Sunshine warmed the pale hair to honey color and dusted freckles, tine as pollen, over a skin which had the texture and flush of petals. The face was attractive, yes. but too decided, reflected the Frenchman. The regularity of feature and determined sweep of the Jaw left nothing to the I magi nation. He was silent as he thought of another woman, the last! She had been very slender, pale, a little sad. she’d had the most beautiful hands in the world. Unfortunately she'd also had a husband with considerable influence in the senate! That was why Caston de Vries, boulevnrdier at heart. Parisian to the last cell of a sophisticated brain, was an exile in Fea. ' "Me. I hate the colonies!” he told himself for the thousandth time.

They have always believed that, In their greatest danger, a stranger would be their salvaton. It la a legend burled as deep in history as their religion, or their Incredible independence—you know the Riffs have never been conquered.” "I hope they never will be.” Interrupted the girl. "You are bent on crushing the romance out of life with the flatiron you call civtHxatton.” A flush crept under the golden dusted akin and De Vries was sure there were metal glints below the surface of the gold-green eyes. “If <mly one could rouse her Into enthusiasm over something more Interesting than these sucre natives in the hills." he reflected, while be continued his story. 'The Riffs are hard pressed enough to betray anything and anybody, except this one conviction. If there Is really some European directing matters, he’s safe from our spies. No doubt, they also believe him superhuman. Dear lady, we are not fighting a handful of Berbers, as the newspapers would make you believe. We are fighting a country—the land itself —where each rock is hostile to us. where each ravine Is honeycombed with snipers’ caves.

It fw simply an upright post with a crossbar at the top that turns on a pivot. Ode end of this crossbar Is flat; to thel other end to attached a bag of sand. : The horseman rides at the post endeavoring to strike the fiat end the crossbar with a lance and pass on ; before the bag of sand can swing , around and strike him on the bhrk.

If the melon is whole, and there are no abrasions in the skin, the coating covers the hard shell so that no air or moisture can get to the inner absorptive layers of the melon. , Another recipe Is to take 1 part of gluten, mix it with parts of glycerin and heat it at about 248 degrees F. A slimy mass will be secured which is not only waterproof, but also water-repelling. i Making Use of Old Magazines ARCTIC explorers put newspapers between their blankets because there is no better insulation against bitter cold and wind than paper. We can apply the same principle in our homes by using old magazines under a thin pad or .mattress which alone is not sufficient to keep out the cold.

Real Democracy In the minds of many people, de-mo-racy rests upon the colossal untruth that “one man is as good as another." so that a large number are more likely to be right than a small number. In reality democracy rests upon the übiquitous fact that all men are directly interested in securing good government, while its successes have often been due to its practical recognition of the truth that some men are born to lead and others te follow.—John Fiske. ** As iniatures” It is usually thought that the dert ration of miniature is from ths Latin minimum (smallest), but this is not so.
