Katie could bear no more. With a
cry of childish wrath, she fell upon
the bully from behind, and put in
some really effective work with her
hands and feet. Still, the battle
might have been to the strong had not
Willie Thomson appeared on the
scene. Willie was not muscular, but
he had an idea. Signing to Katie to
keep clear, he suddenly grabbed the
bully's right leg, and brought him to
the ground with Macgregor on top.
The latter shook himself free, and
stood up a sorry picture.
The bully rose with roar, and
made for Willie Thomson, who dashed
off, and did not reach his own door a
second too soon. There he had the
good fortune to meet his elder brother,
who administered to the bully troun-
cling which would have been longer
but for the arrival of policeman, but
which could not have been stronger
while it lasted
And. left to themselves, Katie and
Macgregor dissolved in tears. She

Her words were balm to his sore
sDjrit. But he was feeling weak and
shaky, and it was while ere the tears
ceased.
"Wipe yer cen on ma pinny," said
Katie, at last; and somehow he
bowed and obeyed her
Then together they slowly climbed
the stairs, bearing the damaged bar

Katie spoke softly and encouragingly,
while Macgregor shifted violently to
keep the tears from flowing afresh.
She would fain have kissed her hero.

A Pull Without Pay.

A San Francisco dentist went to
luncheon one day lately and sat at a

Bush With 1000 Roses.

Janitor Robert Bowker of the Tao
onnet club house in Winslow, Me-,
started the year with an attempt to
raise 1000 roses on a big bush which
has been in his care for several years.
The last rose was plucked Sunday.
A careful count has been kept of
the roses which have been taken from
the bush with the knowledge and con-
sent of the janitor and they figure up
to 1921, and it is believed that enough
roses have been taken by the people
passing in the night to have made the
grand total at least 1000.

the demand is to be met.

Every pail has a close fitting flanged
cover which can be quickly adjusted,
and when fixed, effectually seals the

sensibility, his skull fractured ana his
head covered with Commissions, and
his son, Arthur Mills, badly bruised
and cut about the head and face. The
assailants Of the two men are I'M

the authorities have been unable to
secure clew from which to work to-

Mr.. Mills is past sixty years Of age,
His son is about twenty-five years of
age. They reside at Throckmorton,
where the family is prominent. A
short time ago, Mills ana his son came
from their home to the ranch owned
by the father near Belknap, in Young
county. They slept together Sunday
night. Before daylight Monday morn
ing, the young man was partly arous-

heavy instrument-probably, accord

was being used by the assassins on
his father. He -endeavored to rise,
and the miscreants detecting his move

struck him down.
The waking of the young man may
have saved his fathers life, for the
efforts of those making the attack
were Immediately transferred to the
younger man, who, in his endeavor to
make his way across the room to
get weapons, was repeatedly beaten to
the floor, and as often escaped a
death blow, courageously maintaining
his presence of mind, so that the as
sassins were alarmed at their failure
to subdue him, and hurrie1ly escaped
in the darkness.
