touched IN his amour propre by seeing
his suddenly acquired military rank

be known to his fellow citizens. He
promptly called upon the new com
mander and made acquaintance with
Lieutenant Fitzhugh Beverley. who
tust then was experimenting the
work Of cleaning up an old cannon
IN the fort and mending some breaks
in the stockade.
Helm formed a great liking for the
big Frenchman, whose breezy freedom
Of manner and expansive good humor
struck him favOrably from the be
ginning. NJ ROussillOn's ability 70
speak English with considerable ease
helped the friendship along, no doubt;
at all events their first interview
ended with a hearty show Of good
fellowship, and as time passed they
became almost inseparable com

among the Indians. They played

She relaxed her state. united her

erley, bowling again, L am sorry not to

AS he was turning to go simmer
of brown hair streaked with gold
struck upon his vision from just with
in the door. He paused, as If in re-

. pair Of gray eyes met his with
fash. The cabin room was i'll lighted;
Int the crepuscular dimness did not
seen 10 hinder his sight. Beyond the
cir figure. a pair Of slender swords
hunF crossed aslant on the wall OPP
posi-e the low door.
Beverley had seen, in the old world
galleries, pictures in which the shad-
owy and somewhat uncertain back
ground thus forced into strongest pro
lection the main figure, yet without
clearly defining It. The rough frame
Of the doorway gave just the rustic
setting suited to Alice's costume, the
most striking part Of which was a
grayish short gown ending Just above
her fringed buckskin moccasins.
Around her head she had bound a
blue kerchief. a wide corner Of which
lay over her crown like a loose cap.
Her bright hair hung free upon her
shoulders in tumbled half curls. As
a picture. the figure and its encourage
might have been artistically effective;
but as Beverley saw it in actual life
the first impression was rather en-
barrassing. Somehow he felt almost
irresistibly invited TO laugh. though he
had never been much given to risi-
bility. The blending. or rather the
juxtaposition, Of extremes face. a
form Immediately witching, and a cos
tune odd to grotesquery-had made
an assault upon his comprehension at
once so sudden and so direct that his
dignity came near being disastrously
broken up. A splendidly beautiful
child comically clad would have made
much the same half delightful, half
pleasing impression.
Beverley could not stare at the girl,
and no sooner had he turned his back
upon her charm than the picture in
his mind changed like a scene IN
kaleidoscope. He now saw tall,
finely developed figure and d face deli
cately oval. with a low, wide fore
head, arched brOws. n straight. slight
" tip-tilted nose, a mouth sweet and
fun. dimpled cheeks, and q strong
chin set above a faultless throat. His
Imagination, IN casting off its first
impression. was inclined to exagge-
rate AIice's beauty and TO dwell upon
its picturesqueness He smiled as he
walked back TO the fort. and even
found himself whistling gayly

ly two-thirds of the industrial en-

Officials OF the Detroit board Of

1t is recalled that during the same
period the population of Detroit has
more than doubled.
In 1914 Detroit had a total of 49,

The steel wheel has succeeded the

The pnhlie's idea, back in 1850,
that the paper wheels superiority was
that the paper center would not be

reason for lbs value lay In the deahen-

were placed together, dampenod,

Is sheets. were then pressed together
and dried for from 80 10 90 days In

four sections OF rs sheets or ie2 and
press them together. This made UP the
block from which the wheel was made
and II was allowed to dry IN the kiln
six months.
All that then remained was 10 turn
this block on lathe until II attained
