CHAPTER XII.
q. A Nioht Ride, ..

Meriem and Bwana We're sitting on
the. yeranda together, the following
day when horseman appeared in the
distance riding across the plain toward
the bungalow, ., -..f o..
Bwana shaded his. eyes with his hand
and .gazed~ out toward the oncoming
rider. He W!as. puzzled Strangers
were few in central Africa. Even the
blacks for Il distance of many miles in
every direction were well known to
him. No white man came within q
hundred miles that word of his COM
ing did not reach BWana long before
the stranger. His every move was re-
ported TO the big BwanaLjust what
animals ne killed and how many of
each species, how he killed them, too,
for Bwana would not permit the use
of prussfc acid or strychnine, and how
he treated his ''bOys." "~f"> -..n s"1
But here was evidently one who had
slipped into the country unheralded
Bwana could not ina gine who the ap-
preaching horseman might be-: .-
After the manner 'Of frontier hOSpi-
tahty the globe round. he met the new
conner at the gate, welcoming him even
before he had diSmounted. He saw a
tall, weli-kniti man sof thirty or more,
blond of hair and iSnooth-sbaven.
There, was a. tantalizing familiarity
about him that conxinced BWana that
he should be able to call the visitor by
name. yet he was unable to do so.
Bwana was wondering how a lone
white man could have made his way
through the savage, unhospitable miles
that lay toward the south. AS though
guessing what must be passing through
the others mind, the stranger vouch-
safed an explanation.

Cheerful Open Crate Is
Most inefficient Device
Used in Heating a House.

The winter days call attention to the
proper use of the CRATE fire by those
who will try to help the country save
coal. When the need Of using fuel
9eeoHoHi eaily is as strong as it is now,
writes Van H. Manning, director Of the
bureau of mines, department of the In
terror, we can say, twisting our words
"a bit that the5 proper way tp-alse the
sgrateis to1usei it,not at all z4If we look
at the open CRATE as merely heating
device, and know how small proper
ton Of the total heat in the fuel enters
the. room to be warmed, we must re-
gard theS open <gsate as probably the
most inefficient Of all the inefficient de-
vices used in heating q house. The
cheer and companionship of an open
CRATE fire must not be 'chargedSagainst
sthe heating bill but to sofde other ac-
count.
Efficiency is always ratio or frac-
ton, and,i what you getout compared
with what youep put In. into the crate
one puts fuel that has the ability to
produce a large amount Of heat, but
the useful heat obtained from this fuel
is relatively small. Most Of the heat
in the fuel goes racing up the chimney,
in company with large amount of air
from the room, this air being replaced
by cold air drawn in through cracks
and crannies in the windward side Of
the house. As adeYice for drawing in
cold air a CRATE is excellent, but it fur
nishes much more ventilation than Is
needed. Mush less fuel, properly
burned in a stove, would warm the
house better. - ! {

to be on the scene, noticed this dis
crepancy; he called the man out OF
the ranks, took. him to his office and
delivered a stern lecture on the neces-
sity of military exactitude. During
the admonition the private maintained
q dignified silence. When the colonel
had finished, he pointed to the door.
The man went out.
The following morning he appeared
at reveille with his coat again unbut-
toned. When the formality was con-
cluded, the captain called him to one
side.
Didn't the colonel tell you to keep
your coat buttoned?" he demanded.
The private regarded him blankly.

two or three inches long to be darned

regulation gray or khaki colored yarn
that is sold for army garments, and
one pair of No. 3 needles. For muf-
fer 21s hanks of yarn (5s pound) are
needed. Cast on 80 stitches Cor few

way as for the squares, with the plain

ally the lice are not present on the
birds in sufficient number to prove parj

neck, two on the back, one on the

blue ointment, a piece about as large
