frown lift, and a flicker of evil
laughter leap into his single eye,
Then he suit the thongs.
The corporal stretched his arms,
then his whole body, and after that
rose slowly to his feet. His cousin
watched him with eyes that smiled
inscrutably.

later.

paid pretty heavily for that piece OF
madness. You've got to remember
that I'm the heir Of Harrow Fell,
and that II I show my nose in Eng.

VILLAGE OF CHESS PLAYERS
Everybody in stroesbeck, Germany,
Plays Game and 1t Is Taught
in Schools.

Stroesbeck, Germany, a little peasant
village of 1900 souls, boasts that it
contains not a man, woman or child of
school age who does not play the an
cient game of chess, says CORE
spondent of the New York Tribune.
Even the small children have kings,
queens, knights and pawns as play
things. StrOesbeck's fondness of chess
dates back to the Eleventh century, so
the story goes, when Count Gunnelin,
of the Wendish tribe, held here as a
prisoner of the bishop of Magdeburg,
made his own chess board and taught
his prison guards to play.
Chess is taught in the schools and
the children carry their chess books
and their chess boards like children in
the United States carry srainmars or
arithmetics and states. Pupils in the
elementary classes in Stroesbeck must
pass an examination in chess and to
the winners of the contests the village
authorities give prizes-chess boards
and pieces.
Chess boards are painted on the
MUSES. anu out' AAS
bles and the sitting room tables in
nearly all homes are chess boards
themselves, and even the decorations
on the walls of the houses are draw
ings or paintings of some great game"
locally, or unusual play Of checkmate
by some player of renown.
Though Stroesbeck has been playing
phocc al rrin nf c
citizens has ever attracted more than
local fame. But the names Of the
world chess masters are almost sacred
here and the life Of each is known to
every child.
