only is doors through which they were to welcome friends. The guns lhat were trained and ready lo belch fire on signal from Vegan, wen? the guns trained Inward on the city, and, wheu Ihey pencil, the main plaza Would resemble nothlng so milch as the far end of a bowling alley when an expert stands ou the foul-line, and Ihe palace of the President would be the king-pin for tbelr gunnery. The insurrecto forces were to enter San Francisco without resistance, and Die opening of its crater was to be lhe signal for hurling through the streets of the city itself those troops tbat had been secretly armed wllh the smuggled weapons, completing the confusion ami throwing into stampeding panic the demoralised remnants upon which tbe government depended. Unless there were a traitor in ver> exclusive und carefully guarded coun- ils, there would hardly be a mis- arrlage of the plans. Saxon stood Idly listening to these confidences. Nothing seemed strange to him. and least of all the entire willingness of the conspirator to tell him things that involved life and deatli for men nnd governments. He knew thnt. In spite of nil he had said, or could sny, to the other man, be wns the former ally in crime. He had thought nt flrsl that Rodman would ultimately discover some discrrpaney in appear- ■e which would undeceive him. but now he realized that the secret of the continued mistake was an almost miraculous resemblance, and the fact thnt the olher man had. In the former affair, met him in person only twice, and that five years ago. "And so," went on Rodman in conclusion, "I'm here adrift, waiting for the last act. I thought Mlraflores might possibly be on the Amazon last night, and so, while you sat dawdling over letter-paper nnd pen, little Howard Stanley was up and doing. I went across to the other boat, and made search, but it was another case of nothing transpiring. Mirnflores was too foxy to go touring so openly." Saxon felt that some comment was expected from him, yet his mind was wandering far afield from the doings of juntas. All these seemed am unreal as scenes from an extravagantly staged musical comedy. What appeared to hhn most real nt that moment was the picture of u slim girl walking, dryad- llke, through the hills of her Kentucky homeland, and fhe thought that he would soon be walking with her "It looks gloomy for the city." ho said, abstractedly. "Say." went on Rodman, "do you know lhat lhe only people on that boat booked for Puerto Frio were three fool American tourists, and that, of the three, two were women? Now. what chance have those folks got to enjoy themselves? Do you think Puerto l-'rlo, say day afler tomorrow, will make a hit with them?" The Informant laughed softly to himself, but Saxon was still deep fn his own thoughts. It suddenly struck him witli surprised discovery llmt the view from the deck was beautiful. And Rodman, also, fell lhe languid Invitation of the sea air, and it made him wish to talk. So. unmindful of a self-absorbed listener he went on garrulously. "You know, 1 felt like quoting to Ihem, 'lnio lhe Jaws of death, Into the mouth of bell, sailed lhe three lOUHstS,' but that would have been lo tip off State secrets. If people Will fare forth for adventure, I guess they've got to have It." "Do you suppose," asked Saxon perfunctorily, "they'll be lu actual danger?" "Danger!" repeated Hie filibuster wllh sarcasm. "Danger, did you say? (Mi, no, of course not. It will be a pink tea! You know there nre two places In It where Amcrlcnn visitors enn stop —tho Frances y Ingles, where you were, nnd the American Legation. By dny after tomorrow, thnt plana will be tho bull's-eye for General Vegas' target-practice. Genernl Vegas has a mountain to rest his target-gun on, and It's loaded with shell. Oh. no, there won't be any danger!" "Wasn't thore some preiexl on which you could warn them off?" inquired Ihe painter. Rodman shook his head. "You see, I have to be careful In my talk. I might say loo much. As It was. I knocked Ihe town to tho fellow all I eould, Rut he seemed hell-bent on getting there, and getting there quick. He wus a fool Kentucklan, and you can't head off a bull-headed Ken- tucklnn with subtleties or hints. I've (Continued on another page.

The two greatest controversies that ...in. up in horse-feeding arc the am..tin's to feed, and whether or not oats should be chopped. In the lirst case, the amount fed will depend entirely upon the amount of work done, but a safe average would be a gallon of oals three times a day for a 1,200- pound horse doln;; heavy work, and from this feed according to amount of work done and the corresponding weight of the horse. Regarding the crushing of oats, this is entirely optional if the horse's teetli ure good and he dues not "bolt" his grain. However, for old horses and fast feeders, the oats are better crushed. Many crush ull their oats for the purpose of destroying weed seeds that may be In the oats. If oats arc crushed, they should be milled in small quantities that will be eaten within the week. If chopped outs are left longer they will becme stale, and tlnally go musty. This year, when there is so much feed wheat in the country, many will put this into their ration, and rightly so. However, wheat is one of the strongest grains, ami must be fed with caution and close attention to horses. For this reason, it would be well to chop it and mix it iu chopped oats in n ratio of about one to two. Mares in foal should never be fed heavily wllh grain, as there is a tendency to constipation that will go seriously with (lie mare at foaling lime ami the foal immediately afterwards. If she is stabled, feed boiled feeds quite frequently In place of the raw grain.

Thero Nancy caught sight of the blue sky, us clear as sea-water, across which litlle boats of clouds went racing madly to the country, bearing fairy picnickers—excursion boats upside-down, and going so fast that they tore oft' parts of their own sails, and left them like breakers for the next craft to gather up and use for steam. Nancy smiled at her tangled notions; and then sighed. It took courage to go into the "New Vienna Cafe" for breakfast lately. That window was always the same—except when sour- looklng strawberries wave placo to waxy gray raspberries, or lhe rolls and lhe buns changed sides. Suddenly a dim masculine flguro, wearing across lis waist tho startling legend "Nice Ham Sandwich, a cents" appealed ill the g|nSB beside her nWll, and a mild deep voice chuckled: "!)'- ynu 'fl|)080 HlOSO I'oses'll ever lade, Miss Nancyv They haven't dropped n no inl in iwo months."

She had thought a lot about him lately. Thai was why she paused. She hud a glimpse of the blue sk; with its Meet of clouds bent on finding fairyland. Her blue eyes held a hint f fairyland, too- -John Goodln went lo Ibe telephone, whistling, to warn thc Union Stationary Company and Consolidated Lumber of Ihelr loss tiiis day. Then be tucked the half-laughing, half-frightened Nancy under Ids arm. und tliey went lo the station. She was very trim in spotless white and a big straw hat with nodding roses. Her yes sparkled wllh the mischievous joy of a truant. They took a train for the west; for west was the rolling country, west was dreamland and happiness, and the clouds were going tliere. John paid the fare for au hour and told the smiling conductor to put ihem off when that ran out. And when he Kave them Iheir slips. John cried suddenly: "Listen, listen to this, will you?" He read the name of the village un hour away: "Itosedale." "John Goodln, It Isn't it's loo Rood to bo true—Hosedale- " And Nancy ■ame quteti afraid of her happiness. And there was lhe country! fresh and urecti nud sparkling, with the curling river between Melds embroidered In rn-rows, and boys tlshlng, and ull tlm Rood, sweet odor of Ihe soil. At Rosedale they descended, with no baggago save smiles. Nancy do* hired lhe town had the distinction, unlquo In history, of living up to Ms name. It was sel In a valley that might well have been a date, and It was mini wilh roses. They ran over the whole place, crimson uml white uml yellow, and even the gray courthouse mitigated the severities of (he law wllh ihe fragranco and color of roses. "Let's go out lu the real country. We'll let the breeze take us." She picked a grny-wlggcd dandelion from Ihe courtyard and, blowing the feathery plumes Into tlie ulr, hummed: "Tho wind blew east, the wind blew west, Tlie wind blew over thc cuckoo's nest. . . , "Como on, John Goodln. let's tlnd lhe cuckoo's nest." So they wonl south with a wilding breeze, full of June odors uud warmth, drowsy nnd delicious. The road danced up and down, between meadows and woodland nnd corn-field. A mnn on a wagon cried Howdy, strangers," nnd thoy cried Howdy" back, glad to bo where folks spoko instead of pushing you off the sidewalk. Next they saw some fluffs of white wool blowing and rolling across a green hill. "Oh, look, look, this year's lambs! On their stilts yet. Watch 'em bounce, stiff-legged and woodeny like toy lambs from a big Noah's Ark—I want one." Sho was over the rail fence like a boy, and across the new green pled with buttercups. The lambs bounced away on springs, "baa-bau-ing" plaintively. Her hat fell off, making a cream-and-white Ilower against the turf, and an inquisitive lamb minced up sideways to Investigate it. She couldn't caleh utie. so waved her urnis and hallooed till mothers and children weiil galloping off with a due poll ml - Ing and Ltnkllng of throat-bolls.

In ibe nftornoon, they struck across Del,is ai his suggestion ami so stuml led down a maple lane Into lllc yard of tin- castle. This was a gray old farmhouse with columns, lucked away In a valley for a nap. wrapped in a gorgeous patchwork-quill of (lowers. The gat.- had a crooked "For Sale" sign ou il. s<> Ihey weiil in to rest ami explore. Everything seemed asleep in the soft sunlight, asleep as if waiting for someone to come and wake it into a swift ami peaceful busy-ness. Morning- glories hung blue and while vases on the fences, nnd roses lurked everywhere; a snowball bush had burst like a white rocket, above flags and peonies llirlinjj; along the walk. Beyond the barns were rows of ripe raspberries. and white-blossomed blackberries, a great strawberry patch, and an orchard, and n vineyard. "A fruit-farm." cried Nancy. "Doesn't lhat sound pretty—-a fruit-farm?" "Yes, looks as if somebody might be riijht happy round here, ami make a little money, too." Nancy sighed. They entered the house through a broken window, laughing at the Idea of ghosts. "They'd be nice, friendly ones who'd only ask the lime of day." Hut she jumped when a cluster of roses fell suddenly through an opened shutter and showered petals In her hair. They found one big white room, with wire screens on half ihe windows, of which they couldn't guess lhe use. He called her to look at a row of pencil marks on the door-posl, each marked with a name. Tliere wns "Alexander, idghl years old." ind "Margaret, aged ten." "The children's meosurlng place." Nancy whispered. "'This was Hie nursery." Tliey closed lhe door Softly, ns if on a sacred place, aud stole out to sll silent a long lime in the sunshine. When the shadows were growing old and they bad pruned some of the bushes, playing like children, sho filled her hair with roses, and her arms witli roMes, and, waving a farewell kiss at the old house, followed him down the road. Her hair was blowing round her cheeks (hat bloomed with roses, too. He laughed at the little thunderclouds of .lust that rose when their feet went plop! in the rond; nnd she vowed the elder blossoms were fairies' luce hung on Hie hedge to dry. "Oh, I don't want to go back- I don't want to go back! Everything's always different out here. And I have been so happy today." When they loitered in the shady court -houso grove again, she must needs play out the game of the afternoon. "I'm going to find out what that lovely place is worth somebody might leave nie n fortune some dny, und 1 could live there nlwnys," A polite old negro guided them to Ihe recorder's office. She nsked the urny clerk: "Ho you know who owns thnl fruit-farm on the South rond with the pillars and oaks and a Spring" house, about three miles out? Ami What do tliey waul for It?" The clerk polished his kIushcs. "I reck'n you menu the old .Miiclionald place. I'm sorry lhal aln'l for sale. Somebody bought ll Just a couple of weeks ago, Mrs. "No, no Miss! Oh. I'm so sorry' Mo you know who bought It?" Thc clerk nodded, "Yep. 'Twns a fellow from down io il ity: stranger here a Mr. Goodln John Goodln." A blush like lhe roses covered her face. Without a word she went out Into Ihe BhadOW of lhe old etuis. |[e followed doubtfully. "Nancy I forgive me!" "Ho yon mean that our Kolng west nmt happening to get off at Rosedale and nit you knew all the lime?" She sank on a bench, and he stood over her, looming big and honest. "Yes, I brought you here. I 1 couldn't sny ll nny other wny. 1 love you, Nancy, and 1 wnnt you want to lake you out of lbc- lown you hale, to live with me on tho old MacDonald place. I've paid half on it, and you'll have to work, but—but—I love ynu, ind—-" He bent over and took her hands. Ue benl lower, and a smile danced in and onl. lie kissed her under the roses. After a long time, be whispered: "I guess everything's tlie same, Nancy, even lu the country. This is lhe same old story." She smiled, "it isn't, it's different from anything else lu the world." CASTORIA For Infant, and Children. Thi Kind You Han Always Bought Bears the Signature of BLISTERS Misters are irritant applications, used for tlie purpose of creating what is known as "counter-Irritation." They cause a superficial Irritation, lho results of which may have an effect upon organs moro or loss deep-seated, or they may be applied for the purpose of stimulating the actions of the absorbents, and thus lend to reduco enlargements of different kinds. In the. early ages It was thought that two Inflammations could md exist at tho same time; hence, in case of inflammation of au Internal organ, for Instance, in flam ma I ion of lhe lungs, it was olalmod that If Inflammation of tho Sklu covoring tin* lung cavity wero created, the internal Inflammation musl of hocossIly be allayed, hence the ne "counter-irrilailon." 'oiiiiier-irritallon Is practiced at present wllh the Idea of producing lhe sume rosults, but the theory of action Is different. The blood vessels of inflamed areas are always congested; hence, if artificial inflammation he set Up, lhe blood vessels of the skill become engorged, and this has a tendency to reduce ihe engorgement of tho vessels, and hence reduce Inflammatory action <if deep-seated organs In the same region. The effects of a blister probably depend nn much upon its application as upon the ingredients it contains. If simply applied to a surface, the effects are slight, but If applied with smart friction- well rubbed in—tliey are well marked. Misters may be In the form of a paste or liquid. The active principle of the ordinary paste blister is either blniodidc of mercury or canthnrldes. Many practitioners prefer a combination of the two. When either Is used. It Is mixed with lard, lanolin or vaseline, and the strength of the mixture will depend greatly upon the action desired, being one part of the drug to four, six or eight of the lutter. Where well marked counter-Irritation or blistering is desired, the following kIvcs good results: Blnlodlde of mercury, 2 drums. Powdered cantharldes, 2 drams. Hard or vnseline, _ ounces—mix. This, of course, is one to four, and it may be made stronger or weaker, if desired. The seat of application should be clipped, and ilie animal tied, or some arrangement made whereby he is unable to bite or lick the parts. The blister causes nn irritation, nnd If the patient be at liberty he will lick or bite the parts, and thereby get some of the blister on lips, tongue, or may bite sufficiently bard to scarify thc skin of Lhe blistered parts. The blister should be applied a little at a time, with smart friction, then a little more, etc., until la to _U minuies hnve been spent In the application. In about twenty-four hours a little more blister is rubbed well in. and In about twenty-four hours Ipnger sweet oil or some other non- irritant lubricant should be applied. The patient's head should now be let down, and if be can be provided wllh a box stall, It Is advisable. The blistered parts should be idled every day until the scale raises off, which Is generally In ten days to two weeks, when, if necessary, another blister can be applied, as at tlrst. and. where further blistering is desired, it should be done once in every four weeks. While blistering in this manner causes the hair to full out. It does not destroy the hair follcles, provided reasonable attention to directions is observed: hence, there Is no dntiKcr of causing an urea permanently devoid of hair. AVERAGE AND POSSIBLE PRODUCTION Kvery business uian, if he has any in terest in his vocation, desires to have it known as the greatest business of its kind in the couutry. Manufacturing plants are rated according to the size of their output, uud their managers nre never content until this hits reached Its fullest capacity. Likewise, uo agriculturist should he -ati-tied until every available foot of soil on his furm is doing its utmost toward Increasing tho product ion of Hint furm. Keeping down product ion may raise prices, but the man who has the lowest production suffers most, I iittse there ure always those who put forth every endeavor to get hir^e yields ami anyway it large production Is better for nil enneer I.

Wherein does the profit lie for those? And whut is to hinder them from economically Increasing returns by following approved methods! Wheat after wheat, year after yenr. without fertilizer of nny kind, cannot but do- It-Mo tho soil nnd rnuse light crops, which bring down tho average. The grower of the henvy crop benefits nt the expense of the producer of those poor crops; then, why not grow on each acre sown tho heaviest crop that the soil will possibly produce? Canada's wheat in llilu was worth 1(1118,973,000, al L6.1. bushels per acre. At 40 bushels, and the same rato per bushel, it would have brought $279,858,730, Ol' a dillerence of $100,885,730 annually in this crop uloue. tf tho price had been slightly less, the bulk of the growers would still have I cHteil. Oats, perhaps the most widely grown .crop in Canada, shows equally striking results. Tho average yield in 1910 of :i_.7!> bushels per acre, is not in comparison with tho possibilities of our soil. Sixty bushels is quite a common yield, and often 75 and 100 bushels per acre ure harvested. Barley, with a. yield of 24.02 bushels per acre, is, like the two former, not giving the highest possible returns, l*'orly bushels of this crop is a very common yield, and 111) is often obtained, What must, bo the yield of the poorest crops, which wlu-n reckoned with these high yields bring the average down to a little over _■( bushels per acrol Other grain crops show like results.

Scuffling nntl cultivation, drilling and working the land is about the hardest work tin- farm horses ure put to in the whole year.

THE HORSE ON GRASS Science has taught and is intended to teach, in su fur us it concerns live slock that nature's wny is best, and whilst it has been said that man hus improved on nature the truth of the matter is that his Improvement consisted only iu the discover}' of a differ- not application of natural resources which gave better results. Vou have noticed when driving your team down the lane to the -seeding, that their heads go down to the Ilrst bit of green grass in their way, no matter how much hay ami grain they may have just eaten iu thc stable. It means that the season for feeding liny and other cured grasses is almost finished, ami the best hay ou earth cannot take the p)aco of the meanest patch of grass. Of course, (here is always a little risk of cold or chill in turning out horses to grass, but as a general rule no other animal suffers ill effects so little from being turned out to gruss in any kind of weather as the horse. Provided n little euro is taken for a day or two until the gruss has passed through the system, there is no danger or fear of uuy harm. It is probable that many farmers will be obliged to turn out their horses early on account of shortness of feed, and provided they receive a liberal supply of grains, will tuke no barm. Sunday is always a goml day to (urn (hem out for the first time, as it is a lion working dny. They are then turned out cool aud rested, uud they settle 'lawn to cut after giving vent tn tlieir feeling. In the evening they can be brought up for (he nighl. uml then on work days they can be turned out for u few hours each evening for a few days. One may take advantage of the first really . warm night to leave them out altogether, nml they will take no further Iin mi. even f the weather should turn a bit rough »r cold. .Mares with foals should of course be let out on grass as soon as this can bo done with safety.

With the Horses HITCHING HORSES TANDEM Otll west, where horses did some very long hauling, for a saving In wages, as many as sixteen or eighteen wore sometimes hitched into one team, nil under the cure of one teamster and one roustabout.

OUt of the question, SO thoy were stretched out one span ln from of the other. l-'or a team like this, then- would usually be four wagons, hitched one behind the other by n "bull" or short tongue, the heavier wagonfl. being forward or nearest tbe team.

In the fields, n very much simpler method must be used. This Is called the "jerk" line, and consists of a single line stretching ail along the nigh hames, and snapped to a chin- strap on the bit of tbe nlis'h leader.

Tbo otber liorses nro, until well broken, all guided by a line fastened to tbe stretchers just In front of them, except when on the road with heavy loads. H is here that the fancy or scientific work is done, for these long teams are often hauling loads of a ton to every horse, over roads that would make many a venturesome teamster shiver to travel with a light wagon and span. The teamster, then, rides in a light saddle on his nigh-wheeler, which, with bis mate, and the two "swingers"—the flrst span ahead, and fastened to the end of the tongue—he has to keep more directly in hand. Next lo the leaders, these four must be wood horses, for thelr's is all tbe extra-heavy work on the turns, and the "swingers," at the order "gee!" or "haw!" sometimes swing, jump tbe chain and pull their best almost at right-angles to the road, with the "wheeler" on the opposite side, when his mate wns walking In loose truces. so us to koop the bind wagon out from a corner. The "wheelers" are held bade by "slay" chains, so that either one can help tbe "swing" a groat deal to counteract the "lu-puli" of all the other horses.

From the rlghl hames ring lo the "gee'n or right bit ring a line is fastened Just louse onough that it will tighten only when the head Is raised higher tbun usual, so that when a sudden jerk is given to the line, sufficiently hard to make the leader raise his head, Iho line from tlio hames will pull him '•■4ce.'* After the leader bus become quite reliable, the fork may be dispensed with, und the line snapped directly lo a ring on a chin strap. MAKING CELLULOID Some plastic substances are obtained by a very simple treatment of paper pulp. The crudest and least homogeneous is papier mache, made of old newspapers, shredded, macerated long in water and agglutinated by a little Klue. A wrapping paper of characteristic appearance, pale yellow, thin. tough and glossy, is made from wood pulp treated with calcium bisulphite If this bisulphite pulp is worked In tho mill until Its libers nre completely disintegrated, and the muss is dossloated, a block of almost pure amorphous cellulose is obtained. This produce, which can bo worked like celluloid. Is known us "cell ul Ith." Woody fiber can also be converted Into a homogeneous plastic mass by the addition of a solvent, in vory small quantity, either to paper or to paper pulp. The fibers, softened by the solvent, nro then agglomerated by pressure und the mass is transformed into workable blocks by u long and complex series of WOShlngS and other treatments. In Ibis way a substance called "vulcanite" is made in Germany, with tbo aid of zinc chloride, and "collullne" has boon obtained, less successfully, in Prance, with the aid of caustic soda. In the process of Cross and Bevan the paper pulp is kneaded for a long time in caustic soda solution, to which carbon dlstilphide Is added at a certain Stage of the process. The product, known as "viscose," Is a vitreous mass whieh is soluble in water and which Is used for making varnishes, artificial silk and, in sheet form, for various purposes. Viscose, though much cheaper and less inflammable than celluloid, Is too brittle to form a universal substitute for thut substance. Hy kneading cellulose with a mixture of acetic acid and acetic anhydride, ln presence of a small quantity of sulphurous acid or other catalyzer, are produced tie aceto-eelluloses, which are subsequently freed from excess of acid and other Impurities by washing In water or benzine. Many such products of diverse properties can be obtained by modifying UlQ process, but until recently Ihe cost and dirricuity of producing thom prevented serious competition with celluloid. Bach celluloid factory makes its own nitrocellulose from thin uud very pure piiper, or sometimes from raw cotton, treated with strong nltrosulphurlo acid nud then washed. The most Important Improvements have been made in this ptoeoss of nitration, which Is chemical and therefore can be rationalized, whereas the subsequonl operations are necessarily empirical. In the best mothod. (be nitration is effected in an apparatus. In which the operation Is accelerated by continuous circulation of thc liquid and tbo latter Is entirely ro uporatedi to be used uguin afler its Initial strength has been restored by adding concentrated sulphuric acid and nitric acid. The process must ho regulated with great nicety In order to obtain, among tbo many possible nltro- celluloses, those whlcb are best suited for lbc manufacture of celluloid. The washed nitrocellulose Is reduced to a soft pulp hy long trituration In machines similar to paper mills. It Is (hen bleached with purmanganatefl or hypochlorites, washed thoroughly and dried hy repeated pressings between layers of felt In tbe hydraulic press. in the preparation of celluloid 100 parts by weight of nitrocellulose and BO parts of alcohol are knoaded with GO parts of camphor, or wltb about 20 parts of camphor and 40 parts of toluene. .Sometimes tbe camphor and nlrtocellulose are ground together before the alcohol is added. A llttlo castor oil is added to the mixture when a very flexible celluloid is desired. When the mass has become perfectly homogeneous it Is rolled Into sheets Which are superposed and subjected to the hydraulic pressure at a high temperature. The solid block thus formed Is cut up into sheets or plates which are again subjected to heat and pressure and for some purposes are polished by pressing tbem between hot plates of polished metal. Many objects are made from shoot celluloid by cutting, sawing, fluting and other operations with machine tools similar to those used in working sheet metal, Whenever It Is possible, however, advantage is taken of tbe plactlc- lty of hot celluloid, und the material Is molded, stamped or pressed Into the desired form. Thus the petals of artificial flowers are stamped from very thin Sheets, nud the stems, as well ns other rods and tubes, are formed by pressing hot celluloid through the circular or annular orifice of a sort of huge syringe. Celluloid can be colored uniformly by adding suitable pigments lo the mixture. .Marbled celluloid Is obtained by mixing chips of variously colored specimens and cementing thom together by heal and pressure.

Below, lu Die narrow confines of the cabin, Saxon paced back nmt forth ox- Cltedly as ho talked. For live minutes, be did uot pause, and Ibe otber man, sitting on ihe camp-stool in a corner of tbe place, followed him with eyes much as a lion-tamer, shut in a cage with bis uncertain charge, keeps his gaze bent on tbe animal. As ho listened, Rodman's expression ran a gamut from astonishment, through sympathy, and Into final distrust. At last, Saxon ended with: "And, so, I've got lo get them away from ibere. I've gol lo get back to that town, and you musl manage It. For God's sake, don't delay!" The painter had not touched on lhe Irrelevant point of his own mystery, or why the girl had followed him. That would hnve been u story tbe olher would not have believed, and there wus no time for argument and futile personalities. The slow northward fifteen knots had all at once become a fevered racing in the wrong direction, and each throb of the shafts in .the engine-room seemed to hurl htm madly through space away from his goal. When he halted In his narrative, the other man looked sternly up, and his sharp features were decisively set. "Suppose 1 should get you there," he began swiftly. "Suppose It were possible to get back in time, what reason have I to trust you? Suppose I were willing to trust you absolutely, what right have 1—a mere agent of a cause that's bigger than single lives—to send you back there, where a word from you would spoil everything? My God, man, there are thousands of people there who are risking their lives to change this government. Hundreds of (hem must die to do It. For months, we have worked and planned, covering nnd secreting every detail of our plot- ling. We have all taken our lives ln our hands. Now, a word of warning, an Indiscreet act. the changing of the garrison on San Francisco, nnd where would we be? Every platoon that follows Vegas and Mirnflores marches straight into a death-trap! The signal is given, and every man goes to destruction as swift as a bat out of hell. That's what you are asking me to do --to play traitor to my cause. And you calmly tell me I must do It simply be- «ause you've got friends In town." The man came to his feet with an excited gesture of anger. "You know thnt in this business no mnn can trust bis twin brother, und you ask me to trust you to the extent of laying ln your hnnds everything I've worked for—the lives of an army!" His tones rose to a climax of vehemence: "And that's what you ask!" "You kno%v you can trust me." began Saxon, conscious of the feeble nature of his argument. "You didn't have to toll me. 1 didn't ask your confidence. I warned you not to tell me." "Maybe I was a damned fool, and maybe you were pretty slick, playing me along wltb your bait of Indifference." retorted Rodman, hotly. "How am I to know whom you really mean lo warn? You Insist lhal 1 shall harbor a childlike faith in you, yet you won't trust me enough lo null your damned play-acting. You call on me lo believe In you, yet you lie lo me, and cling to your smug all is. You won't confess wbo you are, though yen know 1 kuow Ii. No, Mr. Carter, 1 must decline." Saxon Stood white and rigid. Every moment Wasted in argument imperiled more deeply the girl and tho friends he must save, for whoso hazarded lives he was unwittingly responsible. Yet. he could do nothing except with Rodman's assistance. The only chance lay In convincing him, and Ibat must be done at any cost. This wns no time for select Ing met bo.ls. "I don'l have lo tell a syllable of your plans," ho contended, desperately. "They will go wllh tne without asking lhe reason. I bave only to sec them. You havo my life In your hands; you can go wllh me. You can disarm mo, and keep ine In view every momenl of the time. You can kill mo at tho first false move. You can " "Cut out the tommy-rot," Interrupt rd Rodman, with fierce Iduntness. " can do better than thai, and you know 11. My word on this ship goes the same as If 1 wore an admiral. I can say to tho captain that you assaulted 1 me, nnd ll will be my testimony against yours. 1 can have you put In irons, and thrown down in the hold, nnd, by God, I'm going to do It!" Tbe mnn moved toward the cabin bell, and hailed witb bis linger near the button. "Now, damn you! my platform Is 'Vegas y Liberlad,* and I'm not tbe sucker I muy have seemed. If this Is a trick of yours, you aren't going to have the chance lo turn it." "Give me a moment," pleaded Saxon. He realized with desperation that every word the otber spoke was true, that he was helpless unless he could bo convincing. "Listen, Rodman," be hurried on, ready to surrender everything else if ho could carry his own point. "For God's sake, listen to me! You trusted me in the Ilrst place. I eould have loft (be boa( at any point, and wired back!" He looked Into tho face of the other man so steadily and with such hypnotic Intensity thai bis own eyes were Ihe strongest argument of truth ho could huve put forward. "You say I hnve distrusted you, Hint I hnvo not admitted my Identity as Carter, I don'l cure u nip for my life. I'm md fighting for ihul now. I have no designs on you or your designs. Lol me put a hypothetical question: Suppose you luul come lo ll polut whore your past life was noljilng more to you thuu tbo life of another man a man you hul oil as your deadliest enemy; suppose you lived In a world Ibut was us different from the old one as though It had never OXlstodi suppose n woman had guided you Into lhat now world, would you, or would you nol, turn your buck oil the old? Suppose you learned as suddenly u« i loarnod, from you, on deck, lhat Dial woman was lu danger, would you, or would you nol, go (o her'."' Men rarely tlnd the most eloquent or convincing words when thoy stand ut sudden crises, but usually men's videos nnd manners al such times can have a force ,.f convincing veracity that means more. Possibly, It may havo been the hypnotic quality of Saxon's eyes, but, whatever It was, Rod- man found it Impossible to disbelieve him when lie spoke in this fashion. In liu- plaza, he bud suddenly turned tlio scutes und bold power of life and death over Rodmnn, and his only emotion hail been Unit of bearl-broken misery, (.'arter bad been, like Rodman himself, lhe Intriguer, bul he had always been trustworthy wilh his friends. He had been violent, bitter, avenging, but never mean in small ways. That had been one of lhe reasons why Rodman, once convinced that the danger of vengeance was ended, had remained almost passionately anxious to prove to the olher thai he himself had not been a traitor, (.'arter bad been tbe Napoleonic adventurer, and Rodman only the pettier type. For Carter, he held a sort of hero-worship. Rodman's mettle's were those of chicane, but rightly or wrongly he believed that he could r°ad the human document. If this other man were telling the truth, and if love of a woman were his real motive, he could be stung into fury with a slur. If that were only a pretext, the olher would not allow his resentment to Imperil his plans- he would repress it, or simulate it awkwardly. "So," he commented .satirically, "it's the good-looking young female that's got you buffaloed, is it? The warrior has been taken into camp by the squaw." The lone held deliberate intent to Insult. Saxon's lips compressed themselves Into a dangerously straight line, and his face whitened to the temples. As he took a step forward, the slighter man quickly stepped bock, and raised a hand with a gesture of explanation. Saxon had evidently told the truth. The revolutionist had satisfied himself, ind his somewhat erratic method of judging results had been to his own mind convincing. And, at thc same moment, Saxon halted. He realized that he stood In a position where questions of life ami death, not his own. were involved. His anger was driving him dangerously close lo action that would send crashing to ruin thc one chance of winning an effective ally. He half-turned with something like a groan. He was called out of his stupor of anxiety by thc voice of tho othor. Rodmnn had been thinking fast. He would take a chance, though not such a great chance as lt would seem. Indeed, in effect, he would be taking the other prisoner. He would In part yield to the request, but In the method lhal occurred to him he would have an ample opportunity of studying tbe other man under conditions which the ot her man would not suspect. He would have Saxon at all times in his power and under bis observation while lie sel traps for blm. If his surmise of sincerity proved false, ho could act al once us he chose, before Saxon would have the opportunity to make a dangerous move. He would seem lo do a tremendously hazardous thing lu the name of friendship, bul all tbe while be would havo the cards stacked.

Ro sides, he had been seriously disappoint ed In not mooting Mirnflores. He bad fell that there might yet be advantages in coming closer to the thentre of the drama tban this vessel going norlh. though he must still remain un der the protection of a foreign flag. "So you arc willing to admit that your proper name Is Mr. Carter?" he demanded, coolly. (To he continued) A8 OF OLD Ry GEORGE WESTON Speaking In a most significant voice, I wish to sny that Mortimer had an appointment that afternoon to take Miss Josephine a spin In Tbc Hornet, his forty-horsc-powcr cnr. And—In a tone thnt fairly drips with unctlon—I will add that Mortimer made thc following mechanical provisions to Insure tbe proper running of Ibe car—viz., he shaved himself for the second time that day, anointed bis heud with an exquisite eau de cologne, delicately dusted his brick-red features with tal- um powder, and changed bis necktie four limes. Thus equipped and accoutred, he climbed Into The Hornet, kicked at the clutch, and madly chug- a-ehug-chugged to the house where Josephine was staying with her aunt. For though Tbe Hornet bad been his only love for eighteen months, Miss Josephine had come between them at last and had weaned his affections away. She came smilingly, trippingly down the steps of her aunt's house—Miss Josephine did—while The Hornet rumbled and buzzed, and Mortimer tenderly helped her into the car and off they rode toward the sylvan solitudes. She was silent because sho was aware of the Impropriety of distracting the driver's attention; utul he was silent because of tiie vasty convolution.*) nf bis thoughts. "1 will usk her," be thought at lusl, drawing an equally vasty breath, "as soon ns wc come to the cross-roads," And whilo they drew near to the spot —appropriately marked us though with ii highway -N he frowned like a gonorul on tho point of uttering uu historic order; but when they cume to tbe fateful plnce his perturbation was such that Tho Hornet nearly run lnio the fence lo sting II, as one might say ami by Ibe time be bad regul I Ibe middle of Ibe road tho slgn-posl ut the Corners wus far behind tbem. lie shot n glance toward the girl by bis side and saw thai sho wus as cool and as pensive us a Minerva modeled in snow. "This," thoughl Mortimer, "Is going lo In- hard." And, being something of ii classical scholar, he added, "Eheu!" nu and ou buzzed The Hornet, Jonl- ously requiring lbo use of both Mortimer's bunds Iti say nothing of his eyes uml bis feet*—for the road was rough wllh ruts, uud, though be had a very particular messago lo deliver to Josephine, he did not wish to impart it while they were catapulting through the air—like shooting-stars—or crashing into u stone wall (like meteors) or anything of that tempestuous sort. "All tho sume." he thought, "1 will usk lier when we come to lhe bridge." They reached the bridge, and while they were rumbling over It Mortimer bit bis tongue and gently said: "Miss Josephine—" Apparently she did not hear him, so pensive was she. Miss Josephine—" he said,, in a louder voice. But still she pensively gazed at the great eternal hills. "Miss Josephine!" ho shouted. Rut while she was turning her bead to look at him The Hornet viciously struck a bunker that nearly sent them skidding into a grand old oak tree which flourished by the side of the road. "This," thought Mortimer—with both bands on the wheel and both eyes on the road—"this is like trying to eat with the hands tied. I would put It off if she wasn't going home tonight. For two cents I would stop the car and ask her, but It looks so crazy." And no generous soul being there to offer him the mere pittance which he mentioned, and having, moreover, a deep-seated prejudice against a reputation for lunacy, they travelled on, and The Hornet hummed pleasantly under its hood and behaved altogether like a car that was having the time of its sportive young life. I'm awfully sorry lhat you're going away, Miss Josephine," said Mortimer. Rut he had to speak in a raucous and unromantlc voice—so that she could hear him—and while he spoke he had to watch the road ahead for boulders. I'm sorry, too," she sold; "I've had a lovely time." Refore you leave—" he began, and then he stopped because a skittish horse attached to a surrey turned suddenly out from one of the side lanes- like a new figure In a nightmare—and reared up and gracefully and com- mandlngly waved its forelegs at The Hornet as though inviting Mortimer to come and join It In thc mazes of a mad, delirious waltz. "What were you going lo say, Mr. Perkins?" asked Miss Josephine, after the Terpsichorean horse had passed them, biped and unapprised. "Oh, yes," said Mortimer--ln a now- or-never voice—"I was going to say that hefore you went back home 1 had a question I wanted—" They were bowling down a steep hill leading to a village below, nnd a giotip of children were also riding down the hill In home-made coasters on wheels. The steepness of the hill and the hazard of the children kept Mortimer so fully occupied in restraining the homicidal possibilities of The Hornet that again he was obliged to leave bis remark unfinished. Rut when he approached the foot of the hill and snw a llvery-stnble sign creaking gently In lhe breeze, an inspiration grand and noble dashed quickly through his comprehending mind. "1 know what I'll do," lie smiled to himself. And when he came to the livery stable Tbo Hornet crawled along more and more slowly and then stop- pod dead In Its Iracks. "Dear me!" oxclalmod Mortimer, In a lone which was meant lo Indicate astonishment, "something is wrong!" He Jumped out, and, lifting lbo hood, he looked so wise that If he had been possessed of a board, a shorl nose, and a different set of features he would have looked amazingly like Socrates, "I'm afraid," he said to Josephine— nnd this time ho wagged his head— "that we shall have to go home ln a buggy." And Just nt that psychological moment (if a moment can ever he called psychological) a loud voice shouted: "Hollo, Mortimer! In trouble, old man?" Mortimer turned around and gazed into tho smiling countenance of Willis Andrews, and the more he gazed the more be hated him. For Willis wus not only the most Irrllatlngly handsome mnn In nil those parts, he was not only a recognized diagnostician regarding the complaints of motor-cars, but ho was also an ardent suitor for the hand of thc pensive Josephine. Wherefore Mortimer hated him with a hatred more bitter than henbane, more enduring than granite nnd steel. They hnd the carburetor apart in loss tlmo than It takes to verify tbo Bpelllng of tlu* word, and Ihon they started after the spark-plug. Ah-im!" cried Willis, with an aggravating accent of superior knowledge and beauty, "bore's the trouble! One of ihe binding-posts is gone!" "Well, well," muttered Mortimer (and be didn't look so very mucli like Socrates then). "Well, well." What a funny name!" exclaimed Miss Josephine, looking down from her place in the car. "What does lt look like, Mr. Andrews?" "It's uboul an inch long," he explained, "nnd as big nround as a lead- penoll," He began looking around in the dust underneath tbe ear, and he only gave up the search—and then with evident rogrcl—when Josephine took ber place in the buggy which Mortimer had hurriedly—almost feverishly—hired. 'Tush the car into the stable!" cried Mortimer to llie breathless liverymen; "pn he back tomorrow, Get up, iJohbin: Good-by, Willis!" The twilight was falling and their homeward way wus toward tho selling sua. lu front of thom Dobbin Jogged peacefully nlu) rhythmically along, With tho comfortable and reassuring appearance of a horse who could jog along peacefully forever. Ho peacefully ice,.inled ||i(, COWS, (lie scenery, the sunset, tin- signs on the trees, ntul yet he bud (between bis ears) a certain wlso und knowlodgable look which is oxtromoly hard to define, ihough it may bOBt be described us one ot discreet expectancy, "Josephine," suid Mortimer, Ills nrm Stealing behind her—as It couldn't, In the cut* "I mount to nsk you before, but I couldn't, in tbo car. How would you like to be Mrs. Perkins?" Slowly uml shyly she nestled ugalnst him—ns she couldn't, In the car, and when—a few moments later—she gave him her hand—to squeeze, I think, an operation quite impossible In the car- the missing binding-post fell coyly Into his palm. "Hello!" cried Mortimer, bending over and looking at it as though it fascinated him, "where did this come from?" lt might have been tbe sunset, or lt might have been that she blushed for herself, or il might have been thnt she only blushed for him. "Wben you were leaning over the machine and threw this behind you,' she said, with great severity of man ner, "you should have looked whore it went. Mortimer." "Where did it go?" he humbly nsked. "It landed ln my lap," she said, more severely than before, "and thinking that you didn't want it—in the car—I hid It in my glove!" TO NICKEL OB SILVER-PLATE IRON BY FRICTION Iron ran be nickeled by tirst producing on it a thin coating of copper by rubbiug over it a solution of 20 parts sulphate of copper in 100 parts of water and 5 parts of sulphuric acid. Then, by means of a rag, rub over it a solution of 6 parts nickel, 3 parts tin, and 1 part iron in 100 parts of hydrochloric acid and 3 parts of sulphuric acid. If finally the object is rubbed over with a rag dipped in tiuely pulverized zinc, nickel will be deposited on the copper. This nickel deposit may be thickened by repeating thc two last-named operations. Silver plating, according to a recent patent, can be effected by dissolving freshly precipitated chloride of silver in a solution of hyposulphite of soda (1,100 parts to 10,000 parts of water), adding to this solution 180 parts of spirits of sal ammoniac and stirring in 800 parts of fine-washed chalk. This mixture is rubbed until it dries, on the article to be silvered, whereby a brilliant deposit of pure silver is obtained. Real silver and gold foils may likewise be prepared by means of the rubbing process, and for this purpose tin foil or opper foil is stuck on to strong paper and the foil rubbed with a mixture of silver or gold eyanate and carbonate of potash. Ry dissolving tbe adhesive, the powder can be again removed. uccessl'ul were these efforts thnt the photographers were encouraged to attempt the making nf n picture of a shell aa it left the gun. There were Immense difficulties to be overcome, nd many pictures were spoiled before a method was evolved that brought (tie desired results. The Ilrst trials were made on the gun carriage with tho recoil mechanism operating tho camera. This was found to be unsuccessful because of certain unevenness of work in thc mechanism necessarily produced In the recoil. Another difficulty mot was in thc blast of the discharge. Finally, after repeated attempts, it was determined to muke the projectile Itself operate tlic camera. Electrical connection was made betwoen tbe camera and tbo bore of the gun so thai tbe series of resulting photographs would show Uie various steps In tho discharge from the time the charge of powder exploded until the projectile Is clear of the gun nnd well on Its wuy lo iis mnrk. The work was done in Uio artillery course of lbo School of Enlisted Specialists under lhe direction or Captain Francis J. Relit*. The apparatus for exposing the negative was placed on Uio sighting platform ami lbo camera began the molting <d' negatives the Instant tho gun wns nred, the exposures being made ut Intervals of 1-2,000 of ii second. So well did the mechanism work that several negatives wore actually mado before ihe projectile bid travelled the length of tho gun uud emerged from the muzzle. The pictures nre regurdeii as highly valuable lo tbe science of artillery, Experiments with mortars were made with the same apparatus wllh equal success. THE HAPPY-DAY CLUB It's easy enough to bo pleasant When life runs on like a song, Rut the man worth while Is the chap who can smile When his note for two-hundred-and fifty dollars falls due on the day after his bills for the plumber, the coal man, and his wife's Easter hnt Come nlong! It's easy enough to be cheery When life's like a lover's chat. But thc mnn who wins Is the fellow who grins When he starts out on a bright spring morning arrayed in his finest regalia, and by noon finds a torrent of April rain, a February snow storm, and a March wind playing hide and seek wilh his brand new Reaver hat! It's easy onough to be jolly When life is a huge mlnce-pie, Rut the mnn for us Is the chap who don't cuss. When he goes off for tbe summer to get a good rest nnd finds he has to pay seven hall boys, two head waiters. three waitresses, six porters, eight Chambermaids, and fourteen assorted but unelassHled tlp-cbnsers twenty- five cents a dny apiece or suffer the ley eyo! H's easy onough lo bo jocund When life's like a garden of roses, Rut the chap wo prize Holds a smile in his eyes When a coy old maid of thirty-nine summers nnd forly-elght wlntera. with peroxide locks nnd a complexion fresh every hour, having the ways of a kitten and the tempor of Its mother, gets him off In a corner on a dark Leap-year night And proposes! CANNON 8HOT PHOTOGRAPHED Photographers create much amusement with photographs they make of themselves In various attitudes, but It has remained for tho experts of the United Stntes army to train 12-inch projectiles from the heavy const-defence guns to moke pictures of themselves as they go through the atmosphere so fast the ordinary eye can hardly trace thoir flight. Experiments of various sorts have been made In the army with a view to photographing the flight of Bhots from the heavy guns. Those were begun to secure records of tbe splashes made by the shots falling into the water. So THE CAU8E OF EARTHQUAKES Until very recently all earthquake shocks were attributed to volcanic manifestations. Rut often the earth is agitated In regions where there are no volcanoes. Hence the belief has arisen thnt earthquakes may arise independently of volcanic action. Very often, again, when volcanoes are in eruption there nre no earthquakes. Subterranean cave-Ins are often the cause of earthquakes; they are the consequences of the action of subterranean water. When water runs through limestone it carves out grottoes and terraces or galleries. When in its underground run it comes in contact with gypsum or rock-salt It dissolves these substances and thus vacuums are formed in the depths of the earth. When the water has worn the earth thin the earth gives way and regions above it. In well-worked coal mines great hollows are made whlcb produco similar results. Thc layers forming lhe solid envelope of the earth ure neither homogeneous nor regularly distributed. Limestone hits granite nnd relatively recent rocks overlie ancient masses. Limestone and schist He together like folded cloth; layers of the sume age are separated by abrupt gaps and breaks nnd by the debris cast out either side. The crust of the earth has been compared to mnrouetry composed of many parts which must have been joined, broken and joined again many times. Its component parts are unstable, their movements are still In progress; they shift and possibly thoir sudden shifting causes the upper crust to tremble. The best evidence in favor of this explanation is that the great earthquakes have devastated countries where tho geological layers show traces of cave-ins and slips, ln Japan an earthquake raised the ground about twenty- one feet and the rise ran for a distance of 112 kilometers. An earthquake in Alaska, occurring in 1899, raised the coaat for a long distance. Earthquakes are limited to two zones; one embraces Himalaya, Asia Minor, thc coasts of the Adriatic, Italy, the Alps, the Pyrenees, Algeria, Andalusia, and southern Portugal; the other zone comprises the two coasts of the Pacific ocean. The majorily of earthquakes have been produced in the first zone. Tho current thnt has transferred lis energy lo llie wing and has been deflected downward, may be termed spent current and Is henceforth not only use- Lss'but obstructive through lis power to neutralize the reflective force of the sub-layers of tbe current that otherwise would reflect from the lower and rear- wan1, portion of a wider wing. The albatross cuts a wide swath, for he hns no occasion to economize space und disdains to deal with any of the second and third grades of supportive deflection that birds of wider wing pattern ure required to use. As an instance of the marvellous efficiency of this specialized bird, the following Is worthy of credence. Over a sea that shows no indications of wind he will follow a steamship steaming 12 knots a u hour. Poised over the steamer's quarter without visible movement to bis wings, *to. will remain there for hours with no imaginable support but the force of the uprush of air displaced by the progress of Iho ship. HELP FOR THE TURK I'he Italian commanders In Tripoli nre gravely troubled by the determination <>f the SenUBSl Arabs to join In the fun. The Senusst huve never been favorites in Constantinople, nnd there* fore hnvo fell under no obligations to flght for the Turk, but as the conflict bus now become a religions one they nro gradually joining tho fray, and tbelr help mentis muoh. Tbeir number exceeds 1(10,000 well armed and well mounted warriors, and they are said to possess $10,000,000 in cash reserved for tbo great day Of the Jehad or Holy- War. Tbo religion of the Senussi is a sort of mystical Mohammedanism, but those who know them well say that they are Freemasons with a constitution, rites, and ceremonies identical with those of the western fraternity. The main body of the Senussi live tn the heart of the Libyan desert, where they are said to have built a great white elty and to have stored a vast collection of war material in readine.s for the day that every Mohammedan believes will come when the green flag will float triumphant over the world. WAR WITH LIGHT HEART With some surprise we learn that Emile Olllvler, the famous minister of Napoleon III. Is still alive. Perhaps it was as well that there should be no speedy reunion between Olltvier aad his Imperial master In that section of the elyslan fields reserved for emperors and their ministers. Ther-i might have been recriminations There might have been "words." for It was Olllvler wbo persuaded Napoleon Into the Franco-Prussian War and wliu da- dared in the French parliament that "it is with a light heart that I assume full responsibility.'' He was known henceforlh as "the man with the ligh*- heart," and it seems that he haa itill i light heart, for he emerges from thu retirement on the Rlvtera With the assurance that there will be no Eur-ipean war this year, that rumors to the .on- trary are an absurdity. One would suppose that the man who entered into the Franco-Prussian war with a llghr heart would have emerged from it with a heart permanently heavy, but Olllvler under the weight of his eighty-sev»n yenrs and his memories is as debonair as ever. SEAFARING RACES The portraits of Capt. Amundsen show a certain likeness to Dr. Nansen. Roth have In a marked degree the long narrow skull of the Vikings. It is a curious circumstance that the seafaring races, whether on the Raltie or on iho Mediterranean, have this type of head, while the Inlanders of Europe are predominantly of lhe broad headed Alpine sort. Rut lt will hardly do to make long headedness thc cause of seamanship, is some enthusiasts have done, for the Japanese, who are roundheahed, take eadlly (o (he sea. THE ALBATROS8 AND THE GULL Thc gull has approximately 3 square feet of surface and the albatross 134 square feet. The mass of a body Increases us the cube of the dinmeter, while the surface only as the square. The advuntage this gives the larger bird Is lhat whereas tho gull has only tbc Inerlta of material to the weight of 13 ounces to tho square foot of surface with which to combat tbc clinging tendency of the air, nnd Its resistance to displacement, thc albatross has 19 OUneei to the square foot. Putting It differently, suppose tbe auli-frlctlnnal refinement of the Iwo birds to be equal, the wind has t ut ITI.! the power to retard the progress of the albatross thnt It has lo hinder the gull. This but roughly nppmxlmntcs tho truth but ts sullicient, especially as a correct rendering of values Is ns yet impossible. There are, however, other features tbat differentiate tho gulls from tho true soarers. Tho wing length of th gull bul little exceeds the length of tho body—In flying attitude—but it is suf fieiently long to tnx the bird's endur once whon the weather Is calm and his own muscular effort needed to keep them In constnnt motion. The wing of the albatross Is nearly double thc length of his body, while the average width of the wings Is but slightly greater tban thnt of the gull. As might be expected, the nlbntross docs little flapping at any time. Tho dilTehenee ln the proportions of these two birds signifies a proportional efficiency In obtaining deflective support from the wind. When wings are comparatively flat, like those of the two birds under comparison, that portion of their area having the greatest reflective efficiency ts continuous to tbe forward edge. THE WORLD'S CALENDARS Of the many calendars used in ill times and in all countries the four now mainly In use are the Gregorian. .Julian. Mussulman, and Chinese calendars. The Gregorian or new style is the erne used by all Christian nations ex.-ept the Slavs. The Gregorian calendar dotal from the year 1582. Before that time all Christianity used the Julian -:alen- dar, which is based on a year of ',*•■'■. days, though the mean value of rhe ostronomicnl year is only MB days. Av% hours, forty-eight minutes, ami forty- six seconds—a slight difference •vhich amounts to one entire day in IU resn The civil year of the Julian calendar was too long; its beginning incessantly retarded the beginning of the solar year: and nt the end of the sixteenth century the calendar was ten days ahead. Pope Gregory XIII ord'-red the day following, October r>, 15S2. to be called October TS. 1582. Having rid the calendar of the drag of ten days, the Pope created leap year every fourth year. Then calculating thnt this would result in a drag of three duys every four hundredth year. It was decided to suppress the extr i-ia;' in the Inst year of each century, unless the century year was exactly divisible by 400. Thus the years 1700, MOO, ind IflOO were not teap years, but th*» fetf 2000 wilt be one. The Julian calendar (old style) was used all over Europe until the reform in the year 15*>_. The present form of the Mussulman calendar dates from the first year of the Heglra, which began the sixteenth day of July in the year 622 A.D. In the Mussulman calendar the months follow the course of the moon nnd .ir*1 of twenty-nine or thirty days; th*'- years are alwnys composed of twelve months nnd number 3r,4 or 850 .lavs So the Mussulman your Is n purely lunar rear; and from one year to another It begins either ten or eleven days earlier In (he solar year. Naturally enough, the lunar calendar does not correspond with tho division of the seasons ind tbo religious feasts, notably Ramadan- bo Mussulman Lent- -come nt different times In tbe year, The Chinese calendar Is both lunar nnd solar. The Chinese year ordinarily comprises twelve months, but sometimes n thirteenth Is slipped Into the year to establish something like hnr- mony botween tho movements of the moon nnd the movements of the sun. Tho common years contain either IM or 3","> days; and the "full" years, the yonrs of thirteen months, contain 3M days, Complex astronomical calculations wore made by the ancient students of the stars, the men who established (he Chinese calendar. The civil dny begins nt midnight, it is divided Into twelve equal parts, nnd tho days have no special names. Lunar tables and solar tables nro required In making B Chinese onlendnr. because the movements of the planets nre calculated. The results of the calculations mnde with tbo astronnmlcnl tables then known were published in 1144 by the Trlhunnl of Mnthomntlcs of Peking for a period beelnnlag In LOU nnd ending In 2021. That publication, known under tho nnmo of Wan-Nien-Chow, Is the basis ef lhe entendnrs presented every yenr to tbo Emperor nml published throughout Chinn. 144 FREE PRESS, CHILLIWACK, BRITISH COLUMBIA. 1 j A Special Sale of Men's Tailor- j Made Suits I Our stock of Suitings is much too large and we are forced to reduce it before our Fall Stock arrives.
