THE BR BATTLE.

tBy Joaquin Miller.l
The bravest battle that ever was
fought.
Shah I toll you where and when?
ON the maps ct the world You viii
find 1t not.
1t was fought 10y the mothers OF
men.
Nay. not with cannon or battlcship-
With sword or nohler pen;
Nay, not with eloquent word or that,
From mouths OF wonderful men.
But deep in q walled up won1an's
heart
OF woman that would not yield
But patiently. silently bore her part,
So there is that battlefield.
No marshalling troops, mo btNouac
song:
NO banner to CLEAN and wave.
And OH these battles they last so long,
From babyhood 90 the grave.
Yet faithful still rs q bridge of stars;
She fights in her walled up town.
Fights on and on in the endless wars.
and silent, unseen goes down.

CHAPTER xxx.
In the Dining Room.

~
That was Saturday night, two weeks
after the wreck. The previous five
days had been full of swift-following
events-the woman in the house next
door, the picture in the theater OF a
man about to leap from the doomed
train, the dinner at the Dallaes, and
Richey's discovery that Alison was
the girl in the case. In quick success
sion had come our visit to the Carter
place, the finding OF the rest OF the
telegram, my seeing Alison there, n
the strange interview with Mrs. Con-
way. The Cresson trip stood out In
my memory for its serio-comic horrors
and its one real thrill. Then-the dis
covery by the police of the sealskin
bag and the bit of chain; Hotchkiss

Halley's Comet.

People who are early risers thes,
fine mornings can now get gooc
view of the celebrated comet which
has interested and startled the WORLD
ut regular intervals for ages. The
comet is now well above the horizon
10y $3.50 O'Clock in the morning, and
can be seen a little to the left and
above the morning star Venus.
Those who feared that the comet
would not develop the long tail that
the scientists and the books tell us
that it trails across the sky have
their fears greatly relieved, for the
tail is plainly in evidence, and it is
rapidly assuming the proportions
that were promised.
In another week, if the scientists
are right in their calculations, the
earth will pass through the comets
tail, but nobody will be conscious of
the exact time when the passage oc-
cures. BY the 18th of the month
the comet will be plainly visible in the
evening sky. and it will then be seen
at it's best, SO that people who pre-
Ter to remain comfortably in bed
these cool mornings need have no
fear that they will miss an opportu-
nifty to get good view of the celes-
tial visitor that allows such long in
tervals as seventy-five years to in
tervene between its visits. Every
moment OF the time that the celebrat-
el comet will he visible it will be un-
