SOME YOUNG LAMBS

When Young Animal Becomes

A farmer who keeps sheep nearly al
ways has few lambs needing special
care in order to save them.
II one is found chilled. it should be
wrapped in an old coat or blanket, and
placed near q fire to warm.

utes apart, will soon warm it up un-
less too far gone when discovered.
Sometimes the lamb will need 0
good rubbing around the throat and
limbs before 1t can swallow. They
should not be rubbed too much, how.
ever, a. the mother knows her young
by the smell, and it makes work to
raise them by hand.
This can be done successfully II one
is careful in feeding. A lamb will do
the best on bottle, but 1t is a little
more work than teaching 1t to drink.
1t is best to use the ewes milk, II
possible, for q week or two. as one has
to be careful in feeding with cows
milk. II cows milk is used. it should
be made half water. sweetened q little
with sugar. Feed sparingly. about as
one would a baby, about once an hour
at first, and farther apart as they grow
older. II the lamb is small q table
spoonful will be enough at first.
As the lamb grows older make its
feed one-third water and feed more.

When Eileen Roberts reached the
age of thirty-five she resigned herself
gracefully to the prospects OF spinster-

a tendency to adiposity, and settled
down to the expectations Of a perma-

and thrash the viciousness out Of

Poor Eileen Roberts looked woefully
out of place, and neither Wakefield
nor Gray had ever considered her
seriously for anything better.
With her placid. good-natured face,
her tireless industry, her patience, it
seemed incredible that anyone could
make sport of her. She was just the
woman, too, whom some rogue might
have taken advantage Of. Perhaps II
was better that she had not married
to slave for the sort Of man who
would have deluded her into wifehood

of us thought nothing at all. And il

forth 1t was known as Hoskins' Point
Also, had he set up a peanut stand
and a rooster that Kissed merrily In
the ears Of the dock hustlers and

Courtney fingered at, the peanut

rest Of the party hailed him from the
launch. It was already casting on
its lines. and the boy made a care
less running leap, and fell short into
the deep treacherous waters Of BLACK

10 saw the danger first. The great
fruit steamer was loading that day
and lay at her moorings few feet be
yond the little gay launch. Court
ney was borne by the current to the
waters between the steamer and the
piling. Any moment q chance swell
might crush him to death.
They tell the story yet at Ocatawa
how Hoskins' girl kept her head, AND
threw life buoy to the lad and pulled
him out Of danger. And just for ,
minute she had his head on her lap
just for moment as Courtney opened
his eyes and looked up at her.

to dive of. Near him somebody spoke
up.
It's Hoskins' girl, 10. She's come
back a sumner. and the best swimmer

In a fash of recollection Courtney
remembered the scene at the old frult
docks years before. Surely, he reme"-
bered 10 Hoskins. Just the memory
of her had kept his feet in the narrow
path many time.
A cry Of horror rose from the crowd
along the beach There came that
