Curious Instruments That Were Used
In the Middle Ages.
In an old tower in Nurewburg there
is a room set apart especially for the
i preservation of the curious instrn-
ments of torture used during the nn•
certain period historically referred to
as the middle ages. •
In that room you can see thumb,
screws of the most approved pattern
closely arranged along shelves filled
with "liar helmets" anis "bridles" for
goesiping women. One horrid relic,
called the "spikewheel," is a heavy
cylinder on one side of which stand
out two or more score of sharp iron
spikes. In days of old when an of-
fender bad been sentenced to undergo
a "rolling"- he was stripped naked and
firmly bound on a prank, face down. '
In this position the "spike wheel" was
`slowly dragged np and down his back,
the number of times depending upon •
the gravity of the grime and the word-
ing of the sentence. •,
In several instances the poor victimfil
were prodded ftp full of holes that they
'died before they could be removed i
?row the plank. When death was in-
tended -the number of "roue" was not I'
specifle(1, but double length spikes; 1
wan a aasb (v-) to represent norm
and body. The Phoenicians adopted
this letter, and from them we get our
V by loss of the dash, leaving only
the two ;little horns of thertginal pic-
ture. This snake is still Vommon in
Egypt and is probably the one men-
tioned in Genesis xiixe-17, "Dan shall
be a serpent by the way, an adder in
the path, that Meth the horse heels, so
that his rider :shall fall backward."
Travelers tell us that it is still addict-
ed to this unpleasant habit.
Wet Weather and' Camels.
Camels are very sensitive to mots•
tare. in the region of tropical rains
they are usually absent, and if they
come into such with caravans the re-
sults of the rainy season are greatly
feared. The great h,ulnid(ty of the air.
explains the absence of the camel from
the northern slopes of the Atlas and
from 'aU wooded Abyssinia. This
sensitiveness expresses, itself in the
character pf different races. The fin-
est, most noble: looking camels, with
§hort silk -like hair, ttrp .found in the
interlot of deserts, as in tit@.. 'aureg
region in north Africa, and they can-
not be used for journeys to moist re-

The largest butterfly known to nat-

Story of a Young Man, a Girl and

"For downright ehuckleheaded mean-
ness." said King, "ibis town has every-
thing in central New York pushed off
the map,"
"O -oh! Is that so -o?" said Zeb Wil-
liams, the town constable.
"I -I suppose you heard what I just
said?" stammered the youth as he col-
lided at the store door with a pretty
girl, "1 fear that in my haste I was
too general, 1 didn't mean to include
the whole town."
"You needn't explain," she said
quickly. "I know how they treat pec•
pie in automobiles."
King murmured something about its
being of no consequence and had start-
ed toward his car when, to his surprise,
she followed. "If you want to go to
South Johnsville," she said, with
friendly assurance, "I'll . show you
how."
"Somehow or other I've a notion you
live in that big brick house back in the
trees by the four corners. Get in and
I can set you down at your door, and
you at the same• time can point out

Then the girl surprised him' again.
She accepted the invitation.
In the seat beside him, she showed
intelligent interest in his valves and
levers, and the conver:elrtion luring the
brief but swift run t4. th'`.11 ;a'^±

"Let me take you, n'round the square

"I should just love to," she replied,

locked about his wrists.
Hampered as be was. King still
fought. with elbows. with shoulders.
with knees, with feet -fought as prim•
Rive man might have battled blind
with rage against overwhelming odds
-while the body of the car lurched on
its excellent springs as if traveling
over a hummocky road. But the three
villagers were gradually crushing him
him loth submission 'and in a few sec-
onds more be must have yielded, a
breathless and humiliated captive,
when help came from an unexpected
quarter. Fully occupied with the
struggle, none of the four 'Men noticed
that the silent spectator bad advanced
beside the car. She leaned forward,
avoiding with difficulty their thrashing•
bodies. and suddenly from the throb-
bing motor shot a series of those vio-
lent, unmuf3led explosions so alarming
to uninitiated ears. •
The effect upon Zeb Williams and
his two panting aids was instanta-
neous.. With smothered ejaculations
they simultaneously let go the prisoner
andArilightened up to gaze in .alarm
i! the bobde/S.1p0tor which seemed on
the point of tearing itself to pieces.
Then, before ;they had a chance to re•
cover their wits, the car started;for-
ward with a jolt that threw all, three
over the mud guards into the road.
On being released King also had
started to rise, „but the jerk of the car
only sent him sprawling back auto the
seat next the driver's. There his right
shoulder came in contact with a gray
clad arm stretched put to the steering.

along at a speed that: quickly placed

assistants kept up the ho(ieless pure
suis. Then a bend in the road hid
thein from sight, and Piing saw them
no more. „
"And you let think I was giving
yet your first lessons," said King,
speaking for the first time.
The girl deftly brought the machine
to half speed before she replied, and
then she did not answer his implied
question. "We ought .to reach. South
Johnsville in fifteen or twenty min-
utes," she announced. "Whose house
there shall I take you to?" ' -
"Oh, look here," exclaimed the'
youngman, allat once• realizing his

""vQuick. boys! I've got. him! Here,

King made a hard fight and with

opponent. Re -enforcements, however,
deprived him of his advantage,for two.
brawny young farmezrs, arriving on the
run; tore his grip loose, and Zeb, step-
ping to the ground and throwing back
his coat to reveal a shining metal
badge attached to his left suspender,
announced: - •
"I hereby arrest ye in the name of
the law fer exceedin' the speed limit."
"Thought ye'd show off before the
squire's darter, didn't ye?" taunted.
one of the youths who had rescued the
constable. "When her pap comes back
ye'll have a chance 'to tell him all.
about it. He's justice of the peace, he
is; and he's death on city scorchers."
"The squire won't be ter home till
tomorrer," 'announced Zeb Williams.
"But, with the help of these here
bracelets, Y guess we kin take good
care of ye. Hey, boys?" •
As he spoke he drew from his pocket
a huge pair 'of antiquated iron hand-
cuffs.
"011, see here," protested King. "you
don't have to do that. I'm ready to
pay my fine, but you have noright to
put me in handcuffs."
"Guess I haven't been constable 'of
this town fer twenty years without
knowin' my rights." retorted Williams.
'•Hold him tight, boys."
Compared with the struggle that
then ensued the previous bout between
King and the constable was a mere
sparring match, for as Williams ad-
vanced with the handcuffs extended
King glimpsed a slim figure in a long
gray .coat emerging from the house,
and the thought of appearing ridicu-
lous in her eyes lent him the strength
of two. But his assailants were three.

he offered in connection with this
visit."
"Of course I'm Emily Verone," she

For a moment King could think of
no defense. But his crestfallen ex-
pression and the incongruously belp-
less figure he made, sitting disheveled
and handcuffed by ber side, dispelled
Miss Verone's swift April anger more
effectually than anything he could,

Suddenly she laughed aloud. "Won't
