And yet his tranquility was after nil only ail nppenrnnee. And npponriinees, g we know, nre often deceitful. Castleton was In lovo with Miss Pink, crly, and by some strnnge fatality he bad set this particular day and lioiir to declare bis pnsslon. As be walked lon swiftly the light of a suppressed emotion beginning to show In bis eyes. De endenvored to turn over In bis mind the exact language that would be most fitting for the occasion. It seemed so easy now. Tnt would !t be, face to face with the object of his adoration? That was the burning question. Miss rinkerly, on her part, was not nearly so tranquil ns her lover. She knew he was coming, nnd possibly she uspectod what bis errand might be. Youig women have n way of Intuitive ly divining thp precise psychological moment when the fate of another lies n their answer. Miss rinkerly' perturbation, bow ver. was not dun to this fact alone. This Interesting nnd beautiful young woman lived with her married sister, who n short time after Castleton bad telephoned of Ills approach bad been called down town suddenly to her bus band's office on some family business that required her signature. It hap pened on this particular afternoon that the baby's nurse was tnkwn. III. There wan nothing to do, therefore". but to place Miss PInkerly in charge of itie infant In the emergency. And as she had, while that phenomenon was held by the cook, only succeeded In itis- coverlng that Castleton had left his office for parts unknown, there was nothing for her to do but to wait his coming with the resignation of despair. As Castleton came up the front steps nnd rang the bell be heard an ominous wall. "Ah, he said to himself, "there's that baby. I hope they won't bring him down again to look at. Some peo ple don't know enough to keep their children out of lhe way." The ninld showed him into the drawing-room. The wall camp nenrer nnd nearer. Castletnu's heart sank. The curtains parted, and Miss rink erly, holding In her arms twenty pounds of chubby humanity, entered, an apologetic smile upon her face. "You'd better not stay." site snld. "I tried to reach you over the 'phone, but you had gone. My sister Is away, nnd the nurse Is 111, nnd I've just got to watch this youngster. Now you men 1te that sort of thins, nnd you'd bet ter run nlong. He's a dear little fel low. Isn't he?" The baby shrank back as Castleton approached, nnd this time gnve a gon uine, old-fashioned yell. Whrn he could bo heard, Castleton remarked cavalierly: "Not at nil I don't mind if you don't. Besides, I hnvo something Important to say to you." . Miss rinkerly hesitated. After nil. what did It matter? They knew each other pretty well by this time. "Very well," she said, "but we would better go up Into the nursery. If you don'l mind. His toys are up there." 80 up stairs they went. Castleton sat down on the side of a rocking horse. After nil, he thought to himself, why hasn't this the best time nnd place? "Dorothy," ho began, "I have some thing to tell you. You know I " It was evident that the lmly resented this Intrusion. Ho had seen Castleton attempt to take bis mint's hand, and his chivalry asserting Itself even In one o young he let out at the top of his voice. Miss rinkerly took him In hrr anus and soothed him, "N'nughtj-, bad man, go nwny," she exclaimed. "There, there, don't cry. I won't let him sotno near mo again." The baby quieted down, nnd Castle ton. who had begun to walk the floor, turned to his task once again. "Darling," ho began. Miss rinkerly glanced at the clock. "It's almost time for his mill:," she oWrved. "You know I will have to bent lils bottle. Would you, could you, "old him Just a few momeuts?" "Surely," Bald Castleton. "Here, old tnau!" After some coaxing, the baby, nl! miles, permitted himself to bo placed on the.knee of the stranger. Castleton Save him hi watch to play with, then ' keys. Then he realized the baby slipping off slowly but surely. To prevent this dlsnstor lis grasped the youngster with a regular golf grip. Im OMMIately there was n succession of urieki. jj1m pii,ery Bpr(uig lnt0 t)le room from the gas stove with a cry or Ir.rw. "What have you been doing to him?" u said almost suvngely. "Nothing," said Castleton. "I mere V held him together. Here, you take "m and I'll heat thut bottle." Ho went solemnly out luto the hall. here the bottle waa reposing in a "ucepnn full of hot water.

There are three general melh'.d.t o? throwing, with many .niuor variations of Individual hal.lt. The rope Is held In practically thp same way In every case. First is the plain, straight c:isr, noose swinging around above the bend from right to left, by a rotating wrist movement. Some "ropers' throw n small loop, hard nnd fast, almost 011 a level; others .-. larger, lazier kind, which nevertheless "arrives." The aim Is somewhat to thr rl','h' of the object to 1k roped ray n foot and a half on n twenty-five foot throw, the exact instance of release being gov erned by weight of rope. wind, velorl.y of swing, etc. Judgment comes In stinctively with practice. The rest of the rope la held coiled In the ot'.iei hand and released as fart as drsired two or three coils being rem In .',!. To "sr.ul." the rope (wind It nbout the pommel nfter casting) l:i the i-v st;int of time allowed is a t:l"k quia' as dit'.leult as throwing properly. Th'! Mexicans, with their large-dl.-uroict pommels, have to take only one lura the American pommel, being smaltc, requires two. The pommel o!'t"? smokes from the friction created, nnd is frequently deeply grooved and nl most burned by the rope. Th" impor t ant part played by the trained cow pony Is obvious. lie Is taught to sotiis back on his haunches the Moment Hit rope begins to tighten, nnd in many other ways materially to nsi.-:t lit.' master. The second method of throwing ! exactly the reverse, I. e the nois;- U swung from the left to right above tlip head before release. This is call"d tie "California throw." and poxslhly flv n little greater range. At any rare, one or two of the longest throwers I know use It. and I find it so myseb It may be only a personal result.
