but not about himself nor his past. He
was made welcome by the daughter.
but he could not question her as a
suspect
He called three or four times "by
accident" but after that he was
weekly visitor from choice and invita-
ton. In time he was quite ready to
acknowledge 10 himself that he was in
love and TO hope that his feelings were
reciprocated. lie was feeding up his
courage to speak his mind when some
thing happened to make him turn pale
and set his heart to humping. AS
sheriff, he received an official document
by mail one day in which he was com
manded TO arrest one DR.. james Bird
as an embeZzler. 1t was Bird instead
of Davy in the warrant, but the per
sonal description fitted the man who
was living out on the prairie with his
daughter. His offense had been com
mitted many years before but the com
plainant had kept the warrant alive
a bloodhound. The demand was that
he be arrested and securely held until
extradition papers could be secured,
and as even the locality in which he
was in hiding was pointed out the
sheriff realized that he must do his
duty If it broke a womans heart
An hour after receiving the letter he
was on his way to the doctors place.
All the way out there he was hoping
that the doctor might have been given
a hint and fed or, if he had not. then
that he might have indisputable evil
dences of his innocence at hand. His
face betrayed his perturbation Of mind
to the girl the instant he dismounted
at the door She was alone. and as
she stood forth in the June sunshine
and looked up at him she quietly said

Joe nodded bis head as he looked
away over the prairie.

UNDER THE ROSE,
The Term Which stands as the SYM
bOI of Closed Lips.


boi of Closed Lips.
Sir 7. Browne, in his Inquiries Into
Vulgar Errors dated 1916, says of the
old phrase sub rosa. The expression is
commendable, if the rose from any
naturall properue may be the symbolic
Of silence" and goes on to quote some
Latin lines which represent the rose
bud folded in its sheath as an emblem
Of closed lips.
He also speaks Of the secrecy to be
observed in society and compotation,
from the ancient custome in Symposi-
acke meetings to wear chaplets of roses
about their heads"
Others derive the expression from the
fable that Cupid gave a rose to Har-
pocrates, the god of silence, as u bribe
to prevent the disclosure Of the amours
of Venus.
There are many records of roses
carved upon ceilings in early and in
more modern times as reminders to
guests that words spoken in convivial
moments should not be repeated.
1t is said that in 1926 roses conse-
Grated by the pope were placed over

My maternal great grandfather, Van
der Meerschaut, had a little Cossack
horse captured from the Russian in
vaders in 1914. The old gentleman
was lame in one leg as the result of Il
hunting accident, but withal a good
hOrseman when once IN the saddle.
When out on his trips in the country
on business and coming home at night,
he would frequently fall asleep In his
commodlouS Cossack saddle. The horse
would make a bee line for home at an
easy but swift pace Arriving there, 1t
would rap at the front door with Its
foot until the watchman would open
the porch and take the old gentleman
out of the saddle. My grandmother
told me this happened almost every
week Horse and master understood
each other. Not being able TO walk
very well, he would hunt from horse
back, the horse following the settlers
and coming to standstill when one
of them was on a point, the old gen
tleman guiding him entirely by pres
sure Of the knees and voice and having
both hands free for his fowling piece.
The horse died of old age on the place,
as most of our servants. Peace to his
ashes, Forest and Stream.

Several Kinds of sausases.

The Germans, in most instances, al
together discard bread crumbs for their
sausages, and when they do use them
moisten them with milk or water, but
the Italians refuse to put any bread
into their sausages, and they claim
that their famous "Bolognese morta-
della" Is at once more nourishing
and more economical sausage than
the very best German wurst mas
much as the 'mortadella" must be
boiled three times before 1t is properly
cooked, and the water in which 1t has
been boiled constitutes a strong clear
soup. The Romans make likewise a
highly ambitious sausage, in which no
kind of bread is allowed to enter They
call it 'zampino," which is the foot
and leg of young pork, the best OF
which is obtained from Modena.
A leg freshly salted is chosen and
carefully skinned, the trotter being
preserved; then the meat is finely
minced and after being seasoned is re
placed in the "Zampino,' which Is tied
with string and simmered in an oval
pan for two hours. Wholly innocent of
bread crumbs are also the renowned
''cervelaS" of StraSsburg
