Staying OF AL BOYCE

into dangerous fruit. They kept still
torr"es in their heads. Mrs. Snead
was Caesars wife. The cattleman
saw nothing, knew nothing but his
great love for the girl he had brought
to share his home.
Finally he began to recognize that
the rose he had planted in the prairie
was whiting. His mind could not grasp
though, that it was pining for the ex-
otic air of the city and the care of
a gardener who knew plant life in
urbane places.
Physicians were consulted. Her af-
fection was nervous, they declared
Plenty of sun and air was the cure
they prescribed. The ranch gave her
all that.

quent.
Finally, the cattleman moved his
wife to Fort Worth. She was placed
under the care of a socialist. A
trained nurse was provided her. The
cattleman longed to see the roses re-
turn to her cheeks.
When Mrs. Snead left the ranch
young Boyce's interest in cattle sud-
denly died. He hurried to Fort Worth.
The youth and the bride met. They
realized the inevitable. The impulse
that had drawn their lives together
from the first meeting could not be
denied. An elopement was planned.
Both Fear Husbands Wrath.
Both realized its dangers. They
knew the school in which Snead had
been trained. They knew his charac-
ter. They knew that he loved his hon
or more than he did his life. Still
they did not hesitate. The months
and months they had been kept apart
seemed to them so much wasted time.
The sooner they could be together
beyond the shadow of the husband
was in their minds all that the world
held.
So it was that while riding on a
trolley car with her trained nurse
Mrs. Snead disappeared. At the same
time the earth apparently swallowed
young Boyce.
The cattleman was aroused. His be-
lief was that his wife, mentally de-
ranged, had wandered off, knowing
not where she went. Detectives were
put on the trail. But to his mind she
still was Caesars wife.
People began to whisper. The whis-
pers became murmurs. Finally they
were loud enough to reach the ears
of Snead. Still his wife was above re-
proach. Until he had proof to the

contrary, she could do no wrong.
Then the blow fell. A telegram
was received by the catteman. 1t told
him that his wife had been located in
Canada, living with Boyce. The pair
had pierced far toward the Artic cir
Gle to escape the husband. Had they
known the trail of blood that was to
follow them, their journay would prob
ably have been continued to the ends
of the earth. Even chill Canada had
not furnished them asylum from the
law of the range.
That evening Snead returned to his
wifeless home and again the setting
sun shown red rays on the two
ranches. He swore no deep oath. He
did not kiss a dagger with Corsican
dramatics as he mentally promised
vengeance for his shattered home.
But he buckled on his six-shooters,
which custom had long since declared
no necessary part of Texas gentle
mans wearing apparel. From that
moment war was declared on the
house OF Boyce.
Law officers were sent to bring the
girl-wife back to the home from
which she had fed. She still was
Caesars wife. No officers were sent
for Boyce. The only law that Snead
knew had demanded a blood penalty
of him. Snead was content to wait.
Apparently, Snead Forgives His Wife
The wife returned. She was again
made mistress of the broad lands and
the fortune of the husband she had
deserted. To all intent she was for
given, but there was no forgiveness
for the man or the mans kind that
the husband considered had lured her
away and besmirched his honor.
Prominence of the families made
the affair the talk of that section
of Texas. Powerful as was Snead,
he could not keep tongues from wag-
ging.
Another blow was struck at his al
ready heavily laden heart. The elder
Boyce, his friend, his neighbor, his
business associate, was said to have
been fully informed of his sons ac-
tion. In fact, he ha dsupplied the
money that made the elopement and
settlement in Canada possible. He
also had said things that should not
have been said of Caesars wife.
Shoots Old Friend Who Deceived Him
The younger Boyce was still in Can
ada, but the elder Boyce was in Fort
Worth. There was work for Snead
to do. That night hv oiled his six
shooters. The next morning he rode
to Fort Worth.
The cattlemen met in the lobby OF
one of the prominent hotels Of the
Texas city. 1t is not recorded that
Snead gave the father a chance to
fight for his life. AS he construed

Quality--especially In braids-at any

pie are willing to pay. Many coun-
tries, indeed, place such restrictions
on wig-makers, owing to hygienic rea-

more and more rare.
In certain parts of France the ex-
pedient was resorted to of making
wigs from certain fibrinous plants;
especially was this done with those
which have served to furnish mate

them chemically, 1t was possible to
make artificial hair, but the labor in

were almost prohibitive. Moreover,
complaints were made that the substi-

trade, signally failed. Now, thanks to
a series of experiments, 1t has been
found possible to utilize spun crystal

Theory and Experiment.

Theory and experiment must go
hand In hand, and much depends on
one as much as on the other, not
merely on its accuracy but also upon
Its nature. Hundreds of experiments
may be made, which, however. not,
withstanding their refinement and
accuracy, contribute little to the
march Of human progress in the RICH,
direction they may of course in
ages count for much, but the chief
thing is that the experiment should
be of the right kind, and 1t is often
desirable that as much time, If not
even more time, should be spent in
deciding upon the right thing to be
done than in doing that thing itself.
One bad theory is often worse than
ten bad experiments, because even
If these are properly carried out, they
may yet, if based upon false notions,
add little or nothing, If not to the
store at least to the advancement of
knowledge; and count almost for as
little as the one bad experiment
whether based upon theory or not
