neveIonment OF opera.

Opera, has made extensive strides
during the last century, although its
origin is very remote. 1t came through
a gradual course OF development from
almost the beginning OF the Christian
era; earliest librettists were such emf
nent men as AeschylUs and SophOcles,
who accompanied their spoken drama
with a band OF Tyres and flutes.
But grand opera, as We understand
If today, originated about the end Of
the sixteenth century, when Jaeopo
PERKS opera, 'Dafne," was first pre-
sented. It originated through the
gathering Of a small party Of music
lovers at the home OF q F1orentine no
bleman. Theories grew into actuali-
ties when a performance OF "Dafne''
was celebrated in the palace OF COrsi
in 1895. This opera was successfully
performed several times, but always In

BAD SEATS CAUSE DEFoRMITY
Curvature of Spine and Round Shout
ders Too Frequently Developed
in School.

As an outcome of medical inspection
in public schools, people are beginning
to appreciate the important part which
school seats play in the physical devel-
Opment of the young, NJ. V. O'Shea
| writes in the Mothers Magazine. The
statistics of deformities of growth have
been compiled in a number of Ameri-
can cities, and they are impressive. A
! considerable proportion of school chill
dren are afflicted with curvature of the
| spine. This difficulty becomes more
common as we go up the grades and
into the high school
What is the relation of school seats
TO curvature of the spine? Suppose a
pupil during the growing period uses
for four or five hours each school day,
thirty-eight or forty weeks each year
for eight or twelve years, a desk which
| is so high that in order to rest his arm
on it he lifts his shoulder, and so pulls
the spine out OF correct alignment Or
dinarily, the right shoulder will be
raised too high, and the left viii be too
low. 1t is probable that any child who
maintains this posture In school year
after year viii acquire some degree OF
curvature. Even If no curvature re-
! suits, there will be inequality in the
height OF the shoulders, which viii
prove a handicap to an individual in
later life.
Older pupils often use desks which
are too low. 1t is practically certain,
| then, that they will bend over the
desks, and they will be In a cramped
posture several hours each day. In
such a position the lungs are construct
ed, the shoulders are pressed forward
and the common round shoulder de-
velOps; most serious OF all, the circula-
ton in the brain is interfered with
When children keep this posture in
school day after day for years, they
are likely to become either neurotic or
dull.

CHAPTER XXI.
The Race.


The commissioners came down
from the agency barely in time to
make their Identification OF the
contestants. Last of all Hardy
and Vandervyn identified them
selves and hurried over to the end Of
the waiting line. There was a scant
five minutes remaining. Vandervyn
was a-quiver with eager excitement,
and made no attempt to conceal the
fact. He smiled and waved his hand
to the commissioners, and looked about
with sparkling eyes. There was no
anxiety or envy or malice in his look.
Never had he appeared handsomer or
more boyish.
The other commissioners had
climbed into the touring car. One of
them held up his watch. Another COM
missioner arose, thrust small pistol
above his head with a melodramatic
flourish, and fired.
At the signal the line Of contestants
wavered and plunged forward into the
shallow stream. There were, however,
quite enough hasty ones to raise a
wild splaShing and turmoil, as, whOop-
ing and yelling, they spurred their po-
MES through the water and whirled
away at q gallop. Some wheeled up
the coulee; a few rode straight across
at the steep bank. Vandervyn, wild
est and noisiest of all, headed down
stream for the road. squirting his
pinto. He was followed by a large
bunch.
Hardy started after these last, hold
| ing his mare to her usual steady trot.
When he came up the road to the head
of the gulley, those who had gone be-
! fore him were all quite a distance
ahead, with Vandervyn still in the
lead. Midway between the mouth of
the valley and the agency, the long
striding mare began to pass ponies
whose riders had thought better of
their whirlwind start. Others were
still Looping in swift pursuit of Wander
vyn.
| Hardy walked the mare up the slope
of the agency terrace. He saw moth
ing of Dupont or Marie, and the In.
PEGS. But in the rear OF the ware
house he caught glimpse Of two In
dian policemen removing the load from
VanderYyn's pack pony. His face
clouded. He put the mare into a gal.
