Quien Sabe's Debt
Continued from page one.)

AT last she turned into narrow canon
that was scarcely more than an arroyo.
Far up the intricate turnings and wind
ines of the canon, as it split the heart of the
hills, West found Concho tied to scrub
cedar with rawhide reata.
Quien Sabe leaped about the pony. growl-
| ing and capering. West united the reata
and examined it.
Didn't think he'd dare chance it!'' he
muttered. "And it's sure thing he won't
come back now
| As he was about to lead the horse down
the narrow cleft he saw something glittering
in the sand. He stopped and picked up an
empty brass shell. Then he called Quien
Sabe to him and examined her. Unnoticed
in his first hasty glance at her when she had
returned to him had been the clotted red
streak on her shoulder. West dropped the
reata end and sat down. Quien Sabe laid
her head across his knee, and very carefully
The picked the burs from around the wound.
'He tried for you-when you holed him
in here" he said, as if she had understood
each word. "Figured that some one was
right close behind you. Then he tied the
horse and took to the hills. No one but a
coward would have left a horse to die by
inches like that. So we may say that he
won't come back. And he's not worth
following"
Ouien Sabe raised her head and gazed in
to Vests eyes.
"And you, you ragged rascal he went
Concho, here, than most folks think of their
horses. You knew it from the start. So
that's your way of telling me you're glad
l didn't let Bailey finish you, chr And he
said you were no good. Well, folks said
the same thing about Concho, here, when l
started to break him. Now. let's be hikin'
for home.''
Out in the mooniit pasture that night,
Quien Sabe curled herself up beside the
pony. She slept ftfully and turned her
head now and then to lick the long red
got up, the dog also got up and followed.
The singing pain in her shoulder she could
not fully understand, but she did under
stand that the master whom she served had
at last spoken to her in the same tone in
which he usually spoke to his horse. And
Ouien Sabe was content. She had paid her
debt.

The Black Sea
Continued from page four.


All Of these coins were dug out of the
ground on the shores of the Black Sea.
How so many of different denominations
and different periods of time came to be
buried in the earth is mystery.
Odessa was looked upon as one of the hot
beds of anarchy by the Russian government.
During the sanguinary year of 1905, Odessa
was one of the most troublesome spots of the
empire. Several serious encounters between
the police and populace took place. When
a gunboat mutinied, the crew headed straight
for Odessa, where they knew sympathizers
would be found. They anchored in full
view of the boulevard. Great crowds
gathered and inAammatory speeches were
made. This disturbance was followed by a
strike. The strikers in the local factories
were unusually bold and troublesome, and
set fire to warehouses. elevators, and other
buildings. The Odessans grow excited as
they recite these stirring times to visitors.
During the war great excitement has pre-
vailed for fear the feet of foreign soldiers
might march through the streets of this
great Russian Seaport. 1t is very probable
that Odessa and It's people played very i'm
portant part in the recent revolution, the de-
tails of which have not yet been officially
announced.

Where the Ocean is Deepest

A most peculiar fact about oceans of the
world is that the largest depressions are to
be found near the coast lines. The largest
of these are all in the Pacific, two of them
being near the inland coast lines, says the
Popular Science Monthly for May. The
'Swire Deep" just off the Philippines,
measures no less than $4,000 feet from the
surface of the ocean to the bottom. This
isjust 5000 feet deeper than Mount Everest,
in Asia, is high, The "Aldrich Deep"
in the South Pacific, ranks next to this, be-
ing nearly $1,000 feet deep. The third is
the ''Tuscarora Deep" near Japan, which
soundings indicate to be 27,600 feet in
depth. This would then make the bottom
of the Tuscarora Deep over two and three
eighths miles below the as erage level of the
bottom of the ocean.-Er

Fred'S Examination

81 never can pass this old examination in
history" said Fred Rogers TO his Uncle
George.
'Why, what is the trouble?" asked his
Uncle George, who was only six years old
er than Fred, and had just the year before
graduated from Harvard.
Well said Fred, 81 just can't remem-
Der these dates, and the names of the early
settlers and where they landed. I'm going
to ask mother for a cup of strong coffee at

Carries Umbrella for Luck

The Postmaster General, Mr.. Burleson
always carries an umbrella. No matter
when or where he goes, invariably he carries
ttshower stick" with him-and it is dis
reputable looking one at that. The closed
umbrella has a dinky green cover and a
crooked handle and bulges out at the bot
tom as if peck of greens or dressed
chicken were concealed therein.
Friends of Mr.. Burleson have tried re-
peatedly to break him of the umbrella
carrying habit, says the Louisville Courier
Journal; He scorns their appeals. Ad-
mirers have given him at least dozen um-
brellas since he became a member of the
Presidents cabinet, hoping that he would
discard the old one that is his constant COM
paniop, but he has never carried any of
them, so far as has been observed. He
clings to the old one, for some reason or
other.
When he was asked by an inquisitive adj
mirer why he always carried an umbrella in
preference to cane or swagger stick-now
the rage among army officers in Washing
ton-Mr. Burleson smiled and merely said:
ooh, it's just hobby of mine. find
this umbrella brings me good luck
Then he changed the subject.

M IR R 0 R ETTES
By Uncle John

One more Saturday before we celebrate
our Thanksgiving Day. Cheer up.
Men of broad character never seek to
squeeze into narrow, retaliative positions.
IA little nonsense now and then, is
relished by the best of N en-, this applied
to our movies of last week.
Mass was held in the auditorium last
Sunday morning with Father Barry officiat-
ing.
The movie show last week was one thai
cheered the audience. The play was as unny
as its Sunny Jane, five reel mutual
and caused the audience to look sunny.
The weather happened to be fine at our
last Saturdays game, and prompts us to
wish the same kind will be on tap for
Thanksgiving Day.
Don't forget to mark your exchanges
with care. Many exchanges are often
marked with numbers that are very hard to
decipher.
