merely by his ceaseless listening. The
calls which should be staccato and

sound and come too slow. For the first

it was-his wind.
Bugler Flynn's head is suddenly cold
and heavy. His hands are wet with a
moisture which he cannot wipe away,
although he tries to now and then on
the dry breeches beneath his sIeet-
covered coat
Across the sleeting dark of the court
yard, In the narrow hall beneath Il
Company's quarters, a slim figure
smokes ruminatively, watching Bugler
Flynn and his movements. Certainly
the spirit of initiative art animates

suddenly upon the jagged fragments of
his shattered pride.

But he-he-who never even slurred
that low note! No use going anywhere
before taps" Only ten minutes now.
But his winds gone! His TAPS"
GONE
Bugler Flynn withdraws mechanically
into the shadows and watches the ap-
preaching group with dull sense Of
step. The X. O.'s commands are brief
and specific.
Make out your details in your own
quarters, all Of you. Pick your best
men. I won't have the regiment show
up badly. All the old ones. mind you,

The X. o. suffers pang almost Of
proxy jealousy. and arrsigns the new
conner before him in tho little Office

with the tactful, uncanny promptness

since midsummer the days have been

tragic conviction that docks and cob

Ape. Can't TwiddI. Their Thumbs.

Apes Can't Twiddle Their Thumbs.
The gorilla and chimpanzee. which
belong to the higher order Of apes,
have many points of resemblance to
man, but there Is one thing they cam
not do-that is, twiddle their thumbs
In the gorilla the thumb is short and
does not reach much beyond the bot
tom Of the first joint Of the forefinger.
It is very much restricted in its move
ments, and the animal can neither
twiddle his thumbs nor turn them
round 80 that the tips describe cir
Gle. There are the same number OF
bones in the hand Of the gorilla as in
the hand Of man, but the thumbs OF
the monkey have no separate f1exor
or bending muscle. This is why a
monkey always keeps the thumb on
the same side as the fingers, and
never bends it round any object that
he may grasp.

Disposition Of Oceans Victims.

Disposition OF Oceans Victims.
Really there Is no reason WY the
sinking of body in shallow water
should not continue In deeper oceans,
but the magnitude of the sea appears to
confuse the mind. So skilled hydrog-
rapher as Com. Matthew Fontaine
Maury allowed himself to believe that
by reason of depth and sadness Of the
ocean the bodies Of dead sailors
stopped short Of the bottom and there
interrupted awaited the day Of the
seas last gift. Since Maurys time the
salinity of the ocean has been de-
termined in every sea and for every
depth. and It has been established
that at no place is 1t sufficient to pre-
vent the sinking Of vessel. The
sounding apparatus used on naval and
scientific exploring vessels reaches
every depth, even the abyss of nine
miles IL the Nero deep between Guam
and the Philippines.

To Avoid Premature Old Aoe.

Men wear out too soon. In many

premature and for the most partsun-

form healthy habits, ten or Is years
can be added to his industrial ehi-
cheney, and substantial contribution
