stream, they veered to the left, rushing on
tremendously toward the river as if they
would intercept his line of retreat.
Glen, perceiving this, felt his heart sink
within him, for it seemed as if his last chance
were surely gone since the furious pace of
the cattle would certainly enable them to
oyertake him before he could reach the
stream.
And this meant horrible death, either by
being trampled beneath the sharp hoofs of
the animals or being impaled on their long,
sharp horns.
Onward came the surging mass of wild
steers. believing and snorting as if already
conscious of their triumph.
Glen was ready to drop in sheer despair A
half-dozen steers, which, as 1T were, led the
believing herd, were already within twenty
yards of him, and it was fully twice that dis
tance to the river-bank ahead.
Glen's head began to swim; his heart grew
faint within him; every limb was quivering
like an aspen, and he was sure he could feel
the hot breath of the mad brutes on his back.
But still he kept on, casting one look behind
of utter despair, as if, like the brave lad he
was, he would die with his face at least to
the foe.
All, what has happened?
He saw the leading steers go tumbling down
and roll over on their broad sides. Then
those behind plunged madly over the PROSTATE
forms of the leaders, and the believing and
the snorting was louder than ever. A few,
swerving out of the direct course thus avoid

This incident gave Glen chance he had
not looked for, and, by a desperate squirt, he
reached the edge of the bluff that constl-
tuted the river-bank, and went tumbGng over
and out of sight in twinkling

tions but happy enough and thankful for his
wonderful escape, and surveyed the prairie.
Then he went to where the leaders had gone
crashing down, and found the mystery of
their sudden fall explained.
A village of prairie dogs had once existed
here, and the plain all about was full of
holes where the little rodents had burrowed
in warrens, the ground being so honeycombed
that the moment the cattle reached the spot,
their ponderous hoofs went deep into the
ground, hurting the steers forward in, great
confusion.
Jules, from distance, had witnessed his
chum's race for life in an agony of terror, but
utterly unable to render any assistance; and
now that the latter was safe, he was so de-
lighted that he leaped from his pony, and,
running up, embraced Glen most affectionately.
Having secured the latter's saddle and rifle,
which, being beyond the course of the wild
cattle, were uninjured. and having adjusted
the former to his pony, which had followed

Sally had told the story of his threat over

Billy as the last and most enchanting of dolls

Sally had learned that the shortest route
to this making up Jay in letting Billy quite

dreadfully concerned to find her asleep. She
did not mean to be really asleep-only to
make him believe so. But what with the soft,
warm air, the bees buzzing outside, and the
quiet house, she dropped insensibly into a
doze that lasted until her mother said:

"Why, isn't he at the house?" Sally asked,

Sally, his mother, had neglected him
shamefully all day, she had been SO absorbed
in dressing up her spare room. Commonly
she and her small son were the best of friends
Billy was Just turned three, and Sally but
sixteen years older He was, if anything,
rather more grown up than she. Indeed, he

had let him ather his face all over with his

body, pointing to the white puffs on his cheeks

But when at last they were adjusted prop

suit was worth the trouble-and if John Kem-

visit had made all this pother, did not like it,

of her taste.
The room was inviting-big, square, cool
and dim, with four windows and two doors.
One door opened into the hall, the other up
on the narrow back porch, There was rose
garlanded paper on the walls, and new rag
rugs were scattered literally about the clean

white curtains, and brought in the smell of
roses and honeysuckle from the near garden.

Hints to the Hostess.

Don't Invite more guests than you can seat comfortably at your table. A space of two feet should be allowed for each person.
 Don't send your plate away, or ap- pear to have done eating, till your guests have all finished.
 Don't discuss politics or religious matters unless you know your guests are all in sympathy with you.
 Don't notice if your guests drink water. They may or may not be tee tota'ers from principle, but in any case they drink what they like and prefer to q without attracting attention.
 Don't press your guests to take more or tn partahe of any special kind of food They know they are welcome to all they want and such pressing is em- barrassing.
 Don't betray anxiety if the servants are awkward or not quite up to their work and, above all, don't correct them Their error will probably escape notice, but the correction would attract the attention of your guests. When any II Title contretemps occurs don't appear aware of 1t, but by chatting on com posedly divert peoples attention from tt

ITSTHE WHOLESOME
 GIRL WHO WINS

The very best thing that any girl can be is wholesome, both mentally and physically
 Keep your body in health and your mind will be sane and normal,
 Stay out of doors as much as possi- ble and let the fresh air sweep the cob webs from your brain. Dream your day dreams if you must, but let them be pure and sweet day dreams.
 Don't dream over your work. Hands and brain must work in unison if you would do good work Remember that your duty is toward the person who Is paying you for your services, and you are betraying trust if you do not live up to 1t.
 After your work is done, relax for a few minutes. It will rest every tired nerve of your body and will fill your brain with new thoughts.
 Don't fill your mind with impossible heroes out of cheap novels. Keep your heart pure and sweet for the hero who is sure to come along some day, the manly, clean-living young hero that ev- cry girl has chance to win if she Is wholesome and attractive.
 The better your physical health the happier your mental outlook will be.
 If you are weak and miserable of body it Is very hard always to see the sunny side of life.
 If you keep late hours you will never look wholesome. You can't stay up half the night and look fresh and attrac- tive in the morning.
 No matter how pretty you are, weary, jaded expression will detract seriously from your appearance.
 Keep your heart and mind pure by absolutely discouraging anything ap- preaching vulgarity of word or deed on the part of your associates. ..,

FASHION HINTS
 FOR MIDSU MINER Too Much Needlework Not Possible in Sheer

No amount of needlework is consid- cred to extravagant for the garnish- ment of some of the sheer lingerie models With simple outlines and less exaggerated fluffiness than was in fa- vor for the pretentlous tea gown, the modish neg1igee of to-day is treated to quantities ofintricate hand embroidery, alternating with little lace insets. Such robes are usually worn over pale color ed silk foundations to bring out the de- signs in the decorations. An adorable gown of this character is fashioned on empire lines, with short-waisted body gracefully draped around the shoulders with a gorgeously embroidered fichu.
