There was not a cowardly drop in

evidence that his tastes were really

dimly on the table. The SCOT of many
burnings adhered to the chimney's

He peered out indifferently. The
hoof-beats rang nearer and nearer,
clattered through the stable yards and,
before they ceased, two or three re-
yolver shots rang out in rapid success

CHAPTER x.-Continued.

1T beats the devil-for a fac" He
looked helplessly over his shoulder,
The man was beyond sight and sound.
"If he hadn't said he was goin' for
doc and belonged to the X Y H." he
pondered. He was swearing because
he could not think of way out of the
maze of contradiction. He was so
seldom at loss, this braggadocio Jim.
well, l reckon l won't get any hep
a moonin' here less'n l wait here till
that son-of-a-gun comes back from
seein' doc. Lord, I'd have to camp
out all night. Guess I'll be movin'
on. But I'm plumb a-foot for an idee
as to how that idjit got here from the
X Y T."
He shrugged his shoulders and pick
ed up the fallen bride rein. He kept
on straight ahead, and it was well for
him that he did so. 1t was not the
last of the affair. The old, prosaic
trail seemed fairly bristling with
ghostly visitants that night. He had
gone but a scant quarter-mile when
he met second horseman, and this
time he would have sworn on oath
that the man had not been on the
forward trail as long as he should
have been to be seen in the starlight.
Jim was not doing now and he knew
what he was about. The fellow struck
the trail from across country and from
tie sheds.
"The devil!" he muttered, and this
time he was in deep and terrible earn
est.
"Hullo!" the fellow accosted him,
genially.
TOO damned pleasant-the whole
bunch of EN-" found quick lodgment
in Jim's active brain. Aloud, he re-
sponded with answering good nature,
"Hullo!"
where ye goin'?" asked the other,
as if in no particular haste to part
company. If he had met with a sur
prise, he carried it off well.

and suspicion, too. "Why?" he asked.

He had an itching desire to ask if
this night traveller, too, was in quest
of the doctor, but caution held him
silent. He had need to proceed wari-

judged he had gone far enough to

How 70 Mend Mating.

qoftcr in moving a heavy piece of
furnitDre the mating on the floor will
have an ugly hole torn in it, says the
Chicago News. The torn place is usu-
ally where it is the most noticeable
and cannot be covered with a rug.
There is an excellent way to remedy
this defect by darning the place with
ratlia Of colors to match the mating
straw. 1t is much better than threads,
anu The work can be neatly done. 1t
may be necessary to run heavy cords
across the work through which the
rAffia is to he woven. The threads are
sewed in place with a large darning
needle. Torn places on the edge Of
mating can be remedied in the same
manner. It is best to sew mating to-
gethcr with q loose stitch, using very
heavy linen thread for the purpose,
but where this cannot be done then use
the regular mating tackS or ordinary
taCks, placing first one side, then the
opposite side, to prevent the baggy ap-
Enarauce which so often occurs. New
ar use q claw hammer to lift tacks
from mating, since it invariably breaks
the straw. Get an old blunt chiSel,
place it beneath the mating and tack
hesd, pound gently with the hammer
:sn3 pry tho tack up. This will draw
tie tack out straight and leave the
mating unbroken.

The First Test of Babv's Mind,

Just as the germ of the flower Is
contained in the tiniest seed and will
reveal itself with an absolute certainty
as will rootlets and leaves when prop
err conditions of heat, moisture and
light are accorded, so the germ of the
mind of a child is present in his little
body and will develop and unfold it.
self with the growth of the latter.
The only way to stop the growth OF
a child's mind is to stop his body from
growing. Appetite is the mother OF
the mind, and muscle is its father
At it's lowest estimate the body with
its brain is the tool Of the mind, and
good work cannot be done without
good tools.
The first test Of muscular vigor, the
hand grasp, is an indication of the
mental possibilities as well. Not one
child out of hundred who at ten days
Of age grasps firmly and clings to a
finger or pencil rubbed against his
pink little palm will ever fall below
the average intelligence Of his race

Love and Death.

Very closely love and death dwell to-
gether-high up in the world Of nature
and low down! The following well
authenticated story comes from North
amptonshire: A sparrow hawk was
killed when feeding her young. -Four
days later when the nest was exam
ined it was found that the little male
bird, working alone for the family,
had brought home forty-eght birds
viz, six larks. nine swallows. one bull
finch, seven robins, six sparrows, six
hedge sparrows. nine blue tits, three
chattinches and one wren.
What spirit Of dutifulness along
with ferocity is here exhibited on the
part Of the small widower hawk, who
evidently thought that the best way of
respecting the memory of his departed
consort was to feed her children we'll!
And in doing this how absolutely OBJ
livious nature had rendered him Of

lows. bulltinches and robins. whose
Offspring-Or the parents themselves
his relentless parental affection thus
annexed. The direst cruelty animated
by the tenderest love! The most saw
age egotism prompted by an entire I'M
selfshness. Such are some Of the
problems which nature furnishes, but
will not solve.-London Telegraph.

CARE OF SKIRTS.
How to Clean, Press and Lay Thorn
Away Properly.

Here is a practical plan for cleaning
and pressing skirts. says the New
York American: Brush them first, then
v3Jisk off with a clean brush damp
enG.d in ammonia and warm water.
Any stain can be removed if rubbed
out at once with a mixture of equal
parts of ammonia. alcohol and water.
After the skirt is thoroughly cleaned,
brushed and dried lay it on the press
Ia the proper fold, cover the skirt with
:, piece of dark wooden goods which
has been previously dampened and
then press.
To remove dust from silk skirts do
not use Il brush, but wipe them with Il
piece Of vslVetcen, which will not wear
the silk and will remove the dust very
much more satisfactorily than brush.
Silk or ruG,ed skirts should be fitted
out with tapes sewed on the lower
vuffles, by which they may be hung
upside down. This prevents the skirt
from sagging and the ruffles from
dropping.
