AS their car left the corner another
followed leisurely. This second auto
mobile contained Thomas Wendt and
his wife Kate The two young women
stopped at the great dry goods shop
near the public library, and for the
time being naturally forgot everything
but the marvels which had come from
all parts of the world. It is as natural
for woman to buy as It is for a man
to sell.
In some manner or other Florence
became separated from Susan. She
hunted through aisle after aisle. but
could not find her; for the simple rea-
son that Susan was hunting for her. It
occurred to the girl that Susan might
have wisely concluded the best place
to wait would be in the taxicab And
so Florence hurried out into the street,
into the arms of the Wendt family,
who were patiently awaiting her
The trusted chauffeur had been sent
around to the side entrance by the
major domo. The young lady had so
requested, so he said.
Florence struggled and called for

crowd.

crowd. Come, now, move on. can't

He was congratulating himself upon
the orderliness Of the affair when a
oen-eyed young man in the garb of a
chauffeur touched his shoulder.

two men bound up the girls head, and
then went about their duties.
For three days Florence evinced not
the slightest inclination to leave the
bunk. She lay on her back either
asleep or with her eyes staring at the
beams above her head She ate Just
enough to keep her alive; and the
strong black coffee did nothing more
than to make her wakeful. No one
knew what the matter was. There was

It should leave her in this comatose
state vastly puzzled the men. The
truth is she had suffered a slight con-
cussion Of the brain, and this, atop Of
all the worry she had had for the last
few weeks, was sufficient to cause this
darkness of the mind.
The final cod was cleaned and
packed away in salt, the mudhook
raised, and the schooner Betty set her
sails for the southwest. Barnes real
lied that to save the girl she must
have a doctor who knew his business

she had not spoken a single word.

1t was perfectly true that Florence
had cast herself into the sea. It had
not been an act of despair, however.
On the contrary, hope and courage had
prompted her to leap. The night was
clear, with only a moderate sea run
ming. At the time the great ship was
passing the banks, and almost within
hail she saw fishing schooner riding
gracefully at anchor. She quite read
lily believed that if she remained on
board the George Washington she was
lost She naturally forgot the marvel
of wireless telegraphy. No longer may
a man hide at sea:
So, with that quick thought which
was a part of her inheritance, she
seized the life buoy, climbed the rail
and leaped far out. AS the great, dark,
tossing sea swooped up to meet her
she noted a block of wood bobbing up
and down. She tried to avoid it. but
could not, and struck it head on. De-
spite the blow and the SHOCK of the
chill water she instinchvely chung to
the buoy. The wash from the mighty
propellers tossed her about. hitler
and yon, from one swirl to another,
like a chip of wood. Then everything
grew blank.
Fortunately for her the master Of
the fishing schooner was at the time
standing on his quarterback by the
wheel, squirting through his glass at
the liner and envying the ease and
comfort Of those on board her. The
mate, sitting on the steps and smok-
ing his turning-in pipe, saw the mas

glass. then raise it again.

REVELATION WAS TOO MUCH
Picture of "Hollering Jones" at Fa-
vorite Diversion Caused Him
to Reform.

A well-known illustrator, who makes
interesting western pictures. once
made the acquaintance of noisy but
good-natured cowboy who rejoiced in
the appellation of '.Hollering Jones'"
In physical appearance this man was
typical of his kind. and the artist made
several studies of him. both In re-
pose and In his favorite diversion of
''hollering.' Some of the studies were
sold by the artist to an eastern maya
zine. They showed Jones in his most
violent state.
A year later the artist again visited
the region. He was soon approached
by Mr.. Jones himself. bearing one Of
the pictures, which he had torn from
the magazine in which its was printed.
Pointing to it. he asked:
"Is that me?"
Well" replied the artist, evasively.
Il got the general idea from you, Of
course, but"
"Oh, l amt takin' no offense." Jones
made haste to say. Its all right; only
II it's me. say So
IF you put It to me that way" said
the artist. 81 can only reply that 1t is
fairly good portrait Of you"
THE men here on the ranch agree
with you So look like that when I
holler, do II"
Il think you do
In that case" said Hollering Jones,
all I've got to say is that Hollering
Jones has hollered his last holler.

ion, no man has a right to look like
that-not round white folks. anyhow"
