She Sat Down on the Rock Where
MarthY Had Rested.

dfrcA X'm putin in. You test do what
you've a mind to-" She picked up the
shovel and went OF down the jungly
path, herself the ugliest object in the
cove, where she had created 80 much
beauty.
Billy Louise sat down on the rock
where Marthy had rested after digging
the grave and, with her chin In her two
cupped palms, stared out across the
river at the heaped bluffs and down at
TIE. pink and white patch Of fruit trees.
She was trying, as the young will al
ways try, to solve the riddle Of life, and
she was bafled and unhappy because
she could not find any answer at all
that pleased both her ideals and her
reason. And then she heard q mans
voice lifted up In riotous song and she
turned her head toward the opening Of
the gorge and listened, her eyes bright
ening while she waited.
Ward came into sight through the lit
tie meadow, riding slowly, with both
hands clasped over the horn Of the sad
die, his hat tilted back on his head and
hi whole attitude one of absolute con-
tent with life. He saw Billy Louise
almost as soon as she glimpsed him,
and she had been watching that bit Of
road quite closely. He fipped the reins
to one side and turned from the trail to
ride straight up the slope 70 where she
was.
Billy Louise, with a self reproachful
glance at the grave, ran down the slope
to meet him-an unexpected welcome,
which made Wards heart leap I'm his
chest.
"Oh, Ward, for heavens sake, don't

horse absently, and Ward looked down
at her and did not miss one little light
or shadow in her face.

with that repressed smile which Billy
Louise was beginning to look for In
his face.
Now that matters had approached
the point Of decision her mother stood
looking at her helplessly, waiting for
her to speak. Billy Louise drew her
self up primly and ended by contra
dieting the action. She gave him a
sideloBg glance which he was least
prepared to withstand, though, In jus
ticR to Billy Louise, she was absolute
ly unconscious of its general effective
ness and twisted her lips whimsically.
Wen stake you to book, ban

Mr.. Warren" she said quite soberly;
"also to pitchfork and an ak, If you
like, and regular wages"
His eyes went to her and steadied
there with the intent expression in
them. ''Thanks. Cut out the wages
and I'll take the offer just as 1t
stands" he told her and pulled his hat
farther down on his head. "Shes go

he added In quite another tone on his
way to the door. Five o'clock by the
town clock, and al-lrs WELL" This
last In still another tone as he pushed
out against the swOoping wind and
pulled the door shut with slam
They heard him whistling a shrill, roll
licking air on his way to the creek
at least it sounded rollicking the way
he whistled it."
"That's The Old Chisholm Trail he's
whistling," Billy Louise observed un-
der her breath, smiling reminiscently,
''the very song used to pretend he
always sang when he came down the
canyon to rescue me. But Of course
knew all the time he's a cowboy. II
said so"-
The whistling broke, and he began
to sing at the top of q clear, strong
lunged voice an old, old trail song
beloved Of punchers the West ever.
"What did you say, Billy LOuisei
I'm sure it's a comfort to have hitr
here, and you see he was glad and
willing"
But. Billy Louise was holding the
door open half an inch, listening an6
slipping back into the child world
wherein Ward Warren came singing
down the canyon to rescue her. Tht
words came gustily from the reel
down the slope:

LEGAclEs OF BRAINS.
Doctors Who Bequeath Their Tai.
ents for Scientific Study.

Announcement was made short
chief of the United States bureau of
entomology, had declared to the
American association for the Ad.
vancement of science that he would
bequeath his brain for scientific study
to a school that specializes in neurol-
ogy. A number of other scientists who
attended the meeting expressed ad-
miration for the doctors action and
are reported to be considering SINH
lar bequests of their own brains.
There was a British physician
named Robert PEBBLES who created a
sensation in London and Edinbh hrgh
several years ago by his insistent
coaxing of athletes for the privilege
of studying their bodies after death.
He had been experimenting with the
muscles and had arrived at what his
associates termed fantastic notion
that some sort of operation could be
performed on the leg of the human
runner so that his speed could be in
creased. Leapers and high jumpers
were his hobby, and in the course of
five years it was estimated that he
had examined the leg muscles of near
IL thousand men, making compari-
sons with the running and leaping
muscles of the frog, the deer, the
greyhound and other animals.
PEBBLES was man of means, and
after he had succeeded in inducing
half dozen athletes of reputation to
will him their legs" the attention of
surgeons was attracted. They took
the matter under consideration at one
OF their quarterly meetings and
warned PEBBLES they would have him
committed to a sanitorium If he COZ
tinued his strange pursuit. PEBBLES
dened them and they had commits
sion appointed. While his sanity was
being tested PEBBLES died. In his will
he bequeathed his brain to the com.
mission.-New York Sun.

I lifted a hand and waved him to
Temi at the table. He crossed and
produced a telegram and receipt-book
from his cap, showing them like an
automaton into Duals hands.
Semi took the message and signed
the book, slit the envelope open and
gave the message one glance, turned
and tossed it to me.
I Icaught it as it fluttered and spread
It before my eyes, and then con-
tinued to stare. It was brief and SEEM

things which had been treading on

cover and walked over to the table.
There laid it down and raised my
eyes to the gray ones of my friend.
Deep within them l fancied saw a
faint spark of something like invita-
ton, and l burst out in brief piqued
question:
For the Lords sake what does it
mean?"
Dual punched his papers in his
hands. folded them twice, and thrust
them into his pocket.

CAT WISER THAN THE HORSE.
Rated Next to Man in intelligence and
Sagacity.

Horses are generally given credit
for a great deal more intelligence
than they actually possess. Scientific
tests show that in wisdom such as
human beings display horses are
hopelessly outclassed by dogs, mon.
keys, and even by cats.
The horse can be taught to do GER
tain things just because he is too
stupid to have any ideas of his own.
Like many prize pupils, he can
learn but cannot think.
So far as intelligence goes psyche
logical experiments show that it is
practically dead heat between cats,
dogs and monkeys.
The dog has human morals, there
fore people are apt to assume that he
has human logic. But the cat, say
certain persons, in sheer brains
stands next to man. He has the adap-
tive intelligence that makes him
equally at home in parlor or wild
woods, and gets him a living any
where. A cat, it is argued, can think
faster and take care of himself un-
der more different conditions than
any other living thing except man.
Monkeys, undoubtedly, seem more
intelligent than they really are be-
cause they resemble human beings in
actions and outward appearance SO
much more closely than other ami
mails.
Some scientists maintain that altho
the monkey may be really no more in
telligent than the cat or dog his in
telligence is certainly much more like
the human type.
Altho he may not think better his
methods of thought are more like
those Of man than are those of the
other animals.
