Rules Laid Down by Old Masters.

A Brazilian art scholar asserts he has discovered how the old masters of painting and sculpture worked. He has taken the pictures and shown. by drawing lines and angles on them. how the artists gave their compost tions strictly mathematical founda- tions. Ancient Egyptian artists had a rule of proportions based on the length of the middle finger, the dis tance of which was contained nine teen times in the length of the whole body. Greek artists adopted these proportions until 1t was established that the face must be a tenth part and the head an eighth part of the total height of the body. The face was divided into three equal parts from the roots of the hair to the root of the nose from the root of the nose to Its point, and from the end of the nose to the chin.

Trees Grandeur and Beauty Seem to Have impressed Each Ancient
 Race in Turn.

The ancient races, struck with the noble aspect of the oak, have in all ages enveloped 1t in the clouds of their legends and carried it back to the re- motest antiquity. Of this class was the holm oak, which in the days of Pliny still existed near Rome, on the trunk of which was an Etruscan in scription in letters of brass stating that before the existence of the Eternal city it was already the object of popu- lar veneration. The Roman naturalist also asserts that ir the environs of Heracles, in the kingdom of Pontus, there was tradition that two oaks which overshadowed the altar of Jupi- ter Stragius had been planted by Her. cules. The origin of certain trees is lost in even remote antiquity
 The imposing terror of the Her cynian forest has deeply impressed all those who have described Germany, and Pliny and Tacitus especially. The aged oaks of It's somber wales, where wandered the elk and the aurochs, es pecially aroused the admiration of the Roman historian. "The majestic gran deur of the oak in this forest" he says, 'surpasses all imaginable belief; this tree has never been touched with the ax; 1t is contemporary with the crea- tion of the world and appears to be the symbol of immortality"

flight. stood still and waited in white terror while the huge steer numbered toward her.
 A COW pony, wheeled as on a dol lar, jumped to an instant gallop. The man riding 1t was the one who had warned her back to the car. Horse and ladino pounded over the ground toward her. Each stride brought them closer to each other as they converged toward the sand spit. It came to her with a gust of panicky despair that they would collide on the very spot where she stood. Yet she did not run.
 The rider, lifting his bronco forward at full speed, won by a fraction of a second He guided in such a way as to bring his horse between her and the steer. Without slackening his pace in the least as he swept past, the man stopped low, caught the girl beneath the armpits, and swung her in front of him to the back of the horse. The steer pounded past so close behind that one of its horns grazed the tail of the COW pony.
 It was a superb piece of horseman- ship, perfectly timed, us perfectly exc cuted.
 The girl lay breathless in the arms of the man. her heart beating against his, her face buried in his shoulder. She was dazed, half fainting from the reaction of her fear. The next she remembered clearly was being lowered into the arms of her father.
 He held her tight, his face tortured with emotion. She was the very light of his soul, and she had shaved death by a hairs breadth. A miracle had saved her, but he would never forget the terror that had gripped him.
 The girl snuggled closer to him, her arms round his neck.
 A young man descended from the car, handsome. trim, and well got up. He had been tailored by the best mans

green pulp that had recently been treasury note.
 The father stammered his thanks to the rescuer of the girl. q cont know what I can ever do to let you know I don't know how I can ever pay you for saving
 Forget it " snapped the brown man curtly. He was an even-tempered youth, as genial and friendly as half grown pup, but just now the word pay" irpitated him as red ras does a sulky bull.
 If there's anything at all I can do for you"
 Not thing"
 The Nei Yorker felt that he was not expressing himself at all happily. What he wanted was to show this young fellow that he had put him un- der lifelong obligation he could nev CT hope to wipe out.
 If you ever come to New York"
 I'm not liable to go there l don't belong there any more than you do here. Better drift back to Tucson, stranger. Take fools advice and hit the trail for town pronto before you bump into more trouble"
 The rider swung round his pony and cantered back to the beef herd
 He left behind him a much-annoyed clubman, perplexed and distressed father, and a girl both hurt and in- dignant at his brusque rejection of her fathers friendly advances. The episode of the fifty-dollar bill had taken place entirely under cover. The man who had given the note and the one who had refused to accept it were the only ones who knew of 1t. The girl saw only that this splendid horseman who had snatched her from under the very feet of the ladino had shown q boor- ish dlscourtesy. The savor had gone out of her adventure. Her heart was sick with disappointment and indigna- tion

Johnnie was his slave, the echo of his opinions, the booster of his merits He asked no greater happiness than to trail in the wake of his friend and get kind word occasionally.
 The Runt had chosen as his Admir- able Crichton a most engaging youth. It never had been hard for any girl to look at Clay Lindsay. His sun tanned good looks, the warmth of his gay smile, the boise and the easy stride of him, made Lindsay marked man even in country where men of splen- did physique were no exception.
 His eyes now were watching the leap of the fire glow. The talk of New York had carried him bacl; to a night on the roundup three years before He was thinking about slim girl standing on sand spit with a wild steer rushing toward her, of her warm, slender body lying in his arms for five immortal seconds, of her dark, shy eyes shining out of the dusk at him like live coals. He remembered-and 1t hurt him to recall it-how his wounded pride had lashed out in resentment of the patron age of these New Ycrkers. The young CT man had insulted him, but he knew in his heart now that the girls father had meant nothing; of the kind. Of course the girl had forgotten him long since.
 Question is, could you land job in New York if you wanted one," ex- plained Stace to the dreamer.
 If it's neck meat or nothin' a fel- low can most always get somethin' to do," said Lindsay in the gentle voice he used The vague impulses of many days crystalized suddenly into a reso- lutiOn. Anyhow I'm goin' to try. Soon as the rodeo is over I'm goin' to hit the trail for the big town"
 "Tucson?" interpreted Johnnie dubi- ously.
 "New York"
 The bow-legged little puncher looked at his friend and gasped.
 Clay flashed on him the warm smile that endeared him to all his friends I'm goin' to ride down Broadway and shoot up the town, Johnnie Want to come along?"

CHAPTER |
A Street Twelve Miles Long.


 "I like yOre outfit" Red Hollister grumbled. You're nice boys, and good to yore mothers-what few of you ain't wore their gray hairs to the grave with yore frolicsome ways. You know yore business and you got a good cook. But I'm darned if I like this thing of two meals a day, one at quarter to twelve at night and the other T quarter past twelve, also and likewise at night"
 Reds grumbling was a pretense. He would not have been anywhere else for twice the pay. This was what he lived for
 Johnnie Green, commonly known as ''the Runt," helped himself to another flank steak. He was not much of a cow-hand, but when 1t came to eating Johnnie was always cOnscientiously on the job.
 "These here New Workers must be awful hardy" he ventured, apropos of nothing. Seems like they're night birds for fair. Never do go to led, far as l can make out. They tramp the streets all day and dance at them cab by-rets all night. My feet would be all wore out"
 Stace Wallis grinned. "So would my pocketboOk. I've heard tell how a fel- low can pay as high as four or five dollars for an eat at them places"
 Clay Lindsay laughed. You boys know lot about New York, just about as much as I do. I've read that guy can drop hundred dollars a night in cabaret if he has friend or two along, and never make ripple on Broadway"
 "Well, I read there's a street there twelve miles long. If fellow started at one end of that street with thirst he'd sure be salivated before he reached the other end of it," Stace said with grin.
 Wonder if a fellow could get a job there. They wouldn't be no use for a puncher, reckon" Slim drawled.
 'Betcha Clay could get a job all right" answered Johnnie Green promptly He'd be top hand any where, Clay would"
 Johnnie was the lost dog of the B-in-a-Box ranch. It was his nature to follow somebody and lick hi hand whenever it was permitted. The some- body he followed was Clay Lindsay.

CHAPTER II
Clay Appoints Himself chaperon.

As he travelled east Clay began to ing. He gave his spurs to Johnnie be- fore he left the ranch. At Tucson he shed his chaps and left them in care of q friend at the Longhorn corral. The six-gun with which he had shot rattlesnakes he packed into his suit case at Fl Paso. His wide-rimmed felt hat flew off while the head beneath 1t was stuck out of window of the coach somewhere south of Denver. Be- fore he passed under the Welcome arch in that city the silk kerchief had been removed from his brown neck and retired to the hip pocket which formerly held his forty-tive.
 The young cattleman began to flatter himself that nobody could now tell he was a wild man from the hills who had never been curried. He might have spared himself the illusion. The lightness of his stride, the breadth of the well-packed shoulders, the frank ness of the steady eyes, all advertised him as son of Arizona.
 It was just before noon at one of the small plains towns east of Denver that a girl got on the train and was taken by the porter to section back of Clay Lindsay. The man from Arizona mo- ticed that she was refreshingly pretty in an unsophisticated way.
 A little later he had chance to confirm this judgment, for the dining car manager seated her opposite him at table for two. When Clay handed her the menu card she murmured Thank you!" with rush of color to her cheeks and looked helplessly at the list in her hand. Quite plainly she was taking her first long journey.
 The COW puncher helped her fill the order card. She put herself entirely in his hands and was willing to eat what ever he suggested unbiased by prefer ences of her own.
 She was a round, soft, little person with constant intimations of a child hood not long Outgrown. During the course of lunch she conflded that her

outfitter in New York. Nobody on Broadway could order a dinner better than he. The latest dances he could do perfectly. He had the reputation of knowing exactly the best thing to say on every occasion. Now he proceeded to say it.
 "Corking bit of riding-never saw better. I'll give you my hand on that, my man."
 The cowpuncher found a bunch of manicured fingers in his rough, brown paw. He found something else, for after the pink nand had gone there remained a fifty-dollar bill. He looked at 1t helplessly for a moment; then, beneath the brown outdoor tan, a hush of anger beat into his face. Without a word he leaned forward and pressed the note into the mouth of the bronco.
 The buckskin knew its master for a very good friend. If he gave 1t some thing to eat--well, there was no harm in trying it once. The buckskin chewed placidly for few seconds, de cided that this was a practical joke, and ejected from Its mouth a slInIy

in itself, is not dangerous; tendency can be overcome if we are interested in overcoming it. But many people. not realizing what is the matter with their minds, let lazy thinking habits develop unchecked. The slipshod mind has always an excuse ready. It says. I'm too tired to work now. What I need is thorough rest to fit me for thinking. Tomorrow I shall be able to do this work easily" Sometimes the excuse is genuine, but we must be on our guard to see that the tired feeling really means overwOrk. We must be on the lookout for the idle brain that complains of being exhausted.

 q sent my photograph and the man. ager wrote back tLat my face was one hundred per cent perfect for the mOvies,' the girl explained. It was clear that she was expecting to be manufactured into a film star in a week or two.
 After they had finished eating, the range-rider turned ill at the smoking compartment and enjoyed a cigar. Hs fell into casual talk with an army offi- cer who had served in the Southwest. and it was three hours later when he returned to his own seat in the car.
 A hard-faced man in suit of checks more than a shade too loud was sit ting in the section beside the girl from Brush. He was making talk in an as- sured, familiar way, and the girl was listening to him shyly and yet eagerly. The man was variation of type
