The Reverend Billy rose, and the
veins in his forehead stood out like
whip cords.
What are you going to do?" said
Virginia. She was standing, too, and
her hand, trembling a little, was en-
his arm.
The clerical meekness in the ath-
lete's reply was conspicuous by its alb

AS yet there was no sign of prepara-
ton on the embanknent. For the
moment the arms of the track force
were laid aside, and every man was
plying pick or shovel as if his life de-
pended on the amount Of earth he
could add to the reforming dump in a
given number of minutes.
Winton was in the thick of the pick
and-shovel melee, urging 1T on, when
Biggin ran up.
"Hi!" he shouted. "Fixin' to take
another play-day in Carbonate?
Lookee down yonder!"
Winton looked and came alive to

could not forbear smile. 1t was too
much for the sheriff, the added straw,
and his exhortation to his foot-posse
burst into caustic profanity Where
upon Mr.. Peter Biggin rose up in his
place, took careless aim, and sent a
bullet to plow a little furrow in the
ice and frozen snow within an inch
of Deckerts heels.

he ignored Peter Biggin as a person
who could SG argued with at leisure
and turned his attention to Winton.

drew his men, and at Winton's signal
the track layers came in and the earth
began to fly again.
Virginia sighed her relief. and Bes-
sic plucked up courage to go to the
window, which she had deserted in the
moment of impending battle.
"Oh-h-h! | wish Uncle Somerville
would take us away" she gasped.
Cant you persuade him, Virginia."
"Tll try" said Virginia, gravely,
foreseeing future tragic situations too
terrifying to be witnessed.

waiter as calmly as if the morning

They gathered about the table, a
silent trio made presently a quartette

from having her stateroom on the
peaceful side of the Rosemary, had
neither seen nor heard anything of the
warlike episode with which tho day

AWFUL PSORIASIS s5 YEARS.

Bleeding-cured by cuticura.

81 was afflicted with psoriasis for
thirty-five years. 1t was in patches
all over my body. / used three cakes
of Cuticura Soap, six boxes OF ONT
ment and two bottles of Resolvent.
In thirty days l was completely cured,
and / think permanently, as it was
about five years ago. The psoriasis
first made its appearance in red spots,
generally forming a circle, leaving In
the center a spot about the size or
silver dollar of sound flesh. In short
time the affected circle would form
a heavy dry scale of white silvery
appearance and would gradually drop
off. To remove the entire scales By
bathing or using oil to soften them
the flesh would be perfectly raw, and
a light discharge of bloody substance
would ooze out. That scaly crust
would form again in twenty-four hours,
1t was worse on my arms and limbs,
although it was in spots all over my
body, also on my scalp. If I let the
scales remain too long Without remov,,
ing by bath or otherwise, the skin
would crack and bleed. l suffered in
tense itching, worse at nights after
getting warm in bed or blood warm
by exercise, when it would be almost
pnbearable. w. M. Chidester, Hutch.

SOUTHERN RICE COOKING

Rice, properly cooked, is beautiful, nu-
tritiou., and tempting; but you never
see rice properly cooked except in the
South, and not always there. You have
TO learn how first. and then. like all
things learned, IT is as simple as boil
ing a kettle. The best rice FOR table use
IS known as Carolina rice and ETOws in
the Carolinas and Georgia. East India
or RangOOn-rice is a small, dark
grain, that never swells much, and IS
harder to cook than native rice.
A pint of raw rice is plenty for dish

last water is perfectly clear. the rice Is
ready to be cooked by one OF these
three methods;
