Tony sighed YEARLY and slapped the
reins on the sleek neck Of his horse.
The horse sprang forward, and in a

were flying toward the ranch in a mad
race to see which one would be the
first to reach the corral.
After supper that evening the cow
boys were gathered about the doorway
Of the ranch house when there ambled
into view a gentle white horse carrying
a small, stout man, who was immacu-
lately attired in pale gray clothes, with
a broad brimmed felt hat of the same

Gamboge is one OF the artists most
important yellows. 1t is the gum resin
of a tree which bears yellow flowers
and leathery laurel-like leaves. The
name of the pigment indicates the
country from which it comes. for gam
boge is simply corruption of Cam
boja or CambOdia. In this far eastern
country the tree grows wild and sheds
those sticky tears which help the
artist To paint the sunrise and the
autumn iints of the woods. Gamboge

from the east toward the end of the
sixteenth century.-Lon Answers.
