Mother Borton looked anxious at
this, and shook her head.

said decidedly. you must have

Mother Borton gave an evil grin,
and absorbed another inward laugh.

from her mirth. There's one more

with thanks. and as a compromise
agreed to call for my bodyguard in the
early morning. Rejoining Corson, I
explained Mother Borton's theory of
the plot that had brought me thither.

AN HONEST MAN.

The Kentucky State Journal has
this to say about Ed o. Leigh:
1.-The state Journal hopes that
every member of the house will vote
for Edward o. Leigh for assistant
clerk. No more man Is more quail
i.ed for the position, having been
chief clerk a session or two. and no
Democrat is more deserving of the
job. He is clever. painstaking and
obliging, and no one who votes for
him will regret 1t. We have known
Ed for many years and have always
found him the truest of friends and
that noblest work of God'-an honest
man."

which when at full tide sweep aside

His had been a lonely life since
leaving West Point and joining his
regiment-a life passed largely among
rough men and upon the desolate
plains. For months at a time he had
known nothing of refinement, nor en-
joyed social intercourse with the OPP

impassibility. the heart continued to
beat with fierce desire, biding the time
when it should enjoy its own sweet

CHAPTER XIV.
In Honor of Miss Spencer.

Mr.. Jack Moffat. president of the
Bachelor Miners Pleasure club, had
embraced the idea of a reception for
Miss Spencer with unbOunded enthu.
siasm. Indeed, the earliest conception
of such an event found birth within
his fertile brain, and from the first he
determined upon making 1t the most
notable social function ever known in
that portion of the territory.
The large space above the Occi-
dental was secured for the occasion,
the obstructing subdivisions knocked
away, an entrance constructed with an
outside stairway leading up from va
cant lot, and the passage connecting
the saloon boarded up. Incidentally,
Mr.. Moffat took occasion to announce
that If ANY snooZer got drunk and
came up them stairs" he would be
thrown bodily out of a window. Mr.
Mcneil, who was observing the pre-.
liminary proceedings with deep inter.
est from a pile of lumber Opposite
sarcastically intimated that under such
circumstances the attendance of club
members would be necessarily limited
Mr.. Moffat's reply it is manifestly i'm
possible to quote literally. Mrs. Guf
fly was employed to provide the requi
site refreshments in the palatial din
ing-hall of the hotel while Buck Ma
son, the vigilant town marshal, popu
larly supposed to know intimately the
face of every "rounder" in the terri
tory, agreed to collect the cards Of in
vitation at the door, and bar out OBJ
noxious visitors.
The invited guests arrived from the
sparsely settled regions round about

Easy Method of Dyeing
Finery That Has Faded

This, the flag end of the season, is
the time when white dresses or suits
of serge, henrietta and panama pre-
sent, from frequent cleanings, yell
lowed and woe-begone appearance
which, If not remedied, consigns them
forthwith to the "give-away" pile. The
remedy lies in dyeing them, and the
following recipe will be found very
satisfactory:
To one tube of oil paint add enough
gasoline to dissolve it completely.
The best way to obtain this result is
to squeeze the paint into small bot
tie partly filled with gasoline; let 1t
dissolve and shake it well. Then into
the basin pour enough gasoline to
cover entirely the article to be dyed.
Add to this enough of the mixture in
the bottle to color it the desired tint
more for darker shades, less for light
er. Dip the article repeatedly. allow
ing it to dry each time until the re-
quired tint is obtained.
To select the right colored paint is
an important item. For pinks and
reds. carmine is best, for blues marine
blue is most satisfactory, and burnt
sepia produces a beautiful woody
brown.
Not only for wooden and mixed goods
is this recipe practicable. Laces, net
waists, hose, canvas shoes and lace
hats can all be created by the same
method. Thus at very small outlay an
entire costume, shoes, hose, suit, hat
and waist, can be transformed from
dingy white to some dark shade.
