club with nice Indian name. Two or
three times the police tried to raid 1t.
Then there were battles all over the
street, while the patrons were slipped
to safety by subterranean routes. 1t

EGYPT's DEBT TO WORMS
Their Digging Through Thousands OF
Years Is What Makes Fertility OF
the Valley of the White Nile.

The fertility of the valley Of the
White Nile is renowned. British sci
entific surveyors report that Its re-
msrkable productiveness is due in
large part to the diligence of earth
worms, which have been digging 1t
for thousands Of years. Observations
are recorded showing that during the
active six months Of each year the
castings OF the worms brought to the
surface there amount to about 24O,-
pounds an acre. Spread out evenly,
this would make an appreciable an
nual layer Darwin estimated that
the castings of five years In England
would cover the whole kingdom with
a layer of new earth an inch thick.
In the Nile valley the layer would
doubtless be thicker were the worms
equally numerous and busy. as ap-
pears ~ be the case, because the
proportion of honorable land there
is much less than in the British isles
1t must be remembered, also, that, In
addition to the beneficial service OF
stirring up the soil, admitting air
and water more easily, and bringing
deep deposits to the surface. there
is a constant fertilization effected by
tie vegetable matter dragged into
their burrows by the worms, much
of which is left to decay where 1t
will do the most good-Harper

Winter Sport.

There are many old-time games
played on the ice which lend zest to
the sport OF skating, says the Ameri-
can Boy, but some of them are very
rough and unruly. 'Land-lubber" and
"Crack-the-Whip," are all right IL you
have whole lake to yourself, but
otherwise they encroach upon the
rights of others. The game 1 am
about to describe is test of both
skill and nerve and yet the best player
need not be the biggest bully as In
the case of most of the ice games
know of. Neither will you, in induIg-
ing In this sport, be interfering witn
the rights of others.
The apparatus needed consists of an
arch from which wire rings are sus-
pended and a fitting stick for each
player. The arch is made by sinking
two poles into the ice. In a shallow
pond they may easily driven down
into the ground, but on deep lake or
river they are set into holes bored in
the ice and properly braced until they
have a chance to freeze in. Another
method is to use a wide heavy plank
as bottom anchor for each pole. At
o height to be agreed on by the boys
competing in the game line is
stretched across from pole to pole. The
line may be secured as shown in Fig.

thing but that love you. And now

To leave her for an instant was like
having his Hfe's sun in eclipse. At
last she freed herself from his arms
and babe him go. He had gone as far
as the door, his hand upon the knob,
when she quickly crossed the small
space between them. threw her arms
around his neck and whispered:
! Remember, dear, in whatever you
do, I'm with you. May my love and
my confidence support you ever"
1t seemed to him like benediction.
Again were his arms around her, again
their lips pledged their hearts last
ing love. Gently he released himself
from her embrace, and with a parting
smile was gone.
Wright stepped into the library his
eyes upon Gloria until the closed door
shut her from his sight. He turned to
find himself face to face with David
Kerr.

pressed were his friends the enemy,

boss of Belmont himself.
you know Mr.. Kendall and Mr..
Kerr" Gilbert said, without resorting
to his social manner as was his GUS
tom. This he knew to be a case of
diamond cut diamond, and there was
no occasion for any seeming show of
friendliness.
Il had the pleasure of meeting them
at your house"
1t was easy to see from the direct
opening of the conversation that there
was to be little beating around the
bush. Gilbert took chair at the bead
Of the long library table. Wright sat
to his left, where he could see the door
Of the room In which Gloria waited
for him. Opposite to him were Kerr
and Kendall
IT'S been hot campaign" were the
boss first words, "but we can afford
to let bygones be bygones."
Wright was not to be led into any
admission which might be used against
him later, and therefore would not as
sent to this.
What / can afford has nothing to
do with it. The one question is: Can
Belmont afford to give itself up to this
terminal trust that leaves no stone I'M
turned in it's effort to steal the streets
and parks of the town? That is only
the first step. Where do you propose
it shall end?"
That's where you misrepresent our
SIDE Mr. Wright" said Kendall. 1.-The
undertaking you speak of is perfectly
legitimate, for the direct benefit OF
Belmont. l challenge you to prove
that what you have accused US of be-
ing about to do is really the intention
of this company Nothing, sir, is far
Their from it."
That's all been gone over" Wright
said, turning to the lawyer at the head
of the table There's nothing new
to be said along that line. Was it for
this you sent for me, Judge Gilbert?"
No. l asked you to come over here
to consider an offer for your paper. Is
the News for sale?"
THAT depends. For sale when APP
piled to a newspaper may sometimes
have an ugly meaning"
"Of course" Gilbert was quick to
add 'I mean as a newspaper prop
erty."

He came step nearer, but she did
not turn to him. She stood half
turned away, her eyes downcast, her
lips parted into half a smile Her
breath came fast and she could feel
her heart beat. Then she heard him
say in lower tone. so gently:
Nothing to say, Gloria? Can't you
believe ne?"
She turned to find herself gazing
into his eyes.
yes, believe in you-as I believe
in my father"
This answer was not enough. He
had asked her to be his wife Not yet
had she replied.

tell me that you love me-"

For better or worse?" He held out
his arms.

pered as his arms were folded about
her.
And as their lips met in their first
kiss, Wright saw in her eyes the light
that never yet has shone on lard or

the game.
Each player starts from the same
line and while going under the arch
at full speed must spear a ring To
prove that he Is going at good pace
he must slide 100 feet after spearing
the ring, without anv effort to propel
himself. 1t is easy to pick off rings
going slowly, but if the player does
not glide along to the 100-foot line be-
yound the arch he must put the ring
back and forfeits his turn.
Each player gets 20 chances and
the one who picks the most rings wins
the game There are other ways
Of scoring but this is perhaps the sim
plest and best. Ten players may di-
vide themselves into two teams of five
each. In this case the members start
alternately, say about 40 feet apart.
and whirl along in riproaring, lively
fashion. An umpire must be appoint
ed to decide all plays. In choosing
sides try to equalize the talent on both
sides.

may reach the height of his earning
power younger in life. But he will
not continue to rise beyond that. You
know that the less man has in his
head the more he must depend upon
his physical energy. Physical energy
is on the wane after 40 or 40. The
man of 65 who has to depend upon his
physical energy to earn his living Is
certain to find himself in very poor
circumstances The man who has de-
veloped his intellect will at the age
of sixty-five find himself managing
to live without depending too much
upon his physical energy. That Is
one reason why life grows more beau
tiful every year to the man who Is
educated, while the life OF the unedu-
Gated man grows less beautiful and
less interesting after he has reach
ed the zenith of his physical pow
ers at the age of about forty or forty.

CHAPTER xIIl.-contlnued.

Some time soon, / hope. I'm sick
and tired of it all here, Gloria. To-
day it has seemed like the game isn't
worth the candle. What do you think?"
I'm all in the dark, too" was her
confession. Slowly and surely in the
shadow Of her shattered hopes and his
unhappy conflict of duty and desire
were they being drawn closer together
than even they had been when they
laughed with the spring and dreamed
Of the days to come in a radiant sun
shine of unwhispered love.
Il don't know what to think" Gloria
went on in a low tone. 81 don't seem
to understand Belmont"
why don't you go away? Don't
you want to-"
What for? 1 know the life out
there" She made a sweeping GEES
ture which seemed to encompass all
the world outside the four walls which
shut them in together. ut wouldn't
really satisfy me any more-to live
as l used to live"
Yet your life here" He left the
rest to her.
No, this doesn't satisfy me either"
I'm word, Gloria, you're not hap
py."
Instead of replying directly. she
asked with a dropping of her hands
to her sides in hopeless fashion:
Us anybody in the whole world
happy? Are you happy?"
Don't you think l ann"
I'm afraid not"
The appealing way she looked at
him, her whole soul yelling UP in her
eyes, brought him to his feet and set
him to pacing nervously up and down.
He looked fatigued. distressed, beside
himself with care. She forgave him
everything but his studied refusal to
let her share whatever weighed upon
him. Could he not see, she thought,
how she yearned to tell him that
whittier he went there she would go
also. that his joys would be all her
joys and that his burdens would be
divided with her, that love divided al
sorrow and doubled all Joy?
Wright could stand il no longer.
He saw her before him. trembling with
that same emotion that shook him,
aflame with the same fire that burned
within him, mutely questioning him
with her big. soulful eyes. How could
he make amends for that month of
neglect except by telling her what she
long ago had guessed, but what more
recently she had a right to doubt? He
felt weak where he wanted to be
strong. To hear from her lips that
she loved him was all that he needed
to make him invincible. With her ac-
knowledged love in his heart there
was nothing he could not do.
"Oh, Gloria, can't tell you what
fight I'm making. You wouldn't I'M
derstand. Business is business, out

HINTS FOR YOUNG HUNTERS
Above All Other Things Do Not Point
Gun at Anybody at Any Time
Never Be Careless.

II you fall, hang to the gun and
keep its muzzle away from you.
Don't point any gun at anybody at
any time. 1t is bad habit.
Don't pull a gun after you through
the brush or through fence. Put it
ahead of you.
Don't shoot towards a building or
towards a place where the are per
sons. Even though you may not shoot
directly at them the glancing of shot
may do mischief
Don't shoot until you are certain of
your target. Many a cap has been
mistaken for grouse, and many a
canvas suit for an animal of some sort
to the sorrow of the hunter and the
victims family.
If a good deal of shooting is done
1t will pay to clean the rife or shotgun
during the middle of the half day. It
will shoot more true and strong.
The smaller the rifle or gun the
more carefully it must be held for ac-
curate shooting. Heavier arms are
most sure for long range.
Buy a gun of good quality, and not
a cheap toy. A reliable rife or shot
gun that will shoot hard and true is a
friend on the ordinary farm. Much
pleasure and often profit may be had
from the right use of the right kind of
gun. Only let US never be careless.

Watch Carefully
the Child'S Diet
Starr Them of Right With a Good
Lasofiye and Then Watch
Their Food.

Their Food.
Mothers are often unconsciously
very careless about the diet of their
children. forcing all to eat the same
foods. The fact is that all foods do
not agree alike with different persons.
Hence, avoid what seems to constipate
the child or to give it indigestion, and
urge it TO take more of what is quick
~ digested.
II the child shows a tendency to
constipation it should Immediately be
given mild laxative to help the bow
els. BY this is not meant physic or
purgative, for these should never be
given to children, nor anything like
salts, pills, etc. What the child re-
quices is simply small dose of the
gentlest of medicines, such as DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which. in the
opinion of thousands of watchful moth
ers, is the ideal remedy for any child
showing a tendency to constipation.
So many things can happen to con-
stipated child that care is necessary.
Colds. piles, headaches, sleeplessness.
and many other annoyances that chill
dren should not have can usually be
traced to constipation.
Many Of Americas foremost families
are never without Syrup Pepsin, be-
cause one can never tell when some
member of the family rnay need it,
and all can use 1t. Thousands endorse

Her OPPORTUNITY,

While visiting a friend the other
day a Washington woman was admir-
ing some fine bits of china that were
displayed on a buffet table, and OF
these her attention was particularly
drawn to a big Japanese cup. TAX
ing it up to examine the details of de-
sign, the caller was startled to see
that the piece had been broken and
awkwardly glued. She called her
hostess attention to the fracture,
whereupon the latter Immediately
summoned her maid.
Margaret" said the lady of the
house, this cup is broken"
"Yis, mum, l had an accident"
But it has been glued together,
continued the mistress. 1T is un.
pardonable of you to conceal your
fault in this way-to glue the pieces
without saying word to me- Now,
If you had come to me openly and
said you had broken 1t would have

Dyaks, natives of Borneo, are ex-
tremely truthful. So disgraceful, in
deed, do the Dyaks consider the de-
ceiving of others by an untruth that
such Is handed down to posterity by a
curious custom. They heap up a pile
of branches of trees in memory Of the
man who has uttered a great lie, so
that the future generations may know
of his wickedness and take warning
from 1t.
The persons deceived start the
tugong bula-the liars mound-by
heaping up large number of branch
es in sine conspicuous spot by the
side of the path from one village to
another.
Every passer-by contributes to 1t
and at the same time reviles the mem
ory of the man who told the lie The
Dyaks consider the addition to any
tugong bula they may pass a scored

NapoIeon,s Victory at Rrlsnns.

One hundred years ago Napoleon
met the army of the allies at Brienne,
village in northeastern France, and
was victorious after a keenly-contest-
ed battle. The emperor had left Paris
only two days before, prepared to
make a last des perate effort to halt
the advance Of the enemy on the
French capital and there by save his
tottering throne. The allied Russian
and Prussian armies were in command
of Marshal Butcher. Napoleon's forces
were in deplorable condition. At
Brienne, it is true, his old soldiers
displayed prodigies of courage in his
name and under his orders, but the
raw conscripts were discontinued and
many of them deserted their colors.
Napoleon owed his victory chiefly to
the fact that he came up to Butcher
when the latter was separated from
a part of his forces. Prince Schwart-
zenberg, in command of the Austrian
forces, Immediately set out for the
purpose of supporting the Prussians,
and the combined armies OF the al
lies recommended their advance on
Paris.
