old.1ime Warfare.

Naval guns possessed no sights at
the beginning Of the last century.
A line was scored on each gun In
order to assist the aim. but, being OF
thicker metal near the breech than
the muzzle, the line did not even rep
resent the axis of the gun.
Just before the battle OF Copen-
hagen, Nelson was asked II he would
interview an inventor who wished to
demonstrate before him the value Of a
simple form of sights that would en-
able the gunner to hit accurately an
object at distance.
IF the person comes" said the
great little man. Il shall, of course.
look at 1t. or be happy, If necessary,
to use It. But I hope we shall be
able, as usual, to get SO close to our
enemies that our shot cannot miss
the object.

Barney said frankly. but you may as

to chum with"
When, two weeks later she was COM
fortably ensconced in the beautiful
home Of her betrothed and made to
feel one Of the family, Esther felt
for the first time that she was really
engaged to marry Jimmy Carter. The
entire change Of life. the dressing for
dinner and the servants behind ones
chair and all the formalities Of q
well-regulated household brought Els.
Their to q sense of responsibility hith-
erto unknown to her.

stone walls for freedom"
He took her hand within his own
and slipped the ring from her finger.
Il will have this made into a PEN
dant, and when you wear It just re-
member that loved you deeply enough
to set you Free"
He did not look into Esther's eyes,
but turned away toward the cur
tanned window and stood there look
ing out over the city streets. Jimmy
was not seeing anything out there.
Instead. he was looking forward to q
few years distant when he would have
erased the vision Of Esther from his
life thoughts. The Darkness brought
heavy sigh from his lips and he
closed his eyes.
He opened them because Esther had
slipped over to his side and her head
dropped softly onto his shoulder. She
was weeping nervously and Jimmy's
arms swept comfortingly about her.
Never mind. little girl" he said.
1T was my own fault for being SO
conceited as to imagine could take
the place Of all the wonderful things
that filled your former life - your
family, the beautiful country a. well
as Barney, Billy and Bobs." In spite
Of himself slight spasm Of pain
shot over Jimmy. It was difRcult tc
realize that Esther might some day
belong to another man.
II Esther's sobs ceased suddenly ant
she looked wonderfully up at Jimmy
: For the first time In her life Barney
as possible lover. had been suggested
to her. The thought sent . wave o.
hot color over her cheeks and Jimmy
released her from his arms.
After all. Esther" he said as al

Esther was trembling violently an,
Jimmy only drew her tenderly int

Just as well as you are, down
on the ground" replied Mrs. Giraffe.

Mrs. Duck.
You are" replied Mrs. Giraffe, "and
you annoy me by speaking to me-"
Never mind" answered Mrs. Duck:
Il may be down on the ground, but
can see the little blades of grass COM
ing up from the ground and the little
flowers as they come into bloom.
Humph! You are way up there among
the trees, with your long legs and long
neck. l can swim. too. and you can't.
SO there!" And with that Mrs. Duck
walked into the water and swan away.

to satisfy their thirst without some
