THE DAILY STORY.
DADDY. '
Copyright, 1915. by W. Werner.


Mrs. Roger Temple. jr., was prepar-
ing dinner and watching Roger Temple
III. playing on screened balcony.
Roger is going to have a fine rice pud-
ding for dinner" she called to him.
Roger III, dimpling at her over his
shoulder, shrilled excitedly Daddy,
too" Daddy tumin', muvver?'
She paled and shivered. and put him
off with empty promises. stilling the
fretful wall, but l want daddy, muv-
ver." Then she turned again to their
dinner, but she had to close her eyes
for a moment to shut out his eager
little face.
When she had made her plans for
leaving home and her small sons father
she supposed she had carefully cal
culated all the pangs the separation
that small son of barely three would
call necessarily for daddy. She had not
counted on the sweet little voice adding
to loneliness and pain She had dwelt
on the ecstasy of having his care en-
tirely in her own hands, with no Mrs.
Roger Temple. ST., near, offic1ously ad-
vising and experimenting.
Mrs. Roger Temple, sr., was the big
factor in her problem. She lived next
door, and. while she was a good. kind

were strained. Betty's city ways an
noyed her, and. though she earnestly
strove to hide the fact from Betty, un-
fortunately she voiced it TO Mrs. Some
body -or-o other, who told Mrs. Some
body-else, who told Betty. That set
tied it. Ever after Betty mistrusted
Mrs. Roger Temple, sr., for she talk

The arrival of Roger III. <eaSed mat
ters somewhat. For year after his
birth Betty was not strong. and though
the presence of her baby was mar
velously sweet, there were moments
when it was a relief to know that he
was next door being -crooned over by
his grandmother. But when she re-
gained her health she did not relish
the idea of Mrs. Roger Temple. sr.,
having him just when she. saw fit.
Furthermore, the knowledge that
Roger III. gurgled happily as he was
carried away aroused a flaming ma
ternal jealousy. She wanted her baby
to herself. to raise in her way, not in

was whenever man appeared upon
their horizon that he became a little
live wire, running away from Betty
with a delicious cry of Daddy 1t
was beautiful to see his happy. eager
face: but it was heart breaking to
watch him come slowly back to her,
Il sad little picture of disappointment.
Betty Temple" d voice rebuked.
cant you see you're defrauding your
small son shamefully?" She decided
the park was Il failure, and very
gladly entered her sitting room an
hour later.
She sat by a window holding her
boy silently. He seemed very quiet.
At home this was his lively hour
daddy's homecoming hour. She could
see him rushing down their pretty,
winding walk to meet daddy, with
arms outstretched. his whole little
person breathing happiness: And she
saw also, so very plainly, daddy COM
ing to where she waited in the door
way, his son on his shoulder. She
saw his eyes flash their welcome into
her own. She felt his kiss on her
lips
tear splashed on the small face
on her breast. She wiped it away
swiftly Little son was drifting into
the land of childish dreams, but he
looked up drowsily. Daddy tumin'

She held him convulsively.
Next morning, very early, she went

The Future to Russia.
From the Century.

Whatever may happen to the other
nations whose swords are crossed in
the great conflict that is now waging,
no one expects that the destiny of the
colossus of the north will be serious
ly interfered with. France may be
overrun or a similar fate may over :
take Germany; Austria may disappear
from the map or the British empire
may be broken up; but between Rus
sia and any great harm still lie those
impenetrable spaces where the armies
of Napoleon lie buried-those armies
that Europe has not forgotten. When
the swords that are now clashing are
put up and the game is over, Ger
many and Austria or England and
France may divide the present, but the
future belongs to Russia.

Teeth and other SkeletaI remains of
a horse, very much like the modern

Remains OF Horse found. TIL
o. again raises the
~ Ia ques ion of
whether the horse is Indigenous to
North America. 1t is a generally ac
cepted fact that the mustangs of the
western plains sprang from stock
brought over by the Spaniards, and
that there were no horses in America
before that time. This, however, has
never been proved, and the discovery
that horses lived in this country dur
ing the pleistocene era tends to make
1t even more doubtful.
Another puzzling find was that of the
skeleton of great antelope, similar
to the Gland of Africa. but possibly
even larger, for an ankle bone found
was larger than that of an OK. This is
considered to support the theory that
the continents of the two hemispheres
were once connected by a land bridge,
probably across Bering strait.
In a word, the pleistocene caves at

It is veritable sepulchre of departed
monsters. Upon the tables lie skulls

hairy elephants that once roamed the
northern part of this continent. Thigh

a corps of skilled WorEmen are con-
stantly at work upon these specimens,
chiseling them out of the rock, put

ter casts of missing parts in order to
complete the skeletons. The skill with
which the precious fragments are
treated is amazing. Often what reaches
the museum is merely great block
of limestone with a single bone visible
on top of it. With infinite patience
all of the other parts of the skeleton

will be repaired with plastero paris,
and assembled into a complete skeleton.

An Important Find

4 u m r and
Md. The Western Maryland railroad

cliff, when the workmen began throw

animals. They were bit puzzled at
finding this collection of bones a hum

DIGGING FOR DINOSAURS.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

Not long ago mining company
operating in Colorado desired to find
n vein of soft coal near its shafts for
use as fuel in its engine room. and
practical gcologist was engaged to
prospect the region. There is a great
deal of soft coal in the Colorado noun
tains, lying in the formations of the
Cretaceous period, but the geologist re-
ported that all of the Cretaceous rock
had been weathered away in that
region, and that it was useless to look
for coal. He found. however. single
petrified tooth of some large animal,
and sent it to the paleontologists of
the National Museum in Washington
FOR identification. From that one molar
they were able to say positively that
The tooth had belonged to 'pa1eo-
syops," Il creature something like
rhlnoceros which lived in the Eocene
period. Now the Eocene strata immedt-
stely overlie those of the Cretaceous
period: and the miners were informed
that If they would dig deep enough
they would find coal. A shaft was sunk
through the upper layers of rock and
the coal promptly uncovered.
1t is not unusual for paleontologists
positively to determine the age of a
given stratum of rock from a single
bone. but the above instance is an ex-
cellent illustration of the practical
value OF paleontOloBy.
The necessity for digging UP the
bones OF animals that have been dead
Il few million years is not apparent to
the layman. When informed that stego-
Saurs standing twenty feet high and
Weighing fifteen tons inha bited what is
now the state of Montana about S.000.-
600 years ago, he regards the fact as
a curious rather than an important
one. But it is important because the
forests In which the stegosaurs roamed
havo become the coal beds of today,
and the huge fossilized bones of those
prehistoric reptiles identify the coal
bearing rock wherever they are found.
The periods In the worlds physical
development are all represented by
strata of rock. but these do not lie
neatly one above the other. They have
been faulted, upheaved. melted and
croded until there is neither order nor
system about them. Geology, with all
OF It's practical applications, is based
upon the identification of these various
strata, and the animals that lived in
the periods when they were laid down
are their most unmistakabIe char
acteristics.

Smithsonian Institution have made some

New Horned Dinosaur
Found in Montana.

CernIng the
animals that inhabited the United
States in prehistoric times. In north
western Montana excavations were
made in some deposits of the Creta-
ceous era. which was the period when
the dinosaurs dominated this con-
tinent: and Il new horned dinosaur. no
larger than a COW, and the smallest of
its kind. was discovered. The authori-
ties of the museum were particularly
proud of the specimen secured, because
~ had complete tail and a complete
hlndfoof, being the first horned dino
saur whose skeleton has come down to
poster1ty IN such a fine state of pres
crvation.
Ihe dinosaurs and the age in which
they lived have probabIy attra cted more
popular attention than any other phase
or geology. Romances have been writ

them as they must have looked in

nave even been cartooned in the comic
papers. Yet their real nature is little
understood They were all reptiles. but

various mammals which dominate the
earth today. Thus. some of the dino
saurs we're carnivorous, and proved
upon others which were grazing ami

a large part of the world was covered
with marshy forests. and when these
