The Binkussing of Colonel BurIey.
Solomon had been hit in the thigh
by a rifle bullet on his way to the
fort. He and Jack and other wounded
men were conveyed in boats and filters
to the hospital at Albany where Jack
remained until the leaves were gone.
Solomon recovered more quickly and
was with Llncoln's militia under Col
onel Brown when they joined John
sons Rangers It Ticonderoga and cut
off the supplies of the British army.
Later having got around the lines of
the enemy with this intelligence he had
a part in the fighting on Bemus Heights
and the Saltwater and saw the de-
feated British army under Burgoyne
marching eastward in disgrace to be
conveyed back to England.
Jack had recovered and was at home

at play with the Little Cricket and the
other children and when the young

Meskwaki Tribe Bought
Its DUN Land in IoUo

The Meskwaki originally were a
Wisconsin tribe, but now are living on
a reservation in Tama, Iowa, being the
only Indians in Iowa.
Some years ago the government
granted them a tract of land in Kansas.
They tried living on it, became dis
satisfied and returned to Iowa, where
they purchased their own land and
formed a colony.
The Meskwaki are a very primitive
tribe, but in the last ten years have
advanced to the stage where the brave
will go out and perform manual labor.
They figure quite largely in the can
ming industry, and are to be seen 60
ing to work in automobiles that are
the envy of the whites.
These Indians never were known to
send a visitor away hungry. The av-
erage Meskwaki will walk a mile and
visit two weeks at the home of a
friend. Squaws of the tribe are very
s~ubservient and patient, and never
complain when hubby drags home a
raft of company for dinner. Instead
they pour additional water In the soup
and perhaps roast another chicken or
two.
1t is not an i%nfrequent occurrence
for visitors to appear from out the
woods In every direction just as a
Meskwaki meal is being served, and If
there isn't enough to eat, Mrs. Indian
must prepare enough.-Detroit News

The Greatest Trait.

ne 0reateSr fafr.
Jack Irons used to say that no man
he had known had such an uncommon
mount of common sense as George
Washington. He wrote to his father !:
ut would seem that he must be in
communication with the all-seeing
mind. If he were to make a serious
blunder here our cause would fail.
The enemy tries in vain to fool him.
Their devices are as an open book
to Washington. They have fooled me
and Solomon and other officers but not
him. I had got quite a conceit of my
self in judging strategy, but now 1t is
all gone.
Zone day l was scouting along the
lines, a few miles from Philadelphia,
when 1 came upon a little, ragged, old
woman. She wished to go through the
lines into the country to buy flour.
The moment she spoke 1 recognized
her. 1t was old Lydia Darrah who
had done my washing for me the last
year of my stay in Philadelphia.

CHAPTER Xxx
The Ambush.

nC AittOhoita
Mrs. Scott and her little son were
made welcome in the home of John
Irons. Jack and Solomon were imme-
diately sent up the river and through
the bush to help the force at III. In
the middle and late days of July, they
reported to runner the southwark
progress of the British. They were
ahead Of Herkimer's regiment of New
York militia on August 8 when they
discovered the ambush-a misfortune
for which they we're in no way re-
sponsible. Herkimer and his force had
gone on without them to relieve Fort
Schuyler. The two scouts had ridden
post to join him. They were afoot
half a mile or so ahead of the COM
mander when Jack heard the call of
the swamp robin. He hurried toward
his friend. Solomon was in a thicket
Of tamaracks.
I'VE got to git back quick" said the
latter. II see sign o. an ambush"
They hurried to their command and
warned the general. He halted and
faced his men about and began a re-
treat. Jack and Solomon hurried out
ahead of them some 20 rods apart. In
five minutes Jack heard Solomon's call
Thoroughly alarmed, he ran
In the direction of the sound. In a
moment he met Solomon. The face of
the latter had that stern look which

10 minutes from the morning nap, but
a good shower and rub, or a cold
sponge bath will nut almost any fairly
healthy body in tune for a mid-sum-
mer day.
The next important item is proper
dressing. Although knit underwear Is
so reasonable in price and easy to
laupder points worthy Of considera-
tion) In the hottest weather a thin
dimity, crepe or nainsook teddy or
union suit will be found much more
comfortable, cooler, and does not cling
to the body like the knit-wear. In q
loose, comfortable, thin corset with a
slip which answers for both corset
cover and skirt, then a slipover dress
of cool, easy-to-wash material, with
properly shod feet-shoes with SUBJ
stantial heels-one will be able to
meet the day with every advantage Of
proper bodily care.
The meals for hot weather should
be prepared with the Idea of not over
taxing the stomach during the warm
days. If possible have the heavy meal
at night, when the workers of the fam
lily may rest in the cool of the day.
Cooling vegetables, cucumbers, toma-
toes, juicy fruits, custards, junkets,
frozen dishes will be found to be most
favored.
Fresh fish is easy Of digestion and
makes a good main dish, with a GU
cumber or tomato salad. With lemon
sherbet for dessert, and some small
cakes or cookies, one may feel that
the family has been properly fed.
Whole wheat bread, graham, rye or

today when Montague Noel Newton.
who yesterday testified that he had
joined in a conspiracy to extort a
huge sum from the potentate, re-
sumed the stand in the trial of Mr..
Robinson's suit against the Midland
Bank.
The whole affair was well arranged
in advance, Newton said, by Mr. AS
aide de camp Mrs. Robinson, with
the active assistance of a Mrs. Bevan,
who was her confidante, had previ-
ously suggested that the scene should
be enacted in Paris rather than in
London, where Mrs. Robinson first be-
came intimate with the prince, New
ton declared.
The witness told the court he had
received final instructions the night
before, and that early in the morning
he went to the hotel where, unchal-
enged he proceeded directly to the
princes suite, opened the door and,
assuming the role of Mrs. RobinSon's
husband. informed the potentate he
had gotten the evidence he want a."
He said Mrs. Robinson, carrying out
her role. attacked him, shouting: My
brute of a husband and that the
prince finally intervened. So great
was the interest in Newtons testi-
mony that a queue formed outside the
law courts shortly after midnight.
There were several women waiting in
the line. some of them engaged in

Two others, looking for the small

OF the same thief, however, reported
nothing missing. although one had
S400 in his coat pocket.
1t was after Armour had doffed his
coat and vest. in which the $4,000 was
contained in a wallet, that the crook
began operations. He dropped some
copper and silver coins on the floor
and asked aid in finding them. Mr..
Armour turned to get a mythical
small coin which he was told was in
little Granny between a partition
and the floor. While doing so, he is
convinced. the thief unpinned' the
vest pocket in which the wallet re-
posed and took the cash.
Suspect Leaves Hastily.
All that Mr.. Armour saw of the
thief was his foot. Later on Penn
sylvania avenue he saw a man who
wore clothing which resembled closely
that of the thief, and he started for
the man. "In 16 seconds" he told

1928 Maneuver Seen.
During the last campaign an effort
was made by the opponents of Presi-
dent Coolidge to fasten a certain
amount of responsibility on his
shoulders for the Teapot Dome
scandal. it being argued that he must
have learned at cabinet meetings of
the merits of the question and that
he should not have permitted any
action to be taken without protest,
especially because he had listened to
the debate on the subject in the
Senate. There are some differences
being drawn already in published re-
ports that Mr.. Dawes is reluctant to
get himself in similar position
wherein he might be attacked for
apparently acquiescing in the policies
of the Coolidge administration when,
in fact, his presence at the cabinet
table would not permit his participa-
ton in the decisions made there. 1t is
being suggested that Mr.. Dawes has
his eyes on the 1928 nomination and
wants to be free from involvement in
any controversies into which the
Coolidge administration may be
plunged in the next four years.
No such reason was, Of course, ad-
vanced to President Coolidge who
probably realizes that mere atten-
dance at a cabinet meeting doesn't
always mean familiarity with the
policies of an administration and that
there is a possible conflict between
the duties of. . presiding officer of the
Senate and sitting in the cabinet.
Temperament Considered.
There is also a certain amount OF
EN- mbarrassment in attending a cabi-
net meeting II one is of the tempera-
ment of Charles G.. Dawes. Mr.. Cool
idge is quiet man and by habit re-
ticent. Mr. Dawes is of the explosive
kind. He couldn't listen to a discus
sion such as must take place every
now and then in the cabinet about
subjects with which he is especially
familiar without straining at the
leash to say something. Mr. Dawes
has business interests. too, and so has
his family, which would not have to
be served if he were merely presid-
ing officer of the Senate, but there
might be complications for him If he
had to be an unofficial member of the
cabinet All in all it may be taker
for granted that President Coolidge
will not urge Mr.. Dawes to come tc
the cabinet table and that the prece.
dent started four years ago will be
abandoned.
