Donald Michener heard her
plainly speaking to her father
will you tell Mr.. Michener
that do not care to see him, and that
do not care to have him call on me
again.
But, Christine" ">her father protested
doubtfully. Il can't carry a message like
that unless the mans insulted you-and
then" he ended grimly, Il should carry
more than message"
AS Michener appeared in the doorway
Mr.. Laing started toward him. 1t was
from her father Christine got her tenn
per; but she stepped resolutely between
them. ~He isn't worth it, father" she
said, turning her back on Michener.
Michener was sorry. He walked out
of the room in such cold rage, muir
der would not have abated it. When
the primal man is accused he would as
lief fight his host in his own house as
any one else. Rage and modification
SO filed his heart that he had no room
for grief, though he had lost the girl
he had tried long to win. And the in
justice of it, For it was unjust, the
measure of punishment meted out to him.
The next day Christine went riding
with Kerningham. She was in a bad
humor. She was angry with herself for
the way she had treated Donald Mich
ener; she was more angry at him, be-
cause of the way she had treated him
and she was most angry at Kerningham
for daring to ride beside her in Mich
marks when she was not in the humor
for snug remarks. In passing it may
be said that an unprejudiced person
would not have called Kerningham's re-
marks any smugger than Michener's. In
Geed, they were probably the more SEN
Ahle of the two. at least when talking

diced person was judge. and Mr.. Kern
ingham's sentence was all ready TO he
pronounced should suitable occasion
arise. But no suitable occasion arose.
Christine sulked; Christine was sarcas-
tic; Christine was rude; Kcrningham
was imperurbably polite and good
naturcd
Are YOU tired today" Kcrningham
asked, after an unusually snappish speech
of the lady's.
Riding never makes me tired" she
answered CURLY.

particularly with the girl two. lengths
ahead, her horse shower;ng him with
gravel and dirt at every jump and gradu-
ally drawing farther away. Kerningham
swore a little swear to himself which,
considering his good nature all through
the ride, was no more than his due, and
cracked his horse again with his crop.
Michcner, out riding by himself, heard
the rataplan of horses hoofs far down
the road and looked back. His ride had
not been pleasant one either. He was
on a half-broken thoroughbred and his
temper was not in the elastic state that
it should have been for training high
strung filly.
At the sound of horses running be-
hind him. Michener looked around and
saw a girl on a black horse flying up
the street, her escort tearing along be-
hind her.
AS the running black came abreast OF
Michener his heart seemed to stop still
for moment as he saw that the girl
was Christine. Then he froze into re-
sentiment again as he noticed that she
sat perfectly collectedly on the horse
and appealed to him in no way. AS
matter of fact, she had not in the least
lost control of her horse and was only
working off her temper in this way.
Michener's thoroughbred, with her
long stride, easily kept pace with the olat-
tering run of the round little black Chris
tine was on.
Il beg your pardon" Miehener said.
as s,ifiiy as the circumstances permitted,
but is your horse running away" He
tried to raise his hat formally, but it
blew off before he reached the brini.
Christine gave him side-glance.
YES" she answered; stop him for
me-"
She dropped the reins and dug her
spur into ber horses flank, prodding him
viciously.
The horse sprang more madly for
ward.
Miehcner was obliged TO spur his own
mare to keep up with the others sudden
Jump. Then he had to use both hands
to keep his iilly. her racing blood afro,
from running away from Christine's poo<
little eonestoga. He soon had his hand

Suddenly, as the two leaders swept
around a slight bend in the road. they
saw beneath railroad trestie three hun
dred yards ahead. two four-horse teams,
stopped for a friendly chat, completely
blocking the road. Both riders realized
the danger instantly Christine reached
for the reins she had dropped and began
saving her horses mouth as hard as she
could, but she was lit,le frightened and
forgot to take her spur from the blacks
flank. Michener glanced at the two sides

Old-Time Curtscy Revived.
Along with the new fad of the wom-
ans military salute comes revival of
the old-fashioned curtsey. 1t has not
been adopted generally to replace the
slight inclination OF the head or the
more graceful bending of the body at
the waist line, but in Newport this sea-
son many Of the younger women have
been seen to take the skirts between
fOrefingers and thumbs and drop the
old-time curtsey with as much ease as
their grandmothers ever showed With
the full skirts of this coming season
the curtsey probably will be popular.
At any rate it is change, and that
is all society wants.
1t requires lots of practice before
a minor to get just the right dip

think we were little selfish. No, not
Il bit of it, my dear. We have the
law on our side. In st. Louis not
long ago man had his wife arrested
for filching money from his trousers
pocket while he slept the sleep of the
just and righteous. When she was
brought before the iudge-a good
judge he was, tOO-his decision was
that any woman is entitled to proper
support according to her position and
standing in the world and her hus-
bands salary. If she does not get
what is her due, and of course she
must use her judgment, she is en-
titled to all she can take either from
his trousers pocket or elsewhere. So
our opinion still is, if you do not feel
you are getting what is your due, help
yourself.

The society women of Pittsburg,
who ostracized Madame Bransen, a
noted vocalist. for appearing at a
function in ancient sandals and minus
stockings, were displaying an amount
of ignorance objectionable in women
of their class, and which it would be
impossible to find among those of the
same class in Europe.
Grecian women-models of grace
and beauty of form-are always pic
tured in sandals, and even in the pres
ent day, the women of the AbruZzi in
the south of Italy, wear nothing on
the feet but sandals.
The society women of Pittsburg
should travel and keep travelling until
they have found out what the world
outside of Pittsburg is like, instead Of
displaying a provncialism which,
thank heaven, we of the west are free
from.
