When Alan reached the house Mrs.

road. surveying winters ruin. and
Nance with her children had borne
the captain off to the farm to see that

She might be bird's-nesting In the
swamp or crying over the "Idylls OF
the King" in the barn loft. Certainly
she was not in the house. J. Y. Wayne
had seen to that. Stern and rugged OF
face. he sat in the library alone and
waited for Alan. He heard distant
screen door open and slam. Steps
echoed through the lonely house.
Alan came and stood before him.
Alan was man. Without being tall
he looked tall. His shoulders were not
broad till you noticed the slimness Of
his hips. His neck looked too thin
till you saw the strong set of his small
head. In q word; he had the perfect
proportion that looks fraIF and is
strong. AS he stood before his uncle
his eyes grew dull. They were slightly
bloodshot in the corners and with
their dullness the clear-cut lines Of his
face seemed to take on perceptibIe
blur.
j. Y. began to speak. He spoke for
long quarter Of an hour and then
summed up all he had said in a few
words. ..I've been no uncle to you,
Alan; I've been a father. I've tried
to win you. but you were not to be
won. Eve tried to hold you, but It

Glen stifled her sobs and looked up
at him with sudden gravity in her

around his neck. "Good-by. Alan"
He stopped and kissed her.

First Move Toward Peace.
The announcement in the Berlin
News Agency dispatch that Monte
negro has asked for peace, if accurate,
marks the first known definite step
taken by any of the belligerents in the
European war toward the making of
peace.
Montenegro entered the war on
August s, 1914, when the Government
of the country informed the Austrian
Minister at Vienna that Montenegro
considered herself in state of war
with Austria. For more than a year
after war was declared Montenegro
was comparatively free from hostile
operations, and in fact the Monte
negrins themselves pushed into Aus
trian territory and for months held
positions outside their frontier. Aus
trian attacks were largely confined to
the southwestern frontier. occasional

tions against the little kingdom.

For no matter how you shout it, he

He won't know how many tear

Where the Flag Was Born.


The small 2-story house still stand
ing at 239 Arch street, below Third,
Philadelphia, has an interesting his
tory In it the first flag containing
thirteen stars and thirteen stripes
was made by Mrs. John Ross. the
design for the flag was from draw
ing made by George Washington
with a pencil, and the flag thus
designed was adpoted by resolution
of HCongress on the 18th day of June
TIT. A committee of Congress,
accompanied by General Washington,
afterward called upon Mrs Ross and
engaged her to make a flag from
this design. The flag then made IS
now known the world over as the
Star Spangled Banner of the United
States. There is a striking resem-
blance between the design of our
flag and the arms of General Wash
ington, and it is believed by many
that the American flag was derived
from this heraldic design. Sc

Strange Phenome"

The body of a dead Mexican does
not decay like that Of white man;
but dries up and mummifes. There
is no less authority for this than JEFF
ferson Davis, former president of the
Southern Confederacy. While COM
manding a regiment in the Mexican
war of 1846-47, Colonel Davis took a
sixty days furlough to visit his home
in Mississippi for two weeks. On his
return to the front, he wrote his wife
of the killing of a Mexican brigand IN
a mesquite bush on the way out, and
on the road back he found the Mexl-
can in the same spot. Examination
showed that the body was dry and
hard. He attributed the strange
phenomenon to the fact that the
Mexicans eat so much pepper and
are so accustomed to doing without
water that their bodies are harder
and better fortified against decay,
especially in such a dry climate. He
took occasion to state that the body
of an American would not stand the
same test, however.-Yorkville En-
uuirer.

and had wrought havoc through
out the entire Kingdom. And
the King inquired the name of
this man who sought to question
the power of this ruler and he
was told it was Charles Eseau
Hughes, the Hairy One.
And the King was sore afraid
and called together a council and
planned meetings in dire place
throughout the Kingdom to
thwart the designs of this pro-
posed usurper. And the battle
was on and all the henchmen and
followers of Woodrow the Serb
bier were brought out to do
battle.
The battle was waged day and
night and all the great Generals
and leaders of the King were put
| in action in the effort to gain an
advantage; but the Hairy One
was a Valiant and had many
followers who had taught in
numerous battles and the forces
of the King were hard pressed.
Now it happened that there
was in the Kingdom a tribe call
ed the Brotherhood VINO had moi
had their share of the spoils and
had withdrawn to themselves
and did not support their King,
and seeing him sorely pressed
from all sides made bold to ques
ton their King and demand
spoils. And the King being in
dire distress did take from the
goods of some of his people anc
give to the tribe of the Brother
hood and his army was strength
ened by four hundred Thousand
men.
The King took heart and ther
exhorted his followers to greater
efforts and at the closing of the
day had recovered some of the
ground they had lost; and the
King was well pleased with him

sleep of the contented.
1t came to pass that the next
day as the great armies were 60
ing into battle a great noise was
heard in the camp of Hughes.
the Hairy One, and the sound
was so great that it was heard
throughout the entire Kingdom,
and the Scribbler was veXed and
greatly disturbed.
For a new leader was COM
harding the followers of the
Hairy One and he spoke in a loud
voice and carried a Big Stick and
the earth trembled beneath him,
and as he drew near a great
shout went up.
The soldiers of the King were
afraid and many deserted him
and went over to the armies OF
the Hairy One and were followers
of Theodore, he of the Voice and
the Big Stick, and there was
great rejoicing among the popu-
lace.
But the King would not sur.
render because his throne was al
stake and he feared the wrath
of his henchmen. And seeing
that the battle was against hin
he called a council of his warriors
and it was decided that they
should continue to do battle un.
til they could gather together
the treasures of the land. And
they did this and as the closing
of the day drew near they haG
gathered about them many
sheckles, and sundry treasures,
and these were divided among
the faithful.
But the division of the spoils
and the sight of the sheckles
brought strength to the falling
armies of the King and they
fought with an energy born OF
dispair and held their ground
and with the treasures they haG
procured went out and found
new armies and thus was defeat
turned into victory for the King,
Thus it came to pass that the
Kings armies earned a hard
fought victory and the army OF
Hughes was put to flight.

Now it came to pass that in
the fourth year Of the reign of
King Woodrow, the Scribbler,
the time drew near for the
choosing of a ruler over the
kingdom.
And the King took counsel
with himself and reasoned thusly:
behold ! have held the seat of
the mighty for four years and
who shall say that l have not
ruled with an iron hand? My
henchmen and underIngs have
obeyed my commands and my
wishes have been put into laws
for the government of my people.
No man has remained in my
household who has not obeyed
me, and To- am a great ruler.
Therefore shall continue to rule
over this kingdom.
And word went forth from the
palace that King Woodrow. the
Scribbler. had decided to rule
over his people another period.
And there was much rejoicing
among his followers for they had
been given a fair division of the
spells and were satisfied.
And King Woodrow was happy
and contented with himself and
rejoiced in his greatness.
