Virginian Who Has Lived Abroad
Urges Reverence for the Emblem
of the Country.

"Why does the average American
not salute the f1ag? asked R. o. Out
cault, Virginian who has lived abroad
for the last ten years, according to the
Washington Post.
'On the day of the draft parade in
Washington the only man 1 saw salut.
ing the regimental colors was a police
man, probably an old soldier who has
learned the love and reverence which
every man who has served feels for
the flag. When l and the friend with
me-a Britisher-bared our heads
every time the flag of a regiment went
past a few persons in the crowd be-
gan, somewhat shamefacedly, to fol-
low our example.
I'm London or in Paris you would
have no choice. Any man who kept
his hat on when the colors of a regi-
ment passed would have it knocked off
for him, if nothing worse happened to
him. 1 do not mean, of course, that
one should salute the thousand and
one flags carried in such a procession
but every one should at least bare his
head when a regimental flag goes past
That's what thousands of men are 60
! ing to die for before we are twelve
months older. The least one can do is
| to salute it while we can before II
! goes somewhere in France"

When Ward went to the stable after
Blue half an hour later Charlie Fox
went with him. His manner when they
were alone was different, not so exub-
erantly cheerful-more frank and prac-
tical.
Honest, 1t foored me completely to
see what that poor old woman has been
up against down here" he told Warren,
stutfing tobacco into a silver trimmed
briar pipe while Ward saddled Blue
Il don't know a deuce of a lot about
this ranch game, but If that old lady
can put it across / guess / can wabble
along somehow. Too bad the old man
c-shed in just now, but Aunt Martha
as good as told me he WASN'T much
force, so maybe can play a lone hand
here as easy as could have done with
him."
Afterward, when Ward thought it
over, he remembered gratefully that
Charlie Fox had refrained from at
tempting any discussion of Billy Louise
or from asking any questions even re-
motely personal. He knew enough about
uen to appreciate the tactful silences
Of the stranger, and when Billy Louise
on the way home predicted that the
nephew was going to be success Ward
did not feel like qualifying the verdict.

Conventional Caterpillar Design to Be
Used as Substitute for Narrow
Gage Industrial Railroads.

A small tractor of the conventional
caterpillar type which is designed as
substitute for the narrOw-gage in
dustrial railroads operated in cOnnec-
ton with large plants, has recently
made its appearance, says Popular
Science Monthly. 1t can move mate
rial rapidly from one department of
a factory to another and pass obsta-
cles, since it does not require roads
or tracks for its operation. Further
more, it does not mar the surface over
which it passes, because it lays its
own track as it goes along.
For this reason it can be used in
side factory buildings. 1t can pass
through doorways of the ordinary size,
and when not used in transporting ma
terial from one department to another,
it can be employed in the shipping
room or on the loading platform. II
is but 80 inches wide and 50 inches
high.
There are any number of other uses
to which the industrial tractor may
be put. For instance, it can be EN-
plOyed for pulling loaded wagons out
of excavations, or it can be used in
| logging camps, or in lumber yards
mines and shipyards.

at her.

VELDT MARKS IT'S JEWELLERS
Loneliness and Silence Affect Those
Doomed to Live in Plain of
British South Africa.

Before the Boer war there was a
South Africa that you could always
recognize a man who had spent five
years on the veldt. This was saying
no less true then than now, for the
veldt is a place of great silence and
loneliness and it leaves its mark on
those who dwell in it.
The veIdt is the great plain of what
is now British South Africa, the limit
less, featureless stretch of prairie dot
ted with knobs of hills that the Beers
call kopjes, pierced. and gashed by
rain-washed gullies that run their
twisting course from horizon to hori-
zon. The word 'veldt' is closely al
lied to the German word for "world"
or universe" and the relationship is
something more than mere coinci-
dence. To the man standing in the
midst of this plain it seems to extend
in every direction to the outermost
limits of space.
The veldt is without sound or color,
without striking features to catch the
eye. days trek among low hills
covered with gray grass, plods wear
lily through mile after mile of the same
hills, and ends in dry valley as like
the valley of the morning as one pea
is like another. After a few days OF
this the traveller wonders if his prog.
ress is not mere illusion, if he is moi
returning day after day to the same
spot.
Now and again the mOnotony is
broken by some veldt farm, place Of
exceeding loneliness for the exiles who
till it. There will be a farmhouse, {
barn, a kraal, well and a few hut:
! for the kaffirs. To the railroad MAJ
he distance of anywhere from 20 t.
20 miles. Half the year the roads ar,
impossible. The little communit,
must be sufficient unto itself. Life OF
veldt farm is a severe test of tn,
| inner resources of man or woman.

other man whom she could trust out
of her sight? John Pringle was slow,
and he was stupid and growled at poor
Phoebe till Billy Louise wanted to
shake him, but he was steady" and
that one virtue covers many a mans
faults and keeps him drawing wages
regularly
Her mother had been more and more
inclined to worry as the hot weather
came on Lately her anxiety over
small things had rather got upon the
nerves of Billy Louise She felt i'll
used and downhearted and as if moth
ing mattered much anyway. She pass
ed her cave with a mere glance and
scowl for the memories of golden days
in her lonely childhood that clung
around it.
She was in this particularly dissatis-
fed mood when she rode out of the
canyon at its upper end, where the
hills folded softly down into grassy
valleys where her cattle loved best to
Craze. Since the grass had started in
the spring she had kept her little herd
riding along the higher ridges every
day or so and turning back wander
ing animal now and then she had held
them in a comparatively small area,
where they would be easily gathered in
the fall. A few head of Seabeck's stock
had wandered in among hers and some
of Marthy's. And there was a big roam
steer that bore the brand of johnson,
over on Snake river. Billy Louise
knew them all, as a housewife knows
her flock of chickens, and if she missed
seeing certain leaders in the scattered
groups she rode until she found them.
Two old COWS and one big red steer
that seemed always to have follow
ing wore bells that tinkled pleasant
little sounds in the alder thickets along
the creek as she passed by.
She rode up the long ridge which
gave her wide view of the surround
ing hills and stopped Blue, while she
stared moodily at the familiar, shadow
splotched eXpanse of high piled ridges,
with deep, green valleys and deeper
hued canyons between. She loved
them, every one But today they fail
ed to steep her senses in that deep con-
tent with life which only the great out
doors can give to one who has learned
how satisfying is the draft and how
soothing.
