When George AIDE was in Detroit last
January he called at the Detroit Free
Press to see his old friend, Henry n.
Cary. the publisher of that paper, says
Success.
They were soon engaged in discus
sion of Carys favorite hobby-the col
lection of curios and antiques. Half
an hour later an uplifting of reporters
heads Indicated that the guest was
leaving, accompanied by the 'old man, ;"
who was engaged in an enthusiastic
description of certain mahogany shay
ing mirror
Together they jOurneyed out to the
Cheapside of Michigan ave-
nue-to the store of a dealer in sec
ond-hand goods, named Lareau. Here
the mirror was to be found.
Abe inspected it carefully and found
II to be all that Cary had claimed for
lt-a fine type of the so-called colo
nial" period of furniture making. The
price was $40. and AIDE at once agreed
to take IL.
In big, round handwriting he
wrote his name and the address of his
Indiana farm upon Lareaus much-be-
thumbed order book and instructed
aim TO ship the mirror at once. No
mention was made of how or when pay
ment was to be made.
Late that afternoon the telephone in
Mr.. Cary's office rang. Mr., Cary an
swered and the following dialogue en-
sued
hello, Mr. Cary; this is Lareau.

was In here with YOU"

"Ah; thought 1T was Abe, and

CHAPTER VII.

The morning dew lay glistening on the
leaves, tipped each blade of grass with a
shining jewel, nestled in every cup-like
flower. The birds twittered to their lit
tie ones, making happy plans for the
day And Idl, no longer sad, tripped
across the daisied meadow towards the
gicarage.
She was going straight to Billy. She
had new. glad thought in her heart,
and she meant that he should share it.
Her feet carried her lightly, her heart
bounded at every step she took. Her
hands were filed with peoples when she
came upon William Daryl, who was
driving mower savagely over his
fathers lawn. She let them drop, and
stood before him, radiant. 1t was hap
plness that illumined her. William
Daryu wondered why. He wondered still
more when she said softly
Good morning, Billyl I think that
you may kiss mel do indeed"
He blushed, for he was young and
easily surprised; and Lii laughed, in an
enchanting fashion, and blushed too.
Then she slipped her arm through his,
and they left the peoples and the lawn
mower, and sought a sidewalk
Billy had kissed her a great many
times, and she had returned his kisses
before he said
why may kiss you, dear? What
has changedf"
Nothing has changed, but everything
is going to change. We are only little

He did not see in the least, and he
told her so. They we're sitting on a

together. Lii patted his hand indul-

One of the recent tributes laid upon
the bier Of the dead naval hero, Rear
Admiral Coghlan, is in the form Of
a thrilling story Of the late admirals
early days. A bluff old sea captain,
Commander Platt of Washington, re-
Gently told of the experience and in
its telling there was nothing of sensa
ti0n-it was just an affectionate ties
timOny to n brave man by one who
knew him in his youth and shared
with him some Of the dangers of civil
war.
The incident occurred during Dahl
green's time, when Sherman was on his
famous march to the sea. Every effort
was made by the Federal forces to
effect a junction with gherman's army.
The ocean and its estuaries had been
carefully sounded and explored to
guard against distractions to the ships
and avoid their determination by hid
den mines.
Capt. Balch, afterward rear ad-
miral, with his flagship, the Pawnee,
was with the mosquito feet" off the
coast Of Charleston. He had carefully
explored the depths Of Port Royal
sound, and wishing to probe still
farther, sent for Robert Platt then
attached to the United States coast
and geodetic survey and now retired
commander Of the United States Navy.
who had sounded and chartered the
Atlantic coast from Maine to the Gulf
Of Mexico and knew more perhaps of
its treacherous depths than any other
man living.
'Platt." said the captain, II have
sent for you because | want to find
out more about what the JOhnnles arc
doing and have done up on Tullifnney
river. ] am inclined to to believe they
have been busy up there lately. and
unless we discover how there may be
reckoning later on"
We'll, captain" said Plat, I'll take
a boat and some boys and explore"
He did, and later, after two days
and night Of creeping in and out
here and there along The line Of the
river he discovered a mud fort well
manned, with guns enough to make
trouble for any Of the little feet Of
Federal gunboats that dared up that
way.
He found more To obstruct the
passage Of the river and practically
ground the little boats until they could
be shot to smithereens the Confeder-
ates had sunk piles on either side Of
the river right under the very nose Of
their guns. As the means Of detecting

CHEESE THAT'S NOT CHEESE.
DR.. Wiley Tears OFF the Mask from
Soaked Curdn

The question of when a cheese Is not
a cheese has been bothering many peo-
pie for a long time, but the bureau of
chemistry has at last come out flat-foot-
ed on the subject and has decided that
cheese is not a cheese when il is
soaked curd."
Every now and then a Sunday school
picnic goes out loaded to the gunwale
with cheese sandwiches--so ii thinks,
But for untold years the pupils have
been sitting under the boughs of the
leafy trees, sitting on the soft green
sward where the ants and the other lit
tie creeping things can get between neck
and collar-and have been unwittingly
eating soaked curd.
Many, May quiet little welsh rare
bit parties have declared TO a man that
the cheese was just the best ever, and
each fellow has made a mental note of
the name of the grocer-but il was
soaked curd. Many a delicate nose has
chased out of an unventilated grocery
store or deicatessen shop thinking all
the while that the trouble lay with the
cheese-but it was soaked curd.
DIR. Wiley of the bureau of chemistry
said yesterday that the pseudo-cheese
is produced bv soaking the curd at a
certain stage IN cold water, draining il
and putting the curd to press
This treatment is for fraudulent pur-
poses. 1t produces an undue amount Of
water in the cheese and thus increases
the weight. 1t gives a soft texture and
an appearance Of superior quality and
deceives the purchaser"
So. hereafter. the soaked curd makers
will have to label their product differ

Ard over on the wooded height we held
their lines at bay.
AT last the muttering guns were still the

AT last the gunners pipes did fill, the ser

When, as the wind moment blew aside

Our briarwoods raised within our view a
