Among the Thistles
Hy HUSSKM. CLAYTON
Ordinarily, tho scene spread before
him a vast Bea of dusty brown pampas
gtass splotched Intermittently with thu
rose purple crowns of giant thistles and
stretching limitless to tho cloudless Ar
gentinian sky would havo held all Al
lan's attention. As It was, ho was won
dering who had Just shot at him anl
Why,
Suddenly, ns ho topped tho slight cle
v at Ion of a vizcacha mound, and even as
he saw with pleaBUro the low, flat
roofed buildings of the isolated ranch
house he was seeking, his horso plow
ing through some devious tunnel of thd
pralrie-dog-llko vlzcacha, stumbled, fell,
and threw hlB rider.
Fraser contrived to get clear nnd
had turned to seize the bridle when a
second shot put an end to tho animal's
struggles and n third grazed Fraser's
ankle. Instinctively he dropped, and,
concealed In tho grass, wormed his way
to a clump of thistles grown shoulder
high to a man on horseback.
After what seemed hours and was, in
fact, Beveral minutes, he discerned, rid
ing cautiously, a brigandish sort of per
son with peering eyes and rlllo cocked.
As he reached what Allan surmised was
tho dead horse, his vigilance relaxed
ror an Instant and Alan, his Winchester
raised, covered him from his screen of
thistles.
"Hants up I" he shouted, then tried to
recall what Spanish equivalent he should
hmo used.
Dut the sinister aperture terminating
a gun speaks nn Esperato universally In
telligible nnd the gaucho's nrms flew
wkyward.
Thus It was that Alan Traser arrived
at the Itancho Cordoba, riding an out
law's horse and driving a captive outlaw
hrtnrn him. And even as he wondered
if tho sprawling structure actually shel
tered tho fugitive WInthrop. on whoso
trail he had long casually wandered, n
young woman advanced through the
doorway and gazed questlonlngly upon
him. ,
Was It could It be what tho deuce
would a girl whom he had never seer,
look like when eight years had added
their changes to the description he had
of her. For an Anglo-Saxon, she was
dark. She waH also beautiful.
Then, In tho crude Spanish he had
picked up during hts brief stay in Ho
sarlo. Alan explained.
The girl nodded several times. At
his conclusion, she shrugged her shoul
ders nnd Indlcnted with a gesture of her
slim, browned hand the sullen prisoner
"Turn him loose," she bnde Alan per
emptorily, returning Spanish for Spanish,
and, as she hesitated, she stamped her
foot "We can provide you with an
other horse But look at our situation '
Little can we nfford to gain the 111-wili
of these wild Gauchos!"
And Alan, seeing tho point, obeyed.
That night, lying wnkeful on hl3
couch. Alan sifted, masticated nnd di
gested the scraps of Information, sonu
of which he had gathered as he roamed
about the corrals nnd garden, nnd some
of which had been told him by the dark
eyed Aldea during a brief talk In the
moonlit patio.
Aldea's father, the owner for many
years of Itancho Cordoba, was dend. Her
mother was an Invalid who kept to her
room and saw no one. The girl herself
was coment educated and spoke no Eng
lish. The ranch wns rapidly disintegrat
ing from neglect, although tnero was el
dence aolenty that at some time or other
considerable money had been expended
on the place.
That money ah! That money. Was
It. or was It not onco lying In the vault
of the Toronto Hospital Trust? Was
this ranch or u It mot 'the retreat
date of Alan Fraser's father, had fled
'lift. I.I.. l- k?., .... n1d J.llai.
WHU "JO WHO lillU IWeiYO-jeUI-VIU UtUIKII-
ter, and whom Alan, partly at his fath
er's behest nnd partly for the lark of
the thing and as an objective to a pro
longed vacation, had traced from one
place to another?
During the days which followed, the
not unwelcome stranger who brought a
touch of the outsldo world to the lonely
habitation found himself In a disconcert
ing predicament He was falling in love
with a girl about whom ho was greatly
In doubt as to whether she was one of
his own race with his own Inherited
traditions and wlthat tho daughter of n
thief, or whether she was the daughter
of a race In whose veins flowed foreign
blood Inducing unknown Instincts and
Inhibitions.
About one thing alone was ho sure
He wished Aldea would not ride alone
out on the pampas.
"I don't like HI" he said at length,
when their acquaintance had advanced
to at least friendship.
For nn Instant a fiery spark gleamed
In Aldea's eyes. "Senor," she begnn,
then checked herself and turned away
leaving Alan with the feeling thnt he
had presumed to dictate to n hostess,
who must already bo wondorlng the rea
son for his extended stay.
At lost arrived a morning when Alan
himself rode out to have It out with
himself To all outward seeming Aldea
was n daughter of Spain. Yet, as long
ns uncertainty remained In Alan's mind.
ho could not unrestrainedly throw open
the flood-gates which dammed his love.
Suddenly, rending tho morning air,
came a shriek. Spurring hts horse, Alan
rode madly, arriving nt a huge patch of
thlstlo to boo a girl Aldea I struggling
to snatch her bridle from tho hand of a
Gaucho.
Ho fired and tho girl's assailant
dropped, wounded In the leg Then,
"It's all right, Aline," ho assured her
tenderly.
It wns much later that Aldea, or Allnc.
from the shelter of his nrms. explain d
how her father had kept her oitt-o.-doors
to acqulro the dusky hue of a
native, had forbidden her to speak a
wonl of English; In short, had endeav
ored to obliterate all traces of his con
nection with the country he had dls
grnccd Only a gaucho tho one Alan
had captured and who had threatened
her had fallen upon her father's secret
It was to pay him hush money she rode
out upon the pampas.
Suddenly, Aline freed herself. "Tell
me," she demanded, "how did, you know?
You called mo Aline, my own name!"
"Darling," said Alan tenderly, "t knew
when, In your peril, you reverted to the
language of your childhood. 'Help
Help!' you called, and you called it

turned out to bo peanut butter, and the
territory to be covered was admittedly
on of tho hardest In the country th;
section betwetn Salt Lako City and
Cheyenne,
"I suppose It was because I had never
had any selling experience," Mrs. Law
Bon stated later, "but my first Idea In
coimectlon with tha butter was to dem
onstrate It precisely as I would like
to have It presented to me to prove the
claims made for It by getting It Into
tho home and letting people sample It
To make sure that this was done, I gave
parties for children during recess and
nfter school hours, serving crackers and
milk and peanut-butter sandwiches.
Then I impressed the name of the brand
of tho peanut-butter on tho little ones
and within twenty-four hours there
would be a big demand for the delicacy.
Of course, behind It all, I had the In
centive of my boys. I had to make good
for their sakes. There could be no
such word ns 'failure.' And there
wasn't, I'm glad to say. Yes, the work
N hard and the hours aro long but the
rewards are proportionately large."

IT IS AN INSPIRATION TO PAULETTE THE
WAY IN WHICH PHILADELPHIA WOMEN ARE
PROFITING BY HER SHREWD SHOPPING ADVICE.
MENTIONING PAULETTE'S NAME TO THE SHOPS
WRITTEN ABOUT HEREIN INSURES SPECIAL
COURTESY AND ENABLES PAULETTE TO OBTAIN
MUCH CHOICE SHOPPING NEWS FOR YOU NEWS
THAT IS USUALLY GIVEN ONLY TO THE "INITIATED."
This year the debutantes and the girls a bit younger
and a bit older will wear brown pony. Theodore Siefert,
that reliable furrier at 1426 Walnut street, has created
some beautiful little models, somo with collars and cuffs
of natural beaver, at specially Interesting prices of $250
to $376. Black pony coats for cither girls or mature
women are $250 to $450. By the way, Mr. Siefert is
remodeling any number of old pony coats for patrons,
at very moderate prices just now. I was immensely
impressed by some suede cloth coats in tan, brown and
gray, collared and in nutria and 'possum and lined with
soft leather if I drove a car I'd have one tomorrow!
The prices are unbelievably low $85 and $95 and the
coats are so good looking.
Have you noticed what thrilling prices a new shop
frequently offers when it makes its debut to the public ?
That is just what is happening at the Blue Jay Shop, 1227
Walnut street, tomorrow. I advise you to go eaily, for
indeed the shop is going to sell for this day only it3
best models at a third, a half and even in some instances
two thirds less than the usual prices. Of course, this is
just a generous "How do you do" to Philadelphia women,
but the shop is planning to carry on a policy of reason
able prices throughout its career and for the better
merchandise, too. I was astounded to see some good
looking models for as low as $6 in this group for the
gA-acquaintcd sale tomorrow. Perhaps, by buying here
you will be able to afford two new hats instead of one
how lovely! The models are of good materials well
designed and include hats for all occasions.
Praises be, maids arc becoming more plentiful! Ono
' indication of thi3 is the increased business of that long
established and best maids' uniform department in the
city at the shop of B. F. Dewees, 1122 Chestnut st.
Very special prices now prevail in that department.
English molytir uniforms, one piece, perfect fitting, black
or gray, sizes 34 to 44, formerly selling for $11.50, $12.75
and $13.50, are now $9.50, $11.50 and $12.75. White
aprons, with bibs and straps, for various maids, rick-rack
trimmed, $1.75 from $2.65; embroidery trimmed, $1.95
from $3. White uniforms for nurses are $5 and $6.
Maids' morning dresses of gingham and chambray are
$4.50 instead of $5. Smartest hair "bows" and caps aro
now $.08 to $.50. Even the maid of all work should be
vneatly uniformed, however inexpensive the garb.
A house without plants in fall and winter is cheer
less indeed, and here is a wonderful opportunity to get
some "green things agrownin'" for half price and less
at the London Flower Shop, 1800 Chestnut street--because
room must bo made in the greenhouse
for new Christmas plants. The ferns are unusually lux
uriant and, oh, so cheap! Sturdy little Boston and holly
ferns in 4-in. pots are priced at a mere $.50 j strong
Bostons in 6-in. pots are $1 instead of $1.50; beautiful,
large Boston Scotti ferns in 6-in. pots are $2 instead of
$3, or two for only $3.50. Those lovely birds' nest
ferns in 5 and 6-ln. pots are priced respectively at
$2.50 and $4 instead of $3 and $5. There are cunning
little "wandering Jews," too, for only $.20 a pot, and
charming English ivy comes in $,20 3-in. pots, $.60 4
in pots.
