GRAY Leaved Plants.

Next to green, gray is the restfulest
and most satisfactory color to be had
In foliage.
We now have SO many hardy plants
with gray foliage that we can choose
one for each month of bloom and color
Of flower. Among them are the silvery
milfoil, gold dust, the white and pur-
pie rockcress, the woolly leaved chick
weed, many hardy pinks, Siebold's day
lily, Fischer's horned poppy, lavender
cotton, woundwort and woolly thyme.
Some Of these are decidedly silvery.
Others incline to a blue cast, which is
most pronounced in the globe thistles
and sea hollies. Such colors are so IN
usual in nature that it is easy to over
do them In enthusiastically Life In
America.

CURING TIRED FEET.
A Way to Strengthen the Muscles and
Prevent Falling Arches.

TESNSbk afsHA WV
This is the age of tired feet. It is
also the age of payements. And tired
feet are largely the result of walking
on hard payements. Yet, curiously
enough, pavements were invented pri-
marily to enable man to move about
on his feet more comfortably.
The outer side of the foot is of strong
er construction than the inner and
will remain SO even with prolonged
usage on hard pavements if the foot is
kept In a proper position while walk
ing. But the out toeing position takes
the strain off the outer portions Of the
foot, and thus the muscles are weaken
ed eventually through lack of natural
exercise. The best way to correct this
and at the same time correct the ten
dency to falling arches is by cultivat-
ting the habit of walking and standing
with the feet held parallel. This Is
particularly helpful to persons who are
obliged to stand for prolonged periods
at their work.
In addition there are two simple ex-
ercises which will strengthen the foot
muscles and ward off the tendency to
fatigue If practiced for a few moments
each day. One Of these consists in toe
ing In as much as possible-walking
club footed-and walking about the
room for one minute several times each
day. This position puts the strain on
the muscles OF the outside Of the foot,
thus toning them up and strengthening
them. The strain will be apparent to
any one the first time he tries this ex-
aggerated form Of pigeon toed locomo-
ton. But the ultimate result will be a
pronounced strengthening and straight
ening of the feet, with a tendency to
assume. unconsciously a natural posi-
ton in walking and standing.
The second exercise consists In
throwing the weight of the body on to
the outside of the feet by standing
with the legs crossed and the feet held
parallel. This position should be as
sumed for several minutes each day
and is often found very restful to per-
sons obliged to stand in cramped quar-
tiers. By bending the knees and walk
ing about the room with the feet still
in this position, alternating with first
n foot and then the other In the lead,
the outside foot muscles may be
strengthened very rapidly.
If either one or both Of these exer-
cises are practiced for one minute pc
RODS three or four times each day the
foot muscles will be toned up to resist
fatigue and the tendency to falling
arches that follows almost invariably.

CHAPTER K.
No. 1882.

lrlY1OODHOUSE and Almer we're
h alone In the mongrel reeep-
" ton room. The hour was late.
~ Almer began sliding folding
wooden shutters across the back of the
street windows. Woodhouse fingered
over the excuse of a final cigarette,
knowing the moment Of his rap
prochement with his fellow Wilhelm
strasse spy was at hand. He was
more distraught than he cared to ad-
NIT ever to himself. The days devel-
opments had been startling-irst the
stunning encounter with Capper there
on the very Rock that was to be the
scene of his delicate operations-Cap-
per, whom he had thought sunk In the
oblivion of some A~lexandrian wine
shop, but who had followed him on the
Princess Mary. The fellow had delib-
erately cast himself into his notice,
Woodhouse reflected. There had been
menace and insolent hint of a power to
harm in his sneering objurgation that
Woodhouse should remember his name
against a second meeting. "Capper-
never heard the name in Alexandria.
eh?" What could he mean by that If
not that somehow the little ferret had
learned of his visit to the home of DR..
Koch? And that meant-why, Capper
in Gibraltar was as dangerous as a
coiled cobra!
Then the unexpected meeting with
Jane Gerson, the little American he
had mourned as lost in the fury of the
war. All, that was a joy not unmixed
with regrets! What did she think of
him? First, he had been forced coldly
to deny the acquaintance that had
meant much to him in moments of rec
objection; then he had attempted a
lame explanation, which explained
nothing and must have left her more
mystified than before. In fact, he had
frankly thrown himself on the mercy
of a girl on whom he had not the shad-
ow of claim beyond the poor equity of
a chance friendship-an incident she
might consider as merely one of a
days travel as far as he could know.
He had stood before her caught in a
deceit, for on the occasion of that new
er to be forgotten ride from Calais to
Paris he had represented himself as
hurrying back to Egypt, and here she
found him still out of uniform and in
a hotel in Gibraltar.
Beyond all this, Jane Gerson was 60
ing to the governors house as a guest.
She, whom he had forced, ever so cav
alierly, into a promise to keep secret
her half knowledge of the double game
he was playing, was going to be on the
intimate ground of association with
the one man In Gibraltar who by a
crook of his finger could end suspicion
by a firing squad, This breezy little
baggage from New York carried his
life balanced on the rosy tip of her
tongue. She could be careless or she
could be Indifferent. In either case II
would be bandaged eyes and the click
of shells going home for him.
1t was Almer who interrupted Wood
houses troubled train Of thought.
Captain Woodhouse will report for
signal duty on the Rock tomorrow, !

the girl broke In shortly.
perhaps since 1t meal SO little to
you-your silence-perhaps you Will do
me that favor. Miss Gerson."
Certainly" Woodhouse could see
that anger still tinged her speech.
MAY I go further and ask you to-
promise?" A shadow Of annoyance
creased her brow, but she nodded.
THAT is very good of you," he thank
ed her. "Shall you be long on the
RockT'
mo longer than l have to. I'm sail
she answered.
"Then I am In luck-tonight." Wood
house tried to speak easily, though
Jane Gerson's attitude was distant.
Meeting you again-thats luck"
ITO judge by what you have just
said, it must be instead a great misfor-
tune" she retorted, with a slow smile.
THAT is not fair. You know what I
mean. Don't imagine I've really for
gotten our first meeting under happier
conditions than these. I know I'm not
clever. l can't make it sound as I
would, but I've thought a great deal of
you, Miss Gerson-wondering how
you were making it In this great war.
Perhaps
Almer returned at this juncture with
the change, which he handed to Wood
house. He was followed in by Lady
Crandall, who assured Jane her ham,
pers were securely strapped to the dog
cart. Jane attempted an introduction.
This gentleman has just done me a
service, Lady Crandall. May I pre-
sent
$50 sorry. You don't know my name.
My clumsiness. Captain Woodhouse."
The man bridged the dangerous gap
%hurriedly. Lady Crandall acknowl-
edged the introduction with a gracious
smile.
"Your husband is Sir George he
began.
Yes; Sir George Crandall, governor
general of the Rock. And YOU

In a second and bowed his thanks.
Lady Crandall was moving toward the
door. Her ward turned and held out a
hand to Woodhouse.

smile in which the man hoped he read
full forgiveness for his denial of a few
minutes before. "If you're ever In

turbed at the kidnapping of his guest,
came from behind the desk.
You will go to your now?" he
queried a~nxiously.
"Not going to take It," Jane answer
ed. "Have an invitation from Lady
Crandall to visit the statehouse, or
whatever you call it."
But, pardon me, the room-it was
rented, and l fear one nights lodging
is due. Twenty shillings."
Jane elevated her eyebrows, but
handed over a bill.
"Ah, no, lady; French paper-it is
worthless to me. Only English gold,
If the lady pleases." Almer's smile
was leonine.
But it's all I've got. Just came
from France, and'-
"Then, though it gives me the great
est sorrow, l must hold your luggage
until you have the money changed.
Excuse
Captain Woodhouse, who had dallied
long over his dinner for lack of some
thing else to do, came out of the din
ing room just then, saw a woman In
difficulties with the landlord and in
stinctively stepped forward to offer his
services.
BEG pardon, but can I be Of any
help?"
Jane turned. The captains heart
gave a great leap and then went cold.
Frank pleasure followed the first sur
prise in the girls eyes.
"Why, Captain Woodhouse, how jol-
~ to see you again AFTER
She put out her hand with a free
gesture of comradeship.
Captain Woodhouse did not see the
girls hand. He was looking into her
eyes coldly, aloofy.
81 beg your pardon, but aren't you
mistaken"
"Mistaken" The girl was staring
at him, mystified.
"I'm afraid l have not had the pleas
ure Of meeting you" he continued
evenly. But if l can be of service
now
She shrugged her shoulders and turn
ed away from him.
"a small matter. 1 owe this man 20
shillings, and he will not accept French
paper. It's all have"
Woodhouse took the note from her.
"I1l take it gladly-perfectly good"
He tool some money from his pocket
and looked at it. Then to Almer, x
say, can you split a crown?'
'tChange for you in a minute, sir

mer pocketed the gold piece and dode-
ed out of the door.
Jane turned and found the deep Sc;
gray eyes of Captain Woodhouse fixed
upon her. They craved pardon-toler-
alton of the incident just passed.
Woodhouse hurried to Jane Gerson's
side and began to speak swiftly and
earnestly:
"You are from the StatesW =
A shrug was her answer. The girls
face was averted, and in the defiant
set of her shoulders Woodhouse found
little promise of pardon for the Incl
dent of the minute before. He per-
sisted:
''This war means nothing to you
one side or the other?"
81 have equal pity for them BOTH"
she answered in a low voice.
"We are living in dangerous times"
he continued earnestly. 81 tell you

When ironing it is a great help to
have a common sponge and a dish Of
water handy to dampen the clothes
where they are too dry for ironing. The
sponge is much better than a cloth for
that purpose, and, if necessary, dry
clothes can be ironed at once If a
sponge is used for dampening same.

Nervous Systems.

In man and all of the higher animals
the nervous system centers in the
brain, and life is dependent upon the
condition of the brain, so that the
slightest injury to it means death or
arrangement of faculties. But in the
case of the worm and other creatures
of the lower kind the v tissues
are distributed over the body and do
not center in the head, so that a worm
may be cut in half and still live.
