Marcia gave a start Ora noticed
it. Her own eyes followed the direc-
ton Of MarCia's fixed glance. One Of
the busy workers of picked men in
an expert line was-Lane GrisCOm.
She understood at last. Marcia
hurried them away; she had solved
the oracle, too. This strange young
bOndman of the family, brought up
to a practical training in the plant
his father had once owned, instead of
being a newspaper man, was devOt-
ing his energies to one of the most
aTdUOus, dangerous callings in the
industrial line in order to pay his ia
theirs debt.
Ora did not sleep all night. She
was on the porch in the morning
when Lane came home. She was
puTpOsely waiting for him. Her heart
was full to overlooking as she real
lied how fully he was guarding his
mental occupation from them. She
COmprehended that he must devote
an hour or more to removing the
CRIME and grease after his laboriOus
tasks, so as to appear at home a gen

Ora went up to him. She had
thought out what she would say to
him, but emotion OYercame her.
You herow she sobbed, and ran
away, leaving him amazed, her eyes

That afternoon Mr.. Beverly called

that Public, who didn't know much
about machinery, would get disguised
with the treadmill when he found that
it didn't work properly and would buy
few of Agitator's tools to smash 1t up
with, for Public didn't have much pa
tience in those days. So Agitator got
crowbar and worked industriously
around the treadmill for several min
utes, after which he brushed off his
clothes and went back to his hardware
store to wait for business.
A few minutes later Public returned
from lunch with a bad attack Of indi-
gestion and a crouch against mules
and treadmills in general. His Ill tenn
per was increased by Samson's inabili-
ty to turn the treadmill at the accus-
toned rate of speed Poor Samson
puffed and struggled, and manifested
all the other distressing symptoms of
hard work, but he couldn't keep up to
time. Public belabored him until his
arm was tired, and then, scratching
his head, he unused irritably.

Samson is as strong, nay, stronger
than ever.
Samson is a good, constructive citi-
zen. It's his job to run the treadmill
that turns the wheels of industry. If
Samson should quit his job all the fac
tories in Prosperity Town would have
to close their doors, and factories, by
the way, are the mainstay of Prospect
ty Town. Any time you happen to
pass the treadmill you can see Samson
doing his standing marathon. He new
er seems to tire at his job There are
folks in Prosperity Town who think
that Samson, as an industrial factor,
Is capital, but we hesitated to state
the fact for fear you might accuse us
of trying to perpetrate pun.
Samson's driver is a man Public, an
intelligent, we'll meaning person who is
just beginning to get along famously
with Samson. There was time, how
ever, when Public was so engrossed
with the affairs of his numerous fam
lily that he hadn't much time left for
the occupation which gave him his in
come, and mule driving requires study
just like medicine, military tactics,
mixing mint juleps or any of the other
exact sciences.
Something happened recently, how
ever, which caused Public to take
keener interest in his job. He was
home eating lunch one day when
man named Agitator, former resident
of Prospect Town, passed the tread
mill of industry, and, seeing that it
was unguarded, thought 1t would be a
good joke on Public to put a few kinks
In the machinery. 1t wasn't sense of
humor alone that gave Agitator his in
spiration. He saw that he might make
his little joke pay. You see, he owned
a hardware store In Prosperity Town,
where he kept in stock a fine line Of
hammers, axes and other implements
that can be used to advantage in
knocking and tearing down. He hoped

COUGAR PRINCE OF SNEAKS

ger, Says Authority.

State Biologist Finley of Oregon,
who knows more about wild animals
and strange birds than any other
man in Oregon, makes the observa-
ton that cougars have rarely been
known to attack a man, says the
Portland Oregonian.
A few years ago Theodore Roose-
welt, in camp, made the sweeping
statement that the cougar, or noun
tain lion, is the most cowardly of all
beasts and that it had never been
known to attack man, woman or
child, so far as he could learn by
special examination of many stories
of such encounters. The assertion of
Mr.. Roosevelt was disputed, and

SOUND WAVES LOCATE GUNS
SixtyThree Big FieIdpieces Destroyed
by This Means-Many Other De-
structive Instruments.

Hats off to the scientists! If they
are chargeable with incenting the
destructive instruments of war, so
also they propose to construct others
that will undo the evil. DR.. Joseph
S. Ames, professor of physics at
Johns Hopkins university, who has
just returned from the front, has
described a few of the new inven-
tons, says Leslie's Weekly.
The location of big guns is now
made by apparatus that records
sound waves. In the battle of Mes
sines, Professor Ames says, 60 guns
of large caliber were located and de-
stroyed by this means, Wireless

You'd anything conceived in this

obvious reasons, are being continual
ly advanced for locating mines and
detecting undersea craft. New OPP
tical instruments have been devised
for observation purposes. Map-mak-

in connection with the war studies.
Additional applications Of the
science Of meteorology have been
found possible in offensive attacks
by land and flights by air.
Especial mention is made of the
work of Doctor Burgess Of the
United States bureau of standards,
whose studies of metallurgy and steel
alloys are now being utilized in the
steel produced in American mills.
A Princeton professor has made a
special investigation of offensive and
defensive gas warfare. The impor-
lance of this feature is emphasized
by the statement that 20 per cent Of
the shells now used by the Germans
contain lethal gases.

KILKENNY CAT STORY.

Apropos of the Kilkenny election,
how many people know the real story
of the Kilkenny cats? 1t happened
that the British government en-
ployed Hessian regiments in Ireland
for the purpose of putting down the
rebellion of 1898. Some of these
Germans located in Kilkenny con-
ceived the notion of hanging two
cats over rope with their tails tied
together so that they might fight
while so suspended. One day they
were surprised at the precious
amusement" by an officer, and
trooper drew his sword and cut down
the cats, leaving their tails behind.
The cats, quite alive, ran through
an open window. When the officer
entered he asked what had become of
the cats, and the reply was that they
had devoured each other. Hence the
tale.

Advice; or the
Parable of the Good Mule Samson

Certainly I'll help you with a little
expert advice" said Agitator, doing his
best to hide grin Its apparent to
any thinking man that all Samson
needs is few hard knocks. There's
something complex about a mules

treatment. Now can sell you splen-

will administer the proper psychic
stimulus. Then l have some excellent

So Public bought the hammer and
the axle grease, which was really glue
incognito. and went back to Samson.
At heart Public was kindly man, and
he felt that it was unnecessarily cruel
to hit Samson with the hammer, but he
had implicit confidence in Agitator, so
he spat on his hands and let Samson
have a few good ones, which nearly
broke the mules back, but failed to
produce any tangible results in the
way Of increased speed. Then as
last resort Public took UP the fake
axle grease, but as he was about to
rub 1t into the machinery he saw
something that made him hesitate and
then send for the repair man. Agita-
tor it seems, had moderated his in

on the friends), "hut from now on I'm

So while the repair man straighten-
ed out the kinks In the machine Public
pulled the bags of excess taxes from
Samson's back and treated the mule to
a good meal of his customary food.
Presto! The mule began to run, the
treadmill began to buzz, and the board
of directors voted to raise Public's sal

TIMIDITY is NOT A CRIME
French Military Judge Hears Army
Doctors Definition of Affection
Sends Offender Back to Trenches.

Is timidity a crime-under war
conditions? That is the question a
French military judge had to decide
when the case of a deserter, named
Stephanie Dessalles, was brought be-
fore him. This was the doctors re-
port on him:
"Dessalles is an emotional char
acter. He is coward. He is afraid
of thunder and other things, but not
so obsessed by fear as to render the
case one of mania. At first he did
his duty at the front, but allowed
himself to become depressed more
easily than a normal man. But to
say he deserted under the irresistible
influence of fear or in a state of If
responsibility is going too far. He
was simply unable to offer the same
resistance to the emotions of war as
an ordinary man." The deSerter
told the court:
81 am timid. In my family we
are nearly all like that. I am afraid
of everything" Asked if he thought
himself capable of doing his duty
if sent back to the front, he replied
earnestly; 81 will do my best, but I
am not certain"
The court sentenced him to two
years imprisonment, but humorous
ly gave him the benefit of the first
offenders law, with the result that
he will return Immediately to the
trenches.

1t his friend Legislator, who ran mill
down the road and who professed to
know all there was to be known about
mythology. Legislator was not only
willing but eager to give advice on
the subject.
TITS as plain as the nose ON your
face what ails that mule" he said,
sticking his thumbs in the armholes of
his vest and shifting his cud, after the
fashion of sturdy Yankee lawmakers
you're feeding him too well, and
you're not giving him enough work.
Cut down his diet of profits and mix
some deficiency in his food. Then put

taxes I've just ground out of my mill"
Public, breathing a sigh of relief,
tried Legislators prescription on Sam
son, but the treatment merely had the
effect of reducing the mules energy
still further. After a few moments
more of head scratching, Public decid-
ed to consult Agitator. AgitatoT was
wise man. At least he talked we'll,
and Public at that time was very sus-
ceptible to oratory.

them perhaps authentic. But I'M
doubtedly his general characterize
ton of the sneaking qualities Of the
cougar is entirely justified. A yelp-
ing dog will put any cougar to rout,
and he will follow under cover a
man for miles without making his
presence known. Under extreme
stress of hunger the cougar will
sometimes take chance of a fight
with a man, but not otherwise.
