CHILLIWACK FEE- PRESS THE KEY TO YESTERDAY By CHARLES NEVILLE BUCK Copyright 1010] [By W, J. Watt & Company CHAPTER I. THI0 palings tit' tho grandstand in closure- creaked in protest under i in* pressure, 'rho shadows of forward-surging mon wavered far out across lho track. A smother uf on- drlvlng dust broke, hurricane-like, around tho last turn, sweeping heforo li Into tho nt ru lull ta way a struggling mass or horse-flesh ami a confusion of stable-colors. Back to the rlghl, the grandstand came to Uh Coot. bol- lowing in a madman's chorus. oui .-r tho forefront of tho strugglo strained n blood-bay colt. Tho hoy, crouched ovor tho shoulders, wns riding with hand ami heel to the last ounco of his slrenglh and the last sub- tlo feathcr-welghl of his crafl ami skill. Ai his saddlesktrts pressed a pair of distended nostrils mid a black, foam-flecked muzzle. Behind, with a gap * i tract*: and daylight between, trailed tho laboring "ruck." A tall slranger, who hail hist his companion and host in the malestrom .,i' tin- betting shod, had taken his Htand near tho angle where the pad- duck grating meets tho track fence, A Derby crowd at Churchill Downs is a congestion of humanity, and In the obvious Impossibility of finding his friend he c.mld here at least give his friend the opportunity of finding him, since at this point wore a few panels of fence almost clear. As the two coits fought out iho hnal decisive furlongs, the black nose stealing inch by Inch along the bay neck, tho stranger's face wore an Interest nol altogether that of the casual race-goer. His shoulders were thrown back, and his rather lean jaw angle swept into an uncompromising firmness of chin- jusi now up- tilted, The man stood something like six feet of clear-cut physical fitness, There was a declaration in hlB breadth of shoulder and depth of chest, In his slenderness of waist and thigh, of a life spent only partly within walls, while the free awing of torso might have intimated to the expert observer thut some of It had been spent In the saddle. Of the face Itself, the eyes were the commanding features. They were gray eyes, set under level brows; keenly observant by token of their clear light, yet tinged by a half-wistful softness that dwells hauntlngly in the eyes of dreamers. Just now, tlie eyes saw not only the determination of a four-furlong dash for two-year-olds, but also, across the fresh turf of the Infield, the radiant magic of May, under skies washed brilliant by April's rains. Then, as the colts came abreast and passed In a muffled roar of drumming hoofs, his eyes suddenly abandoned the race at the exact moment of its climax: as hundreds of heads craned toward the judges' stand, his own gaze became a stare focussed on a point near his elbow. lb- stared beeauso he had seen, as It seemed to him. a miracle, and (he miracle was n girl. It was, at all events, nothing short of miraculous that such a girl should be discovered standing apparently unaccompanied, down in this bricked area, a few yards from ibe paddock an.l the stools *.f lit* bookmakers. Unlike his own, her eyes had remained constant to the outcome of the race, and now ber face was averted. so that only the carve of one cheek, a small ear and a curling tendril of brown hair under the wide, soft brim of her Panama hat reworded him for the surrender of the spectacle on the track. Most ears, he found himself reflecting with a sense of triumphant discovery, simply grow on the sides <*f heads, but* this one might have been fashioned and set by a hand gifted with the exquisite perfection of the jeweler's art. A Tew moments before, the spot Where she Stood bad been empty save for a few touts and trainers, lt seemed Inconceivable, In the abrupt revelation of her presence, that she could, like himself, bave been simply CUt off from companions and left for the Interval walling. lie caught himself Costing about for less prosaic ex plana tiou. Magic would seem to suit her better than more actuality. She was sinuously Blonder, and then; was a splendid hint of gallantry in the unconscious sweep of her shoulders. He was conscious tbat the simplicity of her pongee gown loaned itself io an almost barbaric freedom of carriage with the same readiness as do the draperies of the Winged Victory. Yet. even the Winged Victory achieves her grace by a pose of triumphant action, while this woman stood In repose OX- cepl for the delicate forward-bend Ing excltomonl **f watching tho batHe in tlm sir**!, h. The man was in.i. l.y nature, siis- ceptlble. Women as sex magnates had little pari In his life cosmos, The Intorsst lu* felt now with olectrlcal force, wan the challonge that beauty In any form made upon Ids enthusiasm. Perhaps, that was why In* stood all unreal Ulna the disco urlo sy ..f his gaping scrutiny a Scrutiny lhat. even with her eyes turned away, she must have foU, At all events, he must see her face. As ihe croscondo <*r tho grandstand's suspense graduated into the more positive note of rliimtx and began to die, She turned toward him. lier lips were half-parted, and the sun struek hor cheeks nnd mouth und chin into a delicate brilliance of .-.dor, while the hat- brim threw a bond of shadow ou forehead and eyes. Tlle mall's Itllpl -cssiun was swift and definite. II*' had boon Waiting '" see, and was prepared, Tin* face ho decided, was nol beautiful by the gauge of set standards. H was, however, beautiful in tho bettor si nse of itn individuality; in llie delicacy <*f Ihe small, yet resolute, chin and the expressive depth of the eyes. Just now. they were shaded into dark pools of blue, hut he know they eould brlghl en Into limpid violet. Sho straightened up as she turned and met his stare wllh a steadiness thai should have disconcerted it, yet he found himself still studying her With'tho detached, though utterly engrossed, Interest of the critic. She did not start or turn hurriedly away. Somehow, he caught lhe realization thai flight had no part In her system of things. Th*' human tide bogan Mowing back toward the betting shed, and lefl tbem alone In a cleared space by the palings. Then, the man saw a quick anger sweep lnio the girl's face and deepen the color of her cheeks. Her chin went up a trifle, and her lips lightened. lb- found himself all at once In deep confusion. He wauled to lell her that he bad not realized the actuality of Ids staring Impertinence, until sbe had, with a (lush of unutterod wrath and embariassment, revealed tlm deplh of his felony . . . for he eould no long- i r regard ii as a misdemeanor. There was a note of contempt in her eyes lhal slung him. and presently ho found himself stammering an excuse. "I beg your pardon—1 didn't reali/.e ii," li" began lamely. Then he added as though to explain it all wllh the frank outspokenness of a Bchool-boy: "1 was wishing that I eould paint you - I couldn't help tfazitiH." For a few moments as she stood rigidly and indignantly silent, he had opportunity to reflect on the Inadequacy of his explanation. At last, she spoke with the line disdain of affronted loyalty. "Aro yen quite through looking at me? May 1 go now'.'" He was contrite. "I don't know that 1 eould explain— but it wasn't meant to be—to be " Me broke off, floundering. "It's a little strange," she commented quietly na though talking tu herself, "because you look like n gentleman." The man flushed. "You are very kind and Haltering," he said, his face instantly hardening. "I shan't tax you with an explanation. I don't suppose any woman could be induced to understand that a man may look ut her—even stare at her— without disrespect, just as he might look at a sunset or a wonderful picture." Then, he added half in apology, half In defiance: "l don't know much about women anyway." For a moment tbe girl slood with her face resolutely set, then she looked up again, meeting his eyes gravely, though he thought thai she had stifled a mutinous Impulse of her pupils to ritlle into amusement. "I must wait here for my uncle," she told him. "I'nless you have to stay, perhaps you had lietter go." The toll stranger swung off toward the betting shed withoui a backward glance, and engulfed himself In the mob where one bad to fight and shoulder a dtllleult way ln zigzag course. Bock of the forming linos of winners with tickets to cash, he caught sluhl of a young man almost as tall as himself and characterized by the wholesome attractiveness of one who has taken life with zest and decency. He wore also upon feature and bearing tlie stamp of nn aristocracy that is not decadent- To the side of tiiis man, tho stranger shouldered his way. "Since you abandoned mo," he accused, "I*vo been Standing out there like a Httic boy who has lost his nurse." After a pause, he added: Ami rve seen a wonderful girl—the one woman lu your town I want to meet." His host took him by the elbow, and began steering him toward the pnd- dock gate. "So, you have discovered a divinity, and aro ready to be presented. And you are the scoffer who armies that women may be eliminated. You aro —or woro—the man who dtdn'l care io Know thnn." The guest answered calmly and with brevity: "I'm not '.alkitiL; about women. I'm talking abOUl a woman and she's totally different." "Who Is she, Bob?" "llow should I know'."' "I know a few of them- suppose you describe her." The strant-er halted and looked at bis friend and host with commiserating pity. When he deigned to speak. It was with Infinite scorn. "Describe her! Why, you fool, I'm no poet laureate, ami, If 1 woro, 1 couldn't describe her!" For reply, he received only fhe disconcerting mockery of Ironical laughter.

In the club-house Inolosure, th.* roomy vorandnhSi the eioso-crop- ped lawn ami ev.-n the roof-gallery were crowded; not Indeed to the con- gestlon <>r the grandstand's perspiring swarm, for Fashion's reservation still allowed some luxury of space, hut beyond tin* numbers of less Important Unies, in lhe burueonlng variety of new spring gowns and hals, the women mad.' bouquets, as though living flowers bad been brought to tin* shrine tif the thoroughbred. ft table at the far end of the veran dab seemed to be a llltjo Mecca fo Strolling visitors. In the pnrty stir I rounding it, one might almost have j caught the Impression that the pre .tineas of the feminine display had been here arranged, and that in scattering attractive types along the front of the white club-house, some landscape gardener had reserved the most appealing beauties for a sort of climacteric effect al thu end. Sarah and Anne Preston were there, and wherever the Preston sisters appeared there also were usually gathered together men, not to the number of two or three, but in full quorum. And, besides the 1'reslon sisters, this group included Miss Buford and a fourth girl, indeed, it seemed to be this fourth who held, with entire unconsciousness, more lhan an equal share of attention. Duska Fllson was no more cut to the pattern of the ordinary than the Itusslan name her romantic young mother had given her was an exponent of th' life about ber. She was different, and nt every point of her divergence from a routine type it was Ihe type lhat suffered by the contrast. Having preferred being a boy until she reached that age when ii became necessary lo bow to the dictate of Kate and accept her sex. she luul retained au understanding for, and a comradeship wiih, men lhat made Ihem hers in bondage. This quality she had combined with all that was subtly and delldousiy feminine, and. though sh loved men as she loved small boys, some of tbem had discovered that was always as men. never as a man. She had a delightfully refractory way of making her own laws to govern her uwn world a system for whlcb she offered no apology; ami this found its vindication in Uu- fact that her world was well-governed though with absolutism. Tin* hand was blaring something popular ami reminiscent of Hie winter's gayetles, but tbe brasses gave their notes to the May air, and the May air smoothed and melted them into softness. Duaka's eyes were fixed on tbe green turf of the Infield where several soul inel trees pointed Into the blue. Mr. Walter Bellton, having accomplished the marvellous feat of escaping from tho bookmaker's maelstrom with the immaculateness of his per soual appearance intact, sauntered up to drop somewhat languidly Into a chair. "When ono returns in triumph." he commented, "one should havo chaplets of hay and arches to walk under. It looks to me as though the reception- committee has not been on the job." Sarah Preston raised a face shrouded in gravity. Her voice was velvety, but Hellion caught its undernote of ridicule, "I render unto Caesar those things that nre Caesar's—but what is your latest triumph?" She put her question Innocently. "Did you win a bet?" If .Mr. Belton's quick-flashing smile was an acknowledgement of the thrust at his somewhat self-appraisement, bis manner at least remained lmperturb- ubly complacent. "1 was not clamoring for my own duos," he explained, wilh modesty. "For myself. I shall be satisfied with an unostentatious tablet ln bronze when I'm no longer with you in the flesh. In tbls Instance I was speaking for another." He did not hasten to announce lhe name of the other, in even the little things of life, this gentleman calculated to a nicety dramatic values and effects, .lust as a public speaker in nominating a candidate works up to a climax of eulogy, and pauses to let his hearers shout, ".Name him! Nome your man!" so Mr. Bellton paused, waiting for someone to ask of whom he spoke, It was little .Miss Buford who did so with the debutante's legitimate Interest In the possibility of fresh conquest, "And who has returned in triumph?" "George Steele." Sarah Preston arched her brows in mild interest. "So, the wanderer is home! 1 had the Idea he was painting masterpieces in the Quortler Latin, or wandering about with a sketching easel In southern Spain." "Nevertheless, he is back," affirmed the man. "and he has brought with him an even greater celebrity than himself a painter of International reputation, it would seem. 1 met tbem a fow moments ago in the paddock, and Steele Intimated tbat they would Shortly arrive to lay Iheir joint laurels at your feet." Louisville society was fond of George Steele, and when on occasion he dropped back from "the happy roads that lead around the world." It was t'i find a welcome in his homo city only heightened by hts long absence. -Who is this greater celebrity?" demanded Miss Buford. She km-w lhat Steele belonged to Duskil Fllson, or at leasl lhat whenever he returned It was to renew the proffer of himself, .v.n though with the knowledge that the answer would lie as It hud always been: negative. Her interest was accordingly ready to consider In alternative the olher man. "Robert A. Saxon—lho ilrst disciple of Frederick Marston," declared Mr. Bellton. If no one present had over heard the name before, the consequential manner of Its announcement would have brought a sense of deplorable iimnlli-htcmucnt l:Hit mi's eyes despite fhe Impression of weakness conveyed by tin* heavy lenses of Ills poso-glass. missed little and he saw that Duska Fllson still looked off abstractedly across the bend rtf tho homestretch, taking no not.* of bis heralding. "Doesn't Ibe news of new arrivals excite you, Miss Fllson?" Im Inquired, wllh a touch of drawl In his voice. The girl half-turned her head with ;i Mull.* distinctly short of enthusiasm. She did not care for Bellton, She was herself an'exponent of all things natural and unaffected, and she read between lho Impeccably regular lines of his personality, with a criticism that was adverse. "Vuu see," sho auswered simply, "It's nnt news. I've seen George since he came," "Tell us all about this celebrity," prompted Miss Buford, eagerly. "What is he like?" Duska shook her head. "1 haven't seen him. He was to arrive this morning." "So, you see," supplemented Mr. Hellion, with a smile, "you will, after all, have to fall back on me—I have seen blm." "You," demurred the debutante with a disappointed frown, "are only a man. What tloes a man know about another man ?" "The celebrity," went on Mr. Bellton, Ignoring the charge of Inefllcicney, "avoids women." He paused to laugh. "Ho was tolling Steele that he had come to paint landscape, and I am afraid he will have to be brought lagging into your presence." "It seems rather brutal to drag him here" suggested Anne Preston. "I, for one, am willing to spare blm the ordeal." "However," pursued Mr. Bellton with some zest of recital, "1 huve warned blm. I told blm what dan genius batteries of eyes he must en counter, lt seemed to me unfair t< let him charge luto the lists of lovoll ness all unarmed - with his heart be bind no shield." "And bo . . . bow ilbl he Into your warning?" demanded Miss Hu ford, Idea thl I 111 "1 think It is bis craven avoid the danger aud retreat a lirsl Opportunity. He said III was n painter, had even been a puncher once, but that society w.-i yond his powers anil his taste." The group had boon neglecting the track, Now, from tho grandstand came once more lhe noisy outburst thai ushers Ibe horses Into Hie stretch, and conversation died as the party came lo Its feet. None of its members noticed for the moment the two young men who luul made (heir way between the chairs of lhe verandah until they stood Just back of the group, awaiting their turn for recognition. As the horses crossed the wire and the pandemonium of tin- stand fell away, George Steele stopped forward to preseut his guest. "This is Mr. Robert Saxon." h nounced, "He will paint the portraits of you girls almost as beautiful you really are. . . . H's as far mere art can go." Saxon stood a trifle abashed at the form of presentation as the group turned to greet him. Something In the distance had caught Duska Filson's Imagination-brimming eyes, She wai sitting with her back turned, and did not hear Steele's approach nor turn with tho others. Saxon's casually critical glance passed rapidly over the almost too flawless beauty of tiie Preston sisters and the flower-llko charm of littio Miss Huford, then fell on a slender nirl in a simple pongee gown and soft, wide- brimmed Panama hat, Under the hat- brim, he caught tlu* glimpse of an ear that might have lieen fashioned by a jeweler and a curling tendril of brown hair. IT Saxon bad Indeed been the timorous man Bellton Intimated, the glimpse would have thrown him Into panic. As it was. he showed no sign of alarm. His presentation as a celebrity had focused attention upon him In a manner momentarily embarrnsslny*. He found a subtle pleasure in the thought that II had not called the girl's eyes from whatever occupied them out beyond the palings, Saxon disliked fhe ordinary. His canvases and his enthusiasm were alike those of the Individualist. "Duska." laughed .Miss Buford, "come back from your dreams, antl be introduced to Mr. Saxon." Tlic painter acknowledged a moment of suspense. What would lie lier attitude when she recognized Ihe man who had stared al her down by (he paddock fence? The girl turned. Qxcepl himself, no one snw the momentary flash of amused surprise in her eyes, lhe quick change from gravo blue to flashing violet ami back again to grave blue. To the man. the swiftly shifting Unlit of It seemed to say: "You are at my mercy; whatever liberality you receive Is at lhe gift and pleasure of my generosity." "I beg your pardon," she snid simply, extending her hand. "1 was just thinking --" she paused to laugh frankly, and It was the music of tin* laUgh that most impressed Saxon "I hardly know whal I was thinking." He dropped with a sense of privileged good-fortune into tlie vacant chair at hor side. With Just a hint of mlsehlof riffling her eyes, but utter artlessness in her voice, she regarded him questloningly, "I wonder If we have not met somewhere before? It seems to mo •" "Often," be asserted. "1 think It was iu Babylon tlrst. perhaps. And you were a girl In Maeeilon when I wus a spearman In the army of Alexander." She sat as roflOCtlVfl and grave as though she were searching her recollections of Babylon and Macedon for a chance acquaintance, but under flu* gravity was a repressed sparkle of mischievous delight, After a moment he demanded brazenly: "Would you mind telling me which coll won that Ilrst race?" CHAPTER II "Ills career has been pretty much n march of successive triumphs through lhe world of art, and he has left the critics only one peg on which to hang their carping," Steele spoke with lhe warmth of enthusiasm. He had succeeded 111 eup- turtng Duska for a few minutes of monopoly In the semt-solltudo of the verandah a I the hack of the clubhouse. Though he had a hopeless cause of hla own to plead il was characteristic of him thai his first opportunity should go to the praise of his friend. "What Is tbat?" The girl found herself unaccountably Intorostod nnd ready to assume this sl ranger's defense even hefore she knew wllh whu! his critics charged him. "That he is a copyist," explained the man; "that he is so enamoured of the style of Frederick Marston that his pictures can't shake off the Influence. He Is great enough to blaze his own trail—to create his own school, rather Hum to follow In the tracks of another. Of course," bu hastened to defend, "that is hardly a valid indictment. Every master is, at the beginning of his career, strongly affected liy the genius of some greater master. Tho only mistake lies In following ln the footsteps of one not yet dead. To play follow-the-leader wilh a man of a past century Is permissible and laudable, but to glvo the same allegiance to a contemporary is, in the narrow view of the critics, to accept a secon dary placo." The Kentuckian sketched with ardor the dashing brilliance of the other's achievement; how live years had brought him from lethal obscurity to international fame; how, though a strictly American product who had not studied abroad, his Salon pictures had electrified Paris. Ami the girl listened with attentive Interest. When the last race was ended and the thousands were crowding out through the gates, Saxon heard his host accepting a dinner Invitation for the evening. "I shall have a friend stopping in town on bis way Kast, whom 1 want you all (o meet." explained Mr. Bellton, the prospective host, "lie is one Senor Rlbero, au attael I a South American legation, and lu- may provo Interesl Ing." Saxon caught himself almost frowning, li.* did riot cure for society's of- fcrings, but lhe engagement was made, ami he had now rn. alternative to adding his declaration of pleasure to that of bis bosl. lie was. however, silent io lac Hum Uy as SLeolo's runabout chugged Its way along in Hie parade iif motors and carriages through the gales of lho race-track Inalosuro, in his pupltB, tbe mile of melancholy unrest was decided, winie ordinarily 11n ii* was only (be hlui. "There is lime." suggested the host, "for a tun oul to Hie Hoiilevard; I'd Ilk.- io show y*>u a view or Iwo." The suggoBtlon of baiklng at a promising landscape ordinarily challenged Saxon's Interest to the degree of en- ibusiasui. Now, he only nodded, II was not until Steele, who drove his own car, stopped at the top of the Iroquois Park hill that Saxon spoke. They had halted at the southerly brow of the ridge from which the eye sweeps a radius of twenty miles over purpled bills and polychromatic valleys, to yet other hills melting in a sky of melting turquols. Looking across the colorful reaches, Saxon gave voice to his enthusiasm. They left lhe car, and stood on the rocks that Jut out of the clay at the road's edge. Beneath them, the wooded hillside fell away, throe hundred feet of precipitous slope and tangle. For a time, Saxon's eyes were busy with the avid drinking In of so much beauty, then once more they darkened as he wheeled toward his companion. "George," he said slowly, "you told me that we were to go to a cabin of yours tucked away somewhere in (he hills, and paint landscape. I caught tlie idea that we were to lead a sort of camp-life—that we were to be hermits except for the companionship of our palettes and nature and each other —and the few neighbors that one finds In the country, and- " The speaker broke off awkwardly. Steele laughed.

MISTRAL'S DOG An award I'OCOntly conferred on Frederic Mlslral has called forth ll peculiar lottor from him concerning his dog, a French poodl * canlche, which be hOllQVOB to be Ilu- reincarnation ol an ancient Unman slave. The society known as "I .'Assistance aux Aulmnux" recently gnvo the poet a prize in consideration of his fondness for animals. In return Mistral wrote a letter In which he says: "it was not without astonishment that I received lhe good newti of the Prix du President de la Ropubllque Which the Society of Help for Animals conferred on me. After reflecting a good deal I have come to tho conclusion llmt my good dog, Barboche, of which I send you a photograph, was not a st runner to m.v good fortune. The said Barboche, whom I took In as a waif a few years ago, is a mysterious creature. 1 found one day in ono of my usual walks through the country a fragment of one of those little Roman urist mills, which they used for grinding their wheat, and which were turned by slaves who had been condemned to that work for some reason or othor. When I came home I dropped the thlnn in the yard in front of the house. My dog Barboche bounded for It at once and made frantic efforts to turn It with his paws. He was so earnest In his efforts that I had to take the atone away from him lest he should wear himself out turning it. This performance of turning the stone Is repeated every time that 1 give it to Barboche. The conclusion of it is that I have come to believe that my poor canlche Is the reincarnation of a slave of ancient times, belonging probably to some Gallo- Roman master who was very hard on hts slaves, This, nt any rate, seems to me to bo the only explanation of this extraordinary fact, ami I beg you to pardon mc It 1 think lhat the reward whieh 1 received from your society was partly due to the Influence of my good Barboche, who, 1 believe, is a porte-lionheur." BUTTERFLIES IN BURMA Never anywhere hi all our wanderings had we seen so many butterflies at one time. They swarmed In the sunshine like clouds of gnats. Butterflies of every conceivable hue—like the thrones of gay. sllk-elad Burmese maids who gather about the railroad stations of Lower Burma. They carpeted the trail, fluttering up before our horses' honfs, perhaps to light upon us. or upon the horses themselves, or to drift off down the valleys, or to settle on the trail ahead. only to be started up again. The Bur- man believes the spirits of human beings ft) be butterflies, which, when (he bodies to whom Ibey belong are at rest, may go fluttering about the world al will. Thus only for the gravest reasons will one Burman waken another; for that butterfly spirit may be wandering, who knows where, ami Illness or death may come to him who Is wakened before his spirit has returned gently to arouse ibe sleeping body.

A crow was seen tlKhting an intruder Into its nest situated at the very top of a tree. The crow was circling at close quarters and pecking hard at the nest, cawing loudly all the time.

We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a majority of these precious lives, Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations, Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or les3 opium, or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any qi;__tity thoy stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castorb operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opena the pores of the skin and allays fever.

With the Horses The most common form of sor-- Bhoulders is practically a scalding. The shoulder becomes tender and hot, probably no swelling;'the hair fulls out the skin becomes reddened, and soon raw. In these eases, as in other forms of sure shoulders, of course, the proper course is to give rest nnd treatment until u cure is effected. But in many cases horses are scarce, and tlie work must be done In a certain lime, and rest is practically out of thc question so long as the animal is able to work. Probably the nest treatment is a dressing made of one ounce each of sulphate of 7.1m- and acetate of lead, to a pint of water. This should be applied our or live times dally. Various means nre taken to relieve pressure upon the sore parts. Some use pails with boles that lit over the sores, some cut or JUST ONE MORE SPLENDID CURE RHEUMATISM WAS VANQUISHED BY DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS.

This can bo done with reasonable satisfaction, except wlu-n machinory or vehicles with tongues are usod. lu so cases of sore shoulders of Un,. nature, it will he noticed that the diseased skin purls from the healthy skin iu a circle, but a portion In Die centre remains attached to tho underlying tissues. This Is culled a "sit-fast," and It Is necessary to dissect the portion *>f healthy skin in the centre from its connection with the muscles, iu order ihul (lu- whole may heal. Sum.- limes, instead of scalding, tlie result nf pressure by the collar Is the formation of an abscess. Abscesses are of two kinds! <>nc contains a reddish. Watery Ilu id, und Is culled u "serous ubscOBB"; the other contains pus, and is called a "purulent abscess," The former kind forms quickly. An enlargement is noticed; manipulation reveals a soft, fluctuating t iniu a- containing a Huld, just underneath Lho skin. A purulent abscoss forms mow slowly, The horse evinces soreness when ho Is nsked to draw. Au examination reveals a swotting on ihe shoulder.

If pus, even lu smnll quantities, lie found, the above treatment will effect a cure, and tho onlnrgeinonl will gradually disappear (oven though the walls of the abscess i.r thick), during the healing process; bul If there he no pus present, the enlargement is a til■— rous tumor, and the only treatment Is dissection, which should bo performed by a veterinarian. In case ..f either abscess m* tumor, rest, or working with a breast collar, is necessary, Another trouble often noticed Is sore necks. The neck just under the collar becomes sore. This is caused by weight or pinching of the collar, and appears especially on horses that are worked i*> machines with tongues, it often takes the form of the appearance <*f a succession of holts. Treatment consists in lessening the weight as much as possible, lancing each boll, and dressing with the above-named lotion or other antiseptic ami astringent, When intelligent and careful preventive measures, as those above mentioned, and the removal of the collars at meal limes, are observed, sore shoulders should be seldom seen.

State after Stale rolled by the window of the Sleeper, and Miss Rackerman watched them With no interest other than lhat of a weary checker at a long-distance race. Even beyond Chicago, farther east than she had been in thirty years, she looked out of the window apparently for the sole purpose uf counting the miles. Fellow travellers found her gravely courteous as an Indian chief, hut as unresponsive; her only reading was of the dally papers aud the time-table. She alighted on the station platform in the small college town among the New England hills, and accosted Denny Keefe, hack-driver. "You take me to .Murray's, quick!" she said, calmly, and mounted the vehicle. Mr. Keefe blinked helplessly at a gur- geous sophomore, wim hud engaged him to convey a trio of ladles to the ZetQ Mu house. "The—the president's, ma'am?" faltered Denny. "Whip up!" said Miss Ilackerman. The president was dosing on his piazza when Keefe's hack clattered down th»* sedate slieel like a runaway coal-truck.

"Whose is that loud voice on the piazza?" "Why, It's Aunt Snar!" blurted young Kackerman, listening. He made an effort to raise himself mi his elbow, but Miss Lyle restrained him. His excitement seemed to displease her thoroughly. "Surely, William, your aunt—surely Miss Susan could not have come so soon, and without warning!" "Vou don't know her yet.

She fluttered down the stairs In a gentle spasm of IndiRnatlon. It was outrageous that her adored invalid Should be thus disturbed.

In the Western woman's breezy judRment. they all began oddly to resemble the lettuce sandwiches—flat, narrow. Insipid. Miss Rackerman frowned. She observed also that Miss Lyle was the constant centre of loquacious attention. "And llow is your patient, dear Miss Violet? We are dreadfully worried— young Mr. Rackerman is such a favorite—quite like one of us already. Is he not? So fortunate that you are qualified to nurse him! Ves, Dr. Pelham says that your management of the case Is wonderful." A frock-coated senior offered to .Miss Rackerman a diminutive rIuss of pale iced coffee, "I reckon not, thank you," she responded, "Excuse me. sir, but I'm dry as the under side of the chuck- wagon, Where's lhe ilrinkiim water at?" The boy, who waa a Rood fellow. laughed frankly; and Miss Rackerman's face brightened. When he returned bearing a generous tumbler of water, she told him lhe story of tho time when her beef round-up camped on Alkali creek. He laughed again, slapping his leR. Several other boys joined him. antl Aunt Snar drew a breath of relief. "Shake hands, men," she requested quietly. "I'm Susan P.. Rackerman, of "lied Gap.

With her grave, drawling voice sin related a second anecdote to uproarious appreciation.

"Wasn'l it bully. Murray, when the teacher—" "What's that?" hrolte In Aunt Snar. "Is your name Murray? Are you Iln president's youngster?" one of Ihr boys bowed.

"Rut—hut you're mistaken," stammered Murray, aghast "II was In a Ratne i- i football, you know." "Gnmo or nn game." retorted Miss Rackerman, "you laid him up without giving him a chance. That seems to be the sort of gome It Is. and It doesn't ro with me. mister!" Somebody tittered; the group promptly disbanded; young Murray flushed angrily.

Tin- Octobor moon silvered the roofs of llie demure vllliiRc. Miss Itackerman shook her brawny list at Ihem. Their smug look of conscious superiority reminded her of the people at the reception. "You've stole my boy!" said she. "You, and your Bhrugglng shoulders and dove-colored silk! What use to you Is a back-number frontiersman, like me? Hello!" She dodtrod behind the window- frame. Through the shrubbery of the lawn below her moved lhe lithe figure of a man. Miss Rackerman saw his middle-aged, sallow face, with its sleek moustache. He picked up a pebble and tossed the stone unerringly, as If he had done It before, against the window of the next room—the room occupied by the mistress of lhe cottage. "Who's he?" soliloquized Miss Rackerman. The sash was raised; there was a whimper of abject terror. The man smiled insolently, and pointed to the front door. Miss Rackerman heard a flutter in the hall, like that of a frightened bird. She peered out of her own window cautiously. The man had vanished. As she crept down the stairs. Miss Rackerman's bare feet made less noise than those of an Apache stalking an emigrant woman; nor was the resemblance otherwise incomplete. In the pocket of her dressing-gown she carried a hair-triggered utensil without 'hich she would no more have travelled than without a tooth-brush.

I will give you money- anything!" So,, you have sense," Eornlo said, with a mean laugh. "He ijuick, I advise, and—name nt a saint!" A moonbeam Illumined Miss Rackerman's face as she crossed tho threshold. Eornio's alarm was brief. He grinned contemptuously at the uncouth dressing-gown and Ihe dishevelled mop of grayish hair. "Go away, old fool!" he said scornfully. "You get right up oft' the floor, ma'am!" Huld Snar placidly. '"Tnlnt no place for women. What for a game is this greaser trying lo work on you?" "I can't—can't tell!" gasped Miss Lyle. "Yes, you can, ma'am. Blackmail? Vour sister?" The poor lady nodded assent; Die othor's masterful eyes compelled her. "Agnes- Agnes wrote hlui lovo-lot- tors years igo," she sighed, almost in- OUdlbly. "lie 1ms made us made me support him.

Miss Vl'let, ma'am, will you please frisk him for his gun?" The request was made in the manner of a lady askliiR for a cup of tea; but Miss Lyle, reeling limply against Ihe wall, was more panic-stricken even than Mr. Pornio, Both of them stared at the revolver as If it were an un- caged tiger. "Shucks, you needn't be ufeared of this Mexican;" sniffed Miss Rackerman. "Me and Jeff Crotty clause a dozen cheap greasers like him off our range every winter." She ran her left hand carefully over the hypnotized For- nlo. "Why, the no 'count idjut ain't heeled!" she exclaimed, in some sur prise. "What do you think of that?" Tliere was no time for reply. A thready. Insensate wail drifted down ward from an upper room. "Aunt Violet! Aunt Violet! Aunt Violet!" "Rill's having a bad spell," commented Miss Rackerman. Without lowering her pistol, she turned to Miss Lyl> "You'd better hurry up-stalrs, Vi'lct," she said. "Bill's your job now, you know." A tremor fn her utterance deceived Pernio, who lurched a step forward. "Violet stays where she is!" he blustered. "She does, hey? Put up your arms again!" "What will you do with him?" cried Miss Lyle. "What will you do—Susan ?" "Never you mind! I've found something at hist in your ornery country that 1 can do, hy gravy! t an't so useless, after all!
