When High School Learning Came in

Il used for the first time today
something learned Is years ago, said
writer in the Milwaukee Sentinel.
1T was the application of a principle
in geometry in relation to the inscrib.
ing of a hexagon in a circle, which I
learned when at the high school. had
an order placed for some taborets

the party that gave me the order

that was easy enough to fill, but be-
side that the sides were to be heXa-
gonal, so had to sit down and figure
out how much five-eighths-inch wood
would have to be leveled off to have
the parts fit exactly. Here is where

that he once used fact which had
lain dormant for IA years. so have
him beaten by year.
you often hear people say What Is
the use of learning this? seeing no use
for it at the time, but things which
at, the time seem most impracticable
are often later of use. That is one of
the complaints in our public schools,
but as in my case 1t may some day
prove Of use"

1t was west, therefore, that the
young soldier rode, his mind in a
turmoil as to whether Strathgate
had run away with Mistress Deborah
or Lady Ellen, and his soul filled with
hot Indignation against his host on
a number of counts.
Neither Of them knew that two
hours before a muddy, blood-stained
man, riding horseback upon a coach
horse from which the traces and
other parts Of harness had been cut,

had galloped in that direction.

CHAPTER VIII.
Sir Charles Picks Up the Course.


1t is necessary that We take up the
course of the different actors in the
drama seriatim until they converge
at some point which shall be the
focus of all their directions.
1t was about eight o'clock when
Darlington and Seton left the hall,
turning their backs upon one another,
in beginning this famous man and
woman hunt. Seton, mounted on his
best horse, covered the ground at a
great pace. Naturally he made much
better time than Strathgate had, for
all his furious driving Of the bays.
1t was half past nine when at bend
in the road he came upon the over
turned carriage. Here was tangible
evidence that he was On the right
track. He brought his horse to full
stop and dismounted to examine into
the situation.
The cause of the accident was obvi.
Gus to the simplest mind. He was not
content with determining that, how
ever. So he inspected the carriage
with the minutest care. He was not
long in discovering the hole made by
Ellen's pistol ball through the seat,
and he instantly OWNED that some
one in the carriage had tried to kill
the driver.
