We rested, doing, but neither sound

ever might be in Taylor's mind, the
lonely night had brought to me a new
thought relative to my companion.
The fellow was evasive, and once he
had frankly lied in seeking to explain
his presence in the valley, and the rea-
son for his secrecy of movement. BY

crinoIine in History.

The oft-threatened return of the
crinoline, prophesied by alarmists of
fashion, leaves US all wondering. We
find that the crinoline was first worn
in the sixteenth century by Spanish
princess, who used it to conceal her
love letters from forbidden admirer.
According to pictures of Queen Eliza
beth, she was the first to wear it in
England, a writer in the ST. Louis
Post-Dispatch states. Perhaps she
wore it for the same reason. She had
need of pockets to hide such, provided
all her admirers wrote to her Among
her earlier portraits we find that her
dress resembled that of Queen Mary,
her sister. The skirts of these were
simply widened at the bottom.

No nsmoke Of RattIey Now.

One of the marked features of the
European conflict that distinguish it
from the wars of the past is the abb
sence of smoke on the firing line. Ow--
ing to the use of smokeless powder,
no smoke is made when rifle is dis
charged, while the heaviest artillery
throws off nothing more than a thin
mist that is invisible hundred yards
away and disappears within few sec
onds after the gun is fired. Only
when shrapnel or a shell explodes in
the enemy's line is there anything Wis
ible in the way of smoke, the whole
purpose being to conceal the position
of the guns throwing the projeetiles
while making the points where the
proiectiles explode clearly visible. The
expression, the smoke of battle" SO
faithfully descriptive of the wars OF
the past, has little meaning when APP
piled to a modern war.-Popular Me-

HEIRS TO DEAD GREATNESS
Victor and Louis Napoleon, "The
French Pretenders," Celebrate
Their Birthday Same Week.

Both the Napoleon brothers, Victor
and Louis, famous for their mirth-
provoking act entitled THE French
Pretenders," celebrated birthdays re-
Gently on the same week. Louis, the
younger. passed the half-century mark.
while Prince Victor Napoleon, who
would sit on the imperial throne OF
France II the republic hadn't de-
stroyed that piece of furniture, was
fifty-two. Loui5 was Victor's heir to
the pretendership until about a year
ago, when son was born to Victor
and his royal spouse, Princess Glenn
entine of Belgium.
Victor Is a grandnephew of En-
peror Napoleon |. He lives in Brus-
sells, and in 1910 married Clementine,
the third daughter OF King Leopold
OF Belgium. The birth of another
Bonaparte was hailed with great de-
light by the few followers OF the pre-
tender and the pretenderess. and the
christening Of the infant Prince Louis
King of Rome" was marked by Inn
perial pomp and eclat. The cere-
mony took place in the palatial prem
ises of the proud papa in the Avenue
Louise. Most of the imperialists of
France were there, and did not crowd
the buildings.
Prince Louis, the younger brother
of the pretender. is apparently con.
flrmed bachelor. He served in the
Russian army for many years, with
rank of lieutenant general, but now
resides at Geneva, where the Napo-
Icons own a fine chateau.

A mother writes: Our children are
all so much better and stronger than
they ever were before we made a
change in the character of the food.
We have quit using potatoes three

fruit, either fresh, stewed, or canned,
some Grape-Nuts with cream, occa.

some Postum for breakfast and sup

meat and vegetables.
1T would be hard to fully describe
the change in the children. they have
grown so sturdy and strong, and we
attribute this change to the food ele-
