Equinoctials.

The equinoctial or line storm is pop
ulsrly supposed to happen when the
sun crosses the line In March and Sep
tember, and Is particularly expected
about September Il. A careful tabu-
lation OF the weather conditions OF
half a century makes It clear that the
weather more frequently is clear at
that exact period. The idea was prob.
ably given birth to by some great
storm which happened to fall at the
time OF year when day and night are
OF about equal length.

Habits Of Flowers.

The common -four O'Clock" almost
always closes its flowers at that hour
and so many plants have that instinct
that Linnaeus made floral clock OF
towering plants. each OF which had its
time OF closing. The wood sorrel not
only drops It's leaves and shuts its
purple yeined flowers when It rains,
but does the same II the ground near
by is struck with stick. The family
OF the oxalis has the same habit.

cIIna to Primitive Customs.

The tendency of the human mind to
revert TO primitive customs is every
day made manifest in the games of
children, for the Swiss youngsters still
play at making FIRE by rubbing sticks,
and the bow and arrow are common
toys among the budding men OF all
civilized nations, few of whom have
any such fund OF Indian stories and
traditions to fire their youthful imagi'
nations, as have those OF our own
land.

instead Of one, comprising a total ~
at least $4,000 men, probably will
make up the first contingent of tho
national guard to go to France.
Although no oAieial confirmation
was abtainable, there was evidence

announced, will ! be ACCOMPANIED

wards, now actings as commander Of
the department of the northeast. The
forty-second is commanded by Major
General w. A. Mann.
A report was current that suffi.
cient shipping will be available for
forwarding two divisions within the
time fixed for the departure of the
forty-second and that the twenty.
sixth had been selected to go because
it comes from compact area and is
composed largely of regiments of high
rating, and representing states whose
troops were left out of the composite
division.
The forty-second division is being
modified at MinelOa under the new
European standard, which requires
that the strength of the individual in
fantry regiments be increased more
than fifty per cent. The process ne
cessitates the addition Of some units
not included in the original order, for
where one company of infantry, for
instance, was to have come from any
state, two companies have been con-
solidated to give the $50 men neces-
sary. Thus hundreds of men have
been transferred to fill up the regi
ments selected to go. All the other
national guard divisions will go
through similar process on arrival
at divisional camps.
No hint has been given as to the
probable time it will require to pre-
pare the forty-second for embarka-
ton. The question Of equipment also
enters into the fixing of a sailing date.
The same considerations apply also to
the twenty sixth.
The war department announced the
final allotment of state troops among
the national army environments and
made public the list of colonies as
signed to regimenta1 commands in the
various divisions both Of national
army and national guard.

CHAPTER XIII.
Der Taa.


Meanwhile Ethel Willoughby, alias
Madame de Lorde, strolled aimlessly
to the cigar counter and leaned neg
ligently against it. Her feelings were
decidedly mixed-compounded Of pleas
ure and uneasiness. AS it turned out,
she found it agreeable to meet Mr..
Brown. It was a distinct relief to be
able to talk to someone against whom
she was under no necessity Of being
on her guard. But at the same time, a
matter Of business had brought her to
Courvoisier, and the inn. To be sure,
Streetman expected to join her there
later. But in the meantime Ethel ex-
pected to meet someone else first. Who
that person might be she did not know.

No sooner did he find himself alone
with Ethel than the little Frenchman
dropped his paper.
"Bonjour, madamey' he said.
81 beg your pardon!' Ethel said.
"Do not look around-stay where
you are!" the stranger told her crisply.
All at once it occurred to her that
this somewhat inferior-1ooking indi-
vidual might be he whom she sought.
But she could not be sure. And she
resolved to bide her time.
Really, sir" she said, with assumed
hauteur, 81 beg you to explain this

"Yes," he continued. "He got kicked
out of Russia ten years ago for some

Two or three sunny days will dry them.
They are to be soaked before using,
but the dried flavor Is very attractive.
