Courage of a Cowboy.

speaking of the daredevil charac
terislics OF Western cowboy )" sid an
old plainsman, 81 recull al adv, nture
that might have proved fatal 10 myself
and man named Henry but tor The
great presence of mind displayed in an
emergency by NY cool-ht AIDED compau-
ion. The incident happened ia Mon
tana three years ago last spriug. We
were travelling along narrow lrail on
the border of the Grand ROnde River
when we suddenly came TO land. de
that was about twenty-five feet across
and left no trail in the smooth, precipi-
tous rock. The trail was so narrow
that our horses could not turn back,
and, realizing that it would be folly to
expect the animals to jump the chasm,
it looked as though we were trapped
But directly above the twenty fve-foOt
break in the trail there was a huge rock
which was split in the center. Herry
saw the crack in the rock, and having
a strong RATA seventy feet long on his
saddle, be coiled it up, steadied him
self in his saddle, swung the rope over
his head and then hurled it high in the
air. Being an expert in the use of the
RATA, it went true to the mark, and was
soon firmly fixed in the crevice of the
rock.
"Whie l was wondering what he
was going to do with the rope, he took
in the slack and wound it around the
horn of his saddle, which was very
strong and supplied with double cinch-
es. Then he urged his horse to the
edge of the precipice.
"The faithful beast stood firm. de
would not step over, but Henry again
drew up the slack and pulled with all
his might. Inch by inch he drew the
sraining horse forward till his feet
clipped and he swung over the yawn-
ing chasm. For moment | held nv
br ath and shut my eyes, expecting to
hear the slender rope snap and its bur,
den disappear into the raging river be-
low.
"When 1 did open my eyes he had
swung across the gap, and, dismount-
ing, he backed up the trail and tugged
at the reins to aid the horse in gaining
his feet. He pulled hard and the ami
NAL lunged up into the trail, with the
chasm far behind.
"Safe on the other side, Henry urged
me to make the perilous trip in the
same way he had done. For some time
l couldn't muster up the necessary
courage, but at last, when 1 realized
that there was no other way of continu-
ing the journey, consented to swing
myself across the chasm. After land
ing on the other side Henry returned
for my horse, and having swung the
horse safely across the gap, we rode
away and left the rope dangling for the
use OF the next wayfarer who CHANGED
to come that way."-Sunday Sun.

Signor Bartolo to keep you buster, so
that you may not have time TO creep
round the house worrying the ladies'"
The kitchen lad, or narmiton, as he
is called in large establishments, looked
boldly at Zpe's proud face and shrugged
his shoulders derisively. The Greek
girl had often hurt his feelings by maxi
ing fun of his childish admiration be-
fore the other servants, and now tho
hour OF revenge had come.
"Signor Bartolo?" he asked, with
feigned astonisbment. "He will scarce
be able to find time to listen 10 madem-
oisel e's complaints. / only wanted to
ask Mile. Zoe to come into my humble
room, where the window looks out on
the Municipal garden, go that at least
she may see the happy couple on their
way back. 1t is too bad," he continued
grinniDg, "too bad that mademoiselle
did not see the proce ssion on the way
to church. Signor Bartolo, so hand
some and elegant, and his bride, tue
prettiest girl in Constantinople, in a
gown of heavy white silk fit for
princess"
z Je's forehead was knit in anger,
and she interrupted the marmitou's elJ-
quence with scorn ul laugh.
"Signor BarIolo's brother's bride,
you mean, mon gsrconl Another time
open your eyes wider you want 10
tell any one who the bridegroom was"
With this she tried to shut the door,
saying impatlently, IL advise you in
lies If you don't want the cook to box
your ears"
But the marmiton had not yet ex.
hausted his supply of malice. His face
flushed crimson, and putting his foot
against the door to prevent its closing,
he pulled piece of paper out of his
pocket, and, holding it close to Zoe's
eyes, he spluttered out:
1.-The cook won't he back until late
this evening. Here is his wedding in
vitation to the wedding OF Signor Bar

left of masters dinner, as he does not
count upon any great hospitality at the
porter's iather-in-law. Is it possible
that Mile. u e really knows nothing
about it all?" he continued, with as
sumed ignorance, seeing the eyes of
the Greek girl gazing stonily at the pa.
per. "But Sisnor Bartolo told all the
household t, day how generous madem-
moiselle has been to lend her beautiful
gown to his bride. He has ordered me
to call for it tomorrow early in the
morning, for be has given up his place
here and is going to help his father-in-
law in his small business, and trust
that some of the wedding sweetmeats

The laxative boy got no further. The
numbness that seemed to have seized
Zoe suddenly vanished. With one
shove she pushed the bearer of ill It'd
ing away and locked the door behind
him.
She was alone with her disappoint-
ment, her shame, her anger. Let us

HOW TO USE CELERY AND LET
TUCE ECONOMICALLY.

.
These wholesome and valuable vege-
tables are in great demand at this sea-
son of the year
To many people they seem like luxu-
ries, for the price is usually high, and
they are of a perishable nature. Much
of their substance Is wasted often from
ignorance as to the best ways of keeping
them, and of using some parts which
are generally considered not edible.
CELERY.
1t Is a pity that market gardeners can
not find something to use in place of the
nail which is often driven through the
best part of the stalk and spells it for
the table. Much of it is also brought to
market before it is thoroughly blanched
and is consequently bitter. In selecting
celery look for a bunch that is close and
compact, rather than sprawling, and
that has a quantity of fresh blanched
leaves, only half opened, and the stalks
thick and firm.
Remove the nails, cut off the root and
trim off the hard outside part. The root
If tender is very sweet in a salad. but if
tough it may be used to flavor soup
stock.
Separate the stalks and wash them
well but do not scrape them to remove
the rusty portions, unless you are to use
1t at once, for scraping off the outer skin
makes the stalk decay more quickly.
If the celery be wilte1 let it remain
in the cold water some time. Lay aside
the inner stalks and the lower end of all
that are white and tender, alsl all the
yellow or blanched young leaves. Wrap
them in a wet napkin and put them in the
refrigerator, or In cold place where
they will not freeze. and use these ror-
ton for salads, scraping them off before
serving. They will keep in the napkin
fresh and crisp for a week or ten days,
by changing the napkin occasionally
Cut the stalks into inch pieces, put
them into boiling water and cook until
tender. Then drain, reserving the wa
ter for soup or to drink as celery tea,
and serve the celery dressed with butter,
salt and pepper, or with a white sauce.
The delicate yellow leaves of the cell
cry make one of the prettest garnish-
ings and may be used in place of lettuce
as the basis of salads. Cut them fine and
mix them with an equal amount or more
of sliced apple, moisten with a French
or mayonnaise dressing, and you will
have a dainty and delicious salad.
LETTUCE.
Lettuce is also allowed to waste un-
necessarily. 1t is not always possible
to select a close, compact head, with a
large portion of light, curly leaves, but
when your specimen has many loose
tough leave. do not throw them away.
Wash them and nip off any part that
shows signs of decay. Rinse each leaf
separately to be sure it is free from grit,
lay the inner leaves, such as may be used
for a salad in regular order in q wet
napkin, and put them away in a cold
place. Break up the tough outside leaves
and cook them until tender in boiling
water, as you do any greens. They may
be cooked with the blanched celery leaves
and tough stalks, then drained, chopped
and seasoned with butter, salt and pep
