First Payment of Rent.

It would be hard to find exact rec
ords of the first rent paid. 1t is said
that when the Germans conquered
parts of Gaul, the land was parceled
out to chiefs, lieutenants and private
soldiers. In return the holders Of the
lands promised military service when
needed. Some of the land was given
to favorites, who were allowed to pay
In money instead Of service, and the
system was established. Relt was
certainly known in the days that Rome
fourished, there being Latin names
for rent under long leasehold tenure;
rent of farm, ground rent, rent Of
state lands and the annual rent pay
able for the right to the perpetual en-
joyment of anything built on the sur
face Of the land.

I'm coming, Snowbird," mans strong

one other element affected the is
sue. She had whlred to answer Dams
cry Just as the cougar left the ground.
But she had still been In range. The
only erect was to lessen, in some de-
gree the accuracy Of the spring. The
bullet caught the beast in mid-air:
Dut even If II had reached its heart,
the momentum of the attack was too
great TO be completely overcome.
ShowDird only knew that some vast,
resistless power had struck her, and
that the darkness seemed TO roar and
explode about her.
Hurled to her face in the trail, she
did not see the cougar sprawl on the
earth beside her. The flame In the
lantern almost fiIcked out as 1t fell
from her hand, then flashed I'D and
down, from the deepest gloom to
vivid glare with something of the eff
feet of lightning Pickering In the sky.
Nor did she hear the first frenzied
thrashing of the wounded animal.
Kindly Inconsistencies had fallen, OBJ

great cat, In the agony of Its wound,
creeping with broken shoulder and
barred claws across the pine needles
toward her defenseless body.

Slept Thirty-Two Years.

Surety subject for the speculative
psychologist is the record sleep in
dulged In by Caroline Ohlson, a
Swedish girl. In 1875, when only q
child of fourteen years, she fell into a
long trance in the island of okuko, in
the Baltic, and remained unconscious
for 80 years. Food was administered
to her, although she seemed quite I'M
concerned. Nor did she respond to
any inquiry during that long time.
Then suddenly she awoke, no longer
girl, but q middle-aged woman, and
the most careful examination could
not reveal the slightest weakness or
mental effect. After coming out of her
long trance Caroline enjoyed very good
health.

Moral Forces.

Above all 1t is ever to be kept In
mind that not by material but by
moral force are men and their ac-
tons" governed. How noseless is
thoughtl No rolling of drums, no
tramp of squadrons. or Unreasonable
tumult of baggage wagons, attends
the movement. In what obscure and
sequestered places may the head be
meditating which Is one day to be
crowned with more than imperial au-
thorlty; for kings and emperors will
be among its ministering servants; 1t
will rule not over but in their heads,
and with these its solitary combina-
tions of ideas, as with magic formu-
las, bend the world to It's will. The
time may come when Napoleon him
self will be better known for his laws
than for his battles; and the victory
of Waterloo prove less momentous
than the opening of the first mechan-
les nstitute-Thomas Carlyle.

WORLDS MOST LONELY SPOT
Not a Desolate Island Nor the Center
of a Crowded City, but the un'

Asked to name the lonesomest place
In the world, traveller once answered,
"The island of Tristan d'Acunha, far
off the coast of South America. Its
population Is 70, and 1t is visited oy
vessel only once In two years"
But the traveller was all wrong. Iso-
lated, remote, limited in society the
island may be. But why lonesomef
The last thing we heard from 1t was
that all the inhabitants were working
together to fight dangerous plague
of rats. When people can get togeth'
err for common purpose they aren't
lonesome.
A man told US the other day that
the lonesomest place he ever found
was New York city where he didn't

at the M. Q, T. G., Fort Riley, Kan,

again he trotted within one hundred
feet of the girl.
lhree times more he tried to stalk
Defore he finally gave II up altogether.
lhis game was like the porcupine--
SIMPLY 10 be chased down and taken.
AND IN the case of all animals that
huht thelr game by overtaking IT,
there was no longer any occasion for
going silently. The thing to do was to
come close and spring from the trail
behind.
Though the fear was mostly gone,
the cougar retained enough of that
caution that most wild animals ex-
hbit when hunting a new game SO
that he didn't attempt to strike Snow
bird down at once. But as the chase
went on, his passion grew upon him.
Ever he crept nearer. And at last he
sprang full into the thickets beside
her.
AT that instant she had shot for the
first time. Because the light had left
his eyes before she could find aim,
both shots had been clean misses. And
terrible as the reports were, he was
too engrossed In the chase to be
frightened away by mere sound. This
was the cry the man-pack always
made-these sudden. startling sounds
In the silence. But he felt no pain.
He crouched a moment, shiverlng.
Then he bounded on again.
The third shot was a miss too: In
fact, there had been no chance for
hit. A sound In the darkness Is as
unreliable a target as can possibly be
imagined. And 1t didn't frighten him
as much as the others. He waited,
crouching, and the girl started on.
She was making other sounds now
queer, whimpering sounds not greatly
different from the bleat that the fawn
utters when 1t dies. 1t was fear
sound, and II there Is one emotion
with which the wild beasts are ac-
quainted, In all It's phases, 1t is fear.

She was afraid of him, then, and that
meant he need no longer be In the
least afraid of her. His skin began to
twitch all over with that terrible mad
ness and passion of the fesh-hunters.
This game was like the deer, and
the thing to do was lie In wait. There
was only one trail. He wasn't afraid
of losing her In the darkness. She
was neither feet like the deer nor
courageous like Wool the bear. He
had only to wait and leap from the
darkness when she passed.
When Dan Failing, riding like mad
over the mountain trail, heard the
third shot from Snowbirds pistol, he
felt that one of the debts he owed had
come due at last. He seemed to know,
as the darkness pressed around him,
that he was to be tried In the fire. And
the horse staggered beneath him as
he tried to hasten.
He showed no mercy to his mount.
Horse-aesh isn't made for carrying
heavy man over such trail as this.
and she was red-nostriled and lath-
cred before half mile had been COW
cred. He made her leap up the rocks,
and on fairly level stretches he loosed
the reins and dashed her into a gallon.
Only mountain horse could have
stood that test. He gave no thought
to his own safety. His courage was
at the test, and no risk of his own
life must interfere with his attempt
to save Snowbird from the danger

know a soul and his being there didn't
matter to anyone. And he was right,
but he set about changing that condi-
ton, and he didn't find even New York
lonesome very long. For the lonesom-
est place Is no question Of geography
or population or economics. The lone
soonest place Is always the human
heart which hasn't learned how to
reach out to other human hearts In
the sure knowledge that there will
be something In common, that If 1t has
affection to spend, and loyalty and
truth and friendliness, there are these
things in return waiting to welcome IT.

Mrs. Charles S. Swords and Mrs.

Girl Scouts, staged a rally in the 7th
Regiment Armory yesterday. One of
the most interesting exhibitions was
the drilling. of the deaf and dumb
