to be killed. Such man is careful

vast advantage over the desperate
of two or three victims who does not
yet accept the fact that his own days
are numbered The only trouble in
regard to this new bad man from
below WAS that his mental attitude
on this point was much the same as
that of Sheriff Bill Watson. There
fore the sheriff was extremely careful
about the oiling of the cylinder.
He finished the cleaning of his six
shooter and tossed the oiled rag into
the drawer of the table where he
kept the warrants. He slipped the
heavy weapon into the scabbard at
his right leg and saw that the. string
held the sCabbard firmly to his trouser
leg, so that he might draw the gun
smoothly and without hindrance from
its sheath. He was a simple. unpre-
tentious man; not n heroic figure as
he stood. his weight resting on the
sides of his feet, looking out of the
window down the long and wind-swept
street of Ellisville.
Gradually the gaze of the sheriff
focused, becoming occupied with the
figure of horseman whose steady
riding seemed to have purpose other
than that of merely showing his JOY
ia living and riding. This rider passed
other riders without pausing He
came up the street at a gallop until
opposite the Office door. where he
jerked up his horse sharply and
sprang from the saddle.

Two Queer Names.

The second is the name of small

from the old song Why Not To,

a great deal, and the people became
so carried away with the music that

A ChiId's Definitions.

The late Frederic R. Coudert, law
yer and wit, had a great fondness for
children. He collected indefatigably
the quaint sayings of children, and
one of the treasures OF his library
was small manuscript volume filled
with definitions that children had
composed. This volume was called a
"child's dictionary" and these are
some of the definitions that Mr.. Cou-
dert would read from it:
"Dust-Mud with the juice squeezed
out of it.
"Snoring-Letting off sleep.
"Apples-The bubbles that apple
trees blow.

STRANGE FREAa OF NATURE.
"Sheep-Eater's Monument in Gold
Region of Idaho.

One Of the most remarkable natural
curiosities on the earth is to be seen
in rugged and almost inaccessible
part of the newly-opened. but already
famous Thunder Mountain gold region
in Idaho. This strange freak of ma
ture is called "Sheep-eaters monu-
ment," and is said to have derived its
name from tribe of Indians formerly
inhabiting the district.
The mountain is seventy feet high
and consists OF a rough shaft. com
posed of boulders and gravel. tapering
slightly upward. and capped by huge
irregular rock. whose weight is esti-
mated at not less than fifty tons. The
cap rests on slender projections from
the shaft that are gradually being
worn away by the elements, threaten
ing the eventual fall of the great
stone. The monument stands on the
slope Of ridge which rises 1000 feet
and descends 500 feet from the site.
1t was undoubtedly formed by erosion.
The surface of the declivity has been
for centuries, and is yet. being washed
away by water, the result of melt
ing SHOWS and rainfalls.
Originally the capstone was sta
toned on the ground, but gradually
the soil surrounding it was carried
away, a narrow vertical section just
under it being left intact. owing prob
ably to some hard cementing sub
stance in the conglomerate and possi-
bly, also to the direction in which the
eroding torrents expended their force.
How long time was required to form
the shaft may be only partly realized
when it is stated that there are trees
not far away taller than the monu-
ment. AS the erosive process con-
tinues. the shaft is likely to increase
in length unless soft spot should be
reached under the present surface, in
which case the curious formation
might topple over and break into
pieces.-Montreal Herald.

CHAPTER XIX.
Bill Watson.


The sheriff of Ellisyille sat in his
Office oiling the machinery of the law;
which is to say, cleaning his revolver.
There was not yet any courthouse.
The sheriff was the law. Twelve new
mounds on the hillside back of the
Cottage Hotel showed how faithfully
he had executed his duties as judge
Office at the beginning of the Cow
boom" of Ellisviile. His right hand
had found somewhat to do, and he had
done it with his might.
Ellisville was near the zenith Of its
bad eminence. The entire country had
gone broad-horn. Money being free.
whisky was not less so. The bar of
the Cottage was lined perpetually.
wild men from the range rode their
horses up the steps and into the bar
room, demanding to be served as they
sat in the saddle. as gentlemen should.
Glass was too tempting to the six
shooters of these enthusiasts, and the
.barkeeper begged the question by
slowing away the fragments of his mir

OF sight. More than once he was asked
to hold up bottle of whisky so that
some cow-puncher might prove his
skill BY shooting the neck off from
the flask. The bartender was taci-
turn and at times glum, but his face
was the only one at the bar that show
ed any irritation or sadness. This
railroad town was bright new thing
for the horsemen of the trail-a very
joyous thing. No funeral could check
tEeir hilarity; no whisky could daunt
their throats, long scared with alkali.
1t was notorious that after the civil
war human life was held very cheap
all over America, it having been seen
how small thing is man, how little
missed may be million men taken
bodily from the population. Nowhere
was life cheaper than on the frontier.
and at no place on that frontier Of
less value than at this wicked little
city.
The sheriff OF Ellisville looked
thoughtful as he tested the machinery
OF the law. He had warrant for a

Eton Collars for Spring.

The Eton collar is noticed on some
spring suits. 1t is a welcome change
from the collarless effects of former
seasons. 1t gives girlish, not to say
boyish, look to the wearer. 1t has
already been seen on the English ten
mis- suits of white duck and sea green
linen in Florida courts, and now it
comes along as a top dressing of the
bolero or jacket-shaped bodices OF
spring suits.
1t is of linen usually. but is made
more becoming and softly feminine by
a fril!ing of soft Valenciennes lace
sewed all the way around. The open
space between the collar points is
thus filed in and finished with bow.

Eton Jacket,

Eton jackets are to be noted among
the most fashionable coats and are
jaunty, becoming and generally at
tractive. This one includes the tiny
vest effect that marks the latest de-
signs with full sleeves and the drop
shoulders that give the broad line of
fashion. AS shown it is made of wood
brown broadcloth with trimming of
brown and white braid, the vest being
white cloth braided with brown and
tan, but all suiting materials are ap-
propriate and the vest can be one Of
many things. Oriental embroidery is
much liked. brocades and lace are
seen and wide brand is used.
The jacket is made with fronts and
back and is fitted by means of single
darts, shoulder and under-arm seams.
The little vest can be applied over the
edge and finished with the braid, or
the jacket can be cut away and the
edge of the vest arranged under it,
then stitched to position. The sleeves
are gathered and are Joined to the

Menu Card Ideas.

Nothing is prettier for dainty
luncheon than the ribbon menu. This
consists of a nine-inch length of
broad satin ribbon, with q floral en-
blem and the word Menu" painted
on it.
Another idea is the swan menu,
which is cut out of deckled cardboard.
The tail feathers are first cut and the
word Menu" printed at the top with
the bill of fare underneath. The head
and wings of the bird are then cut
separately, and a piece of baby ribbon
in the shape of loop attached to the
head and over the tail feathers to keep
the different parts of the anatomy to-
gether.

The Coal ScuttIe Bonnet.

The quaintest of all chapeaux for
little people is coal scuttle bonnet
in white satin trimmed with roses and
other white flowers. The sides of this
bonnet are sometimes folded over
after the manner of Breton caps. For
the little fancy coat and wrap, white
cloth is the general favorite. There
are many different designs for these
garments. but the Gretchen shape,
which is simplicity itself, seems to be
the most popular.
