Battle By mTqUAD CopyrlKht, 1915, by the McCluro NoWBpaper Hyndlcato. Our battery lind been doing splendid lervlco. Prom our position on the light wo could sco tlio shells drop Into Iho woods nnd break up tho formation f the Confederate cavalry every time llioy loft cover. We know whero they wore. Job ituurt's old troopers were there; AVudc Hampton's dragoons were there I m Ooden, Kosser, Mosby every Confed erate cavnlry command wo hnd fought In Virginia was making ready In the shelter of tho woods to chargo on our left Dunk. "Boom! Dooml Uooml" Tho gunners knew what was at Hake. The orders were to dlo at the puns If tho position could not bo held. For half an hour their bursting shells kept the front clear, and wo of the cavalry cheered them. Out from tho cover of the forest at half n dozen places gallop the gray troopers by hundreds. They wheel to the right and left, form In two lines, take their distance, close up with n trembling motion, and now there will be n grand charge. The shells burst In front of them, among them, but discipline Is stronger than tho fear of death. Loss than 300 of us all cavalry to Hupport tho battery. If that mob of gray riders ever reaches the foot of the slopo wo shall bo picked up and sent whirling llko dry leaves In n hurricane. Tho flro of tho six guns becomes more rapid. It Is truly terrible, but In their haute the gunners do less execution. "Left wheel! Forward! nightdress!" Just 278 of us by nctual count ns we dress In two ranks. What nro wo go lug to do? "Draw sabers! Forwurdl Trot! Gal lop! ChargeT' They nro driving us down at that body of men ten times our number to break and check tho charge. If wo can stop them for ten minutes tho bat tery will bo snved by tho infantry. We oblique to tho left ns wo go to closo up. Wo nro a living wedge, driving down to enter n living mass and split It in twain. Tho wedgo enters. Tho wedge drives uhcad over fallen horses nnd dismount ed men, yelling, slashing, cutting, keep ing their pace. A trooper slashes nt mo, n horso goes down In front or mine, I feel myself falling with my horse, nnd then I urn out of tho tight for n moment. Tho darkness which enshrouded things passes nwny after n bit, and 1 nnd my horso lying across my feet with tho saddlo Hup so holding him that his dead body must bo lifted up to get mo out. Tho chargo of tho gray troopers was broken. That wedge drove right through tho mass and turned to attack them in tho rear. Swirling about in circles llko tho vulture of war, tho mass of men edges away until tho field about mo Is clear of all liut tho dead and wounded. I'vo got a saber cut on tho shoulder and can feel tho wnrm blood bathing my nrm, but I know I could walk away If 1 could get my feet clear. 1 am worklnir to extrlcato them when I hear hoofbeats behind me. Tho next moment n rider less horso dashes up nnd comes to u halt- Ho has not been hit, but ho has left his rider dead back there In tlio stubble, u Federal captain. Tho horse stands pawing and snort ing when out from tho whirl of death, half a mllo uway, breaks n chestnut charger and conies galloping dowu upon us. There Is blood on tho sad dlo llaps drops of blood on his shiny Hanks. It Is not his blood, but that of tho Confederate man who rode him. and who has been cut down by n stroke of tho saber. It Is gray versus chestnut Federal versus Confederate. Tho newcomer Is still n hundred feet away, when tho gray horso rushes at lilm with ears laid bnck and mouth open, and as I watch them I forget that shells are scream ing, bullets whistling and tho saber lin ing bloody work within sound of my voice. As tho two horses como togeth or they rear up, neigh dcllanco at each other and a tight begins a battle with in a battle. Each seems embued with a deadly hatred for tho other, nnd to bo determined to destroy his antago nist. Of a sudden I realize that they nro closo upon me. In their mad furv thev fee neither dead nor wounded hear not tho shout and shot of battle. Tho grny kicks n dead man aside us ho backs up for n fresh effort; the chestnut tramples the llfo out of a wounded mnn ns ho dances about They will bo over mo If I do not stop Ihom. Tho heels of tho gray are throw ing dirt Into my face as I unsllng my carbine nnd rest it across my dead horse for n shot I lire nt tho grny, us ho is tho nearer nnd the greater men ace, but tho bullet misses tho target At that moment they beglu toVork to tlio left, nnd in tho next they nro past me, leaping over dead horses and tram pllng on dead men ns they scream nnd bite nud kick. Above tho roar of battlo I hear n rlllo shell coming. It gives out n growling, complaining sound which no man ever henrs without a chill. The sound prows louder nearer crash! Tho horses wero fifty feet away, and It must have struck ono of them. Thero was a cloud of suioko, n whizzing of ragged fragments, and when I could eo again both horses wero down torn nd mangled nnd almost blotted off the foco of the earth by tho awful force it tho explosion. diaries LUkuch in his book, "The City of the Dancing Dervishes nnd Other Studies From tho Near East" Speak-1 lug of the Turk as the author knows him, he says: "For parental authority ho entertains a deep regard. A grown up Turk who Is lax enough to drink wlno will usu ally hesitate to do so In the presence of his father. Similar dltlldeuce Is even shown sometimes with regard to smoking. Near relationship does not engender whnt the Turks regard as unseemly familiarity. Turks address their elder brothers by the titles or Agha or Agha beyl. their sisters as Abln. scarcely ever by name miles the difference In age Is very slight. They obey seriously tho Injunctions oi their faith as to charity, and the soli darity of Islam does not permit then to siilTer coreligionists to starve. Fur thermore, they do not blaspheme." Tho Hollow In a Boiled Egg. There Is an nir space In every egu. but we notice It particularly In a boil cd one because the contents have been made solid by cooking nnd made tin hollow spaco more nppnrent. Till--space Is n provision of nature so thai tho chick which grows within the shell may have air to breathe from th time It comes to llfo until It become strong enough to break through th shell to the outside world To genernto life In the egg It Is nei essary that It be subjected to u certal degree of heat for a period of twenty one days. When this Is not don? til egg slate, When It Is boiled the pocket cf ;ii within the shell, which would liuv been used up by the chick If the eg had been set to hatch, begins to tight for Its spaco and pushes tho bolle contents of tho egg bnck, leaving the hollow spiico. Itocky Mountain News How Long Your Nails Grow. Tho growth of an average linger nail Is about ono thirty-second of an Inch a week, or nearly one and one-half Inrhe. In a year, so those aristocratic Chines who proudly exhibit nails six to cigh Indies In length must have refrained from cutting them nt least four to six years. Finger nails grow faster In tho summer than In winter, 'the nail on the middle linger grows faster thai any of the others, and that of tho thumb Is slowest In growth. The nails of the right hand grow faster than those of the left. A nail Is supposed to reach Its full growth In about fou nnd u half months, and at this rate : mnn seventy years old would have re newel his nails .M!2 times. On each linger ho would have grown nine fee of mil or on nil his lingers and thumbs no less than ninety feet o nail. St Louis Republic. Tho First Tooth Festival.

Hu had an oval face, large dreamy eyes and cameo cut features. Wilton entered n parlor enr ono dnj for n, Journey. On tho opposite side were three women. Ono wns nbout thirty, another twenty nnd the third seventeen. Tho two younger ones call ed the oldest Aunt Sue, while she call ed tho next younger Dorothy nnd the younger Fanny. Aunt Sue scorned to !e on terms of equality with the oth ers nnd wns the merriest of the throe. Dorothy and she were continually crucklng Jokes with each other, while Fnnny wns sober, but childlike. Wilton, having plnced his hand bag gage in tho rack above him. settled himself In his chair, pulled a novel from his pocket and began to read. lie did not therefore observe the effect hLs manly beauty had on tho ladles. Dorothy looked from him to Aunt Sue anil back again to him with an expres sion that being Interpreted meant. "Isn't ho Just too lovely for anything?" Aunt Sue returned the glance. Indicat ing "Handsome enough to kiss." Little Fanny observed the mute comments of her ciders, but said nothing. Dorothy leaned toward Aunt Suo nnd whispered something In her ear. Aunt Silo cast her eyes aside, rested them on Wilton for a few moments, then whispered something In Dorothy's ear. Then Dorothy swung her chair nround nnd snld something to Fnnny. who glnuced nt Wilton mid shook her head. Indicating a negative. Wilton read on unconscious of the at tentlon he was attracting from those three ladles. Indeed, he had not given them u glance on entering the enr and had begun his reading as soon us ho had settled himself. They were all comely, dressed In n manner to In dicate that they were persons of refine ment, and since women llko to be noticed Wilton Ignoring them may have spurred them to a conspiracy they concocted concerning him. Hut of this the reader must form his or her own opinion after hearing what this con spiracy was. Those were the days when trains on pnsslng through tunnels wero not light ed ns they are today. On tho line upon which theso three persons were travel ing was a tunnel so long that some throe minutes by the watch wore re cpilred for a trnln to pass through it. The trnln renched tho tunnel in nbout an hour after starting. As soon as they entered It Wilton dropped his book on his kueo and with his faco to tho window waited for the return of light About half tho dlstanco under ground had been passed when he felt a pair of arms thrown around his neck and a pair of lips pressed against his own. Having been pinioned from behind. he was powerless to resist tlio kiss If ho had wished to do so or to get a hold on the kisser. He tried to clutch tho nrms, but they evaded him, nnd all tlio satisfaction ho derived from tho attempt was a knowledge that they wero covered with feminine material. Ho reached out wildly In tho dark, but camo In contact with nothingness. Nearly two minutes elnnseil bnforn the train shot out Into duyllgh't When It did so Wilton swept tlio car with his glanco with a view to discovering who had kissed him. There were a number of women in it besides the three ladies mentioned. Having noted those at a distance, ho fixed his glanco upon his neighbors. Aunt Sue was peering out of tho window, and, her bnck being toward him, ho could not see her face. Dorothy was wiping the dust out of her eyes with her handkerchief. Fan ny was leaning back in her chair look lng up at the car celling apparently wrapped In thought Wilton formed nn opinion that ho had been kissed by ono of his nelcli- bors. Do came to this conclusion be cause they were so near him nnd be cause there was no other woman on the train who looked ns if she would bo likely to commit such an act Of the three he fixed upon Dorothv as the culprit. And yet when she finished wiping tho dust out of her eyes ho noticed an amused rather than n guilty expression on her face. Aunt Sue kept her back turned toward him so lom that he was not sure after all that sho was not the perpetrator. Tho onlv ono of the three that he was quite sure was innocent was Fanny. She looked fitted to sit as a model for n Madonna. lien the train reached tlio terminal Wilton left the enr. still uncertnln n to who hnd kissed him. Tho three la. dies left at the same time, and he snw mem driven uway In a private car. rlage. They took no notice of him. seeming to bo oblivious of him. Ono evening not a week later Wilton ppenred, handsomer than ever in even. lng dress nt a function. He wns walk lng toward a group of ladles, and wheu within u few feet of them one of them whose bnck was toward him tunimi suddenly and faced him. Tlio moment she saw him she turned scnrlet Sho was Fanny. An Introduction onibarrasslnir for tho young lady followed, while n snt lstled smile played on Wilton's ltns Slnco they are now an old couple thero enn bo no harm In stating that sho whb put up to kissing her fellow traveler by tho other two women, who assured ner tnnt thoy would draw tho couth.. man's attention to themselves ns soon ns nn Inspection was made. nut wbnt at tho time saved Fnnnv fromdotectlouwas her udmlrablo uerve.

Why Men Eat More Food Than Women That men eat 5 or (J per cent more than women-not because they are gluttons, but because they nctunlly re quire that much more nourishment appears as a result of an Investigation made In the nutrition laboratory of the (arnegle Institute at Washington by Francis u. Benedict and L. E. Fames, says the Literary Digest. The reasou for the discrepancy seems to lie that women have a smaller proportion of active tissue than men of the same weight and more Inactive material, such as fat The Investigation dis closed that the average woman gen erates only 1',"5 heat units In the twenty-four hours ns against l.GitS pro duced by the man, or about 2 per cent more for the latter per pound of body weight. When groups were compared after careful selection of Individuals of nearly the same height and weight the men were found to produce nbout VI per cent more heat than women. Marriage Superstitions. In some parts of Germany the duties of the bridesmaids nre tinged with su perstition. It is one of their duties on the morning of the nmninge day to carry to the bride a myrtle wreath, for which they had subscribed on tho pre vious evening. This they pluco on her head and at night remove it. when it is placed In the bride's hand, she being nt tho time blindfolded. The brldesmulds then dnnee round her. while she en- denvors to place the wreath on one of their heads. Whoever is fortunate enough to be thus decorated will, it Is believed, be a wife before nnother year lias passed. In removing the bridul wreath and veil tho bridesmaids arc careful to throw away every pin or the brlile will be overtaken by misfortune wlille nny unwury bildesmnid who re tains one will lessen her chances of marriage.
