Mrs. Dudleigh's
 Portrait
By BELLE MOSES

NkT )T another stroke, Hugh, the like IN ness is perfect!" and Mrs. Hugh fell back in ecstasy. She had been married IA years, and had not yet lost her enthusiasm.
 q might deepen the shadow under the right eye" said Gresham, refec- lively.
 Mrs. Gresmah resolutely took the box of pastel crayons out of his hand. Tt would be the height of absurdity- with the Dudleighs expected any mo- ment."
 How many are coming?" asked Gresham, reluctantly submitting to her dictum.
 MT. and Mrs. Dudleigh and Eloise, enough, I should think There goes the bell. Now, Hugh, dear, must leave you to your fate; promise me you won't sac rifce your art to your whims; it would be paying too dear price for your bread and butter; just couldn't stand it."
 But I must alter when suggestions are made" said Hugh. and I've heard that Mrs. .Dudleigh likes to make sug- gestions."
 Yes sighed his wife, "and I've heard her suggestions have cast every at tempted portrait into oblivion"
 A defiant look flashed into the dreamy eyes of the artist. That will not be the fate of my portrait, promise you, Aline; it shall leave this studio per- feet likeness"
 Good boy!" she whispered. then she left a kiss upon his forehead, and slipped into the enclosure behind the screen. a bit of the long studio which she had ap- propriated as bedroom. She was not a moment too soon; steps were heard in the corridor. and MT. Dudleigh's hearty voice rang out as Gresham opened the door.
 Good afternoon. my dear fellow! Here we are on time: I hope you are ready to be peppered Laura has brought her pince-nez on purpose. This is my daughter, Eloise."
 Mrs. Dudleigh bowed. cordially, and Miss Dudleigh followed in more for

though she never changed her positio,

though she never changed her position on the dais, where she sat looking down upon the little comedy.
 T think" said Mrs. Dudleigh, that the line of the neck is rather too much in shadow; my throat is much fuller don't you agree with me, Gerald? l Mir. Gresham, just blend in a little more of the flesh tint, if you please-- ah, so! See what an improvements it takes away that extremely angular effect. I don't like angles in DOT. traits, you er-pardon me, MT. Gresham, isn't that smudgu on either cheek? It gives my face ! dirty appearance-and there are sim- liar streaks around my nose at the base. I am of the opinion that flesh tints would bring out the characteris. tics much better. Don't you think SO yourself?"
 Well" objected Gresham, hia crayon poised, T don't quite agree with you; those streaks and SmudgeA as you call them, are the lines and creases of your face-they make tho character far better than mere com. pIexion tints.pS6l
 Mrs. Dud1eighs turned mortified looh upon her husband: Gerald. have lines and creases in my face?"
 Not perceptible ones, my dear; oi course not"
 You misunderstood me-" said Gresham, firmly.
 Mrs Dudleigh flashed an indignant glance upon him. You are trying to paint an impress,onist portrait of me. abhor the impressionist school; want the real thing; take out all the shadows and leave the pure flesh tints.'
 Mrs. Gresham stifled an insane desire 10 rush out and throttle the destroyer of her husbendis art, for. to her con. sternation she noticed that he was pro. pairing to comply.
 "The cheekbones, too, need filling out, remarked Mrs. Dudleigh, and a little bit more sparkle to the eyes would be a sable-they lack that-er-well-hu. man attribute, soul, you artists call ity"
 Gresham cast a look toward the screen, and as his glance travelled back to the portrait it rested on the face of the girl on the dais in whose eyes gleamed hidden laughter; he himself smiled, grimly. and fell to work. Sugs gestions poured from Mrs. Dudleigh. Gresham made no reply. he only worked more busily: at last he turned and faced his inquisitor.
 That is all can do, Mrs. Dudleigh,s he fell back and rolled the easel foes ward into full view.
 Why, it's Eloise to the life!" ezs claimed MT. Dudleigh. T never sav such transformation"
 Mrs. DudIeigh looked at it-frowned-- and then looked at her daughter. Tt ie excellent" she admitted. There, nov Gerald. you see am an impossible sub feet. I've proved it to you again and again. However, Mir. Gresham, you may send the portrait home; Eloise is the gainer You're a lucky girl, my dear. Come. I'm quite disgusted."
 Miss Dudleigh came down from the dais and stood in front of the portrait. You've put laughter in my eyes," she remarked; T wonder why"
 Tt was there" he answered, bowino ow as she passed out
 Then Mrs. Gresham came from behind the screen, and the artists triumph vas complete.-Town and Country.

n PLANT cOWPEAS LATE.4
This Plant Needs Hot Weather and Should Not Be Planted Until
 After Other Crops.

As the cowpea is a typical tropical plant and hence hot weather plant, 1t should not be seeded until the soil becomes thoroughly warmed and the season settled. The plant is very read fly damaged by light frost and if the seed is put into cold, wet soil. it will generally rot.
 On the other hand, if the ground Is we'll warmed up and has sufficient moisture in it, the seed will come up in two or three days and make a rapid growth from the start, and the time during which the weeds will have a chance to grow will be of short dura- tion.
 The quantity of seed will depend upon the method used in seeding When. drilled in rows. 21s to 3 feet apart for cultivation, one-half bushel to three pecks of seed per acre; if broadcasting or close drilling 1 to 1k bushels should be the amount. In Ok lahoma, says the Farm and Home, drilling in rows far enough apart to admit of cultivation usually gives the best results, particularly in drouthy seasons
 The planting is we'll done. either with corn. cotton or wheat drill. In planting this crop. the seed should be put down into moist ground if possible and in order to do this. it may be planted two to three inches deep. as the seed puts out a strong vigorous seeding that will reach the surface readily through that much soil.

CAPT|VE'S RETURN.
ROMANCE OF NAVAJO MAIDEN AND A MEXICAN CAVALIER.
Little Child Carried Away as Hostage by Party of Frontiersmen-Broth- 1 CT Finds After Long Search
 Cavalier Rescues.

When Chula, little Navajo maiden was a child in her mothers hogan, 2 party of frontiersmen raided her ia thers herds one day, to recover horses stolen by the warriors, and seizing Chula carried her away as hostage Several years later, her brother, g young warrior near her own age, set out to search for her among the from tier ranches. Unable to speak the Ian guage of the people and regarded with suspicion, he wandered from ranch to ranch ostensibly seeking employment. At brief intervals hunger drove him into the mountains to hunt for game, but he persiStently returned and for more than year wandered from place to place searching for his sister.
 He came at last to ranch near Ia os, and one day caught sight of Chula filling gourd at spring. She had changed much in appearance, but the young warrior hoping and doubting, ventured to address her and was over-
