THREW BACK ENEMY'S BOMBS
Australians in the Trenches at CALI
poll Became Expert at the
Dangerous Game.

Capt. G. e. Bean, official representa-
tive with the Australian expeditionary
forces in Gallipoli, describes how
Lance Corporal Keyzor of the First
battalion won the Victoria ross
Keyzor was n of the best bomb
throwers in the Australian and New
Zealand army corps. During fierce
attacks at the Lone Pine he was
throwing for so hours almost contin-
uously. He was sent to first one cor
ner of the trenches, and then to an
other, not only throwing bombs, but
constantly smothering with his coat
or ~sandbags the enemy's bombs which
had fallen in the trench. He often
threw them back.
When the enemy reduced the time
of the fuses he caught several bombs
in the air like a cricket ball and
threw them back before they burst.
Picking up or ex%tinguishing bombs
or catching them in the air was a mat
ter of such hourly occurrence during
the fights at GUMS Post, Hill so, and
the Lone Pine that probably hundreds
of cases went unmentioned, even
when a man picked up half a dozen in
one fight.

wrong.
Uncle Sam has no direct way of

transfer money to Buenos Aires, but
we don't handle postal money orders

A. French soldier with a taste for
statistics has calculated the amount
of soil that has been moved in the
work of trenchmaking. There are
about FIVE hundred miles of first-line
trenches stretching from the North
sea to Switzerland. And there are
five or six lines of trenches upon each
side. A total of ten lines or trenches
on the two sides would give a length
Of about five thousand miles, and this
has involved a task of excavating
twice as great as that Of the Panama

Deafness is caused by an inhamed con

before the Academy of Science the
case of a soldier of twenty-five years
of age, who had to undergo a partial
amputation of the brain. The wounded

New Hluh-Speed Steel.

For the manufacture of high-speed
steel new process, In which no tung-
stem, mOlybdenum, cobalt or vanadum
Is used, has been introduced In Eng
land. In former processes In the high
pressed tungsten was an Indispensable
alloy, its use in normal times running
as high as II to "a per cent. 1t il
said that the ingredients of the new
steel are freely obtalEsble wherever
steel Is manufactured. 1t is also said
to be obtainabIe only for turning plan
ing and slotting tools, all of which can
be made by casting. 1t is not suit
able for twist drills or milling cutters.
The tools in which 1t can be used, how
ever, take up about 10 per cent of the
entire consumption Of steel for ma
chine tools. Patents In other coun-
tries are being applied for, and 1t Is
proposed soon to place the process be-
fore steel-makers in this country.

goat, they went TO Bowstreet ana
laid information against "the female
forger." This cowardly attempt to pro-
tect themselves at the expense Of the
woman who had risked everything to
save them, deprived them of public
sympathy In the time TO come, when
they needed 1t most. The judges took
the measure of Robert Perreau, and
sent him as well as the woman to
prison. The next day Daniel Perreau
followed them. This Daniel was
great fop, who cut wide swath among
the macaronis. He and Robert were
twins, and greatly resembled each 9TH
er in appearance. but Robert was a
keen business man, a money maker,
while Daniel was wastrel. Both
brothers were specializing In Exchange
alley, and II was this that led them to
forgery.
The story OF what followed in the
courts Is too complicated to be de-
tailed In brief narrative. Mrs. Rudd,
who had been the ally of the brothers,
was Infatuated by their treachery, and
became their bitterest enemy. She tes-
tilted that she did sign the bond, as she
had confessed, but did 1t in fear of her
life, Daniel standing over her with an
open knife until 1t was done. She had
committed other forgeries under SINH
lar conditions. These other forgerieT
began to turn up, and they totaled ab
enormous sum.
The public interest in the Perreab
case was so great for year that even
the rebellion of the American colonies
attracted comparatively little atten-
ton. The newspapers were full Of the
case, and every man who could charter
printing press was busy issuing
broadsides. A certain Admiral Frank
land, known as "Old Shlver-Me-Tim'
bers," used up gallons of ink assailing
Mrs. Rudd, and thereby created sym
patty for her, which was the very
thing he didn't want to do. And Mrs.
Rudd had her champions among the
great writer's of the time.
In the course of time the Perreau
brothers were brought to trial, and
their guilt was so evident to the jury,
when all the testimony was in, that
they were convicted without the waste
Of a moment, and sentenced to death,
Many people believed then, and many
argue even at this late day. that the
brothers were the dupes of the design
ing Mrs. Rudd, but this theory didn't
appeal to the court.
Being convicted and sentenced, the
Perreaus were sent back to jail to
await the outcome Of the trial of Mrs
Rudd. The fact that she was brought
to trial at all was the occasion of much

writer in an exchange. Because of its
steel teeth and general harshness and
stiffness, the currycomb should never
be used about the limbs. There are
some people who can use it on the legs

animal past all endurance. They are

THE FATE OF THE FoRoERs.

On Tuesday morning, March Z, IT'S,
Mr.. Robert Perreau walked into the
banking house of Drummond Brothers,
at Charing Cross. He was greeted
cordially by the bankers, for Mr.. Per
reuu, although merely an apothecary,
was Napoleon among apothecaries,
and was welcome guest at the houses
Of the great. Within q week the bank
ers had seen him at Lord Egmont's
and Lady Lyttleton's. On the occasion
Mr.. Perreau was full of business.
Producing as security a bond for
$4,000, signed by William Adair,
whose signature would be honored at
any banking house, he asked for the
loan of $4,000.
The banking brothers scrutinized the
document closely, and Henry Drum
mond said: at doesn't look like the
signature of Mr.. Adair."
ut isn't the signature of William
Adair," agreed Robert Drummond. Il
have seen his signature a hundred
times and know 1t as well as my own"
"There is no doubt about It," said he.

solicitor, and by Thomas Stark, his

II Perreau's heart sank into his boots
at this proposition he made no sign.
He seemed quite willing, and an
nounced that his coach was at the door.
SO he and the Drummond brothers
climbed aboard and drove to the resi-
dence of Adair, the rich army agent.
Arrived there, the Drummonds explain
ed the business to Adair, who de-
nounced the bond as n forgery the min
ute he Sc eyes upon 1t.
The Drummonds turned to Perreau
and sternly asked him how he came
into possession of the bond. By this
time the apothecary was uneasy, and
cold sweat was on his forehead. "Send
for my slster-in-law," he stammered,
"and she will explain
The sister-in-law, known TO society
as Mrs. Daniel Perreau, was sent for
and soon arrived, a dazzllngly beauti-
full creature. Although known through
out the town as the wife of Daniel,
there never had been a marriage, and
her true name was Caroline Rudd.
The writer's of the period describe her
as the prettiest, wittiest and most cap
tivating woman in London. She must
hive been charming, so many good
judges of beauty praised her, but the
numerous pictures of her still in exist
ence are disappointing TO those who
have read the ecstatic descriptions.
Ushered into the Adair residence, the
situation was explained to her and she
realized its gravity at once.

bankers didn't think that probable, or
even possible, whereupon she asked for
pen and sheet of paper, and dashed
of a duplicate of the signature on the
bond. BY this time Daniel Perreau had
arrived, and also constable, who had
been sent for by the bankers. But the
constable was sent away. Mrs. Rudd
made such an impression upon the
DrummOnds that they consented 10 for
get the whole occurrence, and the Per
reaus, with the woman who had saved
them, drove away.

HANDLING ALFALFA FOR HAY
Plant Should Be Allowed TO Stand IN.
ill Well In Bloom-Sprinkle
With Salt and Lime.

To make the best horse hay, alfalfa
should be allowed to stand until well
in bloom, according to the Nebraska
College of Agriculture. In curing horse
hay, it is well to keep in mind that
the dust which is present in so much
alfalfa is largely result of the pres
ence of foreign moisture, such as rain
or dew, at making time, rather than
the presence of little moisture within
the plant. II alfalfa hay is stored in
the barn for horses, 1t is well, while
moving 1t away, to sprinkle 1t gener-
ously with a mixture of equal parts
of salt and alr-slaked lime.

ALFALFA PASTURE FOR HOGS
Care Should Be Exercised That II Is
Not Pastured Too Closely Cut
Occasionally.

For growing out" little pigs and
carrying over dry sows good pasture
Is a valuable asset to the hog raiser
Alfalfa makes the best pasture for
hogs. In pasturing alfalfa, care should
be taken that 1t is not Dastured too
heavily. II this Is done, the alfalfa
will be badly killed out in two or
three years and 1t will be necessary
to reseed. Pasturing should never be
carried on 80 heavily but that one
half ton OF hay per acre can be cut
three times n season. The occasional
cutting of the alfalfa induces new
shoots to grow, and hence greatly in
proves the pasture for the pigs.
