Tin* lips thai had parted iii a casual smile hardened rigidly, nnd lhe eyes that rested mi lhe face of Steele's celebrity were so Intently focused that they almost stared. The byplay occupied only a moment, and, iis Ribero had half-turned Hum th" table to greet those entering al his back, il escaped the notice of everyone except Saxon himself. The newcomer felt the momentary bar of hostility that had boon thrown between them and as quickly withdrawn. The nexl moment, he was shaking tlio extended hand, and bearing the common- "Much pleased, setmr." Ribero felt a momentary Mash of shame for lhe betrayal of such undiplomatic surprise, and made amends willi added courtesy when he spoke, 'I'he artist, dropping into his seat al lie* side of Miss Pllson. felt a flush of pleasure al his position, For iin instant, the other man's conduct became i iter of negligible Importnnco, ami wben she turned to him with a friendly nod aud smile.

The diplomat had forgottoil what bo had been saying. He was covortly studying tlie features of lhe man Just beyond Miss Kilsou. The face was turned toward the girl, giving him a full view, and ll was a steady, Imperturbable face. Now, introduced as raconteur, he realized that In* must say something, and al Hie moment, wilh a Hash of inspiration, be determined to relate a hit of history lhat would 1 f Interest at least to llm narrator, ll was not at all Ihe story he might have told had he been uninterrupted, hut ll was a story that appealed to his diplomatic taste, because he could watch the other face as he told it and see what Ihe other face might betray. This newcomer had jarred him from his usual poise. Now, he fancied it was the other's lurn to be startled. "It was," he said casually, "the narrowest escape from death that I hav*1 seen- and the man who escaped was an American." As Saxon raised his eyes, with polite interest, to those of the speaker, he became aware that tliey held for him a message of almost sardonic challenge. He felt Ihat the story-teller was only ostensibly addressing the table; that the man was talking at lum. as a prosecutor talks at the defendant ihough be may direct himself to the jury. Tho sense that brought this realization was perhaps telepathic. To the other eyes and ears, there were only the manner of Hie raconteur and tlie impersonal lone of generality. "It occurred at Puerto Frio," said tbe South American, reminiscent Iy. He paused for a moment, ami smiled at Saxon, as though expecting a sign of confusion upon the mention of tbe name, but be mad only courteous In- Interest and Impenetrability, "This countryman of yours," lie went on smoothly, his Knglish touched and softened by the accent of tlie foreigner, "bad indulged in Hie dangerous, though it would seem alluring, pastime of promoting a revolution, Despite liis unscrupulous character, he was possessed of an engaging personality, and, on brief acquaintance, I, for one, liked him.

The painter became suddenly conscious Hint he was according an engrossed attention, and that liu1 storyteller was narrowly watching Ids lingers as (hey twisted the stem of his Bauterne glass. The lingers became at once motionless. "He bore himself so undeniably well when he went out to ills place against a blank wall lu lhe plaza, escorted by the firing squad." proceeded Senor Ribero evenly, "tbat one could not withhold admiration, The picture remains with me. Thc sun on the yellow cathedral wall ... a vine heavy wllh scarb-t blossoms like splashes of blood . . . and twenty paces away tlie firing squad with Ihelr .Mausers." Onco more, the speaker broke off, us though lost lu retrospection of something well-remembered. Beyond the girl's absorbed gaze, he saw that of the painter, and bis dark eyes for an Instant glittered wiih something like direct accusation, "As thoy arranged lhe final details, he must have reflected somo whn I grimly on the Irony of things, for al that very moment he could hear the staccato popping of the guns be bad smuggled past (he vigilance of the customs.

"He was tall, athletic, gray-eyed." announced lho attache irrelevantly: "in his eyes dwelt something of the spirit of (he dreamer. He never faltered." Tbe speaker lifted ills sauferne glass lo bis lips, and sipped the wine deliberately.

Then, a half-whlmslcal smile crossed Hlbero's somewhat saturnine features, for .Miss Pllson hud dropped her napkin on Saxon's side, and, when the painter had stooped to recover it, he did nol again replace lhe hand on the table. "Before ho could !»■ fired on a second time," concluded th*' diplomat with a Bhrug, "a new proBldonlc was on his way to ihe palace, Vour countryman was saved." if th.* her., of Rlbero's narrative was a malefactor, at least he was a male factor with the sympathy of Mr, Boll- lon'B dlnnor-party, as was attested by n distinctly audible sigh nf rollof at the end nf tbo story.

As he finished, llie speaker was holding Saxon wltb Ills eyes, and had a question iu his glance that seemed to call for some expression from tlie other. Saxon bowed with a smile. "It is an engrossing story." "J think." said Duska suddenly, almosl critically, "the Ilrst part was so good that it was a pity t<> spoil ii with lhe rest." Senor Ribero smiled enigmatically into liis wine-glass. "I fear, senorila. that Is thc sad difference between fiction aud history. My tale is a true one." "At all events," continued the girl with vigor, "he was a bravo man. That is enough to remember. I think it 18 heller to forget the rest." it seemed to Ribero that the glance Saxon flashed on ber was almost the glance of gratitude, "Whal was his name?" she suddenly demanded. "He called himself—at that time— George Carter," Ribero said slowly, "but gentlemen In the unrecognized pursuits quite frequently have occasion tb change their names. Now, it is probably something else," After tlic dinner had ended, while the guests* fell into groups or waited for belated carriages, Saxon found himself standing apart, near lhe window. It was open on the balcony, and tlie man felt a sudden wish for lhe quiet freshness of tlle outer air on his forehead.

(To >«' continued) THE COSSACK'S CRADLE Wherever Russia has a tight on hand (here bobs up promptly lo do her bidding lhe Cossack. This right arm of llie Tsar lias not tlie best of reputations. Illustrated papers picture him a savage scarecrow mounted on a wiry-looking animal, and bis chief occupation is apparently the knifing and knouting of harmless people. Yet lie comes of good stock, Once upon a lime there drifted into southwest Russia a tribe of runaways who called themselves "KossaUi." which Is Tartar for free men. free warriors, or guardians. Seemingly they lived up to (he name. They protected from the Tartars the peoples in Hie countries whicli Ibey originally bad fled from and saved thousands of Russian womon and children from slavery in Turkey, Growing in numbers and Importance, these self-appulnled guardian angels beanie everywhere feared and respected.

Th*' tribe had gradually resolved Itself Into two classes the village Kossakl, who lived In tbelr own settlements all over Southern Russia, antl the inhabitants of the "Batch beyond (be Rapids,' The former bad tbe advantage over other country folk, as neighboring govornmonts were too afraid to tax tbem. lietween wars, to which the call came from the Seteh, the village Kossuki tilled the land. Of an altogether different character was the organization of this So tell, a community of about twelve thousand men witli permanent headquarters in a movable settlement (the exact location was changed eight times in two centuries), usually on an unapproachable Island on the lower course of (he Dnelpor. Tin- TurkB once tried to rush Hie place, bul gol caught In the iniiKe of islands like rats In a trap; The Seteh lu one respect resembled a monastery. No woman was allowed Inside It. A man might nol even bring his nmlher or his sisler. If he did in* was hanged, Here, eager to lead the fr md simple life among their equals, came all sorts and conditions of men. Indeed, owing to the law enjoining celibacy, flu* colony depended for its numbers on newcomers, although tlie village Kossuki contributed recruits. Any one could Join, as rank and riches were despised, and nil ha had to do was to submit to laws aa follows: chastity, the orthodox creed, allegiance to Russia anil the south Itusslan dialect. No reference or inconvenient, questions of his past were asked of the Intending Kosaak, lie simply weiil to the elected chief and, after a brief greeting, was shown to his place in one of the "kureni." or hlg huts. "Here is thy home, three paces long nnd two paces wide; and When thou shall die we will make it smaller." They had good times, though, in the Setch, There were no manomivers, no organized training, no compulsory drill. Men lay or slept in thc leveled spaces between huts, enjoying, gipsy fashion. Ihr* freedom of the open air. Drink was plentiful, and also tobacco. Great songs were sung and Ibere was much playing on stringed Instruments. Throughoul the place a spirit of good comradeship prevailed. a popular pastime was dancing, no easy task in cumbersome high boots. Costumes Were of a piet lll*esi|lie Variety.

Finally the Kossakl lauds were confiscated, and Hie tribe and its Institutions gave place lo serfdom and ihe creation of a new nobility. The Cossack of today Inherits little of tlie old traditions, but the name and the whip. CROW COURTS There are Instances on record tn which jackdaws, rooks, and crows have heen seen to hold what might lie called a formal court for the trial and punishment of offenders. in other words, these creatures have something like a regular system of "public justice." In the northern parts of Scotland and in ibe Faroe islands extraordinary meetings of crows arc occasionally known to occur. They colled In great numbers, as if they had all been summoned for tbe occasion. A tew of the Mock sit With drooping beads and others seem as grave as judges, while others again are exceedingly active and noisy. In the course of about an hour they disperse, and it is nol uncommon, after they have flown away, to find one or two dead ones. These meetings will sometimes continue for a day or two before their object, whatever it may be, is accomplished. Crows continue to arrive from all quarters during the session. As soon as they have all arrived a very general racket ensues and shortly after the whole fall upon one or two individuals and put them to death. When thc execution has been performed they quietly disperse. An army officer In India relates tbnt while sitting on a veranda bo snw three or four crows come antl perch upon a neighboring house. Soon a gathering from all quarters occurred until thc roof of the goard-houso was blackened witb tbem. Thereupon a prodigious clatter ensued. It was plain that a palaver was going forward, some or its participants, more eager than others, skipping about most energetically. Tho officer became much Interested and nnr- rowly watched the proceedings, all within a dozen ynrds of him. After much cawing and clamor. Hie whole groups suddenly rose Into the ulr and circled round half a dozen of Ihelr fellows, one of whom had clearly been told olT for punishment, for the five repeatedly attacked it in quick succession, allowing no opportunity for it to escape, which ll was trying to do, until Uuy had cast It fluttering to the ground. The oillcer rushed forward to pick up the bird, lie succeeded only In touching R, for it wriggled away from bis grasp ami flew, greatly crippled and close to the ground, into some bushes, where he lost sight of It. All the otber crows, after circling round the officer and chattering in anger, as be thought, flew away, on his resuming bis scat. In the direction taken by their victim. SHOEINC HORSES Certain naturalists have ventured (he opinion tbat horses do not need shoeing under any circumstances, Tills ins reasonable when we reflect that it Is only within n few centuries that the praelicc or shoeing bus lieen followed.

A TRACK-LAYING RECORD It Is to th** American engineer and contractor that the world is indebted for its first lessons in rapid construction of railroads, ami particularly in rapid track laying.

Junior United Service Club, London. March _.Uh. 1912. CHEMISTRY AND PERFUMES The p.-rfume Industry dates from the early days nf the world. Perfume- makers used tu extract their odors from plants, flowers, and fruits without altering the essences. The business nf the manufacturer began and ended there and his art was limited to skilfully commingling the different extracts sn as to obtain perfumes. Wilh the progress of chemistry it became possible lo make synthetic perfumes. The must important synthetic discoveries have been made within the last thirty-five years. In 1N76 the synthesis of the active principle of vanilla was made. A few years later heliotru- plno was obtained by the- oxidization of a by-product—a species of camphor waste. Terplneol, or terplnol. Is one of tlu* essential constituents of many perfumes; lilac, ltly-of-the-valley, sy- rlriga, Cape jessamine, etc Speaking chemically, it is a near relation uf the essence of turpentine; one molecule uf essence of turpentine added to one molecule nf water gives terplneol. Porftime-manufacturers use different means of producing terplneol. Among the different patented processes are treatments with sulphuric, azotic and cllrlC adds. If a chemist has essence of turpentine, a little oil ami ma fortls ho can produce a delightful perfume closely Similar tn that ex- halod by tbe llly-of-the-valley, lilac, nnd Cnpo Jessamine, the porfumos varyiuir according lo ibe proportions of ihe chemical usod, Artificial violet has been In lhe market fifteen years. It is made by condensing cltrol (nn assent xtracted fmm lemon 1, Indian veivalne. nr lemon verbena, wllh common acetone, a body much like pyrolIgneous add. Synthetic violet extract is manufactured in largo quantities and sold pure or mixed With the true essence uf ViOlet, Sn far tin chemist has succeeded In counterfeiting musk; bul perfume-manii- faoturors produce bodies whieh. though very different from musk chemically, hold the powerful scent nr musk, The basis of this counterfeit Is toluene, which Is* obtained from benzine and coal-tar. It Is changed tu a somewhat COmploX carburet which is subjected to tin- action nf exotic and sulphuric adds. The pmduet thus nbtalned, diluted with Inert matters, Is sold under the name of musk. The list of synthetic perfumes Is long, They Imitate all the known perfumes; but despite the efforts to Imitate exactly, they are nearly alwnys Inferior to thc true essences. Many perfumers boast thai they use nothing hut true essences, hul nearly all tlo* cheaper perfumes nlve hints nf synthesis. t) oo Drops A\'c6clablEPrcparationfor Assimilating ihcTood and Reg ula- ling Hie Slonu-hs anil Dowels of iNlANl*-, .■'.(.IIRDRBN I'foiiiotes'Digeslion.Cl'scerful- ncss and Ilcst.Contains ncilhcr Opium,Morpls.nc nor Mineral.

CENSORIOUS CENSOR Th.' dramatic censur is once more in the exact centre nf the English stage, and with the relentless limelight turned full Upon him. His name Is Mr. Charles Brookfield, and once upon a time In his Kiddy and Irresponsible youth he wrote a play which was said J by a committee of maiden aunts to be ! improper. That play Is now lu bo revived, but Mr. Urooklleld eau do nothing In the matter, since It Is uuw beyond his jurisdiction, while tu make I matters worse lie Is nut allowed by his official position to reap any benefit • frum a dramatic performance. All he can do i.s tu write Indignant letters tn jthe newspapers protesting against the demoralization <>f the stage as exem- ! pulled by his own play. Another cruel | juke upun the censor has been played by Lawrence Cohen, whose one-act play was refused a license. .Mr. Cohen i changed the name of the play, made one or twu insi*i,rnilb-ant alterations in the cast and submitted It once more to I the censor, who promptly passed it. Now Mr. Cohen makes known the fads •and delicately draws attention to the j new name of his play, which is "Quits." j A play by Sir William Gilbert was once compelled tn pass under the har- row. I'r. Butler, when head master of j Harrow, made It a rule lhat all pieces | In be acted within the schnlasllc corral must be submitted to him fnr approval. Among them was "The Palace nf Truth," wherein the hero says to th.- heroine, "Meet nie outside the garden j.rate at nine o'clock tonight." Dr. Butler's censorial pen erased thi vrorda "at nine o'clock tonight" .ind substituted "at three o'clock thi** aft-r- noon." The later hour was - considered tun suggestive tot youthful mind.

Tlie proposed purchase differs from n loan for street improvement or oilier like propose, (which is a gnnd Investment, and whicli brings full returns indirectly,) ill that il mortgages thc credit of tlie City until the system pays for itself ill real money frnin its earnings ns n going business concern, The agreement with the Company expires iu a yenr or two hence,tl iiupnn.v hns tin' oxolusivc franchise of thc valley, tho system is yearly Incoming more indispensable and profitable, so that nl tliat time lhe city will have lobo pleased ts. accept such terms as the Company may dictate, and which major may uot be thoughl exorbitant. It is n certainty that rates will not be less than al present. Even now the price charged the cily for water and hydrants really prohibits adequate (ire protection liceausc of the fact thai hydrants nie sn widely separated. The Free Press is lirmly of the opinion thnt such n necessity ns the water supply should lie owned nnd controlled by the people, who are dependent ii]xin it. The priee and terms of purchase cannot be expected to lie as favorable at any future period us they are at this juncture. The purchase of the system looks like a sound nnd wise move on thc part of the City, and a move we hope to see supported strongly at tlie polls on Friday June 2>S. The scheme of financing the deal is to mortgage the system for (110,000 and raise by !

Is the kind of animal that will stand most work this spring. Tin* in.in who succeeds in breeding draft horses must ever keep iu mind six.-, quality, feet, legs and action. These an- all utility points. The markets demand horses weighing 1,700 pounds and upwards, tbat have good body conformation, large feet of good texture, strung, clean bone; large, sound joints, heavy muscular development, combined wiih g l straight snappy action. Such bursts command high prices, and are very scarce. The statistics for the year toil show thut only one horse out of every twenty sold at uur leading horse markets filled the hill. This is surely a gnnd line of work to pursue for many years to come. The vast majority of our farmers mako a serious mistake when they sell their guod draft males to go to the cities. A goml draft marc is worth twice us much on any farm, if she is used for work and breeding purposes, as she will sell for in any horse market, nnly in.ires of good weight, body conformation, and absolutely sound, should l.e retained for breeding pur- puses. It is very Important that the stallion used should he sound, drafty, stand well on his feet and legs, short and straight in his back, heavily muscled, and show good disposition, us Indicated by width and flatness of head hetwecn the eyes. Avoid unsound. small-footed, light-boned, crooked-legged or shallow-bodied stallions. • • • Mr. Herbert Smith.

"Don't tulk back to me!" he commanded loudly. "All right sir." Angered almost to rage at Little Ma lime's demeanor.

Malone's words, "As soon as It gels dark," he declared, "I'm going out and form a ono- iii Iposl In u pnlm-troo. It's ihe only way I can think of lo save tbls fool company. Then maybe 1 can redeem mysolf!" "H's nol In line with orders," objected lllg Malone, frowning al the thought of a mnn losing a whoio night's sleep bocauso of a sen ro* story, "l wouldn't do it." "Hut I will, jusi the same." "You're under arrest In quarters." Lime Malone swore under his breath, "Lei tliat go, H's nothing to you. I'll lake Ihe consequences. I'm going to gel up in a palm and watch, Tbo moon will he up soon, ami maybe I can spoi thom before Ihey get to yuu fellows." "Don't do it, hoy," growled iti:; Malone; "you need rest." Again Little .Malone .swore under his breath. Even Ihls man believed it was a scare-story. "Hut," be asked anxiously, "you von't tell I've gone, will you," "No." "I'm much obliged lo you," said Little Malone. "Anl I've got a notion lhat you. and tho company lo a man, will lie much obliged to me beforo /ou ueo daylight again." "I wouldn't mhid being oblivd to ynu," returned the big man. "I always did believe In you, boy—except, I'm afraid you are a little too y.UUg to Judge hetween natives and soldiers," "If you believe In nie," Little .Malone shot hack, "why don't you give me a fair deal about tbls? Why don't you sneak to Captain Blflnch und tell him whnt 1 claim to have seen".'" "Bailor would find it out, and he'd never forget it. You see. I'm in line for a corporal's place, son." "Corporal's place!" Little Malone snorted. "You'ro not fit for It. It's a pity you ure not us big inside is you are outside. You remind me of a goose-neck gourd witli the inside; dried up. You lack insldes. You've been better to me than anybody else la the company; still you lack insldes You nnil everybody in the whole out lit thinks I'm a sneak, hut hefore daylight I'm going to show you a little different. I'm going to show you tbat Little Malone, from Frankfort, Kentucky, has got Insldes in html Then maybe I'll tell about the orders I bad before I had orders to charge at San Muteo—the ranking orders, you know. Uood- nlghtl" As Big Malone turned over, composing himself for sleep. Little Malone Watching 'ne guard closely, cript from the shelter-tent. Making no sound, he crawled on his hands and knees slowly, carefully, drugging his rifle by the muzzle, through the grass tliat reached to his eyes, and after five minutes was a hundred feet from the neatest sentry. Then he rose and skulked olT like a thief in tbe gloom of the grove of palms. He went a quarter of u mile iu the direction in which stood the thickets thut concealed the men of Luk Ban. There lie laboriously climbed a tall but leaning palm. His rifle he was forced to leave on the ground. Au hour passed, and tlie only sounds that broke the stillness of the tropical night were the gentle swish of the slender leaves uoout him as they swayed in the breeze of the near-by sea, the occasional chirp of a night- bird, aud. now and then, the guttural wak-wak of u dying marsh heron. Slowly the moon rose over tbe hill at whose base Litlle Malom* had seen the ribbon ot bolo-men creeping. He knew, did .Malolie, that the attack would come shortly, as the moon at its zenith or near to it, would make great the danger nf lieing seen. So Litlle Malolie hegnn to watch more keenly, looking for and expecting every second the two hundred figures in dirty-while Ue knew Ihey would come creeping;, stooping, dodging from lice lo lice, their long, hacking knives rcaily for the work of dealing out a ter- tlole death to men who slepl and dreamed with childlike smiles of home nnd violets and forget-me-nots uml moonlight on pIono*keys and golden hair un i gray, Several palm tops were In the way; he swum*, oulwurd, now to bis right now lo his left trying to see. And so -"iiiOther hour passed, und the yellow, hanging moon rose higher in tbe pale, silent sky, aud siill Little Malone watched keenly. lie knew they would come. And they did. Cautiously they came, and slowly, rooplnj, oreoptngi making no more noise than so many dirty-white spirits, yet advancing as the turn of the earth on lis axis. Ono on the ground could not huve seen ihem until tbey were Within a few yards of hhn. Wltb i\ smile that was grim. Little Malone begun tu descend. He locked thin, weary legs about the slim, gray trunk and slid quickly to the ground. Bvldently the bolo*>mon did nut see him. Tben, bending low, he run buck toward the camp of the sleeping com* puny. The guard halted him drowsily; be rushed hy him and went to the head of Sergeant llallor's tent, raising thc (lap as he went to bis knooH. And In one hand he held a keeii-hlnded penknife. •'Sergeuiil." He shook llie sleeping officer. "Sergeant! For God's sake listen! I'm Llttlo Malono— l'vo been on watch- the Insurgents will bo here In live more minutes! Sergeant, lor God's sake Bailor was awako, lie looked with blinking, unbollovlng oyos at the slender figure that knelt ou the uruss In lhe moonlight hul a yard away. "1 told you you were under arrest In qunr " With a movenieiii as if to open his shirt nl tho throat, Little Malono slashed his penknife aemss his breast. A match was ready In lhe olher hand. "Look ut [.[iis!" he cried lowly, trembling, as the feeble blaze flared up. "I encountered one of lho spies just as 1 saw lhe main body " The sight of blood Jarred on Bailor's nerves, und convinced hhn. Every mun was awakened, Quickly they loft tlio lillle row of tents and took places, knoollng in the shadows of llie palms, rifles loaded and ready. "Not a Mhut until tbey begin hacking at the tents!" cried Captain Killmh. ll wus for Ihul reason thai he had stationed bis men behind the line of canvas houses. The Filipinos would lie lu a body and behind nothing, Liiile Malone knell beside his commanding officer. "Now, you Jusi watch Ihem jump on those tcnls!" he whispered, happily disregarding lhe trickling of blood down his chas! to his hell, "And while you're watching ihem, think bow they'll havo done ior us if we were iu ihe tontsl" Litlle Malone's hoarl hud gone to Ids head, lie wuh going to prove himself. Ue wus going lo dghl. Two minutes passed, aud the silence hecame intense. It was Ibe stillness Ihul cnmcH before a terrific peal nf Ihumler, before a hurricane, whon the heaveiiH arc black as the Pit. Another minute cume unit went, uud litlle Malone thought he hoard the crush of grass under human feet. And suddenly—like ono man with two hundred arms—two hundred bolos flashed In the rays of the moon, and lhe fifty tents went to the earth hacked and torn lo shreds and threads-and strings. "Fire!" hollowed Captain Blflnch, leading th** fusllade with his automatic pistol. A hundred rifles spat forth slender blaZOS und lead encased lu pointed jackets of steel, and, hefore the Filipinos realized what had happened, they had fired again. Yet again thoy fired, and the bolo-men left alive threw themselves face downward on the ground and cried for mercy In the name of the Virgin. They were beaten. Five minutes more saw the surviving soldiers of the attacking party huddled In a group wlillo a cordon of Americans held guard over tbem. Then a fire was lighted. Hut tlie commanding officer failed to find the youth wbo had saved the lives of the whole company, His face turned gray and hard, though his lips twitched at the corners and his eyes grew moist. Whnt hnd become of Little Malone? "Where Is Little Malone?" he asked huskily. The first sergeant echoed it. Those not doing duty guarding tlie prisoners began B search for the soldier whom tbey had called a poltroon, speaking his name pitifully, sorry, their hearts filled with regret. They tore down the strings of tents, jerked dead bolo-men over. None had seen blm since tb • firing of the first volley. They found him lying among tbc dead, A bplo had fallen on his right bSmple, but his bayonet was red In tbe heart of thc Filipino commander, a captain. Ills rifle was empty. Ho had left the line hehind the trees rath er than waste time in reloading, risk Ing 'he Indicts of his comrades, to fight hand lo hand with his bayonet to prove that he was not a cowurd. They curried htm to the fire. He was only unconscious from tbe blow on his head. Pig Malone brought u canteen of wuter, which he applied, while Captain Blflnch himself began to bind up the wound made hy tbo bolo. And Big Malone stammerlngly told all thnt he knew about Little .Mulone, despite (he presence of the tlrst sergeant und his hopes of a corporalshlp. Then Litlle Malone made a grlma Opened ids gray eyes and snt up. "A litlle caress on the knot," wns his comment, when he bad felt of the bandage, "Hid I get my man'.'" "You got your man,' answered the commanding officer, us lie applied a strip of adhesive plaster to lhe young soldier's breast. "By the way. how did you get this slit withoui getting yuur shirt cut?" "I had to do It to impress Sergennl Uullor." said Litlle Mulone fearlessly. "I npologlze for tbe lie, sergeant Whnt are you looking so solemn about you fellows? Are you much Obliged? You see I heanl Itig Malone telling about my prophecy." "We certnInly are inuch obliged!" said a dozen voices. And most sincere nf ail, perhaps, was that of Captain Blflnch, "And we, us one mun, apologize." finished the captain, "Accepted," grunted Little Malono "itui it's not rlghl for an officer ti apologize to u private, is it?" "It may not be according to custom," Captain Ktllneh returned, "but It's right lu Ibis cuse. My boy. I'm going tn give you something to help me express my appreciation, it's ail I've goi that's half good onotlgh for you. Uud bb-ss It It and you otic the spirit of the olher." II. pulled from his blOUSO a small, silken American flag. Little Malone look ii in bis blood-stained hands,looked at it through oyos that opened uml shut In quick succession for a moment, then huwed bis head and sobbed. "Yes. hloss II. My folks all fell under the other one hut I lovo this Just the same. They would too, If tbey wore nllvol" Captain Blflnch wus a very human person. He closed his mouth tightly, so tightly Hint It quivered, trying to keep a grip nn bis feelings. He crept u foot nearer the wounded man to Whom Company It owed life and breath and hopes of seeing home aea in, and look tho trembling, bloody bund that held tin* diminutive Iluc. And then, "Hon, you hnd a reason for mruing buck at San Muteo. a reason you'vo never told. 1 want you to lell us why you turned buck from the lop of the trench at Kan Mateo." Lillle Malono looked up. "I guess I can tell It, now thnl yon know I've got insldes lu me. Somehow, 1 don't think ho will care, under ihe circumstances*. 1 could have told It before, Imt 1 know lobody would believe me. Then, there was the guying," lie put a hand to the pocket of his shirt and drew out au object, whicli he placed in lhe bauds of the officer. .In.-;i us we reached tho top of the trench," lu- said, "that fell from my pocket and went rolling end over end lown the hank. 1 wenj after it. The irdors I obeyed aro on the buck. I got those orders before 1 got ordors to limb that hill at San Mateo!" Captain Blflnch held thu object to lhe light of tlie lire. Jt was the photograph of a. girl hack In old Kentucky, and written across tho back In a careful, regular, girlish hand was thc sen- ten oe; "Don't let anybody seo this." BRANCHING ROOTS AND BEETLES Tlie irees known as "mangroves" form dense thickets along the seacoast hi the tropics of the Old World ns well as of lh" New. They are cll.irnetclizcd h.v the production of many prop-routs from the trunks und brunches; these prop-roots reach Into thc mud ami form practically Impenetrable tangles, They thus hold ilie mud together ami ure said to serve us natural sea walls, protecting lhe soil agalnsl Un* Inroads of ibe sea. The hark of lhe tree Is Sometimes taken for Us ahundnlice of ia ii a lug material; othorwlso tho several species ure of uo it. nlc Impurt- alice. in many of these species ihe roots branch repeatedly before reaching lhe mud, instead of growing straight down. The root divides into two branches, one of whicli soon dies uwuy, while the Olher continues the growth. After extending for some distance, this Up also divides into two, one of the hranches persisting, ami so on, As the dead root helps to bold the mud and to mnke the tangle closer, tho branching hus been explained hy some naturalists as a special adaptation to the plant's mode of life, Other explanations for tho branching have boen offered. One of these Is that tbe formation of a side root near the Up of a prop-root would divert the food In that part of the plant and so cause the death of the descending tip. Another view is that the branching Is caused by Internal physiological conditions. During the past summer the Dutch botanist, Van Leeuwen, had an opportunity to study a mangrove tangle near Samarang in Java, and he discovered thc cause of the peculiar habit of root-branching to be a small beetle. The female heetle lays her egg near lho Up of tho root. The Injury causes u new root to sprout out just above the tip, the old tip continuing to grow. As tho young beetle hatches out it he- gins to feed upon the material Inside the root and this brings about the death of that part. Instead of this heetle being of use to tho plant, us would be supposed by those who hail assumed that the root hrunehing was advantageous to the trees, Van Leeuwen finds that the beetles are quite injurious. SOME INCIDENTS OF ORATORY A mun who boasted of his eloquence said that he often declaimed to himself; on which another observed, "I am afraid, on such occasions, you have a very ignorant audience." Christina. Queen of Sweden, having attended a very long harangue, which much fatigued her, was requested afterwords to show her liberality to the orator; but, instead of giving anything, she said, "I think he Is much indebted to nie for sitting to hear his discourse." That rhetoric, says Selden In his Table Talk, is the best which is the most seasonable and catching. We huve un Instance of this In that blunt commander at Cadiz, who showed himself a good orator. Heing asked to say something to ids soldiers lie made them tills speech: "What a shame will it be to you Englishmen, who food upon good beef, to let those Spaniards beat you. tbat live upon oranges and lemons." Henry IV. onco entered Amiens very much fatigued and, being saluted by un orator, who began his hurungue with "Most great most clement, most magnanimous," . Interrupted him by saying, "Add likewise, 'und most tired.' So, pray, leave me to my repose, and I will liear tlie rest of your discourse another time." The same monarch was at another time detained from his dinner by a verbose orator, who commenced his Speech with, "Hannibal entered Curtilage, sire " "Ventre de Saint Oris!" cried the king, this lieing his usuul uuth. "Hannibal entered Carthage after be had dined, and I want to go to my dinner." The deputies of a city going to pay their respects to Henry, exhausted his patience hy some very fulsome speeches, in ihe midst of which an ass began to bray, wben tbe king, taking Off his hut, said very gravely, "One at a time, if you please. gentlemen." One of the lust orations ever offered was that of Henry himself to his army hefore a bailie: "I am your king you are Frenchmen there is the enemy." CLEVER DIOGENE8 a parent brought his son tot Diogenes for Instruction, and to recommend Ibe youth, snld that "be had a uobb* genius and was a lad of excellent morals." "Weil." answered Dlogenos, "if thai Is the case, he has no need of nie." In reply to a scurrilous fellow of Infamous character who bail poured upon blm a volley ot abuse, be said: "1 am hnppy in heing honored with thy enmity; for the greatest mischief that could befall nie would he thy friendship." Diogenes having heen abused by an old bald-pa tod rake, said; "My friend, your hair must have possessed great virtue." "Why so?" oxclalmod the hoary profligate. "Docause," replied lho philosopher, "It hud the grace to abandon an In- famous skull." Dlogenos once nsked a spendthrift to give him u hundred drachmas j the young fellow, surprised at ihe request, said: "Is It nol Inconsistent in you to beg one hundred drachmas of mo, when you ask only ono of other peoplo?" Not ut nil." replied the Cynic, "for I expect to he relieved by them again." A wrestler, who had often been de- feated In ihe public games, left off the practice ami took n. mat of physio. "Now." said (lie Cynic, "you will succeed in knocking down those who formerly knocked down you." Ulie asked I'io^.-iies lo advise him how he should h.* revenged of his enemy. 'The hesi way l kimw of," said ihe philosopher, "is in make thyself distinguished h.v thy virtue." Mooting at an early hour a musician whose singing and playing made tho company depart, Diogenes accosted him wiih "Good morning to you. cock." "Why do you cull mc cock?" "Because when you crow tin' people Heing asked what beasl was the most dangerous lor a man to be bitten hy, ho answered; "If you mean a wild beast, 'lis the slanderer; If a tuine one, tlie sycophant." Observing some gay young Rbodlans very olegantly dressed, he sold: "This is pride;" Imincdinlcly afterwards a parly of Lacedemonians passed by. In lolled Jackets, upon which Dlogenos laid; "'lids is another sorl of pride." Yol tlie Cynic himself Justly Incurred ih.- same charge, Hearing tlmt Plato had an eiileiiainuieiit in his house, Diogenes entered, ami without ceremony begun lo trample upon the ear- pels, saying: "Thus l tread upon the pride of Plato." 'I'be wis.- man, instead of expressing any resentment at ids rudeness, observed calmly: "Bul wiih grouler prldo, Diogenes." Dlogones obsorvlng a young profligate throwing stoms at a gibbet said: "I s.-e thOU art a promising lad, and Inula nol Ihul (bon will hit the murk it last." A lawyer uml a physician disputed About precedence, and appealed to Diogenes, who gavo It for the lawyer, saying: "Let the thief go firs-it and the executioner follow." Th*' magistrates and officers of justice were conveying a fellow to the gallows, whoso crime consisted ln stealing a silver cup from the public treasury. One asked Diogenes what was tlio moaning of that crowd and uproar. "Oh, nothing." said he, "only tho great rogues are carrying the little rogue to the gallows." OLD CUSTOM KILLED From time Immemorial it has been the custom of tho French dressmakers lo display their new fashions at the Autcuil race-course. They decked their models in tho bravest costumes and sent them out to mingle with the gay crowd und to excite the interest and the envy of modish i'aris. But the custom has been broken. Not a modal was to be seen last month, and those who arrived witli cameras and not.- books to secure a forecast for the season were compelled t*» return empty. The dressmakers say that the old custom win never h»- renewed. The harem skirt lias killed it. They believe that but for the outcry uf the newspapers the new skirt would have triumphed, but public taste is easily gulded and public prejudice is aroused. The newspapers united in a hue and cry as soon as the first harem skirts appeared on the Auteuil racecourse and fashionable women were positively afraid to wear it. So the dressmakers will not repeat the rlalry venture. They will give no hint of tha new fashions for the edification of tha critics and they will make their own plans for the introduction of their novelties. CHARLES DICKENS. EDITOR Creative work carries such in undoubted ascendancy with it today that one cun only wonder at Charles Dickens, the editor, expending on nutine work an enormous amount of time and energy that might have gone into Imaginative work of his own. Aa *iditor of "Household Words" and 'Ail tha Yeur 'Hound," Dickens slaved over te- tails—a single or double inverted <:om- ma, the deleting of a line left tn by accident, endless didieulties in makeup, anxiety about circulation, the f >r and against of advertising.
