all rights Daylight should have camped

over and down to Sheep Camp. while

Kama completely. In the morning he

This time the trail was easier. II
was better packed. and they were no.
carrying mail against time. At Forty
Mile they laid v e two days for the
sake OF the dogs. and at Sixty Mile
Dayli6ht's team was left with the
trader. Unlike Daylight. after the
terrible run from Selkirk to Circle
City. they had been unable to recup
crate on the back trail. So the -four
men pulled on from Sixty Mile with
a fresh team of dogs on Daylight's
sled. The following night they
camped in the cluster OF Islands at
the mouth Of the Stewart. Daylight
talked town sites, and. though the
others laughed at him, he staked the
whole maze Of high. wooded island.

"Mebbe you-all II be in on 1t, and then

Kama groaning on top the load, and
Daylight leaping at the gee-pole to
avoid going under the runner OF the
flying sled. they arrived at Dyea by
the sea. True to his promise, Day
light did not stop. An hours time saw
the sled loaded with the ingoing mail
and grub. fresh dogs harnessed and
a fresh Indian engaged. Kama never
spoke from the time Of his arrival till
the moment Daylight. ready to depart,
stood beside him to say good.by. They
shook hands.

Kama said. "savvee. Daylight? You

Soft Capped ProleetIIss.

Many persons know that certain ar.
NOR piercing shells have soft metal
caps on the point. with the result Of
greater effectiveness over those not SO
provided. but the way In which the
cap acts Is not generally well UNDER
stood. A needle may be driven Into q
board with a hammer when it is thrust
through cork. whereas It would
break on unsupported. Many have
thought that the soft cap supports the
hard point of the projecile IN The same
way. A British authority who has
given much study to the mutual action
of the projectile and armor states that
shell frequently fails because Of the
fact that a very small piece of the
point Is forced back into the mass, thus
splitting 1t. A larger Viece is then
similarly forced back. anN so on The
main advantage of the s0ft cap, in the
opinion of this authority, is to prevent
such splitting.-Harper's Weekly.
