frlghtfully suggestive of dislocation.
Yet when she turned him on his back
and released the arm, he made no
sign to indicate that the movement
mad caused him the slightest pain.
There was slight cut upon his
brow, bruise about his left temple.
She tore linen from her bosom. be.

sparing aid from the canteen, washed
the cut clean and bandaged it.
Then, seeing that the storm held
with fury undated, she rose, recon-
noitered and returned to exert all her
strength and drag the unconscious
man across the dry bed of that ancient
Water-cOurse and under the lee of its
farther bank.
There. sitting, she pillowed his
head upon her lap, and bending over
him made her body an additional shell

of dust.
And for hours on end Judith nursed
him there. scarce daring. to move
save to minister to his needs, bathing
his fevered brow and moistening his
parched lips and throat.
In the course of the first hour she
was once startled by the spectral Wis.

of horse that plodded up the arroyo,
bearing two riders on it's back.
Weary with the weight of it's double
burden, it went slowly and passed SO
near to Judith that she was able to
recognize the features of her sister
and Tom Barcus.
Be sure she made never a sign to
catch their attention.
Within the next succeeding hour

it's hot brillance. took on a darker
shade, and then one darker still. Twi-

Not far from where he had rested
there was break in the overhanging
wall of the arroyo. Through this he
scrambled painfully. reaching the level

the UNDECIDED woman at his heels.
A brief pause there afforded both
time to regain their breath and survey
the desert for signs Of assistance: it
offered none, other than what they
might accomplish through their own
exertions. For leagues in any quarter
it stretched without break other than
the black cleft Of the arroyo, cleaning

moonshine-like the face of a frozen
world.

time mighty gust of wind swept
athwart the waste. hot as furnace

and horse, sitting cloud of super
heated particles that stung the flesh
like a myriad needles. And then dark

jerked his head smartly, snapped the
bride from his grasp and flung away,
scudding before the storm.
Pursuit was out of the question:
indeed, the bride was barely torn
from his hand before Alan lost sight
of the broncho.
For a moment he stood rooted in

arm upthrown across his face.

How long he fought on, pitting his
strength against the elements, cannot

In the end he stumbled blindly down

conscious that he had in some way
found shelter from the full force of the
wind.
He staggered on another yard OF

and the storm.
He thought to rest for a time, until
the storm had spent it's greatest

can be attained by placing refrig-

The rest of the house has not been

presents a mighty attractive arrange

pleasant appearance. Across the
front of the house is a broad veranda

and some porch furniture it would
present an ideal spot. In back of the
dining room is coy dining porch
which resembles a sun parlor in many
ways. Two sides of this little room

The living room and the dining

by a colonnade and cased opening

assured. Under the colonnade on

Twenty-one prizes, totaling $337,500,

STUDY OF ALCOHOL.

That the dangers of alcohol should
be emphasized in every school in the
land, was the opinion voiced by DR..
G. D. Cameron of Ohio, speaking be-
fore the bureau of sanitary science
of the American Institute of Homeo-
pathy. While the schools had touched
upon the subject somewhat, he said,
it remained for the European war to
set forth "the true relation of this
demoralizer Of human efficiency"
1.-THE utter desolation alcohol Gre
ates in the home makes it like war;"
he asserted. Like war, it digs the
untimely grave. 1t pauperizes.
Through heredity it creates the neu-,
rotic. It damns and degenerates
wherever 1t comes in contact with
the human tissue. 1t paves the way
for tuberculosis and is first assistant
In disseminating the diseases of vice.
Yet the schools do not manifest the
strong interest In this subject which
its importance in social science de-
serves. Let the forces Of enlightenment
array themselves where the enemies
of society are making their strong
est attack. The schools should teach
that good health is life's greatest as,
set"

union at It's annual convention in Mil
waukee voted to join hands with the
Dry Chicago federation and appoint
ed a committee to cooperate with
that organization. "The saloon" de-
clared the Catholics, is engaged in
destroying civilized society. So long
as it confined its destroying influence
to the male portion of our population
temporizing remedies and expedients
were first to be thought of, but since
the alcohol octopus has enmeshed the
whole family in its Shiny tentacles
with commercialized vice, symptom
of the alcoholic blight, with woman
hood dishonored and motherhood de-
stroyed. the manhood that remains I'M
sullied must arise in defense till the
whole bad business is swept from our

The fireplace, with its CHEEKY, open
fire, has often been called the heart
Of the home, but the refrigerator hid
den away in some dark and dismal
nook is the stomach of the home and
ig just as important as the heart, at
least. The location of the humble
refrigerator and its construction
should be as carefully worked out as
the design of the fireplace.
Homes are generally all designed in
much the same way. The design
starts at the front of the house and
the rooms are carefully laid out. The
kitchen. however, is left to fill up
any space that may be left and the
result is often inconvenient and unsat-
isfactory. The business end of a
house is one of the most important.
Anyone who has worked in kitchen
that has everything arranged so that
nothing is handy and that is too small
to admit of any changes being made
knows what relief it is to have a
well-arranged kitchen.
The house shown here is planned in
just the opposite way from most
houses. The kitchen and all it's parts
have received great deal of atten-
ton. so that all the parts are readily

WATER FOR CHRISTENING.
There seems to be some confusion
on the part of certain good people con-
corning the attitude of the w. G. 7. U.
with regard to the christening of ships
with champagne. The Outlook said
editorially: "The opposition of ex-
treme temperance advocates has al
ways been difficult to understand" 1t
contends that inasmuch as "a bottle
smashed on the bow of battleship is
one bottle that can never be drunk.
such an event ought to be regarded as
another blow to the consumption Of
liquor"
Miss Anna A. Gordon. president Of
the National Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union, being asked to give the
white-ribboners' viewpoint, said: "Our
friends, the 'nonextremists,' are taking
a narrow and superficial view of the
question. They are losing sight of the
symbolism of the rite itself. Consider
the root meaning of the word christen-
ing. One Of the dictionary definitions
Of to christen is, to name, as ship
by ceremony likened to baptism.' Al

omy has been with water. If In days
gone by spirituous liquors were sup
posed to give long life and to bring
good luck, the revelations of science
have thoroughly exploded that theory.
Water is symbol of life, alcohol a
symbol Of disease, destruction and
death, the enemy of life and of efi-
cheney; hence the christening of any
ship with champagne is an absurdity
and an anachronism."
