Then, resting a bit, I shouldered my load, And wended my way down the dusty road, The morning stretched into the rater - u000 -- My journey's end seemed as far as the, moon: Till at length a horse and a wagon drew nonr, .And my heart revived with a spark of ohoer, But the man saw only his own small tronl, And the narrow way to bis narrow goal, And ho whipped his horse to a guilty trot, Though the sand wee deep and the clay was hot, And he paeeed me by on the dusty road, And I sank still lower beneath my load. Yet out of the dust came another elan, Walla grizzled beard and a cheek of tan And be pulled np short and ho gaily cried: '.I say, there. comrade, get in and ride!

Haw the English Lost the Battle of Spoofersfontein. "Yes, indeed, old chap," said Captain Cholmondeleigh-Smithers of his maj- esty's Four Hundred and Eighth cav- alry, "your policemen are certainly handling the traffic much better than when 1 was last here; but, dash it, you haven't got it down to the point we [save in Lender' as yet. You've got your policemen educated and drivers trained, but yove horses are a bit raw. "Did you ever hear how the English came to lose the battle of Spoofers- footein during the Boer war? No?. Well, we were not particularly -'proud of the incident, and it was such a bully low trick on the part of the Boers that it is not at all strange that they have not circulated the story. -You see, the Four Hundred and Eighth cavalry were called out in 1907 during the horse famine in South Africa, so many of 'em having, been killed off in battle, d'ye see. We hap- pened to reach the seat of war simul- taneously with a consignment of cav- alry mounts that had been drafted from London in an emergency -bus and cub horses. Dash me if they didn't put us on those brutes trained in the London streets! "Well, sir, in the thick of Spoofers- fontein my regiment was given the order to charge u Boer battery that held the pivotal position. We swept down on them, ten to one, and for some reason we could not comprehend for the moment. they held their fire, "What do you think the. poltroons .had clone? Dash me if they hadn't dressed out one rank of soldiers in the uniform of a blooming lot of Lon- don bobbies! Just as we rose in our ,stirrups - to strike, these bounders, helmets and all, stepped out in front of the battery, with their backs to lis, and each held up a big paw in a white cotton glove. Of course the horses in our front rank stopped short, and their riders went over their heads, and in the fraction of a second the Four Hun- dred and Eighth was rolling over it- self on the ground. That's how we came to lose one of the most impor- tant engagements of the war." --Suc- cess Magazine. , Curries and Chutneys. True Indian curry sauce is an ineen- tion of unknown antiquity. The Him doo makes it fresh as used from pound- ed up various aromatic herbs and nuts, boiling it in ghee, a butter, and cocoa- nut water. It is very mild and aro- made and only slightly pungent and hot. As a rule, it is poured over heaps of light, snowy cooked rice, to which meat is added, if it Is to be had. Mus. salmons and Portuguese of later India took it up and added strong cayennes, garlic and onions and other strong spices abhorred by the natives. East Indians also use a chutney sauce made of pickled 'green mangoes and eat on the side little spratlike dried fishes, to which is given a high flavor by keep - SUBJECTS Resident and Mail Courses Catalogues Free J.

AFIRE -POT of a furnace should be 5.b1e to endure r us heat emendo and to repel the attacks of sulphur fumes. The material commonly used far a fire -pot is gray iron. The Sunshine fire -pot is Semi - Steel. Now, avoiding technical terms, gray Iron. has what may be Called "open" pores. Through these "open" pores the destructive sulphur fumes attack the iron and hasten disintegration. On the other hand, Semi - Steel is a close -grained ma- terial, wilt p, smooth -as -glass surface which practically seals or "closes" up the pores. Semi - Steel easily repels the attacks of gas fumes and thus greatly prolongs the life of the fire - pot. A Settii-Steel fare -pot weighs 20 per trial, heavier than the sande size and pattern in gray iron. It is therefore better able to endure tremendous heat. Semi -Steel is made by an exclusive IVicelary process. You can only get a Semi -Steel fire -pot with a McClary furnace. That is one strong reason why you should have the Sunshine installed in your home. Our agent in your Ioeality will tell you many other reasons. Ask him.

It Led to a Capture.

Brady is certain to be disguised, The writer, however, In, closes a photograph of Daisy Qilbart, who, not .being as yet known to the po, lice, may possibly travel In proprla per- sona. The photograph was that of a bold, saucy eyed young woman with a pro- fusion of light bair and very showily attired in evening dress. A. mark on the neck attracted my attention, "One would have thought that a wo- man of that type would have got the photographer to retouch the mark out of the picture," 1 said, "Wbat•do you make of it all, sir -a split in the camp?" "The chance§ are that jealousy of this person Gilbart prompted the in- formation." I could not gainsay the chief's view. 1n nine cases out of ten the anony- mous letters that lead to the capture of important criminals are due to fem- imine spite. And yet there was the chance that the friendly letter might be a "plant." The warrant for Joe Brady had been in my hands for six weeks. The only credit 1 could so far take was that my pursuit had been so keen that he had not dared to -come out into the open and make a bolt for it. 1 glanced at the clock. It was near- ly 3 o'clock, and 1 had two hours and a half to make arrangements for the capture. 1 mentioned the name of the plain clothes men whom 1 desired to support me and took my departure. So it was that at 5 o'clock 1 drove up in a bansom to the terminus. carefully dressed in the garments of a bishop and with my face altered from alt semblance to the original. To be in keeping with my assumed character in the probable event of Brady having confederates on the watcb 1 went into the bookiug office and took a first class ticket for Liverpool, after which I strolled out on to the platform just as the train of vestibule cars was backing into position. Early as it was, my two subordinates had by y direci on preceded me to the station, though they were not to openly communicate with me till the supreme moment. One of them, a smart young sergeant named Parker, who was got up as a bluejacket, con- trived to whisper in my ear as I stood at the bookstall: "The girl is here, apparently alone.. Came ten minutes ago. Took two first to Liverpool• Now in the ladies' wait- ang room." Parker and his colleague had of course had a sight of the photograph. His information was welcome as prov- ing that at any rate the letter received at the yard had some foundatlon,and was not, as I had half feared, a prac- tical joke designed to lead us on a wild goose chase. I sat down on a bench opposite the dining car to await developments. A bishop is a common object nowadays, and my laced hat. and gaiters attracted but little attention. I was able to look over the top of the Church Times, which I had purchased, and so watch the arrival of passeegers. A score of people had taken their seats in the din, itig car, but not one of them, allow- ing for the most elaborate disguise, could I identify as Toe Brady. They were mostly unmistakable Americans returning to their native Iand in par- ties of threes and fours. Suddenly an incident occurred which at the time caused me some uneasi- ness. Sergeant Parker's voice t`dached me, raised in tones'of expostidittion. "No, I don't want a drink, .mate, and by the same token you seem to have had a full dose already," he' was say- ing. A little( way along the platform my assistant had been accosted by a half tipsy bluejacket, who was trying to pull him into the buffet. The sailor's cap proclaimed that he belonged to the same ship as that which Parker's dis. guise denoted, the Majestic. To my re. lief the man seemed to be too muddled to perceive that the sergeant was. no shipmate of his. but staggered off, dropping his bundle once or twice, to the front of the train, The sailor had hardly disappeared when the original of the photograph came out of the waiting room and crossed the platform to the dining car. Sho was wearing a. web tut serge cos- tume and bad made no attempt at dis- guise. even the mark on her neck be' ing distinctly visible above the collar ot her dross. But where wee the redoubtable 'Bra. dy? it was 5:25 bow, and there were no signs of Miss or Mrs, Daisy Gil- bert's intended traveling companion. The same question was plainly begin- niag to agitate the lady. She quitted the scat'whieh she bad secured and stood on the platform of the car gaz- ing anxiously toward the entrance from the Booking 'office. Tho :Warning bell rung, 1 decided en net ecceunt to lose sight of the talr Daisy, If the person site was expect. ing did not come and elle went oe In the trate l• 'weak] go. too, If she riot out and abandoned her journey I and wy assistants would shadow her wber- ever she went, Contriving a word with.

She sat looking out of the. wil!dow, and presently a tear stole Clown her cheek --only one, but a genu- ine, tear. Moved by a - sudden impulse, I changed my seat and took, the place opposite to her nt the welts draped ta. bite ,sly espiseopal garb warranted, I tl\uugbt, the proffer of consolation, in the course of which the pumping proc- ess might be administered. Imagine, then, my astonishment When my overtures were received whit: "What's the use of talking like that? You're the 'tee that's after Joe Brady, ain't you?" A denial would certainly not have been believed, so 1 nodded admission. "You've bad your trouble for noth- ing, I'm afraid. /-13e trust have got wind .of tear letter and kept out of the way." "'l'be letter!" 1 eselaimed in bewilder, ;TIOnt. t. "1 wrote it myself." replied the girl, "I wanted nim eaught. you see. Don't ask why. It's a woman's reason. But he's too cunning for Cup, and now 1 suppose he'll kill me same time." The zee being broken, she poured forth a flood of recriminations against tier late associate. affirming that she teraeho idea of his tree character and giving me the address of his hiding place in Battersea. -We don't stop till Crewe, but you'd better wire to your people from there to arrest him or, at any rate, shadow him till you get back," she advised. I had already decided to do so, but 1 was still not quite satisfied. Why had she gone bn in the train after finding. that her communication to the police had been abortive? Her home was in New York, she said, and, having her passage ticket taken, she wished to use it and cut herself adrift from evil associates. So the train rushed northward, the other passengers in theccar soon ceasing co be amused by the friendship struck up between the elderly bishop and the solitary Traveler. At last the train ran into Crewe sta- tion, and as I rose she put out her well gloved hand. "Goodby, Mr. Gran- tham. I do hope you'll catch trim," she said. "My life won't be safe till he's under lock and key." "But this is not goodby. I am only going to send of the wire," I said. "1 am going on with you to Liverpool to see you safe on board the steamer." It was a chance shot, but it went home. She turned ashy pale, and I knew -that she had been working with the object of getting rid of me at Crewe. But where was Brady? The question was answered by Daisy Gilbart herself in the anguished cry of "My father! Oh, my father!" Follow- ing her gaze to the pia?-1orm, I saw outside the car window two sailors of the Majestic with linked arms. One of them was handcuffed. "I've got bin, sir," said Parker. "By luck I traveled down in the same compartment and laid a few conversa-' tional traps for him. He had neglected to sufficiently post bimself in detail about our fine old craft. I smelled a rat before we'd gone twenty miles." * * * * * * "Daisy Gilbart" was indeed Brady's daughter, and I could not help being sorry for her. She had made a bold bid to hoodwink us by concentrating the attention of our combined forces on the dining car while her father trav- eled in another part of the train, but she hardly allowed for the caution of an experienced officer.
