THE TENNIS SKIN.
How tho Young Ladies Return from
Their Summer Outing.

How the Young Ladies Return from
Their Summer Outing.
A well-known physician said the
other day: Among the young women
returned from their summer outing is
more than ever noticeable what is now
known as the tennis skin. IL is ex.
tremely beautiful and was almost un-
known among women Of previous
generation. IL Is as smooth and pol
ished as satin, 1ne and close in texture
as ivory, is clear, delicate biscuit in
color, transparent and with the rich
color showing through rather than
lying on the surface. Il gives the inn
preston, also, of exquisite cleanliness.
1t is the result of sunlight and fresh
air and the healthful process Of cleans
ing every pore OF the skin daily with
perspiration. Nothing can cleanse the
skin like the moisture that flows
through it from warm, quick-1owing
blood. No water put on the outside
has like effect to the water that
comes from the inside. This is the
reason why it is called the tennis
skim" because the girls who play ten
mis- wash out their skin with perspira-
ton at least once day. There is
another sort and very beautiful one
It is, known among the girls as "a
Turkish bath skin" That comes from
thoroughly sweating, too, but, while II
is very lovely, like 1t less than the
tennis skin, because the flesh and the
muscles are not made as firm beneath
it as by that outdoor exercise and
therefore the contours underneath 1t
are less round and smooth and II does
not wear so we'll; wind and sun injure
It, 1t is given 70 fresh winds chapping
and hot winds make II dry and forid,
while the tennis skin il warranted TO
stand anything and keep It's beauty.
The Turkish bath skin is velvety
rather than aatiny and the rose-leai
and sea-shell sort Of tints, all pink and
white instead Of brown and red. But
II Is very pretty.-Wayerley.

THE BROAD BREAST OF HER PROTECTOR.
I'll stand by and come in on the
choruses."
"Then you'll need to kneel down,
and me, too" she said, laying the
shawl out for that purpose. You've
got to put your hands up like this. 1t
makes you feel kind of good"
1t was a strange sight, had there
been anything but the buzzards to SEQ
it. Side by side on the narrow shawl
knelt the two wanderers, the little,
prattling child and the reckless, hard
ened adventurer. Her chubby face
and his haggard, angular visage were
both turned up to the cloudless
heaven in heartfelt entreaty to that
dread being with whom they were face
to face, while the two notes.-the one
thin and clear, the other deep and
harsh-united in the entreaty for mercy
and forgiveness. The prayer finished.
they resumed their seat in the shadow
of the bowlder until the child fell
asleep, nesting upon the broad breast
of her protector. He watched over
her slumber for some time, but nature
proved to be too strong for him. For
three days and three nights he had
allowed himself neither rest nor re-
pose. Slowly the eyelids dropped over
the tired eyes, and the head sunk
lower upon the breast, until the mans
grizzled beard was mixed with the
golden tresses of his companion, and
both slept the, ssme deep pnd dream
less slumber.

PART II.
Tas Country Of ns Soists
CHAPTER L

ON THE GREAr AI.KALI PLAN
In the central poreion of the great
North American continent there lies
an arid and repulsive desert which for
many long year served as barrier
against the advance of civilization.
From the Sierra Nevada to Nebraska
and from the Yellowstone river in the
north to the Colorado upon the south
is u region Of desolation and silence.
Nor is nature always in one mood
throughout this grim district II com
prises snow-capped and lofty noun
tains and dark and gloomy valleys.
There are swift-howing rivers which
dash through jagged canyons, and
there are enormous plains which In
winter are white with snow and In
summer are gray with the saline alkali
dust. They all preserve, however, the
common characteristics of barrenness,
inhospitality and misery.
There are no inhabitants OF this land
of despair. A band Of Pawnees or of
Blaclfeet may occasionally traverse II
in order TO reach other hunting
grounds, but the hardest Of the braves
are glad TO lose sight of those awesomO
plains, and to find themselves once
more upon their prairies. The coyoto
slSullSs among the scrub, the buzzard
flaps heavily through the air, and the
clumsy grizzly bear luInbers through
the dark ravines, and picks up such
sustenance as IL can among the rocks.
These are the sole dwellers in the will
derness.
In the whole world there can be no
more dreary view than that from tho
northern slope of the Sierra Blanco-
AS far as the eye can reach stretches
the great fiat plainland, all busted over
with patches of alllali, and intersected
by clumps of the dwarfish chaparral
bushes. On the extreme verge OF the
horizon lies long chain of mountain
peaks, with their rugged submits
hecled with snow. In this great
stretch of country there is no sign Of
life, nor Of anything appertaining TO
life. There In no bird In the steel-blue
heaven, no movement upon the dull,
gray earth-above all, thoFe Is absO-
iute silence. Listen "a one may, thoro
IS no shadow Of . sound In all that
mighty wilderness; nothing but silence
complete and heart-subduing silence.
II has been said there is nothing ap-
pertaining 70 life upon the broad
plain That Is hardly truo. Looking
down from ths Sierra Blanco. one sees
. pathway traced out scross the desert,
which winds away and Ia lost in tho
extreme distance. IL is rutted with
wheels and trodden down by the feet
of many adventurers- Here and there
are scattered white objects which
glisten In tho sun, and stand out
against the dull deposit of alltalL Ap-
proach and examine themi They are
bones; some large and coarse, others
smaller and more delicate. The for
mer have belonged to oxen, and the
