It was on a crisp October evening
that the little drama was finally played
out. Mrs. Carter called me up by tele-
phone.

together by the roaring fire in the
library. Mrs. Carter was looking es.
pec1ally attractive in a clinging white
gown with a bunch Of violets in her
belt.
When reached home again I was
lonely. missed Wellington-and
missed more than that. l seemed to
feel, for the first time, my great need

left Wellington, he confded to me the
story Of his disagreement with his
wife.

confessed. Il wrote to her day or
two ago. and-and I told her that If
she would send me any token-bunch
of viOlets-a ribbon-anything-
would accept it in lieu of a personal
apology"
She is proud. She will never send
you even violet in apology"
But even as l said it, there was a
patter of steps in the hall, and a ia
miliar whine at the door.
It's Wellington" Dick said.
Hello" he began and stopped
short, and !, turning in my chair to
know the reason of his sudden silence,
saw the big dog, his head held high, a
bunch Of violets held tightly in his

the flowers at his masters feet.
Dick snatched them up quickly

away he went, and l sat there with
only Wellington for company and
thought Of their happiness and of my

Well, they made 1t up and lived

L didn't send him the violets," Jean
told me, long after. "They dropped
from my belt, and Wellington played

Wellington divides his time new be

bachelor apartment, and he divides his
heart among four persons instead OF
three. for there is little Jean with
eyes like her mothers, whose gentle
affection for old Barnes of Blooming

How TO Make A BOOMERANG
Weapon Invented BY Native Austra.
lians, Who Seemed to Have
L : Very Little Intelligence. :

A boomerang is a weapon invented
and used by the native Australians,
who seemed to have the least intelli-
gence of any race of mankind, says
Popular Mechanics. The boomerang
Is curved stick of hardwood, Fig l.,
about SIG inch thick, 2k inches wide
and. feet long, fiat on one side, with
the ends and the other side rounding.
One end of the stick is grasped in one
hand with the convex edge forward
and the fat side up and thrown up
ward. After going some distance and
ascending slowly to great height in
the air with quick rotary motion, it
suddenly returns In an elliptical orbit
to q spot near the starting point. II
thrown down on the ground the BOOM
erang rebounds In straight line, pur-
suing richochet motion until the OBJ
1ect Is struck at which it was thrown.
Two other types Of boomerangs are
illustrated herewith and they can be
made as described. The materials
necessary for the T-shaped boomerang
are: One piece of hard maple SIG inch
thick, ~ inches wide and feet long;
five h-inch fat-headed screws. Cut
the piece of hard maple into two
pieces, one 111s inches and the other
18 inches long. The corners are cut
from these pieces as shown in Fig. 2,
taking care to cut exactly the same
amount from each corner. Bevel both
sides of the pieces. making the edges
very thin so they will cut the air bet

GAME OF M|XED-UP ANSWERS
Participants Sit in a Circle and No
One Is Permitted to Speak
Above Whisper.

To play this game it is best to sit
in a circle, and until the end of the
game no one must speak above, a
whisper.
The first player whispers question
to his neighbor, such as do you like
roses?"
This question now belongs to the
second player, and he must remem-
Der it.
The second player answers: Yes;
they smell SO sweetly," and this an
swer belongs to the first player The
second player now asks his neighbor
a question, taking care to remember
the answer, as it will belong to him.
Perhaps he has asked his neighbor:
Are you fond of potatoes?" And
the answer may have been Eyes, when
they are fried"
The second player has now a ques-
ton and an answer belonging to him,
which he must remember
The game goes on until every one
has been asked question and given
an answer, and each player must be
sure and bear in mind that it is the
question he is asked and the answer
his neighbor gives which belong to
him.
At the end of the game each gives
his question and answer aloud in the
following manner:
Il was asked: DO you like roses? ?
and the answer was: Yes, when they
are fried!'"
The next player says:
Il was asked Are you fond of po-
tatoes?' and the answer was: Yes,
they are very pretty, but they don't

on the crown at the left 'front.' A jet
ornament and a band OF grey velvet
finish the mounting.
Hats of this character are bought
already covered and are to be found
in a great variety of shapes. The
tendency toward simplicity of trim
ming, so apparent for three seasons,
is not only a move in the direction of
good taste but an advantage to those
who undertake to trim their own mil
linery.
A more elaborate hat is shown in
Fig. 3. The elaboration appears, how
ever, in the making of the fancy
feather, not in placing it on the hat.
The shape may be had ready covered
in variety of materials. 1t is shown

The trimming is handsome semi

of bow effect, with wing mounted
at the center. These are made by
the manufacturers ready to mount on
the hat, which requires no other
trimming.
The amateur milliner should be
careful in mounting them to not place
them too fiat against the shape. Very
strong thread should be used-long,
loose stitches and the thread finally
tied inside the crown.

WHY THEY HATE US

Dictionaries define hatred as the
act of regarding with strong and
passionate dislike or aversion: tc
regard with extreme i'll will. 1t Is
the nercest passion of man and is
generally deplored as being un-
worthy. illogical and altogether un-
toward to entertain.
But a. there are exceptions to all
rules. Greeley ID in the position OF
being hated generously by . certain
class and in this very passion can
nnd cause for congratulations. The
town and county have become 90
poor an abiding place for criminals
that the very names of them fncites
aversion in the hearts Of wrong
doers. They hate us fervently and
with Just cause. for these places have
been made too hot for them.
Tho sheriff OF Weld county. Ben
Florance. 10 soon to go out Of Office
after years Of faithful service. He
10 the chief reason that Weld county
b hated by . certain class and 1t IL
. matter for congratulation that he
brought the county into bad repute
with those who are bad. II he had
made the county hated by the people
We want to stay here and the ones
We want to come here. It would have
been q different story.
Statistics are not necessary to
show the efficiency that has charact-
erized his Office. The absence of the
usual coterie of bad men" Ii the
best evidence. His recent exploit of
rounding up bunch wanted In
Wyoming for horse stealing brought
forth the interesting fact that he had
already cleaned out his own district
and was helping other sections that
needed It.
It IN NO small work to keep q
county free from undesirahlss. but
this Il what Sheriff Florance and his
able deputies have done. He will
leave the affairs of his office IN good
shape for his successor and he will
turn over the county with an excel
lent bill Of health in the criminal
line.
