HE big chum wasn't long in getting the hang of things. He was a good shot to be gin with, and kept us fairly J well supplied with game and kangaroo tall soup. Jackson, our boss, had fixed the name of Cropper on the newcomer, probably because somehow It fell to his lot to get all the "buck-jumpers" to ride. He had been thrown so often that he ?was setting saddle-shy. He couldn't understand why It was that the other (?flows' horses gave them no trouble. While his own were shooting him Into ?pace at most unexpected times. "You see. It's like this. Cropper.** the boss would explain to him: "the horses know you're new, and they're just hav. tng fun with-you." Barnes, on the other hand, warned him that all the horses were only half broken in, that they needed constant watching, and couldn't be trusted for ft minute; but he doubted that. To convince him Barnes rode alongside of Cropper and swung his stock whip lash auddenly under the tall of the new chum's mount. The horse clamped his tall down upon It like a rise, dropped his nose to the ground, doubled up like a cat In a back* fence concert, and bucked for all It was worth. Ten stone ten of New Chum went bouncing away from him like a robber ball, and struck the ground ?ana too gently. Cropper picked him ?aif up painfully and remarked to Barnes: "i little of this will go a long way *Hk Me.** It did. It wont a long way toward Baking It impossible for a horse ever again to catch him unawares. There was one -man In the party to Whom Cropper didn't cotton. That Waa Johnson, the one-eyed cook. It waa a case of mutual dislike. Johnson bad begun by trying to rough Cropper, and waa promptly called down hard at fbe muscle of a gun. He weakened at pace, but he got some satisfaction out pf telling the others what terrible things be would do one of these fine Cays. The New Chum knew he wasn't fccared by the gun, he said, and he re ferred to the net as a cowardly bluff. , That gave Bsrnes an Idea. "Look here, Johnson, why didn't you call him out?" he asked. "Call him out. Tell him you want to settle the thing. There are the two Martini rifles In your wagon, say you're willing to meet him and fight with them. If ha weakens, you've got him. If he agrees, we'll doctor the cartridges so aa you won't hurt one another." The cook's one eye sparkled at the thought. "I'll call him out, all right," he sntd, when he hnd digested the Idea. "I'll call him out, sll right, and you needn't doctor the cartridges, either. You'll see. If he doesn't get frightened, why, I'll make a sieve of him at a hundred yards." "Hundred grandmothers H Barnes ?aid In disgust. "Do you think we're going to waste all the ammunition In tho wagon? You'll meet at ten yards, and you can hare the ammunition, faked or not. just as you please." The cook hesitated. "I don't want to mangle him." he said, finally. "If we meet at ten yards maybe?maybe you'd better fake the bnllets." "That's settled, then,*' Bsrnes de clared. "I'll second Cropper. If he won't come to time I will. I'll be behind him." "Held on there,** the cook exclaimed, excitedly. "We haven't had any trouble?you and me. We've got no call to fight." "This end of the 'we* does and will," Barnes said, grimly, "unless this busi ness Is settled at once. Is It to be faked or not?" "Why?er?faked,** of course," said tho cook. "I don't know as I really want to hurt him. A fright will do him a bit of good, though." Then Mr. Johnson had another thought. MOf course, he won't know It's to be ? foke. There's no need to tell him that." "No. of course not." Barnes replied, sarcastically. "He Isn't a sure thing intn, you know. Couldn't be. He's ?niy white." Tho cook began to fidget and fingered ft cartridge nervously. "How do I know you won't forget to fake them?" be asked. ' "Oh, that's all right, Johnson." the boss put In cheerfully. "I'll attend to that for you." Cropper came along and dropped n couple of wild turkeys on the ground. "There's something better than sal* horse. cook," he declared.

"I'd eat the heart of a man who did that to me." he hlaaed In the cook'a ear. "Nothing but blood will wipe this out," he Bald gravely to Cropper. "Nothing but blood. I'm backing Cookie." "Come on, then," said the angry new cham.' "If be must have it, he shall take a bath In hla own.** They started down to the flat Crop* per and Barnes In the lead, Jackson bringing op the rear wltb the cook. Jackaon waa busy wrenching the bullets out of a handful of cartridges snd filling their plsces with pulped plug tobacco. Where the edge of the fist sloped down to the BUIybung they csme to s hslt. The stream there was hedged off by a thick growth of wattle boshes, alz feet high. Even cattle could not penetrate it, which waa a good thing for the cattle, because Just there the BUIybung swirled over a bed of quicksand that would have bogged them in short order. Jackaon placed the men ten pacea apart, the cook with hia back to the buahea, and between Cropper and the river. Then be handed each man a rifle. "Fire at the word." he said. "And Juat remember thnt I'll Are at the msn that fires before the word." Barnes put In, looking significantly at the cook. Mr. Johnson shut hia one eye in a long wink, and grinned aa be directed Barnes' attention, by the wave of the hand, to Cropper. "You'll see," he muttered. The new chum's fare had grown white. His passion had worn itself ont. ? Say, Cookie." be called out, "what's the use? Can't this thing be settled some other wsy?" "I told you he was chicken-hearted." the cook shouted to the others. "No. it can't, you white-livered idiotP' he replied to Cropper. "I am going to fill you full of holes." The new chum's face grew red again. "I'll make you crawl for that," be said. "Ready?" Jackson asked. "Fire!" Both guns were discharged at the same moment. Cropper tried to got out another shell, but the shortened cartridge got Jammed between the magazine and the lift and disabled bis rifle. The eook was having better luck, dropped his piece slowly, worked the lever csrefully, brought the gun to his cheek confidently, fired and repeated. Cropper worked frsntleally for a mo ment to clear his gun, then straight* ened up and threw It aside. The cook let out a yell of triumph. Now watch him run!" he cried. Next instant he shrieked in terror, threw his own gun away and started at top speed for the wattle patch. "Stop him!" he yelled. "Take It away from him! Don't let him murder me!" No one but Cropper had thought of the ivorj handled six shooter at his lilp. The new chum drew It as he throw away his rifle, and a* It flashed in the air the cook saw It and turned tall. The new ehum fired two shots over the head of the fleeing took, and then collapsed in n tit of laughter. The cook flew nt the wattle hush, and as he reached It ho rose in the air and sailed over It. When they got him with a rope he I was up to his armpits in the quicksand and begged In tearful tones to he saved. It was Cropper who passed him the rope.?New Yor? News. How BookMtlw OlTM Away Koran.

The yoke of lace with col lar to match makes an attractive fea ture and is finished with lace or other banding when the bolero Is not used. The waist Is made with a fitted lin ing on which the full fronts and back are arranged and Is closed invisibly at. and on a line with, the left edge of the yoke, which is hooked over onto the left shoulder seam.

Tbe most precious bits of stained glass In Old World cathedrals are the pieces of "grisaille," so-culled, decora tive painting In monochrome of a greenish gray. The silk merchants borrow the word this season as a trade nmne of grisaille. Borne are the queen's gray, a sober color which Is adopted by women In half mourning or by those who seldom wear anything but black. Home shades of gray without the slightest tinge of green also pass muster as grisaille. Floanm hnbroldtrlti. Deep or narrow flounce embroideries In tine Swiss or heavy materials, collar and cuff sets, and special blouse sets, are manufactured of this embroidery. A flounce that will do away with the necessity of gathering Is shown, made of a circle of Swiss, the embroidery being along the outer border. The round centre Is Intended .-> be the size of the skirt or petticoat, although It may be cut out to accommodate a wider one. The plain edge of the circle Is stitched to the draperies. The embroidery then falls in folds, much more graceful than the ordinary flounce. titMt I<I*m In The day of the heavy, rope-like lace Is waning, and all the new sorts com j Ing now to trim the summer frocks i ?re on the Chnntilly order, thin and j airy as cobwebs.

As to the care of tl e car Itself, it mnst 11 ways be remembered that the bear ing apparatus la a piece of very deli rate mechanism, no more suited to rough treatment than is the ball of the eye. It can be easily Injured by the Introduction of a foreign body, or by a blow from the outside. Small children sometimes push things into 'heir ears by way of experiment. In this case the child's guardians should keep perfectly cool, and send for a physician at once. The child must not be shaken and penisheu until the ob ject Is removed, and above all the nurse or mother must not grope for !t with a hairpin or tweezers, for that !s the way to push It further in. or to vrouud or even rupture the delicate lrum membrane?an accident which may be followed by complete deafness and even death, should a serious in flammation ensue. There is. perhaps, one exception to this rule of leaving a foreign body ftlone until the doctor comes. Occa sionally insects fly into the ear. and zause great anguish by buzzing and fluttering about. They can be speedily disposed of by dropping In a little sweet oil or lukewarm salt water. As to the Injury from the outside, children should be carefully guarded against any games which Include loud shoutings directly into the ear. tnd it is surely needless to add that pulling the ears, and. above nil. boxing the ears as a form of punishment should be held a criminal offense. It may induce partial and temporay deaf ness. complete deafuess and even death, and If indulged in by a teacher should be followed by arrest and pub lic rebuke. The care of the general health as It affects the hearing is most important In young children, particularly as re gards the subject of ventilation, espec ially at night. Many children who get enough fresh air In the daytime are kept half suffocated at night. Nursery wlndows must be kept open, nurses must not be allowed to close ventil ators without permission, each child must have Its separate cot, placed out of the draft, but with good wide breathing space all round it. and the more signs a child gives of being con stitutionally disposed to ear trouble the more stringent should be the ob servance of these rules.?Youth's Com. purifon. Helped Her Hnibtnd'HtTi, Mrs. Helen Moore writes thus of her experience In earning money on the principle that "a penny saved is a penny earned." "My husband is a generous roan, and has been as liberal as his means allowed In giving me money for my <?wn use, and, best of all, I never had to ask him for money. One day he expiniued to me a business transaction he had under consideration and said: * 'It will take every cent I can raise, and I fear I cannot carry It through unless you go without pin money for six months. I do not like to ask you to do this, and if you do not care about doing it I will call the deal off.' "I saw what a good thing it was for his interest, so I cheerfully agreed to get along without any money. I was so cheerful about it that he said: 'I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll stop smok ing, I'll shave myself. I'll buy no more magazines, I'll walk to and from work and will go to the theatre only once a month instead of once or twice a week. All the money that I would have spent I'll put into a fund for you. Our gas bill has averaged a month and you can have all you save on that.' **I was delighted with this arrange ' tfient. At the end of six months I found I had earned $118. But I re ceived only eighty-two cents."?Clevc laud J?cndor. Sweet Pea*. Swe<4 pons are delightful for bou quet*?by themselves. But I know of no flower that can be arranged with tbein without seriously detracting from their beauty. It Is the same with nasturtiums ami pansies, says Eben llexford. in the Ladles' World. If I were going to arrange a vase of sweet peas for the table or the parlor. I would go into the garden and cut my flowers with the longest possible sterna, bunching them lightly in uiy band as I cut them, but without trying to produce an effect. 1 would simply bunch them. I would not cut more than a dozen or fifteen stems. Then I would drop them Into n rather tall, slender vase of clear glajs, of an un obtrusive color, give It a little shnpp, and lo! the blossoms would hnve ar ranged themselves far more satisfac torily than I could hnve done it by putting them deliberately together. i i i Tftct. An Indispensable endowment of tlie popular girl is tho tact, which, you know, is only touch, only feeling very quickly and surely the poise of a situ ation, only never treading on people's corns, or hurting them In a sore spot, or saying tho wrong thing, says the Ladles Home Journal. If a girl have the best education that the finest col lege In the land can give, and the pret tiest face In the town, and the most graceful figure In five counties, and have not tact, she will go blundering through life, making enemies, losing friends, and laying up for the future a store of regrets. Tact Is Inborn with some, but it may be cultivated. To succeed In winning regard and keep ing affection a girl uiust b# tactful. mutt hold her Impulsiveness In check, learn self-control, and be on the alert to do and saj kind things at r>"* moment. bmmiim As*. v It Is said that If a woman lives In harmony with the laws of uatnre she will grow more beautiful as she grows older. She should be more beautiful at forty than at sixteen, if she Is not a victim to the ravages of disease. Most of the world-famous'beautle* reached their seuith at forty. Helen of Troy was first heard of that age. Cleopatra was considerably more than thirty when she first met Antony. Aspasia was twenty-three when she married Pericles and was still a brilliant figure twenty years later. Anne of Austria was thlrty^-eight when pronounced the most beautiful woman In Euroi*. Catherine of Russia ascended the throne at thirty-three* and reigned thirty five years. Mile. Recamier was at her renlth at forty. I Qnwn Hobbles. The Empress of Russia has a passion for caricaturing and the collection of caricatures. The hobbies of Queen Wilhelmlna. the "girl qu??n" of Hol land. are skating and riding, but from childhood she has devoted herself to the raising of poultry. The Queen of Norway and Sweden, outside of her family and public life. Is devoted to religion. The Queen of Greece Is a yachtswoman. The Queen of Itnly lias chosen shooting and motoring as her principal hobbles. Portugal's Queen, who Is said to be the busiest woman in Europe, is an expert physic Ian and has raised her amusement to te dignity of a profession. Antic Sw??ter-Wal?t; The splendors of the 1SM)4 feminine sweater have not yet been exploited as they deserve. Sweater-waist it might more properly be called. One noted was woven of the softest white wool, shaped so as to blouse a llttio over the belt. It had a military collar, and the right front was woven in blunt points, each finished with a gold button. The front, collar and cuffs were trimmed with straps of embroid ered silk, blending dull Oriental tints. Resides being an aesthetic delight, such a waist will mean solid comfort to mademoiselle who will brave the cool air of the mountains this summer. Olon Wisdom. First shake a little powder In the glove, then place your elbow firmly on the table, the hand upright, the thumb at angles with the palm. Draw the body of the glove over the fingers and arrange each digit In the glove finger Intended for It, and see that the seams are not twisted. Carefully coax onto the fingers, and when they are fitted smooth the back stitching Into place. Then insert the thumb, the back seams again pulled up straight and the wrist buttoned.
