CHAPTER II.

Hall laughed and then stood thought
full for a few moments, smoking airily,
blowing rings Then he took off his
dressing gown, put on his coat, and
had turned to his camera when Flodie
came back.
There's a desperate old fiirt out
there to see you, Mr.. Bonistelle-Mr
Doremus."
"Doremus?" Hall searched his mem
ory. What does he look like-a bill

No, he's just a nice old man with
a side-whisker effect. trimmed with a
gold chain in scallops, and he stares
at you over the top of his glasses
Hall sighed. We'll, have him in.
I'll settle him!"
Mr.. DoremuS, grave and precise,
looked about for a chair. and sat down
deliberately. He searched in the in,
side pocket of his frock coat as he
said pompously: HIM. l took the
iirst opportunity to communicate with
you, Mr.. Bonistelle. Unluckily, how.
ever, l could not get you on the tele-
phone this morning." Still his hand
groped in his pocket like a dog at a

Whether to be worn to gather yege-

to go a-marketing in the morning or
for the drive about the country every
woman wants becoming headwear.
And it seems she is destined to be
gratified, for the garden hats and sun

fair women fortify themselves to meet
the critical eyes of their peers.
Cretonnes, ginghams, chambrays, and

Not all of the good negro stories
come from the South. For instance,
there is the one told by John Poucher,
Jr., now of Omaha, though formerly
of these parts, who has been visiting
his brother-in-law, Heather" Wood,
in Louisville recently. John was q
newspaper man once, but he is preach
ing now.
He says there is an old darkey in
Omaha, who, strange as it may seem
in that latitude, never was a slave.
The old man does odd jobs of haul
ing, for which purpose he uses q
gigantic mule of tremendous strength
and equal deliberation and determine
ton. One day John asked the old
man the mules name
Dat mule am name Cooperation"
was the answer.
What on earth ever made you give
him such a name as that?" John
asked.

called to dog heaven. The dog died
in an hour after being forced to lis

just purchased the machine and was
trying it out, with a seven-dollar grand
opera record, made by several great
singers. She wanted her pet to hear
the music and held the animal before
the instrument. The dog whined pite-
ously and finally wriggled from the
arms of his mistress.
After getting loose the collie raced

When they hear the grasshoppers
are coming toward a certain locality
they call everyone out to fight them,"
one train acquaintance said, "and
everyone comes or gets in trouble.
They build bitches, and lead the grass
hoppers into pits six feet square and
deep, and I've seen one of those pits
fill in half an hour. Then they
drench the pit in kerosene and burn
'em, but it never seems to do much
good. If they can catch 'em during the
1S days when they have to hop and
can't fly they're easier to stop, but if
they start flying-good night"
The grasshoppers average two and
one-half inches to three and one-half
in length, as we found when the train
stopped. They eat every living thing
but the stalk of the grain, and don't
object to clothing. With population
so sparsely distributed they are a
grave menace. and the government,
while willing to fight them, has not
the means at present to meet the
huge estimates for a finish fight.

Washington edifice. Subway stations,

queer expression. He walked up tc

Hall threatened her with savage
playfulness. "Flodie Fisher" he said
determinedly, "if you ever dare to
mention such thing to me again

turn up and down che room as she

Flo, l honestly believe photographer

Flodie gave him an indulgent smile
"Mr. Bonistelle, l want to tell you

Change in Ermine's Color.

For long it was thought that the
hairs composing the fur of the ermine,
brown in summer and white in winter,
could not change their color, the idea
being that the difference in the hue
of the summer and winter coats Of
the animal lay solely in the fact that,
at the beginning of winter, the sum-
mer coat was shed and a new one of
snowy whiteness took it's place. Re-
cent experiments with these animals,
however, indicate that, in the case of
an ermine wearing a summer coat, it's
brown fur will, if subjected to low
ering temperature, become white and
with no shedding of the hair. 1t should
be added. however, that it is quite true
that the ordinary winter garb of the
ermine is donned only when the sum-
mer coat is discarded.

lively Short Time.

With their characteristic th>fough.
ness the Germans have set themselves
to the task of saving every wounded
soldier sent back from the front who
is not beyond their aid. They are &C.
complishing wonderful results and
thousands of disabled soldiers are
soon restored to health and sent back
to the firing line, who might have per-
ished miserably were it not for the
scientific management of German hos
pital work.
There is no neglect of the wounded
From the time a man is hurt on the
battlefield until he is installed in
hospital, perhaps far away from the
scene of his injury, all that could
possibly be done for him before he
reaches the hospital has been accom-
plished by skilled hands and when he
reaches his destination competent
surgeons, who specialize in the kind
of wound he has received, begin the
final work of healing. Instead of being
the most common operation in war
surgery, amputation Is not practiced
now, except as the last resort. Anti
septic treatment has so minimized the
danger of infection that the most des-
perately wounded soldiers are saved
and dismissed from the hospitals with
their full complement of limbs.
Not only are German surgeons do
ing splendid work, but American.
French English and Austrian sur
geons are every day performing re-
markable operations. Recently an op-
GRAFTON was performed by Prof. Albert
Tietze on a soldier who had serious
wound in his head. After large frag-
ment of shell had been removed the
x-rays showed that a small piece Of
shell remained. Professor TietZe said
this particle could not safely be left
in the skull because it might become
dislodged in future years and cause
instant death.
1t was suggested that magnet be
used to draw out the splinter. There
was no instrument of the sort avail
able, but engineers Of the telegraphic
division soon made an electro-magnet.
A motor, formerly used for running
a threshing machine, and dynamo
were requisitioned The physician took
an iron wand highly polished, and
connected it with coil. The wand
was inserted in the soldiers skull and
the fragment of shell was easily with
drawn as it clung to the end of the
iron.

At the international flower show in
New York the most interesting exhibit
was a moth orchid growing in a hu-
man skull The skull is that of an
old tribal chief of the Philippine
islands, who was killed forty years
ago by Guanu, Suriage chief, for
stealing one of the latter's wives.
Guanu kept the skull as trophy un-
til his death, when 1t was placed upon
Guanu's grave as tombstone. An
orchid took root, and as the flower
bloomed it was zealously guarded by
the natives, who thought the orchid
was the spirit Of the chief. In the
year 1902 a traveller passing through
the village saw the freak, stole 1t
from the natives and sent it to for
list. The expansion of the roots had
caused the frontal bone to crack. The
roots extend down through the skull,
and can be seen through the nasal
cavity and beneath the jaw.

dition that he is married before he

youthful friendship" Mr.. Doremus
looked up.

he demanded, and he took the instru-
ment, and read the clause over to him
self. while Mr. Doremus' eyes drifted
slowly about the apartment. How
