CHAPTER XIX.

1t was night when Barry Houston
limped, muscles cramped and frost
numbed, into the little undertaking
shop at Tollifer and deposited his
tiny burden. Medaine Robinette had
remained behind in the care of the
snow crews.
"Nameless," he said with an effort,
when the lengthy details of certifca-
and necessary lie came to his lips
became unconscious before she
could tell me anything except that
the baby had been baptized. She
wanted priest"
From far away came the whistles
of locomotives, answering the sig
nails of the snow-plows ahead. He
remembered the bulky cars of ma
chinery at Tollifer. 1t was partially
his battle they were fighting out
there. He. fumbled aimlessly in his
pockets for his gloves. Something
tinkled on the floor and he bent to
pick up the little cruciix with it's
twisted, tangled chain, forgotten at
Tollifer. Duly, hazily, he stared at
it with his red eyes, with the fam
feeling of a duty neglected. Then:
"She only said they might want
it, he mumbled. I'm sorry-I
should have remembered Pm al
ways failing something"
Then, anxious to take his place in
the fighting line, he replaced the
tiny bit of gold in his pocket and
threaded his way through the cir
scuitous tunnel of snow.
Even from the distance, Barry
could bear the surge of the terrific
impact, as the( rotary smashed
against the tight-jammed contents of
the shed, snarltd and tore at its
enemy, then, beaten at last by the
crusted ice Of the rails, came grudg-
ingiy back so that the crews might
break the ice from the rails and
give traction for another assault.
Houston started forward, only to
stop. A figure in the dim light of
the cook car had caught his eye.

BARLEY STANDARD or WEIGHT
Measurements That Today Seem Odd
Wsre Established In England
by King Henry III.

Parliament, during the reign Of
Henry III, established standards Of
length and weight with actual
grains of wheat and barley as a
basis. Three barley corns were an
inch, and from that was built up
our table Of inches, feet, ellis (yards) F.,
perch and acre. One restriction was
that the barley corn must be dry and
taken from the middle of the ear
and laid end to end.
Under the same system, it is re-
corded, 80 grains of wheat made q
penny-weight, and from that as a
basis they worked out the Troy
pound in which IL ounces still
make a pound, Originally the sizes
Of shoes were based upon grains OF
barley, and it is said that these
are the same today as in the early
days. There we're 13 grains Of bar
ley to each size.
"Furlong" is an old English word
meaning "furrow long," and is based
upon the length furrow would be

ASTRONOMERS WILL Be BUSY
Planet Coming Close 70 the Earth A.
fords Opportunity for Most
Valuable Observation.

Astronomers all over the world
are preparing to ascertain the exact
distance Of the sun from the earth.
The number Of tiny planets,
whose. orbits lie (in the main) be-
tween those Of Mars and Jupiter,
mounts up year by year, and now
approaches 1000 The majority OF
them have no interest save to the
professional astronomer, but it hap
pens that three Of very special in
terest have been under observation
in recent months. The first Of these
is Eros, which was discovered by
DR.. Witt of Berlin, in 1898.
1t was soon found that the orbit
of this planet approaches that Of
the earth within 100000 miles,
or much nearer than any other
planet. This makes it peculiarly
adapted for determining the scale Of
the solar system, and in particular
the distance of the sun, by means
Of simultaneous observations at dis
tant observatories. 1t will not make
one Of its closest approaches till
February, 1881. Preparations are
already being made for utilizing
that occasion to the utmost.
At present the distance is reck-
oned at something under 93,0OO,-

NoLAssEs new AUTO FUEL
Crop in Cuba Is Nov Converted Into
Denatured Alcohol, and Finds
Ready Market.

Cuba has found a new market for
her molasses crop converting it into
denatured alcohol for automobile use,
according to Charles E. Hires, Jr.,
Of Philadelphia, who recently re-
turned from that country. When
prohibition was enacted in the Unit
ed States it automatically destroyed
Cuba's market for millions of gal
Ions of molasscs. The molasses was
formerly refined in America and dis
tributed to the brewing companies,
When the brewers ceased to brew,
molasses became a drug on the Gu"
ban market temporarily.
"A large percentage is now being
converted into denaturcd alcohol"
SAYS Mr.. Hires, "and forms the base
Of a new automobile fuel used by
practically all of the cheaper, and
many of the more expensive, cars
in Cuba. 1t sells for 80 cents q
gallon against so cents a gallon Of
gasoline. What does not go into
automobile fuel is turned into pure
alcohol and shipped to South Amer
lea, where there is no Eighteenth

The Importance Of insisting upon

After making tour of the residence

was quite evident that the cItizena
there are making every effort to have
their city known, not only as pro
gressive and up-to-date center, but as
one Of the beauty spots of the South
as well
In our own Kansas City should we
not take more seriously the sugges-
tions of Just and successful news
paper and give more thought and at
tention to the cleaning up, painting
and Identifying OF our downtown dis
tricts? To my mind. the present is the
critical period In the life of our great
city, and we should be careful not
to allow our interest In It's financial
welfare to oyershadow our desire to
be known in the future as the city
beautiful.
Advertising is one Of the biggest fac
tors In business, but before we can
take advantage of that means we
must get our business, or our com-
munity, in such a condition that we
are justified in offering it to thepublic.
