officials were striving with all their power to herd the enthusiastic crowd aboard the cars. Regimental officers no longer exerted authority. Melville it was who settled the question. We haven't moment to spare if we're to go with this boat, Eric" he whispered as he grasped his arm and then led him away.
 A moment later the huge ferryboat was sending a foaming rush of moonlit waters sternward against the receding piers. The passengers, as was their wont, were gathered within the glass inclosed saloon" of the upper deck, some few braying the breeze toward the bows, but Langdon stood gazing back over the seething flood and the fast dimming lights of the ferryhouse, his eyes on the last vestiges of the regi- ment, scores of whom had chased after him for a final cheer, his thoughts go- ing back over the year of active Serv- ice, of battle and campaign, he and those brave lads had spent together. But little by little the gaze relaxed and turned, following his heart, to the girl standing silent there at the rail. She was listening, breathless, to the cheers and farewells. She had marked the deep emotion in his eyes and in those of the tried and trusty comrades now fading from view. Stealthily, silently, Mrs. Melville had led her general with in doors and told him the night air was too raw for a wounded veteran.
 How about Eric?" queried the gen. eral, with twinkling in his eyes.
 Leave him to-Ethel,' was the an swer of superior wisdom.
 And so, ten years after the sad events that sent him adrift upon the world, Langdon turned as the last faint cheer followed them across the racing wa ters, marked her as she stood like one absorbed, entranced, threw one quick glance about him, then as quickly step ped to her side and seized within his own firm grasp the slender hands that were trembling at the rail. Then she, too, gave one startled look, saw that they were alone, and even under the pallor of the moonlight her brow flush ed crimson. Lids and lashes dropped and yelled her swimming eyes, for the woman in her told her that, without a word, she stood confessed in the pres ance of her master, even though that master were looking imploringly into aer downcast face, and the voice that stilled or swayed at will those hosts of stalwart men was trembling in it's plea, adoring and passionate, for the love he craved in answer to that he so long had given. What was there left for her to I~1f h hoo 1 mo Eagerly he bent, lower, lower still, and then shyly at last they were upraised and-toid him.

THE END.
The Eclipse Cyclone

The remarkable discovery that 2 total eclipse of the sun developes a cold-air cyclone as the shadow sweeps across the earh has beer made by Mir. H. C. Clayton through a study of the meteorological phenom- ena observed during the eclipse ot May, 1909. During the eclipse the winds were practically reversed ir direction, as the umbra moved from one side of the continent to the oth. CT, and there was an outflow of air from the shadow to a distance oi 1,500 miles. As the shadow prog ressed about 2,OO0 miles an hour ''the eclipse cyclone, to keep pace with it, must have continuously formed within the shadow and must have dissipated in the rear almost instantly.2 MT. Clayton believes that this discovery indicates that the fall of temperature at night must tend to produce cold-air cyclone, while the heat of day tends to the production of warm-air one, and thus the puzzling phenomenon of the double diurnal period in air pressure receives an explanation.- Science.

is ten years old and weighs 900pounds His sole occupation is to run errands All daN long, with saddle on his back. he stands ready.
 One of his duties is to carry the mails to all the south-bound mail trains. He has an open stall in the stable, and he occupies it without hitching, with the barndoor always open.
 Dixie can always be trusted to return to his stall promptly when his errand is done. It matters not where the rider dismounts, even if in the heart of the business section of the city, the horse resumes his trot back to his stall with out paying any attention to street cars. automob piles, threshing machines or bicycles.
 Dixie is especially useful when one has but limited time to catch train. He makes a good run to the depot with his rider, and then, when he sees that he made his train, resumes moderate gait on his return to the barn without a rider. This knowing animal is ire quently sent from the barn to his own er's home, situated some distance away. Arriving at the house Dixie waits patiently beside the door till his master comes out.
 Dixie has so far played but one joke on any of his riders. One evening a young Ashtabula business man rode him into the country to call on his lady friend Knowing Dixie's reputation of standing without hitching, he left him loose in the yard to graze. After few hours wait Dixie started home, unbeknown to the rider, arriving in Ashtabula several hours ahead of him
