The details of the scheme had been
worked out with care. AS soon as
the phone call was turned in the two
conspirators hurried to Dicks house
and Nell called up Olive.
"You and the doctor come .over,"
she said over the wire. "The Par
sons are here. Not at home?
You come then. He'll know where to
find you when he gets back. I'll send
Dick to walk over with you" Dick
was at that moment waiting with his
hand on the doorknob and when Nell
nodded her head he shot out of the
door.
After an hour of poking around in
dirty cabins and being answered with
Il dunno" or a shrug of the shoul-
ders, it finally dawned on DR.. Ellison
that he was the goat and he chugged
his machine and steered for home,
Everything was dark there and lock-
ed securely. He put up his machine
and let himself into the house to see
if there was any note for him.
81 know where she is," he reflected
when nothing was found, and started
for the Mortons.
WAS the man badly hurt?" asked
Olive with true wifely concern.
His injuries were mostly in his
eye" The doctor was looking at the
two men.
"How terrible!" exclaimed Olive,
but the men burst out laughing.
"And his feelings were badly
hurt" continued the doctor. Olive
looked from one to the other in be-
wilderment.
"If you see that he has nourishing
food he will come out all right" sug-
gested Parsons.
"Yes, l told Jacobson that l
thought from present indications
that you would be hungry at about
nine O'clock" Knocked Dick. Light
broke over Olives face.
"The eats are up to you, Doc, and
the phone is at your service" Dick
slapped him on the back.
"Send out something especially in
digestible for these two men," he
called over the phone. "I'll get even
with them by refusing to give them
any medicine" He grinned as he
hung up the receiver.

Lets have it an injury from fall
or something like that; everyone
would naturally know about such a
thing and their ignorance will finally
make him see light" suggested Par
sons.
Good! We can hire boy to rush
into drug store and tell the propri-
etor to call DR.. Ellison, then skip out
before he can ask particulars" Dick
chuckled over the possibilities of his
plan. "While he is gone, Nell must
call Olive over to our house and keep
her there, so that he will come back
to an empty house. The clan will be
at our house and when he appears
we will suggest that it is up to him
TO feed us. He'll do that, all right"
at will be good thing 70 tell Ole
Jacobson, who keeps the restaurant,
that DIR. Ellison will probably be
taken with desire to feed six people
this evening so he will not keep US
waiting too long," put in Parsons.
Good stunt. Give him time and
he puts up a meal that's not half
bad" said Dick approvingly. y

CURRENT LURES BIRDS.
Magnetic Meridian Said to Influence
Feathery Creatures.

In finding their way, birds of pass
age are said to be influenced by the
magnetic meridian. NJ. A. Thauzies,
a French specialist in carrier pigeons
has recently disclosed some interest
ing information respecting their per-
ception of terrestrial magnetic cur
rents.
That the sense of direction in these
birds is influenced by such currents
is believed TO be proven by the fact
that during day in July, 1906, and
another in August, 1907, the results
OF numerous flights by carrier pigeons
were very unsatisfactory. Pigeon
fanciers, meteoroloElsts and astrorl-
omers who were consulted could give
no explanation. A specialist in cleo
tro-magnetic research found what he
believes to be q solution.-World's
Advance.

SUPPLANTS Lime
IN BUILDING WORK
GYPSUM WAS USED IN CON-
STRucTIoN OF ANCIENT.
PYRAMIDS.
Renaissance of Gypsum Came In 1s4o
by She epherd.

by Shepherd.
In the past thirty years gypsum has
supplanted lime as a plastering and
building material. While the use of
1856, and the use of lime has CORE
spondingly decreased, it is a curious
fact that of gypsum the pyramids
were built and the material was we'll
known to the ancient Greeks. With
the decline of early Greek and Egyp-
tian civilization the use of gypsum
was apparently unknown until the
latter part of the fifteenth century,
when Paris shepherd stumbled
across it's value. Ever since the plas.
ter has been known as plaster of par
is, although now it is used in many
forms.
The remnants of the plaster over
the pyramid of Cheops shows unmis
takably that it was made from gyp-
sum. The Cheops was completed
somewhere between 1900 and 1000
years B. c., so the use of gypsum is
probably close to 6,000 years old. The
early writings of Aristotle, Pliny.
Theophrastus and other Greek philos-
ophers shows that gypsum and its
uses were known TO them. Being soft,
white and translucent, it come to be
carved into vases and other orna-
ments and was also used in temple
walls for the admission of light before
the discovery of glass.
The renaissance of gypsum came
about in 1s40 A. d. The Paris shep-
herd made a fire in a hearth of loose
stones. The heat calcined some of
the stones, causing them to crumble
into a fine white powder, which was
shortly wet by storm and converted
into plaster. When the plaster dried
and set, it cemented the other stones
together into solid hearth. Thus
came about the discovery of plaster
of paris"
The value of gypsum soon spread
| to other countries and now is mined
in France, England, Germany, Swift
zerland, Italy, Sicily, Canada, New
| foundland, United States and parts
| of South America. Calcined gypsum
is used, among other ways, in the
manufacturer Of partition tile, plaster
| board, wall plasters, and to make
molds for hats, pottery and rubber
stamps, in dental and surgical work,
as filler in paint and paper, for in
terror decorating and for temporary
structures, such as fair buildings.
Crude gypsum is used in Portland
cement manufacture, for soil dress
ing, as an aduiterant in flour, sugar
and baking powder, and in the manu-
facture of crayons. Blocks of clear
white gypsum called alabaster are
used by artists and sculptors. So il
may be seen that ancient Egyptians
were aware of the use of one of oul
they plastered the commodious sides
of old Cheops with gypsum.
Like limestone, gypsum belongs tC
the line containing group of minerals
but is a sulpha"e. while limestone i;
a carbonate. The process of utilizing
gypsum is extremely simple. 1t /:
heated until the water is driven off a!
steam, leaving behind a white pow
der which has the power of taking VI
water again and becoming hard. Th'
fundamental principle was we'll know
to the Egyptians and Greeks, al
though of course, they could not hav,
been aware of the manifold uses t,
which modern ingenuity has put tn
soft, white, marble.like rock.
