tomorrow night, then there will be no
reason why / shouldn't do anything"
'Then you promise?" he asked her.
Doesn't Miss Burton look healthy
and strongY she answered.
There was confusion on the train
carrying the company from Drexel to
Denver before twenty-five miles of the
200 mile run over the mountains had
been covered. No prima donna was
on board, nor was there another train
reaching Denver before $50 that night
which was too late to hold a curtain
for any one. Miss Burton for the first
time that season had missed train
There seemed to be no other solution

carriage at 1O:20," reiterated the ad-
vance man to everybody. II couldn't
do anything more
at begins to look" said Ned, "as If
you might be forced to sing the part
tonight"
The managers thought SO too. She
was taken by them to the baggage car,
where trunks were hurriedly over
hauled. Miss Burton's costumes, she
knew, would not fit her. So they were
ruthlessly cut up and cut down again
to fit. In fact, she was so busy with
the gowns and the music, which she
ran over while she was not being tit
ted, that she was at the theater almost
before she had time to think Of any
thing, even Of Ned.
Denver didn't know that the very
pretty girl who got three encores for
the "Moon Song" was not Miss Burton.
Denver didn't know Miss Burton
anyway, so why tell it that it was
hearing an understudy? thought the
managers. But somehow, when the
dramatic men got back to their offices,
they found that some one had tele-
phoned during their absence that Miss
Burton had missed the train at Drexel,
and that they had heard her under
study.
1--WE trust" one Of them wrote the
next morning, chat Miss Bondhill, who
appeared in Miss Burton's stead last
night, will continue in the part during
the week. It would be hardly possible
to improve upon her work"
Miss Burton, greatly excited, arrived
at the theater in time to see the last
act.
sit seems to me-" she said, shat that
horrid cabman purposely missed the
train. It wouldn't surprise me to learn
that some one had bribed him to leave
me behind" she finished.
"Ned, did you hear what she said?"
the understudy whispered.
"It occurred to me at Drexel," re-
piled Ned blandly, that it might be
possible to do what she suggested was
done"
"Ned, you don't mean she began.
ST mean," he interrupted, when you

His Arduous Duties.

Captain Sigsbee tells of a converse
ton he once overheard between two
marines who were arguing as to who
had the least work to do on board a
man-of-war.
Its the chaplain" said the first.
"How'd you make that out?" asked
the second.
Because he amt got no work to do
and all day to do it in"
The second marine snorted his dis
gust. ''You amt got it right, Jack,"
said he "Its the cap'n of marines"
"How's that?"
'Well, me boy, as you say, the chap

Curing a Snake Bite.

This is how the Indians Of Contra
America cure a snake bite: They pin
the unlucky patient to the ground and
wind strong creepers above and below
the bite until they cut into the flesh
Then they apply live coal to the
wound to cauterize it and follow that
up by rubbing in mixture of chewed
tobacco and crushed garlic. BY this
time the victim is nearly mad with
pain and ready to kill everybody in

often does, that the snake was not

Attention


Why remain in the North and
stay indoors six months in the
year consuming what you raise
during the other six months?
Go south where you can work
outdoors. every month in the
year, and where you are pro-
ducing something the year
round. If you are stock rails
er you know your stock are
''eating their heads off" and,
besides, have to be protected
from the rigors of winter by
expensive shelter. Cost Of
production determines place of
production, and Alabama and
Florida can produce beef and
sheep cheaper than any other
state, and must become the
center of a great industry al
ready begun. Economical
stock feeding requires the COM
bination of both fesh-forming
and fat-forming foods in GER
tain proportions. Alabama
and Florida contain millions
of acres of unutilized cheap
range, and these lands when
cultivated produce in abund-
ance the velvet bean and cass-
ava, the first a flesh producer,
and the latter a fat producer;
and they are the cheapest and
best fattening materials known
to the world. If you are inter
