JOFFRE'S VALET DID WELL
Amassed Fortune Of $4,000 Francs
While on American Tour With
the Noted Marshal,

When Marshal Joffre went to the
United States he took with him a
body servant who was to act as his
valet. The man formerly had served
in the family and there was nothing
said about what pay he was to receive
until the journey was over when the
marshal asked him what he owed him.
II couldn't ask for any pay in view
of the petite fortune that I have
brought back with me-"
what little. fortune?' asked the
marshal. "You haven't been speculat-
ing?"
MATS non, monsieur de Marechal.
but there were times when I could be
of service. People who wanted auto
graphs, and those who wanted TO see
the chambers occupied by monsieur lie
Marechal, and those who sent notes
and Messages
II understand" said the marshal,
"but, if I may ask, how much did you
bring back?"
'Eh, hen, Monsieur lie Marechal
about $4,000 francs"
1t is Nine. Joffre who has let the
story out. She has told it to some of
her acquaintance in the American
colony in Paris, who repeat her assur-
ances that it is perfectly true.-Brook-

An Aztec Grain.

AT the time Of the Spanish conquest,
an ivory grain, finer than mustard
seed, was made into paste for molding
into religious idols and was an impor-
tant food in these times of scarcity Of
maize. This grain, known to the Az
tees as ''huauhtli," was among the trib-
utes paid by the pueblos to Mon
tezuma. The botanical identity Of the
seed was long unknown, but the COL
lection Of DR.. Edward Palmer in the
states Of Sincola and Palisco included
fsh-egglike seeds of an amaranthus.
The plant was found both wild and I'M
der cultivation, paste Of the seed and
sugar being sold under the name Of
"suale." DR.. w. E. Stafford of the
department Of agriculture has recog-
nized in these specimens the sacred
"huauhtli" of Montezuma's time, and
suggests that this amaranthus might
be cultivated in favorable situations.
Closely allied plants are cultivated in
India, Tibet, South America and A.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Battle.


It was now three o'clock in the
morning. In about half an hour the
men, naturally grumbling and protest
ing at being deprived Of any Of their
sleep, were out and at work. Lanterns
were lighted everywhere. The rain
had fortunately not resumed, and the
air was soon filled with noise and con-
fusion. Men with axes were busy on
the hillside cutting the young pines.
Horses were hitched to the dump wag-
ons, the steam shovel began tearing
away the hillside. Some Of the men
were detailed to knock down some
Of the galvanized iron houses and the
battering Of the hammers on the metal
added to the din.
Under Vandeventer's personal direc-
ton row of stakes was driven into
the top of the dam about three feet
from the front Of it. Big sheets Of
overlapping galvanized iron were
nailed roughly to the fronts of the
firmly bedded stakes and the small
branches and brushwood were thrown
down before it.. Bowlders and big
stones were carried out on the dam in
the wagons and thrown down on the
brushwood; spare timbers, broken
wagon beds, old wheels, joists Of dis
membered houses were driven into the

no results. A careful study of Rod
ney's notes upon the subject had only
served the more thoroughly to convince
them that Meade was blameless. But
the most assiduous effort with the
heartiest will in the world and the
promptings of devotion and affection
could not make a case out of these
suggestions and their differences that
would hold water. They could not es-
tablish their contention beyond perad-
venture in the face Of Meade's direct
admission and Shurtliff's corrobora-
ton. They could not establish it in the
public mind by any evidence at all if
Meade and Shurtliff remained silent.
If either one or the other of the two
conspirators could be brought to tell
the truth, Meade could be restored, at
least sufficiently so for the purpose Of
argument; the argument that Helen
nlingworth sooner or later must make
to her father. It was that to which she
gave the most thought, it was for that
she planned and longed.
Two people cannot resolve, even by
mutual consent to dismiss from their
daily thought and conversation any
subject whatsoever without introduce
ing in place of it a certain constraint.
It is as futile to attempt to dismiss
anything absolutely from the human
mind as is the oft-suggested cure for
rheumatism - doing certain things
without thinking Of the disease sought
to be cured!
