For a week, Moira, in her role of

nurse, spent most of her days at the
Post. While she was kindness itselt
-to La Marr and anticipated most of
his wants, there was no doubt that her
real interest was in the sergeant. A
tlose friendship sprang up as they
found many interests {n common and
exchanged life stories with endless
detail. “At that each had their men-
tal reservations. Nothing the girl
said, for instance, threw any light on
her real reason for making her unsea-

he was hopelessly in lové.

Her attitude was made easy by the

The handsome factor was not held
back by any sense of poverty, which
is felt perforce by anyone who had lit-
tle but his «police pay, a far from
princely dole. Karmack was as per-
Bistent as circumstances and Moira
would permit; quite too impetuous, in
fact, for the comfort of one whose in-
terests were divded.

For a time, the girl was put to it to

First Printing By Movable Type

Proof that the invention of printing,
usually ascribed to a European, came
from China, has been found by Thomas
Francis Carter, of the Department of
Chinese at Columbia University, he
announces.
Up until this time the question of
whether the {nyention of printing in
Europe by Gutenburg was made inde-
pendent of its invention in China cen-
turles earller, has been a matter of
conjecture. “
The exact date of the discovery of
printing in China {fs not known, Prof.
Carter says. The earliest printing of
which there {s authentic knowledge
was done in Japan about 770 A.D., at
the instigation ofa woman. The Em-
Dress Shotoku, to save her soul, print-
ing 1,000,000 Buddhist charms. A
number of these charms are still ex-
tant.
The oldest known printed book, ac-
cording to Prof. Carter is the Diamond
Sutra, which dategfrom §63 A.D. The
printing of the Diamond Sutra and the
Buddhist charms was made by use of
block prints, similar to our wood cuts.

Gang Tore Up and Replaced 29 Miles

What {fs claimed as a wonfi's record
for re-laying vails was established by a
crew of men on the Canadian Pacific

29.7 miles of old 85-pound rails and re-
placed them with new. © There were
220 men in the gang. “ The feat is said
to be one of the most remarkable rec-
orded in railroading history. The
first day the men laid 14.7 miles, and
the second day they cofipleted 15
miles. According to all available rec-
ords, the former Ganadian record was

Americans the other. , The keen riy-

resulted in this remarkable achieye-
ment. The Canidian gang kept’ pace
