 What on earth becomes of all the hand kerchiefs that are manufactured?
 It is not humany possible that we could lose the un-numbered dozens that we buy, neither when we come to take a dispassionate view of the matter could we lay the loss of them, on the poor belated "washerwomen.'
 Another thing, even the ebony tinted maid who knows the innermost secrets of our boudoir could not be accused of ''swiping" all of the dozens of them that disappear within the year.
 Almost uncanny is the human intelli- gence that handkerchiefs display in their likes and dslikes.
 And one of the funniest things about them is that when we take an inven- tory of the ones we possess, neither for

hills changed plumage The big peaks
put on winter caps Of wilderness and
the mornings were cold. Another sum-
mer was dead.
So, with the flight Of warmth, the
stage-driver came to the mine one
morning and found the Dream Lady
and her mother waiting for the down
stage.
Mccarthy was trying to look uncon.
cerned, but his eyes were very deep
and lonely. The Dream Lady had a
veil over her face, and no longer
laughed as gayly as when she came
to the hills for the summer. Only her
mother talked-talked volubly and
sharply and increasingly as Sanders
took them aboard.

The man did something very un.

the team, tightening up strap or
testing buckle here and there. Then,
when the others were busy adjusting
their belongings in the narrow space,
he said: Sanders, my boy, drive very
carefully down the Turn Again grade.
It's a bad place. Be a game little
cuss, and hold the reins tight. AL.

Sanders wondered at the admonition
as the horses swung out and down the
hill.

dark.
Sanders thought something smelled
bad-just as the hospital did that time
when father was taken there. He
tried to raise his arm. but there was
some big wooden thing on it, and 1t
hurt. He rested awhile. trying to re,
member what had happened
Then he decided to open his eyes,
but one was blind, because there was
a cloth wrapped around his head.
Finally he looked out with the other
one with much effort, and discovered,
to his amazement, that he was in the
superintendent Office; only 1t didn't
look natural-there were so many
bottles and things around on tables.
Well, 1t wasn't worth while thinking
and puzzling about 1t, so he would
take another short sleep. The Dream

Dream Lady was very fine, but there
was no one too good to be friends
with Mccarthy, and she must have
said something to have changed him
so.
Another sore spot was that big
Stiff" of yard-boy up at the Golcon-
da, whom Sanders hated because he
had winked one day when the super
intendent and the Dream Lady were
talking together in front Of the big
shaft-house. Sanders waited his
chance, all his turbid blood afame
with a desire for retaliation, not for
an offense against his own person, but
against his hero.
There came a day, as the summer
waned, when his chance was upon
him, and being one of action he seized
it. There was none in sight, as the
stage came to halt near the black
smith shop, save the big Stiff" San

his perch, took of his much-patched

wildly with both fists. This was his
day, he thought jubilantly, so he
fought grimly, using tee&, feet, and
hands with equal effect, and heed

lamentations.
Oh! it ended ANONYMOUSLY for San
ders! Before he was really at the
acme of his work, Mccarthy came up
from behind. seized both belligerents
by the slack of their clothing, tore
them apart, and held them in the air
exactly as he would pair of puppies.
Sanders continued with set teeth and
blazing eyes to kick and strike wildly,

days, and all the time there was the
battle with the horses. The wayside
was no longer familiar. 1t was a
mere panorama of looming gray rocks
that rose up suddenly and swept past
in a blur. The road was a living,
twisting thing, that tried all the time
to evade him; and before him, with
outstretched heads and sinewy bodies
straining for ever greater reaches,
were two terribly insane animals, bent
on destruction.
Down the deadly hill, lurching,
swaying from side to side, or violently
jumping over boulders, they went, but
Sanders sat firm, with his Drowned
hands twisted desperately into the
lines. In his ears rang again and
again the words: BE game little
cuss, and hold the reins tight"
At the top of his shrill voice he
called to the horses, trying vainly to
check them-called them by name,

all with no effect. Through him there
ran the realization that there was but
one chance to save the Dream Lady.

you come peaceably, or you will have

in Sanders eyes, his own softened,
and he concluded lamely-"have to
fight me-"
OF course 1t wouldn't do to tell the
cause of the enmity against the yard
boy-that would have been squealing:
but the martyr game was hard one,
and Sanders sympathized with him
self for many days. But there was
worse yet. Sanders mother heard of
the fight when she came to the mine
to get the mending. Mccarthy was
as great hero to her as to her son.
1t was this dark-eyed, quiet man who
had made life $50 much easier for her
after her husbands death and had
put the boy sin the sthage biziniss

perhaps because above the clanking OF
the vehicle and the clicking of the
shod heels her voice arose in scolding
tones at regular intervals.
Once the Dream Lady rebelled, and

there was silence.
