WHY PAYDAY WAS LATE

By IRVING WILLIAMS

II was a fool to try it," the man
his feet. glanced over his dripping
clothes, and then grimly at the whirl-
ing torrent from which he had es-
capped.
Suddenly, with nervous fingers, he
fumbled about his waist. An express
sion of relief followed the inspection,
and he began TO walk rapidly down
the stream, keeping as close as pos
sible to the banks which confined the
yellow turmoil, and pushing his way
through the brush and underground
with sturdy disregard for scratches.
The man stationed himself at the
spot where the landing would be made,
and soon his companion in peril, a
strong bay mare, splashed YEARLY
ashore and joined her master with a
little "whicker" of recognition and SYM
pathy.
Wet and mud-stained, the pair made
their way through the underground
until they reached more open ground,
when the man vaulted into the saddle
and brisk canter brought them TO
the road by which they had been trav-
cling until they reached the fiood-swol-
len creek and their overthrow.
Accepting the impracticability Of con-
tinuing his journey, the man turned
his horses head on the back track.
Although darkness closed in rapid
ly the horse logged along with the
surety of thorough knowledge of the
way. The man sat easily in the sad
die. Miles had passed without change
in the nature of the surroundings nor
a word of command to the horse when,
without warning, the animal gave a
fierce snort of fright and sprang far
to the side of the road. The man, al
most unseated, recovered his balance
Immediately and without further ado
threw himself fat against the horses

IF SUGAR BoILs TOO LONG.
Add Few Tabespoonfuls of Cold
Water and Boil Again.

Boiling sugar and water for ices, or
icing is a somewhat ticklish opera
ton, as every cook knows. II
cooked too much it will be sugary, and
If not enough, it will run.
The latter fault can be remedied by
returning to the stove for few min
utes.
When the boiling has gone beyond
the desired degree the consistency
can be reduced by adding a few table
spoonfuls of cold water and boiling
again.
II the sugar has been burnt the taste
will remain, even though sugaring has
been prevented.
Never stir sugar and water while
boiling If you do not want it to granu-
late. Watch it carefully and take it
off at the critical moment, which in
most cases must be decided by exper.
fence.

What Women Have Done.

Mrs. NJ. f. Johnston OF Richmond,
Ind. gave an interesting account at
the Boston biennial of the G. F. w. c.
Of the Art association of that city,
which is ten years old. Five hun
dred dollars is appropriated each year
for the purchase of a picture,
and the council gives 500 for
the annual exhibition. The stand
ard in pictures and crafts has
changed, she says, and in the next few
years much is expected that will give
the children the opportunity OF great
er culture and knowledge of art.

Two riders emerged from the forest
into the road. Each carried a rife
and as they came into the half-light
of the paths clearing one threw his
piece to his shoulder, aiming at the
fast disappearing rider.

other. 1T may be someone else"
What's the difference?" snapped
the man, with his cheek to the gun

he spoke.
After a brief conference they turned
their horses to follow the single rider

he reached a certain stable door he

few moments later, having cared
for his horse. he was as regardful of
the hinges. He tiptoed as noiselessly
as heavy, water-soaked boots would
permit. across the back porch of the
house that occupied the same lot with
the barn. With the same caution he
unlocked the door and let himself into
the house. He passed through the
rooms, peering about intently, seem

EXPERIENCE IN THE USE OF
POULTRY FOODS.

Experience is the best teacher every
time 1t is fortunate that all DO not
have to go through the same expert
ence Some can have the benefit of
that which others have gone through.
It is not necessary that every poultry
keeper should use all the various foods
that are on the market, in order to
learn which is best and most reliable.
He can rely somewhat on the expert
ence of those who have used them.
