Johnnie on the Spot.

The young teacher had been living
a trying time with her nature-study
class because Johnnie had discovered
he knew more than she did about birds
and frogs, and had assumed derisive
attitude in consequence. She appealed
to the man principal, who replied:
Next time you have the class let me
know. 1 think can settle Johnnie"
He was duly called in, and ali went
well at first. With confidence the
principal said at the conclusion of the
lesson: "Now, you may each ask me
one question"
Johnnie had been silent up to this
time. When it came to his turn he
rose and asked:

MATTER OF LIGHT
Excellent Reasons Why 1t Should Al
ways Fall From the Left Side of
Writer or Worker.

A well-known fact that, when
using the eyes for any near work, the
illumination should come from the left
side rather than the right, is often dis
regarded.
Let anyone who considers the matter
of little Importance once demonstrate
to himself the difference and he will
never forget it. Take pencil and pa
per and try to write while in such
position that the light will fall from
the right side.
The shadow of the hand or pencil
or both is thrown on the paper in such
a way as partly to cover the characters
one is making. This necessitates
closer viewpoint and a conscious strain
on the eyes. Now let the position of the
writer be reversed so that the light
falls from the left side.
He will notice that the shadows fall
away from the work he is doing land
leave the field unobscured. In making
the change of ease that Immediately Is
experienced by the eyes.
This applies to any other kind of
near work in which the fingers act un-
der the guidance of the eyes. This fact
should be remembered in planning
schoolrooms, workrooms, offices and
any places where steady, close work Is
to be performed.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Battle.

Soundlessly, in the dark hour after
midnight, the great war-bow of the In
dian was strung. But the camp of the
Americans slept. A light rain fell. 1t
was nearly dawn.
Suddenly through the black mist

fame and the crack came the sound
of a man running. 1t was the Ken

company, an outpost. A dozen rifles

out; he fell in the wet and tangled
brush. his face in the sodden ground.
The night, which had been sound
less save for the soft rush of the rain
and the dripping of the water from
the trees, suddenly became filed with
the stir and uproar of the awakening
camp, with the whooping of the hid
den foe, striking in the dark.
David awoke from sleep and bound
ed to his feet. A hand clutched his
wrist and dragged him down again,

He saw that all the others in the
company were quickly, silently look

dous tragedy of the despairing race
of red men. And then a grim smile
crossed his face, as he reflected that
he and his little army, uncouth, pro-
fame, greedy for material things, sor-
did as all humanity, was the flaming
sword of the progress of humanity
driving out the old order, substituting
the new.
The song of Elkskatawa, the Proph-
ct, the Loud Voice, went on. The
white men heard it and We're troubled.
The red men heard it and grew drunk
with audacity. "The bullets of the
white man shall fall at your feet, my

charge. With a cheer, the men of
Barton's company heard the order re-
peated by their own captain and went
ahead at a run. Only dozen or so
of Geiger's men had been able to Sc
cure their frightened horses at the
tree to cree, drove the baffled Indians
before them into the willows by the
creek, where the horses could go no
farther. From the angle came an aide
with Harrison's order to sound the re-
call.
that saved them from being cut off
from the main body of the troops. For
the fight had just begun. Only little
breathing space they had; and in it
they looked upon the faces of their
dead.
The commander and his staff in
spected the lines, letting their horses
pick their way through the trees,
through the darkness, loose-reined;
each company, as they passed it,
pleading to be allowed to go into the
thick of the fight, and the commander
counseling each to hold it's grotand,
until at last they came to Norris and
Warrick's companies at the corner of
the right flank and here found Spier
Spencers rifemen from Corydon in
the midst of red baptism of carnage
such as Geiger's and Bartons COM
panies had just gone through.
At this moment David heard some
one calling to his captain. He strained
his eyes through the mist, and as the
man ran up to Hargrove, David rec
ognized him as George Croghan. Cap
tain Hargrove spoke sharply:
"Whats the matter?"
Croghan saluted. ''The chief sur
geon has requested Colonel Decker
to let him have some assistance. We
have only three surgeons mates. We
need more help with the stretchers.
Can you detail someone sir?"
Hargrove named Laurence and
Cockrum; they hurried away as Gro
CHAN led. From company to company
they ran, lifting the dead and wound
ed on rude filters and bearing them
to the shelter of the wagons in the
center of the camp; here they left
their burdens and went back for sec
ond and third time, and each time
found some new victim.
And then David was in the thick
of the painting struggle which Spier
Spencer's men were enduring. The
horses lay on the ground, and from
over their backs the riflemen fired into
the darkness peopled with the vague
shapes of the bowling savages; but
the horses, terrorized by the uproar
and mysterious singing things that
tore them, tried again and again to
rise; their masters kept them down
only by superhuman exertions.
There was momentary lull; from
across the little valley where the rush
ing creek gurgled among the willows
there came a strange and wild chant
ing; high above the groans and the
sounds of hurrying feet it rose, the
sonorous cadence of the aborigine's
prayer to the Great Manitou, the ia
! Their of all.
"'Tis the Shawnee Prophet, singing
his own song" said Dubois, the inter-
prefer at Harrison's side.
David looked at General Harrison.

Just an Accident,

Two boys had INDUCED in a physical
