She was young woman Of twenty and

girl, ''but if you have come to arrest
him it is an outrage. Is it about the
cow?'
cit is, miss"
"Then let me tell you that while my
father may have broken the law, he
has been guilty Of no crime. He sold
the COW to a man who meant to cheat
him out Of the price, and discovering
this he took possession and drove her
back home If the man has sworn out
a warrant it was simply mean re-

''Just so, miss. Just So" unused Joe,

eyes and saw sympathy there. She
liked his looks, but her face hardened
and there was glitter in her eyes as
she turned to enter the house and said:

law? You can be sent to prison for a

The sheriff had been bested, but it
was by a young and good looking
woman. and he did not feel so very
crestfallen as he rode away. His idea
was to arrest the father outside the
house and avoid all trouble with the
daughter.
The next day he returned to the
claim and lay hidden for several hours.
He caught sight of the girl at the door
several times, but the father did not
appear. He came again next day and

is do not beat him. Don't throw sand
in his ears, don't use "A rope on his

to him to 70. In ninety-nine cases out
of hundred the horse will so right on

must keep his lines taut and not pull

s'Grotesuue" is derived curiouslJ
from the word "grotto." Ancient RIO
man families often had artificial grot-
toes In their grounds, and these were
decorated with quaint paintings and
whimsical Ggurts. such as we Should
term ..srotesque." Commonly, these
were faucifuI ana homogeneous comDi

Conspicuous examples of the gro

mans head and fish's tail, peril, as
ancient poets sang, TO mariners sailing
between sicily and Italy. In mediae-
val times her place in Erotesque art
was taken by the mermaid, more
poatical fancy.
The Middle ages used the grotesque
chiefly in ecclesiastical gargoyles, the
best of which are the devils of Notre
Dame referred to in Victor Hugo's
.ouAsimodo" The idea of the devil
as u man with horns, hoofs and tail
is probably drawn from grotesque art.
