The Special Messenger drew her
buckskin gloves carefully through
her belt and buttoned the holster of
her revolver.
A hospital orderly, passing hur-
riedly, stopped to hold her stirTup;
she mounted, thanked the orderly,
and swinging her powerful horse
westward, trotted off through the
woods, passing the camp sentinels
with a nod and a. a.low-spoken word.
There seemed to be no firing any
where in the vicinity; nothing to be
seen but dusky pine woods; and aft
er she had advanced almost to the
edge of little clearing, and not en-
countering the outer line of Union
pickets, she drew bride and sat stock
still in her saddle, searching in every
direction with alert. dark eyes.
A forest path, apparently leading
west, attracted her attention; into
this she stirred her horse and contin-
ued, even after her compass had
warned her that the path was run
ming directly south.
A cabin stood at the farther edge.
Three forest bridle-paths ran west,
east and south from this blackened
clearing. She unbuttoned her waist,
drew out a map, and fattening it on
her pommel, bent above it in eager
silence. And, as she sat studying her
map, she became aware of a faint
tremor in the solid earth under her
horses feet. 1t grew to a dull, jarring
vibration - nearer arer-nearer
and she hastily backed her horse
into the depths of the laurel, sprang
ito the ground and placed both gaunt-
leted hands over her horses nostrils.
A moment later the Confederate
The day book., 1914-01-31

cavalry swept through the clearing at
a trot-a jaunty, gray column, riding
two abreast, then falling into sin
gle file as they entered the bridle-path
at a canter.
There were only a hundred of
probably some of Stuart's rid
ers, for they seemed strangely fami-
liar.
What were they doing here? She
did not know. There seemed no logi-
cal reason for their presence.
This must be the burnt clearing;
her map and the cabin corroborated
her belief. Then it was here that she
was to meet this unknown man in
Confederate uniform and Union pay
"a spy like hersef-and give him
certain information and receive GER
tain information in return.
Her instructions had been unusu-
ally rigid; she was to take every pre-
caution; use native disguise whether
or not it might appear necessary,
carry no papers, and let any man she
might encounter make the advances
until she was absolutely certain of
him. For there was an ugly rumor
afoat that he had BEEN caught and
hanged, and that az Confederate
might attempt to impersonate him.
So she looked very carefully at her
map, then out Of the thicket at the
burnt clearing. There was the
wretched cabin ahmed as rendez-
Vous, the little garden patch with
standing corn and beans, and here
and there yellowing squash.
At last, with slight shiver, she
opened her saddle bags and drew out
the dress she meant to wear-a
dingy, earth-colored thing of ging-
ham.

TREE THAT INDUCES SLEEP
s'umber Plant, Introduced int3 Amer
lea, Has Killed Small AMI
mails and Birds.

A specimen OF the rare sleeping
palm has been found in Golden Gate
park, San Francisco, probably the
only one in the United States. Gu
rator Barrons Of the park museum
discovered it as he was walking in
the park with his young son. The
tree, which was brought to this coun-
try forty years ago by famous Aus
tralian botanist, William Robinson,
gives out a peculiar aromatic odor.
Barron smelled the exotic fragrance
and discovered the tree, whose upper
branches we're laden with beauti-
full rainbow-hued flower, giving
forth heavy perfume.
Around the base Of the tree were
the bodies of small animals and
birds.
Barron soon felt drowsiness steal
ing over him, his son complaining Of
the same feeling.
1t was found that the tree, which
had originally been brought from
one of the South Sea islands, be-
longed to the species Cocine@ SOM
nambul@, or sleeping palm, which
blooms only once in fifty years, and
the flowers of which were formerly
used as a drug by the islanders.
Samples of the flowers have been
sent to the medical department of
the University Of California, where
a test will be made to discover the
source Of their peculiar properties.

LEARNING A LANGUAGE.

The time to learn a language il
when you are young, the younger
the better, says a writer in the At
lantic. We learn our own language
as children. The older we grow the
harder it is, because it means not
merely learning by heart a great
many new words, not merely train
ing the palate and tongue to produce
different sounds, but adopting a new
attitude of mind. Nothing definite
has been discovered as to the locali-
zation of faculties in the brain.
therefore nothing certain is known;
but it has always seemed to me, and
to others whom / have consulted,
that when you learn a new language
you are exercising and developing a
new piece of brain which actuates
your tongue. You switch off one
center and switch on another. You
will always notice in yourself and
others that there is a definite pause
when the change of language is
made. Now it becomes every year
more difficult to awaken an unused
part of the brain and bring it into
active use, and to begin at twenty.

Wanted No Animals on the STAGE.


Goethe severed his connection with
the Weimar theater owing to the ap.
pearance Of an animal on the stage.

as a despotic director. "The direc-
tion," he wrote to his chief assistant,
acts according to its own views and
not in the least according to the de-
mands of the public. Once for all.
understand that the public must be
controlled" When at length he for
babe any expression of approval or
disapproval on the part of the public
only the court and the Jena students
continued to attend the theater.
The crash came when Duke Karl
August invited an actor who mad
scored heavily with a performing
poodle in "The Dog Of Montargis" to
play at Weimar. After the first re-
hearsal he declined to have anything
more to do with theater the boards
of which had been desecrated by the
presence of an animal.-From thu
