His breath was coming in short gasps.
He bent to the oars with all his reso-

reach out TO him. the forests parted,

the boat aground.
Lees brain seemed preternaturally
acute. In that moment he did not for
get the pack. but, snatching it from
the boat, leaped ashore. and. running
some fifty yards, placed ii carefully in
the brush at the base of a tall pine.
He ran back, picked up the girl, and,
carrying her in his arms, began to
make his way into the thick of the
forest.
And all the while he ran. he was
weighing everything. The Free Trad
ers would not know that he was
wounded, they would certainly aban-
don the pursuit as hopeless; he must
carry the girl a mile into the forest,
where the light of their fire would not
betray them, returning for the pack in

and seemed momentarily endowed
with some extraordinary vitality, but
there was numbness in his side
which seemed to be spreading upward.
He had no idea how serious the
wound was; everything that was him

the last phase of his task, so that, If
he died. the girl should at least come
back to consciousness in the forest
and not in Railways hands.
He struggled on, felt himself weak

down the girl in order TO draw breath. |

with hair parted in the back and

SO long as there are bobbed ha ired
women there will be women whose
hair is growing ont again. Some
women really do miss their old ia sh-
ioned long locks. and some long for
change. Besides. having your one
time hobbed hair growing out again
, gives an interesting topic of conver-
sation. And so it happens that there
is 4 third group of women who must

Besides the bobbed and the long haired

who require quite a different type OF
hairdressing from either of the other
two types. Interestingly enough, some
of the ways of taking care of these
awkward locks have proved to be so
attractive that some women continue
TO have their hair kept at the awk

soft and light in weight. il is often
possible TO roll il simply al the back.

Slammins the Door.

WHY is it that a door. opened
nearly 10 the limit. will close
where there is a draft or wind
through the opening? Certainly the
wind does not get behind the door
and shove it. for the draft is through
the opening.
The expla ma ton lies in a funda-
mental principle of moving fluids. a nd
| is the "a me principle that makes
base ball curve. Whenever there is
current in the air the sidewise pres
sure is least in that current. so when
the wind blows through the opening
/ 10 door the pressure on that side Of
the door Is decreased. and consequent
Iy the pressure on the other side
starts slowly TO move the door max
Ing 1t go faster. till the door swings
into the draft itself. When il does
this. of course, the draft helps it
| along.
When a ball is rotated in the air il
carries around with ii good deal Of
| air sticking" 10 the sides. This. then
| is the same thing as So wing that a
/ current of air is flowing around the
| ball in the direction of rotation. Now.
| If wind blows against that ball it
| is easy to see that the little rotating
current will be with the wind on one
| side and against IL on the other: thus
/ on one side the velocity of the air
| diminished. The greater pressure on
/ the slow side then shoves the ball
! against the low pressure on the fast
side. Now, throwing a ball in the air
| is the same as making wind blow
! against it: 50. if ball be thrown and
rotated at the same time. it will
| necessarily curve.

Shingled " men have rid themselves.
Meantim there seems to he re-
newed interest in elaborate head
dresses which conceivably might
cause more confusion than the humble
hairpin and might weigh more heavily
on the head than long tresses.
This Spring there have been several
headdress balls abroad. A Russia n
princess, Stephanie Dolgorouski. gave
such a party recently in London. The
Russian princess, we are told, wore
Kokoshnik that had long been in her
family 1t was richly jeweled and
looked very barbaric. Every one knew
that it was the real thing in Russian
headdresses. There was the usual
awarding Of prizes TO the women who
in the estimation of the judges wore
the most original and attractive head
dresses.
At Monte Carlo and other resorts
this Spring women of leisure and
wealth have amused themselves wear
ing fanciTul and interesting head
dress. Persia, India. ancient Egypt.
China. Venice of the Renaissance
period have all been favorite sources
for the charming headdresses women
have worn. One of Persian inspira-
ton was of white lace. fitting closely
about the brow and under the chin

with silver nail heads and pearls. Al

dresses display imitation pearls. which
are still in high favor.
Many of the new headdresses of a
simpler nature take the form of ban

those to which we have become accuS-

Seeing Right Side Up.

THE lenses of the eye produce on
the retina an inverted image of
objects regarded. and the question Is
often asked. why do things appear
right side up when their images are
wrong side up
1t occurred to one investigator TO
try the effect of preventing the inveI
sion of images on the retina. This
was accomplished by means of an OPP
tiCal instrument that excluded from
the eyes all light except that which
passed through the instrument itself
The instrument was adjusted to the
eyes at 3 o'clock one afternoon. and
WAS not removed except at night
when the eyes were banda gedD until
noon the next day. At first. TO the
person whose eyes were thus treated
everything seemed topsy-turvy and
illusory. and the mind instinctively
tried TO imagine objects to be in the
position in which they ordinarily ap-
pear. After a time, however. the feel
ing of the unreality of what was seen
passed away. and the person expert
mented on even began to imagine
everything that lay outside his field
of vision TO be arranged in the same
way as what he saw. This goes to
show that habit and experience coun-
teract the effect of the inversion of
ina geS in the eyes.

1t was also discovered that. while
fewer women were left-handed, there
were also fewer women who were
strongly right handed; that people who
place the left thumb over the right
when folding the hands are inclined
toward left-handedness, and that, for
many individuals, the distinction be-
