Queer Names for Horses.


A turf critic who learned to read and
write before he learned to race once made
bitter enemy of a highly respectable
Texas sportsman by having fun with the
name he gave his pet two-year-old flly
The flly was the foal Of the pet of the
ranch, Little Pearl. and the sire was Gal
lantry. The Texan called the offspring
Little Pearls of Calamity. The first and
the only time Little Pearls OF GaIlantry
started the young critic took occasion to
chide the gentleman who hung that title
on the filly. In the course of his playful
tart remarks he undertook to name the
future product Of the ranch whence came
Little Pearls of Calamity. Among the
names he suggested were Little Things to
Think About. Little Jars of Marmalade,
Little Bales of Timothy. Lizzie is Ny Hat
on Straight, Big Bib With the White Hat
and such. The Texan could not have been
more aggrieved had he been accused OF
cheating.
The combination of the names of sire
and dam often results in beautiful If mean
ingless names, but even more frequently in
laughable or absurd groups of letters.

Populous Cheese.


A professor of the Swiss dairy school at
Sonntal has compiled statistics of the num-
Der OF microorganisms found in cheese.
His experiments lead to tho conclusion
that every gram lone-thirtieth part of an
ounce) OF fresh Emmenthaler {Swiss)
cheese contains between 10000 and 100000
living germs. After two months the num-
Der has Increased to 100000. Cream cheese
contains still larger number of animal
culae, q gram harboring after three weeks
% 1000. rising to 100000 after month and
a half. These figures apply only to the
center OF the cheese. while close to the rind
families numbering $500. 900 bacteria may
be found in every gram of cheese In
about one and half pounds OF cream
cheese the professor estimates there are as
many germs as there are human beings
that all or most OF these microbes are
friendly ones. and assist in the digestive
process. We hope 30!

Some of the higher animals shed tears.
Darwin reports that the Indian elephant is
known sometimes to weep tears. One
species of monkey is also known to shed
copious tears, but it appears that the ape,
although mans nearest relative, has no
tear glands, and therefore cannot give
aqueous expression to his emotional per-
turbations.

SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS.

up and at it again, back and forth, cut
and slash, thrust and parry, until it
seemed to me that all my life long I
had been doing this thing, and that I
should continue until the end of time.
At last my anger rose again. I

lightly the next time. Put down your
sword and deliver the lady to me or
you shall die, traitor"
The word struck home. For answer
he cursed me, and came in with a great
sweeping stroke that would have cut
me in two had it reached it's mark. But
I stopped, caught his blade near my
hilt, and with strong upward lift and
throw put him off his guard. And,
though it was unwise, considering my
uncertain status with the Emperor,
was too far gone with hate and with
desperation to recede. My sword came
down with heavy, drawing stroke. It
grazed the side of his head, slicing off
an ear. 1t bit deep into the muscles Of
his thick, corded neck. 1t struck the
collar bone, shattered it, and turned in
ward. And as he staggered back and
fell. carrying down table and chair, his
blood spurted to the low ceiling and

CHAPTER v,

was not familiar with the road over
which we were travelling, and could not
afford to be reckless with its many
turns. Better that | arrive a few min
utes late than not at all. Yet the pace
the giant automobile made seemed flu
rious to Fleischmann, for presently !
heard his heavy voice in my ear:
"Gott und Himmell! 1t is too fast. .
''There is no danger" shouted back.
ST know the machine as you know
your horse"
Presently he spoke again:
1--WE shall be arrested at the chateau.
They will telephone from headquar-
ters."
1t was disagreeable thought.
Should a suspicion arise at camp as to
my intention, the rear guard at the
chateau would be ordered by wire to
arrest us. But F'leischmann rose to the
occasion, as he did so often in times of
trouble. Once more heard his voice at
my ear: -.
slack up and l will break the wire"
I glanced upward where, at the side
Sf the road, two strands of wire were
supported on iron poles or on conven-
lent trees. l had seen the signal corps
at work and knew the system. The
upper wire, of heavy copper, was the
through line, extending back across the
Meuse, into Lorraine, and thence, by
established lines, south into the Vosges
Mountains, where it connected with the
army of the Crown Prince, operating on
the southeastern border The other
wire, or iron, was a "local' running
only from the chateau to the headquar-
tiers on the Aisne River.
1t was a daring act-deliberately to
sever this line of communication. Yet
we were well into the affair now and
must see it through.

sprang from the car. The wires were
here fastened to a tall poplar. He
Skinned" up the tree, and, taking hold
of the local with both hands, swung
out upon it. The slender strand broke

But forty minutes had passed when l

Yer of white high in the trees. 1t was
the balloon case-the remnants OF La
Jaune-and I knew We were near the
end of our run.
The infantry guard at the gate recog-
nized my uniform and saluted as we
swept through the gates. At the porte
cochere set the brake, leaped from the
car and rushed into the chateau, my
sword clanking ominously behind me.
There was no change in the appear
ance of the rooms, save that they were

road and stopped in quandary.
Fleischmann left the car to examine
for tracks. There was no dearth of
these, but they covered either road,
showing that horsemen had gone in
both directions.
Fleischmann FASTENED to a small
farm house near by, and returned lead
ing a sorry-looking plough horse.
"'Tis no great affair compared with

At last I came upon them at the lit

were picketed near well. Close by six
troopers were lounging on the grass be-
meath a great tree, for the afternoon
was warm in spite of the lateness of

"Where is your Colonel"
One of them saluted, with scant re-

twenty rods up the road. Thither
hastened, my heart beating fast with
anger and hope and fear.
The room was long with low ceilings
and somewhat dark. On one side
