The Reason Why.

This difference in the complexion Of
people is due to the varying amount Of
pigment or coloring material in the
cells of which the skins of all animals
are made. Very light people have very
little pigment; very dark people, those
with dark eyes and black hair, have a
great deal of this coloring material
In their cells.
A great many people are neither
light nor very dark. They have less
than the dark complexioned people
and more than the light complexioned
people. When the hair turns gray
1t is because the pigment has disap.
peared. AS this is due to the loss OF
this coloring material, dark complex.
Toned people turn gray sooner than
light complexioned people. The struc.
ture of the skin showing how these
cells are made in layers can be seen
by examining the skin with micro.
scope.

That Loose Shoe strino.

Little things often lead TO serious
consequences. So it is not surprising
to learn that recently an employee of
a large manufacturing establishment
was coming down the stairway from
the third floor of the warehouse, when
the lacleg in one Of his shoes became
united He continued to go down the
stairs, and when about five steps from
the landing he stepped on the flowing
shoe lace, which threw him, and he
fell, striking his head and shoulders
on the bottom step with such force
that he died the next morning. Which
teaches us that one cannot afford to
be careless, even in such trivial de.
tails as loose shoe strings.-Scienti

NOW OF LITTLE IMPORTANCE
Port Whence slnbad Sailed on Voyage

Has Decayed.

In spite of the evidences of modern
industry, Basra was the port from
which Sinbad set out on his voyages
of trade and adventure. Sinbad was
not myth, but real man with a
sailors love for the sights of foreign
lands, Louis A, Springer writes in
Asia. 1t must have been great event
when he sailed away with his fleet of
dhows and when he returned with
treasures of far-off China and the
Eastern islands. The Basra Of today
IS mean little town in clearing of
palm trees two miles from the river,
and at its port, instead of the ladened
dhOws are rusty tramp steamers with
tawdry wares of the West. Farther
up the valley, at Kurna, where the
Euphrates and Tigris join, is the ira
ditional site of the Garden of Eden !;
beyond are the ruins of Babylon and
on the bank Of the Tigris is the ro-
mantle city of Bagdad where Harun-
al-Rashid, the great caliph, attracted
the wits and the wealth of Islam and
ruled in lavish splendor. Down the
Arabian coast are great ruins, still
almost unexplored. Lovat Fraser, a
close student of this region, believes
that some day 1t win be demonstrated
that here was the scene of momentous
events that determined the course of
the human race while the shores of

me-"
The words cut Lloyd like a knife,
but he was desperate. Taking the re-
volver out of the holster of the dying
man he pressed the cold muzzle to the
soldiers head and replied:
Eyes, 1t is Lloyd, the coward of
Company d, but so help me God, If
you don't tell me how to load that gun
I'll put bullet through your brain !"
A sunny smile came over the coun-
tenance of the dying man and he said
in faint whisper:
Good old boy! knew you wouldn't
disgrace our company"
Lloyd interposed: For Gods sake,
if you want to save that company you
are so proud of, tell me how to load
that ID gun"
As if reciting a lesson in school, the
soldier replied in a weak, singsong
voice: Insert tag end Of belt in feed
block, with left hand pull belt left
front. Pull crank handle back on roll
er, let go, and repeat motion. Gun is
now loaded. To fire, raise automatic
safety latch, and press thumbpiece.
Gun is now firing. If gun stops. ascer-
tain position of crank handle"
But Lloyd waited for no more. With
wild Joy at his heart he took belt
from one of the ammunition boxes ly-
ing beside the gun, and followed the
dying mans instructions. Then he
~ -
fire rewarded his efforts. The gun
was working.
Training it on the Germans he shout
ed for JOY as their front rank went
down.
Traversing the gun back and forth
along the mass of Germans, he saw
them break and run back to the cover
of their trench, leaving their dead and
wounded behind. He had saved his
company, he, Lloyd, the coward, had
done his bit" Releasing the thumb
piece, he looked at the watch on his
wrist. He was still alive at "3 49,"
"Ping Pa bullet sang through the
air, and Lloyd fell forward across the
gun. A thin trickle of blood ran down
lis Atl(C A1OLA n A1tAAC5 blaNh lOohA hOA~
in his forehead.
"The sentence of the court had been
duly carried out"
The captain slowly raised the limp
form dropping over the gun and, Wip-
ing the blood from the white face, rec
ognized it as Lloyd, the coward Of D
company. Reverently covering the face
with his handkerchief he turned to his
"noncoms'' and, in voice husky with
emotions, addressed them:
Boys, it's Lloyd, the deserter. He
has redeemed himself, died the death
of hero-died that his mates might
| live"
That afternoon a solemn procession
wendell its way toward the cemetery.
| In the front a stretcher was carried by
, two sergeants. Across the stretcher
| the Union Jack was carefully spread.
| Behind the stretcher came a captain
and forty-three men, all that were left
| of ID company.
Arriving at the cemetery, they halt
! ed in front of an open grave. AL about
them wooden crosses were broken and
trampled into the ground.
A grizzled old sergeant, noting this
! destruction, muttered under his
breath: Curse the cowardly Brighter
who wrecked those crosses If could
only get these two hands around his
neck his trip West would be short"
The corpse on the stretcher seemed
to move, or it might have been the
wind blowing the folds of the Union
