A LORD ON THE RANGE By ROGER POCOCK ,MOJW had hotter own up ot once H J that 1 ain't u writer, but 0 I O was only raised to imncli )( cows, nnil not to tell stn- "WOf rles. And, onywny, this Iionceount story Which I have to toll is only about a British lord fchleh I met with once in Ari sona. It lays no claim to Sunday-best English, but only stakes itself out for leing truth. Away buck In 'St., me being restive In old Texan and wishful just to see tho (.can. I pulled out on the long trail for Cnllforniu. In the lli-Ht hundred mile or so I was no way adventurous. I reckon the sood traveler sliles clear of dan gers before they come, and the most excitements happen on the worst man's Journey, .still, .sometimes a danger comes along pressing and Insists on getting right In the way. Before I left Texas a bad man tried to get my outfit, pointing his gun from behind a rock, but he was hurt when we part ed and needed a surgeon bad. Then, In New Mexico, u bear hap pened Into tny camp, and, not dis turbing me, politely walked oft with my provisions. Further on, the wuter boles seemed to stray out of my course a whole lot, or else Hmy saw me com ing along thirsty and dried up cau tious Near the edge of Arizona one of my ponies died of rattlesnake, ag gravated by a bullet through the head. Still, on the whole. I didn't get sculped by Indiana or wiped out by bonier rntHiu:s or diminish'! by hunger and thirst to any great extent. The bet ting was in favor of my winning through to the Pacific Ocean. The day after n:y little mare's death 1 was riding along ami driving tic pack horse, when I h"ard in the silence the small voice of a rille far on" to the left. Maybe some hunter was miss ing a ilccr in the distance, sj I pointed thut way to inquire. After a mlh' or so I heard the rifle sp:a!;in,.; ug.'iii. and three guns answered, spluttering quick ami excited. That sounded nighty like a disagreement, so I con cluded I ought to be cautious and rob my tail at once for foreign parts. I went on slow. Hearing a little hill. Again a rifle shot rang out from just beyond that hill, and two shots an swered muzzle-loading guns. At the same time the wind blew fre.-di from the hill, with a whiff of powder, ami something else which made my horses shy. "Ileal) bad smelll" they snuf fled. 'Must look at that:" they sig nalled with their ears, "lglil" they snorted. "Git up!" said I, and charged the Hope of the hill. Near the top I told them to be good or I'd treat them worse than a tiger. Then I went on afoot with my ritle, crept up to Ihe brow of the hill and looked over through u cluum of cactus. At the foot of the hill, two hundred feet below me, there was standing water, a muddy pool perhaps half an ncrc widu, and Just beyond that on the plain n burned out camp fire be side a couple of canvas-covered wag or.. It looked as If the white men there had Ji'-t been pulling out of ramp with their teams all harnessed for the trail, for the horses lay, some dead, some wumded, iuied up in n struggling heap. As I watched, a rifle shot rang out from the wagons, filmed at the Li II i .-, i i lo, and when I looked right uown I could see nothing but lo -se rocks scattered below the slope. After I watched a moment a brown rock moved. I caught the shine on on Indian's hide, the gleam of a gun barrel, ('lone by was another Indian, painted for wnr, and beyond him a third lying dead; so I counted from rock to roek tfntil I made out thirteen of the worst kind of Indians Apaches, nil edging away from cover to cover to the left, while out of the wagons two rllles talked whenever they saw anything to hit. One rifle was slow and cool, the other scared and panicky, but neither was getting much meat. For a time I reckoned, sizijig up the whole proposition. Whi!" the Apaches down below attacked the wagons, their sentry up here on the hill had forgot ten to keep a lookout, being too much Interested. He never turned until he beard my horses cluttering up the rocks, but thin he yelled n warning to his crowd nnd bolted. One Indian had til 'd to climb the hill against me and been killed from tha wagons; now the rest were scored of being shot from above before they could reach their pojiles. They tire making off to the left, In s-arch of their ponies. OH a hundred yards to the left was the sentry, u boy with u bow and ar row, running for nil he was worth across tho plain. A hundred yards behind blin, down In a hollow, was a mounted Indian coming up with a bunch of ponies. If the main body of the Apaches got to tinlr ponies they could surround the hill, charge and gather In my scalp. I did not want them to talie in much trouble with uie. Of course, my first move wus to up and bolt along the ridge to the left, until I gained the shoulder of the bill. There I took cover and said: "Abide with mo and keep me cool. It you please," while I sighted, took a steady bead and let fly at the mounted In dian. At mjr third shot he came down flop on his pony' neck, and that was my first bird. The bunch of ponies melt his blood and stampeded pro miscuously. Tha Apaches, being left afoot, couldn't attack me none. If they tried to stampede they would be shot from the wagons, whlio I hovered unpleas antly above their line of retreat, and If they stayed I could add up their scalps Ilka a sum la arithmetic. They were plumb surprised at me and soma discouraged, for they knew they were going to have disagreeable tlmea. Their chief rose up to howl, and a shot from the wagona lifted him clean off his feet It was getting very awk wart for those poor barbarians, and one f them boUted a rg on his gun Surrender? This Indian play was robbery and murder, and not tile hon est game of war. The man who ban pens imprudent Into his own bear trap Hr going to get much chance by claiming to lie a warrior and putting up white llags. The game wan bear traps, and those Apaches had got to play hear traps now. whether they liked it or not. There were onlv two white folks left alive In the wagons, and one on the hill, so what use had we for n dozen prisoners who would lie low until we gave them a chance nnd then murder us prompt: The man who reared up with the peace flag got n shot from the wagons which gave him peace eternal. Then I cloved down ivlih my rifle, taking the Indians lv turns as they tried to bolt, while the ipilet gun in the wagon camp arrested fugitives, and the scary marksman splashed lead at the hill most generous, out of six teen Apaches. wo anil their boy got away Intact. Hire damaged and the rest were gathered to their fathers. When It was all over I felt unusual solemn, running my paw slow over my head to make sure I still hud my scalp, then collected my two ponies and rode around the camp. Then I ranged up with a yell, lifting my hand to make the sign of p-uee, and n man came limping out from the wagons, lie carried his rifle and had u yearling son by the puw. The man win tall, clean built and n? gold stock for certain: but his (lollies were in the lo-and-iiehold style a deer-stalker rap, pane of glass on the off eye. stand-up collar, spotty necktie, boiled shirt, riding breeches with puffed sleeves (most amazing), and the legs of his lie. its Ml IT like a brace of stovepipes. His near leg was all bloody and tied up with a tour nlqwet handage. As to his hoy, .T i til. that was Just Hi" quaintest thing in Mi" way of p;;ps ever saw loose on the stock r.irge. I.- was knee high to a dawg. but ..;ii"il h;.; gun ii::, a man and Ionised as wid" awake as a little fox. I woad -red if I could tame him for a pet. "How d'ye do?" squeaked ihe pup. as I steppt'il down from the saddle. I allowed I was fecli'i'j good. "I'm sure," said the man, "that we're obliged to you and your friends on the hill. In fact, very much obliged." Hack in Texas I'd seen water go to sleep with the cold but this man was cool enough to freeze a boiler. "Will yrn er ask your friends," he drawled, "to come down? I'd like to thank them." "I'll pass the glad word," said I; 'my friends is in Texas." "My deah fellow, you don't aw mean to say you were alone?" "Injuns can shoot." said I, "but they cayu't bit." "Two of my men are dead, nnd the third is dying. I defer to your er experience: but I thought thev could -er-hit." Then I besnn to rechoi I'd been somewhat hazardous in my gun play. It made me sweat to think. "Well," I said, to be civil. "I cal' late I'd best introduce myself to you alls. My name's Chalkeye Davies." "I'm Lord lialsiiuiinoii," said he, mighty polite. "And I'm the Honorable Jim Uu Chesny," squeaked the kid. I took his paw and said I was proud to know u warrior with such heap big names. The man laughed. "Well, Mr. r.alslmmioji." says I. "your h.or.si s Is rcni;u:i,s, and the near fore-wheel of the wagon is sprung to bust, and them Apaches has chipped your lalg. which lfs broke out bleed ing again, so I reckon" "You have an eye for detail," he says, laughing, "but if you will ex cuse me now, I'm rather busy." He looked right into my wyes, cool nnd smiling, asking tor no help, ready to rely on himself If I wanted to go. A lump came into my throat, for I sure loved that man from the begin ning. "Mr. Ibilsh.miion." says I, "put this kid on top of tln wagon to watch for Indians, while you dress that wound. I'm oft." He turned hU back oti me and walked away. "I'll be hack." said I. busy un loading my pack horse: "I'll be back," I called ufter him, "when I bring help." At that he swung sudden and came up against me. "Er thanks." he said, und grubbed my paw. "I'm awfully obliged, don't you know." I swung to my saddle und streaked off fur help. II. With all the signs and the signal smokes pointing for wur, I reckoned I could dispense with that oeeun and stray round to s"o the play. More over, there was this Itrltish lord, lost III the desert, wounded, helpless as a baby, game in a grizzly bear, ringed round with dead horses and dead Apaches, nnd bis troubles appealed to mo plentiful. I scouted around until 1 hit a live trull, then streaked uwny to Had people. I wus u bit doubtful If I hud done right In case that lord got massacred, mo being absent, so I rode hard and at noon star the smoke of a cuuip against the Tres Hermanns Mountains. It proved to be a cow camp, with all the boys at dinner. They had heard nothing about Apaches on the war trull, but wheu I told what I knew they came glnd, on the dead run, their wagous and their pony herd following. We found the lirltlsher digging graves for three dead men, and looking apt to need a fourth for his own use. "Er good evening," says he; and 1 began to wonder why I'd sweated myself so hot to rescue an Iceberg "Gentlemen," said he to the hoys, "you'll And some coffee ready beside the fire and afterward, if you please, we will bury my dead." . ,, The boys leaned over In their ad dles wjpdering at him, but the lord's cool eye looked from fuct to face, tad w ha to da what tit (aid. lit wa surely n great chief, that Lord Ilal.-liannon. The men who had fallen a prey to the Apaches Were two teamsters and it Mix'ciin. all known tj these liar V riders, mid they were sure sorry; but more than Hint they enjoyed this short horn, tills tenderfoot from the Kast, who could stand o.T en outfit of hos tile Indians with lone rllle. They saw h" wrs wounded, yet he dug graves IV.' bis dead, made coffee for th: livlrg and thought of everything except himielf. After coffee we lined u;i by the graves to watch the bluff h" made at funeral honors. Lord Bui shannon was a Colonel In the British Army, nnd he stood like an otllcer on parade, reading from a book. His black hair was touched silver, bis face, yellow and gaunt with pain, was strung, hard and manful, nnd bis voice quivered while he read from tho lit tle book: I'or 1 nm n sir.n?er with '1 bee, And ;i sojourner. a all my fathers wcrej O spare inc a little, that 1 may recover my ftrenijili Uciore I go hence, and am no more ecu. I reckon that there were some of us snilllng as though we bad just aught a cold, while we listene 1 to that man's voice nnd saw the loneli ness of him. Afterward Dick Itryant, the liar Y foreman, walked straight up to Lord Italshanuou. "Britisher," said he, "you may be n sojourner, and we hopes you are a whole lot, but there Is no need to be a stranger. Shake:" So iiicy shook hands, and that was the b. 'ginning of a big friendship. Then Lord Balshannou turned to the crowd and looked slowly from face to face of us. "t)e;itlenien," he said, kind of fee ble, and we saw his face go gray while he spoke, "I'm much obliged to you all for er coining. It seems, In deed ahl that my er little son Jim and I have found friends find er ti' ighbors. I'm sorry that ynu should find my cam)) In. such aw in such a beastly mess; but there's some fairly decent whisky in this nearest wagon, and er" The man was reeling ami his eyes seemed blind. "When we get to my new r.'tich at Holy Cross, I I hope you'll -friends -nw a nd" And he dropped in n dead faint. The Bar Y foreman knelt down to loo-en the stranger's collar, while cue of the boys brought water from the camp, and the rest of its stood watch ing. "These Britishers," says be. "runs to two breeds, the lords, which they say "er huw" and the flunkeys, whic'u cast their nltehesj ami says 'orse' I'm 'hawss.' That's how you know t licit brand, and this Mister Balshantion here Is a sure lord. I reckon, boys," be looked all round at us, "that we alls has met with a man which we re sure to be proud to have for a friend and neighbor." "Er haw!" said one of the toys. "Hay-men!" squeaked another. That's how It all began, and I put In twelve lo'.ig years r.t Holy Cross, rid ing for Lord Balshaniion. Black und White. -i Climate In riilllpplnrs. When the treaty with Spain by which we acquired the Philippines wus under debate In ISPS, ex-t'nlted States Sen ator Edmunds in public speech af firmed that the climate of those Islands was so fatal to a white man that no American could expect to live there 4ind bring up a family. At that time the Oregonian quoted the fact that Englishmen had lived many years In a worse climate thut of tropical India: that Macaulay was able to do hard legal work In Calcutta when the mer cury stood nt ! degrees above zero; that Thackeray, was born In India, where his parents bad lived for many years, and thut Lord Koberts had cam. palitned over forty years In India. Secretary of War Tuft Is over six feet nnd weighs .""() pounds not a very good subject to endure a tropical cli mateand yet he returned from the Philippines In perfect health, and he suggests that the newspapers "can help the American Government by de nying the lies circulated nbout the terrible climate there." Of course, no man of common sense falls to adjust himself nnd his hublts to bis environ ment. No mun wears tlie sauie cloth ing In winter or summer In western Oregon that he would wear in western Massachusetts. There are. vast nrens of coimlrv In the I'tilted States where no white man can live long because of malaria. Neither the bottom lands of the Mississippi nor the swamp of South Carolina, where negroes can live, are healthful for n white man. There nre, doubtless, such hinds in Cuba, in I'orto Hleo. In Africa, In India ami In the Philippines; but It Is not neces sary that white men should pick out a patch of malarial country for u homestead. Portland Oregonian. Application of ICmlluiu In Surgery. Before the Technology Club In New York recently Dr. W. J. Morton of the New York Post Graduate Medical School und Hospital cxpluined many of the uses to which radium may be put In the treatment of Internal dis eases. He exhibited a fluid containing quinine sulphate which hud been ex posed' to the uctlon of radium and had acquired the property of fluorescence, to that wheu placed in the path or a strong X-ray It became luminous. He suggested the possibility of employing such a fluid for treating internal dis ease. After being absorbed In the body of a patient, X-ruys could be sent through It, thus producing Internal radio-active effects. Ho regarded ra dium a a promising agent in the treat ment of cancer and thought that the curative powwrs possessed by sonio spring waters might bo due to radium contained In them. lilt UUsbilll. The lawyer was examining him con cerning his qualifications as a juror. "Have you ever served on a Jury?" ho asked. "No, Sir." answered tho man. "I'vo been drawn a good many times, but I was always too smart to get caught on a Jury." "What's that, Slrr Interrupted the Judge, sternly. "Do you boast of your smartness la escaping jury duty?" "No, Your Honor," said tho man. "Not at all. When I said I was too smart I meant that 1 was always ex cused because Ufe lawyers thought I wasn't Ignorant enough," Chicago iribuue, 1 1 jj i Ferns t'ur the Mantel. A pretty way for decorating the mantelpiece, or ornamental shelf, fre luently adopted In the tropics, is to get a small wooden box, two feet nnd a half feet long and live inches wide, with the back three Inches high anil the front only icie Inch. This Is filled with a mixture of rich mould and da ml, In which are planted as many small ferns as the box will hold, says the Chicago News. The rtis In front must be planted In such a way that they full gracefully over the edge of the box. When the box is placed on th man lei It makes as pretty a decoration as lould possibly be devised. Softly shaded lumps and candles, shedding a dim light, make the simply furnished fern-decorated drawing room even Tettler by night than by day. dentin nnd Womanly. "In personal conversation with the zar one Is struck Immediately with the shrinking shyness and softly ap jrebensive, almost feminine sweetness if the Russian Emperor," says Arnold V bite in Everybody's Magazine for March. "Ihe contrast between the melancholy and reflective Czar and the exuberantly vital Kaiser, bubbling and Dolling with unexpended life power, :an be appreciated only by those who 'jave conversed with both. It must lot be supposed that the Czar Nicholas II. Is destltue of strength because bis habitual out look on life Is rather out Jt Oriental resignation than of the hopefulness thut might be expected rrom the head of a great Christian nation. The Czar Is remarkable for i dignity which Is the more iiotlceuble tiecause he Is small In size, nnd his voice is gentle nnd womanly. The .lignlty Is like the dignity of Queen ictoris, wuicu impressed everyone who entered the presence." The F.ualnras Woman. She hns not hundreds of dollars to pend upon her wardrobe, consequent Vy if she is wise she fluds out what olor Is tho most becoming and buys t. ofl.ee gown of that color and uses it as the foundation upon which she 'juilds her system of dress. This color scheme makes It possible ;o wear one article with various ar ticles of clothing' without appearing radiantly dressed like a bird of pura Jise, and nothing In a business wo linn's office dress Is more detestuble '.ban finery. Simplicity, cleanliness, harmony are :he three qualities essential to the Jt slness woman's wardrobe. Since the woman who earns her Dread must he economical the scheme f adopting us u found?

It is not so much how ninny clothes the business woman possesses ns It Is Ihe kind of clothing she wears nnd Ser general appearance. Exchange. J',. Tlie I.tiip Year l'ro.oul. Leap year still holds the interest ind attention of women, but one can Scarcely Imagine the state of mind of Vhe girl who n veils to inquire of an ?dltor how to propose. Given the fact Unit the lady wishes to propose, there ire surely plenty of ways opeu to her, not necessarily always a formal pro posal lu words; the pressure of a hand, l look, a broken sentence, a silent tear, ire often far more etlicacious; and in 'he hiliguntle of love looks Ktmul fr.t- ivords. Only the most dry-natured and ibrupt think It necessary to "pop the question" in so inuny definite den fences; both in books und in real life Ihe art if wooing Is very different rrom the stereotyped Idea of the jenernl public. Three confessions of Mie Inner life would reveal In many -uses Hint tho woman had tuken the 'nitlative, that she had encouraged, assisted and actually led her lover un ?onsclously Into marriage, and that no icttuil propositi ever really took place. The proposal of a heavenly minded di vine must differ radically from that it a rough and unpolished soldier, while the flowery compliments of the ')oet might leave bis hearer in the lurk us to his uctuul Intentions; tint inch is the subtlety of the girl, whnt ?ver her age and experience, that she inows Instinctively, without words, her lover's meaning. What (llrls Tan lo. It is the (glii who does things In this world who Is attractive, both to men ind to her owu sex, which last counts i little, too, lu the long run. You inuy not be able to do great things, to pulnt great pictures or to lng in grand opera, but you can learn to make bright little things for your elf and your friends, mid perhaps to play the light, "catchy" ulrs of the day o that your friends will enjoy them, and if you can't do anything else culti vate the art of talking brightly aud of being sympathetic. Every girl can do one thing well if she will only take the trouble to Und out what that thing Is. The dllllculty Is that she often looks lit the opposite direction; she wants to do something great and showy or noth ing at all. But there are other taleats within reach if she will only look, aud these talents may ba such a comfort to her tu her dark hours that they will make life better and huppler both for her and those about her.

Arnslble Shoo. A shoo thut keeps the foot atwayi lu good condition must be first of all comfortable. The walking shoe should be an extension sole, so us to give a good base and prevent the foot from being turned by irregularities In the roadway. The toe of the walking shoe should be sufficiently broad to leuve the tops of tho foot absolutely uncrumped. Any contraction of the leather which binds the toes, even a little, must pro duce not only discomfort but lu the end disease. The broadly rounded to la therefore Important. The heel should be broad nnd not over one Inch high. Uubber Is applied to tho bottom of the heel, to the In side of the heel, and In the form of u pud placed Inside the shoe. The prin ciple lu euch of these is excellent. No one should walk on a solid heel. The Instep should be laced with diag onal lacing, Instead of straight across, or in such a way as to permit the up per to fit itself to the shape of the foot freely. The lining of the shoe plays an Im portant part. It must be carefully put in and It must not wear out sooner than the upper of the shoe. The upper of the shoe should be formed upon a last which represents the position of the foot when flat on the floor, not in the position of a foot when held in the air. The sensible people have for many years dressid their feet on these lines. Dull- Mle or I.lltlf filrls. Tlie uveruge girl, capable of becom ing an executive, well-Informed wo man, is born with a love for the homely, sweet and practical things of life, and It Is to this wholesome, un spoiled child instinct that effort must be directed in domestic education. And the task is so much easier when the work Is begun early in life, under the guise of play. There are those who advocate be ginning with the very little ones of three and four years of age, aud build ing up, along with all their other training, a systematic course In house hold duties. Give them principles and rules, tench them rule and method, and while they nre practicing in u small, way, suited to their surround ings, be quite sure thut they are doing everything lu tho light way. It Is easier to teach the child now, nnd form the habit of working right, than It will be by nnd by to undo wrong teaching, and form new habits of do ing things. It Is not at all difficult to tench the little girl In her dol! housekeeping to put things in their proper places, keep them there, and to do nil the things at the proper time. She may have tho correct method of housecleaning, how to give entertainment, nnd oven the judicious management of her doll ser vants. If only mother knows how anil has the wit and wisdom and patience and good humor to Impart her knowl edge lu a happy, playful fashion. Then, too, the mother can let the little girl do some real -tasks, light ones, to be sure, but genuine work. making her feel sure that sho Is of Importance because she Is "helping mother." Nothing makes a girl hap pier than the thought that she i doing something which Is really worth while and not mere play.
