Dan Randall, “Cowboy,” came down ' the turnpike llke a breath of wind mounted on his pet pony, Tempest. His graceful sombrero fluttered in the breeze, his clear eye and bronzed cheeks told of health, energy and am- bition. He drew up in front of the general store of the town to greet a friend—Ralph Pearson. Y “Heard you had come back,” spoke the latter, wincing at the iron hand- clasp of his oldtime schoolmate. “Going to stay?” ¢ “Not while such as this is calling ' me back to true friends of nature!™ declared Dan with spirit, patting the | beautiful steed he rode tenderly.‘ “Now then, Tempest—show your‘i paces!” It was at the response of certain words, touches and guidings of the bit that the superb animal was in-| fluenced to an exhibition of clever horse-sense that made the natives stare—Pearson included. Tempest knelt, stood on three feet, arose on two hind hoofs to a lofty height. He made a circular dash with a rapidity that took away the breath of the onlookers. A stray dog passing by was pursued by the mis; chief-loving animal, caught up by the cattle, dairy machinery and s plies, there is a corn show.

As to the men, they're all brothers—except the scallawags—and those we hang on sight.” “Well,” smiled Pearson, at the free, heartsome appearance of his friend, “you certainly resemble some young Lochinvar come out of the west. Haven't come back to pick out a bride, have you now, Dan?" The cowboy laughed merrily, his clear eye twinkling. “Not until I have a nest for the pretty bird I shall find some day,” he answered. sx¢ELECTRIC MOVED TO THE ' excitement and danger. scruff of his neck, carried yelping ln‘ animated ' “No, fact is, Pearson, I' have scrimped along out in Idaho un- | ling eyes. “He' Jewel, & treasure.

Five miles, ten miles, a daszling dash and turning across a treeless waste, Dan suddenly halted Tempest and fixed his éyes on | the far western horizon with a pro- longed: “Hellot” Across the sky suddenly and with- out warning there had spread a broad black ribbon. Rising above this, n" strata of clouds bolled, bubbled, tumbled, approaching with appalling swiftness. For the skilled plainsman a practiced eye read ' these menaces of a coming storm. He ' calculated to a second when it might cross his trail. As he touched up N'i horse, the intelligent animal sniffed ' and threw up its head as if scenting | Half way across the desolate stretch of moorland. Dan brought Tempest to an abrupt halt. It was where he observed the daintiest little lady he had ever seen. The rain had started, the wind nearly blew her oft her feet. He noticed her rich attire, her fair patriclan face, but had she been a scrub-woman the chivalrous sentiments of Dan would have even equally aroused. “Quick!” he spoke rapidly, with a superb sweep reaching directly the side of the young lady. “There is not and then—a dash for our lives. We're a-goner if that storm overtakes us!" Miss Nina Grant drew back and re- garded this unceremonious stranger with disturbed dignity, despite her environment. Dan, for all his crude western ways. read the oracle. He reached down, her by the slen- der waist and | w..ed her on the sad- dle in front of him before the aston- ished maiden could realize it all. “How dare you,” she flashed out. “Scold me later,” retorted Dan. “Just now—there she comes! Temp- est,.0ld boy,.do yque last!” Nifa could not help but admire the manly strength and determination of the young man. She was chagrined for all that at his masterly ways. As | a moment to lose. Get into the saddle = | ‘0ak and Pine Wood It | he landed her, wet through but safe, on the porch of the first home they came to, she remarked rather sharply: “You see, sir, the storm was not so harmful after all!" “Not here, young lady,” returned Dan, “but look yonder. We got out of the scrimmage just in time.” Nina shuddered as she looked back the course they had come. A verit- able cyclone had swept the route just covered and flying debris and uproot- ' ed trees told what she had escaped. “Sorry I offended you,” said Dan in his offhanded way. “Oh, no!"” cried Nina quickly. “You don't know how grateful I am,” and then each had the time to observe the other. It was love at first sight. A week later the whole town was dis- cussing “the rare catch” the young ranchman had made of the daughter of proud aristocratic Judge Grant. In the midst of his love-making bad luck came te Dan. One night Temp- est kicked the shed he was in to pleces and started forthwith to ravage several gardens. The animal came home limping, a load of buckshot in one limb. The veterinary surgeon til I have paid for two thousand acres of land. came back to the home town hoping to borrow the capital.

She was helpless to ald him. Temp- est, near by, plunged into the swift current, seized the loose clothing of the little tot in his teeth and brought the imperiled child ashore. That evening Martin Dobbs sent for Dan. “Mr. Randall,” he sald, “it was I | Who shot your poor horse, and I'm ashamed of it.

You shall have all you need as long as you like, without in- terest.” 8o the young ranchman took home a bride to his western home—and they did not leave brave, loyal Temp- est behind.

It is a familiar saying that no man can achieve anything worth doing un- less he run the risk of looking ridicu- lous. The men who have done the great work of the world have cheer- fully taken that risk, and ridicule, which is the severest form of publicity, has falled to kill the noblest enter prises. An eminent difference between the Englishman and the American lles in the attitudes of the two toward pub- licity. The American lives in public; he has not even a fence around his house. * * * And there is no ques- tion but that in many ways the Amer- ican suffers for his want of reserve. On the other hand, in many fields . of activity he gains enormously. There S0P THATCOUGH Don’t let that cough hang on. Stop it \ before it goes too far. \) Heed the warning.

It he wants to forward an idea, to help a cause, he becomes a cheerful and shameless “crank.” With the Amer- ican, to be seized with an idea is not to think it round and over, compare it with other ideas, weigh the pros and ocons and calculate its effect on this body of interests or that. It is to put it to the trial, and see what happeas.

During the past few years the pine- apple industry of the Hawalian islands has experienced considerable develop- ment, causing it to rank second to that of sugar. At present there are about 7,000 acres on the islands plant- ed to pineapples. And although they are grown on nearly all of the islands ) of the group, by far the larger part of the acreage is on the Island of Oahu. The fresh or raw fruit, proportionate- ly small in quantity, is distributed only to points in the United States. Habit of Judging. ‘The habit of judging is so nearly in- curable, and its cure is such an almost interminable process, that we must concentrate ourselves for a long while on keeping it in check, and this check | is to be found in kind interpretations. We must come to esteem very lightly our sharp eye for evil, on which per- haps we once prided ourselves as clev- erness. We must look at our talent for analysis of character as a dread- ' ful possibility of huge uncharitable- | ness. We are sure to continue to say | clever things, so long as we continue to indulge in this analysis; and clever things are equally sure to be sharp and acid We must grow to some- thing higher and something truer than quickness in detecting evil. | Hint for Photographers. Carbonate of soda is an accelerator | for the reducing agent. With mosi de- velopers, when they are dissolved | alone in water, the image will ultl-| mately appear, but it will come very | slowly. Add a strong solution of car- | bonate of soda to the reducing agent | and water and the image will {uirlyl leap at you. The reduction of the bromide of silver has been tremen- dously hastened and it is also more thorough and complete, the negative having much greater density. This s the sole mission of a carbonate of soda in the developer. It is to speed things up and complete the u:uon.-—-l Outing. WO beautifully made and comfort- ably fitting hats for the elderly woman are shown here, which possess all the good points that are looked for in millinery of this character. They fit the head, to start with, and stay in place. They are light in weight, grace- ful in lin®, and their making displays exquisite workmanship. Many elderly women prefer a black hat to all others. It is a mistake to indulge this preference unless black is becoming. But every woman wants at least one black hat, and every elderly woman should possess one. There s no good reason why white-haired women should not wear rich and love- 1y colors and brilliant millinery, but there are many occasions when the woman and the occasion require black. A between-seasons hat is really an all-the-year-round hat. One of those shown here is made of faille silk and the other of hair braid. The hat of ellk is made on a toque frame having the coronet covered with folds ot silk | faid in a neat pattern on the ftame. The wing with which it is trimmed is also made of silk folds over a founda- tion of net. This is a wondertully ele- &) /41’4 \‘\ [z gant model which will appeal to the woman of quiet tastes. A less expensive hat is shown fr which the brilliance of hair braid over comes the somberness of black. Thit braid is very light and very soft anc just about indestructible. The shap¢ {s smart and becoming to almost al faces. There are many pressed shapes suit ed to middle-aged and elderly women But the softest and most elegant hats those that please their wearers most, are “milliner made"—that is, covered with braid or silk or other fabric put on over a light frame. Hats of this kind are made just to suit their wear- ers. And the elderly woman knows what she wants, is not captivated by novelties but is an appreciative patron whose needs are somewhat neglected in the usual showings of millinery.
