You must stay where you are,” Jane cried. Trapped now, she prepared to do battle with the maniac; but then the corridor door opened, and a fat, black slave stepped inside. In the dim light his figure was vague and shadowy. The madman believed this was the ghost of his dead wife. “Kitty!” he shrieked. “Go away! I won't go with you!” The slave started toward him. Sborov turned and fled wildly toward the court yard window. With & final maniacal scream, the ill-starred prince leaped out into the night. A thud! Moans of pain!

HORSETAILS Equisetum Arvense. IN ANCIENT days, probably s mil- lion years ago, the ancestors of these plants grew to be giants. About them in the swamps were fern trees, huge reptiles and more than likely many- dinosaurs, We pass by them from April until {late Autumn, as they can be seen . almost anywhere along the roadsides, / At one time these very tough plants were used by women as scouring brushes for their metals and floors, the fiber of the plant being so hard that it scratched away all discolora- tion and dirt. ‘They are very small today in com- parison with their size in the dim past, but they carry on the family tradi- & conelike cluster of spore cases. ‘This cone should be carefully in- spected. It is composed of a large number of stalked, -shield-shaped scales, esch bearing the spore case underneath. The spore cases each contain a number of strange little spores which, ‘when mature, look like beautiful green . Take some of this powder in the palm of your hand. think you have caught some wriggly creatures. Under & 505, are two wee strap-shaped gadgets (called elaters) on each spore. The moisture of your hand caused them to squirm and wiggle. When the spore dries, the appendages spread out into four arms crosswise. spores are sent into the air on the wind. The fertile shoots dry up. Then you will see another growth springing up, the evergreen shoots with three or four angled branches. ‘The stems are furrowed, and contain much mineral matter, that makes These degenerste descendants of the flourishing giant horsetails of the mid- dle of the Mesozoic era do not have flowers. Like the fern, they develop spores, and these by the millions float in the air, finally coming to rest on the earth. Some fall on sandy, moist ground and continue the race—others on ground that is not acceptable, s0 Cost of Caution. BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (F).— Caution proved costly to Mr. and Mrs. ‘William Patterson of Rudolph. On s visit to Bowling Green, they decided that dense fog would make the 6-mile return to their home hazardous, so remained here overnight. They set out for home first thing next morne ing—and hadn't gone 50 feet before colliding with a truck. »
