(Copyright.) | Tip Taylor never was much of &' hand at high finance. He took the con- tract to paint the D Bar windmill for five dollars, and used up six dollars’ worth of paint on the tower before ever he got as high as the wheel and | fan, All the Square Deal folks thought he 1 was due to lose, because he used such | a unchristian shade of blue. Windmills bein' about all the relief we git to the landscape thataway, we're kinder flnicky as to the color of | the same. This here Tip had been a cow-hand ! off and on all his lite, but he'd never | reached the point where he was one of the toppies yet, and he couldn't even make a livin' at it For, although he was a pretty fair rider, he was such a irresponsible cuss he’d never got no further than tendin’ the day herd and such like. So he took such jobs as paintin’ windmills to help out on the side. One evenin' in Christmas week I was loafin’ around the Strong Brothers' store when little Nettie Brockton was dispensin’ smiles and language sweet- er'n the sorghum substitute she sold, when Tip comes in. Nettie had been givin' Bud Regan cause to be glad he is livin' by her condescendin’ to talk to him Individ- ual for a few minutes, and he's leanin’ over the counter lookin' square in her eyes while from the other side she balances herself on the palms of her little hands, and about ever’ third word 1ifts her 90 pounds of pure sweet- ness close to Bud's face, Every time she does this he ketches his breath like a feller loopin’ the loop and swallers so I can hear him across the aisle. Tip walks up bold and puts both hands on Bud's shoulders, kinder leanin’ over him to talk to his damsel. “All the boys are in four bits on | a party at your house tonight, Net,” he says careless, “Oh, don't have it in my house,” says Nettie. “We can't danco there, you know." “We ain't particular about dancin’,” says Tip, reachin’ around in the show- case and helpin’ hisself to some co- coanut candy. “At least I shore ain’t if 1 can talk to you.” “All right,” says “Come ahead then.” 0Old Mrs, Couzens come in just then to buy a hank of red yarn, and as the boys walk out of the store I hear Tip | ask Bud for the loan of a dollar. “I'll let you have four bits,” says Bud, diggin’ up a 50-cent piece, “then I'll lose half and so will you,” which was 60, because Tip never charged nothin' but his memory with what he > Nettie pacified. owed, and that usually failed him. | Well, that night Tip was the only | feller there that had on regular party | him havin’ borrowed the best Poor Bud contributed the coat forl the occasion, and he had on a sorry lookin’ little cream-colored, summer flannel one hisself, that bein’ all he| had left. '? | His hair set up in front in a kind of a thick brush, and he had a real fool- when he laughed, caused altogether | for old Bud had plenty of sense. It blows up a norther about time for this here function to begin, and altho' ! Nettie has a good fire in the heater in | the north room where the party ls, Bud {s chilly, havin’ took off his wool | cow-punchin’ shirt and put on a cotton | one with that little flannel coat, so he sets over next to the stove, his | head back against the rough mnef partition, and listens to the others | talk. | After while Tip, who always keeps the ball a rollin’ at such places, gits up and proposes to play “Take Back What You Borrow,” and it took nerve for Tip to suggest that game, too! | Well, the boys all git their part- ners, and there never bein' enough | girls to go around in this western | country, and Bud bein’' timid, course be was one of the left-overs. Old Mrs. ‘ Brockton sails in about the time for | the game to begin, and sees him settin’ | there with his chair tilted back, | lookin' like he wasn’t enjoyin’ hisself. | “Come on, Bud," she says jolly, “I| ain't got no partner.” Course Bud bein’ crazy 'bout Nettie was powerful tickled to git a chance to please the old lady, so he starts | o | forward. A palned look comes over his face. | He leans back again and says he be- lleves he don't keer to play “Oh, come on,” says Mrs. Brockton, | holdin' out her hand friendly. Then Tip Taylor lets out his big, boisterous laugh, which calls every- body's attention to the fact that Bud’'s mop of hair has stuck to a pine knot which the heat from the stove has turned to soft resin so with one des- perate effort Bud pulls loose, leavin’ a lock of his hair stickin’ to the side of hollers Tip, dyin’ a “there’s Bud's scalp you can belt!” and Bud almost floor, knowin’ that of his plig to 1lous before Nettie and y near a month after that and Tip gits to be the tle Nettie resham, who owns taint and we let old Mankiller go, seddle, bridle and 2ll, for the time l“ in' The ladies bein’ on horses, galloped up and ask anxious if Tip is hurt bad, {ell but little Nettle Brockton. She tees and understends the whole per- formance for an has not hr-vn' watchin’ Tip ) “PBud,” she says in a trembly voice “oh 1d, did he bite you?' “No, ma'am,” says Bud, takin’ off his hat polite. “I held him so close he couldn’t.” Then I comes up, thinkin' to speak | a word of praise to the medal win " ner, but Nettie's back is turned and she don't see me so | hear her say low ‘Tud, t! thing T lika bet- ter th der. | His fe p with inte r"SL\ | while he s up int | adorir | It's a brave man,” she says, and t her | h e a pe the D Bar outfit, sends Tip and Bud | up to our ranch where we're roundin’ up, to git a bunch of strays that he's got there, Tip asks Nettie, and two girls from back East who are visitin’ her, to go along, knowin’ they can stay with my wife while there, and have a dance that night, returnin’ the next day. It wasu't but 32 miles, so they come. Now, on the way up to the Double Two, Tip gits to hurrahin’ Bud about them bein' rivals. “Let's just make her say which is the best man before we git back to Square Deal tomorrow,” he suggests to Bud, winkin' at the girls. Course Bud, havin' no self-confi- dence, hates to see it come to a test that-a-way, him bain' willin’ to take what treatment she gives him and thank you, too. But Tip insists om a show-down and at last Nettie lays down the rules of the contest. “What 1 really Bike,” she says, “is good ridin’. The best rider is the best man with me.” “I'm afraid that lets me out,” says Bud, duckin' his head to one side. “Tip’'ll ride any outlaw you can put up, and I'm afraid to set on the fence and watch ‘e pitch, They got here just in time for din- ner and the chuck wagon was drawed up by the side of the barn and sheds. Tip was just goin' to pot for his fourth helpin' of trijoles, him havin' a noble appetite, when he thinks of his rival. “Where's Bud?" he asks. ‘“Oh, there he is!” he says, “settin’ on the grind- stone to sharpen his appetite. Eat hearty, Bud,” he calls out, “we've got them stunts to pull off after while.” “I ain't hungry,” says Bud. “I'm just feelin’ real common today.” That makes Tip pretty near fall in the camy-fire langhin’, and he looks at Nettie, and nods his head towards | | Bud, then stomps his foot and laughs some more, though she don’t take no notice of him at all. And of o!l the wild and reckless stunts Tip does ‘em that afternoon, whilst Bud does all the work they're both sent to do, cuttin’ old man Gresh- am's stock out of the herd, and after- wards pennin' ‘em fer the night. About the time they had finished brandin’ the last calf in the bunch we had sold, old Mankiller come up to the trough for water, 4 Those old horses go several days without liquid refreshment in the win- ter because they're too blamed lazy to walk the three or four miles to git it. This horse must have been pretty thirsty, for he's a old wolf that's killed two men and is so wild he won't usu- ally come up where humans are. The notlon strikes Tip Taylor to ride him and, in spite of the outlaw’s pawin' and bitin’, Tip has roped him and got a saddle on him in less time that it would tuke to tell how he done ft. He wasn't even satisfied with that, for with all of us lookin' on, and the women sereamin’ and beggin’ him to glt off, his daredevil spirit s aroused right. 2 Along comes a wild hog out from the shinnery just as Tip's castin’ around for gomething more reckless to do, and thig here fool slams his rope on the “javelina’ Well, if the thing had been excitin' | before, it was plumb perilous now! That hog drove his tushes in the ground, and jerked, and fought, and old Mankiller begins to bite the rope, and right in the midst of it all the horse gives a sudden turn so the rope. which of course 1s fastened to the sad- dle horn, gits stretched across Tip's leg and begins to cut down into the flesh. You could see the boy begin to git white and sick, for that grass rope was grindin’ into his leg, and the hog was holdin’ it tight at one end whilst old Mankiller plunged and couldn’t be turned. About 15 cow-punchers stood help- less while the women stopped sereamin’ and everybody seemed to hold their breath for an Instant. Then through the air flew a pair of tringed leather leggin's and the man in 'em covered the space between us and Tip In just exactly nothing. We saw a pair of arms grapple with that old man-eater’'s snarlin’, bitin’ head and, when it was tucked between his right arm and pressed tight to his side, he goes in his pocket with his de® hand and rips out a knife, which pens vith this teeth and cuts the rope right at the saddlc -horn Ju-: ns we run up.

The modern, thrifty housewife plans her mcals so as to secure the best diet for her family. During the hot months heat-producing foods—-fats, sugar, starches, heavy puddings and ples and fricd things should not be eaten, but rother those which are easily di- gested and cooling to the blcod. The business In which the bread- winner of the family is engaged must | be considered when planning the meals. The man or woman ieading a sedentary life requires foods easy of digestion and assimilation. This class of people does not require as: much food as that engaged in muscu- | lar labor. The latter class needs heav-' fer meals, but these should be less bur- ‘ densome than in winter. | For both classes too much cannot be said about masticating one's food. ! The teeth were made for this purpose | and many ills would disappear if food was not bolted into the stomach, which ' is too often overtaxed. Salads rich with mayonnaise or boiled dressing should never appear at dinner, but be served for luncheon i or supper. Green or fresh vcgotable' salads with a simple oil and vinegar dressing are the proper thing for din-' ner at all seasons. Potatoes can be eliminated from the menu some days ' and in thelr place substitute macaront, | rice, hominy, beans, peas and other starchy vegetables—Woman's World.l T | Shift Your Gears! If T were going to attempt a sermon | (and who docs” ot feel himself capa- | ble of at least w couple?) my Ilrst‘ text should be upon the theme: Shift- ing Gears.
