Behind the Rock.
by Thomas Foye.

Major Davis had the reputation &C
being martinez. and whenever a
private soldier found himself before
court-martial he would make up
his mind that II the major had a
voice In the matter he was as good
as convicted.
There were those who excused the
ohicer's harshness on the ground
that he belonged to the old school
the school that looked upon the rank
and Ale as dogs-but the fact re-
mained that he was not popular with
either his officers or his men.
Affairs In the Indian country were
at peace when the post commander
at Fort Brown applied for and So
cured long leave OF absence, and
Major Davis was ordered to take
charge in his place. In less than an
hour later he began to Issue general
orders. and groan OF discomfort was
heard throughout the garrison.
Then began what was character
lied as "a fum-a-diddle time" The
lines OF discipline were rigidly drawn
and the drills were frequent and eX-
acting. The finger of the martinez
pointed In many directions. and the
men who growled went to the guard
house on trot.
At all military posts there are
few favored men-men who suffer
now and then from old wounds or
have performed brave deeds, and are
tacitly allowed to take things easy.
Such a man was private Tom Cor
man at Fort Brown. Two bullets had
been fired into him as he rode with
dispatches across the plains one
night. and though Cot incapacitated
as soldier he was given light duty
and coddled up q bit.
The coddling ceased soon after the
majors arrival. He was on the look
| out for such men. They were re-
| turned to duty. and even given ex-
ira duty. and the mild protests OF
captains and ieutenants we're met
with the formal roply:
This Is military post. not
hospital. and no man. unless excused
| by the doctor at sick-call, will be
exempt from duty"
Private German returned to duty
with complaint. and subsequent
events proved that the martinez had
a special eye on him. He was twice
reprimanded during company drill
one day. and following that he was
placed on sentry duty and took his
post at midnight In rainstorm.
1t was an inside post and OF no
consequence. The wounded man took
the chance OF getting under shelter
for a abort time. The major went
the round that night. caught him
derelict and saw him hustled off to
the guardhouse.
Private German did not serve out
his sentence Of 80 days in the guard
house. When he had served Ave days
he was assisted to escape He was
furnished with a carbine and food,

FIBRE sATURATiON.
The Effect of Moisture Upon Wood
Is Easily Perceptible..

The effect of water i'm softening or
ganic tissue as in wetting piece or
paper or sponge, is well Known, and
50 Is the stiffening effect of drying.
The same law applies to wood. BY
dinerent methods of seasoning two
pieces of the same stick may be given
very different degrees OF strength.
Wood in it's green state contains
moisture in the pores of the cells,
like honey in "A comb and aIso in the
substance of the cell walls. AS seas
oning begins the moisture in the pores
is first evaporated. This lessons the
weight of the wood, but does not at
feet it's strength.
1t is not until the moisture in the
substance OF the cell walls is drawn
upon that the strength of the wood
begins to increase Scientifically. this
point is known as the fiber satura-
tion point" From this condition To
that of absolute dryness the gain in
the strength of wood is somewhat re-
markable.
In the case of spruce the strength
is multiplied four times; indeed,
spruce, in small sizes. thoroughly
dried in an oven, Is as strong weight
for weight, as steel. Even after the
reabsorption of DISTURB, when the
wood Is again exposed to the air the
strength of the sticks is still from 30
to $50 per cent greater than when it
is green.
When, in drying the nber-satura-
tion point is passed. the strength OF
wood increases as drying progresses,
In accordance with definite law, and
this law can be used to calculate from
the strength of stick at one degree
OF moisture what it's strength will be
at any other degree
Manufacturers. engineers and build
ers need to know not only the strength
but the weakness of the materials
they use, and for this reason they are
quite as much interested in knowing
how timbers are affected Uy moisture
as they are in knowing how they are
weakened by knots, chechS, cross
grain and other defects
It is clear that where timbcrs are
certain to be weakened Dy excessive

larger sizes for safety.
So far, engineers of timber tests,
while showing that small pieces gain
ed greatly in strength, do not advise
counting on the same results in the
seasoning of large timbers. owing to
the fact that the large timbers usually
found In the market have defects

to kill the man responsible. 1t was
for this reason that he fingered near
the fort.
Almost every morning the major
rode down TO the boiling spring,
three miles down the rough trail,
and there were so places where he
could be ambushed. The spot select
ed was big rock alongside the trail
and Tom was on watch there tho
morning after his escape.
1t was seven o'clock before the
echoes OF the iron-shod hoofs OF the
majors horse reached his ears, and
an instant later he was peering out
from behind the rock
1t was the major. alone on the
trail No one was in sight In either
direction.
AS the soldier made ready with
his carbine the major let fall his
reins and drew a letter from his
pocket. AS he did so photograph
fell from the letter to the stony high
way unnoticed by him. Queer as II
may seem. curiosity about that pho
tograph overbalanced Tom Gorman's
and he let the officer pass
A minute later he had the card In
his hand. 1t was the picture OF lit
tie girl not over five years old--a
sweet faced little thing-and under
meath WAS written From Elsie TO
Papa"
No soldier at Fort Brown had
asked OF could know whether their
martinez was a married man or not.
They had not discussed his home ties
only his discipline. Here was
new factor In the case. German crept
back to his ambush with his eyes
fixed on the face, and his own feat
ures began to soften.
From Elsie to Papa he repeated
over and over again.
Private German found his heart
In his throat He was not a father,
but he was lover of children. He'd
have given three months pay to pick
Elsie up In his arms and give her a
kiss.
You amt to blame for It, little
one. Whatever he is to us, and badly
as he's used me. he loves you and
you him. and / can't break your
heart trying TO get even. I'm here to
XIII him, and / was going to do IL
when he came back. but you're too
sweet thing to be left fatherless.
The major came riding back. his
eyes On the ground as II looking for
some lost object. At the rock he
halted
III you hadn't lost Il you would
have been lying out there with a bull
let through your heart!" whispered
German as he rose and looked after
the disappearing major.
And then. thrusting the photo
graph into his breast pocket. he
sbouldered his carbine, gave himself
a shake. and headed for the land of
the outlaw and the deserter.

OF the team leaves the road without
giving such signal. then it is pre-
sumed that ne is looking out for
himself. and the driver of the auto
mobile is no longer responsible.
The situation is one that will give
more or less trouble for a while bpt
1t will soon regulate itself. AS far
back as oS or 70 years ago, buggy
was almost as scary thing along
the road as an automobile is now. II
was not great while until horses
got accustomed to buggies. All
people who have been noticing de-
velopments are aware that when all
tomobiles first made their appear
ance in the towns, all the horses
were afraid of them. Now the
town horse that is afraid is the ex-
ception, and most of the country
horses are also being educated up to
the point where they are no longer
annoyed by automobiles.
We are not insensible of the fact
that the automobile is still source
OF irritation to drivers of teams, and
we recognize that this condition will
obtain for some time. 1t is quite
likely that the automobile will still
be the occosion of runaway acci-
dents. maybe loss of life and GER
tlinly lawsuits: but it is just as we'll
to look upon the situation in a sane.
philosophical manner. 1t is a con-
dition that has to be adjusted
which can only be adjusted by time
and experience. and the best thing
is to be broad and reasonable.

THE DISPENSARY INVESTIGATION

Just as we expected, as soon as
the break came, there is descending
flood of eliminating evidence in
the matters of the old State dis
pensary, and while we are very sor-
ry for those good men who have
been touched by the flow of the
pitch we are very glad that it has
shown that the State has determin-
ed to root out the corruption that
existed and put up a danger signal
for all other public servants. We
have no doubt but that the gentle
men who were concerned in the rot
ten deals thought that they were do
ing no ore an injury, they were only
doing what others had done. We
know how very invidious the tempt
er in such matters is, and how easy
it is to be misled. These things do
not come as bribes. they Just hap

Hampton county, where an innocent
legislator unwittingly sold his vote
tof shotgun. The difficulty is to
keep out of the pitfalls that line the
path of the public servant who has
patronage in his way. Temptation
comes dressed so beautifully that
you never recognize it until it is too
iate. The most peculiar thing about

whiSxey houses to the men who
had robbed them, and that is where

TIL: NEW CUBAN CENSUS

While not yet officially published
some interesting information has
been given out as to the new censu
recently taken in Cuba. For one
thing. it is shown, contrary to the
general impression, that there are
comparatively few Americans in the
Island Republic, not quite 1000 in
all. according to the new census.
The new census. it is said, will
show a population of nearly D.
OSO,OO0. Of this number l,225.OOO
are native whites and 2CA.OCof foreien

THE AUTOMOBILES

The Yorkville Enquirer has an ed
itorial on automobiles which is so
sensible that we reproduce it in full:
We are not going to try to tell
anybody that it is plea. ant to meet
putting, shooting automobile on
the road while driving a team of
horses and mules that are unaccus-
toned to this new c,aimant 70 rights
on the highways; but still! we don't
mind saying that there is common
disposition to be just little too i'll
LIBERAL with reward to the matter.
There are automobile owners who.
have but little regard for the rights
or for the comfort Of other people.
They show disposition to bowl
along as if they owned the earth,
and they conduct themselves in
way that indicates that they would
greatly enjoy seeing teams run away,
smash buggieS or wagons and throw
drivers over board to broken legs or
arms: but these kind of people are
the exception to the rule. The aver
age automobile owner is inclined to
be as considerate of other people S
rights as of his own, and he is not
to be taken as either nuisance or a
menace.
