Ancient Skates.

The English chronicler has recorded that the youth of London in the twelfth century understood the art of flying over the ice like birds in the air. but the origin of skating Is far more an cient. An Icelandic saga relates how the Norwegian hero Frithjof not only traced verses upon the polished mirror, but also cut the dear name of Inge- bord Skates have been discovered near Spandau, in Germany, which those competent to express an opinion at tribute to q period of 5000 years ago. These skates were made from bones of horses, figured and perforated to at tach to the sandal. Similar skates have be en found at Moorflelds, in Fins bury, and like discoveries have been made in Berlin in the bed of the Spree. These and similar discoveries, we learn enable the authorities to con- clude that the European ice area in prehistoric times extended from Great Britain to Finland and from Norway to Hungary.-London Globe.

"It's all so strange. SO wonderful,

Haines slowly as he held the girls

Unknown to BOTH the door leading
from the hall had opened to admit
Senator Langdon into the lower end
of the room. Surprised at the sight
of the couple, so seriously intent on
each other, he made a sudden gesture
of anger, then, apparently changing
his mind, advanced toward them.

he said to Haines. 81 hope you'll be

Senator Langdon hesitated doubtful

Randolph, observing this, quickly
stepped close to the senator's side,
saying. 81 can settle with this Mr..

about his mouth deepened.

Bud Haines stiffened at the word.
Every muscle in his body seemed to
become rigid as he mentally vowed
that he would retaliate against his ira
ducers If 1t cost him his life to do 1t.
Hope had informed him only too ac-
curately. he now realized. Little did
the senator know that what he was
now about to hear would give him one
of the severest shocks of his life.
"They told me you weren't running
straight" said Haines deliberately.
"Now. neither one of us has been
crooked. but somebody else has been,
and this was the plan to keep us
apart"
Morton told me you were speculat-
ing i'm Altacoola lands" said Langdon.
"And Norton told me the same of
you" retorted Bud.
The senator's face grew very serious.
But my daughter Miss Carolina
Langdon, confirmed Norton's story"
Haines here faced the most difficult
part Of his interview He hardly knew
how TO answer. His manhood rebelled
against placing any blame on a wo-
man. He revolted at the thought Of
running a fathers faith in his daugh-
ter's honesty. especially when that
father was the man he most admired,
a man for whom he had genuine, deep
rooted affection. But it was necessary
that the words be spoken.
Il hate to tell you, sir" he said ia
low. uncertain voice, that 1t was your
daughter Carolina who made me be-
lieve this story told about you and
vouchcd for by your son Randolph"
Langdon started back aghast He
stared at Haines and knew that he
spoke the truth Then his white head
sank pathetically Tears welled into
the eyes Of the planter. and this sturdy
old fighting man dropped weakly into
a chair. sobbing convulslvely. broken
In spirit and wearied In body.
