does it not?"
Yes, Mrs. Fame
II see. Miss Enroll is naturally wor-
ried over him. But wonder why she
did not come to me herself instead of
sending you as her errant ambassa-
dor"
Miss Enroll did not send me-" he
said, flushing up. And, looking stead
lily into the smiling dolls face confront
Ing him, he knew again that he had
failed.
She smiled. "Come to me on your
own errand, for Gerald's sake, for any
body's sake, for your own preferably,
and I'll listen, but don't come to me on
another woman's errands, for 1 won't
listen even to you"
II have come on my own errand,"
he repeated coldly. Miss Enroll knew
nothing about it and shall not hear OF
1t from me. Can you not help me, Mrs.
Fame"
But Rosamunds rose china features
had hardened into a polished smile,
and Selwyn stood up wearily to make
his adieu
But as he entered his hanson before
the door he knew the end was not yet,
and once more he set his face toward
the impossible, and once more the han
som rolled away over the asphalt, and
once more it stopped, this time before
the house of Ruthven.
Ruthven's greeting was pallid stare,
but as Selwyn made no motion to rise
he lounged over to a couch and, half
reclining among the cushions, shot an
insolent glance at Selwyn, then yawned
and examined the bangles on his wrist
After q moment Selwyn said, "Mr.
Ruthven, you are no doubt surprised
that am here"
I'm not surprised if it's my wife
you've come to see," drawled Ruthven.
'If I'm the object Of your visit, con-
fess to some surprise-as much as the
visit is worth and no more"
The vulgarity of the insult under the
mans own roof scarcely moved Sell
wyn to any deeper contempt and GER
tainly not to anger.
'I did not come here to ask a favor
of you," he said coolly, "for that is out
of the question, Mr.. Ruthven. But I
came to tell you that Mr.. Erroll's fam
lily has forbidden him to continue his
gambling in this house and in your
company anywhere or at any time"
''Most extraordinary" murmured
Ruthven, passing his ringed fingers
over his minutely shaven face-that
strange face of boy hardened by the
depravity of ages.
80 l must request you," continued
Selwyn, "to refuse him the opportunity
of gambling here. Will you do it-vol-
untarily?"

"Then l shall use my judgment in
the matter"
"And what may your judgment in
the matter be?"
II have not yet decided. For one
thing 1 might enter a complaint with
the police that boy is being morally
and materially ruined in your private
gambling establishment"
SIS that a threat?"
mo. l will act, not threaten"
"Ah," drawled Ruthven, Il may dc
the same the next time my wife spends
the evening in your apartment"
"You lie.' said Selwyn in a voice
made low by surprise.

Coastinq.

Swift as an arrow shot from the bow,
Safe on our coasters downward we go.
Over the bumpers, over the dixie.
Who'd have an auto or even bike?
Going like lightning. going like mad!
Where was there ever such sport to be
had?
Trudging uphill, the rope in ones hand,
Happiest we of the boys in the land
Snow may be icy, Ice may be wet
Little we care for such trihes, you bet!
Once at the top, we are off in a jiff-
HI, there! Look out! Clear the track,
will you? Biff!

The custom of some people to handle

kuRlos FROM KoRREsPoNpENTs

O. How do some bantam breeders
get the small stock they have at
shows? Are they dwarfed with whis-
ky, as are some dogs. or are they
starved down?
"a. No. They select the smallest
breeders, especially the hens. and
hatch late.
Q My neighbor tells me my hens
are not laying because keep no roost-
er. Is this so?
A. No. The rooster sometimes helps
by aiding Biddy to hunt q nest and
cackling when the eggs laid, but you
can do that yourself and save the
feed.
Q. just bought some pigeons, and
three of them have an eye with Il
white spot in the center. Is this nat
ural. and will it pass away?
A. No. The dealer has sent you
three pigeons blind in one eye from
roup.
Q. What breed has largest repre-
sentation at the big shows?
A. White Wyandottes. Rocks second.
At the ST. Louis exposition there were
ST2 White Wyandottes. and no vari-
ETY. of Rocks reached 500. At Chicago.
New York and Boston they nearly
always lead. At one Madison Square
Garden show there were 4S3 more
White Wyandottes than all the Rocks
put together.
O. Some of my Reeves pheasants
have a sort Of scaly leg that accumu-
lates in large knots on their feet and
legs. gripping them, and l have tried
sulphur ointment, glycerin, lard and
coal oil, and fail to get permanent
cure. l read your article on pheasants,

cool pour over legs and feet and cover
completely. Three applications Il
week apart will cure, sure.

DID CHINESE ONCE
HAVE CITY HERE
Antique Is Found Which Leads Philosophers to
Believe That Tucumcari Was Inhabited Before

these primitive people and il was
argued that IL they were familiar
with the use OF coins that they
were advanced to quite a high de-
gree OF civilization. IL was even
argued that they used to send one
another to Jail tor smuggling
foreigners into the city and that
they had moving picture shows
and we're familiar with the word
twenty three
As they theorized, however, as
to the lives and customs OF these
people, their whole argument was
made laughing a stock by a state
ment from the laborer who had
found the wonderful antique. He
said that il had not been buried as
deep as they supposed but that it
wss only covered by a shallow
layer OF sand and trash and that
it was his firm opinion that it had
been dropped by some guest at
Glenrock and had gone through a
crack in the old lumber walk and
there was covered up by the sand
storm.

That Tucumcari was inhabited
many years ago, even before Tu-
cumcari Mountain had risen above
the surface, was almost wholly
settled among many OF the Second
Street philosophers n day this
week. The question was brought
up by several who were watching
the side walk construction work
rear the Glenrock Hotel. There
was at first little doubt as to the
truth OF their argument and that
a city had once been located here
but was later literally wiped off
the map. That il was inhabitated
by Chinese there was no doubt.
AS proof Of their argument they
exhibited a Chinese coin, with a
square hole in the middle, which
was dug up by the men who
building the side walk. The coin
was very old and was so rusty that
the date was no longer visible. IL
had been buried for centuries.

to give theories as to the lie OF

e any snow before when they
awoke last Wednesday morning
and found the entire ground COW
cred with white. Snow had al.
ways been associated in their
minds with cold weather and when
they found everything was hidden
they were at first frightened lest
they had been the victims OF some
mean trick and had been deported
to some waste country during their
