story of shame, perhaps? Ii so, did
Hampton know about it?
Already daylight rested white and
solemn over the silent valley, and only
a short distance away lay the spot
where the crippled scout had made
his solitary camp. Almost without vo-
lition the young officer turned that
way, crossed the stream by means of
the log, and clambered up the bank.
But it was clear at a glance that Muir
ply had deserted the spot. Convinced
of this, Brant retraced his steps to-
ward the camp of his own troop, now
already astir with the duties of early
morning. Just in front of his tent
he encountered his first sergeant

Anniversary of Anthracite.

Anthracite coal was first used for
domestic fuel in February. 1908, al
though it had been used by gunsmiths
and b1acksmiths for nearly 40 years
previously. Judge Jesse Fell, of
Wilkesbarre, Pa. adjusted a CRATE of
iron bars in the fireplace in the public
room of the Fell tavern, and proved
to his neighbors. that the black
stones" would burn without the, use
of forced draft The wyoming His
toricaf and Geological society has late
ly sent out call for the celebration
of the hundredth anniversary of this
event next February. Bituminous coal
had been used in this country long be
fore 1908. 1t was discovered near
Richmond, Va, in ITO, and mining
operations were begun in 1850 In
England. as far back as 1850, the rec
ords of the bishop of Durham show
entries of leases for the privilege OF
mining pit COAL" as it was then
called. Those who object to the pres
ent high price of anthracite may be
interested to know that soon after its
introduction as domestic fuel the price
was six and eight dollars a ton. Even
at these figures the people were
burning diamonds" for anthracite
coal is, next to the diamond itself, the
purest form of carbon found in a
natural state The best quality of an
thracite contain not more than five
per cent. of other substances.

An unusual view of the army has
lately been presented in complaint
from Washington over the decrease in
strength of the coast artillery regi-
ments. The Tenth company, for in
stance, which mustered a hundred
and one men in 1900, was able to get
out only IA in the ranks in October.
The explanation offered is that the
men in the coast artillery receive
training in some branch of mechanics
and can get employment outside at
good wages. One officer instructed his
company in the art of telephone re
pairing, and made the men so efficient
that the telephone company in the
neighboring city offered them $50 and
SO a month. and in some cases
bought the discharge of the men, sc
that they might begin work before
their enlistment expired. If the army
can train its men as effectively as this
it ought to be pretty good school

Brant's mind was chaos of con-
f1icting emotions, but single abiding
conviction never once left him-he re-
tanned implicit faith in her, and he
purposed to fight this matter out with
Hampton. Even in that crucial hour,
had any one ventured to suggest that
he was in love with Nadia, he would
merely have laughed, serenely conf
dent that nothing more than gentle
manly interest swayed his conduct
Nevertheless, he manifested an I'M
reasonable dislike for Hampton He
had never before felt thus toward this
person; indeed, he had possessed

Iy feared Hampton's power over the
innocent mind of the girl, imagining
his influence to be much stronger
than it really was, and he sought after
some suitable means for overcoming
it. He alone, among those who might
be considered as her trne friends,
knew of her secret infatuation. and
upon him, alone, therefore, rested the
burden of her release. 1t was his
heart that drove him into such de-
cision, although he conceived it then
to be the reasoning of the brain.
And SO she was Nadia Gillis, poor
