The sunshine of thy t jage made;
Thru, cpider-Iikr, the captive caught
In meshes of immortal thought.

Day after day I pats thee by,
Till, suddenly, a rabtler art
Enshrined thee in my heart of heart.

lh' boy rolled ofl

t' ease th' sorrel's

"Rope yer besl
borse, Steve, an'
an' load all yer guns I fer tu's fifty Pie
gan imps howlio' down the valley,
gatberin' stock an' ewearin' t' raid an'
burn th' Silver Concho!"
"Th Silver Concho 1" cried I, weth a
gasp o' horror. I've been called "Cceur
d'Or Steve," hunter an' guide, in th'
North Country since long before t'a' cat
tle ranches came, an' it's not hi n' new fer
me t' fight redskins; but if th's a crea

"An, now, Steve, if y'U give me a
fresh horse fer y' c'n see thet Slonle'a

roundup in. I don't reckon y'U want t

an' it's fifteen miles over,
Thet pinto o'

th' boys won't cave up their stock none,
comin' back, so y' c'n count on help in

hold th' redskins level thet long."
Lord, bow we did work! Itopin', an'
f addlin', fiillin' and strappin' on ca'tridge
belts, an'charin' guns an' Wincaeslerj.
Thankin' th' Lord thet th' ca'tridge keg
was raore'n half full; an' loadin 'em
into every corner o' our clothes, where
we r.'d make 'em stick.
We made a quick job o' fr, fer I knew
th' nature o' th' red cusses I'd got t deal
weth too well t' take any cuauces on

though he'd brought his heavy coacli

Ben down th' big Canyon o' th' Argali,
a thing hardly ever done before or since,
t' bring th' news; an' counted on bavin'
got a few hours over th' thievin rascal?, j
upper basin.
Twas nierh sundown when our
broncos struck th' trail down th' coulee,'
on a slingin' lope; an' I took a look back
at my sh- -k, thinlvin' most likely it 'u'd
be in ashes before I saw th' place ag'in.
Th' littlo valley lay quiet enough.
'Twas late in th' full, an' a touch a'
smoke in th' air made me think o'
burnin' ranches. A jackra'obit skittered
by a headlous: race its if wurnin us t
huiry along. An' th' chatter o th'
prairie dogs had a sort o' piercin', un
natural sound. Our horses' feet seemed
t' keep time to a sort o'June "Pic;;n3,
ride fast! P.egan3, ride fast!" beas out
by th' click o' tu' iallin' hoof?, nu tu'
hoot o' an owl chimed in on t'a' same
key.
Lcn's road lay th' same as mine fer a
ouple o' miles, tut we scarcely spjko

get there!" he turned t th left aa
struck out fer th' big plateau in th' Low
er Lake basin, while I kept on don tu'
coulee t th' Silver Concho ranctihouse.
I didn't have t' put quirt or spur t'
my horse; he knew whut I wanted by
th tone o my voice an' th' touch o' my
band on tu' rein, an' was layin' o.'f th'
ground th' very best he knew how.
Twas six good miles from th' bund, aa'
it gave me time t study about th job I
had on bund. A white man always
feels like be c'd whip about five times
bis own weight iu redskins, but I knew
thet fifty of 'em an' Dlackfcct at thet
was a mighty big contract fer a man o
my size. An' then I thought about th'
woman, an' th' baby.
Y' see Perry Winston crime out here

Heathen Ciiineso thet did th' cookin',
letti'n t'a' table fer supper, an' cried out
t' Sirs. Winston, who cams outside t'
meet mc.
"Whut horses is tV on th' placet"
"Not one left," said she. "Perrj
lent orer fer Bueno yesterday, two of his
itring nave i aiiea lame ana one got a
kink la his Bosk. Cut what's the matter,
Steve, that makes you want to borrow?"
I tron;r off o' my own borse an' took
t look at him. Ilia bead went down aa'
his Banks was workin like a force-pump
with every breath; if I'd only saved him
up a little bo might o1 been able t' git u;

want no use t' think about thet now.
Call Wing Lee!'' cried I, catchin' uj
the baby thet came toddlin' up t' me.
"an' coir.o into th' big room. We've gol
t' barricade it aj'in ta' Piegansl"
The Silver Conano was one o' th' fetl
frame buildin's on th' Argall, made o
wme o th' first lumber ever turned oul
by th' sawmill over in Pine Tree gulch.
But whut they call th' "big room" was
'older n the rest, an was made o' hewn
log', well bailt an pointed, an' . weth
I good strong s'lutters t' th' doors an' win
dows. In th' first place Perry used it fci
' saddle room, but it was so Urge an' st
comfortable warm ia winter an' cool it
! summer thet his wife took a fancy to it
tn' how it was th' regular livin' room o
th' family. Twas far stronger than th'
rest o th' home, an' I saw thet there was
here our stand 'u'd have t' bs made.
They got into it through a narrow pas
lage way which was shut oil from th'
aiain' room by a good stout d or. Sioul
, enough; but uot like t' stand long ag'ic
1 th hatchets o' a dozjn Piegan braves!
An' I knew thct little entry was where
th' battle 'u'd bo fought out t' th b!oo Jj
end.
Well, we didn't stop t' think er talk
much, but just got hard at it, doin' t ie
work before us. Mrs. Winston din't
need t' bo told anything, she was sa
brave an' so ready; aa' th' Chinarain
buckled to in a way that I hadn't be
lieved was iu him. If he'd dodged into
some bolo er crawled out t' save his own
skin by givia' us away t' the B;ac!tfeet,
I shouldn't a wondered at it; but there
he wu wor'.iin' like a white maa;
helpin' me t' drig th mattresses oil o'
th' beds, an' j.im 'em ag'iu th' outii le
door, turnin' th' piaqp up on end t'
hold 'em in plice; an' crowd tU win
dows full o pillows an' bed blankets, an'
barricade 'em th' best we could weth lb'
rest o' th furniture; hopiu' t' deaden th'
force o" th ballets thet we knew M bj
flyin' like hail in a big storm before
long.
All this time Mrs. Winston had been
i ransacxin
th' men's quarters, th bunk-
house an' Perry's saddle room, an'
bringin' ia all th' guns an' ca'tridges she
could lay hands on.
She'd led Tartar into th safest cornet
an' close t' his head pulled her baby's
cradle, an' there th' little one sat crowin'
an' reachin' out her tiny pink fists t' th'
j tired broncho thet only blinked his eyes
at her, bein too dead beat by his eignt-
niile tun t' raise his head, though he
knew her well an' th' lumps o' sug"r her
mother 'd taught her t' feed him. An'
then, spreaJin' out a big t:ble, she gat
all th' guns together, a i putriu' ia frej'i
charges laid 'em out in order, rca ly t'

much more then thct. I looked at Mrs.
Winston.
" Steve,'aid she, "what is it? Can

"It's th' windows," said. I. "Th'

GOOD FOOD HOT THE DEAREST.
By slow process of cooling, such as
rtewing, brazing, etc., says
loa, it is possible to produce palatable
and nutritious food from the cheapest
cute of meat. If one will select the
fish that is abundant in that neighbor
hood where he lives, rather than the
rarer kinds, it may, with a littlo care
and skill in the preparation, be made
to rival the more expensive kinds.
Green vegetables are never cheap
when they first come, nor when the
season for them is nearly over; but
when the market is supplied in abun
dance they are not only cheaper, but,
being grown nearer home, are better.
It will be best, therefore, to use these
vegetables only when tht'y are cheap.
A fresh vegetable diet is not cheap in
a large city. Still frash vegetables are
necessary to perfect health, and they

FBESEBVX MAKING.
Only the most perfect and best fla
vored fruit should be used in making
preserves, says iaiza i-arser ia mo
Courier-Journul. x.quai quantities ui
fruit and sugar Bhould be used if the
preserves are to be first-class, though
fruit that is not acid may bo made with
less, but must be sealed in order to
keep. Small fruits should be cooked
slowly half an hour or more ; larger
fruits, pared, end put in tho syrup,
and cooked slowly until clear and ten
der. Small jars are best for preserves,
thereby prevent opening a larger quan
tity than is needed. Haste is necessary
in preserving, as the natural flavor of
all fruit is thus more readily retained.
Peach Preserves Pare good, firm
peaches, and remove the seed, make a
syrup of as many pounds of sugar as
fruit, in which boil half a dozen seeds
after cracking. When clear add the
peaches, and- cook gently for twenty
minutes, skim out the fruit, and 6et
aside to cool; boil th9 syrup until
thick, return tie peaches, and boil un
til clear. Put in glass jars.
Crab Apple Preserves Select perfect
ripe crab apples, put in a kettle, cover
with boiling water, to wmcn aua a small
lump of alum. Take the fruit from the
water, and rub the 6kin off with a
cloth, but leave on the stems. Strain
the water, add as many pounds of sugar
as vou have fruit, and boil to a syrup,
drop the crab apples in and cook slow
ly until clear. Tako up carefully, boil
the syrup low and pour over.
Citron Preserves fare on the outer
ikin. cut in halves, remove tho seeds
nd cut each half in small pieces. Put
them in a stone jar, add half a teacup
if salt to every six pounds of citron.
Cover with cold water, and set aside for
5ve hours j drain and cover with fresh
jold water. Soak two hours. Dissolve
i teaspoonful of powdered alum in two
juarts of boiling water, add the citron,
et boil five minutes. ' Drain. Make a
ryrup, allowing a pound of sugar for a
sound of frnit. Put in the citron, and
nmmer until tender. Sift carefully
xom the kettle with a skimmer, lay on
i dish and set in the sun two or three
lours. Add the juice of two lemons
!or every ten pounds of fruit to the
ryrup. Boil gently for fifteen minutes.
Put the citron in jars, and pour the
oiling syrup over. Watermelon rinds
nay be preserved in the same way.
Plum Preserves Allow equal quan
aties of sugar and fruit, add sufficient
rater to make rich syrup, boil and pour
ver the plums, let stand over night.
!n the morning drain off the syrup, put
n a kettle, add the plums, let boil half
in hour, take up, and put in glass jars.
Blackberry Preserves Pick the ber
ies over carefully, put a pound of fruit
o a pound of berries. Let stand with
he sugar over for fivo or six hours.
Soil slowly half an hour.
Orape Preserves Pick grapes from
he stems, pick and put in a kettle,
ook until the seeds are loose ; strain,
reigh with the skins, and to every pound
JJow a pound of sugar. Put the grapes
n a kettle, let boil, add the sugar, and
ok slowly until thick and clear.

The "Breathing' of a Locomotive.
The "breathing" of a locomotive
that is to say, the number of puffs
given by a railway engine during its
journey depends entirely upon the
circumference of its driving-wheels.
No matter what the rate of Fpeed may
be, for every one round of the driving
wheels, a locomotive will give four
puffs, two out of each cylinder, the
ivlinders being double.
The sizes of driving-wheels vary,
jome being eighteen, nineteen, twenty,
and even twenty-two feet in circumfer
ence, although they are generally mad
bout twenty feet.
The express speed varies from fifty
four to fifty-eight mile an hour. Tak
circumference of the
driving-wheel to be twenty feet ana ,
the speed per hour fifty miles, a loco
motive will give, going at express
Bpeed, 880 puffs per minute, or 52,800
puffs per hour, the wheel revolving
13,200 times in sixty minutes, giving
100G puffs per mile. Therefore an ex
press going from London to Liverpool,
a distance of 201 f miles, will throw
out 213,048 puffs before arriving at its
stination. "
Paring the tourist season of 1888
the journey from London to Edinburgh

Creaking Boots.
The creaking of a boot has nothing
whatsoever to do with the class ot
leather out of which His constructed.
It creaks for the following reasons:
Every sole of a boot is composed of
two separate pieces of leather. In
walkinir, these two pieces ot leather.
In spite of their being sewed firmly
together, often rub against each
other, and hence the noise.
But a boot does not always creak
at the sole. It mar como from the
heel, and then it Is caused by what
J is known as the "stlffener," or the
material which is put in to make the
leather which covers the heel stiff,
becoming loose and moving about.
The cure fur the creaking sole is as
follows: The second 6ole must bo
taken off, and some soft material,
like felt, placed between the two
soles, and thenceforth the boots will
be noiseless.
If it Is the heel that is at fault,
sewed in, and some French chalk
may be put In between It and the
leather, thereby lessening the iric-
J, .Mr hVnn i. JT
tion br which the noise is caused,
Sometimes standing the 60les of a
jair of creaking boots in oil for
twenty-four hours will have the de
sired effect, but this remedy is not
always successful.

The little Eden referred to is known
on every navigator's chart of the Pa

ern Adam who holds sway in It is a
former San Franciscan named J. U.
Morse. Ho is rex, chief, lord, or

a hnnnir recently arrivea nere
from a trading voyage to the South
Seas, and from her commander, Capt.
Molstad, quite an interesting account
of the white chief and his black
kingdom was received.
The location of Sophia Island U
considerably farther south than
either the Caroline or Gilbert group,
and the nautical position Is in lati
tude 10 deg. 45 min. south, longitude

At one time it was peopled by quite

tho HistmstoH native chief went into
'solvency for the benefit of his credit
ors principally, however, for the
: benefit of himself. He disposed of
! the kingdom to some unknown pcr
Bon and his subjects swapped land
lords. The new owner did not prove
j a pronounced success as a ruler, and
this time his second-hand subjects
became disgusted, and, taking to
their canoes, paddled away from So
phia to some friendly port in the
Gilbert group, where they could bo
well fed and well ruled at the same
time.
I Having nobody to rule and feeling
the weight and worthlcssness of his
ocean estate the boycotted owner
' looked about for a good "buy."
! It thus occurred that J. II. Morse
happened along in a trading schooner
one day and stopper at Sophia. After
a good deal of bartering the tract
changed hands a third time and fell
' into the possession of Mr. Morse in
' consideration of the sum of $3,000.

The barren spots in the Island were
covered with a growth of banana and
cocoanut trees in great abundance,
and the Island has been subdivided
into homesteads and plantations.
Houses were built and are still being
erected. The Island is rich in guano
beds, which form one of the chief
profits of its commerce with trading
vessels.
King Morse eoverns his small em
pire with gentleness. He carries hia
'code of laws in his mind, and does all
the nlanninir. ordering and execut-
ing. He does not fear a revolution or
' a Herman protectorate, for ho owns
' every foot of his territory. He is on
j the best of diplomatic terms with the
chiefs of Bularlari, Taputeweal and
other islands of note, and is generally
regarded as a power in iSouth Sea
politics.
Mr. Morse, who is well known In

man, and has for years been engaged

is perfectly contented with his lot
