CHAPTER VI

III FTER fording Sweetwater river
IN several times to throw pur-
I \ suit off tie track Buck Nc
d b Kee and Bud Lane entered an
arroyo to rest their mounts, and hold
council as to their future movements.
During the fight both had been silent
Mckee was busy revolving plans for
escape in his mind. and Bud was
brooding over the tragic ending Of the
lawless adventure into which he had
been led by his companion.
When Mckee callOusly informed him
that the agent had been killed in the
encounter Bud was too Mortified to
speak. A dry sob arose in his throat
at the thought of his old friend lying
dead all alone in the station. His
first impulse was to turn back to Flor
ence and surrender himself to the
sheriff. Had this entailed the pun
ishment of himself alone he would
have done so, but he still retained a
blind loyalty in his associate and prin-
cipal in the crime. Murder, it seemed
was to be expected when one took the
law in his own hands to right an in
Justice. He didn't clearly understand
1t. 1t was his first experience with a
killing. The heartlesSness Of Mckee
both awed and Mortified him. Evident
~ the half breed was accustomed to
such actions. 1t appeared to be en-
tirely justified in his code. So Bud
followed in dull silence the niasterful
man who had involved hin. in the fear,
full deed
When they dismounted, however.
his pent-up emotion burst forth.
You said there would be no killing"
he gasped, passing his hand wearily
across his forehead as if to wipe out
the memory Of the crime.
well, what did the old fool pull his
gun fer:' grumbled Mckee petuant-
| ly. as if Terrill Were the aggressor in
the encounter.
Bud threw himself YEARLY on the
ground.
I'D give the rest of my life to undo
today's work" he groaned, speaking
more to himself than to his compan-
ion.
Mckee heard him. His anger began
to rise. If Bud weakened detection
was certain. Flight back to Texas
must be started without delay. If he
could strengthen the will of the boy

BRISK WALKING IN RAIN
BEAUTIFIES THE COMPLEXION
But Care Most Be Taken Not to Contract Colds
While Tramping in Wet.

Walking in the rain. for persons who
are not susceptible to cold, is an excellent
tonic for the complexion. but one that
must be prepared for in order to get the
most benefit.
For instance. when taking such tramp
the clothing must be warm, the skirts OF
length not to drag wetness about the
ankles. for nothing will give cold more
quickly than the constant stopping of wet
garments about the feet.
The ideal walking costume for wet
weather consists of thick and warm,
but not heavy, short skirt. The length
need not be SO abbreviated as TO be con-
spicuous in city streets. and from this
season OF a blouse of thin French fan
mel and short jacket are best for the
upper portion of the body. \ jacket is
far better for walking than A long coat,
as the latter is apt to drag or pull when
the wearer is exercising. and short gar
ment gives freedom of movement.
A soft felt hat of color to match the
wings and a band of soft silk. Water.
unless floods descend will not hurt it,
and thus the carrying of umbrella is
ohviated.
No boots are as serviceable as those
that are a trife higher than regula ton.
These walking boots come about half
way to The knee. are thck-soled lace,
and viii protect ankles and calves from
dampneSS. 1t is an unfortunate fact that
any SKIRT longer than knee length be-
comes damp about the bottom. as il is

rubbed by the heels during walking.
Boomers of silk are to be preferred to
petticoats for this particular costume.
Clad in such fashion the risk of damp
ness or chill penetrating to the skin is
almost impossible. One may be in a
drenching rain and come forth I'M
scathed, for should the jacket be wet
through the shoulders the latter are st II
protected by the flannel blouse.
But to derive benefit it is essential that
the exercise shall be rapid Just ten min
utes brisk walking in a steady doWnpour
will make the blood circulate with vigOr
and put the pedestrian into a delightful
glow. However. it is absolutely impera-
tive to keep moving rapidly long as
one is out of doors. and the length of
time one walks i'm the rain must be regu-
lated by individual strength, as we'll as by
inclination. One who has not been accus-
teen minutes, and care should be taken
not to get far away from home as to
delay in returning. To become overtired
is too often the means OF contracting
cold, nor must it be thought that to go
home in motor or trolley will be health
full Constant motion Of the muscles is
the only thing that will prevent cold.
On going into the house damp garments
must be removed Immediately and IL
there is the least suspicion of moisture
on the feet, stockings as we'll as shoes
and. of course. another dress must be
donned.
| wish girls who have not tried this
rainy day treatment would give it fair
test, for | am sure they would enjoy ii
and would be benefited. if oniy they
would take the precaution not TO contract
cold. MARGARET MIXTER.

TO TRANSPLANT FERNS.

The chief secret of successfully trans
ferrirg plants from outdoor gardens TO
tie house in autumn lies in changing
their temperature by degrees.
BY gradual change OF temperature Is
meant taking the plants from the ground
TO The porch or window stills and keeping
them out of doors before shutting them
into the closeness of the house.
Few owners of ferns are SO rash as TO
iiave the plants taken from the pots and
put into the ground during the summer
bat should they have done SO. however
the roots will not be hurt by transporting
81 the work is carefully done. If, how
ever, a fern is set back by the upheaval
the owner has usually the compensation
OF being able to divide it into two, or even
three roots. for A characteristic OF Bos-
ton and other fer-S is that when freed
from pots and put into the ground they
spread, as do lilaCs. so that when the time
comes for potting the trailing root is care
fully cut and the plant divided. No rule
caI be laid down for selecting the exact
rpot for the division, but generally speak
ing there is no difficulty IN locating it, for
there Is usually a space between the little
isw fronds and the parent root. Natural
~ the cut Is made in such n place.
When planting ferns for the house put
them into pots that are much larger than
tho roots at the time require, for If given
space in which to spread they VIII have q
more luxuriant growth.
Rubber plants transferred from the
ground 10 pots in quite the same manner
as are ferns. Indeed. the same procedure
prevails for all roots, and SO, too. does the
preparation for the pots. And let IL be
recorded here that unless pots are selected
and filed with eNactn.Ss no plant will
grow In the house.
