CHAPTER u.
The BATTING of the sparhawk.

ne 6dting OF tne SparnaWk.
Bring in the Danish Sparhawk,
and we will bait him!" said Werner.
1--WE have shown our guests poor en-
tertainment. Bring in the Sparhawk,
I say!"
Through the black oblong OF the
dungeon doorway there came lad of
seventeen or eighteen, tall, slim,
dark-browed, timber He walked be.
tween two men-at-arms, who held his
rists firmly ON either side. His hands
were chained together, and from be-
tween them dangled spiked ball that
clanked heavily on the floor as he
stumbled forward rather than walked
into the room. He had black hair
that waved from his forehead In a
backward sweep, a nose of slightly
Roman shape, which, together with
his bold eagles eyes, had obtained
him the name of the Spar or Sparrow
hawk.
Werner Won Orseln turned to his
guests and said, This Sparhawk Is a
little Dane We took on our last ,foray
to the north. 1t is only In that direc-
tion we can lead the foray. since you
have grown so law-abiding and strong
in Plassenburg and the Mark. His
uncles were all killed in the defense
OF Castle Lynar, on the Northern Haff.
We know not which of these had also
the claim of fatherhood upon him.
At all events. his grandad had man
or there. and came from the Jutland
sand.dunes to build castle upon the
Baltic shores. But he had better have
stayed at home for he would not pay

yours to be kissed by the right man,
he suggested.
We'll. IL you want to put 1t that
way you may" she returned.
But wouldn't put it just that way
May | show you how would put it?'
Il am waiting for you to do So"
He gently placed one hand against
the back of her splendidly poised head
placed the fingers of his other very
tenderly under her pretty chin, then
with a deft movement which. as far
as she was concerned, was absolutely
painless, tilted her face upward and
bending forward, completed the proc
ess with an ease and a naturalness
that left her with absolutely no cause
for criticism. After it was all over
he asked;
Wont you tell me now why you
Joined the antikissing club?"
Because - because" she sighed
there's such thrill, you know, about
doing anything that would get you
into trouble IL it were found out-and
then 1t gave me chance to introduce
the subject, too. How as 1t that you
would put it?"

When Woman Isn't .youno.

The report is that a local religious
Institution which is for young WON.
en-" has drawn the deadline of youth
at 30. Every woman over that age
will be marked 29 and requested to
skiddoo. This is painful. It Is unkind.
What is worse, 1t is impracticable. We
are glad the task Is to be performed
BY women. No man nor set of men
would ever have dared tackle such a
problem-not they. This is simply
mother example of woman's inhu.
manity to woman.
We have been told for many ages
that woman Is as old as she looks
and man is as old as he feels. Just
now, we say 1t with regret, most won.
,en look like 60 and most men feel like
Methuselah. But the general rule
seems a good one. 1t is plain, un.
palatable fact that women will deceive
as to their age as long as possible and
then openly lie about it. There are
many women who were born during
The ravages of the civil war who still
claim sweetly to be In the thirties.

The Age Of Lead.

n We are wont to speak of this err

ssIpsaying that, industrially speaking
,ron is a precious metal"
nevertheless, few people realize
how useful, IL not absolutely neces
sory to modern civilization, is that
n olber metal. lead. Soft, yielding
Opable. 1t is not much like its sister
metal. but those distinguishing quail
Z ,,es are what give 1t such a prominent
mace in the arts and Industries.
Modern plumbing, requiring many
Earnings and twistings, but withal

sibe without lead pipe. The great

what a field of usefulness that one
form opens up.
Then there is the most important
use OF all to which lead is put-paint.
That necessary material which keeps
|our houses looking pretty - inside
land out-and preserves them from
decay.
How many of us thank metallic lead
|tor the comforts of paint? Yet the
best house paint is nothing but me-
|taic lead corroded by acid to white
powder known as white lead" OF
course, there are many limitations of
white lead" some of whibh are sold
as white lead and some which are
offered by the name of ready.pre-
pared paint under the familiar pre-
tense that they are "just as good" as
white lead. But all good paint is
made of the metal, lead, corroded and
ground to a fine white powder and
mixed with linseed oil.
White lead is also used in the coat
Ing of fine oil cloths and for many
purposes besides paint.
RED lead" is another product of
metallic lead and is what is known as
an oxide Of lead, being produced by
burning the metal. Red lead Is the
best paint known to preserve iron,
steel or tin, and is used largely in
painting metal structures, such as
skyscraper skeletons, mills and
bridges.
There are many other products of

How to Meet a BURGLAR

Highwaymen are around again and
we should all make up our minds how
to behave should we meet them. One
way Is to hold out hand to the thug
and say: How are you, old man?
Glad to see you! Put 1t there!" This
perplexes him and its sous to francs
he shakes hands. Then you exclaim: :
by the way, have you got ciga-
rette?" Utterly disconnected, he offers
you one. Thus you have gained time
and employed 1t in thought. It's as
tonishing how actively the mind works
in the presence Of highwayman. In
a few seconds you have worked out a
plan. "Just moment, old man." you
say, wait till I ask one Of those chaps
back there for match."-Boston

Beating of Dead Hearts.

Hearts of cold-blooded animals will
beat for comparatively long time
after death or removal from the body
(if kept cool and moist), because of
powerful internal collections of
nerves. known as ganglia, whose au-
tomato impulses cause the regular
contractions OF the muscles. Similar
ganglia exist in man and other warm
blooded animals, but their action is
less prolonged. Scientists have as.
certained that turtles heart will beat
