THE CHILLIWACK BOARD OF TRADE
A comprehensive scheme of publicity for the lower mainland as set
fortli in a communication lo the
Hoard of Trade by Messrs. Walker
llros. & Walker, of Hurnaby, met
with the approval of local boosters
at the regular meeting of the Board
on Wednesday evening lust. The
writers claimed that a persistent
effort was being put forth to side
track the tide of new comers to the
coast, to the detriment of the development of the Fraser Valley, lt
was proposed to create a publicity
officer at Vancouver, and also place
a man at Mission. The president of
the Board was selected to attend a
meeting to go into the matter
thoroughly with the Municipalities
concerned.
The post office committee recommended that tho office be not removed to other temporary quarters

building.
In reply to a letter from the
Secretary of the Board asking for a
reduction in lire insurance rates,
the Secretary of the Mainland Kire
Underwriters Association stated thai
tho matter would be taken up
shortly. At the request of thc
Board the secretary will givo a talk
on the lire insurance in tlie near
future.
The delegate of the Hoard to Ibe
Agricultural Convention recently
held at New Westminster, A. B.
McKenzie, reported to the Board.
The idea of the convention was en-

and profits by the middleman, this
working to the interests of both
piodueer and consumer.

Before leaving Vancouver on Saturday Sir William Mackenzie notified thc executive that the Canadian
Northern had acquired control of

proposed railway improvements iit
Port Mann could l»' proceeded with without father delay. The

long. Construction of the main
line eastward was started at Port
Kells the question of building an
independent line down to the railway bridge remaining in abeyanco
pending results of the negotiations

Prior to the construct ion of the

of the Caniulian Northern Inking

affects tho section botween the ruil-

foam-flecked muzzle. Behind, with a
gap * i tract*: and daylight between,
trailed tho laboring "ruck."

he c.mld here at least give his friend
the opportunity of finding him, since
at this point wore a few panels of

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

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

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.

seemed to him. a miracle, and (he

race, and now ber face was averted.

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.

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-

The man was in.i. l.y nature, siis-
ceptlble. Women as sex magnates
had little pari In his life cosmos, The

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

now. they were shaded into dark pools
of blue, hut he know they eould brlghl

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-

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

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.
"My Interest," the young man of the

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

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

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

"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

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.

BITING THE BITER
If the testimony offered by an English naturalist in Ceylon be given full
credence, then the cobra Is not so
dangerous n snake as popular reputation makes him, in at least two Instances, reports this naturalist, cobras
were chased by large birds, in neither
case did*1 the snake seem to have any
hypnotic power, such as is gerierally
credited to snakes in general.
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. The
nest was some forty feet above ground.
Presently a snake came out uf the
nest and started to descend, with the
now In hot pursuit pecking at the
cobra continually. The snake took
refuge about ten feet down in a clump
of dead terns from which it was chased
out by the crow. It came from branch
io branch until it reached a large horizontal limb, which stretched out about
twenty feel.
Here th** snake w i.- it l great *i*s-
advantage, Inasmuch as it could noc
turn upon the crow. The latter f.-'ein-
ed fully to appreciate tiie -muau.jn and
its tactics were excellent. It would
peck hard at the spine .:!<;■..- • U_a
tail and then peck n*?ar tha **:: i •. * I
neck. At each peck pc'en .tt the

INFANT MORTALITY is somethins frightful. 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

and It Is necessary to dissect the portion *>f healthy skin in the centre from

by a veterinarian. In case ..f either

a breast collar, is necessary,
Another trouble often noticed Is sore

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,

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.
SHEEP INDUSTRY IN MANITOBA
During the past ten yea*"8 Cnnada'p

AN EGG ROMANCE
It was only a year ago that n young
tri in New Jersey was the hero of a
real romance. She and lot* mother
owned a little chicken farm In tl t-
sklrls of a largo town. They had seen
better days. The father bad Just died
after disastrous failure lu Inisiness,
and the daughter had heel) educated
lu ii fashionable boarding school nnd
was unfitted for any smt of work.
The mother was brave and resourceful
and decided tn move lnio the country
nnd raise poultry, she carried out hor
plan and was sufficiently successful to
make both ends meet.
One day while thc girl was packing
(he white oggm. Mhe suddenly wondered
who the people would be who would
rat those very eggs. Would they be
Interesting umi charming ami rich or
deadly common ntul poor? She did
wish sbe might know the future nf
each egg. Then the Idea came to her
like u Hash, the Idea upon which wns
tu be bulll the romance of her life;
and she got nn Indollblo pencil and
wrote across thc pure, smooth surface
of several eggfl her name, "EKHth Putnam,-— , New Jersey, aged nineteen
years, blue eyes ami goldon hair."
The eggs were sealed ami sent forth
and tin* girl forgo) nfler n time her audacious act; then about a month later
a letter came to her In a strange hand
It read:
"Dear lOdiili Putnam: Tim fact
that your eyes are bluo and your hair
golden makes mo anxious to see If yuu
are as charming us your neat penniau-
Hhlp, Tlu* egg which you Inscribed so
cunningly was devoured by mu u wook

1 am coming to llud you and son If
you nre us choorlng as your message.
I shall appear on Wednesday next in
a rod automobile with a siren toot.
Adieu till then. Maurice ,"
The girl was naturally lu a great
Mutter. It was August and very warm.
She starched her one white gown and
washed uul a blue ribbon to ndd to her
charms. She was really very pretty.
She dared not tell her mother of hor
audacious act, hut she kept out of
doors near the country road, watching mid waiting, Alter a time she
heard a weird, wild sound and knew
il was (he siren horn, and lhe blood
rushed Into her cheeks as thc big red

STANDING In tho doorway of hor
ranch-house, Miss Rackerman

cowboy had just brought to her. For
an Instant her square chin wavered
and her shoulders drooped; then she
sharply pulled erect hor lean, strong

touched the top of the door-ease.
"Jeff Crottyl" she shouted. '"Liza!

promptly from the corral near by; and
fat Eliza, the cook and maid of all

it a peaceful upper chamber of the
cottage, William Rackerman lay on a

Miss Lyle, looking like a Dresden

Miss Rackerman accompanied her down

The lady of )Wt\ Clap had only her travelling-dress, but she never thought of

tin' ear. There Is mucli dust mi ton
miles or a Nebroakn. road, and Jeff
Crotty had nol spared the horses. Dut
after Miss Rackerman had ropalrod
damages, the people's smiles became
glancoB of admiration. Uncomfortably
dressed women coveted her roomy, drab
gown; observant men noted wilh approval the way in which she transacted business with tho conductor, Gazing at her. a wrinkled actor nudged
his manager, and asked him If ho remembered Charlotte Cushinaii.
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. A black leather valise shot
out of the carriage door to the sidewalk. A talk woman In a brown slouch
Imt shot herself after it. and flung
Denny a silver dollar so forcibly as
nearly to knock hint from the box; ami
President Murray descended the piazza
steps with more than ills usual dlg-
n Ity.
"I'm Susan It. Rackerman. of Red
Gap." announced the woman. "Where
Is he?"
"Ah. yes, madam—your nephew William, of course. I'm glad to say lhal
young Rackerman is—ah—out of Immediate danger."
"Thais Rood! Where is he?"
The president pointed with his eyeglasses ni Hie green roof of a solitary
cottage, perhaps a quarter of a mile up
the wooded hillside.
"William is in his own room at -Miss
Violet l.yle's," said he. "We possess
no college Inllrmary, as yet; but, fortunately, liule Miss Lyle. William's
landlady, has had experience as a hospital nurse. He could have no better
antl more efficient cure than al his
Aunt Violet's."
"His which?"
"William calls her 'Aunt Violet.'" ex-
plnlned .Murray, smiling. "You see he

years, ami lhe last summer vacation.

"Rill never tailed her lhat name to

Miss Rackerman leaned backward, sn

Little Miss Lyle, herself resembling a
delicate autumn flower, In her pink
dress, leaned forward from the rocklnR
ehair beside the bed.
"There's the door-bell, William," she
said. "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

"Vou don't know her yet. Aunt Violet." said the boy. with a hysterical
laugh. "1 wonder If she can hear me.

"Hush, dear!" entreated Miss Lyle.
She fluttered down the stairs In a
gentle spasm of IndiRnatlon. It was
outrageous that her adored invalid
Should be thus disturbed. Miss Lyle's
aristocratic taste was offended by the
Slangy contraction of the intruder's
surnames.
"Snar!" she thought. "How vulgar!" ami she turned lhe knob of the
front door.
"I'm Susan R. Rackerman, of Red

president could introduce her. '"I want

She picked up the travelling-bag, The
president wiped his perspiring forehead; he was afraid lo took at Miss

"Too far from my boy," decided Aunt
Snar. "Don't worry, ma'am. Any old

"Rough ll- here?" shrilly Rasped .Miss

"Excuse me, ma'am, hut I'm dry,"
said she io Mrs. Preece. "Where's the

The professor's wife moved away
from her, creaking formidably. At
brief Intervals, Miss Rackerman observed that other acidulous matrons

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

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

Tin- Octobor moon silvered the roofs

"You've stole my boy!" said she.
"You, and your Bhrugglng shoulders

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.

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,

"Now. Miss Vl'let, ma'am, will you

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

Tliere was no time for reply. A

"Aunt Violet! Aunt Violet! Aunt

"Rill's having a bad spell," commented Miss Rackerman. Without lowering her pistol, she turned to Miss Lyl>

"My dear Violet." tin* man was saying.
"Quiot—be quiet!" sobbed Miss Lyle.
The man chuckled unpleasantly; he
hml an unpleasant, siu-iii voice, and a
foreign accent.
"There is nothing for mc to be afraid

In the sick-room above, young Rack-

slumber at the touch on his temples
of Miss Lyle's soft fingers. She look
her place In the roeklng-ehitlr by the

Gradually an Ineffable sense of security comforted her. Mindful of her
grim guardian In tlie parlor, sbe
breathed q prayer of gratitude. It
never entered her head io question or
forecast Miss Rackerman's doings; Ilk.*
a .lillil. she felt Insliiu lively that she
was safe. The reaction from her distress and fear was so great that It af-
feeletl hOT as would an opiate, and at
length she lightly slept.
The sun was rising when .Miss Lyle
nwnke. She (pencil the bedroom door.
A small packet of papers had been
propped against the bottom of It. A
Dote under the string was addressed to
her; antl Miss Lyle lietween tears ami

"Friend Violet:
