Now by simply combining these two

row streak of sunlight can come through.
Place your basin of water so that this
narrow streak of sunlight can strike the
surface of the water and be refracted
downward Then stick your mirror into
it so that the refracted beam will be re-
fiscted out of the water again and up
against the wall or ceiling. The beauti-
ful spectrum or rainbow which will re-
suit will more than repay you for your

DICK HARLEY.
The Hero OF a Hand-car.
BY GERALD Brennan.


All work had been temporarily sus-
pended upon the half-laid tracks of the
new Beira & Mashonaland railway, and
the rainy season had driven engineers,
surveyors and laborers to seek shelter
in the rude sheds of the chartered COM
pany at initial.
With the resi-, young Dick Harley, sur
veyor's apprentice, sat in one Of the
sheds, watching the falling torrents,
and utilizing his spare time in inditing
a letter 10 a schoolboy friend at home.
AS he was in the middle of a thrilling
description of the recent attack of ma
laria which had so cruelty decimated
the ranks OF the railroad people, DIR.
O'Leary, the physician in charge of the
Umtali section entered the shed, his
macintosh dripping, and an unusually
serious expression upon his round,
good-humored face.
What's the matter, doc? Anything
gone Wrong2" asked Long Jim Greene,
an American engineer, suspending q
game OF dominoes to put the question.
''Wrongi" repeated DR.. O'Leary.
''Wen, perhaps you might call jungle
fever something wrong"
Jungle feveri o, Lord" cried Long
Jim, throwing aside his domiEOes with
a clatter
Eyes, fever" continued the doctor.
I've just come from the shed over
rorder, where the Afghan laborers are.
Five of them are down with the disease.
The natives will catch it next, and then
It may be our turn"
Instantly the crowded shed was in
7ild commotiOn. Men We're for send
ng at once to Salisbury, the capital of
.dashonaland, or TO BeiTa, on the coast,
for medical aid and supplies: but the
doctor reminded them that the railway
ended just three miles further on in the
hush, and that, on account of the rains,
all the locomotives were stalled at the
rC2st
'',The only thing we can do said the
doctor, lis to sit tight and wait for
help from outside
Little Dick Harley left his unfinished
letter lyirg on q biscuit box, and caught
fast friends, for it was O'Leary who
had treated the boy to his first South
African hunting expedition.
Doctor, you'll need help" said Dick
eagerly. Cant 1 turn in and nurse,
as I did during the malaria?"
O'Leary shook his head doubtfully.
MY boy" he said, this is a very
different thing from the malaria. You
had better keep away from it.
But Dick insisted. There was no sur
veyinS to be done, he pleaded. He was
idle and wanted work. Besides he had
passed through q siege of typhoid when
he was at school. Finally O'Leary gave
way, and installed him as his first as
sistant in ordinary. Others OF the men,
including long Jim Greene, volunteered
for the work, but the great majority
were too frightened by the bare men
lion of Jungle fever to entertain the
suggestion Of lending aid. Indeed, some
were so scared that they shrank into
distant corners, preferring the drippings
from the badly tarred roof to the dan
ger Of taking fever from the doctor.
Before two days were past, half the
white laborers and engineers were de-
irious.
1t was hard work even for strong
men, how hard therefore must it have
been for Dick Harley2 But Dick was
not of the kind that grUmbles in time

A HOMEMADE RAINBOW.


\ rainbow is caused by the refraction
of sunlight through falling raindrops-
Any boy may make a beautiful rainbow
on the wall or ceiling of his room by
means of a small mirror and basin of
water. White light is really combina-
ton of many coIore, and if it is made TO
shine through a three-sided prism it
will be broken up and all of the colors
which compose il will be separated one
from the other and projected onward in
the form of beautifully variegated band
of light known as the spectrum. A rain
bow is a spectrum. The drops of falling
rain are really little globes of water
which take the place of the prism and
break up the sunlight into many colors
and project it onward and reflect it back
ward in the form of the beautiful band of
light we know so well.
Have you ever noticed that when a
beam of sunlight falls on water in a
basin it seems to be broken or DETECTED
and made TO shoot onward through the
water in a new direction slightly out OF
line with the beam as it was before il

When Dick came to himself. it was
before a roaring fire, with the taste
OF Guinine on his lips, and his feet in
a hot bath. Several gentlemen were
seated around, and to these long Jim
Greene was narrating the stirring in
cidents of the day. A telegraph instru-
ment was ticking in one corner, and in
the other lay Red Pat Shea, still de-
Iirious.

ton which Dick asked.
a tall broad shouldered gentleman,
with the face OF a Roman Caesar, laid
his hand on the lads shoulder.
Yes. Dick" he said, its all right
thanks to you. Fortunately, six of the
e>mpany's directors came out here from
Beira yesterday, TO see if the new tele-
graph wire was working. You arrived
just in the nick of time. We have tele-
Graphed for doctors and medicines, and
in an hour the train will arrive TO
carry US on to Vintali. AS for you, my
Icy, we all consider you young hero.
If half what this man says is true"
ITS all true cried long jim fer
Yently. Il tell you, sir, he worked the
lever after l had given it UP. Besides
only for him we wouldn't have made

The tail man nodded. Then" he said.

-Dick Harley deserves q signal reward
How would you like, youngster,
10 take the position of private secre-
tary to the president of the Beira &
Salisbury railway"
Dicks eyes fairly bulged out
But, sir he ventured, perhaps the
president would not care to offer it to
me-
at this those around the fire smiled,
and the tall man said, quietly:
II don't think there will be any diff
Guilty about that. In fact, you may con-
slider yourself engaged"
Then Dick, looking at the strong face
ard keen gray eyes of the speaker, saw
at last how the land lay.
you are the president yourself" he
exclaimed-'.you are Cecil Rhodes."
The great South African pioneer nod
ded his head good humoredly.
yes, 1 am the president now" he
said, 'but if certain Dick Harley
keeps on as he has been doing, a few
years may see him in my place.
AS he spoke there sounded in the dis
lance the whistle of the relief train To-
