In the Nick
of Time
An Old Fashioned Story of
the Western Plains
By John Thorndike
Copyright by American Press Asso-
citation, 1911.
By John Thorndike

There are oceans of land just as
there are oceans of water At least
beyond the Mississippi river there are
regions which, viewed from the tops
OF the mountains looking eastward,
have the appearance Of great seas.
Descending, one finds n vast level
plain through which run few streams,
and those that exist. having no foliage
on their banks, are without beauty.
The ground, which is often rolling, Is
usually covered with no dora except
cactus, whose spears are like bayonetS.
One afternoon a young man wearing
trousers of buffalo skin. a woocn shirt
and n sombrero sat ON his horse, shad-
ing his eyes from the sun with his
hand, pcering at something in the dis
tance. He was on the crest of one of
the land rollers and managed to make
out, a couple of miles away, the white
top of a plains schooner
A little pun Of smoke appeared near
It, followed by a faint crack, then
another and another at intervals. He
heard responsive cracks. but the land
lay so that he could not see from
whom they came. But he knew that
he was in the country OF the Apache,
and persons firing from behind
wagon meant white men defending
themselves from the most savage tribe
OF Indians. The picture told him more
than this. One wagon did not indicate
many whites whereas there were
plenty of Indians about. Again, a
wagon was almost surely indicative of
a moving family in which there were
likely to be women and children.
These conclusions did not require rea-
soning process. They came to Jim

THREW THEIR ARMS ABOUT EACH OTHER.
Fuckers like a flash. Had he been
especially interested in his own wei
fare he would have beaten a retreat,
for the picture that he could see, taken
with what he could not see, told him
that the travellers bones would soon be
whitening on the plain and If he should
go to their assistance his own bones
would whiten with them.
But, in the first place, Fuckers put
no great value on his own life, and, in
the second, he was not the man to run
away from such a responsibility. He
was like rudderless boat tossed about
upon the waters. Plains life is not
conducive to hOmemaking, especially
when there is little to do except punch
cows, and there are few women to
tame the men and make them fit for
homes. Indeed, the prospect of fight,
even in losing cause, was not unwel-
come to Fuckers. Quickly descending
into the hollow between two rollers, he
rode with all haste toward the wagon
till he knew by the loud cracking of
rifles that those firing were near by on
the other side of one of the rollers.
Dismountng, he asCended the slope,
crawling as he neared the summit, and,
lying fiat, he surveyed the scene on the
other side through cacti.
A family consisting of father, moth
er, several boys ranging from twelve to
eighteen years old and girl of TWEEN
ty were using the wagon as rampant
by which to protect themselves against
three or four times their number of
Indians, who We're approaching from
comparatively level ground, the red
skins being widely scattered with Il
view to preventing their enemies con
centrating their fire and that they
might take the party on the fianks as
well as the center.
That the whites had sufficient arms
was evident from the fact that every
one OF them, including the two women,
held n breechloading rifle, n compara-
lively new gun in those days. He who
was evidently the father of the fam
lily was giving his little army orders as
10 the direction of their fire so that 1t
would be properly distributed. They
were dong their best to pick off the
redskins, but the latter were so wary
in exposing themselves that 1t was diff
ficult to hit them.

hooked his rifle and, removing aM the
ammunition he had in his saddlebags
placed 1t in his hat Besides this am
munitlon his belt was full of car

Probably the finest collection of
Bibles in the world is that in the IL

nary in Chelsea square, New York. In
the fireproof Bible room on the second
floor are more than 1.2OO different edi-
tions of the Bible. In all about $500
volumes, arranged on shelves and in
glass cases. OF these 555 editions are
in Latin, making 1.053 volumes. OF
"polyglot" editions-in more than one
language-thcre are 90. In 800 volumes.
The most interesting of the Bibles Is
the Gutenberg volume, printed at Mo-

hannes Gutenberg. which has always
ranked as n masterpiece of art.

Correct Way to Roll Umbrella.

A badly rolled up umbrella, besides
looking unsightly, does not wear half
as long as it ought to. The process of
rolling an umbrella is very simply.
The majority hold it by the handle and
keep twisting the stick with one hand,
while with the other they twist and
roll the silk. Instead of this they
should take hold of the umbrella just
above the ribs Of the cover. These
points naturally lie evenly with the
stick. They should be kept hold of
and pressed tightly against the stock
and then the cover should be rolled up.
Holding the ribs thus prevents them
from getting twisted out of place or
bending out Of shape, and the silk IS
bound to follow evenly and roll smooth
and tight. If an umbrella is rolled in
this fashion it will look as if newly
bought for a long time.-Boston Her
