press. This is called half mast" Did
you ever stop to think what connec-
ton there could be between a flag
that vas not properly hoisted and the
death of a great man?
Ever since flags we're used in war ii
has been the custom to have the flag
of the superior Dr. conquering nation
above that of the inferior or vanquish'
ed. When an army found itself hope
lessly beaten it hauled its flag down
far enough for the flag of the vietors
to be placed above it on the same
pole. This was a token not only OF
submission, but of respect.
In those days when a famous sol
der died flags we're lowered out OF
respect to his memory. The custom
long ago passed from purely mill
tary usage to public life Of all kinds,
the flag flying at half mast being a
sign that the dead man was worthy
of universal respect. The space left
above it is for the flag Of the great
conqueorr of all-the angel OF death.

body of water was fed by the melting
snow from the crest and peaks, which
in the clear, pure sunshine and rari-
fed air of the mountains seemed to
rise and confront her within a stones
throw of the place where she stood.
On one side of the pretty lake In
the valley, or pocket, beneath, there
was a little grassy clearing, and there
the dweller in the wilderness a

a rough bench by the side Of the door
she saw the primitive conyeniences to
which he had alluded. The water
was delightfully."- soft and as 1t had
stood exposed to the suns direct rays
for some time, although the air was
exceedingly crisp and cold, 1t was
tempered sufficiently to be merely
cool and agreeable. She luxuriated
in it for a few moments. and while
she had her face buried in the towel,
rough, coarse, but clean, she heard a
step. She looked up in time to see
the man lay down upon the bench a
small mirror and a clean comb. He
said nothing as he did so, and she had
no opportunity to thank him before
he was gone. The thoughtfulness OF
the act affected her strangely, and she
was very glad of a chance to unbraid
her hair, comb 1t out and plat 1t
again. She had not a hair pin left, OF
course, and all she could do with 1t
was to replait 1t and let it hang upon
her shoulders. Her couture would have
looked very strange to civilization, but

CHAPTER XII.
A rour Q. lnspectIon.

.N.Hs tOot
The first thing necessary, she de-
cided. when she had satisfied her hun
ger and finished her meal, was to get
word of her plight and her resting
place to her uncle and the men of the
party, and the next thing was to get
away, where she would never see this
man again, and perhaps be able to for
get what had transpired-yet there
was a strange pang of pain In her
heart at that thought!
No man on earth had ever so slim
ulated her curiosity as this one. Who
was he? Why was he there? Who
was the woman whose picture he had
so quickly taken from her gaze? Why
had SO splendid a man buried himself
alone in that wilderness? These re-
Elections were presently interrupted by
the temperance of the man him
self.
"Have you fnished?" he asked, I'M
tremendously standing in the door

Yes, thank you, and it was very
good indeed"
Diminishing this politeness with q
wave of his hand, but taking no other
notice, he spoke again.

The girl nodded.
"And where you came from, l will

what can be done to restore you tc

be, the recollection Of the meeting
to which she had been about to allude
rushed over her with an accompany

her beauty as It covered her with
shame.
She could not realize that beneath

Drainage Of the zuyder Zee.

A great project is again before the
people of Holland-the draining Of the
Zuyder Zee. The sea, which, as every
one knows, Is at the north of Holland
and covers an area of $4,000 hectares,
a hectare being practically two acres
and q half.
Just half a century ago a scheme to
drain the southern portion Of the sea
was first mooted and although 1t re-
ceived considerable support, the oppo.
sition was greater, but now an asso
citation has been formed and a bill will
be introduced into the chamber. The
promoters see that with ar increased
population means must be taken to
enlarge the country and this reclama-
ton of the sea is suggested as capable
Of accomplishment. II the Q Ii con

upon the boulder against which she
had been leaning, at the same time ex-
tending her hand to greet him.
"Oh," she cried, her voice rising
nervously as he drew near, 81 am so
glad you are back, another hour Of
loneliness and l believe | should have
gone crazy"
Now whether that Joy in his return
was for him personally or for him abb
stractly, he could not tell; whether
she was glad that he had come back
simply because he was a human being
who would relieve her loneliness or
whether she rejoiced to see him indi-
vidually, was q matter not yet to be
determined. He hoped the latter, he
believed the former. At any rate, he

hand in the warn clasp of both his

he said, however, was quite common.

must go into the house at once" he
declared masterfully, and she obeyed
with unwonted meekness.
The sun had set and the night air
had grown suddenly chill. Still hold
ing her hand, they started toward the
cabin a few rods away. Her wounded
foot was Of little support to her and
the excitement had unnerved her, in
spite Of his hand she swayed; without
q thought he caught her about the
waist and half lifted, half led her to
the door. 1t seemed as natural as 1t
was inevitable for him to assist her In
this way, and in her weakness and be.
wilderment she suffered 1t without
comment or resistance. Indeed, there
was such strength and power in his
arm, she was so secure there, that she
liked it. AS for him, his pulses were
bounding at the contact; but for that
matter ever to look at her quickened
his heart beat.
