"Then our only chance to save him Is to fill the barrel quickly. We must freeze him, and freeze him well, be fore It Is too late! By Jove! I’m glad I thought of It!” Stover turned to his men. “Four of you-all hustle up a couple hundred pound; of that Ice pronto! Crack It, an' fill the bar’l." There was a scramble for the door. "And there’s something else, too,” went on Berkeley. “ He’s being fed wrong for his last days of training, the Idea af a man eating lamb-chops, fried eggs, oatmeal, and all that debili tating stuff! Those girls overload his stomach. Why, he ought to have something to make him strong— fierce!" "Name it,” said Willie, shortly. “ Something like— like—bear meat.” “ We ain’t got no bear.’’ Willie looked chagrined. “ This ain’t their habitat,” added Stover apologetically. ‘‘Well, he ought to have meat, and it ought to be wild—raw, If possible.” “Their ain’t nothin’ wilder ’n a long horn. We can git him a steer.” "You are sure the moat isn’t too tender ?” ‘‘It’s tougher ’n a night ln Jail." "Good! The rarer It Is the better. Some raw eggs and a good strong vegetable—” "Onions?" "Fine! We’ll save him yet!" "W e’ll get the grub." "And he’ll eat it!” Willie nodded firmly. Stover Issued another order, this time to Carara. “ You ’n Cloudy butcher the wildest four-year-old you can find.

"I'd hate to see him lose; It would be a terrible blow to Miss Blake." Fresno shook his head doubtfully. "What about us?” "Oh, you can stand It—but she’s a girl. Ah, well,” the speaker sighed, “ I hope nothing occurs between now and Saturday to prevent his running.” “It won’t,” Stover grimly assured the Californian. "Nothin’ whatever is goin’ to occur.” “ He was speaking yesterday about the possibility of some business en gagement—” The small man In glasses Interrupt ed.

Italian Settlers A rrive to Settle In Catlow Valley *•* “Ths Idea!“ Miss Blake flushed faintly. "If you are, he has gone for a run. I dearly love to see him get up early and run, he enjoys it so.” “I have been baking a cake," said Helen, displaying the traces of her occupation upon her hands, arms, and apron, while Fresno, at sight of the blue apron tied at her throat and waist, felt that he himself was aa dough iu her hands. "I had a dread ful time to make It rise.” "If I were a cake I would rise at your lightest word.” “The cook said it wouldn’t be lit to eat," declared Helen. "I should love to eat your cooking." "Once ln a while, perhaps, but not every day.” "Every day—always and always. You know what I mean, Miss Blake— Helen!” The young man bent a lov er's gaze upon hla companion until he detected her eyea fastened with startled Inquiry upon his toilet. Re membering, he buttoned his coat, but ran on. “ This Is the first chancs I’ve had to tee you alone since Speed ar rived. There’s something I want to ask you.” "I—I know what It is,” stammered Helen. "You want me to let you sing again. Please do. I love morning music—and your voice Is so tender.” "Life,” said Berkeley, "Is one sweet—" “ What Is going on here?” demanded a voice behind them, and Mrs. Keap came out upon the porch, eying the pair suspiciously. It was evident that she, like Fresno, had dressed hur riedly. "Mr. Fresno Is going to slug to us,” explained the younger girl, quickly. “ Really?” “I am like the bird that greets the morn with song,” laughed the tenor, awkwardly. “ What are you going to sing?” de- Four Cowboys Were Staggering neath Dripping Gunny-Sacks. manded the chaperon, still suspicious ly. "Dearie.” "Don’t you know any other song?” “ Oh, yes, but they are all sad.” “ I’m getting a trifle tired of 'Dearie,’ let’s have one of the others.” Mrs. Keap turned her eyes anxiously toward the training-quarters, and It was patent that she had not counted upon this encounter. Noting her lack of ease, Fresno said hopefully; “If you are going for a walk, I’ll sing for you at some other time." “Is Mr. Speed up yet?” "Up and gone. He’ll be back soon." Then Mrs. Keap sank Into the ham mock, and with something like resig nation, said: "Proceed with the song.” V (T O B E C O N T IN U E D .) Still Willing to Be Imposed Upon. He had youth and much faith and Inexperience, but his good father took him Into his office to initiate him Into the mysteries of business. The second day he was at work a man came ln asking for financial aid, with a pathetic story about a sick wife at home and six helplessly small children without a crust in the house. The boy listened earnestly and then went Into his dad’s office to Intercede for the unfortunate man. He told the sad story seriously. The father leaned forward and peered Into tha outer office at the vagrant. “ My son, credulity Is one of thoso good things that die young—and It Is such Impostors as that man who make It so,” he said impatiently. “Why, when that man wet here last week he had eight children, according to his story.” "But, father, don’t you see,” replied the son tragically. "The other two probably died of starvation." Q u e e r F u n e ra l Customs. It would be difficult to find stranger funeral customs than those practiced by the Andaman islanders. The na tives actually drop the bodies of their parents Into the sea at the end of ropes and leave them there until noth ing remains but the bones, which they gather and hang from the roofs of their huts. It Is a common custom for a man to sit by the house and watch the bonee of some relative. This is the way they have of showing their love and rw spect The bodies are treated tn this fash ion so that the evil spirits cannot tease and pinch them. All that la left are the dried bones, and thaaa are placed high so that If the evil spirits wander Into the huts they will have a hard time to find them. If a bona Is carried away It means some bad spirit has seized It, and this Indi cates that some terrible calamity will befall the family.
