So saying the major wheeled and

Colonel John sat down on the floor.
He seemed to be wrapped In medi-

Some persons claim to tell the state
OF mind Of a smoker by his manner
Of sending out the rings OF smoke.
II there is truth In this Colonel
John must have been thinking at n
furious rate. for he puffed vigorously
at his cigar. and surrounded himself
with quite n cloud of smoke.
There was deep design back Of his
action. as he carried out brilliant
scheme that had flashed into his mind
some time before.
Tho rapid smoking created n glow
Ing spot OF fire at the end OF the cigar.
and as John bent forward he raised
his hands. applying the burning end
OF the cigar to the cord.
Fire has accomplished wonderful
things before now. and It served
Johns purpose.
