He had hoped to be asked to take

met her before, but somehow they
seemed to know each other very well
by the time they had spoken a few
words In the course of the short wait
before the guests paired off on their
way to the dining room. He didn't
know what she thought of him, but he
knew that from his point OF view she
was about right. And he was a man
difficult to please.
The men seemed to him to llnger over

It is a survival Of the methods Of tor

PAINT ON INDIAN FACES.
Nearly All of IL Means Something to
Those Initiated.

Nearly All OF IL means something TO
Those Initiated.
The fact Of the matter Is that every
paint mark on an Indians face Is a
sign with a definite meaning which
other Indians may read. When an In
dian puts on his full war paint, he
decks himself not only with his own
individual honors and distinctions won
by his own bravery, but also with the
special honors Of his family or tribe.
He may possess one mark of dlstnc-
ton only or many. In fact, he may be
so well Off in this respect that like
some English noblemen. he is able to
don new distinction for every occa-
sion. Sometimes he will wear all his
honors at one time.
Among the Indian tribes Is one desig-
mated by the symbol Of the dogfish.
painted In red on the face. The vari-
Gus parts of the fish are scattered
heterogeneously ON the surface of the
face; the peculiarly long snout is paint
ed on the forehead. the gills are repre-
sented by two curved lines below the
eyes. while the tail Is shown as cut In
two and hanging from either nostril
When only one or two parts Of an ami
NAL are painted on mans face, It Is
an indication of inferiority; when the
whole animal appears. even though In
many oddly assorted parts. the sign
is one Of great value and indicates n
high rank.
Very peculiar are some Of the honor
able symbols painted on the Indians
faces. There are fish, flesh and fowl
of all kinds-dog salmon, devilfish,
starfish. woodpeckers,. eagles, ravens,
wolves. bears. sea lions and sea mon.
sters, mosquitoes, frogs, mountain
goats and all manner of foot, claw or
beak marhs-each with special mean
ing Of It's own.-Pearson's Magazine.

Description of the Mauser Pistol
That Is to He Used by United
States Cnvalrymen.
THE END.

THE new Mausor pistol, with which
our cavalry is about to be armed, is q
horrible looking piece of machinery"
said an neutrality-suspicious. the other day.
at doesn't resemble firearm at all,
but looks like some strange scientific
instrument, such as one might see in
a laboratory. Imagine a cigar box,
japanned black, with handle at one
end and a short tube at the other, and
there you have it. The box contains
the mechanism and the tube spouts
bullets. The cavalryman of the past
was dashing figure. He wore steel
cuirass and a helmet with nodding
plumes, and while he carried brace of
pistols in his holsters, his real weapon
was his trusty saber. Do you remem-
Der the splendid fellows who are gallop-
ing past Napoleon in Meissonier's '1S07?'
Since then science has gradually sucked
all the poetry out of war and the Mauser
pistol is the last work of brutal utili-
tarianism. The cava'ryman of the
future will carry nothing but small
black walnut box, and will closely re-
semble surgeon going out to operate
for appendicitis. When he gets to the
right spot, designated by the engineer
corps, he will dismount, open the box,
take out his hideous Mauser machine,
hook the case to one end, so as to form
a shoulder rest, spray few quarts of
projectiles in given direction and 20
home again to rest after the fatigue of
the fray If the calculations of the
range finder are all right his bullets per-
forate somebody a mile away. That
will be war a la mode. In some respects
it is great Improvement on the old
style, but it will inspire no poets. I'm

and tumultuous upheaval that tossed
the Doric like cork and made locomo-
ton problem. The rising wind and
sea sent the spray whirling from her
bows, and Mildred's young man, cast
ing about for dry corner, had depos-
tied his fair charge on bench along
the forward deck house and was scout
ing up and down for steamer chairs.
Armstrong had drawn his close to that
in which Miss Lawrence reclined her
knitted steamer cap pulled well for
ward over her brow. His feet were
braced against a stanchion. His eyes
were intent upon her sweet face. He
had no thought for other men, even
those in similar plight. His gaze,
though unhampered by the high peak
of his forage cap, comprehended moth
ing beyond the rounded outline of that
soft cheek. Her eyes. well-nigh hidden
by her shrouding TAM" saw the
searching son of Albion and told her
his need. The best of women will find
excuse for interruption at such mo-
ments when sure of the devotion of the
man who sits with fateful question
she longs to hear those very words, will
find means to defer them as kitten
dallies with captured mouse or a child
saves to the very last the sweetest NOR
sci of her birthday cake. Not ten min
utes before, when Hon. BERTHE Shafto
had started impulsively toward the va
cant chair by Armstrong; side, a firm
hand detained him, and Miss Prime had
hastily interposed. Not on any ac-
count" said she, imperiously. Cant
you see?" And Mr.. Shafto, adjusting
his monocle, had gazed long and fxedly
and then, transferring his gaze to her,
had said:
''Eh-eh-yes. It's not ours, / sup
pose you mean"
But now Amy Lawrence was beckon-
ing, and he made a rush for the rail,
then worked his way aft, hand over
hand. Every movable on deck was TAX
ing a sudden slant to starboard, and the
sea went kissing by almost on level
with the deck as next she spoke.
Surely a soldier needs both arms in
battle, and you Oh, certainly, Mr..
Shafto, take that chair" she added
Armstrong glanced up suddenly.
ooh! that you, Shafto? Yes; take it
by all means"
Anything, thought he, rather than
that they should come here. The young
Briton stepped easily past between
them and the rail-behind there was no
room-and, swinging the long, awk-
wardly modelled fabric to his broad
shoulder, started back just as a huge
wave heaved suddenly under the coun-
ter, heeled the steamer far over to port.
threw him of his balance, and, his foot
catching at the bottom of her chair.
hurled him, load and all, straight at
Amy's reclining form. One instant.
and even her uplifted hands could not
have saved her face; but in that instant
Armstrong had darted in, caught the
stumbling Briton on one arm, and the
full force of the shooting chair crash
ing upon the other, already pierced by
