Colonel Lived in Cave.

The coloners quarters"
He lived in a cave scooped out of the
rock, this colonel-commandin a regi-
ment which has fought a fight that en-
titles it to Immortality cave just
long enough for camp bedstead and
a rock fireplace. and just wide enough
to permit two guests to sit side by
side on that bed and doze. Sleep came
upon US irresistibly. The hospital BILE
colonel stood outside in the raw air of
morning on the rock ledge that led to
his camp and received the reports of
the early corners among his officers. BY
and by We felt the gentle pressure of
hand upon our knees and awoke to
face the glorious panorama of the sun
rising from the sea, across the ninety
miles of plain and roughened prairie
that lay at our feet. Coffee and cog
nae were being brought. The colonel
looked at his watch From the plain
below, five or six miles away, as the
crow flies, came the dull sound of a
big gun. and a huge shell screamed
over our heads.

Blood has begun"

Up the Steep Mountain.

1t could not have been minute since
we said goodnight to our hosts and laid
down to rest on the floor under rugs
that were reminiscent of dusty marches.
Yet there was candle Pickering on the
table. and big soldier was tiptoeing
about with Turkish coffee and little
glasses of cognac and a taste of pre-
served pear by way of breakfast. Out
side the night was cold and raw with
hint of rain in the air. The first
stage of the road up Netternik must be
made at night, because of the Bulgarian
fondness for Smelling thoroughfares.
The new road winds corkscrew fash
ion up the side of the mountain. Half
the time it is within direct range of the
Bulgar guns on the Rock of Blood"
that two-hundred- feet high cliff citadel
they still hold on the summit of Vet
ternik mountain. SO that half the time
we sat our disguised horses with not
unpleasant feeling of adventure trying
to warm our cold veins. The other half
we were only conscious of intense |
sleepiness. and of the fact that roar !
ing wind sought to throw US off the |
rock bench into the depths We sensed, |
rather than saw. below us Not flick !
er OF light could be seen Overhead |
that rattle of rifle fire punctuated by |
the crash of trench cannon persisted in |
grim fashion.
My small mountain horse came to a |
standstill with a grunt of satisfaction
by the side of the road | made out in |
the gray of five o'clock two dim figures. |
Ihey were the men who We're to guide |
us on by footpaths, for the further use |
OF horses had become utterly imprac- |
ticabie. The next hour was just a |
nightmare of slip and scramble and |
cilmo. always up mere goat trails that |
the guides took in an utterly careless |
fashion, but which set our hearts !
before we had mounted fifty |
feet. Now and then a puff of wind |
brought evidence to our olfactories that |
not many days before bloody battle |
had been won by the Serbs on this hill, |
and that they had not had time or men |
to clear the field thoroughly as vet. At |
last 1t was o'clock. and were at |
the foot of hill that was half cliff, |
half rock slide. Half way up we could |
make out the dim glimmer of fire |
shining through canvas curtain. In |

Esther had not seen Hyam for
nearly year, but his absence did not
dull the tenderness of her memories.
They had come over to America as
children together, in the same ship.
Esther's father had started peddling,
and Hyam's, who had a little capital,
had opened tiny store in the heart
Of the Ghetto.
Some day said Hyams father
graciously to his old friend, "our chill.
dren shall marry. Esther. wilt thou
take my son to be thy husband when
thou art grown?"
The little girl, not knowing that the
words were half ocular, agreed in SOL
emn, childish fashion. However, fate
dispenses as she pleases, and so It
came to pass that both the fathers
died without savings, and Esther, then
fifteen, went to work in big cloth
ing store, while Hyam secured q job
as an office boy.

Esther, do you remember what our

Esther nodded and smiled. She had
always loved Hyam, but he did not

propose had anything romantic about

out her savings and gave them to

kissed her awkwardly for the first
time. So Hyam went to college, and
Esther toiled in the shop. Whenever
the other girls laughed at her as @

Potash From Bananas.

An interesting discovery Is reported
from England which is along the line
of chemical research which Is attract
ing so much attention all over the
world in utilizing the waste. An Eng
lish chemist experimental with banana
stalks to determine whether the fiber
could be used for paper making. Dur
ing the examination he noticed that
the Juice was sufficiently alkaline To
cause irritant action on the skin, with
the result that he found there was
present large percentage of potash
and practically no soda. His analysis
has been confirmed by Doctor Hanlcy
Of the Leeds university. In fact, the
figures showed that the dried matter
of the original stalks was - rich In
potash as kninit According To hi
analysis ton of banana stalks would
yield 1SS pounds of dried matter con
tuining 1874 per cent of potash, or %
pounds of ash containing 47.i per cent
Of potash, or % pounds Of pure potash

ness, and he had no children. His
eyes fell upon Esther. She attracted
him immensely He thought what a
fine wife she would make for him;
how neat and pretty she was. He be-
gan to show her little favors. He ad-
vanced her from the store to the Of
fee, for Esther was quick and had
already picked up bookkeeping. One
day he asked her to marry him.
Esther was in despair. Koch was
worth fifty thousand, and. as his wife,
she would live q life of ease. Koch
was kind man, but there was ono
element lacking-she did not love
him.
Hyam was in his third year. II she
refused Koch, he would probably dis
charge her, and that meant the end or
all Hyams hopes. She dissimulated.
She told Koch she was too young to
know her own mind. and asked him to
wait until the end OF the year. Koch,
pleased at the girls unmercenary at
ttude, readily agreed.
In Hyams last month she decided
to do something that she had never
done before-pay him a visit at the
| college. She had never wished to hu.
initiate the young man by letting his
| friends know that he was to marry a
girl who worked in a clothing store.
Secretly she had tried to improve her
self, 50 as to be able to face the world
as his wife. She had spoken to Hyam
about this, and he had laughed at her
fears, and assured her that he could
not be ashamed OF her. But Esther
was dubious. And then, though she
treasured the least afrectionate word
from him, he just took their engage
ment for granted. and never alluded

austere sanctuary of learning she felt
herself to be common little shop

side by side. Hyam had not even seen
her, and yet she was so near that she
could have stretched out her hand
and touched him. She looked at the
woman with that fierce jealousy that q
woman feels toward the man she
loves; and her fears were less for
her own hold upon her lover than for
his happiness should he love this
woman.

the fine clothing and air OF superficial

was really unworthy of him. There

HUGHES LABOR RECORD.

When Mr.. GomperS, remembering
only that he is Democrat and for.
getting that he is leader of organ.
lied labor, ventured to assert that
Mr.. Hughes is unfriendly to labor be
cause he concurred in the unanimous
decision in the Danbury hatters' case,
he ventured on very thin ice The
Chicago Tribune promptly reminds
him that an honest judge must apply
the law as he thinks 1t is, not as
he thinks 1T ought to be; and asks
him to tell those who look to him
for political advice something about
the record of Mr.. Hughes as Gov
ernor. Read what the Legislative
Labor News. the official organ of the
New York Federation -of Labor, said
editorially when Mr.. Hughes left the
Governors chair at Albany for his
place on the lsupreme court. Here IL
is:
Now that Gov. Hughes has retired
from politics and assembled to a place
on the highest judicial tribunal in the
world, the fact can be acknowledged
without hurting anybody's political
corns that he was the greatest friend
OF labor laws that ever occupied the
Governors chair at Albany. During
his two terms he has signed fifty-sfx
labor laws. including among them the
best labor laws ever enacted in this
or any state.
He also urged the enactment of
labor laws in his messages to the
Legislature. even going so far as to
place the demand for labor law in
one OF his messages to an extra ses-
sion of the legislature
Only 1872 labor laws have been
enacted in this state since its erec-
ton in 1777-in 133 years. One-third
of these, exceeding In quality all of
the others, have been enacted and
signed during Gov. Hughes term of
three years and nine MONTHS
Let organized labor take to heart

this point: Mr.. Hughes is no DEM

man of courage and conscience, and
