the close, "Parbleu! I recolisct, You
killed the Comte de Miron!" Then
suddenly his face chaDgcdg--The hush
Of anger died away. and. rising slowly,
he approached Tonti.
"Capitaine Tonti, you have shown
me my fault" he said humbly. Il
have q thousand pardons to beg Of you
for my conduct since my arrival. Your
attitude in everything has been COM
mendable. Your last alternative has
DO force with me. A brave foe de-
mands ones admiration. That you are
brave I well know. A generous enemy
commands ones respect. That you are
generous you have shown by the de-
struction of my written promise. Let
us be rivals no longer; may WI not be
friends?" And with an engaging smile
the young man thrust forth his hand
impulsively. His voice rang true, and
| Tonti grasped the proffered eYidence OF
goodwill.

to Pompon and B~oisrondet, their zeal
In their superior's cause Is worthy OF
my thanks. God grant l find such
faithful ones always around me-"
Tonti was about to reply when a
sound Of shouting was heard in the
yard of the fort and he heard his
name called. Soon the sound Of run
ming steps was heard shutting over the
hard ground, the voices came nearer,
the door burst open, and the figure OF
a young chief darted into the room.
Blood streamed down his breast from
a fearful wound, while a cash across
his head showed that he had been
scalped. He stopped before Tonti an
instant. 1.-THE I%roquois!" he cried

convulsive shudder lay still.

THE WHITE PAINT or THE
WHITE HOUSE.

The White House at Washington,
which has been the kings Palace
of the American People since 1t was
first occupied by President Madison
in 1909, has recently undergone o
thorough course Of remodelling, reno.
walton and repair. Every American
citizen Is owner of an undivided
eighty or e~ighty-five millionth part OF
the White House, as well as of the
other Public Buildings and Monuments
In the Capitol City. An item in the
renovation of the remodelled White
House was r~epainting. Every visitor
to Washington knows why the White
House Is so called-because 1t Is lit
orally a white house. The exterior
paint must therefore be white. Now
while the pure white surfaces and sim
pie lines Of the White House, set in
the midst of green lawns and beautt
full trees, produce a very satisfying
effect Of dignifled simplicity, white
paint from a practical point Of view.
is about the most unsatisfactory kind
Of paint that could have been selected
by the original designers. First, be.
cause any white paint is easily dis.
colored by smoke and dust, and sec.
ond, because ordinary white paint
itself gradually turns gray or brown.
ish yellow from exposure.
But white the White House Is and
white 1t must remain or it would no
longer be the white House. So the
renovators, making the best Of a dis.
couraging situation, sought for the
best kind of white paint procurable.
The average citizen If asked to guess
what kind Of paint they finally decid.
ed on would probably answer-"white
lead and OIL" but he would guess
wrongly. The paint selected as the
best obtainable was a ready mixed
paint, such as can be bought in any
we'll furnished village store, such as
is used by more than half of the
eighty or eighty-five million owners
of the White House on their own
homes. That one brand of mixed
paint was used instead of another IL
a mere accidental d~etail-there are
fifty or a hundred brands on the
market that might have been selected
in other circumstances, and in fact
a different brand was used in paint
ing the Capitol.
Every property owner, therefore
who paints his house with a high
grade ready-mixed paint is following
the example set by the Government
Authorities at Washington, who used
ready-mixed paint, because they could
find nothing else as good.

the rivalry anc Ill-feeling between
Tonti and the chevalier, and the sense
Of security that seemed to fill the
minds of all the allies. They deter
mined upon an immediate advance,
after sending their spy back to mingle
again with the unsuspectirg victims,
and render what assistance he could
at the assault upon the fort which
would have to be taken. A young
Miami, wandering to the east on the
trail of a bear. had been suddenly Aur-
rounded. scalped. and left for dead. He
had revived, and managed, despite hiS
wounds, to reach the fort ahead Of tho
approaching enemy.
Tonti Immediately sounded the
alarm. The fort vas manned by all the
soldiers and a few Indians, among
whom was the Iroquois spy; messen-
gers were sent to recall the hunting
party; the women and children were
all taken to an island near the further
side Of the river. A barricade was
hastily erected some quarter Of a mile
from the fort; scouts were dispatched
to learn the position Of the enemy,
Thus the remainder Of the night was
spent. The light of the burning lodges
of those tribes situated farthest from
the fort was seen. indicating that the
~IroQuois were advancing. Day dawned
and the scouts returning announced
that the enemy were about 1900
strong, and lay In ambush less than Q
mile away. They reported that the
expedition seemed to be led by a white
chief called LIS Loup." Tonti AMI

Work on the barricadc, which waA
semi-circuiar in shape, went rapidly On
during the day. Tonti had expected
10 take command Of this portion of his
force himself, but the chevalier in
terposed, pray give me the post. as
q token Of our reconciliation and to
AFFORD me an opportunity Of proving
my qualities as a soldier. You can
best direct the whole defense IRON the
fort; besides, I think you ars needed
there"
Tonti reluctantly consented. He Or
dered a succession of b~rush-heaps to
be prepared between the fort and the
barricade SO that IL the attack came
at night, as IL probably would, the light
from them would aid the defenders.
He went about among his Indian al
lies, assigning them positions and en-
couraging them. There was evident
need Of this latter work, for he found
that the hostile approach II the Iro-
guois had brought back memories Of
past raids, and that the old terror OF
the hated nam had been awakened.
The French soldiers, being more ac-
customed to fighting with long range
weapons, were kept to guard the fort.
The remaining whites, the priests
Renee, and the nuns were also among
those on the top Of the rock. They
prepared quarters for the wounded, and
made all ready to attend those whom
the coming fight would render fit sub
jects for their care.
The sounds Of preparation had
ceased. All was in readiness. Evetv
eye Of the defenders was strained
through the gathering twilight to catch
sight Of the first signs of attack. The
u had set In a cloudy sea of blood,
a fact that was noted by the Indians
with en- ominous shake Of the head.
From across the river came the even
ing pipings of drowsy birds. A whip
poor-will was heard to call; a chorus
Of frogs added their deep bass-note to
the even-song Of nature. Suddenly a
savage yell was heard, answered by
another from the tree shade facing the
barricade. In an instant the quiet
scene wa changed. A thousand dusky
figures leaped from their h~iding-places
and rushed across the clearing. A
thousand arms brandishing gun or bat
tle-ax. A thousand threats poured
forth a volume of demoniac sound. He'|
was broken loose; the battle was on.
An answering yell came from behind
the barricade, whose r~ed-skinned do
tenders danced up and down working
themselves into a frenzy to meet the
coming hand-to-haud conflict. The
chevalier had given orders to the front
row of his force, who were armed with
! guns, not to fire until the enemy had
come within ten feet of them. This
order was obeyed, and the invading
line had almost reached the barricadt
before a shot was fired. The l-oquo,s

Reducing Cost of Liquid Air.

Reduced cost OF liquid-air produc-
tion Is Indicated by an article In the
London Times. Recent experiments
In England of an invention by Mr.
knudsen, Dane. furnished LIQUID

kot price. and gave promise OF an
ultimate low price OF fraction over
2 cents per gallon. The result Is
secured by purely mechanical means.
without an atom OF added chemicals.
Atmospheric air Is first purified and
then compressed by stages to $500
pounds 60 the square inch. IL Is
finally reduced 10 1875 pounds 20 the
square inch. which then cools and
iiQuenes the high-pressure air.
The oxygen gas produced by sep
arating the nitrogen from the LIQUID
air Is claimed 20 be purer than by
the old method. and can be supplied
In the liquid AS well as the gaseous
form. One gallon OF liquid-alr
equals approximately isS cubic feet
OF oxygen gas, which retails at 6
cent per cubic foot. The new price
is cent. LiQuid-air has been sue
cessfully used In coal mines as an
explosive, being quite safe where fre

exist. Liquid oxygen Is also used
for welding steel pipes. boiler shells
