"He dictated with certainty and ra-

The Maiden Insurance company is a
singular Denmark institution 1t is
confined to the nobility, and the noble
man, as soon as female child is born
to him, enrolls her name on the com
pany's books and pays in n certain
sum and thereafter fixed annual
amount to the treasury. When the
young girl has reached the age OF
twenty-one she is entitled to fixed
income and to an elegant suit of apart
ments. and this income and this resi-
dence. both almost princely, are hers
until she either marries or dies. The
society has existed for generations. II

the truth of the old saying, "Silence is

approaches genius, though he was full

Mellin used to make mattresses for
a living. One day native of the place
entered his shop and asked, Boss,
what's the best kind of mattress?"
"Husks," was the laconlc response of
Boss.
Twenty years later, so runs the ira
dition, the same man again entered the
shop and again asked what, in the

mattress.

H~E llnllllOnalre New Yorker, mad
Va gone to Texas in order to
straighten out several bust
ness complications. Besides his north
ern interests, he was connected with
many new enterprises in the southwest,
mines in Arizona. cattle and cattle
lands in the Lone Star State and
projected railroads through the cotton
belt. For a time his vast schemes had
prospered until his ideas as to their
conduct began to clash with those of
old Bill Williams, the great Texan
land Spectator and cattle king, with
whom Renwyck had for many years
joined forces, the one controlling the
east, the other the west Correspond
ence had proved unsatisfactory; there
fore the New Yorker determined to set
tie the business personally by flying
trip to San Antonio, Tex, where lie
intended to beard the lion in his den.
Miss Harriet Renwscli, the only
daughter of the capitalist, had induced
her father to take her with him on the
trip. She was II beautiful and high
spirited girl of twenty years, the idol
Of the old mans heart, and the one
person on earth who could manage him
even when his arrogant temper reached
the outbreaking point. On their ar
rival at San Antonio they learned that
Mr.. Williams had departed the week
before for his cattle ranch, which lay
about 200 miles to the westward. He
was not expected to return for some
time, so Mr.. Renwyci determined to
follow him without delay.
The two travellers took branch road
which carried them to n point twenty
miles distant from the ranch, and here
they engaged horses, camping outfit
and guide for the balance of the
trip. Both We're used to the saddle,
and to Miss Renwyck this long free
gallop across the plains was a new and
eNhilarating experience. 1t was spring
time, when the prairies are mt their
best, rolling away like some vast green
sea as far as the eye can reach. The
sun, which in another month would
parch the grass to n dry and crackly
stubble, now sent out lazy, comfort

assured her that there was not the
least danger "unlest she projicked with
the mavericks" This, being inter-
preted, was a warning against modest

was not to Miss Renwyck's taste for
various reasons, and she soon lost all
fear OF the sad eyed brutes before her.
