Mil tt ' ''S ?ssealrau Bv CLARISSA MACKIE. I Copyrighted. 19'JS. by Associated Literary Press. q Pink Luscotn rode out of/the corral with slack rein and drooping head. Care sat upon his broad shoulders and dulled the genial light in his gray eyes. Cumr^ings. seated on, the door step of' the bun!: ho.use. hooted de risively at bis mate. "You look like you was goin' a-court tn\ Pink." he grinned. Luscom turned a scowling brpw as he slapped the rawboned sorrel with a bronzed hand. "Drop it!" he growled crustily. The sojtc} struck a long, swinging gait, and presently horse and rider disappeared beyond a rise of ground, only to re?npear in gradually diminish ing perspective until suddenly they vanished altogether. "What's the, matter with Pink?" asked Roszy Jones In constrained tones from within the bunk house. "He looks like trouble has got him good and plenty." , Cumralngs'clasped his hands about his kneels and rocked to and fro in an ecstasy of delight "He's going to see the Widder Todd." he chuckled. :* Jones rushed to the door with razor In oue hand and a lank cheek lathered from brow to chin. "The Widder Todd!" he gasped. "Why, what's he goin' to see her for?" "He don't know?she sent for him this morniu'," returned Cummings mirthfully., "1 expect Piuk overreached himself t'other night at the dance. Mis/. Henuie Porter, she wouldn't look at Pink all the evenin'. She was dancin' and fliitin' with a long cheeked, flap eared jackass, and poor Pink he set up to the Widder Todd nnd courted her most particular all the evenin' with one eye on Miss Kennle and you. and I reckon that he said some serious thing to the widder?kinder absent like." "Widder Todd wouldn't look at Pink Luscom!" snorted Jones irritably. "Seems like she looked at him con flderable t'other night and enjoyed it sufficient to send for him this morn in\" drawled Cummings. Jones disappeared, and there was the sound of vigorous and renewed scrap ing of bis leathern cheek. Doe Cum "isat, bozzt, you .-??n't robe about the widdub ?" mlngs chewed the stem of his pipe re flectively. Presently he craned a cu* rious head toward the interior of the house. "See here. Romeo. If there's anything I can do to help you just you siug out. Shall I catch up a hoss for you ?" "Shut up!" retorted Jones in a stran gled tone. "Them there white winged collars is bad for the voice, Rozzy. You sound like you was chokin*. I reckon you'll wear that baby blue crisscross beck tle you bought at Widder Todd's store. I hear that baby blue is Miss Tlen nie's fav'rite color!" There was no response From .wiihin. and presently ? Jones, attired as gor geously as Pink Lnscom had been a half hour ago. strode haughtily past the man on the doorstop and into the corral, where he proceeded to catch a mount. In a trice he came tearing through the gate ou a fiery little black mare, his long legs dangling in close proximity to the burned grass. He, too. shot a resentful scowl to ward the jeering man ou the doorstep, and then he disappeared over the rise of ground, his dark figure silhouetted against the copper glory of the even ing sky. "There's Widder Todd a-settin' great store by Itozzy and as mad as a wet hen at him. So she's makin' up to Pink, who's/dippy about Miss Hen-< nie. Miss lleunie. she's mad at Pink, and so she flirts desperate with Itozzy, who's made at the widder. And they're all mad and jealous of one another, and if somebody don't shake 'em up there's bound to be some more mis mated marriages in Seven Forks. 0 Lordy!" Cummings tilled his pipe and lounger over to the cook house and joined a social group about the lire. itozzy Jones did not look at the cop- j per glory or the sunset. With moody j eyes lixed on the well worn he noted reluctantly the dimi lisbiog ? miles that lay between him ? :ul the crossroads. Here, instead o: pursu- j lug his customary course toward the I town ami the dorn idle of the fascinat- | jP., v i.? must' turn to the risrht Killed His Fr.ther-iii-Law. A dispatch from Eastman, Ga., says sarly M< nday morning C. G.' Powell shot and killed W. C. Wo-' tnnck his father-in-law, who lived i on the O ;bui*n place, near Leon, 'his I county.

There had been several calls such as this one was destined to be, and he frankly confessed to himself that Miss i Henii?''1 bbicil i:im Now. the widow! i'J^ey .-v.o..- *o.'.;.. and dug a spurred heel into the lit lie mare's flank. There was an ou'ward rush, and he ce.izn upon the crossroads with a scatter of loose gravei and flying hoofs. Seated on the back of^a rawboned sorrel was Pink Luscom. His very at titude suggested indecision. The sor \ rel's head was turned toward the town, while Pink's gray eyes gazed wistfully - up the cross trail which led to Porter's. His frown deepened as Jones drew his horse to a standstill and glared aggres sively at him. *~* ' Jones broke the silence at last. "'Pears like you'd lost the trail!" be sneered, heading his beast up the cross trail. Pink winced. A dark red settled down over bis bronzed face. "I reckon I can find It without any help from you," he drawled. "I. ain't seen you tryin' to do it!" cried Jones tantalizlugly. "Mebbe I don't want to. The trail to Seven Forks ain't a bad one." "You don't seem in no hurry to take it!" snapped Jones. Luscom's hand sought his hip. *1 reckon we might as well have it out now," he said calmly.. "I'd be plum glad to oblige you!" Jones had whipped out a weapon and wheeled his horse about. "I'd like to shake first. Rozzy," said Luscom gravely, Loldiug out a big browu paw. Jones grasped It eagerly. "We've been good frieuds up to now. Pink," ho said regretfully, "and I'm ;orry it's come to this, but when -two fellers erc.s each other's trail, why"? He paused and loo'/.ed past his rival to ward the town. Luscom was staring at him furious ly, and then a strange light broke over his good looking face'. "I say. P.ozzy. you ain't sore about the widder?" "What do you think?" Jones stared defiantly at the other man. "Miss Hen nle, she's all right. .But she and me don't set no great-store by each other. She says come, and the widder says go, fco there ain't nothin' for a feller to do." Luscom was1 fighting a cigarette with trembling fingers. "There's only one thing to do. Rozzy Jones." he said sol emnly. "Just don't' cross my trail, and I won't cross yours. The widder, she dont want to talk about nothin' but Rozzy. while Miss Hennie and ? me nster hit It off .first rate, and I reckon If you'll just move aside I'll pike along up ?o Porter's." Jones grinned happily as they passed one another, and just as each disap peared in a cloud of dust along his own particular trail two brown hands were waved in friendly farewell. * . * * * * * * When he heard the news Dock Cum mings waved a deprecating hand. "What else could you expect from fellers what wbre white wing collars and crisscross baby blue neckties?" he asked. All He Lacked. A pitcher belonging to a professional baseball club, who thought he was not getting his share of the limelight of publicity, went one day to the captain and manager to make his "kick." Be ing of a somewhat choleric disposition, which had got him into trouble more than once, he spoke with feeling. "Cap." he said, "you're not giving me a square deal, and you knp_w It" "What's the matter. Bill?" "You know what's the matter, cap. I haven't been*In the box for three weeks.

When you get as good control of your temper as you have of the ball I'll use you. all right. Don't you be un easy about that. Bill." Bill went away deep in thought, and it was not very long after that conver sation that he "got into the game" again.?Youth's Companion. Two Ugly Snakes. These two snakes, the hamadryad and the cobra, cause the great annual death roll of India from snake bite, about 22,000 people last year. One rea son for this great death roll is that Hindoos and Buddhists will not kill the snakes, as it is against their reli gion to take life. The cobra will go away from you usually, except in the nesting season, and then he will attack you ou sight'if you disturb him or his mate. It is at this time that so many deaths take place among the Malays and Siamese, as it is coincident with the rice planting season, and the peas ants are busily at work in the rice fields. The cobra will bite under wa ter, and many people are bitten on the foot or heel while planting rice. Death usually takes place in an hour or less. I have known a large buffalo to be bitten and die in fifteen minutes. It I ur.'st have been bitten directly in a vein. In the Malay peninsula and in Slum no one ever walks abroad after dark without a lamp or torch. it proves j almost sucidal to do so.?Medical Jour- j nal. Up to Dctc. "FTowM you get here, old man?
