1.-The Quicksands"


Jack Daeey was so temperamental,
due to his artistic nature, that he
finally arrived at the point where his
pretty wifes displays of affection be-
came uncomfortable. He found himself
unbearably irritated when she stroked
his hair or patted his hand or smiled
archly at him, and feeling that his
temperament warranted him in his
action he calmly went away from
home, merely writing her a note that
| he was going on a long trip and CIV
ing no destination. Marion was hurt
| by this treatment. but she was quite
| helpless, so she lived along from day
to day, waiting for the next explosion
of his temperament.
In the meantime Dacey went to a
fashionable resort. where he sketcned
and smoked and wandered and met
Miss Belle Haskins, a young woman
| of personal attractiVeneSs and large
| fortune This combination of quail
ties so appealed to Dacey that he ar
ranged to meet her frequently, quite
forgetting the waiting Marion in the
| little bungalow, and lively romance
began to flourish. One day while he
was roaming, dreaming of Miss Has
| kins's charms, one of the men about
the hotel warned him of a dangerous
ouicksand stretch just off the general
road.
So distinguished man as Jack
Dacey could not long remain lost to
the public, and in time a news item
appeared concerning his sojourn in
this particular resort. His wife saw
the item and she fastened to join
him. At the station she was met by
Jim Smith, but on her way to the no.
tel she saw her husband sketching on
the side of one of the bluffs, jumped
out of the cart and started to run to
him. He saw her coming, saw her
slip into the dangerous quicksand,
and hid among the trees, thinking
that Providence had offered him this
way to the charm and fortune of Miss
Haskins.
Marion's cries for help attracted
Jim Smith, who pulled her out with
n lariat unknown to Dacey, who had
retreated out of hearing range, and
took her to his simple little home
where his sister Ann cared for the
girl until she recovered from the
shock. Then Marion insisted upon
going to the hotel and seeing her hus-
band. Smith went with her and they
found him and Miss HaslSins the CEN
tire of a small breakfast party on the
veranda, arriving just in time to hear
the artist announce his engagement
to the heiress and clasp her in his
arms.
Then he saw Marion, whom he had

"BUNCo BILLS VISIT"
VIA al

John Bunny and Flora Finch turn
morous rural sketch. One of Farmer
Bunny's farmer .neighbors is robbed,
and Bunny is so loud and sure in his
statement of what he would do If a
robber visited him that the wearied
Flora decides to show him just what
he would do. Disgusting herself in
some masculine garments and putting
mask over her face, she slips into
the room where Bunny is browsing
over his newspaper and pokes the
cold muzzle of the gun under his chin.
Bunny has no time to put into action
any of his plans. All he does is to
throw up his hands and grovel on
his knees while the delighted bandit
capers before him with the gun held
in an uncomfortably direct line with
his anatomy.
But Bunny was shrewd enough to be
farmer, and the groveling brings
him In line with the bandits feet
which he recognizes at once as be-
longing to his Flora. While she is
triumphant at her easy success her
humble victim is surreptitiously re-
leasing several mice from the trap on
the floor. These mice Immediately re-
verse the tables. Flora jumps from
banditism to feminism in her leap
from the floor to the nearest chair,
ana Bunny, shaken with victorious
chuckles, sinks comfortably back into
his seat
Flora leaves the room to discard her
desperate gear, and when the door
opens again and cold metal is pressed
against his neck, Bunny shakes it off
as he would a fly, thinking it is mere
ly Flora returned. But this time 1t is
the real bandit. who had robbed the
neighbor, and when Bunny awakes
to the situation he proceeds trem-
blingly to shell out his plump roll of
banknotes.
But Flora is real helpmate, and,
after calling outside for help, she en-
tiers with her gun on the bandit, who
is not wise to the efficacy of mice as
weapons of defense and reduced the
villain to submission.
The reward offered for the bandits
capture is given to Bunny, who hands
II straight over to Flora. She takes
1t. laughs. and gives him half, laughs
some more, and gives II all back to

TUESDAY, MAY ss. 1914.

Athletes and vrestlers should benc-

The aspect is not fortunate one
for beginning long journeys. Uran-
us when adverse, is believed TO have
power to increase the number of ac-
cidents which occur where explosives
or electric appliances are employed
While Saturn frowns it is wise to
seek the company of optimistic per-
sons, as the influence tends to dis

! this planet is attributed a tendency
to recognize personal limitations AMI
to indulge in bitter discomfort.
Uranus is said to exercise power
for evil in many world affairs which
will eliminate in the summer. The
conjunction Of this planet with the

Measurina a Trees Height.

The simplest. way to find out the height of a tree, is one that civilized man owes to one Of the most primitive races-the Australian bushmen. stand with your back toward the tree at a point that you think the top of ths. tree would reach if the tree were fellea Stoop down and look back betweef your legs at the top of the tree. Move forward or backward until you cait just see the sky over the highes branch: there make your mark The distance from that mark to the trunk will be the height of the tree. There may be some boys so built that thea cannot measure anything higher than a gooseberry bush by this method, but even these will find it an amusingly accurate substitute for more scientific methods.-Y Youths Companion.

Plant Protection.

Many plants are equipped with won derfuI weapons for their defense. The thorns of the rose bush. bfamble and gorse prevent cows and horses from eating them, as well as keep off snails and slugs.
 Cactus plants have a formidable armor of prickles and daggers. The plant known as the Spanish bayonet is armed with taper pointed spears that have flelflze edges.
 Some plants. such as the ragged robin, have sticky stems covered with fine hairs, to which insects stick if they climb up to try to steal the honey
 The sun spurge has poisonous juice which kills insects. while the poisonous properties of the deadly nightshade are well known. The bracken fern has such a bitter taste that cows and sheep will not touch it.

 MT. Woodville wanted a certain man te come and cook for him on @9ourney. The man was doubtful whether he could leave his mother, who was very old and infrm, but he said he would try to follow MT. Woodville in day or SO Eventually he arrived. and MT. Woodville asked what arrangements he had made about his mother.
 He replied" says MT Wa1dvilIe, 'sthat the old woman was very decrepit and that she could not last long. I knew all that, but I wanted to know what he had done for her during his absence. He went on telling me how hard it was to get living until at last got impatient. Then S1ae told me quite calmly that as his mother was so old and useless he had thought it best to poison her and that he had stopped behind, as good son should, to have her buried properly"
 Mir Woodville adds that the man was such liar thar he didn't believe he had done anything Of the sort, though he was quite capable of it.
