LORD OF THE DESERT
By PAUL de LANEY.

mo, not to talk with him I only
saw him cnce, but do not think he
recognized me. 1 stopped at the
Stone House once. for water and saw
him there. 1 do not think he would
know me now" said the trapper.
But you say he seemed to know
my uncle?" replied Bertha.
mo, did not mean that" said the
trapper. "They appeared to know
something in common, or to un-
derstand one another in some way.
But that is also like a dream and
may have been mistaken"
After few moments of silence the
trapper continued: $50 that is my
whole story, so far as I know it. and
there is nothing out of the ordinary
about it. The novels I used to read
led me to believe that there was ro-
nance about everything in the west
but it is all alike to me- The daily
attention to the traps. the curing of
furs, the passing band of Indians, all
except the unfortunate events con-
nected with yourself and your father
are commonplace to me-"
Before the conversation was re-
newed there was a pounding on the
outer door of the structure, for it was
getting on toward midnight and the
door had been closed.
The trapper rose ard closing all ev-
idence Of room behind him wended
his way to the place of alarm.

A Question of Sex.

A bright little Washington girl. 4
years old, who is descendant of Co
bright, the veteran journalist of a dec
ade ago, shows a decided ability to
think and decide for herself quite up
to the standard of her brainy ances-
tor.
She was repeating her prapers at
bedtime recently, the Lords Prayer
first, and, as is her habit, winding up
with a petition for blessings on the
various members of the family of both
sexes. But this time, when she came
to the conclusion, she hesitated a mo-
ment as a new idea struck her and
then in a most devout tone added:
"Amen and a-womenr
"Why, daughter, you must not say
that! What did you say 'a-women'
for?' asked her mother in surprise.
WELL" replied the young philoso-
pher, didn't pray for women as well
as men ?"-Lippincott's

tie and horses and make way with
them before the arrival of his allies
was his purpose. and then besiege the
whites until his allies arrived and
then crush the enemy and divide the
remaining spoils.
And he was not slow In action
Dan Follett reached the Stone House
just after dark one night, and the fol-
lowing morning found Old Egan's
warriors around the entire premises
at safe distance from the loop-holes
of the outer walls, while detachment
of his men had driven away select
bands of horses ad cattle.
The first cowboy to go without the
enclosure that morning received an
unmistakable warning in the form of
feathered arrow which was battered
against the wall near his head. Then
he saw the war bonnets of the Piutes
protruding above the rocks and bou1
ders in every direction and rushed
back into the enclosure, followed by
a shower of arrows, and gave the
alarm.
There were about so of the inmates
all told and all owned revolvers, but
there were not more than half that
number of rifles. They were well
prepared for defense against an or
binary Indian attack, but it was not
thought safe to go into the open
against the odds that appeared be-
fore them in ambush. They made a
sally just before night, but in the
open the Indians had an advantage
from behind the rocks and fences and
the cowboys returned with some loss
in wounded.
It was then that the Lord of The
Desert decided to send for relief.
General Crook had recently arrived
at old Fort Warner and, expecting
that the Indians would guard the
trail toward this point, Martin Lyle
knew but one man that he could trust
to reach the Fort, and that was Will
liam Hammersley. He called for a
volunteer to carry message to the
trapper and Metzker, anxious to re.
turn to the trapper's abode was
quick to volunteer and was more
quickly selected to carry the mis-
sive. He had slipped through the
enemy's lines without mishap and
made his way to the trapper's quar-
ters bringing the trapper request
from the Lord of The Desert to go to
the government fort for aid at once
and promising him a liberal reward
for his trouble.

News From the Stone House

News From the Stone House.
Oscar Metzger, one of the surviv-
ing cowboys, and the one who had
been trusted with returning to the
Stone House on forming the compact,
was found at the door when the trap
per responded that night. He had
ridden the journey in great haste and
considered that the circumstances de
manded it.
All was tumult at the Stone House
Old Egan and his warriors had sur
rounded the place and would accept
no terms of peace. It was only
through an occasional gift by the
Lord of The Desert to the old chief
that he had kept on peaceful terms
with him so long for the old chief
had always considered the white
Grizzly" as he called him, a menace
to the Indians welfare and an en-
croacher upon his rights; besides
this. the horses and cattle of the
Lord of The Desert had always been
considered valuable prize and the
late improved guns and revolvers

at the foot of Ash Butte. In the
the Warm Springs warriors the con-
fession that Follett had come to the
Warm Springs camp and persuaded
them to embark in the enterprise
against the Piutes. The old chief
suspected this, but he wished to as
sure his warriors of the fact to make
them the more sanguine in the at
tack upon the Stone House.
On the night of their arrival at Ash
Butte strong guard had been placed
over Follett. but a stronger guard
had been placed about the horses.
which were also carefully corraled
that night. Both guards were in
structed to keep a vigilant watch, the
one to see that their prisoner escaped
and the other to see that he did not
secure a horse.
Late in the night Follett's guard
faxed sleep and the willy French
man crawled away as lightly as a cat.
When once in the darkness and alone
he looked about to secure a horse but
he saw the forms of Egan's warriors
silhoutted against the horizon when
ever he discovered the dark outline
of an animal. In making his last at
tempt to secure one of the animals,
and when he thought he was about to
be rewarded for his trouble, a war
rior shouted the Indian word for
coyote" and dozen arrows
"whished" in close proximity to him
Then he saw them sneaking in his
direction as if to surround him, and
he made away through the sage
brush, striking boldly out across the
desert, guided by the north star.
To add to his discomfort the In
dians had removed his hat and coat
and boots that night and he was now
a fugitive on the desert without
coat, hat Or shoes.
Old Egan had arranged his plans,
and history itself records the fact
that this old chief always laid them
well. Couriers had already been sent
to other allies of his tribe, while
scouts were put on Dan Follett's trail
to see that he went to the Stone
House.
These scouts had followed him,
climbing among the rimrocks by day
and observing him as he picked his
way across the plain, and then fol-
lowed by night. They had seen him
visit the trapper's abode. and had fol
lowed him on until he entered the
Stone House. In the meantime Ola
Egan had mustered his men and, two
hundred strong, had started for the
Stone House, while he expected as
many more allies to join him there
sooner or later. There were maraud-
ers among the Modocs and Klamaths
that he could count on, and he had
sent for these also.
The destruction of the power of the
Lord of The Desert had long been
contemplated and the time had now
come.
Egan was not slow to look after his
own interests. To arrive first upon
the scene and select a few of the
choicest cf the white Grizzly's" cat

He Rendered a Very Wise and Equit-
able Decision.
In a small town in one of the central
counties of New York State lives an
old German, who, because of the high
esteem in which he Is held in the COM
munity, was elected justice of the
peace. The old gentleman was once
called upon. says the New York Times,
to decide a most perplexing question.

chance came when he was returning

dog ran out and barked savagely at
him, and he fired at the animal. AS
his aim was bad, the dog escaped, yelp-

The owner Of the dog had his neigh
Dor brought before the old justice on q
charge of cruelty to animals, and the
courtroom was crowded with the par
tisans of both men. The justice heard
the charge and then the defense that
the dog was a dangerous animal and
menace to the neighborhood. The old
German cleared his throat and deliver
ed the dictum:

courtroom applauded the justice Of

Shaker DairyinR.


The Canterbury Shakers of New
Hampshire have some 1000 acres of
land, and the community numbers
about 100 persons. A large quantity
of dairy products is consumed by a
family of that size, and some years
ago with an ordinary dairy and meth
DDS, some butter had to be purchased
for home use. That necessity caused
more attention to be given to the dairy.
Poor cows were sold and more scien-
tific methods of feeding adopted. In
order to further improve the herd and
increase its butter capacity, two thor
oughbred Guernsey bulls were pur-
chased about four years ago from Mr..
Mixter's, of Barre, Mass. By constant
care, and the raising of the best heifer
calves, the dairy has steadily improv-
ed, until last season, with a dairy Of
forty cows, fifteen of which were two
year-old heifers, an average of 300
pounds of butter per COW was made.
Instead Of purchasing butter for home
consumption, $4,000 worth of butter
was sold and $1,000 worth of stock.
They have now about 120 head of cat
tie, sixteen of which are pure-bred
Guernseys. The sisters take entire care
of the milk after the milking is done,
run the separator, including the engine
which furnishes the power, care for
the cream and milk and make the but

THOUGHT 81, usHss WERE PAlNT

Motheriy Old Lady Was Severe on
the Girl Artist.
1t was an Seth street cross-town car
and the girl boarded it weighed down
with bundles. Enthusiastically she was
an artist, for she carried a paintbox
and a stretcher and under her arm was
tucked campstool.
1t didn't take Sherlock Holmes to
discover that she had been at work all
day and from the tired, overheated
look Of her face one would think she
had been working hard, too. People
began to cast furtive glances at her
and to speculate upon where she had
been painting and one or two immacu-
late gentlemen craned their necks po.
litely to see what was on the canvas.
But the girl saw only the continued
staring and suddenly sickening sense
of fear came to her. What if she had
got dab of paint on her somewhere
Fancy what a sight she must be with
a streak of green running zigzag down
the length of her nose, or indigo blue
disporting itself on her forehead. The
thought alone made her flush rosy red
A motherly looking old lady sat be-
side her. Ordinarily she was undoubt-
edly a pleasant-faced dame, but just
when the girl caught her eye she
glared furiously at that young offend
er. The girl felt her face growing
redder and redder. Undoubtedly it
was paint!
She could stand the suspense no
longer, says the New York Times, and
took out her handkerchief preparatory
to rubbing off the offending blotch
Putting the corner resolutely to her
mouth to moisten it, she leaned over
to the old lady beside her.
Pardon me-" she said, "but is there
any paint on my face?"
The old lady drew herself up in
stately fury. YES" she said curtly.
"Where?' came the tentative query.
"An over it, you little hussy," an
swered the enraged dame.

Il remember my first tour OF duty,
which was many years ago, and also
remember that it not only came near
being my last, but came near result
ing disastrously for me. Having been
sworn in and sent out to do police duty
without being instructed as to my

I was assigned armed with all the
