FAMOUS BELLS OF BOSTON
Not the Least in the Historic Old City Is the One That Was Cast
 by Paul Revere.

A bell which was cast by Paul Re were still hangs in the belfry of Kings chapel, built when Boston was in its infancy. This bell was the one hun dred and sixty-first cast by Revere. Besides being a bell caster Revere al- so was an engraver, a goldsmith and a dentist. Rising above the modest houses is the old North church, from which Revere received his signal previous to his famous midnight ride. Christ church, the second Episcopal church of Boston, is situated in the north end, and is an off-shoot of Kings chapel. It's spire. designed and built in 1723, has served as a landmark to guide ships into the harbor. In 1894 this spire was blown down by a great gale, and was shortened by 16 feet. The chime of bells, now silent, which hangs in the tower, was made in 1774, in the foundry of Abel Ruddall, of Gloucester, England. Each bell has engraved upon it an inscription denot- ing it's history. The bells. as was con- mon belief in that time, were supposed to possess the power to dispel evil spirits.

truth, Shelby faced the facts frankly, and with no further hesitation. It was up to him to act promptly; there was no one to whom he could turn for help. His eyes darkened, and his jaws set. All right then, he would certain ly give the Kid run for his money. There must be some trail left; such q deed as this could never be accom- plished without leaving some mark behind. Whether they travelled on foot, or horseback, the party must surely leave some trace of passage. and Shelby, who had been the best trailer in his regiment, felt confident of being able to run the outfit down.
 With this once settled in his mind. and his plan of pursuit outlined, Shel- by threw off his depression, and be- came cool and resolute. First he searched over every foot of ground within quarter of a mile of the

BETTER ROADS
SAFETY FIRST FOR CHILDREN
Many Requirements Furnish Variety of Topics for Essays and Oral
 Discussion.

(Frepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture)
 The many requirements for safety Will furnish variety of topics for school children's essays and oral dis cussion. The dangers of railroad crossings at grade, the economic jus tif1cation for abolishing them, the im- portance of an unObstructed view up and down the track as vehicle approaches, and the disadvantage of sharp turns, etc., are suggestive subjects. Similarly there might also be mentioned the questions raised by street intersections and turns. In every town there are many crossings where the autOiSt's view is unnec- essarily limited by fences, shrubbery, or buildings; or where sharp curves with limited visibility invite serious accidents. Guideposts, markers, and other signs for the most efficient guid- ance of traffic through thickly settled communities also are part of the bigger and more inclusive topics of the economic importance of safety and guidance-the actual money value of human life and of accident prevention.
 Another question, in solving which the engineer and economist will need the help of enlightened public opinion (and this enlightenment should start in the public schOols), is that of the relation of the public highways to railroads and canals. The advantage of long hauls by rail and short hanls by motor truck; feeding into main terminal points by radiating systems of highways; a division of the trans portation burden by parallel systems of water, rail, and road transporta tiOn, are some of the subdivisions of this g6 eral heading.
 This listing of topics Is not intended to be complete or exact, but merely suggestive. Those which refer to con- struction could best be utilized when construction work is in progress in the vicinity of 8 school. Many of the other topics may be studied from maps, of which the students might be required to make tracingS or free-hand sketches showing the particular features for which emphasis is desired, or regarding which the exercise is being written. State highway depart ments often feel the need of a better popular understanding of the problems of road construction, and their officials would doubtless cooperate in hearty manner. Looking ahead. 1t is easy to see an actual shortage of men qualified to carry on the work of highway de- velopment, so rapid Is the growth of the good-rOads movement. Highway in-

Once on the trail he could easily outride the party he was following, and he had no desire to approach them closely until well after dark
 Once firm in the saddle, however, rifle under the flap, with haversack strapped on the opposite side, and 9lanket-roll behind, he gave the plung- ing. bucking demon between his legs little mercy. The man was in no mood for play of any sort. and set himself to conquering the brute in the quick est possible way. It was a rough, hard struggle, but the human won, and, un- der the merciless sting of the quirt, the maddened but subdued animal, nostrils distended, and eyes vicious as ever, yielded final obedience to the rein.

coIors Save the Eaas.

We have heard a great deal abOm protective coloration in nature, and when we consider the advantages which accrue to protectively colored eggs we may wonder why some eggs have remained pure white through the ages, why others are of the most con- spicuous greenish blue, and why still others stand out by their spotted or speckled patterns. says the American Forestry Magazine. White eggs are for the most part laid by hole-nesting species of birds like the owls and woodpeckers, and since the eggs are well hidden in their dark cavities 1t has not been necessary for them to develop protective coloration. The bright greenish blue eggs of most of the thrushes, for example, must be hidden in nests which are concealed in dense vegetation and the speckled eggs of the ground nesting sparrows depend for their safety upon the good hiding of the grass-wOven nest.

CHAPTER VII.
An Hour Behind.

An Hour Behind.
 There was no marked trail, but the instincts of plainsman kept Shelby's course directly to the northwest. The bronco, now thoroughly tanned, and obedient to the slightest pressure of the riders leg, kept a tireless gait, picking out unaided the easiest paths. From the general direction of the rail left by the raiders he had decided they were heading for a certain DOT ton of the Bad Lands, and, if this theory was correct, he ought easily to cut across their tracks again late in the afternoon. Sitting upright in the deep saddle. with the straight back of the cavalryman, his eyes watchful, his lips grimly set, he rode steadily on hour after hour, thinking, planning, beginning now to realize the depth of his own interest in this effort at res cue. He had hardly cOmprehended be- fore that this girl was really his wife that her life had become his to guard. The affair between them had occurred so swiftly, so unexpectedly. he had not before awakened to its true meaning. But now 1t became very real, and he was positively surprised to learn the strength of hold she al ready had upon him.
 His mind would finger over a thou sand little womanly peculiarities which somehow had unconsciously im- pressed him-the soft glow in her eyes, the wistfulness of her smile; the slight dimple in her chin; the pulsing of blood in her cheeks; the round firm ness of the white neck; the peculiar gracefulness of her walk; the name less attractiveness of boise, all came back now in odd fascination. He was not aware before that he had even noticed these things, but now their memory dominated him, caused his pulses to quicken. He had known lit tie of women since bOyhOod, and never before had he encountered on terms of intimacy this type of a woman. She had been a revelation to him even in his blindness, but now, under the spell of memory, she had suddenly changed to an inspiration. His wife, Olga Carlyn, his wifeI He said the words over, as though he recalled a dream, the sound of the words causing the startled buckskin to cast back an evil eye at his unconscious rider.
