Solomon Jarchus, who lived in the mid

A primitive English calendar or al

"rein-stock' or "clog almanac" 1t was
made of wood, bone or horn, about
eight inches long, like a square ruler.
On this the days were marked by a
series of notches, every seventh being
of larger size The festivals were indi-

I looked in wonder at her race, so
gentle, SO girlish, and tried to think
back to the picture of the girl who a
few moments before had so coolly
threatened to shoot me and had so
furiously beaten her dogs.
1 kept her talking of the Duke as we
walked back to the gate, watching her
face the while. 1t was not beautiful;
1t was too thin and the mouth was too
large. But the teeth were good and the
eyes, blue black with gray rims, looked
straight at you-true eyes and brave,
whether in love or in war. Her hair
was her glory. Red it was, in spite of
His denial, but of such marvellous, In
descrtbable shade that in certain lights,
as she rode over the prairie, it streamed
behind her like purple banner-a
most confusing and bewildering color,
but quite in keeping with the nature
Of the owner.
She gave her pinto to Joe and stand
ing ut the door, welcomed me with
dignity and graciousness that made me
think that the Duke was not far wrong
when he named her princess"
The door opened upon the main or
living room. 1t was long apartment,
with low ceiling and walls of hewn
logs chinked and plastered and all
beautifully whitewashed and clean.
The tables. chairs and benches were all
homemade. On the floor were mag
nifcent skins of wolf, bear, musk OK
and mountain goat. The walls We're
decorated with heads and horns Of
deer and mountain sheep, eagles wings
and beautiful breast Of loon, which
Gwen had shot and of which she was
very proud. AT one end of, the room
huge stone fireplace stood radiant in
its summer decoration of ferns and
grasses and wild flowers. At the other
end door opened into another room,
smaller and richly furnished with
relics of former grandeur.
Everything was clean and well kept
Every nook, shelf and corner was
decked with flowers and ferns from
the canyon.
a strange house It was, full of curl
ot,s contrasts, but 1t fitted this quaint
child that welcomed me with such
gracious courtesy.

The Dust In the Air.

The air of cities is impregnated with
dust and filth. TO combat their dele
terious effects the streets should be
freely ventilated and watered. Wind
and rain are the great destroyers of
dust. From the fields the wind lifts
the debris of vegetat ion-pollen, seeds,
spores Of fungi and bacteria; the dust
Of the soil--silica, silicate of alumni
tum, carbonate and phosphate Of lime
and peroxide Of iron. In and proceed
ing from volcanic regions fine particles
of carbon and dried mud are taken up
and waited hundreds or even thou
sands of miles. In and round about
cities and towns the finely ground dust
of the pavements, fragments of straw,
hair, stable manure, debris Of insects,
SCOT, epithelia from floor sweepings or
shaken from rugs, carpets and bedding,
together with gases and other volatile
carnations from factories, rendering
establishments, abattoirs, tanyards and
compost heaps of all sorts, though not

be in some degree almost everywhere

A canny Scot lived in q small settle
ment some miles from the neighboring
town. The distance, however, could
be considerably lessened by cutting
through n large estate. This practice
was accordingly so much resorted to
that the owner gave peremptory orders
for all trespassers to be turned around
and sent back the way they came.
One time. however. the Scot in ques-
ton, having occasion to take some arti-
cles to town in q wheelbarrow, decided
to run the risk and was about half
way through when he saw the owner
in the distance. Not relishing the idea
Of retracing his steps, he bethought
himself of scheme, and, promptly
turning the wheelbarrow to face the
direction from which he came, he sat
down upon 1t us If resting.
Soon the owner came up and, seeing
him there, roughly ordered him to turn
around and 20 back.
AS back" was in this case his OBJ
Jective point, the Scot obeyed and went
on his way rejoicing.

to the trail that would LEAD me td the
canyon where he was to meet me. Up
the Swan went the TRAIL winding ever
downward into deeper and narrower
coulees and up 10 higher open sunlit
slopes, till suddenly it settled into a
valley which began with great width
and narrowed to canyon whose rocky
sides were dressed out with shrubs and
trailing vines and wet with trickling
rtvulets from the numerous springs
that oozed and gushed from the black,
glistening rocks. This canyon was an
eerie place of which ghostly tales were
told from the old Blackfoot times And
to this day no Blackfoot will dare to
pass through this black walled, oozy,
glistenlng canyon after the moon has
passed the western lip. But in the
warm light of broad day the canyon
was a good enough place, cool and
sweet, and l fingered through, waiting
for the Old Timer, who failed to APP
pear till the shadows began to darken
Its western black sides.
Out Of the mouth Of the canyon the
trail climbed to a wide stretch of prairie
that swept up over soft hills to the left
and down to the bright cleaning wa
tiers of the Devils lake on the right.
In the sunlight the lake lay like gem
radiant with many colors, the far side
black in the shadow of the crowding
pines. then, in the middle deep, blue and
purple, and, nearer, many shades of en-
erald that ran quite to the white sandy
beach. Right In front stood the ranch
buildings, upon slight rising ground
and surrounded by a sturdy palisade
Of upright pointed poles. This wa the
castle Of the princess. rode up to the

ground and fled down the trail. pur-

lsSS Gwen. They all had stories
Of her. Tho detnils were not many, but
the impression was VIVID. She lived
remote from that center Of civilization
known as Swan Creek In the postal

up among the hills near the Devils
lake, and from her fathers ranch she
never ventured. But some of the men
had had glimpses of her and had come
to definite opinions regarding her.
