JOM. ALKIXG of Knowing dogs,"
$H - mild tlio Imlinii trader.
0 I O when tho subject came 'up
4 k In big store one evening.
Jsr "the most remarkable I've
ever soon wns a big mongrel tbut
looked like a cross between n deer
bound ami a buffalo doir.
"That dog belonged to 'Burcfoot'
Kelley. who used to trap ulong the
Missouri hereabouts. Kelley went
barefoot six mouths In the year. He
always trapped out all winter by him
self, bringing bis catch up in down tlie
river when the Ice ran out.
"One spring, as be pulled In nt our
landing, lie bad company in bis boat,
a big, rough dog with a coat of spotted
gray and yellow.
" 'This is Slnjor. my purdner,' ho
said, when he came into the store with
the dog at his heels, 'lie came to my
shuck in a blizzard.'
"At first Sinjer was just n dog to
us, but It was only a week or two until
he did a feat which made him a char
acter. "Barefoot had come down early,
when the ice was still running, and a
cold snap came on about the middle of
April and closed the river. A day or
two later, when the trapper and' his
dog were loafing inside the store, I
stepped out of doors on some errar.d.
"I had gone but a rod or two when
1 noticed a wolf trotting across the
river about a quarter of a mile distant.
I oalled back to Barefoot that here
was a mark for his rltle. He came to
the door and followed my linger with
his eye, then called to his dog. Slnjer
responded promptly, and Barefoot ran
down to the river hank, pointing to
ward the wolf. The dog gave chase
and went across the Ice like a yellow
streak. The wolf gave him a 'single
contemptuous loolt, and trotted on out
of rifle shot.
"Not until Sinjer was almost upon
him did the wolf pay any attention.
Then he turned In a flash, and I ex
pected to see a dead dog In less than
twenty seconds. Instead of that, after
a minute or so of as pretty lighting as
I ever saw, there was a dead wolf ly
ing on the Ice and a yellow dog sitting
on his haunches, howling for his mus
ter to come and take the pelt.
"'That's Sinjer.' said Barefoot, ns
proud as a peacock, 'the best wulfer on
the ol" Missouri!'
"The Interest of everybody at the
post had- been roused by this time.
Barefoot went out and dragged in the
dog's catch, and showed a group of
us that the wolf's fore legs were both
broken and Its throat neatly cut.
"The Irapper then told us that this
was the seventh wolf or coyote pelt
his, dog had secured in the three
months they had 'hunted together,'
and that every wolf Sinjer had killed
had one or both fore legs broken. His
dog "would as soon tackle a buffalo
wolf, he said, as a Jackrabblt, and we
could easily believe him.
"Siiijer'a points cntiie out one by
one. It was hard to tell, we used to
say, whether Barefoot had taken Sin
jer into partnership or whether the dog
had adopted the trapper. Sinjer was a
perfect bodyguard. No man could
touch a thing belonging to Barefoot
unless he was ready to tight that dog.
And there were some things Barefoot
himself couldn't do without punish
ment "One hot day, when the dog was ly
ing sound asleep In the store. Barefoot
got tip sortly and stole on tiptoe out of
the door, motioning me to follow and
note what would happen.
"Barefoot went to the river bank
some rods away, and began walking
back and forth. Then .Sinjer waked
up, and with an anxious whine, bolted
out past my legs. The dog no sooner
saw Barefoot than he ran at him,
growling, whining and yelping, with
quct-r wags of the head. lh scolded
as plainly as any termagant of a
squaw. But he wasn't content with
scolding; he ran In behind Barefoot,
and slyly nipped the culf of his leg, un
til the inna cried out with pain.
"Then back that dog came, dropping
Into his old pluce under a couuter, and
growling In a surly fashion until Bare,
foot entered und took his seut on a
barrel.
"'He al'ays does that when I snenk
away from him, said Barefoot. 'I
al'ays get pinched,' and he rubbed his
log and grinned like a schoolboy who
had been switched. .
"So for three or four years Barefoot
ana lnjer came and loufed and went
ou as regularly as the seasons. The
dog killed wolves until, in n wicked
fight, he broke two front teeth and got
a whipping. After that he ignored
wolves, and ceased even to chuse coy
otes. "Then one April day Barefoot rlrl ft iiil
down the river, and there wus no dog
in his boat.
"'Where's Hlnjer?' everybody asked;
and Barefoot, with a face as sober as
If he'd lost a hrother.'answered, 'Dead.'
"That was all he would say about the
dog for a Jong time, and he sat about
the store listlessly, uutil one evening,
prompted to do his dog Justice, J
reckon, he told me his slory.
"He had built a shack, lu the Had
V
By FRANKLIN
WELLES CALKINS.
Lands the fall before, on a creek where
he had found otter plentiful. During
the month of November he had taken
ten nearly prime pelts. Then one morn
ing, as he was making the rounds of
his traps, ho suddenly missed Sinjer,
and remembered that the dog had not
been with him since he had left the
shack.
"It was Sinjer's habit to take a run
after rabbits when they first went out
of doors nt daylight. But the dog had
never before failed to overtake him
within a mile or two. The trapper felt
uneasy, and after tramping the creek
a bit farther, he went back without
finish the round of his traps.
"When he reached the shack he found
Its door burst in. His extra gun, a
shotgun, had bei-n taken, his pack of
otter pelts and his store of smrar and
coffee. All else was as he had left it.
but the dog was nowhere about, nor
was there any mum of him.
"Thieves, white or red. bad robbed
his camp, and Sinjer had discovered
them, followed, and been shot. So
much was clear to Barefoot. Circling
about his cabin, he found the tracks of
the thieves. Three pairs of moccasins
had come up the creek and gone down
again.
"Fort Union was three days' travel
distant, and nt that post lived a family
of half-breeds, the lies Champs, whose
livelihood was chiefly gained by thiev
ing. These fellows were In the habit
of prowling about the country on foot,
the better to hide themselves, robbing
traps und the camps of hunters. Bare
foot had no doubt that three of these
scoundrels were the men who had
robbed him. As It was not yet noon,
their trail was a warm one, and Bare
foot determined to follow, overtake
them at their night camp, and secure
their booty. If chance should olTer.
"The fellows would not, of course,
expect him to return so mioii, and might
possibly lie taken on their guard.
"No snow had fallen yet, and recent
fires had burned over much of the grass
lands, so that the moccasin tracks were
often plainly to be seen. Where they
were easily followed Barefoot traveled
at a swinging trot.
"At first lie had expected to find the
body of his dog at no great distance
from the shack; but as lie put the miles
behind lilm. and still found no trace
of Sinjer. he was much puzzled In
mind. He began to hope that the dog
was alive, but If so, where was he?
"This matter was settled ut the
mouth of the creek some ten miles be
low his cabin. Here, upon a newly
burned tract, he found dog tracks
which he knew to be Sinjer's! Ten
minutes of careful trailing disclosed
Ihe astonishing fact that Sinjer was
going in company with the thieves.
Sometimes their moccasins fell directly
upon the dog's tracks, and again the
prints of his toes fell within a human
footprint, proving beyond question that
Sinjer had been trotting both before
and behind the men.
"And now a theory flashed Into Bare
foot's mind. Ho had camped in these
same Bad Lands when the dog came
to him In a snow storm. Mere Sinjer
hud lost his old master and here he had
found him again! Thus was the piu
zle neatly unraveled.
"Yet ibis discovery only whetted
Barefoot's desire to follow. The pelts
were of little account compared with
Sinjer. So he followed on ns tireless
as a coyote. At the mouth of the
creek the robbers' trail ied directly
down the Utile Missouri. They were
headed for Fort I'nion, ami were mak
ing good time, too.
"At dark Barefoot could no longer
see their tracks, and he wus disheart
ened lest they should turn aside Into
some creek valley. He pushed ahead,
holding to the river for a couple of
hours longer, and then he caught a
glimmer of a campllre among the
trunks of some cottonwoods.
"On the lee of the river, hugging Jts
near bank, Barefoot crept toward them
uutlj he could hide in a clump of wil
lows and took out ou their enmp. As
he hnd suspected, the men were half
breeds, and one, at least, was a Lies
Champs whom he knew.
"The three hud euteii supper find
were resting, squatted about their fire.
They were smoking their pipes quietly,
and close at hand, near the fire, lay
Sinjer, sound asleep!
"Barefoot watched the thieves until
two of them rolled Into their blaukets,
and tho third, putting fresh logs on
the fire, squatted on guard. With his
one dog to assist the fellows In a night
vigil, Barefoot felt that prudence re
quired him to keep out of their camp.
"The trapper's only hope of recover
ing his property now lay In watching
the camp from a distance, and in the
chance of whistling Sinjer off, if the
dog should to scouting round in the
morning.
"So he dropped down the river a
half-mile, where he bid lu u willow
thicket, ate mum senilis of venison,
and rolled lu for the night. Ho was
awakened tit daylight by Ihe boom of a
gun up the river. Peering out of his
thicket, he saw two figures, a quarter
mile or so away, coming nt a run. Oue
was u four-foot Sinjer-and the other
a uittu lu clvse.
"The dog was lugging something In
his teeth which retarded his progress,
and the man could now be heard yell
ing. 'Yah! yah! yah"
"The dog came nearer, and then
Barefoot saw lhat Sinjer hnd snatched
his master's puck of otter skins be
yond doubt at the first chance that bad
offered and was making for home as
fast as he could. II had caught the
bead of one skin In his teeth, and the
bundlf flapped and banged nt his legs
at every Jump.
"Barefoot leaped out of the brush
and ran to the rescue,
"'Come on. Sljl! flood boy! retch!
fetch!' he shouted, fairly wild with ex
citement. "(.inly one of the lialf-breeds wns In
sight, and this man wps closing In on
the dog, loading his old Northwest
musket n he ran. He saw Barefoot,
and turning his bend, cried for the
others to come on.
"As the dog was coining toward hltn,
Barefoot had the advantage in their
rnce, and he and Sinjer enme together
some rods In front of the half breed.
The dog dropped his pack nnd leaped
upon his master with a Joyful yelp.
"'I could have hugged him,' said
Bit re foot.
"The half-breed halted. He had Just
finished loading his gun. and he looked
ugly ns he t'f tied nnd called to his fel
lows to inalr haste. Very likely they
had gone out to shoot some game while
he had stayed to make coffee.
" 'Keep your distance!' said Barefoot,
holding bis gun at n ready, while his
old dog whined and capered about his
legs. The half-breed was maddened,
lie shouted, swore French oaths, and
nourished his gun In a threatening
manner, nnd Sinjer, Irritated by all
this, made nt hltn In n savage rush.
"Barefoot .veiled In vain to call the
dog off, and the half-breed, scared nnd
angry, leveled his gun and riddled
Sin.ler with slugs.
"As his faithful dog fell lifeless,
Barefoot said that the te'mptatlon to
take a man's life was never so strong
upon him. But he contented himself,
nnd showing the half breed his rifle,
patted its breech nnd told the fellow
to be gone and to lie quick about It.
"Then, ns th man took the hint.
Barefoot picked up his otter skins, nnd
never once looking back at his dog,
struck out for his camp. I suspect that
lie didn't see the trail well for a time,
for his eyes were blurred with tears
when he had finished his story."

THE BEAUTY CHASE
Some of the Things Society Women Tlo

the mad chase for beauty:
They take milk baths.
They bathe their faces daily in real
sweet cream.
They have their entire faces skinned,
so that n new skin may grow over the
old surface.
They have their noses shaped.
They shave their eyebrows Into a per

They have all nature's fine hairs re
moved from the skin by electrolysis.
They have real dimples cut jn their
cheeks and chins.
They have good strong crooked teeth
removed and artificial straight ones
screwed on to the stumps.
They go into complete retirement for
six months at a time, are "done over,"
ami emerge perfect beauties.
They have artificial figures built in
their frocks and artificial insteps made
In their slippers.
But It Is not all wasted time. Never
has tlie world been so crowded with
beautiful women! Never have there
been so many unbeautlful women who
have produced the Illuslou of beauty.

Hn.t For the Mother.
You cannot serve your family better
than by resting yourself. An over
tired mother cannot make sunshine In
the home. Try to tnke even half an
hour of complete rest some time during
the afternoon, says Woman's Life. It
will often be hard to get awny, but
make a duty of It and you will accom
plish It. If you were 111 the children
would have to get on without you; let
them do It while you are keeping well

a doctor's bill, and If you do not have
one you will surely have the other.

choicest and very often are exclusive

reason rather high prices are usuuliy
asked for them.
If one may judge by the first cottons
shown, the coming year will be notnble
for the number and the beauty of tub
gowus worn. Tho old favorites, or
gandies, dimities and flowered muslins,
are on hand, as usual. Organdies with

A Woman's Pocket.
For one blessing man Is enviable his
pockets. Woman occasionally has a
pocket, but she cun't use It. "Put in a
pocket," she pleads, and the dress
maker sends home the new skirt with
a pocket stowed away In the recesses
of a hook-up placket hole. It Is pot a
workable pocket for three reasons:
First, It bulges If there Is even a
handkerchief In It, destroying tho sym
metry of the outline. -
Second, things aimed at it rarely suc
ceed In forcing nn entrance, but fall
alongside, downward with a whack on
the floor.
Third, who could fumble through a
whole row of hooks and eyes, placed in
the centre of the scam at the back?
Al a trifling obstucle In tlie way of
blind manipulation it may mentioned
that such hooks are usually of a tricky
patent, or they would not stay fastened
at all.
At the hem of the garment, under
the "foundation" frill, pockets like a
tiny creecent-sbaped pouch may also
be found lurking. A handkerchief can
repose In one In sufety, merely Involv
ing some suppleness In the owner, who
must execute a kind of dive In with
drawing and reinserting It. A silk
foundation sometimes uccommodstes
.quite a practical-looking receptacle, to
which the unwary at first Intrusts even
a purse or n pocket knife, But hard
objects dangling on a level with the
knee nre 111 companions, and those who
have once knelt on n latchkey never
desire to repeat the experience.
"I asked for pockets nnd they gave
me handbags," Is the plaint of the pet.

Unemployed London Women.
Women ns well ns men nre suffering
from lack of employment. Many
women nre casual or Irregularly em
ployed workers; many women's trades
are peculiarly seasonal fluctuations.
That some provision for unemployed
women, ns distinguished from unem
ployed men, Is required, can be doubted
by no person acquainted with the con
ditions of Industrial life; and If such
provision is to be renlly helpful It must
he built Just ns any such provision for
men needs to be upon a, basis of care
ful examination and classification.
Certain differences In the Industrial
positions of men nnd women were
recently dealt with by Miss Wyntt
I'upworth. who pointed out: (1) The
way of escape provided for women by
various forms of domestic service; (lit
the fact that, because ninny women
nre not dependent upon their own
earnings, the wages of women often
tend to be calculated upon what may
be termed n ''parasitic" basis; (3) the
willingness of women to accept forms
of work and rates of pay to which men
will not stoop. Touching lightly upoi,,
the facts that the total proportion of
employed women to that of employed
men slightly but steadily declines,
while that of women In factory work
Increases, the paper went on to classify
unemployed women tinder four heads:
(1) Casual or Irregular workers; (2)
workers in season trades; (3) workers
not wanted in the callings they at
tempt; (4) workers personally defec
tive or economically Inefficient a group
which might Include "large numbers of
women over forty." Willi the genuine
ly Idle the female counterpart of tho
loafer and the tramp Miss Papwortli
did not deal; nnd the omission Is just,
for such women soon drop out of even
the lowest ranks of labor; their case
forms, indeed, n serious soclnl problem,
but the problem Is not Industrial.
Next came references to the vnrlous
existing agencies for meeting the trou
ble, and n remark upon the necessarily
misleading character of statistics de
rived from registries nnd employment
bureaus, as at present nrranged, since
the figures cannot possibly show either
the degree of overlapping or the degree
to which the clients of these Institu
tions nre merely actuated by desire for
change of employment.
None of these ngencles, however,
most of which exist for other ends,
can claim to have solved the problem.
Miss Papwortli classifies suggested
remedies under three heads: (1) Those
dealing with Improved conditions of
work; (2) those dealing with Improved
education and training; (3) those deal
ing with the provision of work or of
opportunities. It was Justly pointed
out that "physical degeneracy Is the
most lrremedlnl cause, and the effect
also, of unemployment. Therefore any
thing thnt Is done to Improve the na
tional physique Is a direct contribu
tion" toward the solution of the prob
lem. Among such measures were noted
the prevention of child labor, and the
leveling up of the conditions of home
work by registration nnd Inspection.
Sho-tened hours nnd better pay con
duce also to physical efficiency.

Kid C'nmrllas.
In a fashionable restuurant a pretty
girl with brown eyes wns seen wearing
a delicute gray costume to perfection.
The dress was of soft chlffou velvet,
and the blouse was made in the quaint
bib effect and worn over a gulmpe of
gathered ' nioussellne lu Ivory white.
This was pretty rather than surpris
ing. Tho accompanying hut wus both.
It was a quaint little trlcorne, covered
with the gruy chiffon velvet. Where
the crown wus cuught up there were
white cuiiielins cumellus made of kid!
Tho soft ii unlity of fine kid lends Itself
admirably to the purpose,, quite won
derfully expressing the texture of this
always interesting and now modish
blossom. At a reception a notublo hat
lu bright red was seen. Its brim
soured high at the reft, and it was
trimmed with a large shuded red os
trich plume, which hung off the back
over the hulr. The peculiar purt of it
was the three rows of very largo red
beads that surrounded tho crown. The
finish of these beads Imitated that of
a pearl. Though not absolutely new,
many turban brims are mudo entirely
of rows of ruthcr lurge bcuds.
