strong man Of Sonoma Valley, the

he had followed Ferguson's example
OF working at days labor; but he was
not long in gravitating to q form OF
work that was more stimulating and
more satisfying, and that allowed him
even more time for Dede and the
ranch and the perpetual riding through
the hills. Having been challenged by
the blacksmith, In g. spirit of banter.
to attempt the breaking of a certain
incorrigible colt, he succeeded SO sig
nally as to earn quite a reputation as
a horse-breaker. And Dol he was
able to earn whatever money he de-
sired at this, to him, agreeable work.
His life was eminently wholesome
and natural. Early to bed. he slept
like an infant and was up with the
dawn. Always with something to do,
and with a thousand little things that
enticed but did not clamor, he WIS
himself never overdone. Nevertheless,
there were times when both he and
Dede vas not above confessing tired
ness at bedtime after seventy or eighty
miles in the saddle. Sometimes, when
he had accumulated a little money,
and when the season favored, they
would mount their horses, with sad
dle-bags behind, and ride away over
the wall of the valley and down into
the other valleys.

Slosson smiled and accepted. The
two men faced each other, the elbows
OF their right arms on the counter, the
hands clasped. Slosson's hand quick
ly forced backward and down.
You're the first man that ever sue
ceeded in doing it." he said. Let's
try 1t again"
Sure" Daylight answered. And
don't forget, son, that you're the first
man that put mine down. That's why
l lit out after you today"
Again they clasped hands. and
again Slosson's hand went down. He
was q broad-shouldered, heavy-mus-
cled young giant, at least half a head
taller than Daylight, and he frankly
expressed his chagrin and asked for a
third trial. This time he steeled him
self to the effort, and for a moment
the Issue was in doubt. With flushed
face and set teeth he met the others

Daylight laughed and shook bis
head.
I'VE might compromise, and each
stay in his own class. You stick to

But Slosson refused to accept de.
feat.

and Dede, astride their horses, were
preparing to depart. "Say-do you
mind If l look you up next year? I'd
like to tackle you again"
Sure, son. You're welcome to a
f1utter any time. Though | give you
fair warning that you'll have to go
some. You'll have to train up, for I'm

Now and again, on the way home,
Dede could hear her big boy-husband
c%huckling gleefully. AS they halted
their horses on the top of the divide
out of Bennett Valley, in order to
watch the sunset, he ranged alongside
and slipped his arm around her waist.

sure responsible for 1t all. And l leave

Daylight's ~steadfast contention was
that his wife should not become cook,
waitress, and chambermaid because
she did not happen to possess a house
hold Of servants. On the other hand,
chafing-dish suppers in the big living
room for their camping guests were a
common happening, at which times
Daylight allotted them their chores
and saw that they were performed.
For n who stopped only for the
night 1t was different. Likewise II
was different with her brother, back
from Germany. and again able to sit
a horse. On his vacations he became
the third in the family, and to him
was given the building of the fires,
the sweeping. and the washing of the
dishes.

WOMEN AND HEALTH.

Women are beginning to realize
moro fully that good health is not to
be found in the use Of cosmetics and
face powders. The appearance OF
health may follow facial treatment,
but health itself lies much deeper than
The surface.
Most important to the health OF ev-
cry woman is regularity Of the bowels
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes, bad breath, frequent headaches.

this condition, but the easiest, most

step as you mount, on either hand,
you hear the voice of application
not Of worshippers nor of mendicants,
but OF vendors of post cards and melo-
dious gongs and OF the "whacking fat
cheroot' made famous by Kipling's
On the Road to Mandalay." When at
last you reach the topmost stair and
are confronted by the base Of the
golden dome-for the Shwe Dagon is
an overtowering zone that uprises di-
rect from a stone-paved platform in
stead of from some forms of geometric
walls-a surprise awaits you.
This dome that you saw hours ago
for it is one of the most conspicuous
landmarks that the hand OF man has
uplifted IN the east-is not itself a
temple to be entered with unshod feet
and irreverent heart. 1t is but a
cleaning tower that thrusts itself up
ward from a village of temples, each
OF which is itself a marvel OF archi-
tectural beauty or a monument of
tawdry ornamentation.
But the Shwe Dagon has a lovelier
aspect when you turn from the pagoda-
jewellers to the streams OF devout visi-
tors that empty into the square from
each Of its four gateways. The Bur-
mese seem to worship in family groups
and they have the pleasant habit OF
arraying themselves In their brightest
garments before ascending to the
great house Of prayer. 1t is no un-
common sight to see a dainty little
lady performing her ~genufiections be-
fore a shrine. with the stump of a
very fat and very black cigar pro-
truding at a n~onchalant angle from
her tiny mouth.

many sacred places-but this is the
one overtowering memory OF Rangoon.

MUSIC AS CURATIVE AGENT
Singing Teaches Correct Breathing
and Lively Waltzes Have Good e..
fects on M~elancholia Patients.

Two English physicians of promi.
have recently asserted that the
exercise given to the lungs in singing
Is valuable in the prevention and cure
OF diseases OF those organs. They
consider that increased professional
recognition should be extended to this
special therapeutic agency, as advis.
able In cases where pulmonary con.
sumption is feared.
Singing involves correct nasal
breathing. and this means that the
air admitted to the lungs is prac.
tically germ free, and also the ade-
quate development OF the upper por.
tons OF the respiratory passages. An.
other effect Is the maintenance OF the
elasticity and proper expansion OF the
chest. The necessary breathing exer'
cises mean increased functional &C.
tivity of the lungs. Then. there is
the improved oSygenation OF the
blood. which singing necessarily pro.
notes.
AS We know. most singers and also
those musicians who perform on wind
instruments are q healthy looking lot,
Not many years from now music will
be recognized as a most valuable cur.
alive agent. especially In cases OF in.
sanity or morbidity. What tired, over.
wrought. distressed man or woman
does not know the value OF music.
How many beautiful stories could be
told OF the power of music to sustain
and restrain?
One OF the greatest scientists livins
has testified that he vas once kept

One day, stopping to mail a letter
at the Glen Ellen postofice. they were
hailed by the blacksmith.

fellow named Slosson sends you his

but the crowd with him was In a hur-

said to tell you he'd taken you- ad-

Daylight had long since told Dede
of the incident.
"Slosson?" he meditated, "Slosson?

he was forced to call in Dede to hold
