RAILROAD HAS WATER WAGON
Continuance Said to Work Success
fully in Minimizing the Discom-
forts of Dusty Tracks.

An appliance for sprinkling the
right-of-way over the dusty stretches
of track has been invented by w. H.
Whalen, superintendent Los Angeles
division, and is being tried out with
apparent success by the Southern Pa
cific on its lines between Indio and
Palm Springs, heretofore very dusty
section of track. According to the Lit
erary Digest, writer in the Southern
Pacific Bulletin (San Francisco says:
"The sprinkler consists of a perfOr-
ated pipe attached beneath the water
tender of the locomotive in such a way
that water is sprinkled on the track
as the train passes over 1t. According
to Mr.. Whalen the experiments have
proved very satisfactory, and South
ern Pacific Is planning the installation
of these sprinklers on all its passenger
locomotives operating in desert coun-
try. The scheme is an innovation in
railroad operation. The Southern Pa
cific has made various attempts to
allay dust by sprlnkling oil over its
right Of way in desert country, but
none of them, has proved as effective
as the railroad water wagon"

ODD APPEAL TO UNCLE SAM
Congressman Thought Old Gentleman
Might Have Some Kind of a
Statue Lying Around.

There is military officer In the
office Of the superintendent Of public
buildings and grounds at Washington
who, from a recent experience, has
reason to believe that some members
of congress are unreasonable.
A representative from a remote dis
trict In a far southern state teie-
phoned him for statue of some
kind-preferably a figure Of a soldier"
The representative went on to explain
that little town in his district has
decided to honor its several young
townsmen, who were killed in the
World war, and not having an abund-
ance of money to spend on a memorial
some of the leading citizens had Won
dered If Uncle Sam couldn't help out.
n thought your ONCE no doubt had
some statues laying around that you
had not selected sites for or else had
no further use for, in which event you
could let me have one to ship down to
my constituents" the representative
explained In serious and suave
manner ..
The latter, according to the army
officer, appeared more surprised than
disappointed when told over the tele-
phone that the Office of public build
ings and grounds was out of spare
statues.

BIRD TRAVELS 5000 MILES
United States Biological Survey
Traess Biue-WInged Teal From
Canada to Trinidad.

Washington.-How far will q migras
kory bird travel In its fall and spring
Alghts7 The biological survey has de-
termined that they make flights Of az
eeast 5000 miles.
An investigation has been cOnduet
ed for several years by the survey by
trapping ducks and other strong
winged fowl in northern sections and
marking them with light numbered
bands. The numbers on the fowl are
recorded and from time to time, hunt
ers bagging some of those marked, re-
port where and when the bird was
brought down.
More than 200 such birds were
ioosed with the bands from Lake
Scugog, in Ontario. So far the rec
ord flight is that Of hluewinged teal,
handed September "a, 1920, and killed
two months and seven days later in a
swamp near Port of Spain, on the Is
land Of Trinidad. The shortest pos
Eble flight the bird could have taken
10 reach this point, which is of the
coast of Venezuela, is 5000 miles.
In tracing their routes 1t seemed
apparent that the mallards and black
duck travelled together and their
course from Lake Scugog was south
ward along the shores of Lake Erie
by way Of the st. Clair fats. Here
the route divided, the majority con-
tinuIng southwest, crossing the Ohio,
and then to the Mississippi valley,
where the majority wintered.
The others took southeasterly
course, crossing the Alleghenies and
reaching the Atlantic coast by way of
Chesapeake and Delaware bays.

SQUIRRELS suroery Effective.

Some New Brunswick schoolboys
trapped a squirrel some time ago. It's
skin and the flesh of its legs were cut
through to the bone by the trap. The
little animal was put into a cage and
given some balsam boughs to play
with. A schOolteacher happened to
pass by the squirrels cage. She
stopped to look at it and observed it
pick some balsam from the boughs
and apply to its sore foot. The teach
er was interested in the little prisoner
and stopped to see it every day, and
the squirrel treated its foot in the
same manner. When the hurt was
completely cured the boys gave it its
liberty and it scampered off as quickly
as though it had never been injured

first 1t sounded for only two lives; it's
kept on beating, but still is beating
only for four. There were thirty-nine

the beats to twenty-seven there is still
a change that someone will be saved"
Constance watched him with wonder
at the effect of what she had told.
The news of the Drum had shaken
him from his triumph over Alan and
Uncle Benny and over her. 1t had
shaken him so that, though he re-
manned with her some minutes more,
he seemed to have forgotten the pur-
pose of reconciliation with her which
had brought him to the house.

afternoon, Miss Sheriff." the clerk
informed her.

search. He had gone tO-hinder it?

the man to her; that description had
not had meaning for her before; but
now remembering that description she
could think of Henry as the only one
who could have been in that house!
Henry had fought with Alan therel
Afterwards, when Alan had been at
tackled upon the street, had Henry
anything to do with that?
Henry had lied 20 her about being
In Duluth the night he had fought
with Alan; he had not told her the
true cause of his quarrels with Uncle
Benny; he had wished her to believe
that Uncle Benny was dead when the
wedding ring and watch came to her
the watch which had been Captain
S+affOrd's of the Miwaka! Henry had
urged her to marry him at once. Was
that because he wished the security
that her father-and she-must give
her husband when they learned the
revelation which Alan or Uncle Ben
ny might bring?
At Petoskey she went from the train
directly to the telegraph office. If
Henry was in PetOskey, they would
know at that office where he could be
found; he would be keeping in touch
with them.

imagined onCy vague interference and
obstruction of the search for them;
she had not foreseen that he could so
readily assume charge of the search
and direct, or misdirect, t..
At the Point she discharged the
sledge and went on foot to the house
of the caretaker who had charge Of
the Sheriff. cottage during the winter.
Getting the keys from him, she let
herself into the house. Going to her
room, she unpacked a heavy sweater
and wooden cap and short fur coat
winter things which We're left there
against use when they opened the
house sometimes out of seasOn-and
put them on. Then she went down
and found her SnOwShOes. Stopping
at the telephone, she called long dis
lance and asked them to locate Mr..
Sheriff., if possible, and instruct him
to move south along the shore with
whomever he had with him. She went
out then, and fastened on her snow
shoes.
Constance hurried westward and
then north, following the bend of the
shore. The figure of a man-one of
the shore patrOls-pacing the ice hum
mocks of the beach and staring out
upon the lake, appeared vaguely in
the dusk when she had gone about
two miles. She came, three quarters
of a mile farther on, to second man;
about an equal distance beyond she
found a third, but passed him and
went on.
Her legs ached now with the unac-
custOmed travel upon snowshOes; the
cold, which had been only a piercing
chill at first, was stopping feeling al
most stopping thought. She was hor-
rified TO find that she was growing
weak and that her senses were becom-
ing confused. She had come, in all,
perhaps eight miles; and she was
playing out" She descended to the
beach again and went on; her gaze
continued to search the lake, but now,
wherever there was break in the
bluffs, she looked toward the shore as
well. At the third Of these breaks,
the yellow glow of window appeared,
marking a house in hollow between
snow-shrOuded hills. She turned ca
gerly that way; she could go only
very slowly now. There was no path !;
at least, if there was, the snow drifts
hid 1t.
She struggled to the door and
knocked upon it, and receiving no re-
ply, she beat upon it with both fists.

THE INDIAN DRUM
By eyi1Yan, Macffarg and Edsyin Bal,oer
yEdwin

THE steamer Number % rammed
proved to have been the Benton" he
told her. "The men are all from her
They had abandoned her in the small
boats, and the Solwerk picked them
up before the ferry found her"
He was not asking her to congratu-
late him upon the relief he felt; he
had not so far forgotten himself as
that. But it was plain to her that he
was cOngratulating himself; it had
been fear that he was feeling before
fear, she was beginning to understand,
that those on the ferry had been saved.
Horror and amazement flowed in up
on her with her realization of this in
the man she had promised to marry.
For an instant she stared at him, all
her body tense; then, as she turned
and went out, he followed her, calling
her name. But, seeing the seamen in
the larger office, he stopped, and she
understood he was not willing to urge
himself upon her in their presence.
I'm willing to go home now, mother,
if you WISH" she said steadily.
When they had gone down to the
street and were in the car, Constance
leaned back, closing her eyes; she
feared her mother might wish to talk
with her.
Toward three o'clock, the office
called her, but only to report that they
had heard from Mr.. Sheriff.. He had
wired that he was going on from Man
istique and would cross the straits from
st. Ignace messages from him were to
be addressed to PetOSkey. There was
no other report except that vessels
were still continuing the search for
survivors, because the Indian Drum,
which had been beating, was beating
short" causing the superstitiOus to
be certain that, though some of the
men from Number % were lost, some
yet survived.
Constance thrilled as she heard
that. She did not believe in the Drum ;
at least she had never thought she
| had really believed in it; she had only
stirred to the idea of its being true.
But if the Drum was beating, she was
glad it was beating short. 1t was
serving, at least, to keep the lake men
more alert.
A little later, as Constance stood at
the window, gazing out at the snow
upon the lake, she drew back suddenly
out Of sight from the street, as she
saw Henry's roadster appear out of
the storm and stop before the house.
She waited in the room where she
was. The strain he was under had
not lessened, she could see; or rather,
if she could rust her feeling at sight
of him, it had lessened only slightly,
and at the same time his power to
resist it had been lessening too.

her that

something hot at the beginning of the
meal will start the sluggish stomach
so that it will more quickly assimilate
food.
During warm weather we reduce the
amount of meat consumed but do not
eliminate it entirely.
Spiced beef is a dish especially good
for hot weather dish, but is very I'M
common. Try it.
Virginia Spiced Beef.-Take a sir
loin of beef or a rump piece that has
been in the pickle eight days. Put in
a kettle of cold water over a slow fire.
Skim thoroughly, put in a lemon or
two with the seeds removed, two bay
leaves, a dozen peppercorns and two
tablespoonfuls of tarragon vinegar.
Let the meat cook slowly until tender
then allow it to remain all night in the
water in which it was cooked. Re
move and place the meat under
weight.
Ham Mousse.-Soften tablespoon
full of gelatin in enough cold water TO
cover, pour over it a cupful of boiling
stock, stir until dissolved, strain and
pour the liquid over two cupfuls of
chopped ham, stand aside until it be-
gins to CONCEAL, then fold in cupful
of whipped cream and turn the mix
ture into wet mold. Serve when
hard on lettuce.
A cupful of nuts added to the regu-
lation potato salad will make of it
dish sufficiently satisfying for the
main dish.
Stuff tomatoes with bread crumbs
and cheese. Pour n dish of seasoned
stewed tomatoes over a dish contain
ing few uncooked eggs, stir with
fork, season and serve.
For a hot weather luncheon or din
ner serve dish of soup hot and well
seasoned, boiled fish with tartar
sauce, bread and butter sandwiches
with chilled fruit and cookies for des-
sert or a dish Of ice or sherbet.
