Neck Ruchss Are in Favor.

Neck rtches are now substituted for
high collars and the variety displayed
in the shops is endless. Some are made
of alternate double strips of black and
white tulle several inches broad and
plated very full in the center. Bows OF
black satin ribbon are added at the back
or sides and fastened in front. Black and
colored net embroidered with cream

Would you reckon that horse wanted

Well, we found our little Mary down
there in the swamp-jcst across the
bridge. She was tacl<in along at her
own gait, pickin flowers and shootin the
butterflies out of the path as she went.
/ stopped down, caught her by one arm,
and lifted her to my saddle bow, then
wheeled the horse and made for the up

and wantin to know what in the round

Long and Terrible Heat;

"A Long ana IerrtDlc Hcatf
A secont more, and the little gray
had wheeled in his tracks like top and
snapped ends for home. 1 give him
all the slack in the reins, dug my spurs
deep into his TANKS, and went off on the

must win this race and beat the freshet

breaks every bone in your body. Git
out of the woods and go!"
AS we shot down through the swamp
took notice Of the sious and branches
and lagoons fillin up with back water,
which the little gray cleared them at a
single leap, one by one, and still my
spurs was plowih deep into his bleedin
sides, But he was game-tead game;
game to the bone; and never foundefed
nor fiekered nor flinched. Seems to
me like he kept squattin and gettin
closter and closter to the ground
as he went plungin and tearin
along like storm ON wheels. Pres

and pulled through some mighty clost

find corn chops in the troft and fod.

stable.
Hit was in the spring time, and way
back there in the TOs; if my count
hint wrong, and we was farmin then
down on the Ccnecub river bottoms.
The rains had come tremendous heavy
and frequent. The river was full to the
briin, but she want sloppih over any
to speak of, and travellin was consid-
cred plum safe. Our little Mary was
nothin but spring pullet then, and
we had started her to school to one OF
the Cross girls over the river mile and
half, or maybe little better, from
home.
When we got up that mornin the sky
was clear as a bell, and the sun was
shinin and the birds singin and the bees
hummin. 1t had then been a clean "A
hours since any rain had fell on our
place, and it looked like nothin but fair
weather ahead. And little Mary she
was most crazy to git back to school,
sayin how she was now in her ABB Abs,
and if she missed another day she would
have to go foot and spell up, whilst
poke fun at her.
Il am awful skittish about lettin our
Mary off to school this mornin, Rufus"
says mother to me after breakfast, and
then she would like to know my private
opinions about the general circum-
ference of the surroundings.
LET the little one go to school," says
I. "She is all wrapped up in her books,
and it would most break her heart,
/ reckon, to go back and Spite out and
start over"
She is as smart and handsome as
her mother, and proud and high head
ed as her daddy, and by the Twin and
dead, she shall have all the schoolin
she will take
"Dut l am not feelin right easy in
regards to the water and the weather"
mother went on. "Sposinithe river takes
squirt and gifts out of her banks. And
that amt all. 1t mout rain to-day for
all know. My corns are hurtin awful
this mornin, and the weather is so
plunky, Rufus"
This Amt my time of year for
sposin," says ]. Life is too short and
time is too sloeerce. Let the. little one
go to school,"
Then mother lowed it would have to
be so, she reckpns, bein as 1 was the
general boss, but still she couldn't helm
from feelin little bit jubius in regards
to the river and the weather.
