At Cross-Purposes.

She sat for a moment silent, gazing
up the street, but breathing heavily.
This was not the reception she had an
ticipated, and 1t was difficult to deter
mine swiftly what course she had best
pursue. Realizing the hold she had
once had upon this man, 1t had never
occurred to her mind that her influ-
ence had altogether departed. Her
beauty had never failed before to win
such victory, and she had trusted now
in reviving the old smouldering pas
sion into sudden flame. Yet already
she comprehended the utter useless
ness of such an expectation-there
was no smouldering passion to be
famed; his Indifference was not as
sumed. The discovery angered her.
but long experience had brought con-
troll; it required only moment to re-
adjust her faculties, to keep the bitter
ness out Of her voice. When she again
faced him it was to speak quietly,
with convincing earnestness.

plantations" she acknowledged, so !

CHAPTER xv.-Continued.

Hamlin stood a moment silent. half
inclined to ask another question. but
crushing back the inclination. Then
he walked down the hall to the quar-
tiers assigned IN" troop, and across to
his bed in the far corner. There were
only few Of the men present, most
of whom were busily engaged at
game of cards, and he sat down where
he could gaze out the window and
think. Here was a new complication.
fresh puzzle tC be unraveled. He
had never expected this woman to
come into his life again; she had be-
come blurred, unpleasant memory, a
bit of his past which he had supposed
was blotted out forever. Mrs. Dupont
then she had not married LIE Fevre
after all! He DULY wondered why
yet was not altogether surprised. Even
as he turned this fact over and over
in his mind. speculating upon it, he
became aware of a man leaving the
rear door of McDonald's quarters, and
advancing back of officers row to-
wards the barracks. AS the fellow
drew near, Hamlin recognized the SOL
dier who had been driving the car
riage. A moment later the man en-
tered the room, spoke to the group of
card players, and then came straight
across toward him.

Fire Without Flame.

An English engineer named Bode
has invented a way to have fire with
out flame. His apparatus consists o!
a porous plate or mass OF fire-resist
ing fragments. within which he mixes
-infiammable gas and air in the righ,
proportions.
When the gas is first turned on ant
lighted it burns with flame at the
surface of the plate. When the air IL
turned on the fame disappears, bu'
the heat increases. A temperature o.
5000 degrees is claimed.
Just what use of this invention car
be made is yet question.

How to Acquire More Self Control.

TOW 10 Acquire Wore oeH VoHtroI.
To acquire more self control and
confidence perhaps the best step is to
make yourself face disagreeable tasks
with courage.
Do not be easily routed when you
have determined on course of action.
Perhaps the most disagreeable thing
one meets in the course Of a BUSINESS
day is the occasion for tactful yielding
what one desires to say, to be agree
able to people who do not appeal to US,
to give pleasant answer when we are
more inclined to give curt one-in
brief, to act according to the dictates
of conscience on any and every occa-
sion.

He was still talking when Hamlin
crossed the narrow hall and entered
the dimly-lighted, unoccupied parior.
The side window was open, slight
breeze rustled the heavy curtain, and
the Sergeant stepped outside on to the
dark porch. There was bench close,
to the rail and he sat down to wait. A
gleam of light from the Palace fell
across the western end, but the re-
mainder of the porch lay in shadow,
although he could look up the street,
and see the people jostling back and
forth in front of the Poodle Dog. The
sound of mingled voices was continu-
Gus, occasionally punctuated by laugh
ter, or an unrestrained outburst OF
profanity. Once shots echoed from out
the din. but created no apparent ex-
citement, and little later dozen
horsemen spurred recklessy through
the street, scattering the crowd, their
revolvers sputtering Some alteration
arose opposite and voice called loud
ly for the guard, but the trouble soon
ceased with the clump Of hoofs, dying
away in the distance, the regimental
band noisily blaring out waltz. Ham
lin, immersed in his own thoughts,
scarcely observed the turmoil. but
leaned, arms on railing, gazing out in
to the darkness. Something mysteri-
GUS from out the past had gripped
him; he was wondering how he should
greet her when she came; speculating
on her purpose in sending for him.
1t seemed as though he waited a
long time before the curtain at the
window was thrust aside and the lady
emerged, the slight rustling of her
dress apprising him Of her presence.
The curtain still held slightly back by
her hand permitted the light from

CHAPTER XVI.
The Meeting.

nc mCctIn9.
Hamlin's first impulse was to ignore
tue note, trusting his position in the
ranks would be sufficient barrier to
prevent any chance meeting, and be-
lieving his stay at that garrison would
be only a brief one. Sheridan was evi-
IDENTIFY preparing for an early offensive
campaign, and it was rumored on all
sides that the Seventh Cavalry had
been selected for active field service
Indeed. the urgent orders for the con-
solidation Of the regiment from scat
tered posts must mean this. Any day
might bring orders, and he could
easily avoid this Mrs. Dupont until
then. Except for faint curiosity, the
Sergeant felt no inclination to meet
the woman. Whatever influence she
might have once exercised over him
had been thoroughly overcome by
years and absence. Even the unex-
pected sight of her again-seemingly
al beautiful as ever-had failed to
awaken the spell Of the past. 1t was
almost with a thrill of delight that
Hamlin realized this--that he was in
truth utterly free of her influence.
There had been times when he had
anticipated such a possible meeting
with dread; when he had doubted his
own heart, the strength Of his will to
resist. But now he knew he stood alb
solutely Independent and could laugh
at her wiles. She who had once been
all-trusted, loved. worshipped with
all the mad fervor of youth-had be-
some crly dead memory. Between

WASHING MACHINE
SHOULD Be DONE
MOST CAREFULLY
Too Much Water Will Soon
Remove Luster From
Automobile.

1.-The washing OF an automobile is an
operation that needs more than usual
care, as there are SO many things that
have to be done correctly or the au-
tomobile will soon look like an old ma
chine said a well-posted motor car
dealer.
1--WE have a number Of rules which
we have laid down to our men and
which we follow out closely, and these
rules include the whole situation in a
nutshell. They are:
Never use soap on the body of the
automobile.
Never use a sponge or chamos on the
body until all the dirt and grease have
been washed off.
Keep the sponges and chamois clean.
This means cleaning them half dozen
times while washing one car.
Use different .sponges on the body
and on the running gear;
Rinse the car thoroughly and care
fully after washing.
do not use a strong force OF water
on newly painted car.
do not wash the car too much, as
each time 1t is washed 1t takes just
so much Of the luster off.
"All mud should be taken off with a
hose, as any other way scratches the
car.
Washing the car consists of first
going at the body thoroughly with a
hose until all the dirt is off and then
going over the body with a sponge.
Next tackle the running gear and use
for this a regular automobile soap
which does not hurt the varnish If
used right After the running gear has
been gone over thoroughly with soap
suds, 90 over II with a sponge and then
the whole car is rinsed, both body and
running gear. Then go over the whole
car carefully with a sponge and then
with a chamois."

simpler. Hang the chain by It's CEN

Pioneer Motorist Gives Good
Advise for Disagree
able Task.

There are few things about an auto
mobile more important than the tire
chains, and on account of the difficulty
OF putting them on and removing them
they are not put on as often as they
should be. Chances are often taken
which endanger life as well as the car.
The following easy method of applying
and removing the chains Is given by a
pioneer motorist with the hope that 1t
will make less difficult this distasteful
task and be the means Of saving some
enc a wheel IL not a serious accident

fusion takes place. the lubricating
properties are lost, and instead of the
piston rings taking an easy sliding gas
tight travel up the cylinder sides, a
grinding frictional movement follows. In
this way more heat Is generated, until
perhaps seizure takes place, or, II
events take another course. a broken
connecting rod or crankshaft may re-
suit
Cheap oils are false economy: one
should only use a lubricant that carries
entire confidence. An authority cited an
instance recently with a car which
when running slowly and using a low
grade oil showed loss of power, and,
through a careful examination of the
circulation and lubricating systems
proved all was in order. the trouble con-
tinued
Extravagant In Fuel and Wear.
The oil was tested and found to be
quite good for low temperatures, but
almost valueless in high ones as those
met with in the class of engine we are
considering, as almost the moment ii
entered the cylinder it was burnt I'D so
that part of the piston travelled in un-
fabricated ground.
Deposits of carbon are much more
likely to accumulate under the adverse
conditions named, and eventually the
carbon becomes an incandescent SUBJ
stance. giving rise to what Is known as
pre-ignition. Whether this Is taking
place may be easily proved by switching
OFF the spark: n pre-ignition Is taking
place the engine will continue to run
so long as there is a vestige of life left
in the carbon deposits referred to.
AS such action takes place before full
compression has been reached, II will
readily be understood that an engine
running under these conditions Is ex-
travagant in fuel and wear, and weak
as a fractiYe agent.
