STRICTLY ACCORDING TO RULE
No One Could Deny That Candidate,
in His Entrance Examination,
Made so Per Cent.

An examination story from the Lon
don Morning Post: They wanted him
badly at the college, but unfortunate
~ there was an entrance examination
from which not even the most promis-
ing of Rugby three-quarters could
claim complete exemption. II was
only an oral Guestioning-and yet one
had TO get 30 per cent to pass. The
matter was left in the hands of a
sporting young don, and his protege
got through. Later on it appeared
that only two questions had been
asked. The first" said the examiner,
was the date of Trafalgar; he got
that wrong. Then | asked him what
the chemical formula for sulphuric
acid was. He said: 4 don't know
really l don't Well, that was right.
for ii was obvious that he didn't know.

Harris told his story with such CO.
herence as he could. fie and his son
had come up into the hills TO arrange
for the purchase of property which
they had become interested in through
n third party, Gardiner. They carried
with them a large sum of money as
proof of the sincerity of their inten-
lions. At this little cabin they were
to be Joined by Gardiner and by an
other, named Rifles, who also was TAX
ing an interest in the property. AS
they waited in the cabin, and as he,
Harris, slept after his long drive. they
We're suddenly set upon by outlaws.
Allan shot one down-the body still
lay In the doorway-but was himself
badly wounded, and had not spoken
since Harris had encountered anoth-
er, but after q severe fight the robber
had escaped. The little black bag in
which the money was carried was gone
with all its contents. Although he had
waited all night in great anxiety, Gar
diner and Rifles had failed 10 appear,
and 1t could only be supposed that
they too had met with foul play. But
some hours after the assault one of the
party had returned. dismounted from
his horse at some distance, and stolen
softly up TO the shanty. Harris had
followed him, and, taking him by sur
prise, had been able to make him pris-

seemed TO lie in "A semi-consciouS con-
dition amid his bonds and gags.
You were foolish 10 come into the
hills with so much money alone" he
said. 81 would have been at your
service for the asking. and this would
not have happened. But now that it
has happened, the first thing is to pro-
vide for the wounded man, and the
next is TO place this suspect in GUS

miles down the valley where you and
ton"
The mounted policeman made brief
examination of Allan, as best he could
in the gray dawn, for the lantern now
had no oil. "He has not bled very
much" he said. "He has a strong
frame and ought to have fighting
chance. / will just have a look at the
scene of the crime, and then we will
move him."
He made n hurried survey of the
cabin. merely satisfying himself that
the man in the doorway was quite
dead, and then, with Harris assist
ance, quickly found the horses and
harnessed them to the buggy. He also
found another horse near the roadway,
saddled and bridled. "We will make
the prisoner ride his own horse" he
said. "while you take your son in the
buggy"
They placed the wounded and still
unconscious Allan In the buggy as
gently as they could. and then Grey
gave his attention to the prisoner.
Having searched his clothing for weap-
ons, he cut away the bonds that Sc
curely held his arms and feet, and re-
leased the sack from his half-choked
throat The man writhed and gasped
for fresh air. and the policeman drew
the sack away and revealed the face
of Jim Travers.

DIDN'T LAST LONG ENOUGH
Possibly the "Woman in the Sky"
Didn't Use a Really Good
Kind of Feather.

Two little tots were still trying out
Christmas sleds although ii was a
week or more after the holiday ana
the short hill down which they were
coasting was entirely devoid of snow
in spots. They would slide along for
few feet until they came TO bare
spot, drag their slcds over the barren
place to the next patch of snow and
repeat
"Where does the snow come from?"
the smaller of the two children, boy
of about four, suddenly asked.
MY mother says ii is some woman
way up in the sky shaking her pillows
until the feathers fall out" was the
naive reply of his companion.

thoughtful pause, 81 wish her feathers
wouldn't melt"

front of him.
"Good morning, Sergeant Grey" said
Arthurs. you're early out"
The sergeant saluted. The salu.a-
ton was intended ror Arthurs. but at
the moment the policeman's eve fell
on Beulah, and even the discipline of
the force coulu not prevent momen-
tary turning of the head.

said, "a man who will need your hos

His father is here. too. unhurt physi-
cally, but on the verge of collapse, If l
am not mistaken"
1--WE will bring both of them in at
once" said Arthurs. "Beulah, will you
call Lillian, and your mother, too? They
may be needed. But who is the third?'
he continued, turning TO Grey.
"a prisoner. 1t seems the older man
overpowered him. Not let us get this
poor fellow in."
The policeman beckoned and Harris
drove the buggy up to the door. Ar
thurs glanced at him with a casual
Good morning" but the next instant
his eyes were riveted on the visitor.
John Harris ~ he exclaimed, taking a
great stride forward and extending his
long arm. Man, John. I'm glad to
see you, but not in these troubles"
Harris took his hand in a silent
clasp, and there was a warmth in it
that set his heart beating as 1t had
not for years. IT'S hard, Fred" he
managed to say in a dry voice, "but
it's good To have you by"
Arthurs bent over Allan, who was
half sitting, half lying, in the buggy.
His face was Slapped and gray in the
growing light. Tenderly the three men
lifted him out. "Take him straight up
stairs" said Arthurs. ut will save

they laid the wounded boy on the

CHAPTER XII.
Converuinu Trails.

Beulah Harris raised her arms above
her head and drank in the fresh noun
tain air that flooded through the open
window.
They had been great times-wOnder-
full times-these weeks spent in the
freedom and harmony of the Arthurs
household Mr.. and Mrs. Arthurs-
Uncle Fred and Aunt Lillian, as she
now called then,-had oEened their
hearts and their home to Beulah from
the first. Indeed, the girl was often
conscious Of their gaze upon her, and
at times she would look up quickly
and surprise strange, wistful look of
yearning in their eyes-a look that
they tried very hard to hide from her.
They wanted to leave her free to live
her own life-to shape her career, for
a time at least, wholly In accordance
with her impulses.
The arrival of her mother ht the Ar
thurs ranch had brought fresh Joy TO
Beulah's life. She saw the color COM
ing back to the old face, the frame
strengthening up little, the light re-
kindling in the eye, the spring return
ing to the step. She had not thought
that her mother, after % years of un-
protesting submission, had still the
nerve TO place limit on that submits
sion. and the discovery had surprised
and delighted her. True, Mary Harris
let II be known that she was only on
visit, and in due course would return
to her home; but Beulah knew the die
had been cast, and things could never
again be quite as they were.
And then sound caught her ear,
and up the trail she saw two men on
horseback, mounted policeman and
another, and behind them other men
driving in buggy.
BY intuition Beulah knew that
mishap had occurred. Quickly she
drew on her simple clothing and hur-
ried downstairs, but Arthurs was al
ready at the door. The little party
came into the yard, and the policeman
rode up to the door. The other horse
nan sat with his back to tho house;

Eyes. But l must see him-I must
help"
Beulah hurried TO the room where
her mother was rapidly dressing. "A
man has been hurt, mother" she said,
with suppressed excitement. 1--WE need
hot water. VIII you start a fire In the
ranges"
Mary Harris mistook Beulah's emo
ton for natural sympathy over suf-
fering creature, and hurried 10 the
kitchen. Mrs. Arthurs was whispering
with her husband in the hall, but
moment later Joined Mary at the range.
Then Beulah entered the room. The
policeman was speaking 10 Arthurs.
II must go into town now with my
prisoner" he was saying. II will send
out doctor at once, and In the mean
time | know you will do everything
possible"
Beulah turned her eyes TO the bed.
A man was lying there, and an old
man was sitting beside 1t. At the Sec
ond glance she recognized him, but in
an instant she had herself under con-
troll. She walked with a steady step
TO the bed and looked for full min
ute in her brothers face. Then she
looked at her father

said.
