WlndmiIIs Tell News In Holland.

Births. marriages and deaths in GER
tain parts Of Holland are announced by
windmills. When a miller gets married
he stops his mill with the arms Of the
wheel in slanting position, and with
the sails unfurled. His friends and
guests frequently do likewise with
their mills in token of the ceremony.
To indicate birth the wheel Is stopped
in slanting position, but at a moro
acute angle than that Of marriage, and
with the two upper sails Unfurled.
Should a miller die, the sails Of tha
mill are all unfurled and the wheel La
turned round until the arms form an
upright cross, In which position they
are left until after the funeral takes
place

ROCKY GLEN SANATORIUM

Is always striving to maintain
and spares no pains TO create Il de-
lightful atmosphere for the welfare
of the patients at the institution.
Good wholesome food in abun-
dance and plenty of entertainment
are some of the assets of the sana-
torium. A few months ago when
the radio craze first struck the
world and we were all startled at
the wonders of it, a very expensive
outfit was installed for the pleasure
of the patients, but as soon as the
wore off it failed to hold
interest. The management now
have discarded the radio and taken
it out. They have contracted for
new fine Victrola to take the place
of a little old Victrola that has been
there ever since the institution has
been in existence. By actual use
and observation the sanatorium has
never had anything that affords the
constant every day enjoyment the
furnishes.
The new instrument will be the
very latest. and installed this week

CHAPTER viii

In almost moment. Duncan was
out of the thickets and into the big
timber AS far as he could see there
was nothing but the great pines climb
Ing up the long slope of the ridge. They
stood straight and aloof. and they were
very old.
He fell into their spirit at once. The
misunderstood emotions that had
flooded him In the. cabin below died
within him. The great calm that is,
after all, the all-pervading quality OF
the big pines came over him. Bruce
was rather tremulous and exultant as
he crept softly up the trail.
1t was the last lap of his journey.
At the end of the trail he would find
Linda! And it seemed quite fitting
that she would be waiting there,
where the trail began, in the widest
heart of the pine woods. He was
quite himself once more-carefree,
delighting in all the little manifesto
lions of the wild life that began to
stir about him.
His delight grew upon him. 1t was
a dream coming true. Always, II
seemed TO him. he had carried In his
mind a picture of this very land, a
sort of dream place that was real
ity at last. He had known just how
it would be. He had ALWAYS known

CHAPTER III-Continued.

"And why have you been so long
IN telling meY
When Dawes chief asked questions
In this tone, answers always came
quickly. They rolled so fast from the
mouth that they blurred and ran to-
gether. ''Why, Simon-you amt been
where could see you. Anyway, there
was nothin' we could have done"
There wasn't, Ell? 1 don't suppose
you ever thought that there's yet two
months before we can clinch this
thing for good, and young Folger
might say might-have kicking
about somewhere In his belongings
the very document we've all of us
been worrying about for twenty
years." Simon cursed-a single, fiery
oath. "But we are yelling before
we're hurt. 1t isn't worth a crossword.
Like as not. this Wegan will never
take the trouble to. hunt him up. And
IL he dOes-weIl. It's nothing to worry
about, either. There is one back door
that has been opened many times to
let his people go through, and it may
easily be opened again"
Dawes eyes filed with admiration.
Then he turned and gazed out through
the window. Against the eastern sky
already wan and pale from the en-
croaching dawn, the long ridge of a
mountain stood in vivid and startling
silhouette. The edge of it was curl
Ously jagged with many little upright
points.
There was only one person who
would have been greatly amazed by
that outline Of the ridge; and the
years and distance had obscured her
long ago. This was a teacher at an or
phanage in a distant city, who once
had taken a crude drawing from the
hands of child. Here was the original
at last. 1t was the same ridge,
covered with pines, that little Bruce
had drawn.

Kangaroo is a Born Boxer.

The art of boxing comes NATURAL,
to the kangaroo. The mother gives
the young kangaroo his first lessons
in this mode of self-defense. After
ward the father takes up the teach
ing, and with much gentleness and
patience trains him to box. When
kangaroos box they back off and rush
in and prance about very skillfully.
Each one watches for an opportunity
to strike, and at the same time tries
TO prevent the other from striking.
They cleverly try to move about so as
TO get the enemy below them on the
slope of hill. The resounding blows
they give with their hind feet can be
heard Ear away. The kangaroo fights
like gentleman. He is good
sportsman, even when he is fighting
with his enemy. The animals strike
with the fiat of the foot, and never
use against each other their terrible
ripping claws.

Then he opened his eyes. The
light had grown around him. His
hands were quite plain. Slowly, as
man raises his eyes to a miracle,
he lifted his face.
The forest was no longer obscured
in darkness. The, great trees had
emerged, and only the dusk as of
twilight was left between. He saw
them plainly,-their symmetrical
forms, their declining limbs, their tall
tops piercing the sky. He saw them
as they were,-those ancient, eternal
symbols and watchmen of the wilder
ness. And he knew them at last, ac-
quaintances long forgotten but re-
membered now.
1.-The pinesI" he cried. He leaped
to his feet with flashing eyes. II

Terms Commonly Used by the Elec.
trician Are Explained for
the Layman.

The Language of the electrician is
Greek to most people. While he talks
glibly of volts and amperes and watts,
they know only that they have to pay
an electric-light bill for so many units,
and let it go at that, remarks London
Tit-Bits writer.
Though electricity is not fluid, we
can understand most of its terms by
comparing it with water flowing
through pipe. If we turn stream
of water onto the paddles of water
wheel, the work that the wheel will
do depends upon two things-the
amount of water delivered every sec
ond and the pressure Of the stream.
We measure the first in gallons and the
second in pounds.
In the case of electricity, we meas
ure the rate at which it flows In am
peres and its pressure in volts. The
work which it will do is found by null
tiplying amperes and volts together,
which gives the answer in watts, or
units of energy.
The board of trade unit is 1000
watts. often called a kilowatt, while
the electrical equivalent of one horse
power is TAG watts.
You will find the number Of watts
they require engraved on most electric
lamps. and from this you can discover
what they will cost ~ use. A 25-watt
lamp will use one unit of 1000 watts
in 40 hours burning; and IL electricity
costs tenpence unit, the lamp will
work out at a farthing an hour.
The ohm is another electrical meas
urement which can be understood by
a comparison with water. Water flows
easily through large pipe, but IL the
pipe Is narrow. only small quantity

good many things can happen up
there. A good many things have hap
pened up there. I warn yOu-go
back 7"
Bruce smiled, just the faint flicker
of smile, but Simon's eyes narrowed
when he saw it. The dark face lost a
little of its insolence. He knew men,
this huge son of the wilderness, and
he knew that no coward could smile in
such moment as this. He was ac-
customed to implicit obedience and
was not used to seeing men smile
when he uttered threat. "Ive come
too far to go back" Bruce told him.
Nothing can turn me-"
''Men have been turned before, on
trails like this" Simon told him.
Don't misunderstood me. / advised
you to go back before, and I usually
don't take time or trouble to advise
any one. Now 1 tell you to go back.
This is a mans land, and we don't
want any tenderfeet here"
"The trail is open," Bruce returned.
It was not his usual manner TO speak
in quite this way. He seemed at once
to have fallen into the vernacular of
the wilderness of which symbolic ref
erence has such part. Strange as
the scene was to him, 1t was in some
way familiar too. 1t was as if this
meeting had been ordained long ago I;
that it was part of an memorable des-
tiny that the two should be talking to-
gether, face to face, on this winding
mountain road. Memories-all vague,
all unrecogniZed-thron through
him.
Many times, during the past years,
he had wakened from curious dreams
that in the light of day he had tried
in vain to interpret. He was never
able to connect them with any remem-
bered experience. Now it was as If
one of these dreams were coming true.
There was the same silence about him,
the dark forests beyond, the ridges
stretching ever. There was some
great foe that might any instant over
whelm him.
II guess you heard me-" Simon
said; II told you to 60 back"
And 1 hope you heard me too. I'm
going on. 1 haven't any more time to
give YOU.
"And I'm not going to take any
more, either. But let me make one
thing plain. No man, told to go back
by me, ever has a chance to be told
again. This amt your cities-up here.
There amt any policemen on every
corner. The woods are big, and all
kinds of things can happen in them
and be swallowed up-as l swallow
these leaves in my hand"
His great arm reached out with
incredible power and seized hand
full of leaves off a nearby shrub. 1t
seemed to Bruce that they crushed
like fruit and stained the dark skin.
1--WE already decided. I'm going
on
Once more they stood, eyes meeting
eyes on the trail, and Simon's face was
darkening with passion. Bruce knew
that his hands were clenching, and
his own muscles punched and made
I ready to resist any kind Of attack.
But Simon didn't strike. He laughed
instead-a simple deep note of utter
and depthless scOrn. Then he drew
back and let Bruce pass on up the
road.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1922-10-27

how the pine shadows would fall
across the carpet of needles. The
trees themselves. were the same grave
companions that he had expected, Sbut
his delight was all the more because
of his expectations.
As the trail climbed higher, the
sense of wilderness became more
pronounced Even the trees seemed
larger and more majestic, and the
glimpses of the wild people were
more frequent. The birds stopped
their rattle-brained conversation and
stared at him with frank curiosity.
The grouse let him get closer before
they took to cover.
The hours passed. The trail grew
DINNER Now it was just brown
serpent in the pine needles, coiling
this way and that-but he loved every
foot of it. 1t dipped down TO little
stream, Of which the blasting sun of
summer had made only succession
of shallow pools. Yet the water was
cold to his lips. And he knew that
little brook trout-waiting until the
fall rains should make torrent of
their tiny stream and thus deliver
them-were gazing at him while he
drank.
BY a queer pounding of his blood
Bruce knew that he was in the high
attitudes. He had already come six
miles from the cabin. The hour was
about six-thirty; in two hours more
it would be too dark to make his way
at all.
