For marriage vows and chastity,
The finer, cleaner things of life
And by their acts
Were concubnes TO stranger men
And lost the whiteness of their souls
These bear the burden of the blame
And on their shameless heads is heaped
The worlds contempt they treby reaped
In scorn of worldwide womanhood

Nor through the ages it will stand

And men who knew their women vent
Down to such depths of infamy,

To hold their mates against the world.

both excellent sorts, the latter requir-

I have it all worked out in my alleged brain. 1 shall do it right away too. Aunt Marthy is rather nervous about this gorge now. Every evening she walks up here herself to make sure the bars are closed
 You may as well make up your mind to it. said Billy Louise irrele- vanity in tone of absolute certainty. Those calves were driven out of the gorge. That means stolen. You needn't t | accuse any one in particular. I don't suppose you could. But they were stolen"
 Charlie frowned and glanced up spec ulatively at the bluffs rim.
 "Oh, your mountain sheep theory is no good" Billy Louise giggled. II doubt If lizard even would try to leave the Cove over the bluff" which certainly was q sweeping statement when you consider lizards habits. "A mountain sheep couldn't anyway"
 They're hummers to climb"
 But calves are not, MT. Fox. Not like that. You know yourself they were stolen. Why not admit it?"
 Would that do any good-bring them back?" he countered looking up at her
 No, but do hate to see person | deliberately shut his eyes in front of a fact. We may as well admit to our selves that there is a rustler in the country. Then we can look out for him."
 Charlie's eyes had the troubled look "I hate to think that. Aunt Martha insists that is what we are up against, butt
 Well, she knows more about 1t than you dos believe me. If you'll let down the bars, MT. Fox, I'll hit the trail, and if find out anything I'll let you know at once"
 When she rode over the bleak up- land she caught herself wishing that she might talk the thing over with Ward He would know just what ought to be done. But winter was con- ing, and she would drive her stock down into the fields she had ready They would be safe there surely. Still, she wished Ward would come. She wanted to talk 1t over with man who understood and who knew more about such things than she did
 The fate of the four heifer calves be- came permanently wrapped in the blank fog of mystery. Billy Louise watched for them when she rode out in the hills and spent good deal of time heretofore given over to dreaming in trying to solve the riddle of their dis appearance. Charlie Fox insisted upon keeping to the theory that they had merely strayed. Marthy grumbled sometimes over the loss. and Ward well, Ward did not put in an appear ance again that fall CT winter and so did not hear of the incident.

 She also discovered for herself that they could not have broken out of that pasture and that the river bank was impossible because of high, thick bush es and miry mud in the open spaces.

 I've got an idea about a gate here" Charlie confded suddenly. "Fhere won't be any more mysteries like this I'm going to fix a swinging gate in place of these bars, Miss Louise shall have it swing uphill like this,

The cherry thickets whispered in a light breeze and shell tered birds that sang in perfect con tent. Not a gloomy place surely when the peace of sunny morning laid it's spell upon the land.
 Billy Louise, however, did not re- spond to the canyons enticements. She brooded over her own discouragements and the tantalizing little puzzles which somehow would not lend themselves to any convincing solution. She was in that condition of nervous depression where she saw her finest cows dead by bloat in the alfalfa meadows-and how would she pay that machinery note theni She saw John Pringle calling

VELDT MARKS ITS JEWELLERS
Loneliness and Silence Affect Those Doomed to Live in Plain of
 British South Africa.

Before the Boer war there was a saying current among the Boers of South Africa that you could always recognize man who had spent five years on the veldt. This was saying no less true then than now, for the veldt Is place of great silence and loneliness and it leaves its mark on those who dwell in it.
 The veldt is the great plain of what is now British South Africa, the limit. less, featureless stretch of prairie dot ted with knobs of hills that the Boers call kopjes, pierced and gashed by rain-washed gullies that run their twisting course from horizon to hori- Zon. The word "veldt" Is closely al- lied to the German word for world" or universe" and the relationship Is something more than mere coinci- dence. To the man standing In the midst of this plain it seems to extend in every direction to the outermost limits of space.
 The veldt Is without sound or color without striking features to catch the eye. A days trek among low hills covered with gray grass. plods wear fly through mile after mile of the same hills, and ends in dry valley as like the valley of the morning as one pea is like another. After few days of this the traveller wonders if his prog ress Is not mere illusion, if he is not returning day after day to the same spot.
 Now and again the monotony is broken by some veldt farm, place of exceeding loneliness for the exiles who till it. There will be farmhouse, a barn, kraal, well and few huts for the kafiirs. To the railroad may be distance of anywhere from 20 to 70 miles, Half the year the roads are impossible. The little community must be sufficient unto itself. Life CD a veldt farm is severe eest of the inner resources of man or woman.

unexpectedly and inslstently for his time" and where would she find an- other man whom she could trust out of her sight? John Pringle was slow, and he was stupid and growled at poor Phoebe till Billy Louise wanted to shake him. but he was steady and that one virtue covers many a mans faults and keeps him drawing wages regularly.
 Her mother had been more and more inclined to worry as the hot weather came on. Lately her anxiety over small things had rather got upon the nerves of Billy Louise She felt i'll used and downhearted and as If noth- ing mattered much anyway. She pass ed her cave with a mere glance and scowl for the memories of golden days in her lonely childhood that elung around it.
 She was in this particularly dissatis- fled mood when she rode out of the canyon at its upper end, where the hills folded softly down into grassy valleys where her cattle loved best to graZe. Since the grass had started in the spring she had kept her little herd up here among the lower hills and by riding along the higher ridges every day or so and turning back wander ing animal now and then she had held them in a comparatively small area, i where they would be easily gathered in the fall X few head of Seabeck's stock had wandered in among hers and some of Marthy's. And there was a big roan steer that bore the brand of Johnson. over on Snake river. Billy Louise knew them all. as a housewife knows her flock of chickens. and if she missed seeing certain leaders in the scattered groups she rode until she found them. i Two old cows and one biz red steer that seemed always to have a follow ing wore bells that tinkled pleasant little sounds in the alder thickets along the creek as she passed by.
 She rode up the long ridge which gave her wide view of the surround ing hills and stopped Blue while she stared mo0dily at the familiar, shadow splotched expanse of high piled ridges, with deep. green valleys and deeper hued canyons between. She loved them, every one. But today they fail- ed to steep her senses in that deep con- tent with life which only the great out doors can give to one who has learned how satisfying is the draft and how soothing

lady. Ward hastily returned the mop to its corner, rolled down his sleeves and picked up his gloves Then he stepped outside and waited beside Billy Louise, looking not in the least like a man who has just wiped lot of dishes and scrubbed a floor.
 The nephew, striding along behind Marthy and showing head and shoul- ders above her. seemed not to resent any little mischance. such as muddy water hirted upon him from a broom. He grinned reminiseently as he came up, shook hands with the two of them and did not let his glance dwell too long or too often upon Billy Louise nor too briefly upon Ward.
 When Ward went to the stable after Blue half an hour later Charlie Fox went with him. His manner when they were alone was different, not so exub- erantly cheerful-more frank and prac- tical
 Honest, it fioored me completely to see what that poor old woman has been up against down here," he told Warren. stuihng tobacco into silver trimmed briar pipe while Ward saddled Blue. Il don't know deuce of a lot about this ranch game. but if that old lady can put it across I guess I can wabbte along somehow. Too bad the old man es.shed in just now, but Aunt Martha as good as told me he wasn't much force, so maybe I can play q lone hand here as easy as could have done with him."
 Afterward, when Ward thought it over, he remembered gratefully that Charlie Fox had refrained from at tempting any discussion of Billy Louise or from asking any questions even re- motely personal. He knew enough about men to appreciate the tactful silences of the stranger, and when Billy Louise on the way home predicted that the nephew was going to be a success Ward did not feel like qualifying the verdict.

Crepes and Ponuees.

Crepe de chine, in spite of It's name, does not come from China but from Japan, Italy and France. There are no factories for making silk piece goods In China, all the weaving being done by hand With the exception of pon- gees, the products of the Chinese looms are not popular abroad. except In Oriental countries, being too heavy, although the patterns are wonderfully beautiful and the colors exceedingly rich.
 The pongees are woven in the homes of the peasants, and as they come from many looms no two pieces are ever ex- actly alike in weight, fineness, color and texture. The Shantungs come from the Liutang district, and the Nanshai from the Nighai district.
