Watching Our Moods.

WHAT is the source OF the tendency
TO grow careless in eourtesy-real
heart courtesy towards those one loves
the most. Is il peculiarly subtle
form of selfishneSs? One will strive
hard 10 give positive happiness to an
other and then - 1il ii all by careless
~ giving way To Il mood of sullenneSs
or irritation. Is it not the worst self
ishness to he so absorbed in details
of ones own comfort as to hurt 9TH
ers? Only by ceaseless watchfuIness
can one prevent the growth of such
habits.-Edward Howard Griggs.

ably went after him and got him
later.
The ferryman had just returned
after conveying the bootlegger across.
During the voyage small quantity
of liquid refreshment had passed from
the mouth OF the Jar into the ferry
mans. and had unloosened the mans
tongue en- route TO its destination.
Johnson began chatting with the man
and soon ELECTED the fact that Harris
and his sIepdaughter We're eneanped
at q place about three miles on the
opposite bank of the stream, where
they had been with some others for
period OF about ten days.
Il am authorized to arrest them"
said Johnson. Il want you to come
with me and help"
Sure" answered the ferryman,
only haven't got gun"
That didn't faze johnson. He re-
mounted his horse and rode across
country until he came to a farmers
house. Rapping at the door, he asked
the man to lend him a shotgun. The
farmer, not knowing Johnson, and
doubtless scared by the formidable
appearance OF such barrel Of 3 man,
refused in loud tones of anger.
Johnson remounted and began rid
ing away No doubt he would have
continued his journey without the fer
ryman's aid, but. as luck would have
it. he encountered a visitor riding up
TO the farmers house, who proved to
be Mr.. Porter. a lawyer of Eufaula
Johnson knew him very well, for Por-
ter had recently defended a druggist
whose safe Johnson had smashed in
with sledge-hammer in order To get
the WHISKY which was concealed in
side.
However, Mr.. Porter bore Johnson
no ill-will, and. on learning of the
big mans situation. returned with
him and identified him to the farmer
Thereupon the farmer handed over
his fowling piece to johnson, and
Johnson rode back once more. BY
this time it was beginning TO grow
dark, but that did not deter Johnson
at all.
He rode his horse on to the ferry
boat, which started to make the trip.
But the bootlegger's whisky had what
is called a kick to it. and, when
the craft reached the middle of the

ow OF the trees. Johnson went for
ward with his famous '.Pussyfoot'
tread, until he saw three men and
three women grouped about the fire.
A large tin coffee pot was bubbling
upon glowing log, and the smell OF
sizzling fish in frying pan suggested
TO the sleuth his course OF action.
He knew that the murderer would re-
sist capture 10 the utmost OF his abil-
ity. and the situation was a difficult
one. Few men would have tackled it
single-handed. as Johnson did.
Assuming his amiabIe but deceiving
smile-aftefward famous as the safe
cracking smile" from the fact that he
generally wore IT when welding his
ak or observation-disclosures ad-
vaneed boldly toward the group of
men and women.
As he advanced he was able to pick
out. from their resemblance to the
photographs, Harris and his step
daughter, at once. He saw the six
start and glance neryousIy toward

Got any fish to SELF" asked John
son. We're camped along the river,
md we came away without our fishing
gear. They told me at the camp be-
low that you had had good catch .
How much do you WANT" growled
Harris, looking at Johnson sus-
piciously.
Johnson began to dicker, and, while
doing so, he took a hasty survey of
his bearings. A tent stood behind the
outlaws, and he surmised that their
shotguns were undoubtedly hidden in.

until ne stood in the middle of the
group; then he cautiously edged
around until he stood between them
and the tent. Then he suddenly

Without a moments hesitation six
pairs of hands went up in the air
and stayed up. Johnson smiled; then
he whistled sharply, and. to the fur

HOW SCIENCE AIDS POLICE
Detective of Modern School Finds 1t
Necessary TO Have Chemist
Close at Hand.

The modern detective when out on
investigation of murder finds it al
most imperative TO have a chemist
close at hand Tes6y 70 analyZe blood
stains, clothing. or any other article
At the New York police headquarters
two or three chemists arc always in
readiness to be rushed of with their
handbags full of chemicals. micro
scopes. and other instruments to the
seat Of some crime. These chemists
have all the latest scientific inven-
tons at hand when working in their
special laboratory, including high-pow-
er microscopes and apparatus for pho
tographing blood stains.
Other chemists are employed on the
work Of Analysing drugs, such as CO.
caine, opium and morphia. Some are
hard at it making minute investiga-
lions of scraps of dust, cloth. rubber.
and metal. They are often even re-
quired to test the scrapings from be-
meath fingernails, and the dirt on the
soles of the shoes of some dead person
must he investigated in order 10 find
out. whether the body has been con-
veyed from another locality to the one
Ia which it was discovered.

you are Nora McKeehan!" he an
nounced.
The girl broke down and confessed
her identity, while Harris. glaring at
Johnson In fury and helplessness, al
ternately denied himself and upbraid-
ed his companion for betraying them.
Johnson listened till they had stopped
their recriminatiops and then formally
announced that they were under ar
rest for the murder of McKeehan.
Partly to allay the fears Of the rest
OF the camping party. and more TO
smooth over the situation and render
withdrawal possible. Johnson proceed
ed to deliver a harangue. He told
them that If they played fair no harm
would come to them, as he did not
want anybody except Harris and his
stepdaughter: hut that at the first
crooked move he and his companion
would shoot, and moreover shoot to
kill.
Il am going to the ferry" said John
son This man and woman are my
prisoners. and II any attempt is made
to rescue them or TO ambush US we
will kill them first and you after
ward"
In fact, it was tickIish place to be
in. Johnson had little hopes OF escap-
ing either with his prisoners or his
life. The night was dark and in the
tangled underground 1t would be the
easiest thing in the world to follow
until favorable opportunity of shoot
ing presented itself. This was. in
fact. what gave Johnson his reputa-
ton as the shrewdest. justest, wisest,
sandiest man in the Southwest" as
he has been described
Leaving the panic-stricken campers
around their fire, Johnson and the fer
ryman started back with their two
prisoners along the trail Not only

DANCING SEEN IN CHURCHES
Custom Is Practiced Frequently
Abroad in Connection With Va
rious Ceremonies.

This custom is practiced in the par
ish church of Musgrave. in WeStmor-
land. England. in connection with the
ancient rite of rush-bearing. On May
day each year twelve young girls Of
BrouGh assemble in the morning at the
foot Of Brough bridge. decorated with
flowers and fresh garlands on their
heads. Accompanied by a band they
proceed through the fields to Mus
grave. The girls are led up to the
north aisle of the church. and they
hang their garlauds at the side. there
to remain until the next year. The
Gospel is read by the clergyman, pray
ers are offered and psalms sung. A
space is then cleared near the altar
and a fiddle produced. Dancing now
commences and continues until the
afternoon.
Dancing is frequently seen in Con-
tinental churches. During the Corpus
Christi octave q ballet is danced eY-

stream, the ferryman eontrived 20 run
il upon a mud bank. and the united
efforts OF the two were unable 10 get
it on again.
The ferTyman had his horse in the
boat and, leaving the boat where it
had stranded, the two leaped their
steeds into the river and. plunging in
after them, led them ashore through
the shallow water until at last they
stood upon the opposite shore.
There they mounted. 1t was low
twilight, and the dense underground
made riding impossible after they had
traversed a few dozen yards. They
were compelled to dismount and lead
their horses again, pushing aside the
branches and the dense. tangled
masses of vegetation that almost con-
cealed the trail Suddenly they saw
a camp fire in the distance. The fer
ryman, at Johnsons instructions, re-
manned behind, holding the horses,
while Johnson. his revolver in his
hand, went cautiously forward.
The quest was fruitless, for the
camp was occupied by perfectly re
spectacle hunting party, none of
whose members in the least resembled
Harris. They told Johnson, however,
that another camp existed further ip
the depths OF the thickets. Johnson
brought back the news to the ferry
man. and so they made their way
forward once again. in almost pitch
black obscurity, until at length the
gloom was dispelled by the leaping
blaze of a roaring fire a short distance
ahead of them.
Il guess we've got them now" said
Johnson. You stand by and take
charge Of the horses. and wait until
give you the signal. When I want yOs
I'll whistle Then leave the horses and
come quickly with your gun"

However, the three miles was ira

still stranded on the mudbank in the
middle of the river. Upon the bank
the prisoners were ordered to mount

ferryman mounted the other, johnson

was much chagrin when "Pussyfoot'
revealed the identity of his convoy.
The federal officers had learned Of
the tip that Johnson had received, and
had ridden as far as the ferry. but
finding the ferryman gone and the
boat apparently abandoned upon
mudbank in midstream, they had
forthwith given up the chase and re-
turned home
Harris was placed in the local jail
under a strong guard, and his step
daughter taken TO the hotel and kept
there until the following day. when
the two captives were removed TO
the town OF Muskogee.
