CHAPTER viii.
Close to the White Posts.

On Saturday evening the 128th regi'
ment of the Grays was mustered IN
field accoutrements and full supply
of cartridges. In the darkness the
first battalion marched out at right
angles to the main road that ran
through La Tir and South La Tir. At
length Company B, deployed in line
OF skirmishers, lay down to sleep on
it's arms.

casse, the captain, whispered to his
senior lieutenant IF it comes, our
objective is the house and the old
castle On the hill above the town"
The tower of the church showed
dimly when a pale moon broke
through a cloud. By its light Hugo
MaIIin saw on his left the pinched
and characterless features Of Peter
kin. A few yards ahead was white

the manufacturers son.

said the judges son a trif1e huskily,

whispered the laborer's son. He, too

start and they will run at TIE sight

He and Hugo alone, not excepting Pill

natural voices. The others were try

raj, while Pliers voice had devel-
oped a certain ferocity, and the liver
patch on his cheek twitched more fire.

detached thoughts.

Fine Fortune in Sewers

The revenue last year from the
Bradford corporations grease factory
amounted 10 over $3.50, 900. This sum
represents what other people have
thrown away, for the grease is ex-

WOO! industry in the English city.
When the crude wool is washed at
Bradford some of its natural fat is

4 South Dakota railroad is noted
for its execrable roadbed. A new
brakeman was making his first trip
over the road at night and was stand
ing IN the center Of the car, griDly
clutching the seats to keep erect.
Suddenly the train struck a smooth
place in the track and slid along with
out sound. Selling his lantern, the
brakeman ran for the door. Jump

WHAT BAROMETER SHOWS
Some Short Rules for tEe !GteiIieent
Reading OF This Most Useful OF
InStrum ents.

Do you properly understand the ba-
rometer? Many people tap the glass,
note a rise or fall, say it will there
fore be wet or fine. and there end.
But there's more in barometrical sci
ence than that. The following key
might be cut out for reference
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1914-10-15

Fine weather may occur with low
glass, but it precedes wind or rain.
The rise or fall of a barometer rather
than its absolute height shows an ap-
preaching change, so the usual words,
Fair" Change" etc, cannot always
be depended on. The rise from a low
point indicates the close approach of
gales.

Contraction of Sun

Adopting the well-known hypothesis
of Helmholtz, which attributes the
production of the heat emitted by the
sun to its contraction, an idea can be
formed OF. the suns duration.
If one gives to the sun a coefficient
of expansion intermediate between
that of mercury and that Of gas one
arrives at the conclusion that 1t has
taken 100000 to 100000 of years
for the sun to contract to it's present
radius; in particular, it would have
taken 10000 years to contract from
infinity to a radius twice its present
radius.

The First S~uffr0gette
Plot In History


What was probably the first suf-
by James Baikie in a communication
TO the National Geographic society. at
Washington. H. c., summarizing the
mDre recent explorations and eNcaNa-
tions IN Egypt which have done much
To reveal b history OF an ancient
world power.
we have a very full record OF the
process against certain ladies Of the
harem Of King Harnesses III Of the
twentieth dynasty, which exhibits the
harem intrigue in all It's familiar fei-
lures" writes Mr.. Baikie, "Omcials
Of the harem are bribed. messages are
sent out to officers Of the troops from
the secluded ladies', inviting the help
OF the army TO overthrow the king and
set up "a pretender. and the
" witchcraft are called In to insure
the success Of the scheme. In TINS
ease even the discovery OF the plot
did not put an end 10 the Vaccinations
OF those concerned. The judges m
the trial were tempered with. and the
result was a highly discreditable eN-
pOsure of the corruption OF the Egypt
Ian bench as well as that OF the
harem."
Continuing his discussion of the po-
sltion Of women In ancient Egypt, Mr..
Baikie says:
Though there are certain features.
such as their loose ideas In the mat
ter OF consanguinity. which shock our
modern sense of morality, the Ideas
and practice of the ancient Egyptians
In respect TO the position of woman
are remarkably advanced and rational,
comparing very fayorably with those
Of the great nations of classical an
tlquity. Woman was 10 the Ely ptian
not the slave of man OF the minister 81

his fellow-worker on very equal terms,
often his adviser, not infrequently his
ruler.
There existed In the Egyptian mind
q sentiment that could almost be cali

ularly In respect Of IFS great function

which Is essentially involved In Ira
