THE GIRL
HE DIDN'T
KNOW
(® by D. J. Walsh.)
in
ARTLETT worked his way up
slowly, gun at rest, but eyes
searching eagerly. A rabbit
crossed his path, but sped on its
way unnoticed. A partridge whirred
and in a wild spot a turkey gobbled a
carning to members of his flock.
But evidently they were not the
game Bartlett was after. A pheasant
fn his bag did not seem to awake en-
thusiasm, for another was heard drum-
ming in the distance and the sports-
man did not look that way.
Then, fully half a mile along the
slope, he saw a girl, and his eyes
brightened and his steps quickened—
only to dull and lag after a few mo-
ments. A man had emerged from the
shadow of a rock, His head was bent
and he seemed to be winding some-
thing. Of course. A cameri. They
were taking pictures,
“Jackass: serves you right.” accused
Bartlett to himself. “Only one day be-
fore you go away to do a man's work,
and here you are like a lovesick kid,
climbing miles over rocks to
girl you don't know, What if you did
happen to meet her once on a hunt-
ing trip among these very rocks and
help her down to the nearest house
because of a sprained ankle? Did she
give yon the least encouragement to—
didn’t she say she'd rather hobble on
alone? Didn't she dismiss you curtly
when the house was reached? No—yes
—sure. Did you learn her name? No.
Didn't you try to say foolish things
to her without the least response?
Y-es. Well, there you are. Yonder's
the girl. Look at her, Take your fill.
See how she's chatting with the man

or two before her son struts away to
glory—half a hundred friends waiting
to say good-by with admiration in their
eves—and a Jolly sister, all puffed up
with pride over her h-e-r-o? Pish "
In his self-disgust, anger and dis-
appointment, Bartlett spoke aloud,
though with full of no
listener within half a mile. He had
wheeled sharply at the words "turn
your head,” and now with a “one-two-
three, one-two-three, face the firing
squad, you bdob!" covered his
steps to the concealment of big rocks
and after swung into a bit,
stunted growth that scantily patched
the mountain slope.

excuse of going off for a little last
hunt among the rocks and the guile-
less pheasant that perched on

3eyond the stunted
slope grew more rocky and broken,
with deep gashes and even ravines
cutting into and under the rocks. As
he advanced Bartlett's brain cleared
and the gun changed from rest to
ready. In a thicket of scrub oaks he
shot a brace of partridges, among the
rocks a wild turkey and then a rabbit,
And then the rocks grew so cavernous
and wild as to suggest bigger and
more dangerous game,
He thought something of the kind
was found when he dropped into a
dark fissure overhung by rocks and
heard a sudden shuffling back, as of
an animal retreating. Bartlett, with
grim humor in the determination to
regain himself, pictured the shuffling
as an enemy in hiding and he the
fellow to oust him, So with gun for-
ward at half-cock, he moved cautious.
ly but unhesitatingly into the cavelike
gloom, knowing that while he couldn't
gee the quarry the ligt behind made
him plainly visible to the beast with-
in. Then:
“All right. You've got me, I'll come
out.”
Bartlett retreated, wondering what
he had, got. The shuffling followed,
presently revealing itself, the light
reached, as a disheveled, cowed-look-
ing young man of not unpleasing
presence,
“What are you going to do with
me? Run me in for the $50, of course,”
the young man sald sullenly, but with
a half-grin. “Anyway, it can’t be worse
than three weeks of hiding in holes
like this."
Bartlett caught the truth and drew
himself up with sudden stiffness. He
was a big fellow and in his uniform
of second lleutenant looked rather
formidable.
“You are a deserter,” he gaid.
“Of course, You've been after me
and know, so what's the use, I guess
I'm it and you get the $50. My mise
take was poking my head out of this
hole, Yousaw me. If I'd kept hid un-

Half an hour later they rose, There

eyes as he grasped Bartlett's hand.

Field of Electricity
William Gilbert was the most distin.
guished man of science among the sub-
jects of Queen Elizabeth of England.
His book on magnetism may be re-
garded, says Willlam Cortez Abbott,
as the “earliest landmark in the study
of electricity.”
Contrasted with the familiar won.
ders of electricity today, Gilbert's ex-
periments may seem merely rudimens-
tary, but the great developments to-
day would be impossible had not the
men of earlier ages blazed a trail, In
the fleld of electricity, Gilbert was
the first of the ploneers, but little is
known about this scientist,
He practiced medicine. in London
and won recognition as one of the
leaders in his profession. In 1601 he
was appointed physician to Queen
Elizabeth and lived at the court
James II continued him in this office,
but Gilbert died soon after, in 1603.
Gilbert was one of the first scientists
to restrict his imagination and to
base his beliefs upon experiments. He
was not only the first real scientist in
the fields of electricity and magnet
{sm but he was also the first English-
man to advocate the views of Coper-

The cut of a dress must give the ef-

says the Woman's Home Companion.
The dress illustrated achieves this
simple yet individual effect by means
of an unusual yoke in the blouse and
a skirt which is cut circular in front
and plain at the back. The yoke fol.

from which hangs a little diamond.
