Every contact of human feet, horses

HESPER
HAMLIN GARLAND
| the daily happenings and impressis

the daily happenings and impressions
of his trip, and its discovery by Louis
in box of old papers had quite trans
formed his life. 1t had made him an
American, filling him with longing
for the "Hesperian mountains" as
the father called the romantic land he
had seen but once, but whose splcndor
lived with him throughout the remain
der of his short life.
AS they sat at the table in the dining
car Ann again listened indulgently to
her brothers plans, and permitted him
to order the dinner and assume all the
manners of a grown man, honestly try
ing to conceal her own WEAKNESS of
spirit, sincerely regretful of her bitter
words on the ferry.
Louis was not weary. He eyed every
man who came in, avid to discover
some western trait, some outward sign
of inward difference between himself
and his companions, but could not.
They were all quite commonplace bust
ness men, well dressed, close clipped
and urbane of manner. Some Of them
! were evidently statesmen going over to
Philadelphia or out to Chicago, and
they all ate long and with every evil
dence of enjoyment. Some of the wo-
men We're young and pretty-students
returning to the west for their summer
vacations.
Once more in the privacy Of her state
| room and looking out ut the landscape
reelng past, Ann sank back in her seat
wholly lismayed. "What in the world
can do out there?" she asked herself
most poignantly. "Of course they don't
!! play golf or tennis, and can't ride.
and, besides, whom could play with
Jeanette is not bit athletic" And
| again the small round of her interests
she had no gayeties-was borne In
upon her. II shall die of inactivity"
Louis excused himself quite formally
and went back into the smoking com
partment to sit with the men, while
Ann, left alone, gave herself up to {
close, half ironic study of the absurdity
Of her position. With dozen most de
sirable invitations to distinguished Lon

COMPOSITIONS IN PRISON.


Confinement Did Rot Apparently
Disturb These Men of Letters.
Imprisonment of the learned, wheth-
er legal or illegal, does not seem to
have disturbed the man of letters in
the progress of his studies.
1t was in prison that Boethius COM
posed his excellent book on the Con
solutions OF Philosophy" and Grotius
wrote his commentary on st. Mat

While III the dungeon of a monastery
in Portugal Buchanan composed his
excellent "Paraphrases on the Psalms
Of David"
"Fleta," well known and excellent
law production, was written byol man
confined in an English prison for life.
His name, however, was not preserved.
During his confinement for five years
on account of some state troubles Pc
lisson pursued with ardor his studies
in the Greek language and produced
several good compositions.
The best and NEST agreeable book IN
the Spanish language was composed By
Michael Cervantes during his captivity
In Burbary.
When Louis XII. was duke of Or.
leans he was taken prisoner at the bat
tie of st. Aubin and confined in the
tower of Bourges. While there he ap
piled himself to his neglected studies

became an able and enlightened mon
arch.

that girl of her age and tastes could
desire, she had turned away to face the
crude conditions of n western state in
warm glow of sisterly affection.
She took up the little red book, In
which she had taken only n languid in
tercst before, and, turning the leaves
ut random, fell upon bits of description
that stirred her unaccountably. Now
that she was about to enter this land
OF her fathers delight, the words took
on passion and power.
'She needs 10 be Shaken up by
good, hot love affair. ..onle man will
come
'"Thats what I've been saying, but
The man don't come. Shes twenty-six."
How awful!'
"Thats the part don't understand
about Ann. She has money, is hand
some, and yet here she is quite olsen
gagged, if we except her affair with
Peabody, which Adney writes is quite
MS tepid as any Of AIMS other affairs"
"Well, now, I'll tell you. She's come
to the right place to have men ride up
and demand attention. If she doesn't
have ut least an offer week it will not
be my fault. I'm going to invite all the
young fellows home to dinner while
she's here. Now watch things bile"

was, in fact, president Of the polo club,
secretary of the Sage Grass Golf asso-

cry collection of amiable sports in the
town. He knew all 1.-THE best fellows
in the state and now became more pop
ular than ever. The young men accept
ed his dinner invitations with graft
tude, and each and all paid prompt and
undisguised court to "the proud eastern
beauty" us one young fellow called
her. But they soon acknowledged fail
ure. Her reserve led to sense of in-
jury and was reported to be arrogance.
They We're seldom flattered by the
slightest unbending on her part.
However, several Of these young fell
lows turned out OH acquaintance to be
socially related to some Of her friends
in Boston and New York and in that
way won certain acceptance which
no mere civil engineer from Omaha or
professor from st. Louis could hope to
attain. They We're met on the conven-
tional plane, and they got no further
at any time.
Meanwhile Ann was really troubled
about Louis. He was eating less and
less each day, and his sleep was bro
ken. and at the end Of the first week
he fell in n state of collapse The excite
lnent, the late hours, the contact with
new types and, above all, the attempt
to understand the country and his re-
lationship with it had worA him out.
Then Ann said in her decisive way: 81
don't believe this altitude is good for
Louis. think l will take him home
again."
"Oh, don't do that. 1t isn't the alti-
tude; It's .he social whirl Send him
down to my ranch. It's hole of
place, but It's just what he needs
nothing to see but coyotes and cow
boys. Well put him under Rob Ray
mond's wing. ltob's my foreman and
a good chap. He'll take to the boy like
anything. I'm sure of It,"

The plan as worked ont bx Barnett

The plan as worked out by Barnett
involved trip on his automobile for
the four Of them; but he delayed too
long. Mrs Barnett entered upon one
of her poor SPELLS" and Donnelly,
faithful us big dog, promptly told
Louis to go ahead and not wait for the
party. II must stay and nurse Jean
nette."
Ann was afraid to let Louis go alone,
but Barnett poohpoohed her. Hell
get on all right. In fact, he'll rejoice
to be free of lis for day or two. I'll
wire the mail carrier to meet him and
take him down, and I'll send letter
to Raymond to look out for him. He'll
be more than safe. He'll be happy, and
he won't miss us in the least"
Ann insisted OH going down herself.
II want to see him properly settled"
she said.
Barnett slyly winked at his wife.
He really wanted to see Ann "jarred."
It'll do her good to rough it a little"
he said privately. Thereupon Louis,
trembling with eagerness, began to
"rustle his outfit" He bought pistol,
a rifle, broad trimmed hat, some blan-
kets and the most highly ornamental
cattleman's saddle In the Springs.
What a child you are!" Ann ex-
claimed as she watched him, her eyes
warming with love and pride. You're
dear boy!' she added rs he came to
her side.
He looked up at her tenderly. You're
good to me, Hesper," he said fervently.
"Sh! Don't ever call me by that alb
surd name."
at isn't absurd like It," he said.
Barnett, seated at his telephone,
made every arrangement for them
you'll be met by old Jones, and when
you get there Mrs. Jones will look aft
er you. She's very good cook, &C
don't get nervous when you see her
She's not pretty. Raymond will do his
best to entertain you, and when yor
come back you'd better ask Raymond
to put his own horses in the cart and

The Panther. of India and How They
Secure Their Prey.

The Panthcrs of India and How They
Secure Their Prey.
In certain parts of India the panther
Is named "bipat," which means calam-
fty, for he is an ever present scourge
among the people. His proper name is
tendwa. 1t is the habit of these pan
theirs for family of them to quarter
themselves On circle Of villages with.
in convenient distance of their nightly
prowlings. AS soon as the sun is below
the horizon they sally forth from the
cover of the surrounding forests and
watch the paths by which the village
herds and flocks return to their resting
places. II meal cannot be secured
then, later on they enter village and
patrol the dark lanes i'll the boldest
manner. Nothing comes amiss to them
that is not too large and heavy fol
their strength.
Children, dogs, goats and the young
cattle are their favorite quarry. They
are bold enough to dash into hut even
with light burning in it, seize their
prey, then rush away with lightning
speed and. with a noiselessness that
is marvellous, retreat with their prize
to the nearest cover and there deyour
it. In the morning the poor yillager,
following the tracks of the retreating
animal, soon arrives ut the few re-
mains of his goat or calf or maybe his
child.
In the following way the natives get
their revenge: \ stray dog is caught in
the village and is tied out on the path
generally frequented by the panther
family. The bait is carried off during
the night and devoured close by. Mex
day machml platform) is fixed in {
convenient tree, and in the evening {
kid is tied on the spot occupied by tn,
dog on the previous night. The sports
man settles himself in the machan be
fore sunset and begins his watch.
Terrified by his lonely position, tn
kid begins frantic bleating, which
soon attracts the panther marauders
which are Sinking about near the spo
where they found their last meal. 4
short stalk soon brings them to the kit
and dirccly under the concealed
sportsman. .7ho shoots the beasts. l
is impossible to follow the panther
into the impene rable cover they FIRE
qucnt, and they never show themselvc
in daylight.-Chicago News.

Nelson's attachment to his friends
was as ardent as his courage. When he

him on his great actions. After this
euloglum he .condoled with him OH the
