HER HEROIC sELF-sACRIFICE.
She Wouldn't Say n Word II He Went
Right Then.

1t was near the hour of II 30 pm and
the War Department clerk still remained
within the ancestral hall of mansion not
far from Scott Circle.
The young man was staying longer than
usual, for the girl liked him, notwithstand-
ing his dilatory habits, and he had some
hopes Of winning her hand and heart and
on this night he would put 1t to the test.
AS before stated. 1t was 11:3O o'clock
when he rested his elbow on the arm of
his chair and looked fixedly at the weary
maiden on the sofa.
Miss Ethelynd," he said, with a great
yearning, have you thought seriously of
what this terrible war is?"
Most women older than I am have" re-
spohded the girl, 'and l suppose 1 have
done my share"
You have fattered me once or twice,
Miss Ethelynd. by asking me not to go
to the front until you said 1 might go, or
until the call of my country was impera-
tive. Neither of those conditions is yet at
hand, and still l feel that 1t is my duty to
go. What do you say?'
There was tenderness and longing and
hope and scheming in his voice, for he was
laying a trap for her, and he watched her
to see the effect of his words
She looked at the clock wistfully and
turned her heavy-laden eyes upon him.
We'll" she said with sublime resignation.
'ff you will go right this minute. l won't
say wo-d."
And for the first time he realized the ac-
tual horrors OF war.

Great was his disappointment at finding
everything changed-aspect of country,
DRESS tongues, cities, life France he could
no more know again. But, Hello, what is
this?' he exclaimed with joy, as he crossed
the Bidassoa and his eye swept CASTLE, Es-
tramadura-Spain. This he cried, Il know
full well. This is mi terra, my own land,
and such as 1 left Vive Diosr
1T is a true story, too, to all intents and
purposes, and IL Adam should land there
today he wouldn't know the difference un-
less 1t might be that the fence around the
Garden of Eden had a few more palings
off of it and the gate was hanging on one
hinge"

AND THE FLY CAME BACK

'.My regular summer fly turned up this
morning." said the bald-headed man. with
savage gleam in his eye-in both of them,
In fact. when / awoke In bed, he was
with me. / recognized him at once. He
Is getting on In years now, that fly, but
could tell him a mile of. Could tell him
from any other fly In the world by the
malicious leer he always wears on his face,
and the sarcastic, contemptuous way he ad-
dresses me. He was sitting on my fore
head when came to this morning, heaving
Billingsgate at me In the same ola way. I
made swipe at him, and missed. of course.
Clumsy as ever, I see,' said he, flying
around to my left ear and digging his drill
ing apparatus into the tender lobe. Same
old elephantine duck, hey?' and he nipped
me again and took a chunk out oh. no,
you don't! he hooted at me as made an
other jab at him. You couldn't hit a dray
horse with bass fiddle and this time he
got right inside my right ear, raised the
dickens there for fully five seconds, and
Ropped out again on my forehead, with his
fingers at his nose and his tongue in his
cheek. Thought the frost had killed me
on. hey. didn't you?' says my fly to me,
wiping off his hind legs with his front ones.
Thought, because I'm bit late in showing
up this year, that l was dead one sure
enough, hey? Well. haint. ammi?' and
he dives beneath the open collar Of my
AiSHt SLlTt anu CneW5 on my cOllar DOne.
That fly, once he introduces himself to
me again each year. and I've had him on
my staff, the self-same fly, for fully fifteen
years however since my hair fell out
never turns me loose for a single instant,
waxing or sleeping. He followed me down
to my office this morning, as usual, and
he's been at me all day, jeering me and
eating me by turns. When take a car, he
takes car, too, and follows me right up.
l went down to Atlantic City four or five
times last summer, and he went along with
me. Hanged If he didn't follow me into the
sea, too l never bobbed up out Of a
comber that he didn't light on my head,
and say: Thought you could drown me
out, hey? Well. you can't, and then give
me particularly vicious nip. I've pleaded
with that fly with tears in my big
as saucers, but it's use. He's utterly
heartless. I've threatened him, all to no
avail I've reviled him up hill and down
vale. and thrown things at him. and hired
small boys by the hour to try to cage him,
so that l could shoot him to death with
shotgun-but all fruitIess, futile! He'll be
with me through life. There's no way of
escaping him! There he is now" and the
bald-headed man made a terrible sweep
with his right hand at fly that didn't look
to the layman any worse than the average
fly, sitting the end of his nose. And
then-it may have been imagination-the
writer thought he distinctly heard that fly,
as he flew away for the tenth part of sec
ond and then relighted on the bald d-headed
mans nose, exclaim: "Oh, you easy old
thing! Just watch me take another fall
out O. you!"

Audibflfty of Thunder.
From Industries and Iron

From Industries and Iron
While lightning may be seen and it's IL
Illumination of clouds and mist may be rec
ognized when 1t is even 200 miles distant,
thunder is rarely audible more than teu
miles. The thunder from very distant
storms, therefore, seldom reaches the ear
The reason of this great uncertainty in the
audiblity of thunder is not difficult to un-
derstand. 1t depends, not merely on the
initial intensity of the crash, but quite as
much on the surroundings of the observer
even as in the quiet country one will OBJ
serve feeble sounds that escape the ear in
noisy city. Perhaps the most curious
and important condition of audibility is
that the thunder wave of sound shall not
be refracted or reflected by the layers of
warm and cold air between the observer
ard the lightning or by the layers of wind
swift above and slow below, so as entirely
to pass over and around the observer
Sound. in its wave-like progress obllquely
through layers of air of different densi.ies
Is subject to refraction, and this refrac-
tion may occur at any time and place,
Thus, observers at the topmast of a ship
frequently hear fog whistles that are in
audible at sea level; those on hlltops
valley; those In front of an obstacle hear
sounds inaudible to those behind IL. The
rolling of thunder, like that of distant
cannoEade, may be largely due 10 special
reflections and refractions of sound. Again,
the greater velocity of the cir at consider
able altitude above the ground distorts the
sound-wave and .shortens the limit CT
audibility to the leeward, while Increasing
it to the windward.

STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE.
MOuntaineer Who Appreciated
Really Good Cooking.

AS rule the mountaineer of Kentucky
is not a gastronomic connoisseur and the
visitor at his table is quite as likely to hear
dried apples referred to as fruit as he Is
to find any other kind of fruit on the table

fastnesses. and living temporarily down IN
the blue grass has an opportunity to ac-

explain Il only asked to know If she had

vate houses even in the cities. you know, is
not the best in the world"

feeling; yer amt never tried the Widder
