order for the release Of Juan Garcia.
Juan and his IEeZ and their Juanito to
return to their farm is being made
out" he explained. "Are you sutis-
fed?"
Alaire looked up wonderingly. II am
deeply grateful. You overwhelm me.
You area strange man."
| Dear lady, live to serve you. Your
wish is my NV. How can I prove it
further?"
The strained, throbbing silence that
followed Longorio's last words did
more to frighten the woman than had
have fingered indefinitely over the
table, but Alaire soon rose to go, ex-
planning:
II must finish my disagreeable task
now, SO that can go home tomorrow"
Tomorrow" her host cried in dis
may. "No, no! You must watt
"My husband is expecting me-"
This statement was blow; it
seemed to crush Longorio, who could
only look his keen distress.
AS they stepped out into the street,
in the gutter stood Inez Garcia with
her baby in her arms, and beside her
the ragged figure Of young man,
evidently her Juan. The fellow was
emaciated, his face was gaunt and
worn and frightened, his feet were
bare even Of sandals, the huge peaked
straw hat which he clutched over his
breast was tattered, and yet in his eye
there was a light.
They had waited patiently, these
Garcias, heedful of Longorio's orders,
and now they burst into torrent of
thanks. They flung themselves to
their knees and kissed the edge of
Alaire's dress. General Longorio en-
joyed this scene tremendously, and his
beaming eyes expressed the hope that
Alaire was fully satisfied with the mo-
ment.
"They look very poor" said Alaire,
and opened her purse; but Longorio
would not permit her to give. Extract
ing large roll of paper money from
MS own pocket, he tossed 1t, without
counting, to Juan, and then when the
onlookers applauded, he loudly called
to one Of his officers, saying:
"Oiga! Give these good friends Of
mine two horses, and see that they are
well cared for. Now, JUAN" he ad-
dressed the dazed coun:ryman, II have
one order for you: Every night of your
life you and your pretty wife must say
prayer for the safety and happiness
Of this beautiful lady who has induced
me to spare you. Do you promise?"
"We promised" eagerly cried the
pair.
Good! See that you keep your
word. On the day that you forget for
the first time Luis Longor1o will come
to see you. And then what" He
scowled at them fiercely.

The Kansas City Star recently asked
for the man who would admit that he
played with dolls when he was boy.
P. Casper Harvey not only admits but
is inclined to boast that he reared
family of three dolls, named respec-
lively Barzillia, Jessie May and Edna.
Mr.. Harvey says he has them yet and
has fight with his folks every Christ
mas to keep them from giving the

became indiStinct and unreal. Then
all too soon she realized that the pur-
pose Of her visit was accomplished,
and that she had no excuse for re-
manning longer. She was now armed
with sufficient facts to make definite
demand upon the federal government.
The homeward journey was rep
etition Of the journey out. Jose, as
before, was newsgatherer. Hour after
hour they crept toward the border, un-
til at last they were again laid out on
a siding for an indefinite wait.
The occasion for this was made plain
when an engine drawing single ca
boose appeared. Even before it had
come to pause, a tall figure in spot
less uniform leaped to the ground and
strobe to the waiting coaches. 1t was
Luis Longorio. He waved signal to
the conductor, then swung aboard the
north-bound train.
The general was all smiles as he
came down the aisle, and bowed low
over Alaire's hand.
Dolores gasped and stiffened In her
seat like woman of stone.

"You embarrass me. I'm afraid 70,

mained cool under the mans protesta
tions. II have lost more than a thou
sand head of cattle"

"My husband will thank you for you

to say.
But the mention of husbands wa
not agreeable to one of Longorio's sen

hint Of impatience.
"Yes, yes," he agreed carelessly

Doubtless he is bad man."

"Eh?" Longorio lifted his brows in

leaned forward with an earnest appeal
in her face, and her host smiled.

"Of course. These peladors are all

"Deeply."
"Bastante! There is no more to be

the next room, where were certain
members of his staff. After time he
returned with a paper in his hand, and
this he laid before Alaire. 1t was an

Longorio drew from his pocket several
photographs Of the Austin ranchhouse.
"Where did you get those?" Alaire
asked in astonishment.
"Ah! My secret. See! They are
badly worn already, for I keep them

she sends me books"
Ellsworth laughed silently. "Your

When Nancy Dances

Nancy's mother has just finished
making her a dance frock which she
Is to wear at the final party of her
dancing class. 1t Is filmy and crisp
enough to make a gauze-winged but
terfiy envious-if butterflies could har-
Dor envy-and II Is exactly suited to
the graceful and slender little maid
and her gently frolicsOme dancing.
Long will Nancy remember the glory
Of this frock and the painstaking work
and planning that make 1t such sue
cess.
The frock Is made Of swiss-organdie
fiouncing, very sheer, very white and
very wide. The edge Of the flouncing
Is scalloped, and each scallop frames a
wreath Of dainty embroidery, made of
small leaves and single blossom.
Above this edge there are small, widely
scattered dots and above them a mar
row border of little embroidered bios
SONS and leaves. The scalloped edge
appears only on the skirt, for the dis
eliminating taste Of Nancy's mother
teaches her that much decoration Is out
Of place In the dress of little children.
The skirt Is laid In shallow, even
plaits at the top and Joined to a plain
"baby" waist In which the en-
broidered border appears just above
the waistline. The sleeves are merely

PROTECTION FOR MILK CANS
Heavy Blanket, Dipped in Water and
Wrapped Around Receptacle,
Keeps Out Much Dust.

The only way to have cream reach
the creamery as clean as when 1t left
the farm Is to protect the can. This
is best done by the use Of heavy
blanket, kept for that purpose, dipped
in clean water and wrapped around
the can so as to completely cover all
but the bottom. Dust will sift through
a dry blanket quite rapidly.
The cream can, even IL protected
from dust, should, II possible, be kept
shaded during transportation to the
creamery.
If the creamery managers and but
ter makers would insist that patrons
protect their cans the grade of cream
would be greatly improved, the cans
would look better and the labor of
washing before returning them to the
patrons would be greatly reduced.

With the Fingers!
Says Corns Lift Out
Without Any Pain

Sore corns. hard corns, soft corns or
any kind Of a corn can shortly be
lifted right out with the fingers If you
will apply on the corn a few drops Of
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
At little cost one can get small bot
tie of freezone at any drug store, which
will positively rid ones feet Of every
corn or callus without pain or sore
ness or the danger Of infection.
This new drug is an ether compound,
and dries the moment 1t Is applied and
does not inflame or even irritate the
surrounding skin. Just think! You
can lift off your corns and calluses
now without bit of pain or soreness.
If your druggist hasn't freezone he can
easily get small bottle for you from
his wholesale drug house.-adv.

hem. A little cape hanging In points
from the shoulders and at the front
and back, wells the embroidery In the
bodice and Is edged with val lace.
The Dutch neck is cut square and fin
ished with fine, narrow edging Of
lace also.
The sash, which suits so well the
daintiness Of the dress, and the buoy
ant bow, which holds Nancy's hair,
are of wide, soft satin ribbon In light
sea green. Just why this particular
color and shade are so convincing as
the best possible choice for gossa-
mer dress, is not to be fathomed-but
they are.
Two petticoats. Joined to single
body to make them hang even, are
worn under the frock and they are
made Of organdie edged with val lace.
No matter what splendor may make
little hearts sing at the party, nothing
can shine down the beauty Of Nancy's
dress.

Keeps Cows on Feet.

of Buchanan county, Iowa, In Wal
lace's Farmer. 1t Is inexpensive, un-
patented, easily made, and practical.
1t Is labor-saver. 1t frequently
saves the mixer from a swat across
the mouth with dirty tail.
"a" Is fence board, which may be
nailed or bolted or temporarily at
tached to the immovable stanchion. 1t
should be placed just high enough
above "B" so that Its upper edge just
touches the lower edge of the cows
neck when she Is standing. The same
or a similar device may be used on
the patented swing stanchions, I think,
though have never tried 1t.
If you use 1t In winter, be sure and
put sign Of warning at the head of
your bed, so that at no time will the
poor cows be compelled to stand up
all night long. 1t Is an advantage to
clean all the udders at once, and
when they are clean and ready for
milking, a man dislikes to have any
one of the cows lie down and get her
tail in the urine and her udder in the
dirt or manure; and when she does
get up she'll swat both cows
next to her, and you frequently have
to clean all three.

Sleeves Appearing for Evening.

A noticeable feature of the dresses
seen in a tour of an evening In New
York was the sleeves, some of which
were quite long and no gown noticed
was sleeveless. An occasional non
decollete dress was noted. One elab-
crate one OF fine black lace had the
upper part of the corsage covering the
neck and shoulders with one thickness
Of black chiffon, with sleeves also of
the chiffon. The cloak accompanying
this was of white satin trimmed from
the bottom to about the waistline with
bands Of black satin Of graduated
widths, the last being about an inch
deep.
