: The light from the electric lamps is
reflected in patches on the smooth steel
beams of the engine. In and out, in

the rods, their perfect rhythm of mo-

no hint of the great speed 1T which the
giant vessel is cleaving her way.
Days have passed without signal
from above, the engines throbbing
steadily. Everything is repose; the in

common to the men that they do not

bowels of the ship, would never know
Suddenly the great signal gong

to them nothing, but that it must be
instantly obeyed.
It may be man overboard; it may
be in another instant some vessels
PROV will cut the ship in two, or the
ship itself crash into an iceberg-they
only know their orders; the bell has
spoken-stop.
With hands upon the wheels they
stood waiting, every nerve strained, in
utter ignorance of what the signal
means. Soldiers in action see the dan
ger; the officers on deck know what is
going on; but these men know nothing
but duty.
A moment passes without word in
that narrow room. Strong hands are
ready for the next order. It comes,
''clang, clang," reverse the engine. :"
The lever is drawn forward, the valves
open and obedient to the touch the
great piston rods move again.

1t was q very cold morning in tho
month of March, in the great city of
Chicago, writes youthful contributor:
A little old man stood on the corner of
Clark and Randolph streets selling
newspapers. He was very thinly cald and
kept trotting up and down, trying hard
to keep warm. His voice was hoarse
from cold, and passers-by could hardly
hear him shout Some rude boys jeer-
ed and laughed at him; but one, about
thirteen years old, rather better dress
ed than the rest, after looking at him
for a few moments walked up to him
and said, ''Shall shout for you?'' The
old man thought the 10y was making
fun of him and told him to ''be off,"
but the boy began to call out, ''Morn-
ing News, Times or Herald" in clear,
shrill voice, which attracted so many
customers that in a little while tho old
man had sold all his stock. He offered
to divide the profits with his youthful
: partner, but the 10y would take moth
ing, and went off with a smiling face.

Dahomey many years ago and actually
induced the King to remit his oppressive

Oriental countries was due mainly to his
familiarity with the languages, and to
his ability to disguise himself and
masquerade as native. He was credited
few years ago with speaking twenty
nine languages, not counting dialects.

musician, tells this story: "You see We
musicians who march to battle are really
the only ones who are unprotected. We,
of course, can handle no weapons and are
at the mercy of bullets. To our duty OF
furnishing the inspiring strains to the
marching soldiers we have another one,
that of carrying of the wounded from
the field on stretchers. In one of the
battles we were on our way to the scene
of action when we met soldier running
away from the field.
"'What is the matter?' l inquired in
chorus with several other of the mus.
clans. The man hurriedly replied: oh,
nothing at all. Pm only wounded in
one of the fingers of my left hand. I'm
off to have it dressed and will return
again
''But the light of inspiration had come
to us. No unprotected march for us
when our good angels had thrown such a
good chance in our way. We seized the
man and said, Get on the stretcher. ,
NO, no., he answered; only one of my
fingers is hurt. / can get on faster my
self. Why should | be carried? Do
walk with my hand! Let me- 60
1--WE merely repeated the order, Get
on the stretcher.' Seeing he was Obdur-
ate, we made bodily seizure of him and
put him forcibly on the waiting stretcher.
Then We beat hasty retreat with
our burden. We carried him down a
long hill to place of safety, and we
took good care to place our wounded
soldier in distant place of security.
