What Makes q Girl Popular.

Every girl has the perfectly natural
desire to be popular with the other
sex. and every girl is interested in
knowing the secret of such popularity.
Some girls have the idea that the way
to have a good time Is to break away
from the recognized rules of social
life. The freeand-easy, reckless type
of girl may receive a good deal Of
attention Of q certain kind. but 1t IL
safe to say that men do not really
care for such q girl. Certainly they
do not have any respect for her. They
may enjoy a summer filtration with
her. but such girl never enters seri-
ously into their thoughts. The girl
who is kind and thoughtful to her par
ents Is the girl whom they admire.
The girl who Is disrespectful to her
parents will not long retain the re-
spect Of others. Men know very well
that a girl who deceives her mother
cannot be trusted. A good daughter
has in her the making Of a good wife,
and a man remembers this when he
begins to think seriously Of matrt

WORD OF An INDIAN
BY HAROLD CARTER.

Copyright. 1914. by W. G. Chapman.)
Bafin Of the police told me this
story. OF course he may have been
lying. but my principle is never to say
anything of a man behind his back
that one wouldn't say to him to his
face. and no man that I know would
call Balm q liar face to face.
Corporal Shannon of the Northwest
police set out north from Edmonton on
a March morning to cover an So0mile
trail and bring back Laughing Cloud
to be hanged In Edmonton jail. He
cursed himself as a fool when he set
out. because he had trusted the In
dian and the Indian had betrayed his
trust, thereby necessitating this see
ond Journey.
Laughing Cloud had killed his
brother. and Shannon had gone to get
him the preceding October. He found
the Indians wife, but not the Indian.
He learned from her that Laughing
Cloud, aware of the memorable pun.
suit. had gone north into the Arctic
circle to say good-by to his father
and mother. who were hunting carl
bou over the barren grounds.
Laughing Clouds squaw advanced
singular proposition on behalf Of
her husband. II Shannon would leave
Laughing Cloud in peace to say good
by to the old folks she pledged that he
would appear in Edmonton to be
hanged In February.
As It was too late In the year to
continue the pursuit at that time.
Shannon accepted the proposal. He
had heard that the Indians were faith
full to their bargains, but he was skep-
teal when 1t was q matter of life or
death.
And his skepticism proved justified.
for February came and went, and
there was no Laughing Cloud. Where
upon Shannon, disgusted with the
world, and Indians in particular. sad

He had covered some 500 miles by
the end Of March. housing himself in

he was in . desolate stretch Of coun-

then occurred the worst blizzard Of

They say an April bliizard II apt to
be bad one. but this was one Of the
worst ever known In that region.
Within I'VE minutes Of It, start Shan

Some such shelter Shannon made,
and. coiled up in his blanket, he shiv.
cred himself to sleep. He awoke numb,
and found the blissard raging with
worse ferocity.
Twelve hours later. having eaten al
his provisions. and being unable to
light . flre. he resigned himself to
death. His legs were numb to the
Knees: his pony had fallen In the snow
and was sitter than stone.
Shannon knew what the result would
be. He prepared to face death
bravely. He "a. huddled in his blan-
ket, thinking only Of Laughing Cloud
and his unfL' filled mission.
He must have dosed. for he awak-
ened suddenly TO see IN Indian ct his
side. The man threw back his blan-
ket and revealed the features Of
Laughing Cloud. shannon's heart
leaped to think that the Indian had
been true to his trust.
without q word the Indian stepped
out into the snow. motioning to Shan
non to accompany him. shannon's
legs had been numb. but he felt
tingle Of blood in them now, and he
was able to limp haltingly after
Laughing Cloud. A. they advanced.

eating.

no doubt now that the Indian had
come to surrender himself. and II did
not occur to him to have any fear. He
turned over In his blanket and went
to sleep beside the IRE. while Laugh
