."Especially since the Spanish war,

Iting for any reply, she asked ab
ptly, "Why didn't you volunteer,
"Oh, I don't know, Stacey," he said.
"I did not think it altogether neces
eary; there were enough felows with
out me. See how quickly they whip
ped the Spaniards."
"If I were a man," was the rejoinder
and my country needed me, I would
certainly respond, for I think it the
duty of every able-bodied young man
to fight for his flag. To me it shows
a lack of proper spirit when he does
not.
The blood surged hotly into Jack's
face at Stacey's remark, for he thought
of the hard battle he had fought when
he unwillingly remained still while
his friends and schoolfellows were en
listing. When at last they went away
without him, it was one of the bitterest
trials of his young life.
But how could e do otherwise? His
father who ' "ed falling rapidly,
needed his hel eeded the strong
arm of his on n to lean upon.
And when his tle mother added
her tears and ties to Jack not to
leave them, he ye up all thoughts of

The
ad tio swa
For i brief moaat the mob turned its
attention to the stylish piece of head
gear, placing it upon a stick and rais
Ing it above their heads, 'where it was
immediately pelted with mud.
At that instant a woman, who had
seen from her window the beginning
of the disgraceful affair, ran into the
street, pleading with the mob to de
sist and not to attack the girl, but in
vain, and both she and Stacey were
struck by flying missles as the crowd
closed in around them, hooting and
jeering and yelling,
"Well teach her not to ride on the
scab cars again!"
Then came a lull in the attack, fol
lowed by a sudden confusion in the
mob of howling wretches, as a man
rushed frantically among them, scat
terring them in every direction by
furious blows about him, and cutting
a wide patn as he went to the rescue
of that helpless woman. Stacey's
heart beat wildly with gratitude to
this stranger, who had with such mag
nificent courage rushed single handed
into the fray, with only a stick, picked
up as he ran, for a weapon.
As she looked ,a prayer of thank
fulness upon her lips, she saw the man
reel from the effects of a blow upon
the head, and sink to the ground. For
an instant she had seen his face, white
and ghastly, and a cry of horror escap
ed her; it was Jack, her Jack, whom
she had but the evening before called
a coward.
Some oip in the crowd yelled,"The
cops are coming!" And the ruffians
fled into side streets and alleys, disap
pearing quickly, as a patrol wagon
loaded with policemen, who had re
sponded to a riot call, came around
the corner.
In a moment the wounded man was
lifted tenderly into the wagon and
hurried away to the hospital. Stacey
disheveled and tearful, was filled with
dreadful misgivings concerning his
welfare, and wanted to follow him and
ascertain for herself his condition; but
the brave woman who had come to her
rescue opposed this, and succeeded in
prevailing upon the anxious girl to
wait until a conveyance could be had.
When the carriage came, Stacey
gave instructions to the driver to call
at the hospital and wait until the re
sult of Jack's injuries could be learned
She experienced a fee q ense

had r1ceived but a slight wound.
" was only knocked senseless,"
exalined the hospital surgeon, noting
the look of anxiety on the girl's face.
Then he added reassuringly, "He's
come around all right, and as soon as
they get the cut on his head fixed up,
he'll be able to go home."
Stacey did not wait for Jack, nor
did she leave her name, so when he
was told of her call he could only sur
mise that it was she, but was not a
little puzzled to know how she could
have heard of the affair so soon.
That evening a note was handed to
the young man, who sprang to his
feet with a fierce look in his eyes, and
an exclamation that would have shock
ed Stacey, if she could have heard it,
when he learned that his sweetheart,
the girl who was soon to be his wife
was the victim of that cowardly as
sault, and to whose rescue he had hast
ened. He strode up and down the
room with clenched fist, swearing dire
vengeance upon the mob and particu
larly against the brute whom he had
whom he had seen push the girl back
into the very face of that awful crowd.
Then, regardless of the strips of
the strips of court plaster upon .his
forehead, he seized his hat and rushed
away to Stacey's home.
It was a very tearful and penitent
face that was upturned to receive his
kiss, and a sobbing girl clung to him,
brokenly imploring his forgiveness for
her cruel words of the evening before.
"You are right," she said after a
while. "It requires courage to be a
soldier, but sometimes it requires
higher courage, not to ne one. If
I--"
He stopped her with a kiss.-Waver

DISCOMFORT8 IN GREECE.
A Place Where the Eye Rather Than
the Palate is Gratified.
Excepting Japan, southern Italy and
the Tyrol, no country compares with
Greece in the beauty of.its landscapes.
It is not a land for luxurious people,
however. The climate is more to be
recommended than the hotels, but the
natural scenery has a variety, a rich
ness and a color that po other part of
Europe affords. The foliage and the
flowers are abundant and beautiful,
and in the rural districts the people
are picturesque in manners, customs
and dress. Their habits and social
life have not been affected by what we
call the advances of modern civiliza
tion.
In public conveniences, however,
Greece is still far behind the timds.
t.hens is the only place where the
hotels are tolerable, and travelers who
go into the interior must take their
own provisons and bedding. Even
those who make little exeursions by
carriage for a single day in the neigh
borhood of Athens must carry a lunch
basket, because the inns are primitive
and filthy. Railway facilities are lim
ited. With a few exceptions the
roads are bad, but they are gradually
improving, and most of the centres
of great interest to tourists may now
be reached by carriage, Only a few
years ago travelers had to go on 1
horse-back or on foot, as they do in
the Holy Land. Even now those who
visit some of the most interesting 1
places have to put up with discom- I
forts, inconveniences and a good deal
of dirt and bad smells, although they I
are fully repaid.---Chicago Record

NAMING A HOOSIER TOWN.
The Story an Apostrophe Tells on a
Railway Station Sign.
Indiana is Efll of towns with queer
names. But the queerest of them all
has so far been left to languish in
undeserved obscurity. People *ho
are acquainted with that portion of
Darkest Indiana, which lies in the
immediate vicinity of Crawfordsville
must have seen on the sign board of
a little railroad station, as they rush=
ed by on a limited ttain, this astonlbh
ing name:
: H'TOWN. i
Behind that apostrophe lies the
story of the joke which a rich old
Indiana farmer played on the directors
of a great railroad company. The
farmer in question owned several
thousand acres of land in one body.
When the railroad was built it was
found necessary to cut through his
land. The right of way agents went
to the old farmer and asked him to
set a price on a strip running through
his farm a few hundred feet wide.
He laughed at them and said his
land was not for sale at any price.
He didn't believe in railroads anyhow
and didn't want one running through
his property. They offered him a
huge price for the land, for they
had found other property owners In
the vicinity reasonable and did not
care to start any condemnation suits
unless it was absolutely necessary.
But the old farmer would not listen
to them. His income was twice as
large as he cared to spend, and he
rather enjoyed the position of block
ing all the efforts of a great corpora
tion.
The claim agents made
minds that they would have to start
a suit, and were about ready-t" bring
it when they were surprised to get
a letter from the old farmer.
"If you'll let me name the town you
are going to build on my land," he
said, "I'll give you all the land you
need."
They accepted his terms with glee.
Of course they expected that his van
ity would lead him to name the town
effhr-kmself, and they were quite
prepared fer that emergency. But
he'fooled them. 'A written agreement
was drawn up and signed and the
deeds passed. Then they asked him
for his name. The old maln grinned
broadly.
"We'll call it Helltown," h4 said.
They argued with him until they
saw it was useless. They could not
back out, for the papers had already
been signed. Then they decided they
would get even in another way. They
elided the second, third, and fourth
letters of the name and put in their
place an innocent apostrophe. And
so the name of the village is "H'town"
to this day.-Chicago Tribune.
INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.
Bursting a Strong Cask With Half a
Pint of Water.
That a small quantity of water, say
half a pint, may be made to burst a
strong cask seems a startling state
ment to make, and yet is it true. It
is a well-known law of physics that
the pressure exerted by liquids in
creases in proportion to their depth.
Suppose, therefore, that we have a
strong cask filled with -water, and
standing on end. The staves of this
cask may be made to burst apart by
adding a very small quantity of water
to what is already in the cask. As
the cask is already full, some way of
adding the water must be devised. To
do this a hole is bored in the end or
head of the cask, and a long tube of
small diameter is inserted upright.
At the upper end of the tube is a small
funnel into which water is poured un
til the tube becomes full, and when
that point is reached 'the cask will
burst. This seems almost incredible,
but it is only a demonstration of the
law that has been cited. When the
water is poured into the tube it unites
with the water in the cask, and the
depth of the water is several times .as
great as that in the cask alone. The
fact that there is only a small quan
tity of water in the tube makes no dif
ference, for it is now one body, and
its depth is gauged from the top of
the tube to the bottom of the cask.
As a matter of fact, this expert
ment is only an artificial reproduction
of what we know takes place in na
ture. Some of her greatest convul
sions are caused by this very process.
Suppose, for example, that there is a
great mass of rock, under which there
is a cavity filled with water that has
no outlet. Suppose, moreover, that
there is a crack extending from the
surface of the ground through this
mass of rock to the water filled cav
ity underneath. A rock in this con
dition is a common thing in nature,
the crack being caused by some dis
turbance of the earth, or its split
ing in the natural order of things.
Now when it rains enough to fill that
crack, thus increasing the depth of
the water in the cavity the pressure
will become so great that the rock
will be torn into a hundred fragments.

She Lost Nothing.
A distinguished naval officer was
telling this story on himself the other
evening to a ga~iering of his friends.

been through the civil war and had
had many harrowing experiences
aboard ship, through all of which he
kept his courage and remained as
calm as a brave man should. As the

ever, his calmness gradually gave

the full hbaval wedding, the oilcer Was

the best of health, thanks to you. Yours truly, MRs. SOPHIr BWxxs."
