September Preserves.

September preserving is by all ODDS
the most pleasant of the fruit season.
The days are much cooler, fruits are
abundant and cheap and the preserving
and picking is of the pungent. spicy
nature that is distinct rellet after the
earlier preserves of a cloying nature.

lock will form a loose curl, hanging a
little shorter than the other curls
which rest on the shoulders.

constant tying and untying OF the hair

A crisp bow is sewed firmly to the
ribbon band and there is no necessity
for untying the bow when the hair is
arranged.
When the lair reaches below the

other couture is ready for her. The

American women who are buying

4 Travelling Woman Can Equal

BY JESSIE ROBERTS.


The successful travelling saleswoman is
no mere creation of fiction. The profess
sion is one that greatly appeals to many
women, and women seem particularly
apt at it.
1t was at railway station in a small

women. The train was an hour late, the
sun had set long ago, and a cold vino

but found 1t crowded with half-drunken
Mexicans. so l returned to the platform.
There, in the one partly sheltered corner,
was the woman.
She was handsome girl, with a fine,
frank face and a hint of amusement in
her eyes, wrapped in a rough coat,
she sat on a trunk carrier under the
flare of a gas jet.

Whose friend?" inquired Bud
bluffiy, but Don Juan struck him upon
the back with elephantine playfulness
and hurried off to his duties.
As for Hooker, he tarried in town
until he got his mail and copy of
the Sunday paper and then, we'll sat
isfied that the times were quiet and
wars thing Of the past, he amDled
back to the Eagle Tail and settled
down for rest.
Flat on his back by the doorway
he lay on his bed and smoked, reading
his way through the lurid supplement
and watching the trail with one eye.
Since the fight with Aragon's Mexi-
cans all his apprehensions had left
him. He had written briefly to Phil
and Kruger. and now he was holding
the fort.
1t had been close shave, but he
had escaped the cowardly assassins
ana mad Aragon in his power. Not by
any force of law, but by the force of
fear and the gnawing weakness of Ara
CONS own evil conscience.
Aragon was afraid of what he had
done. but it was the suspense which
rendered him SO pitiable. On a day
he had sent four armed Mexicans
to kill this Texan-not one had re-
turned and the Texan regarded him
sneeringly. This it was that broke
the SDaniards will. for he knew not
what to think. But as for Bud, he lay
on his back by the doorway and
laughed at the funny page.
As he sprawled there at his reading,
Amigo came in from the hills. and he,
too, was content to relax. Gravely
scanning the colored sheet, his dark
face lighted up.

With four dead Mexicans to the
Yaquis account. and Del Rey in
charge of the district. Hooker followed
his second thought-he said nothing.
and took his chances on being arrest
ed for murder. Until far into the night
Amigo busted himself along the hill
side, and when the sun rose not sign
remained to tell the story Of the fight.

had disappeared. And, after packing a

peared also, with o grim smile in prom.
Use of return.
The sun rose round and hot, the
same as usual; the south wind came
up and blew into a bellying mass OF
clouds. which lashed back with the &C
customed rain: and when all the earth
was washed clean and fresh the last
trace OF the struggle was gone. Only
by the burns on his hands was Hooker
aware of the fight and OF the treachery

was 1t that man so cunning as that

AS Hooker stood blinded by the
smoke and ashes the fellow took de-
liberate aim and once more his rifle
snapped. Then, as the other Mexi-
cans stood agape, surprised at the
failure of the shot, the cannonlike
whang of Mauser rent the air and
the leader crumpled down in heap.
An instant later a shrill yell rose
from up the canyon and as the two
Mexicans started and stared, Amigo
came dashing in upon them, splitting
pistol in one hand and his terrible
''wood-chopping" knife brandished
high in the other.
In the dusk his eyes and teeth
cleaned white, his black hair seemed
to bristle with fury, and the CLINT of
his long knife made a light as he
vaulted over the last rock and went
plunging on their track. For, at the
ure. the two Mexicans had turned and
bolted like rabbits. and now, as the
Yaqui whirled in after them, Bud could
hear them squealing and scrambling
as he hunted them down among the
rocks.
1t was grim work, too. even for his
stomach, but Hooker let the Indian fol-
low his nature. When Amigo came
back from his hunting there was no
need to ask questions. His eyes shone
SO terribly that Hooker said nothing,
but set about cleaning up camp
After he had washed the ashes from
his eyes. and when the fury had van
ished from Amigos face, they went as
by common consent and gazed at the
body of the chief of the desperadoes.
Even in death his face seemed strange
ly familiar: but as Hooker stood gaz-
ing at him the Yaqui picked up his
gun.
Look" he said. and pointed to a
bullet-splash where. as the Mexican
held the gun across his breast. Buds
pistol shot had flattened harmlessly
against the lock. II was that which
had saved the Mexican chief from in
slant death. and the jar Of the shot
had doubtless broken the rife and
saved Bud. in turn, from the second
shot.
All this was in the Yaqui's eye as he
carefully tested the action; but, when
he threw down the lever, a cartridge
rose up from the magazine and glided
smoothly into the breech. With a rifle
full of cartridges the ignorant Mexican
had been swapping on an empty cham
Der, not knowing enough to jack up
she'll!
For a moment Amigo stared a. the
gun and the man. and his mouth drev
DOWN with contempt
'Ha. Pendejo!" he grunted. al

But II the Mexican had been a fool

time he snapped his gun AMIGO had
