Why Cats Are Able to See In Tho Dark
The human eye can only perceive
things which are revealed by light, and
IL requires Il much greater amount OF
light TO use the faculty of sight than
Ia the case with animals OF the cat
family. These animals have the pow
er Of charging the eye pupil, thereby
permitting the eye to obtain all of the
light possible. AS there is some light
present in even the darkest places, this
is distinct advantage and enables
cats "to see IN the dark"

WHERE PEACE, IS ENDURING
For More Than a Century Uncle Sam
and Canada Have Been
Good Friends.

Before me lies letter from Mont
real, and the most interesting thing
about 1t is the cancellation stamp of
the Canadian government, "Glrard"
writes in the Philadelphia Ledger.
Upo6 the wide field of the British
flag is printed In body type this re-
minder: Help to win the waN Buy
war savings certificates"
Canada is helping to win the war
not only with her dollars but with her
men. Half million have already en-
listed, and that is like Pennsylvania
sending an equally large army to the
front, the population Of Canada being
not quite so large as that of our state.
Curiously enough, most Americans
know much less about the government
Of Canada than of England, France,
Russia or Germany.
We forget that July 1 is Canada'S
Fourth Of July, and that the dominion
came into being just fifty years ago.
We forget that instead of thirteen
colonies, as we had, Canada had but
four provinces.
We have had states and territories,
but Canada has provinces and dis
tricts. There are now nine of the for
mer and five of the latter.
Ours is republic, but Canada is q
dominion.
When Benedict Arnold's little army
Of about eleven hundred men, which
had marched, starved and frozen,
through the wilderness of Maine, at
tackled Quebec at the outbreak of the
Revolution, Canada's population was
less than that of West Philadelphia.
For 102 years the United States and
Canada have not had gun, soldier,
warship or fort to guard the 4,00O-
mile boundary line which divides them.

Sable Fish.

The United States bureau Of fish
cries is trying to popularize the sable
fish, which is found in large numbers
off the coasts of the Northwestern
states and Alaska. 1t has been almost
entirely neglected as food, although
of high quality.
The sable fish Is also called the
black cod. Last fall fishermen caught
the sable fish in large quantities. Most
Of the catches went into cold storage.
In order to bring this fish to the
attention Of dealers, thereby causing
a more general consumption, the fish
cries bureau has prepared some print
ed matter on the subject.

Tho Testimony Of the Dead.
Just as Helen nlingwOrth and Win
ters reached the lower level at the foo
of the mesa, they were Joined by Rod
ney.
"What has hAppenedT" cried the en-
Rineer.
Winters answered as the three hur
rted along without stopping:
Meade blew up the hOgback."
"Was that he?"
yes"
II thought there was something IA
mIlIar about him, but did not dare
II recognized him instantly" said
Helen Illingworth.

"What does?" asked his friend.
"The dam Is safe; the water haS

to fall a little. / saw someone jump
up on the palisade and wave his hand,
and then saw them all gather around,

ut was fine thing in Meade. Let's
hurry and tell him so," answered Rod
ney.

"Oh, don't say that" cried the girl.
why, what's happenedf"
"The second blast was slow In going
of" said Winters; "he went back to
look Mt 1t, and got knocked over 1t
looked pretty bad from the top of the
mesa"
Rodney would not have been human
if he had not felt leap in his breast
Mt the possibility, but he was too loyal
friend and too genuinely fond Of
Meade for more than n passing emo
ton, for which he was more than a
little ashamed.
Let us press on" he urged.
In few moments they stopped by
the three men. Meade was still un-
conscious. The big Irishman sat on
the grass with the engineers head on
his knee. The deft-fingered little Ital-
ian was trying to wash the blood away
from the unconscious mans forehead
with n sodden, ragged piece of cloth.
Meade was unconscious, he was breath
ing heavily. There was n catch in his
respiration. His breath came at irreg-
ular intervals and was labored as If
painful.
A huge rock had struck him in the
breast. The two men had torn open
his shirt and undershirt. The engi-
neer's chest was bruised and bloody.
Evidently bones had been broken, and
probably serious internal injuries had
resulted. Every breath was an appar-
ent agony. and that the exquisite pain
did not arouse him to consciousness
was evidence Of the terrible nature Of
the injury. A smaller, sharper rock

Rodney" said Meade, II wish you
hadn't done It."
1T was for Miss nlIngworth's happi-
ness and yours that did It," said Rod
ney. "And how much that cost me-"
he added, the confession being wrung
from him, mo one can ever know"
he turned and left the room. Winters
followed him full Of sympathy and
comprehension.
"Let me go out alone, old man."
said Rodney. "I'll be back presently.
This is the last fight I've got to make"
Winters watched him from the steps
Of the car as he disappeared in the
pine trees en- route to the mesa to fight
it out under the open sky alone. The
others left the room also, last Of all
Shurtliff.
"YOu forgive me, Meade. I've been
through hell ITSELF" said the old man,
''in these last six months"
"Freely," said Meade.
And Shurtliff went away with
lighter heart than he had borne for
many long day.
The two lovers were alone again.
"You see," said Helen, there's moth

Nothing, thank God," whispered the
man.

of your suffering, but for other reasons

had grown to care" he asked, putting
by the academic discussion.
The woman nodded.
I'm very sorry. 1 can't help it. We
were always together, talking about

"And he couldn't help 1t, either" said
Meade. Somehow believe he waS

But he looked ut her wistfully and
anxiOusly as he spoke.
Il won't argue with you," said the
girl, bending close to him. "Tll only
say that 1 know l have the best man
in all the world, but If he were the
worst, would rejoice to have him just
the same"

cheek, just missing his right eye, and
they found out aftcrward that he had
been struck by several other pieces
dSlodged by the explosion, and that
his body was covered with bruises.
But there was nothing, not even in
the cut on the forehead. to cause any
great alarm had it not been for the
crushed chest. Winters and Rodney
were both men of action, acCust, med
to quick thinking and prompt decision
in emergencies; while Helen Hing
worth could only stand with clenched
hands staring in mental anguish that
paraleled the physical suffering Of
the man she loved, the engineer and
the rancher Immediately made prep
aratiOns to get the wounded man to the
car.

and Winters and Murphy, the two big

end. Helen Illing'vorth, praying as
she had never prayed before, sought to
support the unconscious mans head.
The Italian gathered up the tools and
went ahead to open up the path. Rod
ney followed after.
Their progress was slow of neces-
slty. They had to handle Meade with
great care. Winters and Rodney, after
the brief inspection they had made,
could not see chance on earth for
him. Neither could Helen Illlngworth.
They went along without conversation,
naturally, except for an outburst of ad.
