Apparently the girl had lost her
power of speech, staring blindly at the
face of the man before her, as bird
meets the slow approach of a snake.
| Keith could see her lips move, but
making no sound. Hawley evidently
interpreted her silence as hesitation,
doubt as to his real meaning.
"Ycu see where you are at now,

He reached out, and actually grasp
ed her, but, in some manner, she tore
loose, and sprang back around the
end of the table, her checks flushed,
her eyes burning.

loughby never told you that. If you
come one step nearer, I'll scream; I'll
call your men here; I'll tell them the

He laughed, leaning over toward
her, yet hesitating, his eyes full of ad-
miration Her very fierceness appealed
to him. urged him on.
"Oh, l wouldn't! In the first place

He took a step toward her, his hands
flung out. With one quick movement
she sprang aside and extinguished the
lamp, plunging the room into instant
darkness. A few red Goals glowed
DULY IN the fireplace, but all else was
dense blackness. Keith heard the
movements of Hawley, as he felt his
way uncertainty along the table,
swearing as he failed to find the girl.
Then, like shadow, he glided through
the partly open door into the room.

form of physical exercise, desperate
recklessly. Yet it was now or never
for all of them, and the plainsman felt
no mercy, experienced no reluctance.
He reached the table, and straight
ened up, silent, expectant. For an in
slant there was no further sound; no
evidence Of movement in the room.
Hawley, puzzled by the silence, was
listening intently in an endeavor to
thus locate the girl through some
rustling, some slight motion. A knife,
knocked from the table, perhaps, as
she slipped softly past, fell gathering
to the floor, and the gambler leaped
instantly forward Keith's grip closed
like iron on his cropping arm, while he
shot one fist out toward where the
mans head should be. The blow
glanced, yet drove the fellow back
ward, stumbling against the table, and
Keith closed in, graphing for the
throat. The other, startled by the
unexpected attack, and scarcely real
iZing even yet che nature of his an
tagonist, struggled blindly to escape
the fingers clawing at him, and flung
one hand down to the knife in his
belt. Warned by the movement, the
assailant drove his head into the gam
bler's chest, sending him crashing to
the floor, falling himself heavily upon
the PROSTATE body. Hawley gave ut
terance to one cry, half throttled in
his throat, and then the two grappled
| f1ercely, so interlocked together as to
make weapons useless. Whoever the
assailant might be, the gambler was
fully aware by now that he was being
crushed in the grasp of fighting man,
and eXerted every wrestler's trick,
every ounce of strength, to break free.
Twice he struggled to his knees, only
to be crowded backward by relentless
power; once he hurled Keith side
ways, but the plainsman's muscles
stiffened into steel, and he gradually
regained his position. Neither dared
release a grip in order to strike a
blow; neither had sufficient breath
| left with which to utter a sound. They
were fighting for life, silently, des-
perately, like wild beasts, with no
thought but to injure the other. The
gamblers teeth sank into Keiths arm,
and the latter in return damned the
mans head back onto the puncheon
floor viciously. Precipitation streamed
from their bodies, their fingers clutch
! ing, their limbs wrapped together,
their muscles strained to the utmost.

Worm Turned at Last on ironing
"Mis' Portly's" Voluminous
Skirts.

Aunt Cally belongs distinctly to the
type of born not made" laundresses.
She loves her ironing board exactly
so wide and just so long. She wants
plenty of blanket and sheet on 1t so
the embroidery stands out clear and
she carries her own piece of beeswax
around in her apron pocket. Maybe
the magic is in that piece of wax, for
she has carried it always, it seems.
The irons work well for her because
she selects them at just the right
heat and then she administers little
pat which she calls ''tasein' 'em,
applies a little wax and off they go,
making the linens look as If they were
polished.
But Aunt Cally, like other artists,
has not escaped trials. She likes to

Mrs. Miller was born in Pinebush,
where at an early age she met Charles
Smith Their schoolday love rpened
into a more serious type, and It was
only when the parents Of the girl In
terfersd that the courtship ended. She
was then fifteen years old. Smith was
a year or two her senior. After thu
check In his love making Smith went
to Denver,
The girls family secured the letters

FLIES
UP FROM WATER
Aviator Rises in San Diego
Bay Like a Gull.

San Diego, CAL, Jan. 27.-Glenn FL
Curtiss has added another victory to
the conquests OF the air. In an aero
plane he rose and alighted on the
waters OF San Diego bay. His flight
Of two miles was as gracefully exc
cuted as II he had been on the back OF
q great sea gull.
The solution Of the problem of start
Ing from and landing on the water,
which has been regarded as one of the
most difficult and at the same time
the most important from a military
standpoint ever undertaken, has thus
been solved. Curtiss' feat makes a
new achievement in the history Of avi-
alton, ard ii the opinion OF naval off,
GERS may be taken as a criterion 1t is
likely to prove Of the greatest impor-
lance to the navy.
Accompanied by Lieutenant Ellison
and Lieutenant Walker Of the army
and assisted by a dozen mechanics,
The aeroplane was launched In the
shallow water Of Spanish blight, a mar
row strip Of water In San Diego har-
Dor. The machine was equipped with
special appliances to float it and allow
It to attain a high rate Of speed.
The eight cylinder motor, capable OF
developing sixty horsepower, was
started, ard the aeroplane scudded
away Y the blight at a forty mile
clip. Curtiss elevated the planes OF
the front control, and the machine
lifted easily and gracefully out of the
water. It soared fifty feet above the
surface for a distance OF half a mile
and then came down easily and swung
srcssud tcuardh M starsng point.
Curtiss 1efhs&~about En- the air after
he had flown about d mile straight
away and came back to a point just
opposite the quarters on the beach off
North island, where he dropped gently
on the surface OF the water and came
to a stop within fifty feet. The ma
chine was hauled out upon the sands
while the aviator was congratulated
on his success.

cot, and not using too much bedding,
but enough to keep her warm and
comfortable.
Such cots are used also for fatten-
ing pigs. A movable hog cot is better
in most cases than a permanent pen,
as it keeps the pigs away from any
central place, which is sure to become
permanently contaminated, muddy in
wet weather, dusty In dry, and dirty
all the time.
If permanent hog-house is to be
built. 1t should be located on a knoll
rather than in a moist hollow. Next,
sufficient yardage, which you say you
have, should be available. Large lots,
where succulent food can be grown,
are to be preferred to small exercise
pens, which cannot be kept healthful
In a warm climate. The pig should
naturally be fattened in the late fall,
and none carried over but the breed
ing stock. Experiments beyond num-
Der have shown that it is not profit
able to feed either old or heavy hogs.
The rule ought to be to have eight
months-old pigs weigh at least 200
pounds and At for slaughter. Such
pigs ought never to see the inside Of
a costly permanent pen, but ought to
go to the slaughter house directly
from the lots and the cots.

In response to a query for plans
Cor a moderate-priced house to accom-
modate rs brooding sows and the

try Gentleman publishes the follow
ing:
For the brood sows 1t is best to
have separate cots like those describ-
ed by Professor Shaw of the Michigan
Station, from whose bulletin on the
subject the following engravings are
made. Sows and pigs should be kept
away from the main or winter pen as
much as possible. The SOW should
have plenty of exercise, plenty Of
green and succulent food, and access
to the ground These cots offer ideal
summer conditions both to SOW and
litter.
Fig. 1 is a good cot for SOW that
is about to farrow, since she cannot
lie down close to the sides and thus
overlie the young pigs. A cot like
that shown in Fig. 2, however, gives
better ventilation and is preferable in

wire. Such cot contains 100 feet OF
stock lumber, 60 feet of matched stuff,
