AS a nation we do these things

How is it, then, that we can ac-
cept the summer hospitality OF

it indicates temporary collapse of
self-respect. Such vandalism
leaves behind it proof positive
that the vandals are utterly indif-

Harvest ard Hunters Moon.

The full moon nearest the autumnal
equinox (September 22) is known as
the harvest moon" Owing to the oc-
currence Of minimum retardation In
the time of rising at that period, this
moon rises at nearly the same time on
several successive nights. 1t rises
early and gives the husbandmen who
have been playing golf all day an OPP
portunity to gather their crops, hence
its name. The hunters moon" Is the
moon following the harvest moon"
The occasion for its name is obvious.
1t occurs at the season of the year
when the country youth. the harvest
having been gathered, sings his gun
over his shoulder and wanders
through the woods in search OF the
gray squirrel and other larger game.

CHAPTER v.
Marie Dupont,

LATE was as respondent as Hilary
over LeblancS treachery. Hilary
had only one cause for satisfaction in
the situation. and that was a purely
personal one. He was glad that Lee
blanc'S cancellation of the contract had
left the Chateau grounds immune, and
so had neutralized Brousseau's first
move in the campaign.
What CALLED him was the reflection
that in this fight which Brousseau had
thrust upon him he was fighting
Madeleine too. He shrank from the
thought of Madeleine Rosny as Brous-
seau's wife; he tried to think of her
as sacrificing herself for her fathers
sake. But this picture would not hold
together; she was most evidently &C.
quainted with Brousseau's designs, and
approved of them.
On the day after the interview with
Leblanc new development occurred
LATE, who had been grumbling all day
came into the Office and flung down
his hat in utter detection.
Something new?" asked Hilary.
There's talk of strike" said LATE
In disgust. "Brousseau has had his
men at work among 'em, and They're
saying that you're keeping wages
down. and that Brousseau would give
two dollars a day if you would"
HE wants to get into my capital

and they're just swallowing it,"
Wen face that trouble when ii de-
velops." answered Hilary.
But Hilary did some hard thinking
and it settled about Dupont. If Brous.
seau could buy out Dupont he was
finished: he could never get a lumber
schooner that year. and he must get
out some shipments before navigation
closed. He decided to appeal TO Fa.

difficulty.

Father LUeien stopped and thumped
his stick upon the chipstrewn sand.

her face was flaming: yet. as she
rode. Efary could hear her sobbing
again.
He was sure that Brousseau was
the cause of her distress. He re-
called Lafe's words TO himself on the
night of their first meeting. Brous-
seau's grasping hand was stretched
forth not only on the seigniory but on
its heiress-and he vowed that the
battle between them should be fought
out on this ground also.

Ants That Plant.

A species of ants living on the semi
arid plains of Texas cultivate areas of
grass about their dwellings. On the
cultivated space, which may have an
area of ten to fifteen feet, only one
kind of grass is allowed to grow, and
it is said that the seeds of this grass
are planted by the ants. Roads are
laid out regularly, radiating from the
hill across the plain, and the shoots
of undesirable plants are promptly
nibbled off as fast as they appear
among the crops. When the harvest
of the protected grass is ripe the ants
collect the seeds and convey them
along a radiating highway to the little
rooms in their hills. Interesting and
wonderful is the economy of these
tiny insects. They may, when the col
onies are large and numerous enough,
do considerable damage to grain In
fields where their mounds are reared
and the clearings made.

Foremost of the funeral "celebra-

called Bangalas, near the Quango river
Here the deceased is asked TO state
the cause of his death. and is often
prosecuted before being buried.
The death of an African in these
sections is never announced, and. only
ON inquiry is anyone told of the death
of a tribe member. When the death
is generally known the relatives come
and fall into a state of excitement and
wailings, with frequent interruptions
of a hilarious nature. Drums and mus
ical instruments are assembled and
the revelry is continued until after
sunrise. This ceremony occupies TWO
DAYS. The body is brought out during
these ceremonies and fastened in a
sitting posture iii chair and placed
at the door of his hut, The idea OF the
natives is that the deceased shall share
in the festivities.

through the aid of evil spirits. The
body is then taken TO the cemetery.

everyone must die, that evil spirits
alone interfere with lives.

self had gone it became clear that he
had postponed his Inauguration of the
test of Hilary's authority, for reasons
known best to himself. or perhaps to
Brousseau.
Hilary came to the decision to ride
over to Ste. Marie that night and see
what was transpiring there. LATE, to
whom he confided his scheme. thought
it risky, but, when he could not induce
Hilary to change it, asked permission
to accompany him and made him
promise to avoid trouble.
1t was about an hour after dark
when they turned up from the beach
into the main street which held the
chief dance halls. Simeon Duvafs

were half a dozen more, and hilary

1t was a large wooden building.
within which score of lumbermen
were dancing. mostly with one an
other; but few had women partners.
There was 40 pretense of secrecy In
respect of the sale of liquor. Simeon
Duval, whom LATE indicated to Hilary,
was stoutish. middle-aged man in
shirtsleeves, with pale blue eyes and
a thin crop of reddish hair, turning
gray. He wore spectacles, which gave
him a strange. scholastic expression.
and the arms beneath his upturned
sleeves were mass of fat and muscle.
The interior was Wiley hot, gusts Of
fetid air came rolling out with the to-
bacco smoke, and the din was deafen-
ing.
As the two stood there Hilary was
astonished to see little Baptiste push
past them and enter. His face was
agitated, and he seemed to see moth
ing but his objective. He strobe
through the dancers toward one side
of the room, where two girls were
seated. Hilary had observed one of
them decline several invitations to
dance and drink. though apparently
urged by the other; now he recognized
them as Nanette and Marie Dupont.
Baptiste strobe straight up to Ma
RE and stood before her. Hilary could
hear nothing, but he saw the little
timekeeper gesticulating, and appar-
emily imploring her. He saw Marie
shrug her shoulders and avert her
face. Nanette was laughing, and two
or three of the lumbermen nearby
watched the little scene with amuse-
ment. Baptiste grew more vehement
Marie turned on him angrily.

would be impossible. Such an accl-
dent had happened on small scare
once before. If it should happen now
the loss would end all Hilary's hopes.
He was glad Baptiste had seen this.
Hilary searched for the figure OF the
little rfmekeeper and general utility
man, but failed to find it.
He assembled the hill beside the rush
ing cataract. He was crossing the
waste land where the logs and tin
cans were strewn when he saw jean
Marie. The little man was engaged in
earnest conversation with Black
Pierre behind a shed. Black Pierre
seemed to be protesting vigorously.
The presence of the man beside Bap-
tiste came to Hilary with a shock.
without changing his pace he adj
vanced toward them, in his mind re-
peating Lafe's advice over and over.
He was still inwardly quivering, yet
trying to appear unconcerned, when
the two perceived him. Pierre turned
toward him with scowl on his
bruised face. His eyes were black
ened, and he looked the incarnation Of
malignancy.
He spoke to Baptiste quickly, and to
Hilary's surprise Baptiste, without ac-
knowledging his presence, walked
slowly away with him. Baptiste's
sudden departure puzzled Hilary a
good deal at the time, and much more
afterward.

Cosmetics in History.

While the manufacture of cosmetics
began in antiquity, it is curious to
note how the custom has appeared,
disappeared, and reappeared through
out the ages. Probably the practice,
like many others, began in chance;
some primitive man fell into blue clay,
and when he emerged fancied that the
streakings enhanced his virile charms.
Perhaps some primitive woman smear
ed her cheeks accidentally with red
clay, or the juice of some red flower
rubbed off on it, and she was so
pleased with the effect that she pro-
duced it purposely thereafter. Other
women admired, envied, and initiated;
and thus a fashion was set.
