I Up and up went the horse, and when
the sun was setting the stranger stop
ped his horse and looked around.
He could hear no sound, not even
the CHIPPING of the birds; all was still,
and soon 1t would be dark, but the
stranger did not seem at all in a hurry.
Instead he cleared a place for his horse
and himself to rest On the ground UNI
der a tree, and, throwing the stick that
mad served MIN SO we'll into the bushes
he lay down and vas soon asleep.
When he awoke the moon was hin
ing, and, taking hold of the bride, he
brought his horse to his feet and
mounted him. Then he listened. and
the sound that he heard was a sigh. He
waited, and again he heard the sigh.
When the stranger reached the top
of h. mountain he looked about, but
nothing could he see but trees and
rocks. Still he heard the signing, and
now it seemed very close to him.
But the stick seemed to ave lost its
charm now. There We're no briers to
clear away and the stranger held it
loosely in his hand as he listened. but
suddenly the stick flew out of his hand
and seemed to fly to the top of a high
rock, where it rested.
Tying his horse to a tree the stranger
went toward the rock, and as he did so
the signing grew nearer and louder.
1t came from the rock, and as the

stranger drew near to it he walked
very carefully, so that his steps might
not be heard, and crep around the rock
to find an opening.
This rock stood on the very top of
the mountain and close to the edge, so
that one n of it vas at the side Of
the mountain, and the stranger found
that il the rock had an opening it must
be on that side.
ALI this time the signing continued
and the stranger swung himself out
over the edge of the mountain by talk
ing hold of twigs and bits Of projecting
rock.
Yes, the rock did have an opening,
and on a long stone shaped like a couch
lay a beautiful maiden, her eyes closed
and her hands folded over her breast.
If it had not been for the signing
which came from her lips the stranger
would have thought she was made Of
marble, SO still and white she looked.

repeated the experiments with dogs.
The dogs inhaled the gas for an hour
to an hour and a half. After the heart
had stopped beating and breathing was
with difficulty stimulated, he injected
into the red blood cells derived from
dogs.
1t is not possible to make use Of the
blood cells OF n kind of an animal for
injection into another kind of an ami
mai. Rabbit blood must be used on
rabbits. dog blood on dogs and human
blood on humans. DR.. Burmeister made
use of a preparation of red blood cells
which had been kept II days.
Can these experiments be practically
applied to human beings and if so to
whom? There is every reason to be-
lieve that they car be so applied. In
fact the older methods on which these
methods are intended as an improve
ment nave been applied to human be-
ings successfully in a large number of
cases.
The method is applicable to men
gassed in working in garages, around
automobiles, to workers in rolling mills
and f%oundries. in some branches of the
rubber industry, to men working
around gas plants. and to that great
of people who are overcome by
Illuminating gas in their homes. Emer-
gency hospitals serving industries
where gas poisoning is very much of
a hazard will carry human blood cells
ready for use. In time, no doubt, the
method of keeping the corpuscles will
be perfected so that a supply will not
deteriorate for several months.
The most difficult group to relieve
will be those overcome by gas in their
homes. In the first place, in most
cases they have inhaled gas for much
more than so to 80 minutes. In the
second place many Of the cases will
occur in places where blood corpuscles
cannot be had.

Alfred G. Gardiner, in the Atlantic.
1t is. l believe, true to say that nd
campaigns in connection with the war
are being studied by the military ex-
perts with so much attention as those
of Mackensen. Like H%indenburg, Kluck,
Bulow, and most of the German gener-
ais, he is nearer 20 thar so. He won
the Iron cross in the war of 1870, and
the Iron cross was relatively a much
less familiar reward then than inow. 1t
courage which is not necessarily the
case today. Indeed, there are few
things more significant of the change
which has come over the temperament
of Prussia than the contrast between
the parsimonv with which decorations
were given in 1870 and the lavishness
with which they We're given in the
early phases of the present war. Unlike
Hindenburg. Mackensen is q man of
silent. almost morcse habit. 1t is pop
ularly attributed to the blow which the
loss of a much loved wife inflicted on
him. u 1T is in reality the natural hab-
it of a ~singularly absorbed and self
contained character. His brevity of
speech is the expression of a ruthless
temper. and In the severity OF the de-
mands he makes on all who come under
his iron will. as we'll as in his cold and
concentrated silence, he is reminiscent
of Lord Kitchener. Miracles have been
performed by soldiers n civilians
alike during his advances. not because
of the affection they nave for him.. but
because Of the fear of his merciless
hand.

has no monopoly of the imported spouse;
and an empcro who Is an autocrat may
meet with a similar matrimonial misad-
venture-as is shown by an anecdote cur
rent in Russia since the German advance
into Poland. 1t purports to record a re-
mark of the heir to the throne to the eff
feet that whenever the Germans are
beaten mamma weeps. and whenever the
Russians are repulsed papa weeps."
Ih!s tale Is passing from mouth to
mouth IN Russia and it represents the be-
lief of the Russian people In the patriot
ism of the car and the doubt of the Rus
sian people as TO the loyalty of the car
ina.
That the Russian people have this opin-
ion as to the divided or diverted patriot
ism of the wife of their ruler may or may
not prove to have political significance in
the future. That the French people had a
similar opinion about the patriotism OF the
wife of Louis XVI had an ~undeniable po-
litical Significance in the past.
Marie Antoinette may have been wholly
loyal to the country which had become
hers by marriage: but even IL She pos
sessed this loyalty she was none the less
detested and denounced as 1.-The Austrian
woman and 1t Is impossible to say now
how much of the ultimat unpopularity of
Louis XVI was due to the belief of his
subjects that his queen was hostile to the
interests of France.
1t seems to be the opinion OF more recent
historians that the defeat of Marc An
tony. or at least that the ease with which
the future Augustus was able to triumph
over him.. was due moro or less to the
dread felt by the people and the senate of
Rome mat the enainored Antony was in
danger of becoming Il tool of the ambi-
tious queen of Egypt.
The Romans might have been open
minded in regard to Antony's matrimonial
delinquencies and to his desertion of his
Roman wife. but they were intolerant to-
ward Cleopatra, not because of her dalli-
ance first with Caesar and then with AM
tony, but rather because she was an alien,
might easily be hostile to those of Rome.

1t Is probable that the trend of Bel
GUM way from Germany and towards
friendship with France and England dated
from the Algeciras conference. 1906.
But a more tangible symptom of the
new state Of things in Europe was given
by the international comedy of the Span
ish marriage. For a long time European
princes had been in the habit of marrying
German prtncesses. Young Alfonso had
been feted from one end of the empire to

song. Not long afterwards a Norwegian

and chose an English bride. German
prestige was falling.

THE SIGNING MoUMTAIN-Part I.
fsft, 1915. by the Mcclure News

Fopyrfsf.t, 1915, by the Mcclure News
paper Syndicate.)
ono upon a time in a far off coun-
try there was a big mountain near a
village that the people called the Sigh
nag mountain, because on summer eve
nlngs when the wind was blowing
gently 1T sounded as if some one were
on top of the mountain signing.
Inc was covered with
thick growths of briers and prickly
trees. and after going half way all
We're gla to return. and sc it had
been many years since anyone a
made the attempt. when n day there
came a stranger to the little village
n heard the signing of the big
mountain.
"Ihere is no use trying to find out
what makes the sighing," the old peo-
pie old the stranger: at has been
tried many times, and each one who
went failed to get farther than half way
up the mountain"
All. but that is just why / want to
Try. replied the stranger. l shall start
at daybreak tomorrow"
All the village people We're out to see
the stranger start, for he was still a
granger to them. He told them he
would tell his name when he returned,
ana the old men shook their heads and
SAID: He will never return, for when
he finds he has failed he will ride away
by another road"
Bu he did not return in the time
they had expected, and then they grew
frightened by his long absence, but
there was no sign of him to be seen
on the mountain, and the signing was
heard as usual that night.
But what the villagers did not see
was what happened when the stranger
disc ppeared among the trees.
He looked about for something, and
where the briers grew the thickest he
found it; it was a big tree, with long,
slender branches. and this the stranger
tried to reach by sending his horse
over the briers, but the faithful animal
could not be made to go, so the rider
over the sharp bushes until he came to
the tree, then he broke off a branch as
long as twice the length of his arm,
but when he tried to return to his horse
he found he had trouble in holding the
branch, or rather he had hard work to
go toward his horse, for the branch
drew him in another direction.
But the stranger held tight to the
branch with both hands, and though
his clothes were torn almost to tatters
and his hands sore from the sharp
br1ers he managed to reach his horse
and mounte holding the stick all the
time.
And now a strange thing happened.
The stranger held the stick before him
and 1t turned the pointed end toward
the top OF the mountain at the very
CENTER"
Then the stranger knew why he had
had trouble in getting back to his
horse: he was going in the wrong d.
rection. To reach ms horse ne did not
go up the mountain, but along the side.
Taking the broken end of the stick in
one hand, the stranger struck the
briers and bushes with the point, and
they separated and made a path for
the horse and rider as though some
unseen hand had chopped them off.
