HERDER LEADS LIONEL Y LIFE

The journey of the last two days
has been in the solemn stiffness of
the forest, says a writer in the Pa
citic Monthly. Hardly has the soft
twittering of bird broken the un-
ending silence. But now the voice of
the distant flocks is the undertone
that fills the air-it rises and falls in
cadences, but is never still. There,
under the shadow of the pines, is
pitched the herder's tent. Company
is scarce and therefore valuable, and
hardly have his dogs given warning
OF stranger when the one solitary
figure is strolling toward US. 1t is
quite impossible to forecast the ma
tionality, age, upbringing or condi-
tion OF this man. Sheep herding is as
often a refuge as an occupation.
Wages is good, work there is none,
food is found, responsibilities sit very
lightly; through six months of the
year this outdoor life involves no
hardship. If from one or two weeks
end to the next no living man is in
sight to speak lowell, there is the
less chance of quarreling, and the
dogs are ever at hand and good com
pany for many hours out of the "a.
But, then, the ever-present sheep.
To rise with the sun, get breakfast
and then follow the big flock as they

slowly feed away from camp. To
hear their everlasting ''ba-as," to
smell the ever-present woolliness, to
live, move and have your being in an
atmosphere of sheep-to walk when
they walk, to stop when they feel
disposed to rest, and to so put in the
slowly passing hours, to accompany
them back to the neighborhood of
camp, and not until the flock has
gone to bed for good to feel mo-
ment's freedom from their society.
No wonder that, as one sheep
herding friend told me, he was ready
to bless wolf or two that broke in
on the monotony of the day by trying
to steal sheep before his very eyes.
The sheep herder is we'll armed as
we'll fed. And very often on the sum-
mer ranges he can so manage the
days march with his flock as to bring
in the blessed trout stream, where
the fish are rising at the summer
flies. One man know learned Span
lsh in the summers herding. Another
found haven in higher mathematics.
Several others used their pocket
knives to carve ornaments and knick-
knacks. Books, magazines and let
ters are always brought out with the
| supply of beans and bacon, coffee and
| -four, sugar and tobacco. .

The AIhambra Crumblino.

Since more and more American
tourists visit Spain each year, the
news that the Alhambra, the Mecca
OF all pilgrims to that country, is in
greater danger of total destruction
than ever before will arouse wide
spread interest in this country. The
government contributes $4,000 pesetas
a year for it's preservation, but that
sum has proved quite inadequate for
present urgent needs, and one cannot
help wishing therefore, that some
wealthy American art patron might
immortalize himself by coming to the
rescue. That the Alhambra has sur
Vived to this day is in itself marvel.
During it's five centuries of existence
it has been subjected to severe trials.
Shattered, at one time, by an explo-
sion, and shaken by earthquakes, it
has at other times sunk so low as to
be a habitation of smugglers, and
even a stable for French army horses.
The present danger, explains the New
York Post, lies in the fact that the
foundations are being undermined by
water from the old ruined conduits.
Not only are the government appro-
priations insufficient to meet this con-
dition, but the situation is compli-
Gated by a quarrel among the three
directors. This has resulted in the
resignation, after 35 years of service
of the eminent expert in oriental arch
itecture, Senor Contreras. He has
restored many of the tiles, as we'll as
the figures and colors and the other
mural decorations, thus giving fair
idea Of what the Moorish palace was
in the days of its glory.

sake, jump!'
think that Hawkins had framed a
reply, but just then particularly hard
bump appeared to knock the breath
out of his body. He took a better
grip on the bride and said no more.
1 hardly knew what to do. Every
minute brought us nearer to the town,
where traffic is rather heavy all day.
Up to now we had had a clear track,
but in another five minutes a collision
would be almost as inevitable as the
sunset.
endeavored to recall the First Aid
to the Injured" treatment for fractured
skulls and broken backs, and thanked
goodness that there would be only one
auto to complete the mangling of
Hawkins remains, should they drop
into the road after the smash.
Would there? I glanced backward
and gasped. Others had joined the
pursuit, and l was merely the van
guard of a procession.
Twenty feet to the rear loomed the
black muzzle of Enos Jackson's trotter,
with Jackson in his little road-cart.
Behind him, three bicyclists filled up
the gap between the road-cart and
DR.. Brotherton's buggy.
I felt little better at seeing Broth
erton there. He set my hired mans
leg two years ago, and made splendid
job.
There was more of the cavalcade be-
hind Brotherton, although the dust re-
vealed only glimpses of it; but 1 had
seen enough to realize that if Haw-
kins' brake did work, and Hawkins
mare stopped suddenly, there was
going to be a piled-up mass of men
and things in the road that for sheer

came up. "Stop!"

kett, gathering up reins and whip.
And with that he dashed into the

ed the bicyclists to the side of the
road.
Our county town is a small one, and
at the pace set by Maud it didn't take
us long to reach the far side and SWEEP
out on the highway which leads,
| eventually, to Boston.
I began to wonder dimly whether
Maud's wind and my water and gaso-
line would carry us to the Hub, and, if
so, what would happen when we had
passed through the city.
Just beyond Boston, you know, is the
Atlantic ocean.
At this point in my meditations we
started down the slope to the big
creamery.
The building is located to the right
of the road. On the left, rather
steep grassy embankment drops per-
haps 80 feet to the little river.
On this beautiful sunny afternoon,
the creamery's milk cans, something
like hundred in number, were airing
by the roadside, just on the edge of the
embankment; and as we thundered
down 1 smiled grimly to think OF the
attractive little frill Maud might add
to her performance by kicking a dozen
or two OF the milk cans into the river
as she passed.
Maud, however, as she approached

her ribs few times with his heels, and
her kindly old face seemed to wear
such gentle expression as she ap-
preached, that breathed easier.
Now, Griggs!" cried Hawkins, COM
ing abreast 'Watch-noW!"
He thrust one hand behind, grasped
the lever, and gave it a tug. The little
rods remained in the air.
A puzzled expression fitted over
Hawkins face, and as he cantered by
he appeared to tug a trifle harder.
This time something happened.
l heard whir like the echo of a
sawmill, and saw several yards of steel
spring shoot out of the inwards of the
machine. heard sort of frantic
shrek from Maud S. l saw sudden
cloud of pebbles and dust in the road,
such as should imagine would be
kicked up by an exploding shetland
that was all.
Hawkins, Maud, and the Internal
machine were making for the county
town with none of the grace, but near
ly all the speed, of shooting star
For few seconds stood dazed.
Then it occurred to me that Haw-
kins' wife would later wish to know
what his dying words had been, and l
went into the auto with a flying leap,
sent it about in it's own length, almost
jumped the hedge, and thus started
upon a race whose memory will haunt
me when greater things have faded
into the forgotten past.
My runabout, while hardly a racer,
is supposed to have some pretty speedy
machinery stored away in it, but the
engine had big undertaking in try
ing to overhaul that old mare.

Misuse of the Telephone.

Calling husband up malici2usly on
the telephone, day and night, has been
ruled in Massachusetts, not to be an
actionable misdemeanor in a wife.
The judge added, however, by way of
gratuitous observation, this: Il think
that one having telephone in his
house could enjoin person from con-
tinuously ringing him up day and
night upon unimportant matters which
he had no right to do, to the loss of
sleep and rest to the occupant and to
his great annoyance" With new
methods of communication come new
subjects for lawyers and the rest of
us to discuss. Take rural free deliv-
cry, for instance. With the telephone,
says Golfers, this is changing the
most important aspects of country life.
Some persons oppose it because,
among other reasons, it costs money.
Such persons would probably oppose
the mail service if it were newer
question. The rural free delivery, like
every means of intercourse, will not
be set back, but rather be larger fac
tor constantly in our civilization. Mr..
Olmsted, the great landscape gardener
who did so much to ruralize the cities,
said that still more important duty
was to urbanize the country, making
it more attractive and more nourish-
ing to the mind than the tenements of
a slum.
