guide troops across a dark and un-

States is here following the example
of other countries, which have alreatr

The compasses are made luminous
through the use Of obynite, an English
invention made luminous by radium,
and the efficiency of the device has
been tested at Rock Island and on a
5O0-mile practice march. The surface
of the compass is said to be perfectly
luminous, and it is claimed that there
is not diminution of this quality after
constant use.

The secretary of the navy spoke up
at this iuncture.

he interposed, "and know his father.
If am not mistaken, he might be the
very man we need In the affair now
under discussion"
Chief Wilkins resumed the interro-
cation.
"Mr. Broekett, would you be willing
to take chance for your country A
chance that might involve risking your
life a dozen times. and which might
not yield you even taste of glory as
your reward?"
Il am willing to do anything can
possibly accomplish. II you give me
the word, chief"
Good boy! ! sized you up that way

your friend Solano?
'Yes sir. / think Solano would go
to any lengths to prove his love for
the United States"
Very we'll This afternoon, Mr..
Brockett, kindly make duplicate
copies Of your cipher for General Cole,
the secretary Of war, the secretary of
the navy, Mr.. Pinkwell, and myself.
BY the way, we might as well have 1t
done now, and save the time. Mr..
Brockett. will you call in Miss Law

Brockett had half-opened the door.
when he faced around, closed the door
again, and looked calmly into the eyes
of the puzzled chief.
Chief" he exclaimed, rapidly, 'T'n

key myself. Anyone who was unused
to that sort of work might confuse
the symbols. l will have them done
early in the afternoon"
Very WELL" the chief assented
Bring me the copies, and then go to
army headquarters. General Cole will
be awaiting you at three o'clock. If
possible, get your friend, Solano, and
take him with you. General Cole will
explain to you both just what he
wishes you to do"
Brockett bowed respectfully to the
group Of notables, and walked out. Go.

Interest In Collections.

1t is quite the fad among smart
folk to flock to sales of rare books,
furniture or pictures, even when they
have no intention of buying. For each
of these collections is the result Of a
lifetime of study, and the opportunity
to see them as a whole cannot recur
again, while individually the pieces,
passing into private hands. may be
lost to the public for years. For this
reason young girls are sent with their
governesses to see the treasures that
will soon be scattered far and wide,
and even whole classes from fashion
able schools are taken for morning
views. Such visits. naturally, do more
for the artistic education of these
fortunate young folk than weeks Of
lecturing and photographs.

IIIiteracy in Foreign Armies

The returns showing the educa.
tional attainments in the Swiss army
are less pleasing than those of Ger
many, the illiterates in the land of
philosophy being only .02 per cent.
In Switzerland a little more than one

one in a hundred read with such diff
Guilty that they could not comprehend
what they had read, Still this is bet
ter than Investigations made in
France show. The Temps concludes
that the insuficiently instructed
amounted to 1876 per cent and the
illiterates to SO, so roughly we have
25 per cent Of the French army illit-
crate. But on the other hand 37.2
per cent held diplomas or certificates
and those whose instruction was con
sidered sufficient amounted to 1927 per
cent.

lifted the sheets on which he had been

and quickly looked them over. All
FIVE of the sheets were in proper
place, but the third carbon from the
top had been removed, and fresh car

General Cole, kindly and affabIe
had the boys feeling thoroughly at
home before they had been in his Of
fee for five minutes. The old soldier
was in CHEEKY spirits, and his genial
mood communicated itself to his
young visitors, who-long counted
among the most ardent admirers of
the general-were at first inclined to
bashfulness when actually in the pres
ence of their ideal fighter. Solauo.
whose father had often spoken of GEN

not long left in suspense, for the old
warrior plunged into his reasons for
requiring their attendance in his Of
fee.
"Brockett, my boy" said the gen.
eral, pleasantly enough, but with
something governing the tone Of the
calm, even voice-something that
seemed to electrify both young men
like the current Of a mighty battery
Fl believe that can make you-and
your young friend-quite useful in the

Solano gasped, astounded, and fixed |
his big black eyes upon the generals
face. Brockett nodded. and leaned
forward, expectantly.
