The sound of voices below let her
know that her friends We're advancing
upon her. She sprang up into the chair
and thence to the sideboard. Behind it
she saw safety.
just then there was a ripping sound,
accompanied by a great jerk upon her
skirts. Theshock turned her half round,
and she sat down upon the higher por-
ton of the sideboard in a n that
was ridiculously easy.
AT this moment the round face of
Dollie Hayes appeared in her field of
vision.
"Why, Amy Weld!" she exclaimed.
What in the world are you doing up
there?"
Perhaps the remark of Mrs. Leland
Powers may have been lingering in
Amy's brain and have unconsciously
shaped her ridiculous reply.
."These stairs are so tiresome," she
said. "I-I-just stopped to rest!'
"Well, you selected a nice place!" said
Dollie. What was the matter with the
chair?"

Ordinarily Amy Weld was the most

she found no difficulty in uttering a
large and shameless falsehood.
Il was sitting in the chair" she said,
when a horrid house ran out of the
wall and frightened me nearly to death.
So | just jumped right up here"
She gently disengaged her dress from
the nail which had caught it and step
ped down by means of the chair. The
mention of the mouse frightened all
question of veracity out of the minds
Of the other ladies. They ran toward
the next fight of stairs, but as they
reached the bottom Burton turned and
said:
"Of course you're here for Signor Be
vanini's concerto"
Amy thought she saw the woman
glance backward over the sideboard in
the direction of Morton's door, so she
hastily replied:
why, OF course. I'll come right
along with you"
She had remembered Signor Beva-
mini and his habit of giving forenoon
recitals for his fashionable pupils and
their friends. She had not the pleasure
of the signor's acquaintance and had
not known that his studio was in that
building, but she accepted that fact
with relief and plodded up stairs in the
wake of Mrs. Burton.

!. The Army In the Field.

EH '
The layman cannot easily realize the
vast amount of material as to food and
ammunition demanded by an army in
the field. A few facts and figures as
to this may aid to make it more tangi-
bic. Each man requires, at a mini
num-, three pounds and a half of food
per day. Each animal should have at
least 20 pounds Of food in countries
where grazing is not abundant. If we
take, for purposes of estimate, only Is
pounds required to supply each animal,
leaving five pounds to be gathered from
the country by grazing and otherwise,
we assume a quantity that may be, con
sidered a minimum.
An army Of 100000 men would re-
quire about 10000 animals for trans
p%ortation of artillery, camp equipment,
ammunition, food, hospital and med
zeal equipment. There should not be
less than 10000 cavalry. There should.
not be less than 10000 animals avail
able at all times to supply losses. This
makes a total of 10000 animals to be
fed. With this as a basis we see that
the daily demands would be for the
men $4,000 pounds and for the horses
100000 pounds, or an aggregate of
1,ST5,CG0 pounds. This is equal to
something more than $50 tons per day.
