They now found themselves very much con-
cerned with the recovery Of this boy whom,
only a day before, they had considered an
enemy.
Jack held out hand. I'm sure glad you
fellows found me-" he said gratefully. Il guess
I was just about done for.
Then, over the protests Of the doctor. he told
how he had become lost the night before while
wandering in the woods. He had not been
alarmed at first, and had really considered It
lark, feeling sure that he would get back
to the cabin eventually. But after spending
a night in the open, he was tired and hungry
and worried
Then IN the morning he found the railway
track, and decided his best chance was TO
follow 1t down the mountain. He was doing
that when he came upon the snakes, and he
was stung by one before he realised his danger
lacks knowledge Of the woods was ru6-
- mentary, but he understood the danger Of
q rattlesnake bite, and he knew from his read
ing what he had to do II his life Was 10 be
saved Therefore after cutting the wound and
sucking it, he fashioned the tourniquet from
his shirt, and then fred all the cartridges In
his gun in the hope that It might attract his
fathers attention.
If I'd had any sense, I'd have thought Of
that the night before" he pointed out when
did think Of 1t 1t was too late"
The doctor broke IN here, and refused to
allow Jack to talk any longer. He had . small
private hospital In connection with his ONCE
and Jack was put to bed there for rest and
attention until all danger from the snake bite
was over.
The next event of importance was the re-
turn Of the searching party, and Mr.. Cuttings
immediate visit to his sons bedside. Then
Mr. Cutting sent word that he wanted to see

and Mr.. Cutting continued:
But guess you have earned the right to

I'm going to have one of the mechanics come
up and check it over, to see that It has good
brakes and Is as safe as possible. And I'm
going to have q section gang check over the

can ride to your hearts content. That's not

"But you don't need to feel grateful to US. It

Perry and Bill clung for dear life to
the rocking, swaying handcar, while
they pressed down on their makeshift
brakes with all their might
The two-by- fours we're smoking with the
friction of the wheels but still the speed Of
the car increased. And the steepest part OF
the grade was just before them.
If we get around that next turn, we'll be
all right" shouted Perry above the roar Of the
wind. There aren't any more bad ones, and
the grade f1attens out from there on"
Bill nodded, his teeth clenched. Tensely
they watched the track ahead, until it made
them dizzy by the speed with which it slipped
under the car. Then, suddenly, as with one
voice, the two boys uttered yells Of fear.
Not hundred feet ahead Of them q small
deer, such as was commonly seen on the noun
TAIN bounded down from q bank above the
rails, stopped for a moment in the ditch, then
climbed to the track. 1t stood there, facing
downgrade, its white flag directly in the path
of the onrushing handcar.
II they hit that deer they were done
for. At their speed, the slightest mishap would
send them hurting of the track and crashing
down the steep bank beside the right OF way.

track, but the usually timid animal had evi-
IDENTIFY not seen the monster rushing down
upon it. Perry and Bill steeled themselves
for the crash. The handcar, roaring along
almost at express train speed, was within 10
feet Of the animal And then, with one grace
full bound, it leaped from the track paused,
saw the handcar and went crashing of through
tho brush.
Two pale, trembling boys clung to the hand
car as 1t hurtled around that last bad curve.
Bills arms shook so that he could hardly
maintain his pressure on the brake. But
they negotiated the turn safely, and ahead
Of them stretched the gentler grade With q
few easy turns which took them past the
Jameson pasture and on to the station.
''Whew!" Perry uttered q long whistle Of
relief, and shifted the unconscious body Of
Jack Cutting into a more comfortable position.
Bill took one hand of the brake long enough
to mop the perspiration from his brow.
I'VE are slowing down q little" he pointed
out II think I'll take the brake Of and We
can coast clear down to the station
Perry nodded and Bill released the brake.
They picked up speed, but the gentleness Of
the grade allowed them to coast At comfort

of the town and up to the station.

THEY had hardly stopped the car when an
! excited group Of men gathered around,
gazing at the unconscious form Of Jack and
asking excited questions. It took the boys but
. moment to explain the situation, and immedi-
ately two men picked Jack up and hurried
him across the street to a doctors Office. Perry
and Bill followed as soon as they could get
away from the excited crowd.
Somebody ought to go up the mountain and
tell his dad we found him." Perry suggested,
and two men at once set of in a car to call
back the search party.
When Perry and Bill reached the doctors
Office they found Jack lying on q couch. He
had recovered consciousness, and smiled feebly
at them when they entered. The doctor had
already heard the story, and he turned to
them As soon as they entered.
"He's going to be all right, thanks to your
fast work, boys" he said. Hell have q mighty
sore leg for few days, but not enough Of the

GOOD TASTE TO-DAY
By EMILY POST,
Famous Authority on Etiquette.

! dealer about these He showed me the
photograph of a rather pretty bracket,
with slender candles that he could order,
but the price was very much too high
for us. He also pointed out that an
other reason why none of the fixtures
he carried had slender candles is that
the little bulbs burn out too quickly to
be practical.
$50, dear Mrs. Post, will you please
tell me what you think? We might
have him order just one pair for the
parlor and wait until We can afford to
get the two other pairs for the dining
room. But IL the little bulbs have to
be replaced, almost as often as lighted,
am beginning to wish we had not put
IN wiring for wall brackets at all, even
though candles were perfect nuisance" !"
In answer, must /agree that lighting
fixtures in best taste, at a reasonable
price, are not easy to find, and that
gigantic church candles, cut into short,
fat chunks, are utterly out Of scale with
any fixture that can belong in Colonial
house. But If you want to order that
one pair of side lights, I can at least
reassure you about the utility of the
small flame shaped 25-watt bulbs, since
some of them are lighted In my own
house every evening and half dozen
little bulbs last me from two to three
years! On the other hand, would not
be inclined to pay SO much for one pair
