between them, and the scene stamped
itself upon my brain as clear as pho

The woolly beast wus the fur cap of
a dead man who lay across the floor
of the little room. There was a tiny
hole In his breast. over the heart, from
which a little blood had flowed. The

death had evidently been iDstantane-

Living Monstrositles.

Instances where living creature
appears to consist of two similar parts
capable Of certain degree of separate
life are cited by many authorities. 1t
Is noted that this phenomenon occurs
abnormally and occasionally even
among human beings. Instances are
Helena and Judith, the Hungarian
sisters d701-1723). the famous Siam
csc twins QS14-1S74), the South Caro-
lima negresses Mile and Christina,
and. the Bohemian sisters. Rosalie and
Josepha.
Often the union Is so much closer
that the consolidated individuals do
not survive long after birth. Among
the lower animals the phenomenon is
far more common than 1t is among
human beings. and 1t is thought pos
sible that by persistent selection and
breeding race Of double monsters
might be established.

MOTORS INSTEAD OF DOGS
Trip Over the Cascades In a Gasoline
Sleigh Was a Distinct
Success.

A spectacular trial trip was recently
made across the Cascades in a motor
sleigh, and number Of photographs,
taken ut various stages Of the journey,
are reproduced in Popular Mechan-
les. The achievement of the motor
sleigh was almost as amazing as that
Of the first army tank, conquering. as
II did, all kinds of obstacles. Swimming
the surface of snowfalls. old or new,
the strange little vehicle broke its way
through primeval passes with never a
stumble. The rescue of an automobile,
hopelessly stalled in the drifts Of Sno-
qualmie pass, was a mere incident In
its progress. Crossing deep gully on
q pair of hemlock poles was but one Of
the days adventures. The intended
substitution Of the motor sleigh for the
dog drawn sledges Of Alaska's snow
bound post trails means more to the
people Of that great territory than may
be generally realized. Jack London and
others have limned the malemute as a
romantic figure; but the followers Of
the trail know well he Is never that. It
is the elimination Of much human hard
ship, as well as canine inefiiciency, that
recommends the gasoline method.

The situation had become more
preposterous than ever. Two hours

rooms and was hurrying along Tenth
street, careless as to my destination
and feeling as though the whole world

she wore a wedding ring.

IN YEARS TO COME
fBv One Of the Boysl

(By One Of the Boys)
Let's lay aside our daily task,
And think Of the questions folks will
ask.
Let's look ahead for ten long years
And try to picture our careers.
With Sonny perched upon your lap,
All dressed up in soldier cap,
He sits and wiggles upon your knees
And asks you questions such as these {;
SAY. Daddy, tell me about the war
What you did and what you saw.
Were you in the trenches and over
the top
Did you hear the guns 20 pop-pop-
pop?
Did you see the Germans turn and
run
When you and your comrades turned
loose your gun?
Tell me, how many Dutchmen did
you kill
When you and your buddy charged
up the hill?
Ma said when they began this war
You joined the Aviation Corps;
I'll bet you flew away up high
And brought down Germans from
the sky.
And when you flew over German
ground
And dropped your sir-bombs all
around,
Did General Pershing watch and say
That flier sure has saved the day"
And then. with all those questions
asked
You picture your illustrious past;
Instead Of fighting the ood-thirsty
Hun,
You spent your time meath the Tex
as sun.
There amidst cactus, sand and fleas,
Where in summer you bake and in
winter, freeze,
To the Fighting S20th you were sent
To live and sleep in a pyramid tent.
There with others. with pen IN hand,
On the Trade Test Board you took
your stand;
Instead Of your rifle firmly gripped,
On Trade Test Detachment you we're
shipped
Asking questions and looking wise
Was how you fought meath the
southern skies;
You bow your head--you hem and
haw--
You will not tell what you did or saw.
So you. a brave Daddy, shake your
head
