From her steamer chair the Mar- quise d'Esclignac asked “Are you Julia?” Miss Redmond faintly smiled as she laid it down.

She was supremely indifferent as to what had been told to her host. This was Tuesday; they should Algiers on Saturday at the latest. What news would meet them She held in her book the last dispatch from the ministry of war. Supposing the Cap tain de Sabron had been taken captive by some marauding tribe and was be ing held for a ransom’ This was the Romance of a Spahi, in which she was absorbed Taken captive! She could not let herself think what that might mean. “Robert's you know, is my closest friend.

Northern France is rich in water ways, and hospital barges are already running between Paris and the battls front, under the auspices of the Union des Femmes de France. The hold ia enameled white and fitted with 40 beds, and at the end is the nurse's retiring-room The bargemasteors cabin is converted into a living-room for two surgeons. There is an ope-at ing-room, too, with washing gear, an electric plant, and a perfect system of heating. To convert a Seine barge into a gondola of this kind corts a bare $500, and the results are beyoad praise—especially to fracture cases. to whom the jolting road is agony. The wounded are hoisted in by means of small cranes, and the barge is then towed by steam or motor yachts lent by wealthy persons, who are more than glad not only to lend their boats free of charge, but to navi gate them in person, thus sharing in the work of mercy, The Old and the New. Inventions have a remarkable knack of repeating themselves. Among the more interesting patents for 1914 is a specification for a wheelless motor car, propulsion being by means of skids, which are alternately lowered and ralsed. In the early days of loco. motive history many inventors did not believe that sufficient adhesion was to be attained by a smooth wheel operating on a smooth rail, and weird and wonderful were the devices for overcoming this supposed defect. One ingenious engineer went so far as to design a contrivance In which jointed metal bars worked up and down on the ralls after the fashion of a horse's legs, and there seems to be a certain affinity between this device and the motor car referred to above. en ni night T catch a pines Hlied Kleam I nmong the 1 yonder by the Ropos stream thie foemer ROOSIIY guards who p nent slop to sos er them Doth fis Brntic To them Today no » Today hadows fall and, and ‘neath t all as ow ag waves aver and Gra aden God's b is Or bend the k leaning or ant and le: will five Dbroause Brave sons ori] the » 3 i ne the orange The swords will shine th Of valiant Grant and Les I hear a Hinks I hear a there, with o Two ghostly armies come They are the men that met For ‘tis the dead 1 sce. side in peace repose The swords of Grant and Lee arvial step and slow, an foes, Above them lot ON And let each deathicss star ne Upon ¢ brave Who led the r # of war Their fame resounds fr coast to « From mountain (op to sea: No other land than ours can bos The swords of Grant 1 Glory wave, shi and 1 Auth LEE'S SURRENDER yaa BE 1 or uni Date Should Be Irrevocabiy Fixed in the Minds of the Amer- ican People. By J. A. WATROUS. (Lieutenant-Colonel U. 8. A., Retired) AM writing on Wednesday, April 8, but thinking of April 9, fifty Years ago, when two powerful American armies came together the last time to fight after having fought for nearly four years in a score or more great battles, not to mention many smaller ones; the day upon which one of these armies, that of the Army of Northern Virginia, which had been under the command of Gen. Rob ert E. Lee ever since June, 1862, sur rendered to General U. 8. Grant, com. wander of all the armed forces of the Union, It was a great day for both armies, and, for that matter, the whole na tion, the South as well as the North, though Lee's army and the South did not look upon it from that standpoint at the time. I am of those who have always maintained that the supremest kindness ever manifested toward a peo ple was extended tc the South when, under the leadership of Mr, Lincoln, the rest of the Union prevented the South from leaving the Union to build up a southern confederacy. That is why I say, fifty years after the mo- mentous event, it was a great day for both armies and the nation, Many things happened at Appomat- lo: “'m the one overshadowing PN event.
