carried out here by the Germans last
night came from six aeroplanes. It
was a clear moonlight night but the
machines could not be seen except
when lit UP now and then by the
beam of whirling searchlights by
which the three inch anti-aircraft
guns directed their fire. The droning
heard some time before the aeropIane
arrived. This was sufficient notice, for
the inhabitants to seek S shelter ac-
cording to the plans arranged by all-
thorities.
Fifty bombs were thrown. 10 OF
which were incendiary ones. A num-
Der of private houses were damaged
but the result of the raid from a mill

Most persons think they are born
either with or without a cheerful dispo-
sirion. But in reality ali OF us are
somewhat dependent on our surround
ihSs Tor our good spirits. And as winter
comes on, 1t is a very good plant to see
mat our houses are cheerful.
a u OF color here and there really
does much to stimulate the spirits. In
summer we depend more on the out-of.
doors. even If we live in the city. But
IN winter the weather turns our
thoughts indoors, and If our houses are
not cheerful. neither are we, very often.
one way to give a cheerful ASPECT to
a room is to have the windows attrac-
lively framed. Bright chintz curtains
accentuate every bit of sunshine that
comes through them, and give to even
a gloomy light a cheerful aspect. A row
OF potted plants geraniums or begonias.
also helps to make a window cheerful.
Mirrors also add color to a room. for
they reflect light and color to an
amazing degree. So If you have a mir
ror and a dark corner hang the mirror
there, and in front Of it place a yell
low Jardin1ere, or a rose-shaded lamp.
Pictures, too, Of the right sort give
color to a room. They need not neces-
sarily be garish in shade, out If they
are beautiful in color they Id much to
the cheerfulness Of their surroundings.
Then there are lamps Of all sorts. In
the evening. of course, these give the
desired brightness just because of their
light. but in the daytime, too, they give
color If they are well shaded. Rose col
or and all the yellow shades give the
best light, and these likewise give the
bright splotch of color demanded for
c~heerfulness.
Then there are flowers. Not only pot
ted in the window sill. but cut or potted
at any part of a room they are charm
ing. The potted pink and red geran-
iums are veritable cures for the blues.
Begonias and fuchies. too, are cheerful
in color, and marguerites, though white
and yellow. are brilliant in their lowell
ness,

CHAPTER VIII.
A FRESH ENIGMA.

Godfrey met my eyes with a little
deprecating smile, put his torch in one
pocket, took a handkerchief from an
other, and mopped his forehead.
Ratner n~erve-racking, wasn't it,
Lester?" he remarked. and then his
gaze wandered to the couch. Inc he
stepped toward it quickly.
I saw that a change had come in
Miss Vauhan's condition. Her eyes
were still closed. but her body no
longer lay inert and lifeless, for from
moment to moment it was shaken by
a severe nervous tremor. Godfrey's
face was very grave as he looked at
her.

he said; that does no good" and when
Swain, without answering or seeming

sternly, and shook him a little, for

Swain nodded vaguely, and permitted
Godfrey to lead MIN to a chair near

aid 1t gently down again and glanced
at his watch. I followed his example.
and saw that it was 1880.

half an hour by yourself, Lester?" he
asked.

at the dead maj and at the CULVER

last look Dun the room, stepped out
upon the walk.

HOW RAMA SAVED PEG.

Moore. you will see on the library floor
the skin of a tiger, its mouth wide open
and the glass eyes shining in a very
natural a And the captain will tell
you the story Of how they got this rug
py the death Of a tiger in India, In
the lays when he was a young lieu
tenant in the British army.
Ihe English officer and his wife
lived with their small daughter, Meg.
In quarters Just outside the barracks.
Rama was a little Indian orphan boy
who had lived with the Moores nj
was Megss devoted slave.
One morning the lieutenant came in
excitedly. Runners have come in
from the south, he said, and report
that there is a huge tiger ranging
about in the swamps a few miles II
OF town. Not one of you must venture
In that direction.
About noon Mrs. Moore called Rama
and told him to take Meg in the little
wagon over to the north side of the
barracks and gather some wild flowers
which grew along the banks of the
stream. So Meg vas tucked under the
big, white umbrella and Rama, with
his head protected by a turban and a
white cloth around his waist, set out

Presently Meg fell asleep on a rug
he a spread on the ground, so the
boy sat still listening to the water
trucking ove the stones.
e out Of the hot midday silence
of the jungle he heard a sound - a
soft. pit-pat, pit-pat. Some creature
was creeping up on them through the
tangled bushes. He listened. The
sound came from back In the under
growth. He knew by the heavy tread
what it was. Then through the leaves
Of the bushes he peered and caught
sight of the great, cat like animal
crawling toward them-the tiger Of In
dia.
Closer and closer he crept. And Meg
never stirred. The boy was paralyzed
with fright. Then the baby raised her
sunny head. Her hand touched a long
vine which swung from thel limb above.
Hush, baby" whispered Rama.
Baby keep still; Rama take home"
Selling h child in his left arm, he
quickly tied her close to him by his
urban cloth. Just as he finished, the
tiger leaped. But as the animal
sprang Rama also leaped and grabbed
the vine far above his head. The tiger
rolled over on the ground. Rama gave
a push with his feet against the tree,
and the vine swung him far cut over
h bank, then he swung back again
to the tree. h tiger watching every
move, ready to leap again. AS he
touched the tree again he gave a fierce
shove that set them swinging again,
and this time they swept over the
tigers head, over the bank and right
to the bushes above the opposite side
of the stream. Then Rama let go.

But the tiger had followed their course
and as he say them swing out into the
air he sprang. too. But he missed his
aim and fell down on the sharp jagged
rocks which covered the bed Of he
creek. And there he lay with a broken
back.
1t did not take Rama long to fly
home with Meg in his arms, and in a
few minutes the whole garrison was
out. Lieutenant Moore's rifle put az
end tc the animals misery.
So now in cool England Rama lives
with his white friends. while Meg is
