Ia go back for her; but, first, he was
too poor To take the time. and after
ward the business world claimed him a.
its slave-its slave when most he felt
himself its master.
So the days passed by and he never
went back.
Then he hoard that another had won
her. and for IA moment j. Weedon Brad
shaw admitted To himself that he had
possibly made a mistake in life after
all.
In course of time he married his part
ner's daughter. He paid her bills,
treated her with respectful considera-
ton, and when she died regretted the
unfortunate circumstance. But her
face had Nd place ON the window. The
youth of the past was crying To the man
of to-day for reparation and would not
be silunced-
Why did you treat me so?" he cried
why did You stific my love. teaching
me thi. terrible. absolute indifference
to everything good or bad? Why did
you train me To think that money and
what money could buy was the best in
life and nothing else mattercd? What
have you given me in return for youth,
love and liberty?''
And Weedon bradshaw bowed his
head in silence Dead sea fruit.
Clearly he saw now, a. in the light
of MONDAY. the life he had missed.
The life of love and higher aspiration,
the abnesation of self that leads TO the
''larger heart the kindlier hand"
All this he saw, and Rroaned In
spirit
On through the night ruAhed the eI-
press; but side by side with il kept the
phantom train filled with the ghosts of
Weedon Bradshaw's past
The young bride had gone Ia sleep
with her head on her husbands shoulder
and the other passengers were in vari-
Gus stages of uncoNseiousness.
Suddenly violent, shuddering jerk
throughout the train-a mighty crash
and heaving, and then silence more ter
rible.
Silence for a moments space only,
however; then cries. questions, exclam-
ations-a wild confusion of tongues
The engine had jumped the track on
q down grade and half dragged the
baggage car with it; but the passenger
coaches were only badly shaken. 1t
would have been q terrible disaster but
for the quickness and nerve of the en-
gineer-he stopped the train In its own
length. but his lifo was the pricc.
The crowd grew silent they stood
about the wreck and that motionless
object now stretched upon the roadside.
They peered into each Others pale
faces. scarcely visible by the niclSering
light of a few lanterns carried in nor

Thank God. they were all safe-but
one man had given up his life for them.
Ne did his duty nobly," they said.
and then began To think how they could
continue their journey
IL was not that they were unfscling-
only ''practical;' there was nothing to
be done and they were In a hurry.
Only bradshaw remained standing by
the body-he felt shaken, unncrvod.

UNIFORMED CATTLE.
The "MuIey Cow" simply - Freak of
Nature

ihs huiey Oh
Nature
Everyone Is familiar with the ami
NAL which. in the country districts of
America. is called the ''muley cow" OF
as it is sometimes spelled. the moody
cow" She is an animal without horns
Generally snc mas not lost them, but
has never had them She has the rep
utatiou of being q very good milch cow,
but particularly ill-natursd-
Though at least one ''muley COW"
may bc found in most large herds, in a
great part of the country. and though
polled cattle. as hOrnless cattle are also
called. are sometimes exhibited at
fairs, it ha, never. probably, occurred
10 anyone until lately that . race of
hornless cattle ought to be bred or de-
velop-d on account of a greater econ
omy in raising and nourishing them.
Such notion, however. has been
broached by an American cRttle-raiser.
He maintains that, in raising young
horned cattle, and. for that matter, in
keeping grown-up cattle, a considerable
share of the nutriment given them goes
to their horns
The same gentleman argues that the
horns of domestic cattle are q relic of
defense associated with a wild life. and
arc now nG! only no longer needed, but
positively miscellaneous The horned
bullies of herd get more and the
weaker ones less than their share of
the fodder.
But how are the horns to be got rid
of? Regularly cutting of the horns of
young cattle viii not prevent subse-
qu.nt generations of young cattle from
developing hCrns as thoy grow to ma
turity. any more than the shaving of
mems boards for many generations
makes men beardless-
There is a way. however. in which it
could be done. A certain proportion of
cattle turn out to be hornlesa If only
such cattle wore used to breed from.
undoubtedly a great proportion OF their
offspring would be hornless, and in the
course of time a race of uniformed cat
tie would be produced-among which,
however. individuals with horns would
probably be even more common than
hornless cattle are now.
Domestication has undoubtedly re-
duced the size of cattle's horns consid-
erably. Under domestication, the horns
are much less used, and consequently
are inferior; but they are net got rid Of
altogether except in rare cases. and
then seemingly only by a freak Of No
ture.-fouth's Companion

born in 1890. the daughter Of Fabrizio
Colonna, great constable of the kingdom

Federico df Montefeltro, duke Of Urbine.
Vittoria belonged to one of the Oldest and
most illustrious families of Italy, who, in
the Eleventh century. became possessed Of
the feudal estate of La Colonna in the Tus-
culan hills, and made themselves famous
as soldiers and priests. At the age Of
seventeen Vittoria married Francis Deva-
los. son Of the marquis of Pescara, who
served with distinction in the armies of
Charles v, and in 1925 died Of the wounds
he had received in the battle Of Pavia,
where, as commander of the imperial
army, be greatly contributed to the glori-
Gus victory over the French. Vittoria
Colonna, who was inconsolable for the
death of her husband, determined on spend
ing tho remainder Of her life in religious
seclusion. although various proposals of a
second marriage were made to her. Her
contemporaries, among them Michael An
gelo and Ariosto, extolled her beauty, her
talents and her virtue. and her poems, en-.
titled Rhine della divina Vittoria Colon
ma di Pescara," were greatly admired. and
have often been reprinted. Vittoria Co
lonna died at Rome in l547, and her poems
upon religious subjects, Rhine Spirituale
di Vittoria Colonna," were published at
Venice in 1548.

Ashow window Crashed.

Smith one of them dropped hammer from
the scaffold and cracked the large plate
glass show window. 1t was not taken out
at once. Yesterday afternoon c. A. Ryer
and C. D. Bullock went into the window
for the purpose of taking out the glass. 1t
was very shaky, and both gentlemen de-
cided to vacate the window. They had
hardly done so before someone in the store
opened the rear door and this produced a
draft strong enough to blow in the window
The huge glass, ten feet by fifteen, was
shattered into thousand pieces. 1t is un-
usually thick, and had Messrs Ryer and
Bullock remained in the window a minute
longer both would undoubtedly have been
Killed. The display in the window was not
damaged to any great extent.
