Detur went to the riding school
where Quart and Champagne were
kept at daylight the next morning.
1t was a cool day.
Detur held rein in each hand, and
cooingly al. ed the horses to take
heart.
Quart looked at Champagne. See,
what cinch he is. What'l we do to
him?" he asked.
Champagne gave three-inch wink.
"Aw, wait till we get i'm out in the
country. These little French boobies
would stop US here, yunno."
Out in the country the horses
stopped at the first good grass and
commenced to nibble. Detur cooed at
them to hasten. Then he made all the
noises he had ever heard were suitable
for cajoling recalcitrant horses into
motion, from a kissing sound to a
"get up" His voice was sweet and
gentle as a Llaiden's.
No good. Detur thought the horses
might be more obedient to firm but
kindly tone. He used the same noises
all over again. No good. Detur spoke
the words over quite abruptly No

toned to a slight blow of the whip" he
thought.
Champagne f1icked the lash off his
back with his tail as Detur drew it
gently across. The French boys
laughed. Detur felt the unaccountable
sensation of rage. For some reason,
he knew not why, he saw that his tie
was becoming disarranged, and that
his coat was gathering up under his
arms. All the blood had gathered in
front of his eyes, and he hated Cham
payne with the hatred of the fends of
darkness.
He gently drew up his right sleeve;
then stood up in the wagon. He
reached the whip back over his Shout
der and brought it down with every
pound in him across the backs of the
two horses.

his disease invariably appears in

promptly it either stunts their growth

Sore mouth, swelling of the jaws, with
white, sometimes light brown, scabs,
which later show deep cracks. The
scabs and cracks are found on the
snout, extending over the head and
even to the body and limbs. In some
cases an ulcer will form at the end of
the snout and eat away part of the
nose. In other cases the ears may be
affected and drop Off There is dull

Duke, in New England Homestead. The
young pig must first be attended to by
dipping the entire head in one of the
following solutions: Permanganate
OF potash, one ounce; dissolve in one
half gallon of water; or creoline or
chloro-naphthol one ounce to one-half
gallon of water. These solutions
should be applied three times at inter-
walls OF two or three days. Before
using the solutions remove as far as
possible all dirt from the snout of the
pig, or larger amount of the solu-
ton will have to be used to get good
results. The sow's udder should also
be washed with one of these solutions
two or three times. Distinction of
the narrowing pens with hot lime wa
ter should also be performed as it has
been noticed that litters narrowed in
the same pen at different times have

TheReformation
of a Good Man g
BY ERHnc1s PETERSON.
.ETUR was an artist by birth and
I ! hrendinr- profession and prefer

DETUR was an artist by birth and
breeding, profession and prefer
ence. Through constant association,
his temperament had become much
like that of an artist. Nevertheless.
he should not have been one, for he
had the nature of a fighting man.
But he never knew it until it was al
most too late.
A woman taught him he had made
a mistake in his choice of a path
through the maze of life. She did not
know she was teaching him, and he
never knew he was learning, but they
both talked it over Understandings
afterwards.
Detur was in Paris, painting. She
was in Paris, shopping. They met at
the American ambassadors. They
found soon that their views Of things
were entirely different.
He was born in Boston, of people
who worshiped the beautiful as re-
Iigion. Everything in the house was
part of a study in effects. Nothing too
much was there, and nothing too lit
tle-and least according to the creed
Of the particular school of art in which
the Deturs were both pupils and teach
ers. The child never raised his voice,
and never heard anybody else. He
breathed Wagner, and drank the Pre-
raphaelites, and took his play in
Browning. The red blood was grad
ually driven out of his veins because
he took as his playmates dead geniuses
instead of live boys.
She came from San Francisco. Her
father was a big man with a beard,
who knew ore, and steamships, and
cattle, and railroads, and real estate;
who used to drink raw whisky and
smoke a clay pipe, but who now drank
brandy and smoked big black cigars.
He had hearty voice and bass laugh,
and a powerful grip to his hand.
His daughter, whose name was
Bertha, was like him in good many
ways though, of course, she was

Detur brought the whip three times
more across the backs of the animals,
which had broken into mad run.
''J'll show you'll" he screamed bring
ing down the lash again and again. All
the repressed anger of his lifetime
poured forth in the outburst. All the
curses he had ever heard, which had
been stored away unconsciously in
some remote corner of his brain
sprang to his lips and seethed out
across the dashboard, around and
about the runaway horses.
The wagon ran the near wheel into
the ditch and tilted up SO that it almost
went over. con my soul, this is joy!"
yelled the driver 81 never knew what
life was before. Ihave only read about
other people living. This is life. 1 am,
am, ami" he shouted in delirious en-
thusiasm at his birth into the big
world
Finally he pulled the steaming team
into Versailles. There he sat down at
one of the tables just outside of a
French cafe and called for a glass Of
beer. 1t was his first drink, but he liked
it and had four more.
When he got back to Paris he went
first to barber shop and got his hair
cut short and a clean shave. Then he
threw away his flowing bow tie and put
on straight blue four-in-hand. He
took the stoop out of his back and the
drawl out of his speech.
Then he walked briskly instead of
listlessly over to see Bertha. "Hello!"
he said. and his voice was an octave
deeper and hearty. ''We had a great
time getting over there, but we did. I
guess the teams lame, though
"Wh-wh-what," said the girl. "Do
my eyes deceive me? Whence all this

Detur came out of the old mans
room about half an hour later, smiling,
with big black cigar tilted ceiling

'Well, if you can smoke one of those
torches the first time you ever tried
with such apparent satisfaction, sup
pose it is a real metamorphosis-
[ suppose I'll have to take you on pro-
bation,'' she whispered.
''This is my second cigar. Said to be

the first time you try them. The
old mans fixed all right. / hope
you don't object to the smoke, for I'm

quite feminine. She could ride, and
drive, and sing, and dance-and only
the gods have been able to estimate
how well she could firt.
Detur and Bertha surveyed each
other with interest, after they had
met couple of times. Each was sure
that the other one had such an entire
" mistaken idea of things. The keen
wits of each were turned against the
other-frst with an idea of making
game, then of converting the antag-
onist who had proved so worthy of
steel
In the course of time Detur fell in
love with her. She was interested, but
despised his art and his sissifed ways.
''You have the feminine qualities in
their excellence" she said. "And that
is why / could not think of it. Some
thing in you calls for an answer from
me, but l am sure l don't know what
it is. You speak of the beautiful
and the soul of some inanimate OBJ
iect, and the sin of house that is
not made according to your ideas, and
you look as if you were going to cry
when hand organ starts up an opera
air. You're too much of a sensitive
plant for me. You never would be
satisfied with steak and coffee and
fried onions for breakfast, and that is
what you'd get sometimes"

a soft voice, sis it that you think me
less worthy because l do not defile my
lips, which were given to me to tell
you of my love. with coarse oaths, such
as flow from the men you would hold
before me as an example?
"Would you have me introduce into
my veins the destroyer which turns

tinguishes the purer breath of the

"Would you have me exhibit toward
dumb and unprotecting animals the
barbarism which burned in the men of
Yesterday and which should have
burned itself out in us? All, no;

of these things. They are not really
manly things, as you mistakenly
think, nor part of the life of the truest
men"
''Have you ever done any of those
things concerning which your voice is
ripping so melodiously Mr.. Detur?''
interrupted the girl abruptly, ''and do
you know that I'd like it better if it
were not so melodious?"
''Most assuredly I never have, and
most assuredly I never will" he said.
''WeIl, then, most assuredly l never
