to give up like a white-hearted coward,
to let himself be handcuffed and

by some border brute who merely
wanted to add another notch to his
gun---these things were impossible for
Duane because there was in him the

Duane looked around him for a book
or a paper, anything to read but all
the printed matter he could find con-
sisted of a few words on cartridge
boxes and an advertisement. on the
back of tobacco pouch. There
seemed to be nothing for him to do.
He had rested; he did not want to lie
down any more. He began to walk to
and fro. from one end Of the room to
the other. And as he walked he fell
into the lately acquired habit Of
brooding over his misfortune.
Suddenly he Strengthened up with a
jerk. Unconsciously he had drawn his
gun. Standing there with the bright
cold weapon in his hand, he looked at
it in CONSERVATION. How had he come
to draw it? 1t might have come from

Euchre's reply rather chilled
Duane's interest for the moment. Such
remarks always made his mind resolve
round facts pertaining to himself.

Enchre's narrow eyes twinkled, and
he gave the dough he was rolling a

HIDE THEIR REAL FAvoRlTEs
Claim Made That Few Literary Men
Tell the Truth When Asked q
Leading Question.

Now and again men of letters and
other persons more or less in the pub
lie eye are requested to put them
selves to the question and to write
out a list of their favorite characters
In fiction. Sometimes they are hidden
to stand and deliver the, names OF
istalwart heroes, and sometimes they
are desired to lisp lovingly a list Of
loves heroines.
And as these men of letters and 9th
.er persons more or less in the public
eye are human, after all, and therefore
lhypocrites, they are likely to go on the
stand with no Intention of telling the
whole truth, says Scribner's Magazine.
Their secret delight may be in the
mysterious vengeances of Nick of the
Woods; yet this is what they would
never dare confess. SO they get out a
search warrant and they take up g
collection of their thoughts in order
to produce as their first choice Achil-
les or Ulysses, Gargantua or Marius
the Epicurean.
They are equally hacking in frank
ness where they volunteer to name a
bevy Of heroines. They may make a
bluff of indifference to beauty by put
ting in Jane Eyre; but no one Of them
would be bold enough to acknowledge
his sneaking fondness for Becky Sharp,
that most fascinating yillainess.
nhackeray tried to make us dislike
Mrs. Rawdon Crawley, thereby incur
ing the reproach of Taine-to the eff
feet that her creator did not love
Becky as Balzac loved Mime. Marneffe.
Yet, try as hard as he could, Thack-
cray failed to arouse in the average
sensual man any detestation for the
tmpersonator of Clytemnestra at the
Gaunt House theatricals. In fact, If
the average sensual man. had his
choice, he would rather take in to din
ner Becky than the blameless Amelia,
beloved by the long-suffering Major
Dobbin.

possibilities. Duane, realizing that he
was tolerated there, received in care
less spirit by this terrible class of
outcasts, experienced a feeling of re
svulsion that amounted almost to hor-
ror. Was his being there not an ugly
dream? What had he in common with
such ruffians? Then in flash of
memory came the painful proof he
was criminal in sight of Texas law;
he, too, was an outcast.

PLANTER GIVES ADVICE
Asserts Only Sure Method 10 To Burn
All Cotton Stalks Immediately
After First Heavy Frost.

Jackson, Miss.-After devoting sew
eral years to experiments in an effort
to eliminate the greatest pest in the
cotton belt Of the south by a noted
planter. the following advice is given:
"Pull up all the cotton stalks in all
the cotton counties and burn them, be-
ing very careful to make clean burn
ing so there will be none left to start
another generation for the following
year. The boil weevil has filled the
cotton stalks full of eggs now. 1t is
done by a cross-breed of insects, the
may be called elephant snout, and a
small bug about the size of lightning
bug. He is called the sharp-shooter.
The sharp-shooter and the boil weevil
mate together, and make the first gen.
Grafton of the boil weevil that hatch In
the cotton stalk. The first generation
will hatch out of the cotton stalk by
the first of May. That generation viii
hatch out another generation Of boll
weevil insects in fifteen days. Then
in fifteen more days there will be an
other generation to hatch. Now. there
are all sorts and colors of boil weevil
insects. and just as soon as the cot
ton is large enough to form square,
they are ready to cros-Dreed and put
the elephant snout boil weevil In the
squares. You need not mind the old
boil weevil that come out of their
quarters, for they live but few days.
and II there be any harm in him he'll
fail to meet his mate IL the cotton
stalks are burned just after general
frost.
"The insect lives under the ground
in winter. In spring he'll come out.
and If the stalks are burned he'll fail
to meet his mate, and perish"
