In another moment (the eyes of all
the piazza being upon him in the
meantime), he grabbed his right
shoulder and cried:
Il think it's here!"
A second later he changed his grab
to the left side of his chest and de-
clared that the lizard certainly was

The mother carefully searched both

"Well," said the mother, "if he's

And he did stay until the party had
finished their drinks.
There was evidence that the lizard
was eventually recovered in the seclu-

The quirt hung from the catch of
a. |safety" pin on the fifth plank of
the east side of Evans shack. In the
butt of the quirt were sixty steel
cased bullets. This gave the butt Sc
curity. At the end of the quirt was
a single strip of rawhide, thin, edged,
water-soaked, salted; it had been
torn one night when a cold rain came
and a stampede from the flank of a
maverick east of the Sinking river.
The wife of Evan was within the
shack at the making of the noon meal
of pancakes, canned peas and corn
from an outer world Of industry tum-
bled in, eggs added by the thunder Of
the plains. She was lonesome. A
mans lonesomeness may express
itself through his love of liquor or his

Webster and the BRANDY

Mr.. Webster's fondness for brandy
gave one of his important clients a
very bad twenty-four hours. He was
called to Philadelphia to defend the
Goodyear rubber patents and the head
of the firm met him at the station.
When they had entered the carriage
he at once turned to Mr.. Webster and
referred to one feature of the evil
dence to be presented in the trial the
following day.
Il speak of it, Mr.. Webster" he
said, "as it has peculiarly important
bearing on the case, and thought you
might not have understood it's signifi-
cance.
Mr.. Webster, who was looking
dreamily out of the carriage window,
was recalled to consciousness of his
clients presence. He yawned and,
settling back against the cushions, re-
marked:

day come to Philadelphia, because

Evan was with the sheep figuring the

any chances of throwing his coat back

big enough to do the work, with bar
rel long enough to insure accuracy of
aim, wouldn't go into the hip pocket,

Some fellows carry theirs in their
holster, fixed on the right side of their
belts and they let the belt swing
loose, so that the pistol hangs we'll

Armored Red Cross Motor

Of heavy construction, weighing COM
plete 5000 pounds. The front or steer
ing wheel is of small diameter, stoutly
constructed of steel and shod with
wide iron tires, so as to insure a Sc
cure grip of the ground being attained.
For military ambulance work the
motor is entirely incased in bullet
proof steel shields. The armor proof
ing consists of Cammell bulet-proof
steel of one quarter inch thickness.
The back casing of the motor is so
constructed that flaps open outward

When not engaged in her profession
as surgeon-in-chief to the wax figures
in the show-windows of Minneapolis
Mrs. Annie l.. Zimmerman works as a
taxidermist. Equally successful in
both occupations, it is difficult for Mrs
Zimme herman to say which she finds
the more fascinating. Repairing wax
figures requires a delicate touch and
an artistic sense as we'll as accurate
knowledge of anatomy and coloring

a degree of skill that comes only by
practice. Mrs. Zimmerman employs
