would go to the Major in charge of the
hospital, tell his story, and do the only
thing possible. He had no doubt any
longer that Ke1lerman and the Henson
woman were partners in a. far-rea ching
conspiracy against his country, though
he had never before allowed himself
to accept the obvious deductions from
the Washington episode. His mind
moved slowly. His purpose had been

Hartley obsessed; now he meant to re-

years, he recalled Colonel Towards

been the chief agent in Hampton's

Origin of Family Names.

That the origin Of family names
can be readily traced is shown by a
recent book published by an English
scholar, in which he has successfully
traced more than 5000 names. He
reaches the conclusion that fully half
of them are based on occupation or
locality. Thus, Crook" likely
became the name Of a nan who lived
near the bend of a river rather than a
person of crooked body or morals.
Also "Wilder' meant not a wild man,
but one who lived in the wilderness.
Such names as Bishop. Pope, Priest,
Lord and other religious terms are de-
rived from names that characters bore
in the old church festivals and
~pageants. Long after the Norman con-
quest the baptismal name was, strictly
speaking, the only true name.

sand the Goose Hangs High"

The most popular explanation Of the
origin of the expression, Everything
is lovely and the goose hangs high" is
this: That it comes from the southern
country amusement known as goose
pulling" A goose, its neck carefully
plucked and well creased, was hung
by it's feet to a branch of a tree. The
men would ride past at a gallop, trying
to catch it by the neck and pull its
head off. The better the goose was in
lodging the greater the fun. When the
goose hung high, SO that the competi-
tors had to stand in their stirrups to
grasp 1t, the joy was the greatest. An
other suggested origin is that it refers
to the fact that wild geese fly in clear
weather; this explanation would
change "hangs" to "honks."
