GIVE HIM A LIFT,
[Jct Cane, in Boston Herald ]
I was trueging ono day down a dusty
toed,
'While my beck ryas calved under a bit
ot a load, ,
And my hones ached under the load I
bore;
But I tax tweed on in the summer's
heat,
Till I came to a pool where I bathed my
feet.
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!
And lie placed my bhndle behind the
seat, '
And he said: "Olimb in here and rest
your feet,
I never pats by a man on the road,
An' el.esbly, friend, if he's got a load."
I reached my blarney ere came the
night
And my feet were rested, my heart was
light;
And I blessed the driver who gaily cried :
"I say, there, comrade, get in and ride!"
Ahl the world is fall of sore•footed men.

TALE OF THE BOER WAR.
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 -

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.

of furnaces in British Empire, to

THE DINING CAO CLEW
Followed by a Detective,. It Led

By HEADON HILL,,

corning into the room at Scotland
Yard..

named Daisy Gilbart. 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.

When my overtures were received

"What's the use of talking like that?

A denial would certainly not have

The zee being broken, she poured

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.
