lowed by a strange bitter smile that

din.

for her lack Of self-cOntrol. She did
not like the color of scandal; she
hated smudge. Gerty had said the
whole camp knew it; knew why the
Mexican woman was in camp! She
did not trust Gerty in anything else
why should she trust her in that? She
would forget Gerty's gossip.
But she remembered ii wildly that
week as she washed her own khakis ;
as she bent over the ironing board in
Gerty's sweltering "kitchenette." She
thought of ii as she returned Rick

morning; each time they met she
thought of it. And it was in her mind
when she met Sonora MaldOnadO by
the river one day, and made a sudden
wide curve to avoid having TO SPEAK

sTRANGEST OF SHIP FREAKS
British Inventor Must at Least BE
Credited With the Possession OF
Much Imagination.

Since that memorable day, long ago
when our rude forefathers first ven
tured ofIoat in their dugout canoes
many very curious ships have been
built. Perhaps the most extraordinary
of all these freaks was the steamer
Connector. which was launched IN
British waters In 1863.
The Connector was built In three
sections. each of which was, so 10
sneak, ship of itself. The bow or
forward section, which was fitted up In
the usual way, was jointed to the mid
shin section by means of huge DOH
i'm such n manner that, as the snip
nitched, ii could rise or fall quite In
dependently of the other two sections
Thus. as the ship met the waves q
kind of wriggle ran along the hull
First the bow section rose, then the
midship section followed suit, anC
finally the stern section wriggled up
ward.
The craft passed safely through
some very severe trials, and even ven
tured out in heavy weather. The idei
was to build up ships in sections lik'
trains, so that any particular section
could be dropped at the various port
! of call.

HOW FEBRUARY WAS NAMED
Month Known to the Romans az Pc
riod of Religious Expiation and
Publication.

February was one of the two months
(January being the other) introduced
into the Roman calendar by Numa
Pompilius, when he extended the
year into II Of these periods. Its
name arose from the practice or re-
ligious expiation and purification
which took place among the Romans
at the beginning of this month, and
comes from februare. to expiate or to
purify. Among our Saxon ancestors
the month got the name of Sproutkale
on account of the sprouting OF cabbage
at this ungenal season. The name
of Sol-monatt was afterward conferred
on 1t in consequence of the return OF
the sun from the low course In the
heavens, which IL had been running,
starting on the first day of the month.
The following day. or February 2,
has from a date unknown In the Chris
tan history been held as festival OF

Each day was now showing its prog

brush aprons. A few weeks of work,
at the present rate, and the gap would

bypass ready; the trap set for the
Colorado. The tensity of last squirt
was in the air.
1t was inspiring activity, this pitting
of mans cumulative skill against an
elemental force. No Caucasian mind
which did not Jingle, feel the privi-
legged thrill of it. To the stOlid native
this day of well-paid toll was his mil

prophecy. His gods had so spoken.
Food for his stomach, liquor for his

should they. and shorten their day or

Between the two camps oscillated

whites, jabbering his primitive Es-

with the white chiefs, his age and nat
