And viii Never Forget the Experience

The coffee drinker who has suffered
and then been completely relieved by
changing from coffee to Postum knows
something valuable. There's no doubt
about 1t.
Il learned the truth about coffee in
peculiar way" says a California wom-
an. My husband who has, for years,
been Of a bilious temperament decided
to leave off coffee and give Postum
trial, and as did not want the trouble
of making two beverages for meals 1
concluded to try Postum, too. The re-
suits have been that while. my husband

self received even greater benefit.

company to quell the trouble in the
mountains, should have been a soldier
by profession. All his enthusiasms
were martial.
The deepest sorrow and mortiflca-
ton he had ever known was that which
came to him when Tamarack Spicer,
his prisoner of war and a man who had
been surrendered on the strength of
his personal guaranty, had been as
sassinated before his eyes. In some
fashion, he must make amends. He
realized, too, and it ranked deeply,
that his men were not being genuinely
used to serve the state, but as instru-
ments of the Hollmans, and he had
seen enough to distrust the Hollmans.
Here, in Hixon, he was seeing things
from only one angle. He meant to
learn something more impartial.

WAR TERMS NOT UNDERSTOOD
"Forlorn Hope" for Instance, Has Not
the Meaning With Which It
Is Credited.

In the course of every war one
hears great deal about ''forlorn
hopes" The term is one of the most
misused in the vocabulary of war. 1t
is commonly misunderstood to mean
lost troop"-that is detached
troop" The word hope" in the
phrase is not an English but Dutch
word, hoop" meaning literally
heap" and secondarily body OF
troops. The word "forlorn" represents
the Dutch "verloren"-lost. A "ver-
loren hoop was a detached body Of
troops thrown out in front Of the main
line of battle to find the enemy
and engage them first. This was the
regular sixteenth and seventeenth
century practice, and though it was
one of the more dangerous kinds OF
service it was not desperate or, In
the English sense, forlorn. Nowadays
much the same work is done by the
detached bodies of cavalry which are
thrown out before the main line to ind
the enemy.
"Capitulation" is another term OF
war, which is very loosely used. 1t
does not mean surrender, but sur
render on terms; in fact, it means the
terms, not the surrender. 1t is from
the Latin "capitulum" or heading
(from which is derived our word
"chapter"), and a capitulation is g
formal treaty of surrender drawn UT
under series of headings or chap
ters, embodying the terms on each
point.

streets Of Hixon as a stranger. And,
after leaving Hixon, there was a mis-
sion to be performed at Jesse Purvy's
store. AS he thought of that mission
a grim CLINT came to his pupils.
All journeys end, and as Samson
passed through the tawdry cars of the
local train near Hixon he saw several
faces which he recognized, but they
either eyed him in inexpensive silence
or gave him the greeting of the fur
riner."
As Samson crossed the toll bridge
to the town proper he passed two
brown-shirted militlamen, lounging on
the rail of the middle span. They
grinned at him, and, recognizing the
outsider from his clothes, one Of them
commented:
"Ain't this the hell of town."
TITS going to be-" replied Samson
enigmatically, as he went on.
Still unrecognized, he hired a horse
at the livery stable, and for two hours
rode in silence, save for the easy
creaking Of his stirrup feathers and
the soft thud of hoofs.
The silence soothed him. The brood
ing hills lulled his spirit as grooming
song lulls a fretful child. Mile after
mile unrolled forgotten vistas. Some
thing deep in himself murmured:
"Home!"
1t was late afternoon when he saw
ahead of him the orchard of Purvy's
place, and read on the store wall, a
little more weather stained, but other
wise unchanged:
Jesse PurVy, General Merchandise"
The porch of the store was empty,
and as Samson flung himself from his
saddle there was no one to greet him.
This was surprising since, ordinarily,
two or three of Purvy's personal
guardsmen loafed at the front to watch
the road. Just now the guard should
logically be doubled. Samson still
wore his eastern clothes--for he want
ed to go through that door unknown.
AS Samson South he could not cross
it's threshold either way. But when
he stepped up on to the rough porch

Woman's Logic.

You sometimes wonder about the
logic of the feminist mind.
A man was to meet his wife at her
Office at one o'clock to take luncheon
with her. He was 20 minutes late. She
had gone out.
He sat down and waited. At 1880
she arrived.
"what are you doing here?" she
asked.
I'm waiting for you"
Didn't you know / wouldn't come
back after I'd given you up and gone
out?"
''But you did come back, didn't you?
You are back now, aren't your"
eyes, but you might have known
that when did come back would
have had my lunch, and there would
be no use in waiting to have it with
me-"
"Well. have you had it,"
"No."--Denver News.

Slowly Samson South came to his
feet. His voice was in the dead-level
pitch which Wilfred had once before
heard. His eyes were as clear and
hard as transparent flint.

he said. quietly. But you must get

mo bad news, hope" suggested
Lescott.
For an instant Samson forgot his
four years of veneer. The century Of
prenatal barbariem broke out fiercely.
He was seeing things far away-and
forgetting things near by. His eyes
blazed and his fingers twitched.
"Hell, moi" he exclaimed. "The
wars on, and my hands are freed!"
For an instant, as no one spoke, he
stood breathing heavily, then, wheel
ing, rushed toward the house as
though just across its threshold lay
the fight into which he was aching
to hurl himself.

The yard and orchard we're quiet from
their front fence to the grisly stock
ade at the rear, and, wondering at
these things, the young man stood for
a moment looking about at the after
noon peace before he announced him
self.
Yet Samson had not come to the
stronghold of his enemy for the pur-
pose of assassination. There had been
another object in his mind-an utterly
mad idea, it is true, yet so bold of
conception that it held a ghost of
promise. He had meant to go into
Jesse Purvy's store and chat artlessly,
like some inquisitive "furriner." He
would ask questions which by their
very impertinence might be forgiven
on the score of strangers folly. But.
most of all, he wanted to drop the cas-
