northwest where he had kept his machine
and blacksmith shop at least from 1850. 1t
is probable that McClellands shops adjoined
this wall on the north, and that the fact Of
its being close to the canal inducement
for his moving here
What the writer has said regarding the old
canal at this point is substantially what James
Croggon, an eyewitness, wrote many years
ago, saying:
In the early part Of the last century the
Tiber Greek. which was under the name of
the Washington Canal, was being walled but
the work had not then reached the line of
Eleventh street. At this point little stream
flowed into it from the north, forming a small
basin. The north shore was marshy and the
tides and rains made its lines indefinite, some
times throwing them above street. In 1886,
when the work was nearly completed to
Twelfth street, it was opened from that point
to the Eastern Branch. In that year the canal
company was authorized to construct a basin
between Tenth and Twelfth streets, the site
Of which is now occupied by the wholesale
Evening star., 1932-01-31

and cesspools and culverts constructed to re-
ceive the sediment from the streets, thus pre-
venting the canal from filling up. Basins were
also built at different points, one of these being
between Tenth and Twelfth streets, and as the
writer looked at the brickwork recently
covered it occurred to him that this was prob
ably the eastern end Of the basin wall at this
point.
On the evening following the discovery Of
this wall descendant of the Inge family
called the writer on the phone and suggested
that the wall may have been part of pow
der magazine, since she had heard her mother
speak of one being in that vicinity during the
War Of 1872. But the writer assured her that
this spot was covered with water at that time,
and would not have been a desirable place at
all in which to place such building.
A S near as can be approximated, this wall
u was close to the site of John McClellands
IRON foundry to which he moved during the
Civil War period frcm Tenth and E streets

of the basin what was familiarly known as the
Twelfth street wharf. A lumber yard was
established on the west of the basin, extending
to Twelfth street by Messrs King and Langley,
which in after years conducted by Ulysses
Ward for long time. With the consumption
of wood for fuel nearby timber came in de-
mand. furnishing employment to boat and

A LOT of you boys and girls who are spend
ing the Summer in the country can help
the wild birds great deal by raising ring-neck
pheasants. Some States give the eggs free to
qualified persons who will hatch them, raise
the young and liberate them. So here you can
have some splendid pets during the Summer
and release them in the fields before school
starts next Fall Write your game commits
sioner about it,
To hatch pheasants' eggs you will need q
broody bantam very light weight, standard
size hen. Probably you can borrow one from
nearby farm. The nest box ought to be about
one foot square and high, with peat moss or
shavings on the bottom. Be sure that the hen
can have plenty of fresh air, but have no holes
over half an inch either way or the little birds
will escape.
Prepare the nest and test the hen for broodi-
ness for two days. Slide the olive-shaped eggs
under her carefully. Moisten with warm water
three times a week and care for the hen twice
day. Turn the pheasant eggs with your hand
twice day and cool them while the hen Is
eating her cracked corn, exercising and having
drink She should be busted with lice-powder
once a week during the first two weeks.
1t takes ringneck eggs about % days to hatch.
Just as soon as you find the eggs are pipped
the shell crackedD you should return the hen
to the nest carefully and close the cover. Leave
her strictly alone for 4 hours. Then If the
weather is fine the brood is taken to a coop with
the bantam for the first feed This is the same
baby chick starter that is fed to young wild
ducks, as well as to ordinary chicken. Mix it
crumbly-wet with water or milk and give the
pheasants just what they will eat up in few
minutes Take away all uneaten food and mix
the mash fresh for each meal Open the front
door of the coop when the birds are 10 days
to two weeks old. If you wish the bantam can
go out with them. At any rate the pheasants
are ready to be liberated in the fields when
they are three months old

Personal Names.

It is likely that originally all names had
some special meaning. An early method
of giving names was from an event taking
place at the time of birth or from some
characteristic shown a little later.
The custom of using surnames. was in
troduced by the Normans about the tenth
century. Until then there existed no COM
mon names by which members of family
were known Then, the nobility began naming
themselves for their estates This was done
for several centuries.

The four men heard him. AS Bill got
breath of pure air and opened his eyes again,
his heart chilled with fear. For there, not
q dozen yards from him down the trail, were

them lay safety and in front of him was
deadly danger, now almost upon him.
He turned and ran along the TRAIL which
was fairly level for short distance at this
point. Shouting angrily, the four men pur-
sued. Then Bill, throwing up arm to
protect his face dashed into the heart of the
fire.

CONVINCED now that something was very
~ much wrong, Bill moved stealthily along
the trail. The voices grew louder. He rounded
bend, and came upon sight that brought
him up short Just ahead of him, in clear
ing just off the trail, were four men, and at
first Bill thought that they were trying to
put out small fire that burning in the
underbrush Then he suddenly realized, with
a gasp of horror that they were not trying
to extinguiSh the blaze. but were spreading
It'll One man, moving to point dozen feet
from where the blaze was licking at the dry
twigs and leaves the ground was pouring
gasoline or some liquid from battered can
The significance of the scene burst upon
Bill. This Summer, and the year before, there
had been rumorS of vagrant men who trav-
eled about the mountains, starting fires so that
they might be employed to fight them The
preceding Summer the patrols had caught one
man suspected of being a firebug, but had been
unable to secure evidence against him. Yet
they were sure that he and probably Others
were guilty of the crime The realization that
they were causing great loss of property and
sometimes, of life. did not deter these men,
who were desperate enough to do anything
for money
Now Bill had stumbled upon group of
them in the very act of starting a fire. As
he gazed at them, his mind told him what
was about to happen. The nre would spread
rapidly In these tinder-lke woods. Far above,
Don, keeping watch for blazes would spot the
smoke, and phone a report of the fire to the
ranger station. A patrol would Immediately
set out to fight it, and would probably recruit
men in the nearest village to help in the bat
tie. These men who had started the blaze
would be there to get the jobs, and later to
collect the money that the State paid for this
work.
ESPERATEI.Y Bill thought of what he
- could do The fire had already made rapid
headway in the few moments that he had
been watching He could not possibly put 1t
out single handed Moreover he realized that
these men, caught at their crime, would be
desperate. A long prison sentence followed
conviction for incendiarsm. If Bill showed
himself, they would simply make sure that he
never lived to tell his story. Later the fire
crew would discover boys body in the burned
over woods and nobody would know that he
had not fallen victim to the flames.
The fire. now mounting to the proportions
of real conflagration, had spread across the
trail, and was rapidly moving up the side OF
the mountain Bill realized. with a gasp OF
fear that it was between him and Don's look
out station, the goal of his journey. At the
same time he realized that the four men,
driven back by the heat of the flames, were
now III the woods just to the left OF him. ana
moving rapidly toward the trail.
They must never find him here! Bill look
ing around for a place of concealment, was
suddenly enveloped in a cloud of smoke and
sparks carried to him by a sudden shift of
