Smoke Cipars by Electricity

In tobacco factories and also in many
show-window displays it is found de.
sirable to have an electromechanical
device which will smoke cigars in a
similar fashion to that followed by
mankind in general, says the Electrical
Experimenter. A flexible cord plugged
into the nearest electric-light socket
supplies the miniature motor with
power to drive a multiple-vane blower,
his blower creates a back draft, and
thus the perfectos of doubtful vintage
may be smoked rapidly and naturally,
The resulting length and character OF
the ash are noted by tobacco experts.

'Tomorrow," John said insistently.

1t was his moment. Her half
formed resolutions fell away before
the compelling ring in his voice and
the earnest pleading in his eyes.
Il will be in she promised, ''tomor-
row at six o'clock"
After the departure of her guests,
Louise stood before the window of her
drawing room, looking down into the
street. She saw the prince courteously
motion John to precede him into his
waiting automobile. She watched un-
til the car took its place In the stream
of traffic and disappeared. The sense
of uneasiness which had brought her
to the window was unaccountable, but
it seemed in some way deepened by
their departure together. Then voice
from just behind startled her. It was
GraillOt, who had returned noiselessly
into the room.

it with you as proof of the sentiment
which l feel exists between us. 1t is
my firm belief that the same thought,
in a different guise, was travelling
through your mind, as you watched the
departure of your guests"
She motiOned him to place upon the
couch, close to where she had already
seated herself.
Come" she invited, "prove to me
that you are a thought reader!"
He sank back in his corner. His
hands, with their short, stubby fingers,
were clasped in front of him. His eyes,
wide open and alert, seemed fixed upon
her with the ingenious inquisitiveness
of child.
ITO begin, then, find our friend, the
prince of Seyre, most interesting, l
might almost say fascinating study"
Louise did not reply. After a mo-
ments pause, he continued.
Among the whole aristocracy of
France there was no family so lOathed
and detested as the seigneurs Of Seyre
at the time of the revolution. Those
at the chateau in Orleans and others
who were arrested in Paris, met their
death with singular contempt and calm.
Eugene of Seyre, whose character in
my small way have studied, is of
the same breed"
Louise took up a fan which lay on
the table by her side, and waved it
carelessly in front of her face.
"One does so love-" she murmured,
"to hear ones friends discussed in a
friendly splrit!"
ut is because Eugene of Seyle is a
friend of yours that am talking to
you in this fashion," Graillot contin-
ued. "You have also another friend

"Well?"
'In him." Graillot went on, zone per-

When adown the streets of Washing
ton the thinned grey legions
come,
To the cheering of the thousands and
the beating OF the drum,
When, gray shoulder to gray shoulder,
they go marching down the way,
Bravely as they went to battle in the
far-gone yesterday,
Will our Texans be among them, Tex
ans true and Texans tried
All, in the brave days back yonder they
could fight and they could ride!
They could laugh-they went to bat
tie with the stirring Texas yell
When the way they went was belching
all the sounds and fumes of hell
When the comrades known back yon-
der march adown the avenue,
And they cheer the tender glory of the
Red and White and Blue,
Will our Texans be among them, keep
ing with them, stride for stride.
With the Spirit of the Sixties, with the
souls abrim of pride?
Will the gladness of the moment in
their old hearts grow and swell
Till across the wide Potomac men shall
hear the Texas veil?
They are old and they are broken, AMI
times snow is on their hair,
Their dim eyes are looking, looking
are they going to be there?
Will they fight old battles over, men
who fought in years agone
They will answer the reveille on the
other side of dawn
In great and grand reunion with the
comrades over there
Before many years are over-but to-
day they are our care,
And their eyes are looking, looking to
where comrades soon shall meet,
And an old-time martial anthem seems
to move their anxious feet.
When they want to go and meet the
comrades of their yesterday
Shall their longings be vain longings
