much aurpriio and a great deal of curiosity about the folnre mrs levett were felt ooly one of the officers in his regiment bad seen the brideelect and that waa younfl donaldson levetta moat intimate friend he wag the senior lleutenm levett at the time tbo engagement was announced wag senior captain bat ha waa expecting his majority whiob would filvo ldonalihon a step arthur donaldson waa a ver smart soldier fair blight in balld bat remarkably handsome while jack loiott wbb over tix feet and proportionate ly broad dark and not particularly rood looklug tho two men were as unlike io character asm appearance donaldson was a genial fellow a preat talber very fond of society particularly that of the gentler eex never so happy as when be was off duty aud quite fluttaned with being the bebt dancer in tho regiment at tjrat ho was enthutflastio in his praise ol levetta fiancee and neyer wearied of talbiug of her beauty and her various aocoruplibhracuts she waliged divinely leyet t by the way was not a dancing man she vme equally good at golf and tennis in short j l were oply a nrlaa nfgnmm mabel lawaon would have taken moat of tbo prizie by degrees donaldson ceased talfalog about her and the other men oonoladed eoroo of bis own flirtations had driven the tboaglit of her out of bis head mean while levett was only waiting fill he got his majority to ask bis bride to came the day he was gazetted in april and the- weddingday wbb fixed for the 13th of may tn unlucky month and an nnluofey num ber boma of his friends told him and arthur now oaptain donaldson was to be bis best man reserved as jack levett was ho could not mdo even from bis acquaintances tbat ho was desperately in l once whei moment to him audi the colonel fearing that perhaps ho binxsolf intended to leave the regiment remarked that tho letter had not bono jet and that if levitt desired he would make it rhaobf stronger by no means i have not the slightest wish in the matter i shall remain myself and nnloeb donaldsons own feelmgb prompt him to ex change it strikes me as wiser to let him remain but tho proba bility is he will exchange on reflection tho colonel udoptod this course more particularly beoaneo levitt seemed to desire it and the letter was not sent but to bia dlbguat ouptain donald son returned at the end of june with his bride and tried to ignore the cold reception he met with major lovott went for bis long leave a day or so before donaldsons return so that nearly fonr months from the wedd fogday would elapse beforo the deceivers and tho deceived met as the day ot major lovetta return approached the golooot began to fear that perhaps bo intended to call donaldson out or horsewhip him or avenge himself in aomo way for the treachery of which his former friend had been guilty levetta habitual reserve made it exceedingly diffi cult to forecast bis conduct although he had been twenty years in the regiment not orjeof his brother officers contd fath om his feeling in lbs matter or even guess what course ho would pursue toward his betrayer fortunately perhaps for all parties the regiment was ordered to south africa to quell one of the riainga of some of the native tribob a day or two before major levett returned ao that io tbo excitement of the near prospect of aotive service and in the bustle of preparation less heed was given to the private affairs ot tho two men it was however noticed that major levett merely greeted donaldson as a moat caaual miae laweon bad dome slight ailment he was lilio u man distracted ijill he was as sured she was quite well again he was not- a rich man by any means but he lavished gifts upon her tbat he could only afford by cutting down his own expenditure and in furnishing bid house every whim of hers was consulted sod his own comfort and taste offered op as a etc ritice to her somewhat to the surprise of the colonel captain donaldsou asked to take bis long leave in may and june that year bat his request was granted and he left portland for boo hand on the first of may promising to bo in london to support major levett on the occasion of his wedding on the nu- luoky thirteenth major liovetts leave did not begin till the twelfth and on the morning of that day white ho was giving his servants in structions about the time ho intended to start lio took op the newspaper and the jlrat thing tbat caught his eye was the an nouncement of his friend donaldsons mar riage thla would itself have been suffici ently atirtling but when he saw the lady he badt married was his own brldcolect mabel xawson it is perhaps not uurprle- ing that the 0rst exolamatlon rung from jilmjo the momeutwlll not bear repeating uis servant who badt never beard him swear before was startled but on glanc ing at tho pale drawn face of his master ho saw something bad happened and quietly left the room he heard the major look tho door after him and he made a shrewd guess lboy would not go to london tbat day ror two hours not a sound cams

to tbe exeoution done by our men among them belaotantly major xeyett turned his back to the foe and rode in the rear of he retreating regiment he passed dead and dying on his way bat there was no time to stop the enemy wero jorening them and he was ever urging oa ibe flcoing men now and again a bullet whizzed past him and once or twice ho saw a man fall nevor to rise again their camp was about mile from bim when he noticed an offioer limping along at some distance in front ot bim evidently wounded he waa not near enough to boo who it was and before bo had recognized him the man fell to the jpoand levett sparred his horn and riding to bis aide reigned up and aaw it was oaptain donaldson who wsb eot in tbo leg and was binding bia faandkerobief around it for a moment ho paused his hoar of vengeance had come a detauhment of the enemy was coming close it was quite easy for him to esoape on horseback it was impossible for donaldson to do so even supposing bo bad tbe strength to limp into camp ho was groaning wbon major lovett readied bim j and his bandaorno face pate with buffering grew paler when he saw himself alone face to faco with the man be had wronged one moment only lovelt hesitated thou he took his rovenge lie dismounted and bridle and nflo iu hand approached donaldson mount my horse qui ok you have only juat tlmo ill give ou a hand and putting dowu iiib rlflo bo half lifted donaldson on to his horse and you said donaldson rolualanlfy i am rovenged llldo for joar life said levett and ho startod tho horse and turning picked up his riue and faced tho advancing foe who were now close upon him he stood his ground bnuoly and fought as men will light when fco io face with death more like wild ttnimalb than men bat they wore too man for him and he fell covered with

today have a 13iuch bore tbo projootilo for a gun like this weighs 1100 pounds and a charge of powder amounting to 500 pounds is ignited behind it the shot aoqaires a muzzle velocity ot about 2000 feotr pur aooiid few people have arty notion ot the energy that ie here represented our contemporary asks its readers to think of a locomotive engiue weighing 100- 00o pounds this is fifty tens now it the locomotive were moving at the rateol forty miles aa hoar its energy would be scarcely more than ono thirteenth that ol tbo can nonball in other words if thirteen locomotives were to bmash up bgatost a stonewall all at once tho blow whioh ihay would deliver would be no moro severe than tbat of ona shot from the 13inoh gun assuming tbat the muzzle of tbe latter was placed only a few inches from tbo same wall inasmuch as tbe projectile would bo am all ft would concentrate it aution on one bpot and do more harm apparently than tbo thirteen engines but tho monnt of energy would be the same in ono case there would be a email mass and a high veiooity and in the other a large mass and a comparatively low velocity forty miles an hour ib a pretty good speed for a locomotive but not for a cannon bill the momentum uf a moving object is com puted by multiplying tbe weight by the velocity and this wis douo in the very suggestive and burprislug calculation here quoted it has been estimated
