Dust Clouds Armies Make.

An army on the march along dry
roads naturally throws up very heavy
dust clouds. To those who haven't
been trained one dust cloud looks very
much like another, but to a soldier
these dust clouds tell very clear
story.
The dust clouds thrown IN by in
fantry, for example, hangs in low
thick cloud. The longer the cloud
the more men underneath it, and a
scout can, by this means, make fair
" accurate guess of the number OF
men on the march
Cavalry on the march sends up a
dust cloud that is much higher and
thinner than that of infantry. The
most distinctive of these dust clouds
however, is that made by wagons and
heavy guns. The dust rises in little
groups of clouds, quite different from
the long clouds of cavalry and In
fantry.
So even when unable to see the
actual cause of the dust, a scout can
tell many miles away what kird OF
force is passing along road.

or not they would be suitable suit
ors," etc.
The advice is good, sound and
healthy, but the arrow of judgment
is aimed at a mark it is not liable to
hit once in thousand times. The
average maiden is not supposed to be
any wiser than her years. She has
not had that grand, hard-headed
teacher called experience to point out
where the shoals and pitfalls in loves
path may be cleverly concealed,
which she must avoid.
She does not know the existence of
such being as love shark,
she is therefore trustful and, true to
her sweet girlish nature. confding.
The heart of youth warns easily and
quickly from friendship to love. A
few meetings, clasping of the hands,
eyes looking tenderness into eyes that
respond and the sleeping heart of a
young girl awakens. That is love.
She asks not if he has house or
lands, if his ancestors were kings or
peasants, in short what the future
outlook is to be- She only knows that
life would be incomplete to her with
out the presence of him who has
grown dear to her.
The woman clever with the knowl-
edge of years is competent to affiX a
sliding scale of value to a would-be
wooer; first and foremost taking into
consideration his ability as a money
maker, his possessions, inherited or ac-
quired. If he is rich, she shuts her
eyes to many of the moral delin-
quencies she has observed in his ma
ture, but hers is not love.
The young girl does not realize that
there can be grave perils in choosing
and loving the wrong man, whose
morals are gravely at fault. and who
has no high ideals of the sanctity OF
love and marriage which should last
a lifetime. For that reason much care
in safeguarding innocent young girls
should be exercised by those who have
their welfare at heart, and the power
to permit the young man of good
habits to call and to bar their door to
the handsome Lothario who has a
mania for breaking g-is' hearts and
leaving them to mourn. 1t is murder
pure and simple of the girls hopes,
peace and her heart, but it is not pun
ishable by law.
The majority of very young girls
are not competent to judge between
honest young men and libertines. No
harm is done at the first meeting of
the latter; it is by meeting the per-
suasive ne'er-do-well again and again
the mischief creeps in. Great care
should be taken to keep innocent
lambs out OF the reach of these love
sharks.
1t is for the old and wise to decide
whether a man should be welcomed
to the sacred family freside or be ex-
Guided from it. Young girls should
be pitied for having such a RESPONSE
bility thrust upon them. They make
their choice blinded by the trustful-
ness of unsuspecting youth. There is
only one way in which young girls
can be made to safeguard themselves,
and that is to be taught the dangers
that lie in secret love affairs, and,
above all else, not to have confidence
in the man who counsels it, no matter
what smooth reason he may artfully
set forth. Do not keep love affair
from your folk, dear girls, if you
would have it prosper and turn out
well.

If he is walking up the street with a
her silk hangbag, from which her
handkerchief flies out, he calamity
rushes after it an entire block, breath
lessly, until he has found and returned
to her the bit of linen. He assures
her that he has been to no trouble:
that it was a pleasure for him to do
so slight a favor for her
Thus his politeness is in evidence
wherever he goes, especially when his
supreme desire is to WOO certain wom-
en-. Rich. and even well-to-do women,
who often turn down admirers whom
they look upon as having an eye to
their wealth are completely charmed
by the suave. soothing manner of the
polite wooer. 1t is useless for their
well-meaning friends to give one
adverse opinion which would tend to
prejudice them against him. They
only waste breath in this vain at
tempt. The polite man never loses
ground with the fair sex, but is sure
10 pIedSS Inem- Against all OQQS he
is a never-failing heart wooer. His
hasty-tempered rival may have q ten
times kindlier nature, may love the
woman for herself alone, and be will
ing to endow her with considerable
of his earthly goods. Weighing both
in the balance, she declares she could
only be satisfied with the polite wooer
as a life partner. The frank, out
spoken sutton wastes his time when
he comes accounting, hoping to cut out
his rival. her polite adorer. He is
honest and blunt and all the words he
says to her are worth gold, if she but
needed them.
Politeness is not only a valuable
asset in the maner in which women
are wooed, but in many instances
dear, sweet memories arise in the
bosom of loved ones as they fondly
recall many acts of gentle, manly po-
likeness, while others passed them in
neglect. Politeness costs nothing. 1t
warns hearts and brings CHEEKY, good
results.

right There could be but one end to
this adventure. Oliver would be

turned toward the house.
Don't mention your fears to the
young lady," said he. "At least. not
till we are well past the gully"
Il shan't mention anything. Don't
you be afeared of that"
And with simultaneous effort diff
cult for both, they assumed a more
cheerful air. and briskly entered the
house.
1t was not until they were well upon
the road back that Reuther ventured
to speak of Oliver She was riding as
far from the edge of the precipice as
possible In descent it looked very
formidable TO her unaccustomed eye.
This is a dangerous road for a
man to ride bareback she remarked.
I'm terrified when l think of it, Mr..
Black Why did he go off quite so
suddenly? Is there a train he is anx-
ious to reach? Mr.. Sloan. is there a
train?"
Eyes, miss, there is train"
(Which he can get by riding fast?"
"T've known it done!"
Then be is excusable." Yet her
anxious glance stole ever and again
to the dizzy verge toward which she
now unconsciously urged her own
horse till Mr.. Black drew her aside.
A, half-hour's further descent, then
quick turn and Mr.. Sloan. who had
ridden on before them. came galloping
hastily back.
Mr.. Black Fastened to meet their
guide. What now?" he asked. Have
they come together? Have the de-
tectives got him?"
mo, not him; only his horse. The
animal has just trotted up-riderless.
Good God The child's instinct

mo" Mr.. Sloan's mouth was close
to the lawyers ear. There's another
explanation. If the fellow is game,
and anxious enough to reach the train
to risk his neck for it, there's a path
he could have taken which would get
him there without his coming round
this turn" Then as Reuther came
ambling up: Young lady, don't let
me scare you, but it looks now as if the
young man had taken a short cut to
the station. Look back along the edge
of the precipice for about half a mile
and you will see shooting up from the
gully a solitary tree whose topmost
branch reaches within few feet OF
the road above"

glance fell IN the one red splash
showing against the dull gray of the
cliff

Tell, oh, tell me, grizzled face,
Does your heart and head keep pace?
All, the thin, old lips reply,
Youth may pass and strength may die;
But of love 1 can't foretoken,
Ask some older sage than l.
II young girls could map out their
future, guide their destiny into which
ever channel most appealed to them,
few. if any. would go astray Each
would meet a good, honest young man
and after the regulation sweet and
tender courtship, would wed and set
tie down to an honored domestic life
blessed by loyal husband and loving,
merry children
In their innocence and ignorance of
the world they are apt to look upon
each young man who approaches them
with apparent admiration as the
heart mate intended. Their lives are
purified or marred by the men with
whom they are brought into contact.
If they are girls who cannot be shell
tered az home by careful parents, but
must make their own way in the world
in Office, shop or factory, and have
beauty in addition to youth, more often
than not they are subject to grave
perils and temptation that other
women never know. 1t usually begins
by some rich ne'er-do-well singing a
girl out, as she goes to and from her
work, by persistent effort succeeding
in breaking down the barriers of her
maidenly modesty by inveigling her
into Irritation. The girl is f1attered,
hope rises with her to accompany him
to nearby fine restaurant for lunch
con.
This type of scoundrel is sure to
bind the girl to the utmost secrecy
whispering that no one must know of
their little romance, and growing at
tachment.
If the girl ignorantly refuses to keep
the affair secret, withstanding the
temptation of dining and auto rides,
the rascal has no intention of wasting
time with her, but finds an excuse to
fall out with her, letting her go her
way, turning his attention to some
other pretty maiden who is as foolish
as she is fair and not proof against
temptation in a fine setting. The first
girl goes her way, leads an honest
life and is rewarded by her good an
gel soon or late
The girl who is fiattered by the man
with the polite manner, smooth ways,
beguiling smile and proficiency in love-
making and lured to cafes, joy rides
and clandestine meetings, keeping her
own counsel, has made her own bed,
which she will find inexpressibly hard.
There will be few, if any, to pity
her At an early age girls should be
made to understand the difference be-
tween right and wrong, what to fear
and what to encourage, and above all
else that a true lover never, never
comes in the guise of a tempter. Sc
cret love affairs are harmful.

The claim, so all is rendered up.
Those who mix and mingle with
many men have a fair way of
judging the part which politeness
plays in wooing women. The polite
spoken man may have less apparent
advantages than the man who was
born with a golden spoon in his
mouth, having hard time to edge his
way into the society of young women.
But when once he obtains an intro
duction which he has desired for some
time he makes his way clear, for he
is pretty well trained fer conflict and
victory.
He is the kind of man who wants
his young hostess to know that he
likes to crop in, without any formal
ity, to her house and enjoy a nice
little chat without fuss or putting her

and sisters may rush pell nell into
