"S-s-s-s-t."
The sound interrupted his revery. A
dirty, ragged individual stepped from
behind the tent. Looking cautiously
to the right and left he slipped a grimy
bit of paper into Chadwick's hand.
Guy hastily tore open the note. He
read:
My Dear American Soldier: Prove to
me that you love me. Join us tonight.
Papa will make you a big officer.
NINA.
A pang went to his heart. A smoul-
dering fire famed up. In spite of this
evidence of her insincerity, Guy now
realized that his feeling for her was
more than mere interest in the girl. He
was Disguised to discover his weak
ness.
Get out of here he said in a harsh
voice. "GO tell the one who sent you
that my flag is dearer to me than all
the world, and before l leave it 1 will
die. Go"
The effort cost him pain. He crawled
back into his tent a miserable man. The
sun had set.

1.-The lieutenant went off with a dirty
looking beggar," said the guard. 'One
of his charities, l guess. Said he'd be
back before long"
Private Chadwick knew otherwise.
He was torn one way by jealousy to-
ward his erstwhile friend, another by
anger at the girl who had played him
false. He worked himself into a fever.
His comrades attributed it to sorrow
for his lost friend, for, after a fruitless
search. 1t was said hat Lieut.. Butter

Chadwick paced slowly up and down,

His challenge went unanswered. He
espied a form disappearing into aclump
of bushes.
Bang" He ired-but into the air.
The corporal Of the guard came run
ming down the line. He received the
sentry's report: "Marauding party of
devils" But Guy did not tell of all
he saw. In the disappearing form he
had recognized his deserter friend.

constant use, like the red on Gladys
G~wendolen's waxen cheek. In constant
repetition there's a certain wear and tear.
Heaven knows if the Scotch had any
thing to do with hop-scotch or not.
There's nothing in a name, anyway. To
play the game a complicated scheme Is
chalked on the concrete walk. The
squares are quite large and numbered,
and the hopping begins. 1t is certainly
good exercise. A little chip or stone
u be kicked from square 1 to square
2 and so on. 1t must always be done
with one foot and the other foot must
never touch the ground. Neither must
the chip stop on one Of the numerous
chalked lines, and the hopper must never
twinkle a toe on one of these lines, either.
It's all very complicated and jarring.
Almost everything is prohibited in hop
scotch.
Jumping rope is left to girls, too. Doc
tors have inveighed against it, but all in
vain. The girls are still jumping. When
ever you see boys spinning tops you will
find girls jumping rope. and probably the
benefit, so far as exercise goes, is on the
side of the girls.
1t is a matter Of pride to be able to
jump to twenty or forty or sixty, accord
ing to age and strength. How the braids
bob and the curls fyl They hold their
hats on by main force, while the rope
whips the ground beneath the flying feet.
There is a double rope called the Spanish
rope, which calls for great swiftness of
eye and lightness of foot. There is a
slow motion of the rope from side to
side. called making the cradle. ANYBODY
can jump that.
Whether you are a girl admitted to the
blessed privilege Of overalls, or whether
you are a girl obliged to look after the
unbroken continuity of skirts and stock.
ings, the pleasant spring days are the
time for fun. The days are so short and
the plays are so many that the little folk
stuff themselves at night, after all the
vigorous exercise, and go to sleep with
| skins tight as any drum.

er of the trees, they halted on the
edge of a clearing. Not more than
a thousand yards away. 900 Filipinos,
under the leadership of a young officer
in the uniform Of the United States
army, were stealthily advancing.
Careful men. Don't fire. Wait for
orders" cautioned the officers.
The American lines deployed and
now a vOlley carried death into the op-
posing force. The battle ragged back
and forth. Scattering were the shots
which returned the regular fire of the
boys in blue. The insurgents became
disorganized. Their retreat became a
rout.
The battle was over. The soldiers
returned VIGOROUSLY rejoicing. As they
picked their way over the spot Of the
first encounter, they came upon a sad
scene. In the midst of the dead and
dying, lay the lifeless body of a pretty
black-eyed Filipino girl, beside the dead
deserter lieutenant, and there, with his
head buried in his arms and weeping
like a child, was Private Chadwick

The method Of testing coal by X

ufacturers, who state that it makes a
considerable difference in their fuel
bills. 1t is found that by turning the
rays Oh to the coal they can tell how
much G. it will remain as ashes after
it is burned and how much will escape
as gas. This is manifestly of the first
Importance to all users of steam power.
The lOwest-priced coal is not necessar-
lily the cheapest. The percentage Of
ash is n of the best indications Of
the steam-making qualities Of coal. 4
coal which leaves a large amount Of
ash has, Of course, a relatively small
amount of combustible constituents.
and vice versa.
The shadow produced upon the huor-
oscope by a piece Of coal Of a given
size and thickness is apparently de-
pendent for its relative density upon
the amoun Of ash-producing material
in the, piece of coal. a number Of sam
pies of uniform thickness of various
kinds of coal having known percent
ages of ash are prepared. The density
of the shadow cast by these in the
horoscope is compared with that Of
the coal to be tested. and the quantity
of ash per ton in the sample under
consideration is Immediately shown
with considerable accuracy.-Globe-

savages on the scent.

Among many savage tribes the sense
of smell is almost as acute as in some
Of the lower animals. The Peruvian
Indians are able, according to Hum
bOldt, to distinguish in the middle of
the night, whether an approaching
stranger is a European, American. In
dian, or negro. NJ. Houzeau also as
serts that he proved by repeated ex-
periments that negroes and Indians can
distinguish persons in the dark by their
color. Indian travellers have recorded
that certain natives who habitually alb
stain from animal food have a sense
Of smell which is so exquisitely deli
cate that they can tell from which we'll
a vessel Of water has been obtained.
BY smell alone the negroes Of the An
titles will detect the footsteps of a
Frenchman from those of a negro. The
guides who accompany travellers on the
route from Aleppo to Babylon will tell
by smelling the desert sand how near
they are to the latter place. But the
people gifted with delicate olfactory
nerves, above all others, are the abo-
rhymes of Australia; and to such an e
tent is their gift relied upon that the
government had, a few years back, a
number of natives In the police force
who were employed solely as crackers
for hunting out criminals by smell
alone, which they did with the greatest
! success.

say, you tourists have queer ideas Of
things.
zone man came out TO the ranch and
asked to see my peanut ~grove-that's a
fact, and almost every tenderfoot
thinks that peanuts grow on trees. !
have been raising peanuts some years
now, and my humpbacked nuts are the
vogue-at least around here. Why they
grow humpbacked l don't know; per-
haps the soil is 50 rich they try to grow
too hard.
You would be surprised to see a pea
nut ranch" continued the owner of
one, IF you have never seen n It
looks like a field overgrown with
weeds.
''The plant is low and clings to the
ground running along it, and when
the nuts begin to appear they try to
bury themselves and by the time they
are ripe they are several inches under
ground; so peanuts are dug something
like potatoes.
Of peanuts for a nickel. but if they
knew that a bag of peanuts doesn't cost
five mills they wouldn't think so.
but l think there is more money In

They are easy to harvest. When
they are ripe we run over the vines
with a digger. which hauls up the
vines, or they can be raked up and ar.
ranged in rows, and then the
hard work-picking them.
Each peanut is attached to the root
by a stem, and a great many have to
be picked to make a ton, and a ton of
peanuts fills a heap of space. But, after
