far up on the straining black neck, have

ding his head to Crane, and Jerking a thumb
out toward the FIRST turn in the course,
where the two horses we're hugging close to
the rail; that's the way he's worked here"
(Which one?" asked his companion.

eyes, for across the new green Of the grass
sprouted course he could see two open
lengths of daylight between Diablo and the
Dutchman.
"Fifty-one and a half for the half mile"
he impaired to Crane, locking at his watch.
Now the Dutchman is moving up; Colley

lacquer on the finest panel that Chinese
patience had ever made bright.
That's what I call the mirror Of health, "
said Langdon to him in an unwonted burst
OF poetic eloquencs, as he passed his hand
across the horses ribs. Then, feeling that
somehow he had laid himself open to a
suspicion Of gentleness, added, He's a

up to his looks he'd make som Of the

Even Diablo had resented either the
mellihuous comparison or the rub Of Lang

a great, far-reaching leg that nearly caught
Crane unawares.
Your polite language seems to be as
irritating to him as the blacksmith's

from the hasty retreat he had beaten.

LUCK AND LAzINESS

Luck tapped upon a cottage door,
A gentle, quiet tap:
And Laziness, who lounged within.
The cat upon his lap,
Stretched out his slippers to the
fire
And gave a sleepy yawn;
"Oh, bother! Let him knock
again.
He said. but Luck was gone .
Luck tapped again. more family
still,
Upon another door,
Where Industry was hard at work
Mendlng the cottage floor;
The door was opened wide at once.
Come in!' the worker cried.
And Luck was taken by the hand
And fairly pulled inside.
He still is there-a wondrous
guest
From out whose magic hand
Fortune flows fast, but Laziness
Can never understand
How Industry found such a friend;
Luck never came my way
He signs, and quite forgets the
knock
Upon his door that day.

The Indian child.

In tcpcc life the Indian child is
unique. 1t is given nothing to play
with except the toads that hop about
the tepee doors. 1t has no playmates
except those of it's own relation. and it
receives but few caresses from its par
ents. The squaw mother is in the habit
of putting her baby to bed at dark
they sleep In little sacks-thcn she
goes away to dance or something OF
that nature, leaving the child to its
own resources. If it cries, no one
comes to sooth it. So crying has come
to be almost unknown among these
children.
