How cobo Stood on His Head.
All that day, or during most Of 1t, at
least, Rosa and O'Reilly sat hand In
hand, oblivious of hunger and fatigue,
impatient for the coming of night,
keyed to the highest tension. Now they
would rejoice Historically, assuring
each other Of their good fortune, again
they would grow sick with the fear Of
disappointment. Time after time they
stepped out of the hut and stared ap-
prehensively up the slopes of La Cum
bre to assure themselves that this was
not all a part Of some fantastic illu-
sion; over and over, in minutest de-
tail, Johnnie described what he had
seen at the bottom of the well. He
tried more than once during the after
noon to sleep, but he could not, for the
moment he clor3d his eyes he found
himself back there In that pit upon the
ridges crest, straining at those stub
born rocks and slippery timbers. This
inaction was maddening, his fatigue
rendered him feverish and irritable.

he raised his shaking hand to dash out
the candle, but even as he did so the
colonel spoke, at the same time care
fully lowering the revolver hammer.
"You are right. What am thinking
about? There must be no noise.
Carambal A pretty business that
would be. wouldn't it, With my men
running up here to see what 1t was
all about. No, mol No gunshots. no
disturbance Of any kind. You under

His face twisted into grin as he
tossed the revolver aside, then under
took to detach stone from the crum-
bling curb. "No noise" he chuckled.
"No noise whatever"
O'Reilly, stupefied by the sudden ap-
pearance Of this monstrous creature,
stunned by the certainty Of a catas-
trophe to Rosa, awoke to the fact that
this man intended to brain him where
he stood. In a panic he cast his eyes
about him, thinking to take shelter In
the treasure-cave, but that retreat was
closed to him, for he had wedged the
wooden tlmbers together at the first
alarm. He was like rat in pit, ut
terly at the mercy Of this maniac. And
Cobo was maniac at the moment; he
had so far lost control Of himself as to
allow the stone to slip out Of his grasp.
1t fell with a thud at O'Reilly's feet,
causing the assassin to laugh once
more.
"Ho, hoT he hiccoughed. my fin
gers are clumsy, eh7 But there is no
need for haste" He stretched out his
arm again, laid hold Of another missile,
and strained to loosen 1t from its bed.

It was in the bar parlor Of the Spot

in the price Of beer, and the man
who had his glass of cider said
1t was the very best tax he had ever
known.
"Slnce the rise in the price Of beer

"Your pardon, my colonel. They
came back In a cold sweat, and they
spent the night on their knees. The
woman was there again. You have
seen the salt sea at night7 Well, her
face was aglow, like that, so they said.

and the sound Of hammers, coming
from the very bowels of the earth. 1t
is all plain enough, when you know
the story. But it is terrifying" -
"This is indeed amazing" Cobo ac-
knowledged, "but of course there is
some simple explanation. Spirits, If
indeed there are such things, are made
Of nothing are like thin air.
How, then, could they rattle chainsl
You probably saw some wretched pa

"Indeedl Then what did I hear with

old slave is chained in some cavern Of

IN CAESARS STEPS
Allies Fight Germans on Ground
He Made Famous.
Campaigns Today Have Many strlk.
Ing Points Of Similarity to Those
Fought by the Great Roman
conqueror.

Over the same ground where Caesar
fought nearly 1900 years ago. and
with many implements of war remark
ably like those used by his army, the
allies are fighting the Germans today,
says a writer in Pittsburgh Dis
patch. The foe is the same In cruelty
and In overbearlng nature. as any
school boy or girl who has read the
commentaries of the great Roman gen.
eral can tell you. How history repeats
itself and how important as well
as interesting is the study Of the
Latin language become since the war
is Illustrated in telling fashion by
classical exhibit in the University Of
Pittsburgh.
In the exhibit, which was arranged
under the direction of B. L. Ullman Of
the State Classical association, is
model of a bridge built over the Rhine
by Caesar. 1t was made from the de-
scription given by Caesar.
The bridge is almost exactly like the
temporary bridge the soldiers ut
Plattsburg are now being taught to
make and on which they expect to
cross the Rhine as they 60 into the do
main Of the kaiser.
The Roman ballista, used to throw
stones at the enemy, is made exactly
on the same principle as the machine
used today to throw trench bombs.
Modern springs now take the place Of
the twisted rawhide with which mo-
mentum was obtained by the Roman
machine. A model Of the Roman bal
lista is in the exhibit.
On the same principle is the cata-
pult, used by the Romans to shoot ar
rows. Several of the weapons used by
the Roman soldiers, including sword
and spear, forerunners Of the bayonet.
are much like those used in the pres
ent war. Models Of all these are In
this exhibit. There are also models
of the Roman soldier and Of the SOL
der Of today, both wearing headpieces
Of metal much alike.
The boy who is reading Caesar can
tell you that Relms, whose wonderful
cathedral has been destroyed by the
Germans, was named from the Rami
tribe mentioned by Caesar and that
Scissors takes Its name from the Sues
stones tribe, conquered by Caesar. The
Commentaries are full Of names made
familiar by the war going on today
and the schoolboy reads with added
interest how Caesar defeated Ariovis-
tus, king Of the Germans, and won
other triumphs on the same battle
front as that Of the allies today. The
wolf holes he describes are much like
the traps used to ensnare and bewilder
the enemy now.
Other articles in the exhibit made by
students show what a wealth Of Ro-
man tradition has been handed down
to us. The Roman fasces, shown on
the new United States dime, Is the
original Of the mace, the symbol Of
power, used by the speaker Of the
house Of representatives. The fasces,
in turn, had Its origin in the sticks
used by the Romans to fog offenders
and the ak used by them to cut Off
the heads of the worst Of them.

AS TO CITY BOND ISSUE
FEDERAL RESERVE BANK
WOULD NOT APPROVE
SECURITIES.

There is considerable discussion in
the city in regard to a bond issue for
the purpose of rebuilding the recent
ly burned municipal electric light
plant. AS a means of obtaining the
best information in regard to the
floating of a bond issue. Mayor Jas.
Robertson addressed a letter to the
Federal Reserve bank, of M~inneapo-
lis, and received the following reply:
Minneapolis, Mimi, Aug. 13.-Mr.
James Robertson, Madison, S. D.
Dear Sir: Replying to your favor of
the Sth inst, | beg to advise that this
committee would under no condition
approve an application for the issue
of bonds for the construction of a
public utility plant, where there was
any evidence that by making repairs
the present plant could be put in
shape and continue in service until
the end of the war.
/ am therefore of the opinion that II
will be highly desirable IL your city
will study carefully the feasibility OF
making repairs and temporary ar
rangements, which may for a period
of Is months or so cause some incon-
venience, but not enough to justify
the expenditure Of such a large sun
of money in time of war, when tn
