of attractive girls served coffee and
ices. Receiving were the president,

Rumelin residence was aglow with
beautiful and fragrant blossoms, a gen
eral decorative scheme of pink being
developed throughout the rooms, with
the exception of the library, where
flaming red roses and blossoms were
efectively arranged. The charming
debutante was never more attractive.
She was attired in a handsome gown

embroidered net. and she carried a
dainty Colonial bouquet of pink rose
buds. About 200 handsomely-gowned women

"7HAT could we do if we had?"
VV asked Amos.
"We could remove one of the stones
from this wall and look out. In that
way we might be able to let one boy
down and he could find out what had
happened?"
"Yes. he might do that, but it old
Pumpkin Head caught him we would
n,ever know," said another.
But after a while it was decided to
try, and each boy worked on one stone
with his hands, and then another took
his turn, until at last the stone be
came loose, and in a short time they
had removed it.
But there was a second and a third
stone, and it took another day before
they saw the light through the open
ing. One boy looked out, but he quickly
drew in his head. "We are above" the
tops of the trees," he told the others.
"The very thing." said Amos. "We
can let a boy down into the tree and
he can take a look about first and I
will be the one to go. for I have
climbed trees all my life, and it can
not be worse than starving, no matter
what happens.
They formed a chain by taking hold
of hands, and Amos was let down int
the tree, and alter a while the boy who
was watching through the hole in the
wall saw him climb down and disap
pear. They waited what seemed to
them hours and then they heard the
key turn in the lock and the door
swung open.
"I have not heard a sound or seen
anyone," Amos reported. "The door
was open and I could see something
shining in the hole we dug. but I did
not stop to look."
All the boys went out and along the
hall as quietly as they could, listening
every now and then, but nothing could
be heard.
They went first to the room where
they had always eaten, and found a
good hot dinner on the table, whicn
they hastily ate.
Then they felt more courageous, and
went downstairs. In the hole they
could see the chest, which had been
opened, and quantities of gold in it was
scattered along the ground to the door
and along a path around the house,
as though some one had dropped it as
they carried it along.
The boys followed the shining tracks
and came to a hole in the ground like
a cistern, and when they looked in
there was old Pumpkin Head lying at
the bottom with gold all around him.
One of the boys' climbed down and
found that their master was dead. He
had come upon the place where he in
tended to hide his treasure before he
had expected, and fallen in on his
head, and there he was dead among
the gold he had made the boys work
so hard to get.
The boys filled in the hole without
removing the gold and covered it with
stones; then they looked over the
strange place to fincl out who cooked
the meals, and in a hut of stone not
far from the house they found an old
man who was deaf and dumb cooking
supper.
"He has cooked every day, I sup
pose," said one boy, "for there was no
one to tell him not to, so that accounts
for the dinner we found on the table
when we went there today."
As none of the boys had homes and
were orphans they decided to live in
me stone house and take the gold
which they found under the stairs, as
well as in the chest, for they had
worked for it and there was no one
to claim it.
How it came there thev never knew.
and the old deaf cook could only shake
nis neaa wnen they tried to make him
understand what they said. He lived
with the boys and cooked for them.
and seemed to be contented.
With the gold the boys had a com
fortable house built and lived happily
together the rest of their lives, and
the people who knew of them nniiori
them the Twelve Princes of the For
est. All travelers who passed that way
always found a welcome and good food
and shelter without paying for it, for
me iweive rrinces had more than
they could use and were glad to share
it with others.

Snapshots
Barbara Boyix
Interesting; Everyday People The
Sheep Rancher.
SHE was a large, muscular woman
who rather boasted of her ability
to walk 33 or 40 miles in the short
day of northern latitudes without feel
ing in the least fatigued; who could
carry two enormous cans of water up
a steep hill without a. quickened heart
beat or an extra breath; who could
nurse the sick lor days without rest
or sleep or showing signs of weariness.
She paid little attention to dress,
carelessly knotting her abundant hair
in a coil on the top of her head, and
wearing for the most part a mannish
shirtwaist and short skirt, neither of
them noticeable for style or fit.
You would pass her by in a crowd
as a hardy outdoor woman, used to the
hardships of ranch and camp, but lit
tle acquainted with the refinements of
social life.
Her experiences of outdoor life were
indeed interesting, and these alone
made her a woman out of the ordinary.
She had been born and brought up
on a large sheep ranch owned by her
parents. In fact, the greater part of
her life had been lived in a sheep
wagon, as the perambulating home of
some of these ranchers is called. As a
child of 6. she began to herd sheep
and she knows the lonely life of the
plains to its full. She has many adven
tures . to tell of cloudbursts and bliz
zard, of long hard rides in an effort
to save the sheep from some unfore
seen catastrophe. All this Is interest
ing, and" one could listen for hours
to these unusual pictures of life as
seen through a woman's eyes.
But by chance the talk some day
turns to Europe, and then a revela
tion awaits. For this Tjrawny, uncon
ventional outdoor woman knows Eu
rope like a book, in fact, better than
a book, for she brings to it the fresh,
unconventional viewpoint of one who
has passed her life in the open, with
the simple things of nature. And so
she sees Europe and its complex social
life as few see it.
And she has seen its social life. As
a young girl she was taken abroad
by a socially ambitious relative and
a "marriage was arranged," as she
laughingly puts it. between herself
and, first, a titled youth of England
for she has large means; and when
she broke it off, later with a count of
an old Austrian family. But her sim
ple, open nature revolted at the sordid
ness and artificiality of it all and she
ruthlessly upset all such arrangements
and sailed for home.
But she has much to tell of London,
Paris, Berlin. Vienna. Rome and of
fashionable life there in palatial hotels
and the homes of the wealthy and
titled. And if her tales of the open
are interesting, her tales of these sup
posedly exclusive social circles are
more so. She is keen and shrewd and
she very cleverly saw through their
pretended regard for her. "It wasn't
myself." she said, laughingly, "but my
sheep ranches translated into a bank
account that their affections were set
upon." She could laugh at their
maneuvers, though at the same time
she was disgusted by them.
At times she ruthlessly broke all
conventions and wandered the streets
of Paris,' picking up friends among the
young girl artists. In her unconven
tional Western manner, she would ac
cost any of them on the street whose
appearance appealed to her. In this
way, she made several good friends,
and through them saw the artistic and
unconventional life of Paris, in which
she found more genuine pleasure than
in the conventional circles in which
she moved.
And so she came home, having es
caped with her millions the clutch of
the aristocracy of Europe because of
her scorn for greed and falseness.
Her socially ambitious relative washed
her hands of her and she is now once
more living the life she loves in the
open, close to nature.
And to see her. hearty, jolly, sun
burnt, tramping about in her short
Mtirt and mannish waist you would
ver dream she could count her wealth

cow and calf, auto, 500 bushels of bar
ley, farm implements and a miscel
laneous lot of vegetables and other
stuff were stored.
Mr. Eldridge rushed in where the
mares were kept and attempted to cut
them loose, when a hired man opened
a door in another part of the build
ing, which caused the flames to sweep
down on Mr. Eldridge and forced him
from the building without saving any

the stallion, but was again forced away
and compelled to stand idly by while
