whether this quality attributed to the

A farmer who owns herd Of scrub

He never gets rich selling pork, and
in fact If he depended upon his hogs
to make him money to buy better
bred hogs he would never own better
ones.
The scrub hog usually keeps his
owner so poor that he Is not able to
buy better stock. In fact, this is the
excuse usually given for his exist

are usually found associated together.
They are near and dear companions.
Both make a rapid retreat before q

"Oh, Emily, you wouldn't be so

and dress. I'll be done in time to
make the sandwiches"
Emily proceeded to squeeze one
lemon with her hands while she rolled
another with her foot, while Flora
busted like machine. For few mo-
ments no sound was heard in the
house. Presently Emily appeared in
the hall and called up to Kate:
Kate, have finished the punch, but

They hurried down the dusty coun-

skirts of the village and soon came to
little cottage with rose bushes ram
bling over every shutter on the lower
floor. They turned into the path that
led to the house, but no sign of life
was seen or heard. It was one of
those still, sultry afternoons in Au-
gust when even the singing of the
robins seems to jar on the quiet of the
atmosphere.

fore the rider had deserted his saddle
A dim darkness ahead already re-
vealed the nearness Of the southern
bank. when Neb's pony went down
suddenly. swept fairly of its legs by
some fierce eddy in the stream. Keith
heard the negro's cultural cry. and
caught glimpse of him as the two
were sent whirling down. The coiled
rope Of the lariat, grasped in his right
hand. was hurled forth like q shot,
but came back empty. Not another
sound reached him; his own horse
went steadily on. feeling his way. IN.

water merely ripping about his ankles.
Keith driving feet again into the STIR
rups headed him down stream, wading
close in toward the shore. leaning for

through the gloom.
He had no doubt about Neb's pony
making land. unless struck by some
driftwood, or borne to the center Of
the stream by the shifting force Of the
current But II Neb had failed to re-
