knew’there was nothing of the alarmist
in the ranchman's son, and she listened
to his advice.
As soon as it was decided that she and
Lois should seek safety at Silas Jordan's
cabin, three miles down the river, they
began preparations to abandon the sod
dwelling.
They had only Hero on which to make
the journey to Jordan's, Mr. Gilbert
having taken the horse and wagon.
They could not carry many articles
with them, but with Lee's assistance
they took the precaution to hide some of
their best goods in a small, dry cave up
in the rocky bluffs behind the shanty.
This accomplished, Lois made her
mother mount Hero, while she walked
beside her, her father's large revolver in
her hand.
Lee was quite resolve- that Lois
shonld ride his pony, and that he should
accompany them to tlie shelter of old
Jordan's blockhouse. But Mrs. Gilbert
would not permit it, as many others
needed the warning he was able to give
them.
“No, no!” she said kindly but firmly.
“We will get to Mr. Jordan's all right.
Go an<l do your duty, Mr. Hutchins;
warn, others and save precious lives if
yon can. Your pony is already tired,
and you mustn't go a yard out of your
way. There are many women and inno
cent little ones living over on Plum
creek whom you must warn against the
coming enemy. Go on, and God bless
you and tako care of you."
With a wave of the hand the women
dismissed him, and there was no alter
native for him but to ride off in the di
rection of Plum Creek settlement and
disturb peaceful homes with the trou
blous news which he carried.
Mrs. Gilbert and Lois had not pro
ceeded far. when the girl halted sudden
ly and said:
"Mother, we forgot one thing.”
“What is that?”
“That can of powder, setting under
father's bed. If the Indians find that it
will put a lot of ammunition in the hands
of our enemies.”
“That is true, Lois.”
“I’ll ran back and hide it with the
other things.”
Before her mother could reply Lois
sped up the little beaten path to the shan
ty. It took her only a few moments to
conceal the can in the cave; then she hur
ried back to Hero's side, and they re
sumed their inarch in the direction of
old Silas Jordan's cabin down the river.

EXPLANATION »-—Thu fcHbwing picture contains
faces, a man and his three daughter*.
Any one can Siad tlie man's face, but it is not so easy to dxstingukh th« faces of the three young ladies.
The picture v.-as published in a few nevsjiaperssomc time ago, and attracted considerable attention to
our standard remedies. We now offer a new prize competition in connection with it. As the sole object
is to introduce our medicines into nevj homes, those who entered the former competition are requested
not to compete ir this one. As to the reliability of “Th? Fcrd Pill Cb.,’’ and the estimation in which their
medicines are held in Toronto, Canada, %/here they are best known, patrons are idcrred to the daily
newspapers, wholesale dzug^istsand leading business houses generally of IcnXMC.
One and a half yards of two con
trasting shades of 4-inch ribbon, one-
quarter yard chimusilk to match either
ribbon, wadding and sachet powder
form this dainty "case. Hem each rib
bon; overcast tlie edges together for
eighteen inches, turning up nine inches
and overcasting the outer edges. Make
a bag of the silk, line with wadding,
perfume and slip into the ribbon bag.
Fringe the ends four inches, knot once,
and five inches above the margin of the
bag tie a long looped bow, folding it
over so«the fringed ends will meet the
bottom« of the bag.
Another useful and pretty trifle for a
»pare chamber is a shoe button basket.
The one illustrated is 6 inches long, 4
wide and 2 deep, lined with gray china
silk and pink rib
bon trimmings.
Two yards of rib
bon, a spool Of irrumr-'lno-l--

the ribbon on which the flax is strung,
bows being tied where they are fastened
to opposite corners. A tiny bag of wider
