A Capful of Wind.

The origin of the phrase, "A capful
Of wind" can be traced to a Morse
king, Eric VI. who died in 907 A. D.
He was credited with the useful power
Of directing the wind to blow where be
wished by the simple method of turn
ing his cap to that point Of the COM
pass. His powers were much appreci-
ated and trusted and resulted in his
being known as windy cap" There is
no evidence as to whether he could reg
ulate the force Of the wind as well as
the direction. Presumably he could, or
his faithful believers would not have
been so many. A "bagful Of wind" is
another common expression and indi-
Gates something like gale. This has
been traced down to the classical leg
end of Aeolus and his captive winds
confined in bags.

Leonard Hutt's Vow
(Original.1

tOr1glnal.I
Leonard HUT was a very cOnscien,
tious young man. Had he been born
200 years ago he would have been an
anchorite of the most austere type
Leonard lived in q small village with
his widowed mother, to whom he was
devoted, having little or nothing to do
with the softer sex. Since he was q
fine looking fellow and had the reputa-
ton of being intellectual and strong
character, his seclusion was very an
noying to the girls Of the place, most
Of whom would have been very glad of
his slightest attention.
During the shooting season HUT
went off into the woods to get bird
for his mother, whose health and appe-
tite were delicate. He came back
without the bird, but with very dis
tressed mind. What had happened no
one knew, but the news was soon
spread over the village that Leonard
HUT was doing some sort Of penance.
He had sworn to taste nothing but
bread and water, not to attend any
sort of amusement and not to speak.
How long this self imposed deprivation
was to last was not known.
Now, if Mr.. HUT had only known it
the real penance he had taken upon
himself was of far greater moment
than the one he had intended. There
were not less than ten unmarried girls
in the village, and every girl was at
once seized with a desire to compel
the penitentiary to speak to her. Not
one Of them but would have regarded
the effort of any other to make him
break his vow as an objectionable sin
Each considered that in her own case
there were exceptional reasons except
Rebecca Gordon, who had no con
science in the matter and who began
laying traps from the moment she
heard Of the vow.
One afternoon Leonard was walking
along a road when he was startled by
a cry and a short distance before hin
saw woman lying on the ground. He
hurried up to her and saw Rebecca
Gordon helpless with sprained ankle.
"Oh, Mr.. Hutt,' she walled, ''wha
shall dO?"
HUT asked with his eyes as express
lively as possible what was the matter.
1--WE either broken or sprained my
ankle" she said.
Leonard looked very much embar
raised and put his fingers to his lips tt
Indicate that they were sealed. Rebec
cas- pretenSe not to understand hi:
motion was all the more embarrassing
to him, but he held to his silence and a
last by pantomime indicated that h
would carry her home in his arms. II
this she objected for awhile, hoping b.
complicating matters to force him t.
speak. But at last she gave in, he tool
her up and carried her home. He hat

On the third day of the fight l felt

for a few minutes, then sank down and
In time was carried to the rear on
stretcher. A temporary hospital had
been set up in a field, which was
crowded with wounded. Some OF the
nurses l had seen during my illness
were there, but it was no place for
we'll persons save surgeons, who were
cutting and saving in the manner usu-
al at battle.
One sight l saw maddened me. Ku-
rata had been severely wounded, and
kneeling beside him, holding his hand
and encouraging him while he waited
for II surgeon to attend him, was Cher
ry. Presently she went to one Of the
surgeons, and 1 saw that she was
pleading with him to go to her lover,
for could not doubt that such was the
relation between her and Zurata. The
surgeon went with her and, unbuttOn-
ing the wounded mans coat, ripped
open his shirt. Cherry was between
me and the wounded man, so that
could not see what was going on, but
there were some words between the
surgeon and Cherry, who got blanket
and held it between Kurata and the
rest Of us.
l supposed that Kurata was liable to
die under the extraction Of the bullet
or whatever the surgeon should do to
him, but in field hospital filled with

her fist at him and declared that she
would yet break down his resolution.
No sooner had another Of the girls,
Alice Waters, heard Of the young mans
VOW than she began aSSiduOuSly to cul-
tivare his mother with view to effect
ing an entrance to the house and laying
siege to him. When Leonard reached
home after his adventure with Miss
Gordon he went into his library and,
tired and fretted, threw himself on a
lounge. A cough admonished him that
some one was in the room, and, looking
about him, he saw Miss Waters sitting
by window. She had been sewing,
but had dropped her work and looked
painfully embarrassed.
II didn't mean to intrude, Mr.. HUT, +"
she said ruefully. Your mother said
you wouldn't be at hOme for another
hour, and just came in for moment
to get the light through this window"
HUT stood looking so much embar-
raised that he could not say anything
pleasant, while the girl waited. Then
she began to pout
Il didn't suppose" she said, that
you would mind"
A happy thought occurred to the per-
secuted man. He went for his mother,
who did his talking for him, and Miss
Waters retired discounted.

girls, none Of whom confessed to an
other what she was doing. Rebecca
Gordon followed up her attack with
the most persistence. She tried every
salve known to druggists for her pre-.

HUT to ask his opinion Of each one OF
them.
"Mr. HUT" she said at one Of these
visits-she was lying on couch dress
ed in a becoming wrapper-'if you'll
tell me why you made your vow I'll
never ask you another question"
HUT grOaned and said nothing.
Tell me-" she pleaded with her red
lips as we'll as her eloquent eyes.
Hutt's eyes were on a clock that
stood on the mantel. In few minutes
the CLOCK struck L.. HUT neaVed

Miss Gordon threw off an afghan an(

HUT, astonished both at her rising ani

The Jap Veterans Story
[Original.l

lOr1glnal-l
Lieutenant 10 Kurata occupied pc
culiar position with our forces in Man.
churia. He was the most effeminate
man for a soldier l ever knew. The
army is no place for gentlemen, at least
without bravery, and many of US felt
contempt for Kurata. Nevertheless
there was something about him that at
tracted us. We had not seen him in ac-
tion and did not know how he would
behave: therefore l for one was dis
posed to suspend judgment.
But circumstances prevented my re-
naming in this dispassionate mood to-
ward Kurata. He was taken i'll and
removed to the hospital. Soon after l
also was obliged to go under the care
of the surgeons and was taken to the
same hospital and put in the same
ward as he There were several volun-
teer nurses in attendance, young ladies'
of good families in Hakodate, who Hit
ted here and there among US like an
gels. Among them was one who to me
was especially charming. Her name
translated into your language would
be Cherry. There is little of the cherry
in our Japanese compilations, but there
was a slight tinge of red in Cherry's
cheeks, and her eyes were very bright.
She was especially kind to me, and
learned to look eagerly for her coming
to my bedside. Indeed when she was
absent | was miserable.
That | loved Cherry was revealed to
me in this wise: Kurata occupied cot
opposite mine, and one morning L saw
Cherry go to him and ask how he was
getting on. / saw tears in his eyes as
he replied. Tears in the eyes OF a SOL
dier | gave way to the contempt L
had thus far repressed. Then | saw
Cherry take his hand, press it warmly
md look tenderly in eyes that respond
ed with equal tenderness. Instinctively
| felt for my sword, which,, of course,
was not at my side. That is how l
learned that | loved Cherry.
We We're getting ready for fight.
and | insisted on being discharged
from the hospital that | might take
my place at the front. Before setting
forth | could not refrain from saying
some i'll natured words to Cherry about
the sympathy that was passing be-
tween her and Kurata. l was so dis
agreeable about it that Cherry told me
to mind my own business. That bust
ness being to fight, | went forth to kill
as many Russians as possible.
This was just before the battle Of
Liaoyang Kurata reiOined us before
the fight opened, and, though his health
was fairly well restored, his spirits
were much depressed. He seemed to
me to be nerving himself to meet the
trying ordeal in store for all of us.
When that ordeal came l saw him eX-
posing himself recklessly during the
heat of the fight, but when our part in
it was over he collapsed. We who had
watched his bravery with surprise and
