Paper, it is generally believed, was
invented in Chine. As for the *wheat
variety of wall paper, that commonly
spoken of as scenic, Japan, Persia awl
Egypt all claim it, elthough the fleet
known designs were of Chinese
scenes, according to Kate Sanborn,
who has written an Interesting ac-
count or "Old Time Wall Papers,"
which elle accompanies with illustra-
tions of many old papers of which she
bits beim able to get photographs.
Chinese papers, she learned, were Ira -
ported into France by Dutch traders,
as early as the end of the szeventeenth
century. These did not come in rolls,
as our wall papers come to -day, but
In sheets. By the middle of the
eighteenth century, possibly a few
years later, it became the custom to
paper whole rooms with this Chinese
paper, which came in sheets racasur-
ing perhaps 10 feet one way and about
Lille feet the other.
"Some of the more elaborate kinds
wore printed by hand; others were
printed from blocks," writes Miss Pan -
born. "These papers, used for walls,
for hanging and for screens, were
called 'pagoda papers,' and were deco-
rated with flowers, symbolic animals
and human figures. . .
, "The great 'development of the home
manufacture of wall papers, at the be-
ginning of the nineteenth century, put
an end to the Importation from China.
The English were probably the first
importers ofethese highly decorative
Chinese papers and quickly imitated
them by printing the papers' These
'papiers Auglate' soon became known
on the continent, and the French were
also at work as rivals; in their manu-
facture and use. . One expert
tells us that the early English papers
were erten designed after India cot-
, toes in large bold patterns."
It is said that the earliest reference
to wall paper in England is found in
an bayentory of a monastery taken
during the reign of King Henry
--ectiareber nangings of printed pa-
pers," it was called. There are also
in existence wall papers used during
the time of Charles II.
Catered pictured papers were used
for wall hangings in France, thougb
they were by no means -common at.
that lime, in the sixteenth century.
They were, so we are told, hung up
as a movable decorations, thus form-
ing a step in the development of ap-
plied wall papers.
Many artists designed these papers.
Watteau, tor example, is reeponsIble
for a number covered with pastoral
seenee. Revillion was a famous pa-
per manufactuter of Paris at tho time
of the French Revolution; he is one
of those who have been credited with
inventing a method of making wall
paper in rolls, rather than in small
flat sheets.
This writer mentions also flock pa•
pots, made by one Le Francois or Rou-
en, in 1030, who attempted to imitate
tapestries, which were costly, by a
cheaper material, made by spread-
ing powdered wool of various col-
ors upon a drawing covered with a
stick substance. This was called
sametitttes "paper veloute" (Le Fran-
cois named it "Tontissue"); but, wizen
it was exported to England, it was
given the name "flock paper." It is
claimed, however, that one aerezne
Lanyer, an Englishman, had previous-
ly invente4 something of the sort,
some kind ot an imitation of the silk
tapestries. To quote again: "
The manufacture of, flock papers
spread in Ettgland and was given up
in Preece. Only toward the middle
et the eighteenth century was the
making of real colored opera (ap-
Piers peints) begun in. France and
England. The first factory eats set
up in 1746, tut the work was not ex-
tended further until 1780."
• In a chapter (tweeted to the earliest
wall papers in America, Ave are told
that "wall papers of expeosIve styles

As time passed, and Sana did not
tarn up, the company was frankly dis-
appointed. They abused luta thought-
lesely, forgetting in their chagrin at
losiiiig a sensation, that Sam might
have deelleee a. ciente% so unequal
with entire honor. Bela kept her eyes
clown to hide their angry glitter at
the men's eoranlente.
Joe Neaten(' was le the higheet
Write. In him tine took the torte of
boletereasness ane arrogance. Not
only did he usurp the place at the
head of the table, but he hela every-
body off from the place at his
right,
"That's reserved," he said to all
comers.
As in every party .t>f men, there was
an obsequtous element that encouraged
Joe with flattery. Among the sturdier
spirits, however, Big Jack Mahooley,
Coulson, an hottest resentment de-
veloped.
In particular they objected to Joe's
changed air toward.Bela, He wee not
openly insulting to her, but into hie
voice had crept a peremptory note ap-
parent to every ear, Ile called her at-
tention to empty plates, and otherwise
noted the part of a host. In, reality he
was imitating eam's =liner of the
night before, but the effect was dif-
ferent,
If Bela. had shown any resentment
it would have been all up with Joe.
They would have thrown him out in
less time than it takes to tell. But Bela
did his bidding with a cold, euppreseed
Tho other men watched her, as-
tonished and uneasy, None has ever
seen her like this.
When the dinner was fairly under
way it transpired who the vacant.place
was for,
"Come and sit down, Bela!" cried
Joe, "Lend us the light ot your
handsome face to eat by, Have some-
thing yourself, Don't be a stranger at
Your own table,"
Big Jacq scowled into his plate, and
Coulson bit his hp. Their hands itched
for Joe's collar. Unfortunately among
men, no Man likes to be the first to
administer a public rebuke. The least
sign from Bela would have been suffi-
cient, but she gave them none. She
made believe not to have heard Joe,
He repeated his invitation in louder
tones.
"I never sit," she said, quietly.
"Timebasyt.h,,at rule was broken," cried
"Hang it, let the old woman serve!
Every man hes had one plateful. Come
and talk to me,"
All eyes were on Bela. She hesi-
tated, then went and sat at Joe com-
manded The other men could scarce-
ly believe their eyes. Bela to take
orders in public like this! Her Inscrut-
able exterior gave no indication of
what was passing within.
There was, perhape, a hint ot' pain,
e.ager in her eyes, but hiddea so deep
they could not see it. The obvious in-
ference WitS that Joe had won her at
last. She went down in their estima-
tion. Every man shrugged, so to
speak, and let Joe have his way.
That Youth swelled with gratified
vanity. He heightened his jocular air;
his gallantry had an insolent ring.
"Say, we'll pay double if you let us
look at YOU while we eat. You'll save
money, too; we won't eat to much.
We'll take You for dessert!"
The other men were uneasy. If this
was Joe's and Bela's way ot Making
love they wished they would do it la
private They evert slow thinking men,
accustomed to taking things at face
value. Like all men, they were shy of
Inquiring too far into an emotional
situation.
Bela did not eat, but sat still, silent
and walled -up. At such moments she
was pure Indian. Long afterward the
men recollected the picture she made
that ;eight, still e.nd dignified as a
death mask.

He waited tor a eignificaut air for
her to speak. There wits nothing naive
about Sana`e light manner; he was on
the qtti vivo for Whatever might come.
Bela tried to answer him, and cored
hot. Her iron will was no longer able
to hide the evidences of agitation. Her
lips were parted and her breath was
coming fast. he 'kept her eyes down.
There wes a highly -charged silente
in the shaek. All knew that the turn
of the drama depended oft the mixt

By this time Joe bed partly recov-

Otto Joe's diseomfited face. •
That move won him more thau one
friend in tile shack. Young Coulson's
eyes sparkled with admiration. Big
Jack frowned at Satn, eivlded between
old resentineat and new respect.
Sam quickly followed up thia
tag%
: "Seems you weren't expecting me
this evening," he said, quietly. "I
, wouldn't have missed it for a lot,
Heard there .was going to be sante-
thing special' doing. How about it,
Joe?"
Joe was no match for him sit tbis
kind of game. He looked away, mut-
tering,
"What's on boys?" aslced Sam.
"Vaudeville or parlor charades?"
He won a hearty laugh by it, ana
once more Joe felt the situation sale
ping away from hint. Finally be
thought of a way of getting back at
Sam.
"Bela!" he cried. roughly. "You
bring another box and sit aown here."
Sam stared, genuinely amazed at
his tone.
"There is no Tooth," said Bela In it
wooden voice.
"You bring over a box!"alert ace,
Peremptorily.
Sam's face was grim, "My friend,
that'e no way to speak to a lady," lie
said, softly.
This was the kind of opening ,Toe
wanted. "What the hell Is it to you?"
Ile shoutea.
"And that'e no way to speak to a
man!"
"A man, no; but plenty good enough
for. a -cook!"
At Sam's elbow was a cup with tea -
dregs iu the bottom. He picked it up
with a casual aer and tossed the con-
tents into Joe's face.
CHAPTER XXII.
A gasp went around the table. Joe
sprang up with a. bellow Of rage, Sam
was already up. Ile kicked the filmed.
lug box away. Wlicia Joe rushed late
he ran around the other side of the
table.
Sam had planned everything. out.
Above all he wiehed to avoid a rough
and tumble, in wlech he would stand
no •chance at all. He had speed, wind,
and nerve to pit against a young
mountaia of muscle.
c r 1"eWd ill you see fair play, bees?" he
"Sure!" answered t half a dozen
voices.
Big Jack stopped Joe in mid -career,
g"Irienit'ley.do everything proper." he said
By this time all Were up.' Of one
aecoyd they ehoved the treaties back
against the wall and kieked the boxes
'underneath. Every breast reoponded
to the thrill of the keenest excitement
known to man -a fight with fists.
Sam and Joe, obeying a clothed,
creature's first impu:se, wriggled out
of their coati and Ming them on the
grouncl. Joe took off his boot. Sam
was wearing moccasins.
Young Coulson came to Sant with

"I eaa'e be present at it thing like

whieper. He ran out, s
Big Jack took the centre of the
floor. "I'll referee this affair if

' "Suits me," replied Sam, briefly.

corners and called for a second for

He chose young Mattison.
Sant remained alone in his corner.
While hie pluelt had were him friend,

Prom behind the tall white men a

"I be your Mall," he whispered; "If

"Straight Itiargula of Queensberry

Thle was an advantage to Sam,
"Tirael" cried Big Jack,
Phe adyerearies stepped out of their

All this while Bela had been stand-
ing by the ltitchen door with her
hands pressed tight to her bread and
her agonized eyes following all that
went on. She did not clearly under-
stand. But when they advaneed toward

The Reichstag, controlled for the

LIMBURG-ON-THE11N.
Historiz Town Where English
Prisoners Are Reid.
- It is in a historie spot that English
prisoners are now being confined
when captured by the Germans. Of
course, a far greater number of Ger-
- mans have been captured by the Brit-
ish than the number of British, taken
by the Prussian. war party. A de-
spatch says that the prison for Eng-
lish captives is at Limburg -on -the -
Lahti. To Buffalanians it may sound
somewhat like a cheese factory on the
Erie, but in reality It is a historic
spot. Nor is it to be confused with
Belgium city where the aforesaid
the Galician city ot Lemberg, not the
dairy product has Its origin,
Limburg-onethe-Lahn is one of the
oldest towns of Germany, .11 is situ-
ated tn the principality et Hesse -Nae -
situ and is thirty-two miles east of the
important Rhenish city of Coblenz.
As a prison camp it has advantage of
being comparatively near the battle
fronts of Prance and Belgium, yet sof-
ficiently far removed to be out of the
danger zone of possible raid and res-
cue. It is at least 160 miles in an
airline northeast ot Verdun, the hear -
est important point of conflict at the
present time, and lies 100 miles almost
directly east of elelgeddy, a town on
the German-Beiglum frontier, Ger-
many's great cathedral city, Cologne,
is sixty-five miles itt an airline to the
northwest. the
At
outbreak of tho war Lim-
burg was a towu of slightly less than
10,000 inhabitants, and its chief Inter-
ests were tobacco factories, soap and
pottery works Machine shops and
breweries. To the east, along the
Latin extends the Limburg basin, for
three or four miles, and it is probably
in this plain that the English prison-
ers are confined. One of the exas-
perating features or beleg a prisoner
in Limburg must be, the recollection
to many of the English unfortunates
that at this Very season of the year in
