it is plain that he has never done a

She laughed
"You needn't laugh, Helen"

"Yes; good-by shall not be back

Mrs. Reginald had gained her point
without letting him know it.
Another five minutes later she went

municate with me again"
There was no signature. The send
er's features were hidden, and not the
slightest clue was left whereby the
origin of the message might be traced.
When she got home the first thing
she did was to take letter out of
her pocket, put it on the fire and
watch it become ashes. This was how
she would have treated such docu-
ment before going out, but the ad-
dress of the writer was so important
a thing that she dared not trust to
memory in sending the wire She
feared even now that some mistake
would prevent the message from
reaching it's destination. OF course
she read it once agai., terore burning
it.

"Ah!" sighed Mrs. Reginald compla-
Gently, watching the last of the letter
in the fire. "A man in love is ship

thank heaven, / have sufficient CON-

A little rest soon restored the good
spirits of Mrs. Reginald. She had Just
taken cup of tea. which cheered her
considerably; and after Jane had
cleared away and lit the lamp, she sat
thinking of her eventful day. The
hour at which the upsetting visit had
been threatened was past.
Suddenly the door bell rang, and
Jane hurried down.

Perhaps you have seen so-called
wild west'' shows and all manner OF
circus events, with lot OF poor, tired
'.Wild'' ponies, lashed into a feeble
turn around q saWdust ring. Don't
think that that is reality. It's no more
like the real thing than the race of
painted go-carts is like the fury and
FIRE of the old chariot contests in the
Roman Coliseum.
The 101 Ranch, most famous in all
the world. will transplant itself for a
day at Donaldsonville on Monday,
Nov. 2, and its army of picturesque
men and women, boys and girls-the
most daring and skilful in the coun.
try-will try conclusions in a big out
door arena. You'll see reality, real
ity in full measure, PRESSED down 3ad

The elimaxes and thrills come instSe
arena, where gather Indians f kom
many tribes; grizzled old piokeeF
craftsmen with their numbering prasga
schooners and stage coaches; suns
burned cowboys in fringed t'chaps"
and gay accoutrements; pretty cow
girls; lunches of unbroken horses
from the range; herds of wild, long
horned steers; superb survivors of
the buffaloes who once roamed the
prairies in millions and are now
nearly extinct; champions of gun and
lariat; and all the other figures and
features of the time before barbed
wire blocked the trails and when the

Every participant is an employee of
the Miller Brothers, who own the
great 101 Ranch, which covers more
