CHAPTER vi.
The Old Cinnabar.


Daddy, here is a man I found down
at the head of Antelope gulch; he
had lost his way, so l brought him
home with me-" was the simple man
ner in which she launched me; and
l found myself shaking hands with
an elderly man who looked as if he
might be a farmer, or a miner, or
something of that nature-you will
know what I mean-flannel shirt,
trousers tucked into boots, irOn-gray
whiSkerS all over his face, an eye as
mild as a collie dogs.
You done plum right, Jeanie,'' he
remarked; and then to me: Come
right on in, stranger, and be at home
If You don't see what you want, ask
for it," After which he went to take
care of the piebald pony.
The log cabin proved to be primitive
only on the outside. The interior was
a dream Of coy LONELINESS. A hang
ing lamp lighted it, and in it's mild
glow 1 had my first real look at the
girl.
She wasn't beautiful in any show
girl meaning of the word; she was
l.
ing. A round little face, wind-tanned
to a tint as delicious as the blush in
the heart of an apple-blOssOm. a jolly
bit of nose, tip-tilted enough to be-
speak a healthy sense of humOr,
mouth neither too large nor too small
upheld by a firm, round chin, and the
chin upheld by an extra firm little jaw
As she had admitted, her eyes were
blue-the blue that shades into violet
and they were well-set; wide apart
and perfectly fearless; the kind of
eyes fit to match the Straight-lined
brows that usually go with them.
I sat before the cheerful blaze,
chuckling quietly to myself over the
mad adventures of the day and their
highly romantic, not to say miraculous,
outcome. Beyond all manner of doubt 1
had stumbled upon the three tails
mans of Cousin Percy's cryptic letter
BY the most marvellous of accidents
had discovered the girl, the horse
and the dog; and, if the remainder of
Percy's letter were to be taken at
It's face value. 1 should now be in
touch with my legacy.
As to the character of that legacy.
there could be no further question.
Jasper had left me
nine; and 1 was fully prepared TO

story. What / might be able to make

Applicants for Insurance Often

Judging from reports from druE-istr

the public, there Is one preparation that

its remarkable record of success
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies. iu
an interview on the subject, made the as-
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are res
jected Is because kidney trouble is SCI
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose appEea-
lions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.

The Girl, a Horse
and a Dog

There it was, you see: THE MINE
Pardon me-" 1 blurted out; "but
would you mind telling me if your eyes

She spoke to her pony and we went
on. Ahead of US and diagonally up
steep slope I could see the dim shapes
of number of buildings, all dark.
Then we came to a great dump, look
ing as if the mountain had at one
time opened to pour out a cataract of
broken stone.
Beyond the dump there was another
building with light in it :. and as the
dog ran ahead of US. barking. the fig

panton to me. Then she "hoo-hOo-ed"
to the man in the doorway
and slipped out Of her saddle, letting
her pony stand while she led me across
TO the lighted, log-built cabin.

l reached this postponing conclusion,
the girls father came in, drew up
chair on the opposite side of the
hearth. and began TO make me well

that they didn't have much company,
and were always master" glad TO see
new face. He did not ask me any
troublesome questions; and beyond
telling me his name, which was Hiram
Twombly, did not volunteer any in
formation about himself or his daugh-
ter, nor did he explain how they came
to be living in so much comparative
comfort in such an out-of-the-way
place.

She blushed very fetchingly; even
the handsome mountain wind tan
wasn't brown enough to hide it.

Certainly I am; there hasn't been
the slightest doubt of it since-welI.
since about two weeks ago, when l
started to hunt for you and a pie

There was silence before the fire
for a long minute and l began TO be
afraid Daddy Hiram would come back
before anything else happened. Then
she said. with more curiosity than re-
sentiment, 1 thought:
''How did you know about the

"Then there is one?" I questioned
eagerly.
"Y-yes"

1t was just at this moment that her
father returned, so she went on with
her sock-knitting while we two men
talked a bit and had a bedtime smoke.

PIG IRONS BASIC PRODUCTS
Metal Sold in Three Forms-Cast
Wrought and Steel-One of Most
Valuable Minerals.

Iron is the most valuable metal in
the world TO man, because il is of
more use in more ways.
1t has been known to men from earli-
est times. Savages smelted il. It is
generally found compounded with other
substances such as carbon. These
other substances have to be burned
out in order TO have pure iron.
Iron is sold in three forms-caSt
iron, wrought iron. and steel. Cast
iron is brittle and hard, like the lid
on the kitchen range. Wrought iron
can be hammered out fiat or made into
wire or welded. 1t is quite soft. Steel
is also capable of being hammered
out fiat and welded. Its peculiar prop
erty is that when tempered it be
comes very hard-so hard that sharp
edge can be put on it-sO hard that it
WILL when edged, cut wrought iron.
Iron which has been melted and
poured into mold in some form de-
sired for use. such as part of a stove,
is called cast iron. Iron which IS cast
roughly from the smelted ore in order
to be used to make cast iron. wrought
iron or steel is called pig iron.
Pudding is the name of the process
by which pig iron is made into wrought
iron. It is done in furnace in which
the carbon is burned from the pig
iron.
Pig iron contains the most carbon,
then comes steel and then wrought
iron.
Steel can be made directly from pig
iron by what is known as the BeSsemer
and Open-hearth processes. Formerly
it was made from wrought iron.

Birds and Cyclones.

One naturalist has expressed the
opinion that birds habitually make use
of storms in travelling from one part
of their range to another. He points
out that if bird cannot find shelter,
it must be more comfortable on the
wing than on the ground during
storm, because in the fiercest gales
the air, as a mass, is at rest; that is.
the bird is in a moving. supporting
medium, like swimmer in a strongly,
flowing river.

The Healthy Eskimo.

1t is said that the Eskimos Of the
remotest north are the healthiest peo-
pie you can find anywhere. Contact
with white folks has. however,
brought deterioration and demoraliza-
ton. The influence of civilization has
been bad. and may be worse; it may
even result in the extinction of the
hardy race Only when they are left
wholly to their own devices are the
Eskimos healthy, and this is indeed
remarkable, for their devices are few
and the hardships of their lives are
many.

Don't Neglect Eyes.

The majority of people do not care
for their eyes as they should The
eye is TOO delicate an organ TO be
subjected TO haphazard treatment. A
sudden change from very bright
light to darkness should be avoided
and, if the eyes are at all weak, the
prevailing color in the room in which
such a one spends much time, should
be in some tint that is soothing and
restful to the eyes.-Detroit NewA

orinin Of weddlnn Cake

The wedding cake dates back to the
laws of Romulus and the early days
of Rome. Instead OF elaborate mar
riage festivals Romulus instituted the
confarreatio. The union of the man
and woman was solemnized simply
and quickly by the eating of a loaf OF
barley bread together. This marriage
ceremony was in force for some gen
erations among the Romans. Then.
as civilization developed, the barley
bread became a cake
