In the regions of famine and drought
in India last year the administration
crowds appealed to their gods for aid.
In Aurungabad, in Western India, the
priests were paid for prayers for rain,
to be continued for many days, with
the usual accomplishments of process
sions and much noise. When days and
weeks passed and no rain fell the peo-
pie of the district were furious against
their gods. In some places they dauDed
the idols with mud and blocked the
approaches to the temples with masses
of thorns. In other places they made
pools in the temples, into which they
threw their idols, that they might
shiver in water. as "a penalty for keep
ing the fields dry The people sit in

Glass Eye for a Horse.

Usually horses that lose an eye or
so dispense with the luxury of a glass
one. But this is not the case with
a famous Pacific coast trotter. The
owner Of the valuable animal deter
ined that his favorite should not
have its beauty marred by an I'M
slightly and eyeless socket. He went
TO a prominent optician, had an eye
made to match the real one and had
it fitted into the horses head. The
glass eye seemed not to disturb the
horse, and was a complete success in
point of appearance. The art of max
ing artificial eyes has reached such
state of excellence that many of
them cannot be detected from the real
eye One reason for this is that the
pupils of the best glass eyes are SO
made that they seem to expand or
contract to the amount of light that
falls upon the eye.

Here he glanced at her trif1e ex-
pectantIy. NO" she replied, absently,
smoothing a tiny wrinkle in the cover
ing of the hard little hospital bed.
ooh, you don't think there is?' he
demanded, fiercely, stopping in his
task of buckling the straps of his army
blanket.
well, the doctors say there isn't"
she said, and then commenced
Strengthening the bottles on the little
stand with rather nervous fingers.
"Confound the doctors," He gave
vicious and final tug to the straps, and
then added: They're precious set

'Why, one would think you hadn't
been well treated here" she said, with
rather an unsteady laugh.
oh" exclaimed the young officer,
you've treated me well enough-just
as well as you would anybody else, l
suppose
A shadow of smile crossed her lips,
but there were tears in her eyes he did
not see.
81 don't complain" he went on bit
terly, watching the graceful lines of
the little figure in the blue and white
striped dress, as it moved to and fro.
Tomorrow they'll bring some other
poor fellow in here and you'll take
just as good care of him as you did me,
and let him go with just as much
cheerfulness, too. Poor devil" And
the young lieutenant went to the win
dow and drummed on the glass with
impatient fingers as he stared gloomily
at the little patch of gray January sky
visible above the high roof of the
church next door.
Through many weeks of pain and
weakness and WEAKNESS indescrfbable
he had watched that little scrap OF
gray as he lay helpless in the grasp of
that terrible fever-the insidious,
treacherous, deadly fever of the trop-
les that had crept into his veins from
the trenches of Santiago.
At first it had meant nothing to
him but so much blank space, that
patch of sky.
Then it began to take on new
meaning, as he noticed that it was
often the background for a picture-a
charming silhouette of girlish face,
with a little tip-tilted nose and tender
curves of cheek and chin and waving
masses of hair surmounted by a tiny,
stiff cap of diaphanous white.
He came to watch for this dainty
vision, and sometimes in his fevered
dreams he would see it when it was
not there, always bending toward him
with a smile of divine pity on the
sweet lips.
He could see it now, though his
back was turned to the girl busy at
the table, and he gave an inward
groan as he remembered that soon he
would see it no more, except in
dreams.
No one knew what that face had
grown to be to him in the past few
