CHAPTER XVII.
Alone in Darkness.

Never had the terror and loneliness
of blindness fallen upon Gray Wolf
as in the days that followed the shoot
ing of Kazan and his capture by Sandy
McTrigger. For hours after the shot
she crouched in the bush back from
the river, waiting for him to come to
her. She had faith that he would
come, as he had come a thousand
times before, and she lay close on her
belly, shifting the air, and whining
when it brought no scent of her mate.
Day and night were alike an endless
chaos of darkness to her now, but she
knew when the sun went down. She
sensed the first deepening shadows of
evening, and she knew that the stars
were out, and that the river lay in
moonlight. 1t was a night to roam,
and after a time she moved restless
ly about in a small circle on the plain,
and sent out her first inquiring call
for kazan. Up from the river came
the pungent odor of smoke, and in
stinctively she knew that it was this
smoke, and the nearness of man, that
was keeping Kazan from her. But
she went no nearer than that first Cir
Gle made by her padded feet. Blind
ness had taught her to wait. Since
the day of the battle on the Sun Rock,
when tie lynx had destroyed her eyes,
Kazan rad faxed her. Three
tin" she called fol- hin In the early

want your money back you can git it
as you go out. The dogs aid down on
us, that's all. We amt to blame"
The little man was edging his way
between the chairs, accompanied by
the sergeant of police. With his pale
face close to the sapling bars of the
cage he looked at KaZan and the big
Dane.
Il guess We'll be good friends" he
said, and he spoke so low that only the
dogs heard his voice. Its a big price,
but We'll charge it to the Smithsonian,
lads. I'm going to need a couple OF
f%our-footed friends of your moral cali
ber."
And no one knew why Kazan and the
Dane drew nearer to the little scien-
lists side of the cage as he pulled out
a big roll of bills and counted out six
hundred dollars for Iarker and Sandy
McTrigger.

President Final Power.


Later the President may from time
to time designate certain Industries
or classes of industries that are neces-
sary and the district boards will be
so notified. 1t will be the duty OF each
board, however, to ascertain the avail
able labor supply for such industries
outside the men called for service
and to take the result into consider
alton in determining such things.
'If, in the opinion of the district
board" this section of the regula-
tons concludes, "the direct, substan-
tial, material loss to any such indus
trial or agricultural enterprise out

from failure to obtain the military

Naming Cities for Dates.

What is, perhaps, the oldest Of ali
ways to select Ii name for a city 0r
street is to name it for a certain
date, and yet this has been done II
Brazil for hundreds of years. 1t was
on January l, 1881, that a Portuguese
captain, Alphonso de Souza by anne,
entered the mouth of that marvelously
beautiful bay, on the shores of which
now stands the capital of the vast re-
public of Brazil. Thinking that ne was
sailing into a great river. he named
the stream Rio de Janiero, or January
river, and all through the centuries
the name has remained.

Little Bodily Energy in Potatoes.

A pound of potatoes yields hardly
one-fifth as much body energy as &
pound of rice, cornmeal, or wheat.
This is partly because they are much.
more watery and partly because G
larg" portion is discarded with the
skins. Part of this loss is inevitable
because the skin itself is not usually
considered good to eat; but the more
carelessly potatoes are pared, the more
of the valuable edible SUBSTANCE gons
with the skin.

Battle In Moonlidht.

The pale moonlight that batheS each
night the several hundred frame build
ings at Fort Benjamin Harrison which
house the student officers and the reg
ulur army men, shines also OYer the
tents of two Indiana National Guard
companies, the First Indiana field hos
pital and ambulance company No. /.
Late in the afternoon is bath time
with the student officers, and with the
regulars, and the lighthouses, one for
each company, are about the busiest
places at the fort, especially after a
round of trench-digging. But the men
of the field hospital don't care for
bathing in the afternoon. Night time
is the time for them. Their bath
houses are as open as the air, the
bathing facilities provided consisting
only of showers set up in the open
back of their camp. , SO, late in the
evening, guards are set out, and forms,
pallid in the moonlight, emerge, from
the tents, run to the showers, shiver
in the cold water, and beat a hasty
retreat to the tents.-Indianapolfs

Disprovinu a Theory.

The man who had a theory was ex-
pounding it.
Everybody is more or less of a
poet" he said. "There's not a person
IN earth, and there never has been a
person who hadn't a spark of divine
atlatus. It's only a matter of degree
of inspiration of power to express, that
makes the difference"
Il disagree with you" put in an
auditor, positively. 'There was one
man who couldn't have been a poet"
"Who was that, may l ask?"
adam"
"How do you make out that Adam
couldn't have been a poet?"
why, that's simple. Poets are born
and not made."-Cleveland Plain
