First Use of Shrapnel

The shrapnel shell was invented in
1874 by Lieut.. Henry Shrapnel, r. A.,
and was originally called "the spheri-
cal case shot" After considerable de-
lay this projectile was adopted by the
British government and was appar-
emily first used against the French
at the Battle of Rolica, in 1903. In
1852 the British army adopted the
name "shrapnel' in honor of its In.
ventor. There have been some changes
in shrapnel but the principle is the
same.

CHAPTER vi

Celia was at home. 1t made every
thing different. jamie was seldom al
lowed to forget that she was merely
the plain little sister of the prettiest
girl in town. Not that Celia was IN
kind to JAMIE. She was, on the con-
trary, very sweet and affectionate.
"Janie is devoted to that playground"
she would say in the presence of a
caller. "She's such busy brown little
bee. She makes me feel like butter
fly" Bees, of course, are dull little
creatures and butterflies are enchant-
ing. Celia was belle. Celia was what
gallant elderly gentlemen called
toast" Celia, in short, was the pref
tiest girl in town.
Just at first, Celia paid little atten-
ton to Hugh. jamie wondered at her
lack of appreciation. She wanted her
to admire him-from safe and disin-
terested distance.
"Isn't he nice?" she asked one eve
ming. She was watching Celia dress in
her airy front bedroom upstairs, all
lilac and cream and rose, as fresh and
as dainty as Celia herself.
"He looks healthy" Celia was alb
sorbed in the pretty task of brushing
her silky hair.
II think he's nice-looking." JAMES
cheeks were unusually pink. sand
he's getting along so well. Father
says Hugh is born DOCTOR"
'I've had enough of doctorsl"
Celia's voice was almost petulant.
"Why Celia Ballard!" JAMES, eyes
were blazing.
"Father is different, Of course"
had to be approved of-even by brown
little jamie. But the atmosphere de-
presses me so, sickness and suffering
and pain. You wouldn't understand,
jamie dear. You don't mind such
things. I'm so absurdly sensitive"
From which jamie gathered, with a
lifting Of her spirits, that Celia had
no ambition to be Doctors wife.
The feeling of happiness vanished,
however, when she saw him standing
in the hall late that afternoon watch
ing Celia walk down the stairs. Celia
wore a frock Of sheer white swiss
with tight bodice and full ankle
length skirt. At her waist was small
corsage of lilies-of-the-valley tied with
loops of green ribbon. jamie saw the
admiring expression in Hugh's brown
eyes, heard his quick indrawn breath.
'sThat's the way l thought of you"
he said softly. "Lilies-of-the-valley."
jamie didn't wait to hear any more.
She rushed out through the kitchen,
up the back stairs, along the second
floor hall and up to her own quiet
room. 1t was peaceful haven. COM
forting and familiar. She flung her
self face down on the bed and cried
little and kicked at the Counterpart
with her toes. Then she felt better.

Named St. Lawrence River

The st. Lawrence river received its
name from the fact that Jacques Car
tier christened one of the little bays
on the north shore of the gulf, st.
Lawrence. He entered the bay on the
tenth of August, 1885. 1t was the day
Of the Feast of st. Lawrence. The
name spread gradually to the whole
gulf and river st. Lawrence was a
deacon of the early Christian church
who was put to death by order of the
Roman Emperor Valorian. 1t is said
that when he was ordered to hand
over the church's money, he went
around and gathered together all the
poor among whom he had been in the
habit of dividing 1t. He was buried

CHAPTER v

Aunt Lucy was having a garden
party at "Sportsman's Hail." The
party was not confined exclusively to
the garden, however. In fact, no one
visited the gardens at all unless led
there by Uncle Frank to admire his
peacocks, his goldfish or his roses.
Uncle Frank boosted that each bud on
the luxuriant bushes cost him, all
things considered, exactly one dollar
apiece.
He was square thick-set man with
a rudy complexion, twenty years old
er than Aunt Lucy, who had pure
white hair, young brown eyes and a
beautiful figure. All the Billiards.
turned gray early in life. Aunt Lucy
had been clever enough not to tamper
with nature. She had the appearance
OF being constantly dressed and wigged
for costume party. You liked to look
at Aunt Lucy.
Uncle Frank, on the contrary, ap-
peared always to be dressed for tus-
sic with one of his horses. He called
himself gentleman farmer" Great
uncle Charlie contended that the title
was inaccurate. Uncle Frank Grove, he
said, was neither a gentleman nor
farmer. Great-uncle Charlie was per-
mitted to say such things merely be-
cause nobody on earth could stop him.
Great-uncle Charlie sat in rustic
chair beneath copper-beech tree on
the rolling front lawn. Aunt Lucy,
seated with group of her guests
under neighboring copper beach, at
intervals cast an anxious eye in his
direction. She had hoped that he
wouldn't be present. There was never
any telling what the dreadful old man
might do or say. Great-uncle Charlie
was aware of her anxiety. 1t helped
him to endure the boredom of what he
considered very stupid party.
The armchair was placed conven-
iently near the punch bowl. Merely
by reaching out his arm JEFF was able
to refill Great-uncle Charles glass.
JEFF had been borrowed for the occa-
sion. Aunt Lucy borrowed JEFF on all
state occasions. She apparently felt
that a family servant added atmos-
phere even though he was not, strict
ly speaking, attached to her own
menage.

1t made everything different, Celia
being at home. Muriel invited them
out for tea, Celia and jamie and Hugh.
This time Hugh didn't suggest that
they slip away up into the woods He
sat on the lawn and looked at Celia in
her -brimmed lilac hat. JAMIE sat
on the grass hugging her knees in her
arms as silent as small bronze
statue. Muriel smoked cigarettes and
looked decidedly bored. Celia talked
about herself and had a beautiful
time.
Tom McAllister Joined them pres
emily. He had been talking legal af-
fairs with Uncle Frank. Tom drew
up wicker chair and he, too, looked
at Celia in her wide brimmed lilac hat.
Hugh, occasionally, made an effort to
include jamie and Muriel in the con-
versation. Tom looked at Celia, q
quizzical smile twisting the left corner
Of his mouth. 1t was a smile which
seemed to say, II am not deceived by
your poses but l think you are beauti.
full" Tom always looked at Celia
that way.
Tom had an Irish mother and q
Scotch father. 1t was the Irish in him,
Muriel said, which worshiped Celia's
beauty. The canny Scotch part of
him kept him from being deceived.
You wondered which was stronger.
Perhaps Tom wondered, too.
1t was amazing, jamie thought, how
Celia commanded attention. She never
said anything witty or beautiful or
wise. You expected her to, when she
sat with her hands linked loosely in
her lap, her eyes dreaming off into the
distance. Perhaps that was the rea-
son. You waited for a glimpse of the
hidden loneliness which Celia prom
ised. She had gift for ensnaring the
imagination. 1t worked out very we'll.
Muriel, her graceful figure meshed
in web of knitted silk, talked In
dolently of recent trip to Japan.
"There was a japanese man at our
hotel,' Celia interrupted. HE called

Horatius stopped, with its customary
protest, in front of the old brick
house. jamie saw a squirt Of light in
the living room and then through the
buff-tinted blinds a soft and flicker
ing glow. Mother must have callers.
But why was she lighting the candles?
1t seemed little odd.
jamie paused to smooth her hair in
the mirror above the card-tray table.
Hugh had halted at the living room
door and seemed rooted to the spot.
jamie walked to his side, looked in
through the portieres and buried her
fondest dreams.
Celia, In misty white, sat at the
piano, her chin little raised to show
the long lovely curve of her throat.
The candle-light made radiance
about her head and gave her skin the
translucent quality Of thin creamy
porcelain. She appeared to be wrapped
in reveries and totally unconscious of
observing eyes.
Hugh's tribute to the picture was
almost soundless, quick indrawn
breath. But JAMIE heard it. Celia, as
though she had heard it, too, turned
with pretty start Of surprise. Her
violet eyes lost, for a moment, their
dreaming expression. Her lips curved
in gentle welcoming smile.
JAMIE" she murmured In a voice
like plucked silver harp-strings. tits

jamie drew long deep breath and
calamity lifted her chin.

down from the shadows into the daz-

What was he thinking? She glanced
up at him shyly, her lashes misted
with tears. He was looking at her
hand.
"Janie Ballard!' he said. You've

softly, single quivering harp string.
That was the way she did it, jamie
thought. She made you feel that the
almond trees in far Japan had flow
cred for the sole purpose of giving
Celia pretty name. She saw the
flash of interest in Hugh's brown eyes
and wished she had never been born.

ing, leaned against the massive trunk,
her rosy skirt blowing back from her
graceful legs. Muriel, ordinarily, was
not pretty, though she had Aunt Lucy's
beautiful figure and warm brown
eyes. Her features were heavy. But
her wide square mouth had a GER
tain charm and she dressed in exquisite
taste. Today she looked almost pretty
as she leaned against the tree talking
with unaccustomed vivacity to Tom
McAllister, only a little taller than
she.

jamie said gravely. "Tom wouldn't
know Muriel was alive If Celia were
here" Her eyes strWyed down over
the lawn to the road along the river.
Hugh had promised to come
Muriel presently strolled by with
Tom McAllister.
"We're going in to dance" Muriel
said in her careful finishing-school
voice.
Come along, Jamie" Tom added
-
pleasantly.
''No thank you, Tom" 1t was more
pleasant to watch the road dappled
over with shadows.
"When do you expect Cellar"
A shade of annoyance slipped across
Muriers face. She wasn't pretty now.
She was merely thin, rather sallow
girl with a flair for the right sort of
clothes.
"Soon," jamie answered. almost
any day."
Almost any dayl JAMES, eyes re-
turned to the road along the river, as
Muriel and Tom strolled on toward
the house. It seemed doubly i'm
portant, now. that Hugh should keep
his promise. Celia spoiled things for
everybody. Once she, too, had be-
lieved the. Celia myths. That was
long time ago.
Whatever has happened to JAMIE?
Great-uncle Charlie glanced down at
his favorite grandniece, brown as
beech-nut in her creamy embroidered
frock. She sat very still, with a sort
of a listening look, her eyes on the
road from town. A ray of light pricked
through the mist of questions In Great
uncle Charles head.
"What time Is it, Uncle Charlie?"
The old man consulted a ponderous
watch.
Half past four"
Half past fourl If something had

And then she heard it, the clatter

She bathed her eyes and smoothed her
hair and began to dress for supper.
At supper, Hugh talked very little.
He kept looking at Celia all white and
creamy and pink with her honey-col-
ored head set like flower on the
slender stem of her throat. Celia,
also, talked very little. She appeared
to be wrapped in reveries. Her long
dashed violet eyes seemed to be gazing
upon some hidden loveliness beyond
the restricted vision of ordinary NOR
tails.
