when he got there the cupboard was
bare-or- words to that effect-apy,
way. there are no near-b beer saloons
in Hawkinsville, and haven't been for
many moons, and so the Roman

He was introduced to a large au.

and spoke eloquently on Temperance

success.

Before she realized what l was 60
ing to do, l had flung away my rife
and seized her In my arms. She was
a light, slender thing, and l held her
tight in the folds of the blanket,
scarcely feeling her weight. She made
no effort to resist, yet her eyes-be-
wildered, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. into
my face. / gave them no heed, my
whole purpose concentrated on the one
effort to save her, to fight a passage
through that mob of frightened men.
The spirit of panic had gripped me
also-not for myself, but for her!
Here was my duty now; not back yon-
der where those regulars stood grimly
In line, and died with their shoulders
touching; not where l had fought all
day in the powder-cloud facing those
forest demons-but in the mob of fu-
g~itives, battling and cursing for their
lives. The road was Uttered with guns
thrown away, with discarded blankets
and powder horns. l dared not look
back, straining every muscle, stagger-
ing forward over the ruts. The roar
of guns behind grew faint In the dis
lance; the spit of rifles from the
thickets ceased. Exhausted, breath
less, reelihg from fatigue. I put her
down, and, with arm about her, stood
an instant looking back.
They were coming, a dark mass

String and Ball Trick.

the fiat surface of one half, a little
to one side of the center, as shown,
and allow the end to project about
3-16 in. The fiat surface Of the other
half is cut out concave, as shown, to
make it one-half inch deep. The two
halves are then glued together, and
a hole is drilled centrally on the
division line for a string to pass
through.
To do the trick, hold an end of
the string in each hand tightly and
draw it taut with the ball at the top,
then slacken the string enough to
allow the ball to slide down the
string. To stop the ball at any point,
pull the string taut.
Before handling the ball and string
out for inspection, push the string
from each side of the ball and turn
it slightly to throw it off the peg.
This will allow the string to pass
freely through the ball, and it can
not be stopped at will. To replace
the string reverse the operation.

WHY NOT GIVE PLAIN aYEs"7
"Yep," "Yes, Madam "Yes-Siree'
Among Its Variations In Use
in the United States.

49, H|M- LH ID
In the United States yes" is pre-
eminently a book word, though it is
also scattered somewhat thinly
through the conversations of every
day people and is employed habitually
by a negligible number of individuals
who are both highly cultured and
careful of their speech, writes Rich
ard T. Hollbrook in the North Ameri-
can Review. Furthermore, as COM
pounds or set phrases tend to pre-
serve old forms and old sounds, yes
regularly occurs in all stock combi-
nations. That is why persons whose
habitual affirmative is ordinarily
'yeh-a" or "eh-a," "eh-up," "ye-up,"
never say ''yeh-a, sir" "eh-a, to be
sure" yep, madam" 'eh-up, indeed"
or "eh-a, thanks" for example.
yes, sra group which in va.
rious states, but especially in New
England, is occasionally employed as
an emphatic exclamation (and with
out any humorous intent) in address
ing girls or women-"yes, SIR" has
several striking yariants-frst, yes,
sir" an accentuation as common and
as illogical as that in Il hadn't any
reason to 60" or in He's a married
man." Then what is yes, Stree:
Well, like mo, sir-ee," it is as charac-
teristically American as yes, sirrah,'
is Elizabethan, but that final Zee is
mysterious-possibly a decayed rem
nant of we or thee, possibly nothing
but an emphasizing vocalic appendix
like the 80" which cheerful Britons
often add to right"

The Battle on the Wabash.

He had not even assigned me to
service; simply turned me adrift to go
where I pleased. This implied insult
cut me to the quick, yet, now that l
had taken the measure of the man, l
cared little enough for his good opin-
ion. Very well, l would choose my
own service then-I would go back to
Oldham and his Kentucky militia. He
was of fighting blood. If his face spoke
truth, and his command was stationed
where they would feel the first shock
of attack whenever it came.
Oldham received me gladly. and

Mise Use of Powers.

To turn away from useless and bar

excessive introspection or self-abase-

Tapping at his heels, his head flung
horse full tilt. In his mad terror he
saw and knew nothing. He came
straight at us, running as if crazed.
! flung the girl into the side Of the
road and leaped recklessly for his
head. My hand gripped the name,
then the leather rein; l was flung
from my feet, jerked into the air, but
hung; my moccasins touched ground
again. / was dragged forward, rem
dered half unconscious by a blow, but
weight told. / got fingers on his nos
trils, and he stood still, painting and
trembling. Clinging to him, warned
by shouts to hurry, l stripped the har-
ness and hoisted her onto the bare
back. Even as this was accomplished
the head of that shrieking mob was on
us; brute grabbed her by the arm
seeking to pull her down, and l struck
him with all the force l had. Then l
ran forward, clasping the horse by the
bit, cFunching Jul way, needless of
who opposed or Blocked our passage.
And they made way for us; even in
their blind terror, they swept aside
to escape being trampled under the
animals hoofs, and left before us a
clear path.

which to turn aside, saw the faint
trace OF eS Indian trail, seemingly
leading down tbs heuk of the stream,
and, with instant decision, turned into
it. I walked the horse now, and Rene
sat w straight, and fastened her dis
arranged hair. The narrow trail led
through dense thickets and about a
slight hill; in five minutes we were
out of sight Of the read, alone in the
wilderness To the right through
trees was the glimmer of the river.
The horse painted heavily. and the way
was rough. There was blood l noticed
now, on his flank, and he limped slight
ly as he walked. / staggered and
reeled from WEAKNESS, feeling reac.
ton from excitement, yet kept grimly
on until we must have covered two
miles, wandering in and out among the
low hills. No sounds reached us, and
as we came into a marrow ravine,
promising concealnaent, I released my
grasp on the bit aid staggered back
against the bank. Mademoiselle
slipped from her seat and fastened to

before-we had no provisions. nc

canada,s influence on crockett.

The late S. R. Crockett had strug-
giles in his early life as many other
poets and authors did. He began to
work on the farm at an early age, as
ever a child's hands were useful to
the struggling household. He was
up at five O'Clock, and all through his
life he continued to rise at this hour,
for early rising was a habit with
pleasant memories.
= One of his cousins was a farmer.
plowman who had been to Canada and
acquired larger ideas than the rest
Of the family, and, finding in the boy
an unusual play Of mind, he used to
take him in the fields before the days
fabors began, and make him read fine
poetry.

The Use of Birds.

Some years ago a French scientist
informed the world that if all the birds
should die man would have scarce a
years life on this planet left to him,
and, what is more, he proved his point
to other scientists, who were rather
disposed to laugh at his theory.
How many insects, for instance,
does a robin eat and thus rid US Of?
At certain seasons he eats double his
weight in insects and worms daily.
He eats, you must remember, all day
long, from sunrise until sunset and
sometimes until about an hour sitter
the sun has gone down.

over, the camp stove overturned, the
long bench smashed into kindling
wood. With sinking heart l flung
back the sagging canvas, and cast one
glance within. As heaven witnesses,
she stood there, the blanket still
wrapped about her, her hands grasp
ing a rife, her face turned toward
me. Unconsciously her lips gave ut.
terance to a cry of relief, and her ex-
preston changed. / sprang forward,
