They were within ten feet of the jungle of

The squire had already rcraw led from the

Oh, that Squire Holmes had never gone

driven any other horse than his iron-gray!

The Council meets tonight and I'm going to

here"
The squire's quality of grammar was usual
" a good criterion of his moods, and this
last declaration sent the trio of us back to
the lake in alarm.
There lay our launch, the Rainbow, where
we had moored her to the bank, all uncon-
scous of the terrible havoc she had wrought
by frightening Squire Holmes gray horse
into runaway.
An hour later the Rainbow was fastened
at her wharf in Salem. When her three
owners, Matt CARRIER, the pilot; Herb Pogue,
tn. engineer and myself, the captain, parted
that night, we said not word, but each
krcw the thoughts of the others;
Each knew that Squire Holmes word was
very law in the village, and if the squire de-
creed, because his horse had taken fright at
the boat that the Rainbow should run no
more upon the waters of Lake Long, we
knew that the thing was settled.

The three of us had bought the boat for
business. Salem, our native town, was with
out railway connection with the rest OF the
world. Cotton, however, across the lake,
was situated the railroad.
In furnishing more rapid transit between
the towns than the old-fashioned bus line
afforded, we boys thought we saw business

Why Ice Cream Causes Pain

E7 HEN the weather is very warm you
wJ often run into an ice cream saloon
Nyl to try and cool your body by sau-
Ger of the frozen delcacy. If you are
in great hurry you are apt to make the first
few teaspoonfuls Of the cooling mixture rather
large. This almost Immediately gives you .
violent pain in the temples, or somewhere in
the region Of the eyes.
Why is this? Did you ever stop and think!
One man, who has studied the physiology
of the case, says it is caused in the following
manner: The frozen mixture, coming into
contact with the nerves of the throat tenn
porarily paralyzes them. The sensation in
stantly shoots to the centre of the nerves,
which is in the brain, but there is a side con-
nection, the great, facial nerve. which starts
from the front of the ear and extends its
branches over the side of the face. This great
facial nerve sidetraeks the pain which pro-
ceeds from the chill, throwing it out along
the nerve which runs across the temples, the
pain being .keenest at the point where the
nerve branches.
