with a grunt and closed his eyes.
Presently he stiffened will and body
together and got his shirt open. He
had lost lot of blood that he could
not afford to lose. The wound was
through his side, down low through
the lower ribs. Lucky, he judged,
that he hadn't already bled to death.
Without getting up he ripped off
his shirt and with badly shaking
hands contrived bandage of sorts.
Then, half swooning, he sat for
long time, feeling light headed yet
as grim of determination as he al
ways was to get the better of bad
deal. Finally he rose and made his
way like drunken man to the door
opening upon the old Spanish patio
whence he could look down to the
cottonwood grove just beyond which
the outbuildings were. He saw
faint smudge of smoke above the
tree tops. He filled his lungs and
tried to yell; he snorted, though fee
bly,, in disgust at the result. He
dragged out his guns; there was
shot left in one, two in the other.
He fired all three shots, spacing
them, and lei the guns slip out of
his hands. ThSn he sat down on the
old green bep.h to wait. Though
the earlier shots had evidently gone
unheard, the distance now was less
and the hour later, and he had
hopes.
It was one of his Mexican hands,
young Gaucho Orisga, who came
slouching up the slope, wondering
what was afoot, and found him.
For the love of God!" cried the
boy in his native tongue.
Old Bill licked his lips and beck
oned the boy closer.
Get on horse, Gaucho," he said
thickly, land ride into town. Tell
Doc Joe I want him real bad. Now,

When removing good buttons
from wornout overalls, cut about
two inches of the surrounding
cloth with the button. This can
be used on other overalls where
the button has been pulled out
the button and patch are in one
piece.
A little salt added to the last

from freezing on the line.
If fruit pie runs out in the
oven, sprinkle salt over the spilled
juice and the oven will not become
filled with smoke.
To oil a door lock, dip key into
oil and turn several times in lock.
When liquid glue has hardened
so as to be unfit for use, try soft
ening it with a bit of hot vinegar,
just little at time.
Dip the knot on the end of that
new halter rope in glue and let it
dry a few days before you use it,
and you won't have any trouble
keeping the knot in it. Better use

CREENER FIELDS

II is truer Of marriage than of:
almost anything else, hat an
others lot inevitably seems bet
ter than ones o,cn. The distant
fields, you kno,c, always look
greener. At close range they
rarely are better and frequently
are far rcorse. Phyllis Taylor is
regarding the prospect Of divorce
and re-marriage from the safe
distance OF domestic security.
And Kathleen Norris, a,vare of
the pitfalls of change, urges her

ly knew what was going on. But I
did refuse any capitulation until I
could think it all out and decide
what was fair. I felt then that our
feeling, because of its very violence,
might be short-lived, but today it
is stronger than ever. David wants
me to get divorce, bring my chill
dren to his lonely house, and create
for US all real home again. His
little girls are darlings, and although
l do not see them much, I know
they are ready to love me. David
is devoted to my boys, so that the
only sufferer in this whole case
would be Jack, who has no idea of
the situation.
IF l should force myself to be
strong enough to sacrifice my own
feeling in this matter, l lapse back
into the loneliness and stupidity of
my old life. I also sacrifice the love
of the finest man have ever known.
l rob his daughters of a mother, a
woman's influence in the years when
they most need it, and l deprive
my sons of what is a step up in the
social and economic scale. David
talks of their college careers, prom
ises them circuses and bicycles,
and has already won their small
hearts.
as it wise, is it right, to give up
the immediate and great happiness
of all of us, merely because this will
be a real blow to Jack? Of course
it will! He has been taking home,
wife, hot dinner, sons, love and con-
sideration for granted; isn't it about
time he walked up? His sister is
married to his partner in the firm;
the natural thing would be for him
to live there; he could see the boys
whenever he liked, there would be
no unpleasantness and-but l hard

Won't Face the Truth.
Poor Phyllis, having failed to work
out personal happiness from the
rich store of gifts life has already
given her, she is as confident as a
child of three that unlimited candy
and being allowed to stay up late
will be all her heart desires! She
doesn't realize the tremendous fight
that Jack would put up for his sons;
the unpleaSantness of it. She doesn't
stop to think of the opinion of her
friends; the instant sympathy that
would turn to Jack. the criticism of
her. She won't face the simple
truth that every woman knows in
her heart, that this ecstatic flame
that is devouring her has a very
unstable base of physical passion
and flattered vanity. Nature is man.
aging the hunger part, that is her
business, none of us would be here
if it wasn't, and David is supplying
the sugar coating. And oh, how
sweet flattery is, when it comes in
the low voice of an adoring male!
Phyllis must be bewitched indeed

broke up his home; woman after
