the French critics, We may expect,
when the next war comes, to find our
soldiers asphyxiated by deleterious
gases released by the explosion of
these new German bombs, and if any

to the wording of the law, and thus

this assertion, they aver that the Ger

that d young engineer of the famous
gun-shop of krupp, in Germany, set
himeslf to solve, a few years ago, and
his successful solution has led to an
invention which the German army may
use in the next war.
The young inventors fellow work
men were inclined to laugh at him
when he proposed to fire his projec-
tiles fro moutside instead of inside the
gun. They pointed out to him that
nothing like that had ever been done
or thought of. Their minds were hide
bound by precedent and tradition, and
they assumed that what had never
been done never could be done. They
did not remember that some of the
greatest inventions in existence have
been made by boldly defying prece-

possibilities.

IT WAS FULL OF MAIL.

When she entered the post office
ner glance at once fell on her fathers
box-No. 146. Her heart leaped 1t was
full of mail,
She tapped lightly on the box and
the postmaster, with a genial good
morning" handed her out the mail.
There were two newspapers and a
number Of letters. She held them tight,
rigidly keeping her gaze fixed ahead of
ner She would not look at them until
she reached home.
If she waited until then, one of the
letters in her hand would be from
Warren. It Wa: a relic of her childish
fancies Of prOpitiating fate, of max
ing a bargain with the gods"
1t was the same instinct that used
to make her walk all the way to school
without stepping on a crack-in the
hope that she would then pass her eX-
animation And when at the end of the
quarter her report card was given her,
she would hold it close, not looking at
it until she reached hOme-believing
that is she did this, the mark would
be a high one.
And once she even kept her report
unopened until the next day firmly be-
lieving that if she could endure this
suspense if she could only wait until
morning, all the marks would be good.
And they had been. Curiously enough,
she thought of that now.
While she would not look down at
the addresses, she felt the envelopes
with easy fingers. There was one we'll
filled and about the size and feel Of
1he paper Warren always used. There
were two other envelopes which seem
ed to contain only one sheet of paper,
a long commercial envelope, and two
others which were unsealed, plainly
circulars Besides there were a pamph-
let and two papers.
Still without looking she separated
the three possibilities from the others.
One of these was from Warren. She
repeated it over and over. The thought
that she was mixing mental science
and childish page superstition did not
occur to her.
SUPERSTITION OF CHILDHOOD.

she rubbed its arched back and MUIR
mured:

And the cat blinlled and purred at
her sympathetically. Just three more

was at her gate. Martha was sweeping
eff the front porch. She hurried around
70 the side door and up to her room
without meeting anyone. She closed
and locked the door and went over to
the window, the mail still held tight in
her hand.
Now she would look. No. not just
yet-she was afraid! Her heart was
beating painfully. Then, suddenly, with
a catch of throat she spread out the
letters before her-and looked.
