"Throw up your hands, quick"

Throw UP your hands, quick.'
Brad obeyed the command ~romptly
without looking to see whence it came.
That much he had learned from his life
in the west But as his eyes found the
beautiful face beyond the firmly held
rife barrel his hand dropped lnvolun-
tarlly to his hat to remove it. As it did
SO there came a sharp report and a
singing sensation in his arm.
"That will convince you mean what

''Now up with your hands again, quick!
The next time | shall not aim TO fire
between your arm and head, but to

Brad smiled grimly, Evidently the
sudden motion of his arm had caught
the bullet which was merely intended
to Craze it, and from the eXcruciating
pain and his inability to raise the arm
from its limp position at his side he
realized that the bone was shattered.

The Public Drinking Cum.

When it is necessary to relieve ones
thirst abroad, if the cup be filled quite
full and placed to the mouth in such
way that the rim will be about half
an inch below the under lip, one can
drink from the surface of the water.
In this way no part of the vessel, to
which some particles of poisonous mat
ter may still be clinging, will touch the
delicate skin of the lip. 1t is hardly
necessary TO add that the water which
adheres TO the mouth and below the
lips should be removed by handker-
chief and not by the tongue.

Candles as Bullets.

Concerning the shooting of a candle
through board a correspondent
writes: I'VE selected a weather beaten
pine fence board as a target and load
ed the gun with three drains of black
powder followed by an ordinary
'stearin' candle, which fitted tightly.
The candle passed through, making a
clear cut hole, and buried itself in the
sand back of the target. The candle,
while somewhat torn. was still far
