Once, as the drifting and binding snow
broke away up the mountain, / saw
Canada Joe with his head bent down in
the storm still pushing on ahead of me
at safe distance. A few moments
after, as | crossed and climbed the far
tbest bank of an ugly canyon, the two
roDDeTs came close enough to hail me.
One of them held up bottle. They
evidently intended to overtake me If
they could, and profess to be friendly.
This must not allow. l urged my am
bilious horse to his best. But. TO my
dismay, as fastened up narrow pass,

ada Joe. This low-browed black fellow
was reported to he the worst man in all
that country. And that was saying he
was bad indeed.

to think fast. My first plan was to ride
forward and face this man before the
others came up. But l was really
afraid of him. 1t seemed a much easier
task to turn and kill the two rear men
and get back to town. But, no! No!
All this was abandoned almost as soon
as thought of. In those days even the
most desperate had certain rights which
their surviving friends would enforce.

not take to the left, gain the plateau by

me inside? l rose up in my saddle with

spurs to my brave horse, was soon

"wHAT LOVELY BIG EARS
The Ruling Sign of Beauty Among
the Women of BorneO.

Louisville Post.
Among the tribes of Borneo the men
and women wear very little clothing.
The former always carry the arms.
They are very warlike and always ready
to pick quarrel, especially when in
toXicated by beverage which they
manufacture from the root OF peculiar
tree.
They have a custom like that of the
American Indian. They always pre-
serve the head of their victim as a
trophy. Hence the name Head Hunt
erS." As many as fifty human skulls
often hang from the natives roof.
The Dyak tribe women have liking
for particular marks. They consider it
great addition to ones beauty to have
the lobe of the ear touch the shoulder.
They pierce the ear and attach heavy
weights to hold il down. The weight
is gradually increased. Should the ear
break, no greater misfortune could hap
pen.
They believe that great spirit exists
in the different kinds of birds that
abound on the island. The Dyaks have
a certain cote of traditional laws, ac-
cording to which all crimes are punished
and their various disputes settled. Pun
ishments are usually paid by fines in
the form Of plates, jars and similar ar
ticleS. They have craze for old jars,
and pay immense sums of money for
them.

With sweet flushed face upturned to mine,
she stood,
question shining in her soft brown eyes
Those eyes whose glance had never failed to
charm,
And whose great power most willingly l

Since in them such tender lovelight lies.
She stood beside me, gentle, pure and sweet,
And laid her hand detaining ON my arm,
Half hestatins. as if 10th TO speak,
And yet as if compelled to speak her mind
Her rounded figure. full of supple grace
Her soft, dark hair, low on her gentle brow,
Her fair flushed cheeks, her dainty morning
gown,
Impressed me with her girlish loneliness.
Swayed by her charms into her eyes
gazed,
As if to read the secret. half disclosed,
Which yet she was reluctant to reveal
Silent she stood moment then with voice
As sweet as ripping music from flute,
With gentle dignity, she said: MY DEAR
