Dave heard the child drawing his feet across the floor, then suddenly whimpering like a thing that had been mortally hurt. He groped toward him, and at length his fingers found his shock of hair. He drew the boy slowly Into his arms; then very, very tight. . . . After all, they were orphans together. You will come with me, he said at length. I will see that you are provided for. The doctor will soon be here, or we will meet him on the way, and he will make the arrangements for the arrangements that have to be made, you know. They retraced their steps toward the town, meeting the doctor at the broken bridge. Dave exchanged a few words with him In low tones, and they passed on. Soon they were swinging again through the city streets. Even with the developments of the evening pressing heavily upon his mind Dave could not resist the temptation to stop and listen for a moment to bulletins being read through a megaphone. The kaiser has stripped off his British regalia, said the announcer. He says he will never again wear a British uniform.

Within a year the bones of many in that thoughtless crowd, bleaching on the fields of Flanders, showed how much they cared. Dave drove direct to the Hardy home.

If his plans had miscarried, if Dave had And here discovered the plot, well at length was Dave, engrossed in a very different matter. Conward followed them up the stairs. Irene and Dave chatted with the boy for a few moments, then Irene turned to some arrangements for his comfort and Dave started downstairs. In the passage he was met by Conward. What are you doing here? Dave demanded, as he felt his head beginning to swim in anger. Conward leered only the more offensively, and walked down the stairs beside him. At the foot he coolly lit another cigarette. He held the match before him and calmly watched it burn out. Then he extended it toward Dave. 'You remember our wager, Elden.

Dave did not press the trigger at once. He took a fierce delight in torturing the man who had wrecked his life even while he told himself he could not believe his boast. Now he watched the color fade from cheek; the eyes stand out in his face; the livid blotches more livid still ; the cigarette drop from his nerveless lips. You- are a brave man, Conward, he said, and there was the rasp of hate and contempt in his voice. You are a very brave man. Mrs. Hardy, sensing something wrong, came out from her sitting room. With a little cry she swooned away. Conward tried to speak, but words stuck in his throat With a dry tongue he licked his drier lips. Do you believe in hell, Conward?

NEW IN THE ANIMAL WORLD Astonished "Okapi Explorers, and Only a Few Specimens Hava . Ever Been Obtained. Some time before 1800, Stanley, the explorer, had word from tlie pigmy negroes of a new beast in the impenetrable depths of the virgin forest which borders the Semliki river in the Belgian Congo. The Wambatti natives described it as a species of donkey and called it Atti. From their further description, it seemed to be a hoofed animal of considerable size, which lived upon leaves. In 1899 Sir Harry Johnston himself saw the pigmies, who fully confirmed what Stanley had already told him, but added that the strange beast was striped like a zebra. In 1901 a Swedish officer, M. Karl Erikson, obtained a complete skin and two skulls, which he sent to Sir Harry Johnston, who then believed the beast to be of the giraffe tribe, previously found tn a fossil state in Greece. It was, however, proved conclusively that although of the giraffe family it was not the animal of ancient Greece, but a new beast altogether. It was subsequently given the name of okapi. No more than a dozen specimens of this wonderful beast have been se- cured. "GOD BLESS YOUS MEANING Expression of Solicitude That Can Be Traced Back to the Decline of Athens. The Greeks and Romans had their Gesundheit ! is Long life to you ! now verboten. But we still say Sante and God bless you! after a sneeze.
