COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE
Hostess Saw Reason for Tharkfuiness
in View Set Forth by Her
Young Visitor.

Out on the east side the other aft
ernoon group Of women were having
a porch party. Now, all except one
were married, and the married ones
constantly talked to the one young
spinster on the subject of getting mar
ried. They even went so far as to
suggest some candidate for her hand.
And of one the young woman said.
"Oh, he wouldn't do. He's been mar
ried, and I've not yet reached that
stage where 1 have to take widower."
Absolute silence followed that re-
mark. With a wild start the girl real
lied that three of the women present,
including the hostess, were second
wives. She was just beginning to
reach the most painful stage of en-
barrassment, when the hostess laughed
easily, and tried to utter a remark that
would put everybody at ease. "Thank
goodness you haven't" she said.
"Otherwise you might be in my shoes
and in yours. '-Indianapolis News.

Richard resigned himself to long
argument. 1t was three o'clock when
Hardin let him turn in.
When he was getting ready for bed
he remembered the melodramatic
scene Hardin had entered upon. He
stared comprehendingly at the screen

din's coarse sneer-the Maldonado,
breathing fast, her hand over her

Neutnafized Poison Gas.

"Neutraiizing ointment" is one Of
the latest war inventions. 1t Is pub
licly revealed In an official description
of the protective devices against gas
attacks issued to our troops. The
mask, with it's contained chemicals
for neutralizing any poisonous fumes
that creep in is familiar. But one So
called gas is liquid and because Of
its blistering effect the soldiers have
given it the name Of mustard gas"
When an area is drenched with the
stuff the menace may persist for many
days. The peril is not from the liquid
itself. Mustard gas burns through the
clothing, and makes painful wounds
where the flesh is reached. The newly
invented ointment must apparently be
rubbed all over the body, as well as on
face and hands, to prepare the SOL
der when the enemy's bursting shells
are spraying this horrible gas about.

sTRANGEsT OF SHIP FREAKS
British inventor Must at Least Be
Credited With the Possession OF
Much Imagination.

Since that memorable day long ago
when our rude forefathers first ven
tured afioat in their dugout canoes
many very curious ships have been
built. Perhaps the most extraordinary
of all these freaks was the steamer
Connector, which was launched In
British waters in 1868.
The Connector was built in three
sections, each of which was, so to
speak, a ship Of itself. The bow or
forward section, which was fitted up in
the usual way, was jointed to the mid
ship section by means of huge bolt
in such manner that, as the ship
pitched, it could rise or fall quite in
dependently of the other two sections.
Thus, as the ship met the waves a
kind of wriggle ran along the hull.
First the bow section rose, then the
midship section followed suit, and
finally the stern section wriggled up
ward.
The craft passed safely through
some very severe trials, and even ven-
tured out in heavy weather. The idea
was to build up ships in sections like
trains, so that any particular section
could be dropped at the various ports
of call.

HOW FEBRUARY WAS NAMED
riod of Religious Expiation and
Publication.

February was one Of the two months
(January being the other) introduced
into the Roman calendar by Numa
Pompilius, when he extended the
year into IL of these periods. It's
name arose from the practice Of re-
ligious expiration and publication
which took place among the Romans
at the beginning Of this month, and
comes from februare, to expiate or to
purify. Among our Saxon ancestors
the month got the name of Sproutkale
on account of the sprouting of cabbage
at this ungenial season. The name
Of Sol-monatt was afterward conferred
on it in consequence of the return OF
the sun from the low course in the
heavens, which it had been running,
starting on the first day of the month.
The following day, or February 2,
has from date unknown in the Chris
tian history been held as festival Of
the publication of the Virgin, carrying
out the pagan idea Of cleansing, ac-
cording to some writer's, but the idea
is at least open to doubt, as its pop
ular name, even In the early church, Is
Candlemas, from the practice of carry
ing lighted candles In procession in
memory of Simeon's words at the pres
entation Of the infant Jesus. 'aTo be
a light to tighten the Gentiles." The
Christmas decorations are taken down
on this day in the churches.

to smite her, wherever she was. Was
it not egotism, personal pride, that was
making her cover her eyes, like any
simple ostrich? Her bsother-assume

levee-no isolated accidents those.
Hardin's luck!
A flush of miserable shame came to
her. How they had all been trying to
spare her-Eduardo, these kindly Mar
shalls-MacLean! She was turning,
impulsively, to ask Tod Marshall If he
thought, could he think it probable
that they would fail, when step that
sent the blood to her face took the
cars stairs at two leaps. Now in
deed, the dinner was spoiled.
.That's Rickard. I forgot to tell you
that asked him to dinner. He couldn't
get away. He said he'd run in for cof-
fee. Hello, Richard. Thought you'd
forgotten us!"
She hadn't thought of that contin-
gency! She found herself shaking
hands with him. Gould he not hear her
mind, ticking away at the Maldonado
episode?
OF course he would insist on seeing
her to her tent. Punctilious, always.
Well, she just wouldn't. Perhaps she
could slip out some way. She would
watch her chance.

Richard.

She asked to be shown over the car.
Innes confided her plan. She wanted
to slip out. "She would not interrupt
their evening; Mr.. Marshall had bust
ness to discuss"
Mrs. Marshall would not hear Of 1t.
She said that Mr.. Marshall would
never forgive her if she let Miss Har-
din go home alone. Her opposition
was softly implacable.
Innes went back to the sitting room
Of the car angrily coerced. Richard
was still closeted, conversationally,
with his superior.
At last, desperately, she rose to go.
OF course, he must insist upon going
with her. OF course!

The good-bys were said. She found
herself walking rebelliously by his
side. "No, thank you!" to the offer Of
his arm.

things be. She jumped up. "Oh, stop

lowed by a strange bitter smile that
brought age to the face Of Gerty Har-
din.
In her own tent, Innes found excuse
for her lack Of self-control. She did
not like the color of scandal; she
hated smudge. Gerty had said the
whole camp knew it; knew why the
Mexican woman was in camp! She
did not trust Gerty in anything else
why should she trust her in that? She
would forget Gerty's. gossip.
But she remembered it wildly that
week as she washed her own khakis
as she bent over the ironing board in
Gerty's sweltering "kitchenette." She
thought of it as she returned Rick
ards bow in the mess tent the next
morning.; each time they met she
thought of it. And it was in her mind
when she met Sonora Maldonado by
the river one day, and made sudden
wide curve to avoid having to speak

The coming Of the Indians gave the
impetus the work had lacked. Under
jerks Of the railroad company a large
force was put on the river; these. the
weavers of the brush mattresses that
were to line the river bed. On the
banks were the brush cutters; tons of
willows were to be cut to weave into
the forty miles of woven wire cable
waiting for the cross strands. Day
by day the piles of willow branches
grew higher, the brush cutters work
ing ahead of the mattress workers in
the stream. In the dense underground
the stolid Indians, Pimas and Marico-
pas and Papagoes, struggled with the
fierce thorn of the mesquit and the
overpowering smell of the arrow
weed. AS tough as the hickory handles
they welded, they fought a clearing
through dense thickets in the intense
tropic heat.
Down stream the Brobdingnagian
arm of the dredge fell into the mud of
the bypass, dropping it's Shiny burden
on the far bank. Down the long
stretch of levee the "skinners" drove
their mules and scrapers; two pile
drivers were setting in the treacher-
Gus stream the piles which were to
