Fortunately for Jackson, the recent
campaigns up and down the valley
had faded both blue and gray uniforms
into nondescript drab. As Jackson
sat on his horse and watched the busy
scene. he formed his plan swiftly. He
could not 60 back; he must cross that
bridge, and that was his only chance.
1t was the frowning field gun that he
feared. He must put it out OF COM
mission long enough to get beyond its
range. Throwing up his hand to at
tract attention. he shouted to- the Of
ficer in command Of the gun:
What are you doing with that gun
up there? l didn't order 1t there, and
don't want 1t there!" There was
authority and petulance in his voice as
he added: Timber up. and run it over
on that knob over there!"
I The officer at the gun, thinking that
he had to deal with some superior
officer recently arrived, fastened to
obey without question, explaining in
self-defense that he had understood
his orders otherwise.
Sitting on Little Sorrel, while the
federal troops worked busily about
him, Jackson calmly waited until the
gun was limbered of to the new posi-
ton. Then he rode quietly across the
bridge. and up the other bank until ne
was well out of musket range. Then
he turned, waved his hand to the as
tonished federals. and, putting spurs
to his horse, galloped away from the
rain Of bullets that battered harm
lessly in the rear.
Had he been captured the Confed-
crate victory at Port Republic which
he won few hours later would not
have happened: the able and energet-
ic. Shields would have defeated his
troops, stunned by his loss.-Youth's
Companion.

the water cooler, he drew himself a
drink and tossed it off without spill
ing a drop. He pulled a nickel from
his pocket, dropped it and picked it
up again.
But when he sat down, took up
pen, dipped it in the ink and dashed
off his name in excellent handwrit-
ing. first with the right hand and
then with the left, it seemed almost
uncanny. There are lot of folks
who can't write legibly with the left
hand even if it has four perfectly
good, red. blooded fingers.
The arm that enables Mr.. Gates to
perform such astonishing feats is
made of willow fiber. Steel gears take
the place of joints, and rawhide cords
act as muscles. Each rawhide cord
ends on a pair Of suspenders fastened
across the back and chest. which
gives the necessary tension.
A mere shrug of the shoulder con-
trolls the arm and the 240 distinct
parts of which 1t Is composed. The
rawhide muscles" move the steel

arm appear almost human

1STONEWALL" IN TIGHT PLACE
When General Jackson's Presence Of
Mind Saved Him From Capture at
Port Republic.

Perhaps the most important order
that "Stonewall'' Jackson ever issued
certainly the most vital to himself
Is not In the official war records. The
order was given in person by Jack
son to Northern artillery officer as
he stood in full uniform. ready for bat
tie beside his gun, and-strangest OF
all!-was at once executed by him
with the result that the battle was
lost by the Union arms.
II was on spring morning in 1862,
just before the battle of Port Repub
lie. Jackson, in advance Of his troops,
with only single escort. galloped
across the bridge over the Shenan-
doah river into the town, which stoc d
on the east bank Learning that the
army of General Shields was still
good many miles away, and confident
that his own troops would be In pos
session long before the enemy. he
rode to a residence at the farther
end of the village. where he spent
nearly an hour
But meantime the energetic Shields
whom Jackson later declared to be
his most formidable opponent-had
thrust forward small, swift column
to occupy Port Republic. seize the
bridge. and halt Jackson's advance So
rapidly did it move that it gained
both objects without firing q shot
More than that. Jackson was a pris-
cner-if anyone knew 1t,
Jackson, in utter ignorance of the
disastrous change, mounted his horse
ard ambled down the main street
TO the bridge: What was his aston
/ hment to see groups of soldiers-in
b.ae.-busily moving to and fro about
the bridgehead, and throwing up in

you meant something serious. I'll call

clever comedian, in a two reel comedy
entitled "Jerry's Mechanics We'd
nesday a six reel special, entitled a
Mans Shadow" an adaptation from
a remarkable detective story written
by the celebrated French author.
Jules Mary. The labor of adaptation
has been performed with skill and
patience by an expert of the screen
drama. He has extracted the dra-
matte values and woven them into a
most fascinating photO-drama. The
story in brief relates TO a good man
who yields to a strong temptation
and sins. He repents quickly, but his
partner in guilt refuses to join him
in his resolve, and love changes to
hate. Upon this one misstep of a
good man. a vengeful eX-emplOye
rears a diabOlical plot for the destruc-
ton of the good man and we'll nigh
accom- plishes his wicked purpose.

the best seen in a long time. II is a

Life is a queer affair at best:

such is the case quite too often.
