 Bishop glared at him; then shrugging heavily, he took up the pen and sat down at the table. In an unsteady hand he wrote that summons to his officers. Blood dispatched it ashore then bade his unwilling guest to table. IsW

 You fool" his lordship said. Do you dream that I came aboard your pirate ship without takink my meas ures? I informed the Commandant of exactly how, you had compelled Colonel Bishop to accompany you. Judge now whether you will be allowed to depart as you imagine"

UTILIZING COLORED PRINTS

Old French or Spanish prints may be used to make a fascinating screen. The background is of heavy natural colored linen and the prints, three on each side, are pasted on. To hold them together and give the effect of design there are decorative motifs stencilled in colors Godey prints are used in the same way

FINDS FRANCE SELF-CENTERED French Travel Less Than Other People
 And Read Less Foreign Books


 Frenchmen notoriously travel less than other people. realize that the educative advantages of foreign travel are greatly Overestimated, and that a man with a suburban mind will get suburban view of-the world even if he continues to wander round it for the best part of his life.
 But it can hardly be denied that a nation which habitually keeps itself to itself is in serious danger of be- coming one eyed and lop minded.
 Fewer foreign plays are performed in Paris than in any capital city in Europe. I doubt whether English books are read in France to the extent to which French books are read in Eng land. l should say that for every Frenchman who reads Shakespeare there are ten Englishmen, who read Balzac.
 Anatole France, who acknowledged recently that he had never read a book by Mir. Hardy, is completely translated into English, but how many English authors of his, or greater, eminence,. are completely translated into French? When a Frenchman set out to col lect pictures it is fairly certain that his collection will be exclusively na- tional. I heard the other day of a distinguished Frenchwoman who de- clined to visit an exhibition of pie lures because they were not by French artists She is not eccentric in France. When l reflect on that singular be- havior 1 remember with pride that Staats Forbes collected seventy Corots, and that Queen Victoria almost bought one St. John Ervine in the Observer, London.

written, we equally sin in writing
 letters which we should not have
 written. Chief among these is the
 blue letter, and herein women are
 the great, offenders.
 There are women whose letters make the Lamentations of Jeremiah read like a merry wheeze. And when you get one of their epistles you feel like talk ing dose of Rough on Rats? and get ting out of world that has got noth- ing in it but afflictions. They literal ly comb their community for horrors, and there isn't case of sickness or broken nose or bankruptcy or sean dal or anything unpleasant that they do not retail for your benefit. And they always wind up by telling you that they don't think they will live long, and that they pine for your so- ciety in their departing days.
 Such letters take all of the heart out of you. They break down your morale, and when they come to one who is already staggering along un- der all the load that he or she can bear, they are nothing less than a crime Somehow the written word has far more weight than the spoken word, and no letter should ever be sent that does not carry with it message of cheer and hope.

We Women
A Mothers Love

VOLUMES have been written about a mothers love. Song and story
 have heralded a mothers devotion, and painters and sculptors have put this love into impershable evidence. It has been accepted, even demanded. A wom- an should have no other interests, ac- cording to some menI outside of her home. q6
 About a year ago a woman now 31 years old was left widow with four children: Mary now aged IF. Agnes 10, John z, and 10-months-old baby girl, born shortly after the death of her hus- band.
 The mother placed the three oldest children in an orphan assylum where she supported them She kept the baby with her. She supported herself and family by working in tuberculosis sanitarium. Doctors there told her it was no place for a baby. The mother agreed but there was no alternative for her. She had to work and she had no place to leave her small baby.
 A German doctors assistant adver- tised for a child. to adopt. His baby daughter had died in Germany, where his wife and mother are now ill. He was lonely and sought happiness through little child.
 The mans advertisement was an- swered by the mother of four. She sold her baby for $50 down, $250 to be paid her later. tseW
 The police. authorities heard of the unusual transaction and the real mother and foster father were put in jail charged with "endangering the life and health of a minor.' A sinister motive was read into the adoption by the man. Although the baby showed every sign of loving care and proper nutrition when taken from the arms of the would-be father three days after the transaction, yet the police insisted that the man, a doctors assistant, intended to use the child for vive-section pur- poses. The mother was accused of ayarice-no real mother, according to authorities, would sell her baby

 Peter Blood made. his way through the house to the wide piazza behind it, in whose shade were Colonel Bishop and my Lord Julian Wade.
 q have sent for you, Captain Blood, because of certain news that has just reached me-" the deputy governor said. "I am informed that yesterday evening frigate left the harbor having on board your associate Wolverstone and hundred men of the hundred and fifty that were serving under you. His lordship and shall be glad to have your explanation of how you came to permit that departure
 ''Permit?p quoth Blood. "1 ordered it."
 "Swounds whither has Wolver- stone gone?"
 "To Tortuga. He's gone with a mes sage to the officers commanding the other four ships of the fleet that is awaiting me there, telling them what's happened and why they are no longer to expect me"
 You hear that, my lord? Deliberate ly he has let Wolverstone loose upon the seas again-Wolverstone, the worst of all that gang of pirates after him self. It's treason! It's matter for a court-martial." t.
 Will you cease your blather of trea- son and court martial?" Blood put on his hat. and sat down unbidden. Il have sent Wolverstone to inform flag thorpe and Christian and Yberville and the rest of my lads to quit piracy or sail out of the Caribbean sea-, That's what I've done"
 Colonel Bishop beloved his protest, but Lord Julian was more conciliatory.
 Ut is possible" Lord Julian ad- mitted, that my Lord Sunderland will be satisfied, provided that the solution is. as you promise. Speaking on behalf of my Lord Sunderland, l am content to await the result of your expert ment."
 Are you, indeed?'' Bishop roared. Well then, I am not"
 Then I'll be wishing ye both a very good day" Blood swept off his feather ed hat, and made them leg very elegantly.

The only way to write safe love let ter is to keep it on the ice for twenty four hours after you have written it. Then it never will beas sent.
 The moral of all of which is that we should write plenty of letters, but we should write each letter as if it were one day likely to be read aloud in court.

Ny Neighbor Says

Immediately after ink has been split take a sponge and mop up as much of it as possible. Have two bowls containing clear cold water beside you. the one|to squeeze the inky sponge into, the other to dip it into when cleaned. Continue soaking the soiled spot with clean water un- til as much ink as possible is re- moved. If the stain is persistent apply to it little oxalic acid or salts of serrel, or even weak solu- tion of ammonia. You will find that those prompt remedies will prevent very nasty stain.

We make the letters that we receive the little graceful note of apprecia- ton, the prompt letter of thanks for gift, or some courtesy-a test of breed ing, but we fall under our own con demnation by deferring the hated task of putting pen to paper, or emitting to do it altogether.
 The very hallmark of culture is the ability to write a charming letter, yet we let our children grow up in abso- lute ignorance of how to do it.
 These sins are heavy on our heads, but the greatest sin of omission ate all is committed by men who have grown so case hardened in their self-indul- gence in doing only the things they en- joy doing, that they never write back to their old parents at all. It seems incredible, but there are otherwise de- cent men who from years end to years end never take the trouble to write a real, warm, loving, personal letter to the mothers who bore them.
 -- Sometimes they do not write at all. Sometimes they occasionally dictate a formal, cold, likeness note through their secretaries. Generally they delegate the task to their wives, as if any mother wanted to hear from her own child drought a third party, and in a duty letter, to boot.

MONTANA CATTLE IS
SHIPPED TO SPOKANE

Ten cars of western Montana
steers, the biggest shipment from
one shipper to Spokane in recent
months, were sold on the Spokane
Union stOckyard Thursday by Will
lam Huntley, chairman of the board
of the Exchange National bank. The
shipment included 259 head and sold
for 1926 per 100 pounds.
Armour & Co. purchased 181 head
and. ~.Carstens 78. Mr. Huntley ex-
pressed himself as well satisfied with
the Spokane market. The shipment
was originally destined for Portland,
but with the feeding -in-transit priv
ilege, Mr.. Huntley unloaded them at
the Spokane yards yesterday morn
ing. Buyers for the two packers i'm
mediately bid on them and offered a
price thatswOuld have made shipment
to Portland not nearly so profitable
The steers were driven from the
ranch of the Huntley Cattle company
at Wisdom, Mont, to Divide, where
they were loaded on the Northern
Pacific. They had a quick run to
Spokane and were unloaded there in
prime condition. The cattle virtually
constituted a trainload. Western
Montana stockmen are expected tc
send many Of their spring offerings
to Spokane.
1t is thought that prime cattl,
raised in Gallatin county, as well a:
in eastern and other section Of
southcentral Montana may be profit
ably shipped to Spokane. However
conditions should be just right, an
the shipper should, if possible, mak'
arrangements in advance so as Il
! secure himself against a sharp de
cline in price which may occur abou
the time of arrival of the cattle q
market.
