CHAPTER XXI.
Into the Desert.


A week after the caravan OF the Due
de fremont lef Algiers, Julia Red.
mond came Unexpectedly to the villa
of Madame de la Maine at an early
morning hour. Madame de la Maine
saw her standing on the threshold of
her bedroom dooI.
"Chere Madame" Julia said, II am
leaving today with a dragoman and
twenty servants to go into the desert.
Madame de la Maine was still in
bed. At nine o'clock she read her pa
pers and her correspondence.
Into the desert-alone!"
Julia, with her cravache in her
gloved hands, smiled sweetly though
she was very pale. 81 had not thought
of going alone, Madame" she replied
with charming assurance, II knew you
would go with me-"
On chair by her bed was a wrap
per of blue silk and lace. The COM
Jesse sprang up and then thrust her
feet into her slippers and stared at
Julia.
What are you going to do in the
desert?"
Watch"
Eyes, yes!" nodded Madame de la
Maine. And your aunt?"
Deep in a bazaar for the hospital"
smiled Miss Redmond.
Madame de la Maine regarded her
slender friend with admiration and
envy. why hadn't I thought of it?"
She rang for her maid.
Because your great-grandfather
was not a pioneer!" Miss Redmond
answered.
The sun which, all day long, held
the desert in its burning embrace,
went westward in his own brilliant
caravan.
"The desert blossoms like rose,
Therese."
Like rose?" questioned Madame
de la Maine.

tent; her white dress and Ter white

MEANING Of Yankee.

There are several conflicting the
cries regarding the origin of the
word Yankee. The most probable is
that it came from a corrupt pronun-
citation by the Indians OF the word
English, or its French from AngIais.
The term Yankee was originally ap-
piled only TO the natives of the New
England states but foreigners have
extended it to all the natives o. the
United States and dsring the Ameri-
can Civil war the s7utherners used it
as a term of reproach for all the in.

HAPPINESS HAS BEEN FOUND
Thrift, According to Banker, euaran-
tees the UnattalnabIe for Ages,
But Does lt7

Thrift" runs a banks advertise
ment in car window, where many
weary eye must see 1t night and morn
ing, us the guarantee Of happiness
Men have hunted for happiness for
many a century, hunted for it In
wealth, in power, in knowledge, in
friendship, in accomplishment, in re-
ligion, in gratified vanity, in change, in
freedom, in crowds and in solitudes.
No one has been able to fill lifetime
with happiness. 1t may not have been
intended that anyone should. In all
lives there are oases-garden spots in
the desert, with springs of clear water,
where one may lie in the shade of the
trees. But at the end of the road the
pain at least matches the comfort, I'M
happiness balances the happiness.
Sometimes old men say that life is
worth the trouble it takes to live it,
and sometimes they deny it.
But" says the advertisement in the
car, which people stare at when they
are tired of looking out of the window
or at each other, thrift is the guaran-
tee Of happiness"
Some are thrifty because they can
not possibly procure more than the
| necessities of life. Others are thrifty
from choice. They worry about their
money. They wake up in the middle
of the night, with cold sweat on their
brows, having dreamt that the bank
has failed. They deny themselves
pleasures which might have allowed
their lives to blossom out and expand.
For the sake of a problematical future
they build high walls around the pres
ent. They envy those who have more
than they, and sometimes they despise
those who have less.
With few, thrift becomes the
noblest of virtues. 1t is 80 when 1t is
practiced for the sake CT others. But
it does not guarantee happiness. We
must go little further to find the pam
acea which shall cure humanity of ills
and relieve it of its sorrows. If we
could find out the secret we should put
the seal on the philosophy of all the
ages. For philosophy is seeking after
the solution proclaimed so glibly in
the car placard. Philosophy's first
question is, whether life is worth liv-
ing, and its second question is, how 1t
may be made most worth living; that
is, happiest.
There is happiness in being without
envy, in being without hatred, in being
without fear. There is happiness in
helping others. There is happiness in
finding what one can do best, and do
ing 1t with all ones might. There is
happiness in the emotion of brother
hood, in feeling in ones own body the
flow Of great forces which sway man
kind from generation to generation.
But If we try to define happiness, or
to point the way to it, we are as futile
as the placard on the car. If there is a
road to happiness, every man must
find it for himself, and perhaps the
first step will be Remuneration and hui
mility.

It IS easily possible for the machine to reach any point within the city limits within three minutes from the time It leaves fire headquarters in Union square.
 The new piece of apparatus has not yet been officially accepted by he city, but it is expected that this formalty will be taken care of during the pres- ent week.
 As soon as the machine is ofdcialll accepted by the city the manufacturers agents here will begin the instructions of the local drivers and will give them thorough instruction in the care and operation of the machine.
 The machine is built to carry 1,OOo feet of hose in addition to all the other equipment that goes with such a ve- hicle. It has a complete chemical out fit places for bars. nozzles, acid bot ties, ladders, bars, extinguishers, etc. etc. The chemical tank, set forward holds 40 gallons.
 A big electric searchlight is fitted tc the machine, this light being of sufh- cient power to blaze a path of bril- liancy through any street or highway on the darkest night.
 The acquisition of this machine puts Putnam in the forefront of the cities l of the state in keeping it's department up to date in equipment.
 The arrival of the truck has stirred the members of the fire department with special enthusiasm and they are anxious to become familiar with the valuable piece of apparatus, which they are sure to give every care and attention that it may be of utmost ser vice when needed for the protection o1 the property in the city.
