When Tommy SWore.

Here is minor tragedy of the war
but a very real one, says the London
Mirror. Tommy had not tasted tea
for days: he was longing for tea with
an intensity which only comes upon
one in French village. He had just
enough tea and sugar to make one
tinful, but no hot water, and no
French with which to ask for it. With
wild gesticulation he sought to explain
to a woman his need She took the
tin of tea and sugar and disappeared
into her cottage. Anon she emerged
triumphant, with the tin full of cold
water and Tommy's whole stock Of tea
floating about in it. Then it was that
French came to him. He says he
spoke 1t like a--trooper

Lorraine who early established them
selves at Zutfen. They were excellent
craftsmen. producing bells of peculiar
beauty OF form. and possessed a mar

was the golden age Of carillon-making.

CHAPTER XIII.
1.-THE Stranger"

Where was Elma? What was the
cause of her inexplicable disappear
ance into the gloomy forest while we
had slept?
returned to the hotel where had
stayed on my arrival, comfortable
place called the Phoenix, and lunched
there alone. Both Felix, the Finn,
and my host, the wood cutter, had re-
ceived their douceurs and left, but to
the last-named l had given instruc-
tons to return home at once and re-
port by telegraph any news of my lost
one.
A thousand conflicting thoughts
arose within me as / sat in that crowd
ed sale a manger filed with a COB
bling crowd of the commercial men of
Abo. had, / recognized, now to deal
with the most powerful man in that
country, and l suffered a distinct dis
advantage by being in ignorance of
the reason he held that sweet English
girl a prisoner. The tragedy of the
dastardly manner in which she had
been willfully manned caused my
blood to boil within me. had never
believed that In this civilized twen-
tieth century such things could be.
Why she had disappeared without
warning was at loss to imagine, yet
l could only surmise that her flight
had been compulsory. Another very
curious feature in the affair was the
sudden manner in which Michael Bo-
ranski had exacted his power and in
fluence in order to render me that
service.
There was. felt convinced, some
hidden motive in all that sudden and
marked friendliness. That he really
hated the English had seen plainly
when we had first met, and had only
compelled him to serve me by present
ing the order signed by the emperor,
which made me his guest within the
Russian dominions. Even that docu-
ment did not account for the length
he had gone to secure the release of
the woman now loved in secret.
l could not bring myself to leave
Finland. and allow Elma to fall into
the clutches of that high official who
so persistently sought her end. No.
would go to him and face him. I
was anxious to see what manner of
man was "The Stranger of Finland"
That same evening l left Abo, and
travelled by rail to Helsingfors.
At noon / descended from a drosky
before long, gray, massive building,
over the big doorway of which was a
large escutcheon bearing the Russian
arms emblazoned in gold. and on en-
tering where sentry stood on either
side, a colossal concierge in livery of
bright blue and gold came forward to
meet me.
Following his directions, l crossed
a great, bare courtyard, and, ascend.

fronted by a servant, who took nv

HAS MODEL OF
VALUABLE INVENTION

Stuart Mayer, familiarly known as
Babe, is down from Wells where he
has charge of the Western Pacific
pumping plant. He has with him a
model of his improvement on the
crank shaft for gasoline and steam
engines, and a number of local me.
chanics who saw ii today did not hest.
tate in saying that his invention
promised to revolutionize auto and To-
motive engines. An actual working
model OF ten horsepower has just been
turned out in the S. F. shops and will
be given thorough testing. This
new idea, may be attached to any en-
Sine, and If ii proves all that is ex-
pected for it Mr.. Mayer and his as.
sociates have big fortune in sight.
The shaft instead of being crooked
is perfect straight, and with each
revolution of the shaft there are three
explosions in gasoline engine in.
stead OF one as at present. Thus with
two cylinders power Is generated of
gine. This gives practically uniform
power, and will reduce the weight Of
engines and their cost of construction
to one third.
While it is impossible to give a
comprehensive idea of the invention
on paper without Illustrations, the
model shows 1t to be both simple and
practicable and everyone who has
seen il is enthusiastic over il.
One of the great benefits to be de.
rived from the invention by the cut.
ting down of weight will be to flying
machines, for with one-third of the
weight now used the same efficiency
will be had.
The invention is fully covered by
patients, and big power model will
soon be in operation 10 show to manu-

Ralph Brown was in town this morn

the water in the wen single inch.
There was nothing serious the mat

Critchley soon had it in running ord

Then commenced the work OF dig

went through foot OF hard pan. Be

take the thrust of a shovel handle
