-she had discovered or to whom what
he or she had discovered, belonged,
there were continual Quarrels and
many people were uselessly killed,
.which is always very regrettable.
The secret of the road to the ; New
World and to the Indies was still a
monopoly which belonged to the Portu
guese and the Spaniards. But they
were always fighting among themselves
and much blood and a great deal of
money was wasted. To make an end
.to- this sort of thing the pope sug-
gested an1 equal division of the whole
"world. Both Portuguese and Spaniards
- declared that-they were willing to ac
cept the arbitration of his hollnees.
And so the pope took a rule and a
map of our planet and he drew a line
which divided the world into two equal
parts and he 'said, "Everything to the
east of this line' snail belong to the
Portuguese and everything, to the west
shall belong to the Spaniards." This
was a very good bargain for the Por
tuguese, for they now enjoyed the ex-
elusive rights to theJdirec,t road to the
Indies by way of the Cape of Good
Hope. ' But the -Spaniards had their
"new world" and did not quite know
what to do with it. They, doubled their
' energies that they might -find the long
sought "gap" which should lead their
ships at last into the waters of Kathay
and Zipangu or as we now write
China and Japan.

X was still upon her the next after
noon when an errand for her father
took tier downtown! Adams had de

Alice 'felt rather degraded, as well as
embarrassed, when she went Into the
large shop her father had named, and
asked for the ciaeap tobacco' he used
in his pipe. She fell back upon an
air ef amused indulgence, hoping thus
to suggest that her purchase .was made
-for some faithful' old retainer, now in
: firm ; and although the calmness of
the clerk . who served her called for
-no such elaboration of her sketch, she
ornamented it with a little laugh and
with the remark, aa she dropped the
package into her coat pocket. "I'm
sure it will please him ; they tell me

Still playing Lady Bountiful, smiling
to herself in anticipation of the joy

negro or Irish follower of ; the family,,

' ly offered "personal instruction and

she almost always passed it when she
came downtown, and never without no-

- she had paused to lift toward it that
same glance of vague misgiving.
- The - building was not what the
changeful city defined as a modem
one, and the dusty wooden stairway,

So would the footsteps of a

covered at an early date,' but from the
seaside the land looked just like the
land everywhere elsea'nd nobody knew
that this Jungle ol trees and ,hilia was
only a few -miles wide. - Finally, in the
year I51S, a Spaniard by the name of
VasdcfNune de Balboa ventured forth
to explore the wilderness of Dianien,
as; the country was then called.
' But Imagine his surprise! One day
be had climbed to the top of a moun

placid waters of another ocean right
before him. He turned around to make
sure that there was no mistake. But
no. He stood right between two oceans.

and Balboa, silent on his peak of Dan
ien, solving,, the mysterious problems
of the new continent. Poor - Balboa
did not reap the fruits from hisi labof,."T
He was appointed royal governor ox
the lands along the; newly discovered
sea. But in the year 1517 ha was ac
cused of high treason. He was not
guilty of this charge, -but before he
had a chance to defend' himself an over
officious servant of the king ordered
Balboa to be decapitated. A little
later they discovered that he had beert
innocent. Then it was too late, for he
was dead. But such things happen often
to our brave pioneers when' they are
obliged to explain their deeds to those
who have safely remained at home. It
is one of the dangers of leadership.

she passed that stairway entrance ;
and though they were all different

a little like herself.

BRAIN TEST

FitrntHstes. to Aaswer Tals
A Jackie who saw service In the
n ortn isea was illustrating the way
they mine-planted waters between Ger
man bases and the grand fleet.
. The mines were anchored so as to
admit of straight tacks through the
fields and these safety lines were so
narrow that without a chart there was
but one chance in a thousand of a year
jel escaping through.
' The sketch illustrates one .of those
mine-strewn sones and we are asked
to discover a route from top to bottom
which: would admit of a ship's passage
in two straight, runs. You - see, 'the
ship would make but one turn in pass
ing through the mines.

The greatest fear In the blister rust

pire from Revelstoke. Canada, where
it was lately found, according to Boot.
Washington state has taken steps to
prohibit the further propagation or
shipment of black currants, which is
the greatest carrier of the disease, al
though the plants already in existence
except in the direct! y infected area
will be permitted to remain. No" such
