THOUGHT MAKES THE HOME
Most Liberal Expenditures, Without
Tastes, Can Not Be Made to Produce
the Charm Desired.

1t is not necessarily the large and
wealthy house that is the prettiest;
the cottage may far exceed it in
beauty and present the most perfect
picture of home, whereas the mansion
may be cold and formal. Most of us
visit the house that never appears to
be lived in, where there is no charm,
no taste, no warmth; yet the furni.
ture is good, there is no lack of money
to keep up a good appearance, and
there are servants to do the neces.
sary work.
The woman who insists on her
rooms always looking pretty will
spend a little money each week on
flowers or pot ferns. Small laurels
in pots look well and last WE'LL they
also make economical window plants.
Of course a window-box should find
o place on the ground floor sill if not
above, and be filed with evergreens in
winter and flowers in summer. Blue
tiles or green tiles look we'll in flow
er boxes.
Pictrue frames are often allowed
to hang on the walls in a disgraceful
condition especially white-painted
frames, and those can so easily be
freshened up with a coat Of enamel
paint, which should not be stinted
when required.
Then, again, the material of uphol
stored furniture is sometimes as much
soiled as the picture frames, and its
unfit condition is a great offense to
the eye. It may not be convenient to
re-upholster, blu at any rate chintz Oh
cretonne loose covers could be pro-
vided.
Let all draperies used in the house
be clean, otherwise there will be
lack of freshness about the house.
Send chair and soft covers and cur
tains to the wash before their soil
ed condition is over-aggressive, and
bear the same rule in mind with re-
gard to cushion covers.
The pretty home is the one that Is
clean and tasteful.

CHAPTER ".
The Attack.

ne Attack.
Slightly more than sixty miles, as
the route ran, stretched between old
Fort Dodge and the ford crossing the
Arkansas leading down to the Cimar-
ron; another sixty miles distant,
across a desert of alkali and sand, lay
Devere. The main Santa Fe trail,
broad and deeply rutted by the in
Vulnerable wheels of early spring
caravans, followed the general course
of the river, occasionally touching the
higher level plainss but mostly keep
ing close beneath the protection of the
northern bluffs, or else skirting the
edge of the water. Night or day the
route was easily followed, and, in 9th
er years, the traveller was seldom fer
long out Of sight of toiling wagons
Now scarcely wheel turned in all
that lonely distance.
The west-bound stage left the sta
ton at Deer Greek at four o'clock in
the afternoon with no intimation of
danger ahead. It's occupants had eat
en- dinner in company with those of
the east-bound coach, eighteen miles
down the river It Canon Bluff, and the
incoming driver had reported an open
road, and no unusual trouble. No In
dian signs had been observed, not
even signal fires during the night, and
the conductor, who had come straight
from Santa Fe, reported that troops
from Fort Union had driven the only
known bunch of raiders back from
the neighborhood of the trail, and had
them already safely corralled i'll the
mountains. This report, seemingly au-
thentic and official, served to relax
the nerves, and the west-bound driver
sang to himself as he guided the four
horses forward, while the conductor,
a sawed-off gun planted between his
knees, nodded drowsily. Inside there
were but three passengers, jerking
back and forth, as the wheels struck
the deep ruts of the trail, occasionally
exchanging a word or two, but usual
ly staring gloomily forth at the mo-
notonous scene. Miss Mcdonald and
Moylan occupied the back seat, some

Hamlin struggled to the nearest win

off with sharp crack, and hinging
down the frightened animals, the
wheels crashing against them, as the
coach came to sudden halt. Hamlin
hung on grimly, flung forward to the

body bruised and aching. One horse
lay motionless, head under, apparently
| instantly killed; his mate struggled to
| his feet, tore frantically loose from
the traces, and went flying madly
down the slope, the broken harness
dangling at his heels. The Sergeant
sat up and stared about, sweeping the
blood from slight cash out of his
eyes. Then he came to himself with

WRIGHTS GET INJUNCTION
ON USE OF AEROPLANES

BUFFALO, N. Y, Feb. 2S.-Judge
John r. Hazel, in United States Dis.
trict Court, today granted the
Wright brothers petition for a per-
manent injunction restraining Glenn
H. Curtis and others from manufac-
turing and selling aeroplanes, i'm
portant parts of which were alleged
to have infringed on Wright patents.
A stay was granted by Judge Hazel
pending further appeal, on the con-
dition that the appeal be taken
promptly.
The chief infringement alleged by
the Wrghts was upon attachments
for maintaining equilibrium of the
machines while in fight. On the
Wright machines this is accomplished
by a warping of the planes by the
operator and the use of horizontal and
vertical rudders, while on the Curtis
machine the same result was secured,
it was claimed, by ailerons or small
auxiliary planes attached to the ends
of the main planes.
