CHAPTER XIV.
In sure.Enouah Country.


One morning, more than a month
after the closing days of school, Alb
bolt Ashton CHANGED to look from his
bedroom window as Hamilton Greg
ory's buggy, with Fran in it, passed.
Long fishing-poles projected from the
back of the buggy.
BY Fran's side, Abbott discovered a
man. True it was only" Simon JEFF
ferson; still, for all his fifty years
and his weak heart, it was not as If
it we're some pleasant, respectable
woman-say Simon's mother. How
ever, old ladies do not sit upon creek
banks.
The thought of sitting upon the bank
of a stream suggested to Abbott tnat
it would be agreeable to pursue MS
studies in the open air. He snatched
up some books and went below.
On the green yeranda he paused TO
inhale the fragrance of the roses. I'm
glad you've left your ROOM" said MISS
Sapphire, all innocence, all Kindness.
You'll study yourself to death. 1t
won't make any more OF life to take IL
hard-there's just SO much for every
man"
Huge and serious, Miss Sapphire sat
in the shadow of the bay-window.
Against the wall were arranged
sturdy ound-backed wooden chairs,
each of which could have received the
iandlady's person without culver OF
q spindle. Everything about Abbott
seemed too carefully ordered-he
pinned for the wholesome messy
bank sloping TO q purling stream.
Suddenly Miss Sapphire grew pom
derously significant. Her massive head
trembled from a weight of meaning
not TO be lifted lightly in mere words,
her double ehins consolidated, and her
mouth became as the granite door OF
cave sealed against the too-curlous.
Abbott paused uneasily before his
meditated flight-"Have you heard any
news?"
She answered almost uagically.

A new kind of bullet, known as the
narcotic bullet" "a row being expert
mented with. A minute particle OF
morphia is used, and the drug is car
ried in tiny wells in the steel jacket
of the regulation army bullet. The in
ventor claims that 1t in no way inter
feres with the effectiveness of the
missile. The slight indentation in the
steel jacket causes no splintering
when it comes in contact with the
bone, and no deleterious effects will
follow the unique administration of
the drug.
The soldier receiving a slight flesh
wound from the new bullet fights no
more that day; he calmly stretches
himself on the ground and goes to
sleep. The man receiving a serious
wound suffers no agony, as the mar
cotic from the bullet is absorbed by
his system. and he is inseneible to
pain before he reaches the hospital

Discover EueIId,s Lost Books.

There has been great deal of com
ment recently over the examinations
for admission to the military and ma
val academies and for admission to
the marine CORPS" remarked A. ].
Wetherington of Philadelphia. 81 was
very much amused at the comment of
young friend who recently went up
against the board of examiners fo= the
marine service. Speaking OF the ques-
tons in geometry which were pro-
pounded to the boys, this youngster
said, in dry way;
History tells us that the old dis
coverer of the science of geometry
Euclid-who lived 800 years before
Christ-wrote something like twenty
books, which he called Elements, and
that Of this number seven were lost.
The examining board of the marine
corps have found those books, for the
questions it put to us two wekes ago
clearly demonstrated that it dug up
some theorems which had not been
seen in the last 1000 years."

BARN SWALLOW, CHIMNEY SWEEP AND KING BIRD
BY JULIE ADAMS POWELL.

When the King bird arrives in the
early spring with his bride from the
south, he guards her most jealousy,
and fights most pugnaciously all 9TH
ers of his kind who come near.
Noted for his fighting nature, the
King bird is entitled to his royal name,
and is also called the tyrant Fly Catch
er, and from his epicurean love of in
sects, he is known again as the Bee
Martin, although far removed from the
Martin family, being really one of the
Fly Catchers.
He possesses no noble qualities, as
without provocation he often allows
Ibis angry passions" to rise, and
makes bold and aggressive attacks on
the crow, and often chases away
from his field the less offensive small
birds. Very like the Indians of the
western plains, the King bird never
likes to meet foe in open warfare
preferring to swoop down upon some
unoffending neighbor, giving him 9

Billy, the witess, looked up. He saw the lark
in the cage. The stairway was burning. He

OF the chimney, and to rough places, as
sisted by their spine-like tails, and are
never seen to alight on the ground, be-

again, on account of their long wings
and short feet. Their song consists
of rolling twitter, which is quite
pleasant to hear.
The Chimney Swift is about an inch
shorter than the English Sparrow, but
its long wings make it appear larger.
The male and female are marked
alike, being of deep, sooty gray. The
tail is even. and has very elastic and
sharply pointed quilts. beyond which
the wings extend an inch and a half.
The feet have exceedingly sharp
claws.
In country houses, during the sum.

tant thunder, of flock of these birds
rising from one of the large chimneys,
In the early morning.
The Swift lays from four to six
pure white eggs.
