For the first time in five years Whit
comb admitted to himself thnt he was
tired. that he had at last wearied of
throwing impossible trcstlcs across i'm
possible canyons, Of climbing the un-
cumbable and accomplishing that which
neither nature nor man ever had meant

served for a railing on the old pontoon

peaceful as It would be six months
hence. when the army of laborers
would depart, leaving only the great,
silent bridge to mark their occupancy.
Nhitcomb was frank with himself.
He did not deny in these meetings
with himself face to face that this
rcsuessness had appeared because Of
the presence of the camping party at
the Bide-a-Wcc hunting lodge up in
Smiths peak. Not that he had actual

had wandered down to the bridge,

wandered back to the camp. At dis

riding habits and outing gowns who
had given him a horseback thrill Sud
denly he wanted to get back to the
land OF sr3,Owtailcd coats and SHIN
merry frocks.
Whitcomb sighed and looked down at
his corduroys and hunting boots dis

ANCIENT BELLS.
Well known to the Egyptians Before

the jewish EXODUS
Bells were well known to the Egyp-
tians before the time Of the Jewish eX-
odus. In the description Of Aaron's
sacerdotal robe mention is made of the
fact that upon the hem Of the garment
there were bells Of gold alternating
with pomegranatcs of blue, Of purple
and of scarlet. a golden bell and a
pomegranate, a golden bell and n pome-
grauate upon the hem of the robe
round about And il shall be upon
Aaron to minister, and his sound shall
be heard when he gocth into the holy
place before the Lord and when he
cometh out, that he die not"
Hand bells were in common use all
over the ancient world The earliest
use Of bells iu churches was for the
purpose Of frightening away the evil
spirits which were believed to infest
earth and air. ana the earliest curfew
was rung ut uightfall TO rid the neigh
