it wasn't logical at all for any other

not polite. Diplomatic relations were
busted, and one of us called the other
a liar. l don't remember which one
it was, but that makes no difference

The room was full of the boys,
some playing cards and some at the

Dutch Henry were serving drinks.

theirs. And if we wanted to settle

coIorinu Canvas Shoes,

The matching idea is so strong
just now that girls may like to know
that white canvas shoes may be col
ored to match any costume. The pro-
cess of dyeing will shrink the shoes,
but they may be successfully painted
with good water-color paint.
Mount the shoes on trees. If you
do not own shoe-trees, stuff the shoes
evenly with tissue paper. Then ap-
ply the paint with a good-sized bristle
brush or a sponge.
Care should be takes to prepare
sufficient paint before commencing the
painting; the canvas being very alb
sorbent, you will need a generous
amount. AS an even tint depends up,
on expeditions work, you can readily
see the disadvantage Of having to
stop in the midst of the operation to
mix more paint.

India Print ParasoIs.

There has been a wide demand all
over the country for a year for
squares Of the o~ld-fashioned India
print. 1t was used extensively on cot
ton gowns last summer, and became
popular for house furnishings. 1t was
made into cushions, into covers, into
curtains for colonial rooms.
Now 1t is used for sunshades to be
carried in the country and at summer
resorts. The squares are put togeth-
er by hand, and the round top part
of the parasol is made of scrim.

The talk had been of Paradise
Paradise, Arizona, where Lonesome

err and miner before he made his
stake. In his hand was a letter from
Big Bill Jernigan, an old comrade of
those days, now known as the Hon.

gress from the sovereign state OF

You remember what Saturday was at
Paradise. Town full of p%unchers and
miners, the punchers and miners full
of liquor and devilment, and the bar
tenders full of business, Bill and

Cavenaugh was at the other end OF the
world, so far as his investigations at
that time were concerned.
He struck a match. The silver OF
pine f1ared palely in the sunshine,
writhed and dropped, black and
charred, to the floor. He shrugged his
shoulders. Chivalry of this sort was
not the order Of the day. There was
something stronger than the voice OF
duty. something stronger than the
voice of the heart; it was the voice
of pity, which urged it's appeal for the
hundreds Of men and women who had
invested their all in the Cavenaugh
concerns. The thought of their ulti-
mate ruin, should Cavenaugh be per-
mitted to pursue his course unchecked,
bore heavily upon him. No, he could
not do it. He must fight, even II he
lost his all In the battle. 1t is a fine

that both man and beast had the

token of her obedience during the
ensuing year. Evidently the suf
