when a party of cowboys demanded the

When the plants are brought from n

much of a crop the second year, in fact.

time, and stepping into an adjoining

looking musket, a big powdey-born, a
bag of shot and pome water-proof caps.
Darius examined the guu critically,
blowing into the muzzle with such
force that his cheeks bulged out like
those of the fat man in the dime mu

“If any o’ them tramps try to burgle
me I’ll make it mighty interesting for

inspection of the arm’and poured a
heavy charge of powder into his broad
palm.

“Have you shot him?” came in horri

•T’vo stirred him up a Ijjtle, I reck
on,” grimly responded Darius, as he
caught the sound of retreating foot
steps, and groping his way through the
smoke he drew aside the curtain and
looked out. At a distance of perhaps a
dozen yards stood old Brindlc, Darius’
tost cow. Her nose was elevated at an
angle of forty-five degrees and her head
was swaying to and fro in bovine dis
tress. .
“Thunderation!” ejaculated the as
tonished farmer, as the truth suddenly
dawned upon him. “Mother, it’s old
Brimlle, and I’ve filled her chock full
o’ shot,” he continued, as he unlocked
the terribly shattered door and stepped
out into the cool air. It was only too
true. It was old Brindle. She had

Summer dresses.
Inexpensive and lleeouitng Oowu* For the
Hot !>*/«.
The charming organdies and light
lawns make tbe most deliciously cuol
dresvs, and arc highly appreciated on
mid-summer days. They arc inexpen
sive ami almost universally becoming.
The},' nre made in various simple ways,
among the prettiest licing plain skirts
with rows of tucks. A charming idea
is wide tucks, on the edge of which is
narrow lace which just covers the space
to the next tuek below. This makes a
novel and dressy finish. Plain, straight
ruffles gathered on to a cord are liked
for such materials. Any quantity of
luce and ribUnis are used for making
up these poods. Waists nre usually
made over a lining.. One of the simplest
and easiest ways of doing this is to buy
a well fitted corset cover and use if for
a lining. If neceasary, bone casings
may be sewed inside, and, if desired,
the body can bo cutoff at the waist-line
and sewed to the skirt This will be
found much more convenient as noth
ing is more awkward or unpleasant
than for tfne'fl garments to fall apart at
the waist-line. An under-body and
petticoat or princess petticoat as they
really arc, is very useful for wcarhig
with dresses qf this sort If ^ does
