Sassafras Time VIII Be Remembered
With Joy by Those Who Have
Passed Lies Meridian.

Sassafras tea held peculiar place
in the affections Of the boy of the
house. It was the one specific pre-
scribed by the domestic materia me-

taste, the one exception to the youth

servation, that a thing could not be

always pleasant period. The aroma
of the sleeping bark in the kettle on
the back of the kitchen stove filled the
house in the morning and in the frag-
rance there was always something for
eign. hint Of the spice islands of the
Orient, even though one knew that the
bark might bave come from one of the
big trees in the wood lot out beyond
the pasture.
And the ruddy beverage that took
the place of the customary cup of
breakfast cambria tea held a sparkle
that the ruby drops Of a more costly
vintage met with in later years never
rivaled. Sassafras tea may have been
an old-fashioned fetch; no modern
practitioner has ever been known to
prescribe it; but. be its virtues many
or few, it belongs to the past, to a
generation that, for instance, believed
in the "mad stone" as a sovereign
remedy for hydrophobfa and that warts
were caused by handling toads.

omeIets From Turtle Enus.

The sea is persistent competitor OF
the henhouse as producer of material
for omelets. Turtle eggs are eaten in
all hot countries. The turtles come
out of the sea, scrape a hole in the
sand, lay their eggs and cover them
up. Some times $50 eggs are found in
one sand nest. These eggs are about
the size of hens eggs, are covered
with white, parchment-like shell and,
if fresh, have an excellent flavor They
make tasty omelets, or may be fried,
but if boiled the white will not CONCEAL

Fresh water turtles also lay edi-

soft-shelled turtles in the lakes of
Florida and Louisiana, and also in

Orinoco. The Orinoco turtles lay eggs
extraordinarily rich in oil. The In

He did not close his eyes that

waiter solved the other and more dis-

CHAPTER xVIII-continued.


''You take this one," said Barnes,
"and will manage the other" He
was in a hurry to get away from the
house. There was no telling when the
government agents would descend
upon the place.
Barnes helped Peter to lift the
trunks into the car and then ordered
him to start at once for Harris Tav-

hurried around the corner of the
house.
A dry, quiet chuckle fell upon
Barnes ears. He glanced about in sur
prise and alarm. No one was in sight.
'Look up, young man." and the
startled young man obeyed. His gaze
halted at window on the second
story, almost directly over his head.
Mr.. Sprouse was looking down upon
him, his sharp features fixed in sar-
donic grin.

Barnes lips.

Sprouse calmly. 81 could drill hole
through you so quickly you'd never

hand was in his coat pocket, and a
quick glance revealed to Barnes a sin

ed squarely at his chest. "But I'm
not going to do it. 1 just want to set

CHAPTER XIX.

A Trip by Night and a Late Arrival.
Shortly after shutdown that eve
ming, the Rushcroft company evaeu-
ated Harris Tavern. They were de-
layed by the irritating and, to Mr.
Rushcroft, objectionable behavior of
two officious gentlemen, lately arrived,
who insisted politely but firmly on
prying into the past, present and fu-
ture history of the several members of
the organization, including the new
''backer."
Barnes had devised a very clever
plan for getting Miss Cameron away
from the tavern without attracting un-
due attention. She was to leave in
one Of the automobiles that he had en-
gagged to convey the players to
Crowndale, where they were to
"show." In case Of detention or in
quiry, she was to pose as stage
struck young woman who had OBJ
tanned a place with the company at
the last moment through his influence.
When the hour came for the depar-
ture from Harris Tavern he deliberate
ly engaged the two secret service men
in conversation in the taproom. Miss
Cameron left the house by the rear
door and was safely ensconced In Pc
ter's automobile long before he shook
hands with the "rat-catchers" and
dashed out to join her. Tommy Gray's
car, occupied by the four players, was
moving away from the door as he
sprang in beside her and slammed the
door.
Peters efforts to stay behind Tom

getic car were the cause Of many a

Sixty miles lay between them and

that the distance could be covered in
three hours, even over the vile noun

to tell the tale! The luggage had
gone on ahead of them earlier in the
day.
Soon after ten o'clock they entered
the town of Crowndale and drew ND
before the unattractive portals of the
Grand Palace hotel. An arc lamp
swinging above the entrance shed a
pitiless light upon the dreary, Godfor-
saken hostelry with the ironic name.
Miss Cameron was warmly con-
scious of the thrill that had come into
her blood when he carried her up the
stairs in his powerful arms, disdaining
the offer of assistance from the sud-
denly infatuated Tommy Gray.

Town of Historic Interest.

Briennele-Chateau,t the little French
town where Napoleon received his
military education, recently celebrated
the 105th anniversary of the emperor's
last visit to the village. 1t was on
January 20 that Napoleon began his
campaign against the allies, who were
storming at all the borders of France.
At Brienne, where ne had been taught
the grim science of warfare, he at
tempted to cut the Silesian army in
two by suddenly interposing his forces
between those of Schwartzenberg and
Bluecher, the object being to prevent
their uniting. Almost on the same
spot and on the same day Napoleon
had a hairbreadth escape from the at
tack of Cossack who attempted TO
murder him. 1t was only the prompt
assistance of Gorgaud that saved Ma
poleon.

lNDlANA'S FIRST COAL SHAFT
Old Mine Near Evansville Disappears
and the Site Has Become a
Beauty Spot.

After more than so years the old
Ingle coal mine has disappeared from
the Ohio river front between Evans

mine to be opened in Indiana and it
was owned and operated by an Eng
lish syndicate, the Indianapolis News

When the shaft was sunk 1t was
called the BOdiam mine and was man.

Evansville from England for that
purpose. The mine had been COM
pletely worked out when it was aban-
doned. The workings had drifted I'M
der the Ohio river to the Kentucky
shore.
The English syndicate sold the mine
to John IDgle, ST., and it remained in
his family many years. The last own

Crescent coal mine in Evansville.
