(Copyright, 1914, by the McClure Newspa- | per Syndicate.) Over to the westward lay the ser- rated ranges of the Sweetwater moun- tains. In the foreground was a green and fertile valley through which trick- led a silver stream. Helen Madison, sitting on her sturdy little pony, climbed to the top hill and looked down into ¥. looked across the valley, looked everywhere save into the face of the strong, brown young man who was waiting for her to speak. “Helen,” he said at last, and his voice was stern. “Yes?” She turned a cold face to his. There was no fire in her dark ' eyes, no love—nothing. Save, per haps, disdain and indifference. “You have not forgiven me?”’ he asked slowly. “There is nothing to forgive. You | are free to choose your own way—I gave back your freedom last night.” | “I know—I did not believe that you would throw me over just because I wanted to make this venture with Dickman; I have invested every penny in that abandoned mine, but I have ! faith in its development, though it ! is a hazardous undertaking in more | “I was satisfied to marry you and settle down on the ranch with you,” said Helen obstinately. How could she explain to Dan Summer that her hurt lay in the fact that he was will- ing to postpone their wedding in order to speculate in the old Mizpah mine in the hove of getting a fortune out of it? D.n would never know why she had refused to countenance his going—nor why they had quar- reled. “I know—dear, 1 know,” he sald, smiling tenderly at her averted face. “But I have made the venture—the die is cast—yet you will not forgive me, you will not wait? “It is too late,” she said. “Then, it is good-by ?" “It is good-by." She did not turn her head as ho rode down the hill. \WVhen he had disappeared from view she shook her shoulders and breathed d~eply. “Oh, it's good to be free!" sho cried, de- | voutly. “Pretty lady so glad—heap cry,” sald a dry volce at her elbow. Helen turned quickly and saw the squatty form of a demure little In- dian squaw astride a ragged pony. “You frightened me!’ she cried with an unsteady laugh. “How, Gray Feather?” “How?” saluted Gray Feather sol- emnly. “Oh, you have papoose with you! Do let me see him!" cried Helen, touching the bundle on Gray Feath- er's back. | Gray Feather swung the cradle around to her arms and uncovervd‘ the sleeping face of the dark-skinned Indian baby. “Him grand papoose,” she smiled fondly. “Have you named him yet?” asked Helen, touching the little fingers. Gray Feather grunted response. “What do you call him? Strong Arm, like his big father?” “No—my man no want papoose called Strong Arm; so we name him for big, kind man who save my man's life one day. Indian love white broth- er, Dan Summer, name papoose—Dan Summertime—he always smile like big white brother—so! “You send away white brother?” asked Gray Feather softly. “No—he went because he liked to dig in a horrid old mine better than he loves me!"” burst out the girl im- petuously. “Indians say there is much gold in Mizpah mine,” said Gray Feather thoughtfully. “Him go away—mad?” “Yes—that is—I was angry with him. I—I hate him!" “I hated my man once,” sald Gray Feather gravely. “Long ago before he take me for squaw. He go away on hunt; I say, ‘stay;’ he laugh and say ‘go to wigwam little squaw-to-be; men must hunt for food.” My man he lose himself on hunt that time—me al- most dle for sorrow; then I go and walk and walk and trail step by step for three days and nights till at last I find him, hurt, most dead for thirst. Me drag him ten miles to home! You will go after big white brother —and tell him leetle papoose Dan Summertime send him kees good-by?” she asked bluntly. “Yes, Gray Feather, I will take the kiss to him,” cried Helen radiantly. She leaned over and kissed the un- winking baby, and then pressed her lips on Gray Feather's cheek. “I shall love you always, Gray Feath- er!” she whispered softly, as she shook the reins and started her pony into action. “Good-by, white sister!” waved Gray Feather as Helen rode away. “Don’'t kees!” | And the rosy glow that bathed Helen's face was not the reflection of forget Dan Summertime the sunset. IDEAS IN THE NEW STOCKS Satin Collar and Cuff Sets Perhaps More Predominant Than Any of More Recent Styles. Satin collar and cuff sets are con- sidered among the smartest effects. In some of the high-class models both in the back to suggest the Medici. Flesh-colored satin sets are particu- larly smart. Satin, however, finds its greatest em- ployment in the new ultra-high closed stocks. These are shown in black and in white or in black and white combi- uations, with severe tabs in the front, somctimes combined with fan plaits in the back. Perhaps the most interesting thing of all is the odd way in which these new stocks are worn. In days gone by their use was limited largely to a closed neck shirt or a severe tailored blouse. Now, however, they are worn with various V-neck waists, simply fastened around the neck, leaving the V portion bare. Thus the stock is rendered equally adaptable either for the collar and the cuffs are in unique ; points. The collar portion is “rd\ Just Complaint. The feelings of the coal heaver of the following story, as given in Tit- Bits, had sufficient cause to be ruf- fled: “Li.m." he expostulated, “don’t I al- ways tell you I won't 'ave the kids , bringin® in the coals from the shed in my best 'at?” “Oh, just ‘ave sense,” replied his wife. “You've spoiled the shape of that ‘at already, and what can a little hextra coal dust do to 'arm yer 'at?" “You don't see the point,” protested the husband, with dignity. “I only wears that ‘at in the hevenin's; and if, while I'm hout, I take it orf my 'ead. it leaves a bloomin’ black band round my forehead. Wot's the "consequence? Why, I giis accused of washin’ my face with my ‘at on, and it ain't nice, Liza! It ain't nice!” Seasonable Joke. “Paw.” “Well, George?" “Do they have winter in summer {n the arctic regions?” “Yes, son.” “And do they have summer fn win- ter in the tropics?"” “Exactly.” Study the Child.

In the mountainous province of) Kirin, formerly one of the three prov-| inces of Manchuria, dispatches are| conveyed by soldiers, who ride from cne district to another. One day re-| cently a soldier was on his way back| to Kirin city, the capital of the prov- ince, when he espied a large tiger| coming toward him. Dismounting, he aimed as best he could with a rifle not of the most modern pattern and| fired. The animal, though wounded,) was not disabled, and sprang in a fury| toward the soldier. Fortunately for| the man, he kept his head, and with the rifle tightly clasped and supported against his chest, awaited the oncom-| ing of the animal. Just as the tiger| his jaws wide open, the soldler| Jammed the rifle with all his might| through the mouth, against the base of the skulk The force of the animal’s, spring as he rushed forward no doubt helped to end the struggle, for in a few minutes the tiger was lying on| its side and breathing its last. The plucky soldier rode to the capital, 30| miles away, and reported the incident to his commander. Half a dozen other| soldiers then accompanied him to the spot, and between them the animal was carried home and photographed in front of the commander's house.—| Wide World Magazine.
