Clara Lee 1'uckette, In Washington Post. In the darkness ahead there were occa sional flares of red flames, and from them ascended long, comet-like tracks of light that flashed Into momentary blazes. The boom of the cannon, the wlerd shrieking of the shells and their sharp explosion blended in one wild devil's concert. The boy from Maine drew back quickly from the muzzle of the starboard gun No. 1 of the United States gunboat Mackinaw. The old gunner standing rigid drew the lanyard toward himself with a sudden Jerk. There was a deafening roar and a cloud of choking smoke enveloped the gun crew. Another shell had been sent into the solid earthworks of Fort Fisher. The boy from Maine rushed forward through the smoke and thrust the clean ing rod Into the muzzle of the gun. An other of the crew dashed a pailfull of water over the long steel tube. The gun was reloaded and another shell was hurl ed at the spurts of flame ahead. They had been doing this at intervals since the early afternoon, and now It was almost midnight midnight of Christmas eve, 18C4. "Cease firing," came a hoarse order out of the dark. The gun crew of No. 1 flung themselves down on the sloppy deck with audiblo sighs of relief. The devil's concert did not abate noticeably. The remaining vessels of the Federal fleet were still exchanging compliments with Fort Fisher. The old gunner quickly filled his pipe, and the glow from the bowl half illumin ed his wrinkled face now and then. ''Put's me In mind of a Christmas eve I spent at the mines In Californy," he remarked, "only it's Just a mite worse." "Don't talk about Christmas," said one of the crew In a husky voice. "I left three children at home. Tbey are in bed now and three little stockings are banging above the fireplace same as always, I hope. The wife is sitting up a while may be, a thinking of me or maybe saying a bit of a prayer. Don't like to think of it when things are so dubious. What are you thinking about, Fritz?" "Of the Vaterland some." replied an unmistakable accent. "Vat is the matter mit the boy? He is always talking be fore." The boy heard nothing. He sprawled on the deck with his head on one arm. The smell of the pine trees and the odor of boiling maple sap was in his nostrils. He was many hundreds of miles away from the Mackinaw, off Fort Fisher, back In the Maine woods with a sugaring party. The smoke of the pine-knot fire was ris ing slowly and the golden brown syrup hissed and bubbled In the kettles. Merry little shrieks of laughter rang in his ears. She was there, the pink and white of her face so prettily emphasized by the mink tippet. How absurdly small those little red mittens seemed in comparison with his I How blue her eyes were I There was no one looking just one kiss on those Hps created solely for the purpose "Starboard batteries commence firing 1" came the hoarse and relentless order from the darkness. ' A none too gentle kick brought the boy back to the Mackinaw, but her face looked at him for anMnstant out of the gloom. Starboard gun No. 1 again added its voice to the devil's chorus. The sky began to turn from black to gray. A Uhristmas present," said the gunner grimly as he Jerked the lanyard. - She Knew.

Cor. 2nd and Stark Sis., PORTLAND, ORECON Do Spiders Like Moslof It has often been said that spiders are fond of music, but a French Inves tigator, M. Lecalllou, now asserts that this is not true. He says that their musical sense must be attributed mere ly to greed or to hunger. When a fly Is caught in a spider's web it buzzes, and the spider immediately makes for the place from which the buzzing comes. M. Lecalllou, by experimenting with a violin, some flies, a piano, vio loncello and a cornet, found that only those musical sounds which resemble the buzzing of the files attracted the spiders. The cornet, for instance, in variably frightened It, and so did the piano. IH f I . . .
