Every transforming company has as
not the least important part of its
equipment pair of followed coconut
shells, which, in the hands of the stage
mechanic, sounds more like a horse
than horse itself. Now that most Of
our melOdrama comes to us through
the motion pictures, along comes an
imitator of gathering hoofs to be at
tached to stationary organ. 1t is
operated from the keyboard by lever
or button. With the aid of a swell
box, the sound can be made to swell
or diminish
The device consists of six cups, the
upper three of which are secured to
the bellows and the lower three of
which are mounted on solid base.
To operate them, the organ player
presses a key which causes the first
cup to come down with thud, fol-
lowed in quick succession by the other
two cups. There is no break in the
action. The cups are made Of maple.

CHAPTER VII.
Each In His Own Trail.

Each In His Own Trail.
CINCE nothing in this world is abso-
lutely immutable - the human
emotions least of all perhaps
Billy Louise did not hold changeless
her broken faith in Ward. She saw it
broken into fragments before the evil
dence of her own eyes and the frag-
ments ground to dust beneath the
weight of what she knew of his past
things he had told her himself. SO she
thought there was no more faith in
him, and her heart went empty and
aching through the next few days.
But, since Billy Louise was human
and a woman-not altogether because
she was twenty-she stopped after
awhile, gathered carefully the dust Of
her dead faith, and, like God, she be-
gan to create. First she fashioned
doubts Of her doubt. How did she
know she had not made a mistake,
there at that corral? Other men wore
gray hats and rode dark bay horses;
other men were slim and tall, and she
had only had a glimpse, after all, and
the light was deceptive down there in
the shadows. When that first doubt
was nodded and she had breathed into

will be the great test of life and death
struggle on the Western front. In the
everyday walks of life, it is the spring
time that brings i'll health. One of the
chief reasons why the rundown man
finds himself in bad state of health in
nearly all his hours for the past four or
five months penned up within the walls
of house, factory or Office. It is the rea-
son for our diminished resistance-that
is, lack of outdoor life, coupled with
perhaps over-eating, lack of good exer-
else, insufficient sleep, and constipation.
In other words, we keep feeding the
the "clinkers," and our fire does not burn
brightly. Always keep the liver active.
There is nothing better for health then

slis read. She slid the little heap Of
odds and ends to the middle OF the bed,
crushed the clipping into her palm and
went out stealthily into the immaculate
kitchen. AS if she were being spied
upon she went cautiously to the stove,
lifted lid and dropped the clipping in
where the wood blazed the brightest.
She watched it flare and become moth
ing-not even a pinch Of ashes; the
clipping was not very large. When 1t
was gone she put the lid, back and
went tiptoeing to the door. Then she
ran.
Phoebe was down by the creek, so
Billy Louise went to the stable,
through that and on beyond, still rum
ming. Farther down was grassy
nook-on beyond the road. She went
there and hid behind the willows,
where she could cry and no one be the
wiser. But she could not cry the ache
out Of her heart nor the rebellion
against the hurt that life had given
her. If she could only have burned
memory when she burned that clip
ping! She could still believe and be
happy lie only she could forget che
things it said
Phoebe called her after long while
had passed. Billy Louise bathed her
face in the cold water Of the Wolverine,
used her handkerchief for towel and
went back to take up the duties life
had laid upon her. The doctors team
was hitched to the light buggy he
drove, and the doctor was standing in
the doorway with his square medicine
case in his hand waiting to give her a
few final directions before he left.
He was like so many doctors-he
seemed to be afraid to tell the whole
truth about his patient. He stuck to
evasive optimism and then neutralized
the reassurances he uttered by empha-
sizing the necessity of being notified If
Mrs. Macdonald showed any symp-
toms of another attack.
Billy Louise ran into her own room,
grabbed can Of talcum and did not
wait to see whether she applied it even
~ to her telltale eyelids, but dabbed
at them on the way to her mothers
room.
Doctor says you're all right, NOM
ME; only you mustn't go digging post
holes or shoveling hay for awhile
'sNo, I guess not!" Her mother re-
sponded unconsciously to the stimula-
ton Of Billy Louises tone. Il couldn't
dig holes with teaspoon, I'm that
weak and useless. Did he say what it
was, Billy Louise?" The sick are al
ways so curious about their illnesses.
"Oh, your. lumbago got to scrapping
with your liver. I forgot the name he
gave it, but it's nothing to worry
about" Billy Louise had imagination,
remember.
IT guess he'd think it was something
to worry about If he had it," her moth
er retorted fretfully, but treasured new
ertheless by the casual manner OF Billy
Louise. II believe I could eat little
mite Of toast and drink some tea," she
added tentatively.
"And an egg poached soft if you want
it, MON. Phoebe just brought in the
eggs" Billy Louise went out humming
unconcernedly under her breath as if
she had not care beyond the proper
toasting of the bread and brewing Of
the tea.
One need not go to war or voyage to
the far corners Of the earth to find the
stuff heroes are made of.

This suggestion will be beneficial to
housewives who have not the conven-
fence of electricity OF the modern gas
fixtures. Frequently this ceiling above
an old-fashioned gas jet becomes dis
colored from smoke and heat. The
discoloration may be removed If a
layer Of starch and water is applied
with piece of flannel. After the mix
ture has dried it should be brushed

it the breath of life SO that 1t stood
sturdily before her she took heart and
created reasons, a whole company OF
them, to tell her why she ought to give
Ward the benefit Of the doubt. She
remembered what Charlie Fox had said
about circumstantial evidence. She
would not make the mistake he had
made.
So she spent other days and long,
wakeful nights. And since it seemed
impossible to bring her faith to life
again just as it had been, with the
glamor Of romance and the sweetness
Of pity and the strength Of her own IN
nocence to make it beautiful faith
indeed, she used all her innocence and
all her pity and little CT romance and
created something even sweeter than
her untried faith had been. She had a
new element to strengthen it. She
knew that she loved Ward. She had
learned that from the hurt it had given
her to lose her faith in him.
That was the record Of the inner
Billy Louise which no one ever saw.
The Billy Louise which her little world
knew went her way unchanged except
in small details that escaped the no.
tice of those nearest her. A look IN
her eyes for one thing; hurt, ques-
tioning look that was sometimes re-
bellious as well; droop Of her mouth
also when she was off her guard; sad,
tired little droOp that told Of the weight
Of responsibility and worry she was
carrying.
Ward observed both the minute he
saw her on the trail. He had come
across country on the chance that she
might be riding out that way, and he
had come upon her unawares while
she and Blue were staring out over the
desert from the height they had attain
ed in the hills.
"'LO, -Bill!' he said when he was
quite close and held himself ready to
meet whatever mood she might pre-
sent.
She turned her head quickly and
looked at him, and the hurt look was
still in her eyes; the droop still show
ed at her lips. And Ward knew they
had been there before she saw him.
"Wha's molla, Bill?'' he asked in the
tone that was calculated to invite an
unburdening of her troubles.
"Oh, nothing in particular! Nom
mics been awfully sick, and I'm al
ways worried when I'm away from the
ranch for fear she'll have another spell
while I'm gone. The doctor said she
might have any time. Were you head
