WoMAN's DRESS NOT MODERN

Rock drawings recently laid bare in

Evans Of the British Archaeological as

woman was not only dressed, but most
gracefully. At Cogul the drawings in

formed by women, clad from the waist
downward in wcll-cut gowns, whilst

There was abundance Of raillery In
Lefever's retort: 'That's why you are
rich, jeff"
mo, I am poor because i failed to
study it. That is why am at Sleepy
Cat holding down division. But
now that you've brought Henry up
here, we'll keep him."
"What do you mean, keep hint"
demanded Lefever, starting in protest.
II mean I need him. I mean the
time to shoot a bear is when you see
him. John, what kind Of fellow is
De Spain?" demanded the superintend-
ent, as If he had never heard of him.
Lefever, regarding Jeffries keenly,
exclaimed with emphasis: "Why, if you
want him short and sharp, he's man
with soft eye and a snap-turtle jaw,
man of close sQueaks and short-arm
shots, always getting into trouble, al
ways getting out; man that can

CHAPTER ..
Frontier Day.


Lefever sat sidewise on the edge
Of the table. His subdued whistle,
which seemed meditative, irritated De
Spain more or less, despite his en-
deavor not to be irritated. It was like
the low singing Of teakettle, which,
however unobtrusive, indicates steam
within. In fact, John Lefever, who
was built not unlike a kettle, never
whistled except when there was some
pressure on his sensibilities.
The warm sun came streaming
through the windows Of the private Of
fee Of the division superintendent at
Sleepy Cat, railroad town lying al
most within gunshot of the great con-
tinental divide. De Spain, tilted back

Lefever-Jeffries had the mountain d.
vision then-his feet crossed on the
walnut rim of the shabby, cloth
topped table. His chin lay on his soft,
open collar and tie, his sunburnt lips
were shut tight, and his nervous brown
eyes were staring at the dull finish
barrel Of a new rifle, that lay across
Lefever's lap. At intervals Lefever
took the rifle up and, whistling softly,
examined with care fracture Of the
lever, the broken thumbpiece of which
lay on the table between the two men.
From the Main street side of the
large room came the hooting and clat.
tering of a Frontier day celebration,
and these noises seemed not to allay
the discomfort apparent on the faces
Of the two men.
"Hang it, john" blurted out De
Spain peevishly, what possessed you
to send for me to do the shooting, any.

His companion answered gently

De SPANS expression did not change
under the reproach. His features were

would not ordinarily attract attention
