Just before the game began Dun njore" rode over to the trap in'.Tvhich (Mrs. Porter and Gertrude Remsen sat 'chatting with a group of young men. Mra. Porter, that soul of discretion, scrambled from her Beat "and man aged to lead the young men away, fe; Dunmore removed his cap and looked smilingly at the girl, whose face displayed the faintest trace of annoyance. b- '.'Forgive my intrusion," said Dun more, in apology, "but I've heard you are leaving us to-morrow. I wanted just one last word. You'll grant ine that, won't you?" "I suppose I must," she said rath er ungraciously. -Diinniore's bronzed face suddenly became grave. He leaned toward her, and something In his eye made her frown deepen. "I want to ask you once more to reconsider " he began. 1 "It is quite impossible, Mr. Dun more," she said, coldly. "Why?" he asked. "Am I so ter ribly ineligible?" "Your life at present is very full," ehe said. "There is no room in it .for for a wife." The color came Into her cheeks at the last word, r Do yon think these things really count with me?" he asked quickly, 'these horses and this polo and all the rest of it?" "- "Perhaps for the moment you think they don't" she said. "But they do. fThsy have a hold on- you that no .woman ever could hope to rival. She would be a side issue." "You don't really mean that?" said lie. ,, "I do," she averred. The whistle sounded from tne field. "The only thing that really counts In all the world Is you," said Dun more. "I can't seem to make you believe it, but it's Cod's truth." He rode out into the field, leaving the girl strangely ill at ease. As the game began, Mrs. Porter returned and climbed into the trap. With her came the omnipressnt group of satel lites. . "Gertrude, I do hope " she began In a whispered aside to the girl, but Miss Remsen was talking to the young men with a vivacity that, to Mrs. Porter, seemed a trifle forced, t-c' All during the game the girl's eyes were seldom on the field. Although the play was fast and furious and she was known to be a devotee of polo, she seemed to prefer the plati tudes of the men grouped about the trap to the excitement of the play, i?. Only once did she follow the game, and that was when a man beside them said excitedly, "Just look at old Tommy Dunmore! He's doing his best to break his' precious neck! " il Mrs. Porter fclancsd at her nelce suspiciously. "My dear " she began prote3tIng ly, but with a sUrug of her shoulders Miss Remsen resumed her gay chat ter. w A moment later she heard a little murmur of horror. Mrs. Porter half roso from her seat and caught her breath sharply. The girl turned her eyes toward the field. l Near one goal a group of riders was drawing apart, and on the ground lay a man beneath his pony. Four men ran into the field, drew the fallen man from beneath the pony and bore him to the clubhouse. The pony scrambled to its feet and was led limping away. A substitute gal loped onto the field, and' the gams went on. P When the momentary excitemsn had subsided Mr3. Portr turned to her nelce. The girl's white face Shocked her. tr" "Gertrude, dear, what is matter?" she asked. "Please take me home," said Mls3 Remsen in as qLA, quavering voice. -Ono of the young men took the cob by the head and guided them through the tcnglo of carriages. Then silently they drove across the club grounds to the read. Mrs. Porter, being wise in her day and generation, said nothing. t- When they wore nearly home, the girl suddenly burst Into a storm o tep.rs. "Oh, auntie," the said, "I didn't know until I snw him lylns there all ' white and blosdy! Please drive to the clubhouse." Mrs. PGrter waited in the big hall while n physician led Gertrude up the stairs to a sunny room overlooking the grounds. Then, after he had opened tho door end bowed her in, li discreetly withdrew. Cn a couc'j by the w!nOT lay Dan more, his head scathed ' bandages, and one arm rigid" in untr.inly splints. With tho opening ol the door he raised himself on liio sound arm, and beheld the girl standing there, like frightened bird Fieed for flight. "Why. hello," . he called gatlj Tb's is C'ifl ef rou ts cmj." The girl's face flushed. Bh vai groping darkly for words. 'I was afraid you were badly hurt," she faltered. "No, indeed," said he. "The Dun mores are "a braw lot. ; They don't die easily. Just a few scratches, that's all." She drew a few steps nearer, halt ed Irresolutely, then went to his side. "Tom!" she saidgently. His eyes widened.' She noticed that he was trembling. . "I-I, didn't know until until it happened," she said. "And then, O, it seemed as if the world had stopped f-as'if the sun tad been blotted out in darkhess. It's" dreadful to ca're'so "much and and to find it out! " She knelt beside him. Her cool hand was stroking his face. 1 "Perhaps I shall only be a side Is sue," she half sobbed. "But, O, Tom, dear, let me be that much, anyway." American Cultivator. MEXICAN CARRIES HIS MOSEY. He Dislikes Chucks and Doesn't Vn Cerstand Bank Eoofcs. Almost any Mexican in professional or business life carries on his person anywhere between $200 and $800. Even the poor Indian in his blanket can more than likely produce more than many foreigners. . The ordinary Mexican professional man will be found to "carry on his person suni3 of money that would surprise the ordinary traveler and even cause hira to worry were he forced to carry it with him, yet the Mexican never even thinks of it. It was but a few days ago that an Instance of this kind was brought to attention. One Mexican of the mid dle class asked another in a casual way if he could change a thousand dol lar bill. The other pulled out a wal let from his inside pocket and count ed out nearly $2000. Time after time this has happened and it seems no uncommon thing for a Mexican of the middle class to carry 1000 and 2000 pesos on his person. The check idea seems to have but taken small hold as yet upon the cit izens of Mexico, especially when small amounts of less than $1000 are concerned. They consider it much easier to pay spot cash than to give a check for amounts of $50 and $100 and they claim with some amount of reason that a business deal can be put through with better advantage when the cash is in sight. Even the Indian in the street car ries amounts of cash that would nev er be supposed to be in his posses sion. They carry their money in a leather bet, fastened around their bodies inside their trousers. These belts are hollow and are open at one end. Into the open end the Indian slips his pesos or bills until he has the whole full. The belt then is eith er taken off and hidden away or the bills are changed for larger demon inations and still carried around the body. But the Indian is a stickler for "pesos duros" and prefers them to any other class of money except gold. . To the Indian money is money and a bank book stands for nothing in his way of thinking. A check he will not accept under any circumstances, because he does not understand it. A coin or paper currency is what be is after, and that is what he keeps his hands on when he gets it. The Mex ican Herald." Gratitude. Smith, the railroad agent at a su burban Etation ' in a Western city, saved the life of a dignified gentle man waiting for a train, by pulling him from in front of a through train on another track. The digni fied gentleman lost all his dignity for the moment and was much con fused, but not ro much as to forget that something was due to the agent. Following a grateful Impulse, he tnrust his hand into his pocket, and, drawing it forth, exclaimed: "Man, you've caved my life; here's half a dollar." "Oh, I never take payment for a thing like that," answered Smith, as he turned to attend to the duties of the moment. "But, man, you must; you saved my life. Have a cigar, anyway." Harpers Weekly. How It nappenet!. A certain member of the fashion able Metropolitan and Chevy Chase clubs at tho national capital has all hi3 life borne many quips by reason of his exceedingly diminutive stature. Last spring the diminutive club man took unto himself a wife, the daughter of a well-known Federal official, who is said to be as witty as her father. "Mrs. Eiank." said a friend one day recently, "I have just seen your husband for the first time since his marriage. Do you know, he seems shorter than ever." "Why not?" asked the "wife, with ft smile; "he's married and c;ttled dorn." 1-Iarper's WesJtly. His Natural Pace. Ko;;ntne!!, a Confederate soldier, v;a3 (leoncd by his comrades, says Mr. Edwcrd A. Moore, In "The Story ot a Cannoneer under Stonewall Jackson," as great an enigma as Jackson himself. In Eomo of the various evolutions of tho drill it was necessary for the cadets to trot. This gait Ilountsell failed to adopt, and was reported to the superintendent, with the spec! fleation, "for falling to trot." Hount sell handed in his written excuse as follows: "I am reported by Major Jackson for falling, at artillery drill, to trot My icu3 is, I am a natural pacer." j "Widow Woman Correct? Zy Professor T. R. Lounsbury. UMEROUS Indeed are the motives which have led and still lead men to resort to expletives. Certain of those now In use contain little more than a repetition of the same idea expressed by two different words. A part of the compound hns become obsolete or archaic; hence it needs or needed to have Its meaning strengthened. Luke, for instance, meant "tepid"; but as it came to be somewhat unfamiliar, the sense was brought out with precision by adding .to it pN warm. Different rvom tnis, tnougn possiuiy aiuea to u, may be the attributive use of widow In the expression widow woman. The second word of the combination is clearly unnecessary; but it may not have been always so. Tho difference of the final vowel In the original Anglo-Saxon words constituted the sole distinction between widuwa a "widower" and widuwe a "widow." When the levelling processes that went on after the Conquest gave to both these words the same ending -e, a natural way to fix definitely the idea ot femininity, before -er was added to create the masculine form, would be to append "woman" to the common word. If thl3 were so, it would be almost inevitable that the combination would survive long after tho necessity for it had disappeared. .However this may be, the expression has subsisted for centuries in our speech. When In our version of the Bible the woman of Tekoah tells King David, "I am indeed a widow woman, and mine hus band is dead," we are supplied In the same short sentence with illustrations of two different sorts of expletives. For the one, the original Hebrew is necessarily responsible; for the other, the sixteenth-century translators. The Wycliffite version or the fourteenth century had "woman-widow." But what ever the origin, tho expression has come down to tho present time. Nor Is it confined, as is often nsserted, to colloquial speech. To cite one Instance out of many, it is used In Earnaby Rudgo by Dickens, when speaking in his own person. "To find this widow woman," he says, . . . "linked mysterious ly with an ill-omened man . . .was a discovery that pained as niuch as startled him'." Harper's Magazine. t Happy They and Nature Smile While Wall Street Groans Under the Knife.

Now Wnll Street sneezes and yells and shout3 and kicks up a devil of a fuss In Wall Street and the farmer follows the plough, the wheat grows, the chickens T Hlay abundantly, the stock increases, all nature smiles In peace and plenty, and the farmer buys aut03 and gives not 1 a rap for Wall Street. Tho wires are broken. The farmer is not interested, for Wall Street has ceased to be the barometer of the nation's prosperity. The barometer has been moved elsewhere. Wall Street drops three billions In values and the farmer read3 ot such "terrible doings" with a chuckle and says: "Things are drappln' some in Wall Street and no mistake, b'gosh!' No better time could have been selected to thrust the lance Into the Wall Street ulcer; and no better period for the good of the public could havo been chosen. It is, of course, hard upon the innocent Investor, especially the "common Investor," who bought wind and water and nothing else; but It was a case of caveat emptor.

When I f-rst purchased tho Panhandle ranch there were at least five hundred antelopes, but we used to chase them ju3t the same for sport. "Last week I went out with my two daughters in the motor car, and we sighted a drove of eighteen. In an auto wo could got within fifty yards of tho antelope easily. "Tho ranch i3 covered with short grass, and via can run right across the prairie.
