may have many failings. but lack of
courage cannot be counted among
them.
One morning an oldish man walked
into my office and said that lion and
lioness were moiesting the peace Of
his village. about fifteen miles away.
He wished me to come and destroy the
beasts. promised to go the following
day, but unfortunately the inyestiga-
tlon of a case of murder occupied my
attention and could not go.
The day after, the old man came be-
fore me, dangling at the end OF piece
OF rope what / first thought was skin
Of honey, but second glance showed
IL was the head Of the lioness. He told
a story which l corroborated the same
afternoon when l went 10 the village
to dress the wounds of the chief actors
Three boys about fifteen or sixteen
years old-no Arab knows his exact
age but calculates by the time of some
striking incident--went out to their
field each carrying smaIl throwing
spear, and they saw the lion and his
mate under a bush. The first lad
threw his spear and missed. and the
quarry bounded off under another
bush. The next boy hurled his spear
and also missed. A third spear hurtled
through the air from the arm of the
youngest lad and struck the lioness in
the side. She Immediately turned and,
with one spring, seized the thrower
round the shoulders, threw him TO the
ground. and began gnawing at his neck
One Of the boys took Off the long
garment he was wearing, bound 1t |
swiftly around his arm and, grasping
the animals left ear with his left
hand. drove his right arm down her
throat. AS her teeth closed on his
arm, the third Arab picked up his
small Ratchet and rained blows on the
head OF the lioness until she fell dead
at their feet.
The boys soon recovered from their
wounds, and for weeks afterwards all
the girls of the village wore little
pieces of lion meat in their hair as a
tribute to the prowess of the young

Big Liners Use 5000
Tons of Water on Trip

Few people would care to pay for a
liners drink for one voyage across the
Atlantic, even In water at penny per
gallon. Very little change would be
given out of a $500 note.
One of the big Atlantic liners has to
carry about 5000 tons of fresh water
for all purposes for single voyage
from Southampton TO New York. This
tonnage alone is about two and half
times the weight of Nelson's old flag
ship III. M. S. Victory, says London Tit
Bits.
A passenger ON one of these levia-
thans uses for drinking and domestic
purposes about five gallons day on
the voyage. And as the ships average
5000, passengers snd crew, 1t means
they have to carry. roughly, a weeks
water supply for small country town
in tanks. neatly slowed away along the
sides of the ship.
But it Is the giant boilers that have
the greatest thirst. On one voyage the
Berengaria used over 5000 tons of
water, or, at ten pounds TO the gallon
672,0OO gallons.-London Tit
Bits.

CHAPTER TX

Night brought small counsel TO the
ward OF the Gorgam Trust. Like
many others. much wiser than herself,
caught in the widespread web of the
purposes of Great Money-of the cor
porations and trusts and great legal
supermen which embody it-she
turned and returned all night long en-
deavoring TO understand her situation
how entirely she was caught. and
what she could possibly do next.
On the one side-if she still stayed
as she was-she thought she could see
the certainty Of Imprisonment for life
ON the ground Of insanity. And with
tia menace from whose shock she
had never yet recovered-was the ac-
cess of that man-that great brute,
her husband-to her house. her very
rooms.
On the other side, II she stayed, was
the other man whom she did not know
but who was obviously Interested.
bringing against her the charge Of
murder.
II ISL true. II ISL true. hHOW
it :" said the new Adelaide Rutherford,
tossing in her great bed.
But that she knew herself that this
charge against her was not true did
not answer the fear lodged in her
mind. She might possibly have been
now that she reviewed the situation
IAN unconscious accomplice in plot
of murder. She did not think so. But
that she was an accomplish in some
plot--not unlikely crlminal-she now
felt sure; and she felt confident 1t
might very possibly be charged and
that a jury might not impossibly be
convinced upon the evidence that
there had been murder.
In any case the situation was not a
matter of weeks or months. 1t was
closing about her lmmediately--if she
stayed in the midst of the purposes
and counter-purposes which were COM
ng together about this great fortune.
She may have been unnecessarily |
panic stricken. Possibly a woman of
irmer nerves would have reasoned OR
lcted differently; but Tor the ward Of !

Oldest Artificial Leg
Found in Tomb at Cdpua

The oldest artificial leg in existence
Is that In the museum of the Royal
College of Surgeons of England. 1t
was found in tomb at Capua, and
is, of course, of Roman origin.
This artificial member accurately
represents the form Of the human leg.
1t is made with pieces of thin bronze,
fastened by bronze nails to a wooden
core. Two iron bars. having holes at
their free ends, are attached to the
upper extremity Of the bronze; u
quadilateral piece of iron found near
the position of the foot is thought to
have given strength to 1t. There Is
no trace Of the foot, and the wooden
core had nearly crumbled away. The
skeleton had It's waist surrounded by
belt of sheet bronze edged with
small rivets, probably used to fasten
a leather lining. Three painted vases
lay at the feet of the skeleton. The
vases belong to rather advanced
period In the decline of art, about
800 B. C.

CHAPTER K

Matters moved swiftly now- they
must. as the mistress of the Gorgam
Trust could see. That she could her
self slip away from the fast-arising
crisis she could have now less and
less expectation. A choice between the
two dangerous paths might be pos
sible-but the third way, of entire es-
cape from both dangers, which she
would have preferred, was clearly to
be very difficult-in fact frankly to be
eliminated during the next dag.
She was scarcely up and dressed
that next morning when she saw again
with a little start. and 1t must be
admitted, curiously enough, still with
relief and expectation, a figure she
could not fail TO recognize--the young
man who but two nights before had
accused her of murder, and with him,
il appeared, was Rags, who was out
with his usual independence, search
ing for adventure on his morning run
in the great park The young man
seemed to be fastening something I'M
der the collar of the dog, and he
seemed to know that she was looking
at him as he did It.
When the dog was In the house
again, his owner felt beneath his col

He could even come. 1t said. at any
time she would indicate 1t to be safe,

CHAPTER VIII

D.
The point of view is so important In
our life--especially the idea that you
yourself hold of yourself. This being
held In trust--a prisoner sentenced to
an indefinite term of solitary luxury
was one thing-a very weary thing
indeed but on the other hand how
| different, and how much more sinister

ties and unknown purposes of Sixty

doubt If so, some one must have Sc

one was not far to seek. This man
who had just left her was one person
Interested, quite obviously-and Jas

certain now of what she had so long
suspected, that no appeal was possible
to him.
She had In ract very little idea
where she could turn next, when on
another evening not long afterward,
she observed the peculiar actions of
her dog, standing at the outside door
of the empty study on the second floor
again. When she saw this, with
curious mixture of fear and adven-
turousness she snapped ON the light
again and opened the heavy door. II
was a surprise, and yet not entirely a
surprise, to find there. the unknown
young man of the former evening-the
tall, quite handsome man with pleas

Why Pay
the Penalty OF
Lying Awake?

fANY people spend hours at
Nl night, restlessly tossing from
side to side, waiting for sleep. All
because they drink coffee with their
evening meal.
If the caffeine in coffee irritates
your nervous system and keeps you
awake when you should be asleep,
recuperating your energies, why not
stop coffee and drink Postum?
Postum is a pure cereal beverage,
absolutely free from caffeine or any
thing that can disturb health and COM
fort. Many prefer Postum for its de-
ightful aroma and flavor.
If you want to know the truth,
change to Postum for month or SO,
and see how much better you will
sleep and feel.
