He would lead one and say: Here's

say. Il am not worthy Of her, Kit.

Did you know that the duke OF
Bedford proposed to her in London
last winter"
or course, one has to take the
woman's word about a thing like that,
but the duke of Bedford had been
mad about Maude Richard all that
winter.
You can see that the burning OF
the letters, which was meant to be
reminiscently sentimental, a sort of
ow-silly-we-were-it-is, oc.
%casion, became actually a two hours
eulogy OF Bella. And just when /
was bored TO death, the Mercer girls
dropped In and heard Jim begin to

And the next day after the rehearsal

There was very nearly no wedding
at all. Bella came to see me in a
frenzy the next morning and threw
Jim and his two hundred odd pounds
In my face, and although | explained
1t all owe and over, she never quite
forgave me. That was what made it
so hard later-the situation would
have been bad enough without that
complication.
They went abroad on their wedding
journey, and stayed several months.
And when Jim came back he was fat
ter than every. Everybody noticed
IT.. Bella had a gymnasium fitted up
in a corner of the studio, but he would
not use 1t. He smoked a pipe and
painted all day, and drank beer and
would eat starches or whatever It is
that Is %fattening. But he adored
Bella, and he was madly jealous of
her. At dinners he used to glare at
the man who took her in, although it
did not make him thin. Bella was
flirting, too, and by the time they had
been married a year. people hitched
their chairs together and dropped
their voices when they were men,

Well, on the anniversary of the day
Bella left him-oh, yes, she left him
finally. She was intense enough about
some things, and she said it got on
her nerves to have everybody chuckle
when they asked for her husband.
They would say. Hello, Bella! How's
Bubbles? Still banting?" And Bella

gates (Which should all swing one
way, are about 4 feet long. The rear
posts, if used, should slant, as shown
in the cut, to allow the mixer a little
more room. In some stables these
rear posts have been done away with
entirely, the gates simply being
chained or roped together. AS usual
ly built, the front rack or panel is
made of 2X4 framework, with TIC
inch iron rods; and this framework
is fastened solidly to the mango but
the manager and framework are not
attached to the sides of the stall, but
left loose, so as TO be adjusted to the
length of the COW. In some cases,
however, the rack is hinged at the
top and the bottom allowed to swing
in the manger, so that II may be
swung toward the front several
inches. This allows the COW a little
more freedom in getting up and lying
down. Wooden Stats may be substi-
tuted for the iron rods, or in some
cases a section of iron wire fencing
is used in place of the rods. The rope
across the rear of the stall is usually
stapled at one side and hooked with
an ordinary harness-strap at the
other,

The divorce had just gone through
and Bella had taken her maiden

for appendicitis. We heard after
ward that they didn't find an APP
pendix. and that the one they showed
her in a glass Jar was not hers! But
II Bella ever suspected, she didn't

Ace TO Sell Cows

The age TO which a cow OF the beef
type can be proftably kept should be
gagged largely by her character as a
breeder. If she breeds regularly and
a good calves she should be kept
to a reasonable old age. This will
initiate against the price which she
will bring on the block when she is
sold. but the lack will be much more
than made up in the excellent char
acter Of the stock which she has pro-
duced. On the other hand, when a
COW of this class is not possessed of
promise as a successful breeder In the
first and second calves which she pro-
duces. she ought to be sold. Such a
COW may then be put upon the mar.
kct. SO that she will command a good
price.

Antelope South of Cheyenne

Pierre-Hunters have brought IN
two antelope which they killed about
forty miles northwest Of Fort P ere,
and reported that they saw a band OF
about forty of these little animals.
Several bands of antelope have roam
ed in the northwest counties of the
state for years, but ii has been a
long time since any were located south
of the Cheyenne river. 1t is claim
ed that there are more than 100 ante
lOpe in one band out in the Cave Hill
section of the state, which are being
protected by ranchers, and are be ON
ing half domesticated by their daily
sight of people. And while the LEGAL
protection is taken from them unit a
new enactment can be secured, they
are being looked after so no harm
will come to them. This band near
Cave Hills is probably the lag st
in the state, but there are several
smaller ones, especially in the north
western part, and a few farther south
in the Bad lands. They are said to be
more numerous than for several years,
which is supposed to be on a'c0unt Of
their having been driven out Of Mon
tana by forest fires last fal AMI hav-
ing drifted down into the Dakotas.

But when Sunday arrived and the
blacks thronged to the weekly church

to ask no questions until after the

until just as the sermon was begun.
Then suddenly a huge chief, who
had been squatting with his face to-

feet with an exclamation.
Immediately the others Of the tribe
did likewise. crying, The sun-the
