Percival and Arnold Stewart, broth- la
ers. enlisted when the pan-European la
war broke out in a regiment of infnntrv
and crossed the channel Into
pi
Belgium. That was when the Germans
were driving the allies south- ^
ward, and It was expected that they
would drive right through Paris. 0
One evening, when the Germans
were pushing the allies toward Lille,
the regiment with which the Stewart
brothers served niude a stand. The S(
Stewarts were In the same company l'
Mild fought shuulder to shoulder. Per- J"
rival was two years older tliau Arnold n)
and kept an eye on Ills brother, dread- tj
Ing every instant to see him fall to the o1
ground. Presently, true enough, what ?]
he feared eaine to pass. Arnold fell, Cl
literally torn to pieces by a bursting u
shell. tt
Maddened at the sight. Perclval
pushed forward, but the st.iud of the
British was only a temporary one. und
the order was given to f ill back. The c<
young soldier, exasperated at not be- tt

ou those who had killed his brother. *
refusal to retreat end. remaining be- $:
hind, continued to fire at the enemy. ' Y
But presently, seeing blood on one of o.1
his hands, he knew that he had been o.!
hit and followed his comrades. 9!
By this time darkness hud fallen,
and Stewart saw the retreating Brit- ^
Isb line through the gloamlug. They
were to make a lengthy retreat this
time, for the French were being pushed
back rapidly, and the British, who , '}"
were on their flank, had a greater dis- j uti
tame than they to go to keep the ap
alignment. Perclval was marching ru
some 500 yards behind them. The cii
enemy on that part of the field had 1
tiimb-ii forward sk-frmlshers to harass
? no
their retreat. po
Pcrclval trudged along, following the
men ahead of him. at times trying to
catch up with them, lie had been
shot In the arm, hut fortunately the re<
artery had not been cut, for In this
case he would have bled to death, mi
Ills mind was 011 the brother he had tie
lost, and neither bis condition nor bis
surroundings engaged his attention.
Stragglers were hurrying past him.
and he was passing stragglers. The
former were In better condition than
he. and the latter were mostly more
severely wounded. But there was one
who neither seemed to gain nor lose 011 ai
Perclval. lie was In Perclval's rear
nud a couple of yards behind him. IIow ^
rercivai became conscious of the man's 1,1
presence he did not know, for he heard
110 Bound coming from his follower. He
was simply conscious that some one
was behind him. Turning, he saw
through the darkness what appeared
to be a |>erson. Whether he was old or
not tell. He only knew that some oue 01
was there. V
The soldier trudged on, or, rather, ?
staggered on. for by this time he was
very weak from loss of blood. Now
and again a bullet whistled past him. .
sent by some skirmisher, but none ?
came dangerously near him. Twice
during the retreat he looked back and m
both times saw his shadower In the sn
same relative |>osition as before. Once ..
when he turned a flash from a distant
cannon slightlv increased his vision,
R ?
and he saw the person behind him a .
trlfe more clearly.
0 For an instant there was a flash of
Joy in liis heart, for from the glimpse
ho got if tho person's face It seemed
to he that of his brother, Arnold. But j
he had seen his brother blown to ^
atoms, ami he knew this could not be. ^
Nevertheless, from the time of this In- (n
: !:!!)i.moults view he became Impressed .
that there was some connection be- (%)
tv.een this Huure and Arnold. ^
Presently. when the skirmish line
was passing so near the British line as
t<? harass them with scattered shots,
the Kngllshuien sent back a small
force to drive back their followers.
This line passed Perclval, dashed In
among the Ccrman skirmishers and
drove them back upon their own main
fjree. ^
Pcrcivi.-.. who was now safe with his
awn i omrades. looked for the man who b
had l een trudging behind him. He had
vanished.
On reaching the British lines Stewart ,v
found himself among those who had
been near him on the retreat.
"Wlid wiw thp fpltnw behind you?"
asked u man who had traveled near ( ^
him.
"Directly In my rear?" II
"Yes." >vi
"Did yon see any one?" ht
"I did. and ho pot between you and n(
a German jict in time to save you from
n bullet. The German was about to fire,
but lowered bis piece. There wasn't 'A
much Huh!. an I I judged that lie was 1S

THE ONLY GOOD WAY
TO KEEP MILK SWEET
1 Follow Two Simple Rules and
Milk Will Bring the Best
Price on the Market
When milk or cream to sold from
' the farm, doubtless the farmer has
often had losses due to the produots
becoming sour. Whether the milk or
1 cream is intended for the table, the
Creamery or the milk market, it must
I bo sweet if It le to bring the beet
price.
r To keep milk sweet, just two simple
things must be carefully looked after:
31 (1) It must be cooled as completely
and as quickly after milking as poesl'
ble, and (2) absolute cleanliness of
paito, cans, and cows must be se3
cured. If this is done, thunder storms
' will no longer sour the milk. The
II warm, damp weather which we have
' Juet before thunder storms really does
f tend to cause milk to sour because it
has not been properly cared for.

A MMk Pail That Makes It Easier
The Top Is Two-Thirds Covered

The souring takes place because lit
' tie invlsiVle plants called bacteria get
i into the milk in dirt or by lurking in the
t corners and seams of poorly cleaned
palls and cans. The remedy is plain
, Keep the bacteria out by using seam'
less pails and cans and seeing that ab
aolutely no dirt or dust gets into the
milk in the stable or anywhere else.
Profits from milk will be greatly in
creased by good supply and propei
: use of clean hot water and an ic<
i house or good cold spring.

'Bah!'' contemptuously ejaculated
Uncle Oracle Onken during a spell of
low temperature. "Von voting fellows
don't know anything nlmut cold weather.
Why, 1 remember the winter of
eighteen hundred uud so forth when It
wits so cold that If you hung a cuu of
b'lllu' water out o' doors It tracked
like u gun. Yes, sir, and a live coal
would freeze cold In Ore minutes.
Worse than that, your conversation actually
froze before It could be beard.
I knew a stutterin' man who talked
chopped ice. and a feller who drawled
so that his remarks froze In his throat
and bad to be extracted wltb a corkscrew.
You bad to beat your watch
every now and then or It would tick
Itself full of particles of ice and stop

Joke. When visitors come we would
slip up and put a lot of frozen shrlek9
and bowls in the fireplace, and when
they thawed out they'd yell like dc

The British academy once hud printed
a few copies of an Important work
for presentation to some foreigners
who, from their prominence in the scientific
world, were best entitled to be
honored with the gift. Professor Alrv,
the astronomer royal, was requested

few days after tie had sent iu bis list
be was Informed by the secretary of
the admiralty that "my lords" were
struck by the number of unknown
nutnes Included and that they wished
to make nn Inquiry on the subject.
Airy asked the secretary for some
specifications as to the names referred
to.
"Well, as an example." said the secretary,
"here is the name of Professor
C. F. Gauss of Gottingen. Who Is he?"
"Gauss is one of the greatest mathematicians
of the age and stands umong
the two or three most eminent musters
in physical astronomy now living.
Who else do you wish to know about?"
"No one pise. That will do," replied
the secretary.
