O'Hara, have the men erect breastworks of rocks. Keep the picketi well in. Light no fire'. Easy does it." "Yes, sir!" the sergeant'' voice rang with confidence. O'Grady was raising Virginia's tent and slie watched him, feeling helpless and out of place, i woman io a man's world. She heard some- one step up behind her and knew it was Jim Randall. She turned slowly. His smile lay easily on his lips; his only wariness lay in the nar- rowness of his eyes. But, tr>o, his voice had lost its banter. « • * 'Did tho'c fellows give yo'^ • •«are, Virginia?" She dared thaw a little. H<* had, after all, just faced possible death.

His hesitation betrayed him. "Oh, tliey thought we might be talked out of some tobacco." "Tobacco!" She gave him a thin •mile. "Jim, you're still treating me like a child.

FOR THE BLIND, .i -pencil" which enables the blind to read a printed, paije, and a "flashlight" w't ' permits them to explore their sui idings, have been developed in a study of elecro^uic aids for the blind. The reading device, which resembles a pencil, scans any page of ordinary type. The blind person using it wears an earphone connected to the instrument. The device "reads," then "talks back" to the blind by transmitting sounds. The second electronic aid devel- oped, carried in the hand like a flashlight, is a substt^te for the tapping cane. The sounds, which vary with the nearness of objects, are transmitted to the blind per- son, allowing him to scan scenery, detect trees, rocks and water. t REEL FOR VACUUM CORD.
