A Vivid Picture.

OF all "aptitudes," the mech
anical is least likely to mani
fest itself in a feminine brain.
The young woman whose visit
TO a locomotive works is de-
scribed in Young's Magazine,
was doubtless interested in
what she saw, but her account
of the processes observed leaves
the reader to doubt her entire
understanding of them.
"You pour" she told a friend
"a lot Of sand into a lot of
boxes, and you throw old stove
lids and things into a furnace,
and then you turn the red hot
stream into a hole in the sand,
and everybody yells and shouts
"Then you pour it out, let it
cool and pound it, and then you
put it in a thing that bores
holes in it. Then you screw it
together, and paint it, and put
steam in it, and it goes spl n
didly, and they take it to o
drafting room and make O.
blueprint of it.
''Rut one thing l forgot
They have to make a boiler.
One man gets inside and one
gets outside, and they pound
frightfully, and then they tie
it to the other thing, and you
,ught to see it go. Youths

how he had carried her in the storm

repeated her account to his brother in
Denver.
Maitland had insisted that Newbold
share his hospitality, but that young
man had refused. Kirkby had little
place not far from Denver and easily
accessible to it, and the old man had
gladly taken the younger one with
him. Newbold had been In fever OF
anxiety over Enid Maitland's illness,
but his alarm had soon been dispelled
by the physicians assurance. and
there was nothing now left for him
but to wait until she could see him.
He inquired for her morning and even

he kept her room bower of beauty

CHAPTER XIV.
The Drauqht OF JOY.

The Draught OF JOY.
The great library was the prettiest
room in Robert Maitland's magnificent
mansion in Denver's most favored res
idence section. 1t was long. low
studded room with heavy beamed
ceiling. The low book cases, about
five feet high, ran between all the
windows and doors on all side; Of the
room. At one end there was huge
open fire place built of rough stone,
and as 1t was winter a cheerful fire
of logs blazed on the hearth. 1t was
mans room prominently. The
drawing-room across the hall was Mrs.
Maitland's domain, but the library re-
fiected hel husbands picturesque If
somewhat cratic taste. On the
walls there were pictures Of
the west by Remington, March
and, Dunton, Dixon and others.
and to set them off, finely mount
ed heads of bear and deer and buffalo.
Swords and other arms stood here and
there. The writing table was massive
and the chairs easy, comfortable and
inviting. The floor was strewn with
robes and rugs. From the windows
facing westward, since the house was
set on high hill, one could see the
great rampant of the range.
There were three men in the room
on that brilliant morning early in jan
uary something like month after
these adventures in the mountains
which have been 80 veraciously
set forth. Two of them were the
brothers Maitland; the third was New
bold.
The shock produced upon Enid Matt
land by the death of Armstrong to-
.gether with the tremendous episodes
that had preceded it had utterly pros
strated her. They had spent the
night ~ the hut in the mountains and
had decided that the woman must be
taken back to the settlements some
way at all hazards.
The wit of old Kirkby had effected
solution of the problem, using q
means certainly as old as Napoleon
and the passage of his cannon over
the Great st. Bernard-and perhaps as
old as Hannibal! They had made
rude sled from the trunk of pine
which they followed out and provided
with a back and runners. There was
no lack of fur robes and blankets for
her comfort.
Wherever it was practicable tha
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1912-09-26

three men hitched themselves to the
sled with ropes and dragged it and
Enid over the snow. OF course for
niles down the canon 1t was impossi-
BILE to use the sled When the way
was comparatively easy the woman,
supported by the two men, Newbold
and Maitland, made shift to get along
afoot. When it became too difficult
for her, Newbold picked her UP as he
had done before and assisted by Matt
land, carried her bodily to the next
resting place. At these times Kirkby
looked after the sled.
They had managed to reach the tenn
porary hut In the old camp the first
night and rested there. They gath
cred up their sleeping bags and tents
and resumed their journey in the
morning. They were strong men, and
save for old Kirkby, young. 1t was a
desperate endeavor but they carried II
through.
When they hit the open trails the
shedding was easy and they made
great progress. After week of ter
rife going, they struck the railroad,
and the next day found them all safe
in Maitland's house in Denver
To Mr.. Stephen Maitland his daugh-
ter was as one who had risen from
the dead. And indeed, when he first
saw her, she looked like death itself.
No one had known how terrible that
journey had been to the woman. Her
three faithful attendants had surmised
something, but In spite of all even
they did, not realize that In these last
days she had been sustained only by
the most violent effort of her will. She
had no sooner reached the house,
greeted her father, her aunt and the
children, then she collapsed utterly.
The wonder was, said the physician,
not that she did 1t then but that she
had not done it before. For short
time it appeared as If her illness might
be serious, but youth. vigor, strong
body and a good constitution, a heart
now free from care and apprehension
and a great desire to live and love
and be loved, worked wonders.
Newbold had enjoyed no opportunity
for private conversation with the wo-
man he loved, which was perhaps just
as WE'LL He had the task of readjust-
ing himself to changed conditions; not
only to a different environment, but to
strange and unusual departures from
his long cherished view points.
He could no longer doubt Arm
strong'l final testimony to the purity
of his wife, although he had burned
the letters unread, and by the same
token he could no longer cherish the
dream that she had loved him and him
alone. Those words that had pre-
ceded that pistol shot had made it
possible for him to take Enid Matt
land as his wife without doing violence
to his sense of honor Or his self-re-
spect. Armstrong had made that
much reparation. And Newbold could
not doubt that the other had known
what would be the result Of his speech
and had chosen his words deliberately;
score that last action to his credit. He
was sensitive man, however; he
realized the brutal and beast-like part

Why Is II That Women Always Seem
to Have Something to Apollo
qize For7

Isn't 1t queer the sort OF things we
are ashamed Of? queries a western
woman writer. How often do we hear
people apologizing profusely because
they happen to live in an unfashion-
able part of town. They will explain
and explain ad nauseam how they
came to be living In that house and
how very awkward it Is having that
class Of neighbors.
l have come to the conclusion it is
little short of crime not to live in
the fashionable part Of the city.
And then relations. Everybody
seems to be ashamed of at least one
relation. In most cases the only ones
they are proud of are dead ones,
long time dead, and very remote re-
lations at that. But the living rela-
tons always seem to be cause OF
shame-they never will live in the
right districts, build the right kind
of house, bring up their children sty-
lishly or indulge in the right kind OF
trade. Female relations will insist
upon marrying undesirable husbands,
and male relations always manage to
acquire vulgar or dowdy wives.
One stylish lady is wont to sign
elegantly as she murmurs poor dear
George wife, you know; I've
tried, but / really can't include them
in my social affairs, you know"
But of all the shameful shame pro-
ducers the behavior Of our babies is
the shamiest.
Our babies always will dirty their
pinnies, ask for candy, wipe jammy
fingers on the visitors coat, demand
attention persistently and vociferous-
". knock over the tea cups. spread
the cake crumbs all over the best
carpet and perpetrate all the other
hundred and one misdemeanors that
the dear lambs are heir to. They all
do 1t sometimes and they all do 1t
always on the days we earnestly
yearn for them to make. a good i'm
preston.
So why are we ashamed of them
for being normal? Why do we all ex-
plain at great length how Tommy
never behaves like this on ordinary
occasions and why do we persist In
being mortified so poignantly?-Ex-
