'"The following day, when the sun
was high, we saw objects moving on
a distant ridge. At first we thought
it was a herd Of buffalo, but when
they came nearer we saw that a large
party of eros Ventres was approach
ing. They flashed mirrors into our
camp and made signs, daring us to
come out and fight. Our people
hurriedly prepared for battle. The
warriors marched out fully armed,
while our women followed carrying
additional powder and bullets. Scar
Cheek, the Black Robe, also came up
Oh the battlefield to encourage the
warriors and to help u wounded.
It was midday when we started to
fight, but the sun was setting before
the GrOs Ventres were in flight. We
followed them till dark, shooting
them down like buffalo and taking
their saclps. Sitting Woman, who
was their war chief, saved himself by

when it was known that three of
our leading young men were killed
there was mourning throughout the
entire camp. Our warriors held a
council and decided they would fol-
low and punish the eros Ventres.
Scar Cheek, the Black Robe, walked
through the camp admonishing the
people:
Black Robes Warming.
MY children, my heart is heavy
because these men were killed, and
it makes me sad to hear the women
mourning and to see them cutting
themselves. But 1 warn you not to
go to war against the wicked eros

TAFT
VARIATiON-Taff.
RACIAL ORIGiN-Welsh.
GnlIoGE

The origin of the family name OF
Taft and the less widely known form
of Taft is likely to prove a bit of
a mystery to those who know little
of Walsh names.
Both of these forms are develop
ments of Welsh origin, though from
a name which is nearly as old as the
Old Testament.
If you trace these names back to
their earlier use among the Welsh
you will find that they were preceded
by the usual "ap," signifying son
off, a prefix which, with the change
of the descriptive phrase into the
hereditary family name. has disap-
peared in modern times except where
It has been incorporated as part of
the name. ZAP Howell" of course.
easily became Powell" but ZAP Taft"
did not amalgamate SO easily, and the
course of least resistance was just to
drop the prefix.
Taft" or Taft" among the Welsh
was merely a form of the given name
of David. You can readily see that
a slight change in the sound of the
consonants in this name would give

Is a modern development.) And from
this the elision of the 'i'' readily
yielded the pronunciation Taft

left where it is a constant reminder of

No wonder the metal cup is so popu-

more appropriate as "A token of graft

sort, that it had its origin.
In the universities of Great Britain
the loving cup is still called the grace
cup For it was TO induce the Scots
to remain at the table for grace that
the famous Margaret Atheling passed
around among her guests, after grace
had been said, a cup filled with the
choicest wine. And today in England
the custom is still observed. the loving
cup taking its part at every city ban
quet or feast at the inns Of court.
After grace has been said the officials
drink to the guests and the cup is

CHAPTER MI
The Rocking-Ch Brigade.

TWO days after her arrival III
Shadow Valley Fay was the most
popular woman at the inn. Her name
was on every ones tongue, and opin-
ions of her varied.
The 'rocking-chair brigade" talked
about her while they knitted or work
ed on pieces of intricate embroidery.
And among these women. who for the
most part did nothing themselves and
therefore criticized every one else who
did anything. Mrs. Norris was promi-
nent.
II for no other reason than the fact
that she was Jacks mother, Mrs. Nor
ris did not approve of Fay.
'She certainly seems 10 be bearing
up we'll under her widowhood," she
remarked one morning when a group
of them were discussing Fay.
Yes" remarked a thin-lipped wom-
an named Mrs. Ramsey, "Elinor tells
me she's the most awful fiirt. Does
any one know how long her husband
has been dead?'
About two years" remarked some
one else. And then pointedly to Mrs.
Norris: You don't think Jacks seri-
ously interested, do you?"
Mrs. Norris flushed and protested
quickly. laughing with an attempt to
be casual.
Jack is never serious. He falls in
love every so often, and it doesn't
mean anything.
II wonder why men always make
such fools of themselves over woman
who has had some experience Mrs.
Ramsey remarked after a moment.
LAS a matter OF fact, ] don't think
Mrs Churchill is any prettier or better
dressed than any of the other girls
at the hotel. l know. for one thing
that Elinor felt that her wardrobe
was entirely adequate, but now she

Churchill's clothes seem to be the envy

who up to that time had not con-
tributed to the conversation. She had
no daughter who might be troubled by
Fay's charms, and no son who might
fall in love with the fascinating widow,
so that she could afford to speak the
truth. Besides" she went on, smil-
ing, Mrs. Churchill certainly knows
how to wear her clothes. There's a
dash about her. l love to see her
walk into the dining room. She's so
sure of herself"
"Of course she's sure of herself when
half the men in the place are in love
with her" snapped Mrs. Ramsey. She
was thinking of a scene that had
taken place between herself and Elinor
only last night. She had been lying
In bed propped up among pillows, and
was in the midst of an interesting new
novel, when Elinor had entered the
room and walked over to the bed.
Elinor was a pretty girl. save that
she had thin lips like her mother, and
a habit of drawing them into a
straight. hard line.

Quite forgetful Of himself and full
of the praise of his rival, John Alden
pleaded for his friend in his simple
but eloquent language.
He told of his bravery in battle
and how he had fought in Flanders
but later had chosen to come to
America with the Pilgrims. He spoke
OF his kindness and how during the
past Winter he had nursed the sick
as gently as any woman.
But as he warmed to his subject

that Churchill woman. She seems de-
terTnfned to vamp every man in the
place"
Until Fay's arrival Dick Preston had
paid Elinor Ramsey some little atten-
ton, but last night. very soon after
dinner, he had disappeared mysteri-
ously and later Elinor had ascertained
that he had taken Mrs. Churchill for
a moonlight ride in his car.
1T wouldn't be SO bad" Elinor had
confided to her mother, If she really
cared the least bit for Dick. She
doesn't. She treats all the men exact
ly alike, and Yet they're all ready and
willing TO let her make fools of them.
II Dick thinks I'm going to stand
around and wait for him 10 come back
10 me he's very much mistaken"
Elinor's indignant words sounded
wen, but in her heart of hearts she
knew that 10 wait around for Dick was
about all she could do, unless she per
suaded her mother TO leave Shadow
Valley.
