Danforth Strolled down the beach
looking for a certain white umbrella,
which he felt sure he would recognize
among a thousand similar ones. Far
down ON the sand dunes. we'll away
from the crowd which thronged the
sand, lie espied il. He could tell it by
the certain rakish angie with which it
was always stuck in the sand as well
as by the distinctive downward droop
of its time worn ribs Beneath the UNI
hrella he would find her Danforth
quiekened his steps aud made for the
sand dunes.
As he came nearer he saw The girl
in steamer chair beneath the shelter
Of the umbrella. She was reclining mo-
tionless, her eyes closed He stole eau
tiously up and seated himself beside
the chair Still the girl did not move
and from her regular breathing it was
apparent she had fallen asleep.
Danforth tished in his pockets and
found some cigars and a little volume
of Keats. He touched a match to one
of the former and opened the latter.
For a time he read and smoked con
tentedly while the girl in the chair
slept on.
At length he lay the book face down
on the sand and looked at the girl with
a whimsical smile curving his lips. He
blew several pufS of white smoke and
watched them drift lazily away.
1T is a great chance" he unused
softly, "a great chance. Lord knows
I'd never have the courage to talk TO
you as frankly as l intend 10 do if you

have been on my mind for some time"
He listened intently TO assure himself
that the girls regular breathing was
unchanged before he went on:

the past few years. haven't we? 1t has

Did you ever notice-hut of course
you did-what difference there is in
men in the matter of using endearins

men TO say Yes, dear" or NO. sweet

Of course. it doesn't always mean any
thing in particular That is to say. if
a man calls n girl dear" or little one"

sarily mean that he's going to propose.

Napoleon had wonderful memory
When emperor he once surprised his
council with his intimate knowledge of
Roman law and was asked how he had
obtained it, He stated that when Il
lieutenant he had once been placed I'M
der arrest and was in prison for two
weeks. During that time the only book
Mt his command was a treatise on Ro-
man law. He sat down and in two
weeks mastered the volume so com
pletely that twenty years later he could
repeat long passages from its pages.
He never forgot a face or name and
would often greet private soldiers by
their names, sometimes abiding to the
march or the battle where he had seen
them before. He kept in his head all
the details of his military movements,
and it was said of him that during the
march to Italy and Marengo he knew
where every pound of the supplies for
the use of the army was located. Ii is
said that he remembered the name of
every officer to whom he ever issued Il
commission.

Modern conflicts appear like slight
skirmishes when compared with the
battles which at different times in
past ages have laid Asia in blood. Sui
tan Mohammed marched against Gen
ghis Khan at the head of 100000 fight
ing men, and on the immense plains
outside the city of Otrar met the Tar
tar army. consisting of 100000 men
commanded by Genghis himself, as
sisted by his four sons. The Moham-
medans were defeated and Otrar was
taken. In eighteen years Genghis
Khan subdued half of China, and Hin
dustan Persia and Russia, and even
carried his victorious arms into the
heart of Korea. Genghis Khan issued
a new law. the execution Of which
compelled all his soldiers to be heroes.
He ordered the penalty of death for
those who, when called to the assist
ance of their fellow soldiers in time of
battle, should take to flight INSTEAD of
going to the rescue.
