McNulty?
The encyclopedia is silent concern
ing it's origin, but two marines of that
name. who probably did not even know
one another, had lives that were near
ly parallel to one another, and botn
distinguished themselves as heroes on
the battlefields of France. Which IS
indicative that the same fighting blood
courses in the veins of these McNultys

Their names were nearly alike

both in the marine corps-they were
both first sergeants-and both had
seen 10 years Of service under the
Stars and Stripes. Moreover, both
fought in the same battles in France
and both were seriously wounded.
And the climactic result of this strange

was very strange and new to her.
But she had been to school. and had
learned very many valuable lessons.
Father and Mother Otis Otter had
taught Betsy in their private school.
and it was, one Of the best, private
schools in the country. She had
nlgh honors, and she stood the high

all Betsy a a sweet nature, and a

to follow Dick Otter and let him

Why, Dick" Otter stuck out his furry

American railroad engineers who will
doubtless come to Siberia in large
numbers in connection with The re-
organization of the Trans-Siberian
railway, will have much to do with
the region OF the famous Lake Baikal

road. 1t is possible In the winter
months to cross the lake on sleds,
thus varying the monotony of the long
journey, and in summer by embark
ing on a steamer. But the builders Of
the railroad found it desirable to have
a safe all-rain passage to V~ladivostok,
SO the way was hewed through ranges
Of hills. The tunnels are now guarded
by Japanese troops.

fresh water lakes in the world, is

While there is no distinct departure

plotted. For instance. a marvellous
shade of French blue wool is used in
this attractive model with its long
