"Why in my daily walks does the surgeon drop his left eyelid, The undertaker smile and the sculptor of gravestone marbles Ian on his chisel and gaze? I care not o'ermuch for attention: Simple am I In my ways, save for this lightness of freedom." So spake that pensive man-thls Thompson, the hero of Angel's ;.

Suddenly as the gray hawk swoops down m the barnyard, alighting Where, pensively picking their corn, the favorite pullets are gathered, : So In that festive barroom dropped Thompson, the hero of Angel's, Grasping his weapon dread with his pristine lightness and freedom. Never a word he spoke; divesting hlniBelf of his garments, Danced the war dance of the playfuf yet truculent Modoc, Uttered a single whoop, and then in the accents of challenge Spake, "Oh, behold in me a Crested Jay Hawk of the mountain!" Then -rose a pallid man a man sick, with fever and ague; Small was he, and his step was tremulous, weak and uncertain; Slowly a Derringer drew and covered the person of Thompson; Said in his feeblest pipe, "I'm a Baldheaded Snipe of the Valley." - Aa on Its native plains the kangaroo, startled by hunters, Leaps with successive bounds and hurries away to the thickets, So leaped the Crested Hawk and, quietly hopping behind him, Ran and occasionally shot that Baldheaded Snipe of the Valley. Vain at the festive bar still lingered the people of Angel's, Hearing afar in the woods the petulant pop of the pistol; Never again returned the Crested Hawk of the mountains; Never again was seen the Baldheaded Snipe of the Valley. Yet In the hamlet of Angel's, when truculent speeches are uttered, ' When bloodshed and life alone will atone for some trifling misstatement, Maidens and men In their prime recall the last hero of Angel's, Think of and vainly regret the Baldheaded Snipe of the Valley! Nothing and Everything By FRANK H. SPEARMAN Copyright, Mot, by Frank B. Spearman aaaAAAaaaaV The frightened girl, with the violin John saw she was young and slight beat her hands and panted In a pretty terror. Reaching the child's side with astonishing bounds, the autocrat, seiz ing the bear's collar. Jerked it off the pawling urchin. Thoroughly and ex cusably enraged, the beast turned on the Interloper, and with the utmost air of business. The encounter was short, for miners and bears are instant In fight. The frightened Italian girl, grasping her violin, saw - the bear, springing wickedly, tear at Blair's arm, thrown out as a buffer. In a very flash the struggling pair fought In blood. The Italian rushed from the store with bis tardy bucket, but not until the autocrat bad by a shrewd and merciless twist hurled the bear to the ground and put back Into Its sheath a dripping knife he had passed across the brute's throat. The unfortunate bear bad taken the worst of it Meantime the child's motner ran shrieking into the street, and a dozen women from as many shanties swarm ed after her. The Italian girl shrank in dlsinay beside her companion, while John Blair stepped quickly to them. i "Sorry I had to kill your bear, To ny," he said to the bewildered musi cian. "It's your fault, not taking care of him. He Jumped on the child. I interfered to keep you out of trouble. This is a bad camp for your sort They bung three dagoes here a few years ago. They'd swing yon np and. light their pipes on you if your bear did any damage. You'd best get ont see? and be lively about itl Understand?" be added in Italian, for the women were already closing about the fright ened pair. "Them's the murderln' villains!" shouted Mrs. Jackson, dragging her Innocent vindictively np by the wrist "Look a' the poor little gynrll They'd ought to be lynched.1" There waa a chorus of echoes. "Ow eao we get out?" anxiously asked the roan of John Blair. "Blast It! Get oat the way yon got Inhit the path!" exclaimed the auto crat Impatiently; but, glancing at the gathering mob of women ana enuarea the men were fortunately; under ground or asltwp tne autocrat changed bis advice. Things were shaping them selves with the speed of a cyclone. The Italian girl shrank closer to bun. A burly Switchback dame tore at bar face, and she noddled, frlgbtened, against his arm. The virago's Angers missed the gui cneea. dot uey cangut the kerchief eff ber neck. The bear tamer Interposed to resent the assault John Blair, pushing bint back, snatch ed tbe scarf from the woman's band and rebuked ber by name. Tbes be turned. "Great Ood! Doat coach one of these women. They'll r 1 pieces.. Keep eooL bow, my boy, or year beela wUI eool to tbe air." There was a touch of anxiety m his voice. With a deft move be got the Italians behind him and tried to appeal to the WITCHBACK lay between two summer resorts in Colo- r J ous town, a very swell town with a group of very swell springs, the other nothing more than a huge hotel up the gorge at Spanish Peaks, hung about by granite tapestries bard as the manager's heart When El Toledore mine was smok ing, as they put It for a lively market Switchback boasted a lively popula tion, with three shifts on 600 men bnt never at any time more than one boss. He was El Toledore manager, mining engineer and superintendent- John Blair. He was boss. The highway that connected the re sorts crossed the Switchback street be tween the boarding bouse and the de pot ' The sun at the noon hour beat In tently on It and John Blair, on the porch of Mrs. Jackson's boarding bouse, melting the last or us ravor ite tobacco Into blue base, was stak ing into a doze when his ear caught the sound of laughter, different from Switchback laughter. He opened his vea like the cliff road,. they were gray and dusty and saw a man and a woman coming down rrom ine gorge. The man led a bear, and the woman carried a violin. :r J . Bight in front of the boarding noose the bear became perverse, nnnwr from heat or from the odors of Mrs. T.k.n'a kitchen, be settled back on his haunches and vigorously resisted every effort to get him forward.

"It will be here in a minuter he ex claimed as the frightened musicians looked to htm. "Get on this train and get out of here! Get your tickets!" be repeated in Italian to the bear tamer. "What are you crying about r he ask ed of the girl as the man started for the 'ticket window. "I couldn't help killing your bear. It was his fault He gave it no water. Understand? Is that your husband?" "Si, slgnor," she stammered trem blingly. He looked at ber closely, Where the neckerchief had been torn away the creamy skin contrasted with her travel stained face, and the tears, coursing down, channeled through the dirt to a color that burned with blood. "nusband, cb? Look here, does he beat you?" "N-no, slgnor." "Yes, he does," persisted the auto crat queerly eying her. "Oh, no, no, slgnor!" The train lumbered down to the sta tion. There was one more bridge to cross, the distance from the depot door to the cars. The platform was black with a fermenting crowd. However the musician felt the autocrat looked lazily confident, and the minute the train pulled in be threw open the door and marshaled the silenced minstrels out. It needed Just a match to Ore things, yet no one cared to strike It in the autocrat's face. There was covert crowding and shoving, the trio were Jammed into a pocket and the Italians were assailed by every one in swearing distance with a torrent of abuse. The steps of the passenger coach bad been blocked by ugly men. Without a word the autocrat shoved sideways and brought his pair to the door of the bag gage car, where the conductor stood. "Curran," exclaimed John Blair hastt ly, "take these people down to the Springs. They got into trouble here with a bear. Jump in there, Tony, lively r The man vaulted into the car. "Comer exclaimed the autocrat to the girl, taking ber arm. Then his eyes met hers, and he hesitated. "Look here," be muttered, bending over for her an ewer, "does be beat you?" The women behind crowded menac ingly up. The yelling was a bedla'm, that He knew about such things, knew the pull of them, how they sucked the at moaphere out of a corner all at once, and his gasp was evidence that the air bad left the corner be occupied. John knew nothing about summer bats, as big as Toledore ore baskets, nothing of trains that spread like Japanese fans over waxed, floors and dresses that mode the autocratic blood sweep Into the heart and out again at precise ly the same Instant, but be did know something of ventilation. Again the beat of the music drew her from across the room toward him, and he felt the pressure registering inside. He caught again a glimpse of ber face, ber lips Just parted by a smile. At the turn the turn' which bore her away her eyes for an Instant certainly rested on his, and she was gone. Twice again that evening John saw ber fairly, once In the promenade, when obe passed on the arm of the ivoried youth who bad led ber through the waltz. Passing, ber glance met bis look. Her eyes, no matter where cast or how, were glorious. And Sister Hat. tie Whispered, "John, Isn't she magnifi cent?" But John was silent They were Dtrds of passage, the Lynn people. Next day they were off to their headquarters at Stelle's, np the Notch. One day the autocrat was driving with Hattle when a big drag from above rolled swiftly past them. In the back of It beside a particularly of fensive looking chap, sat the presence of the ballroom, and again the marvel ous creature took John's breath. That day no more be thought of El Toledore.

Driakla Vaaaal Saa-aaaa Ptsaaas. Many poultry keepers make the mis take of using open receptacles, such aa an old saucepan or cracked diah, Oiling It np once a week and allowing it to be exposed to the son's rays. This hi a serious error, soya, a correspoodant of American Cultivator. Should a touch of disease appear on the farm the bird affected naturally drinks a lot and In so doing leaves the germs of disease behind for the others which follow, and so disease la spread broadcast. I maintain that the scalding of the tins Is very essential. No disease spreads so rapidly as by means of Infected drinking wster. Keep the water cool snd sbeolutely pure. Good Spirits.

"No, no, slgnor!" she cried, shrinking with fear. "Puta me in up please!' The autocrat laughed. He bent down again, and with the conductor lifting bis band for the starting signal be said something to her in Italian and looked into ber fluttering eyes. "No understands, slgnor," shivered the girl, clinging to ber violin. "Hang it" burst out John Blair, "can't yon talk your own lingo? I say if he beats you, come back here to me, and I'll kill him." The mob was surg ing, snd the train was moving. "Puta me In! Ob, puta me In!" she cried "Here you go, then!" be laughed, soft ly catching ber by the girdle.

The surgeon arrived and beard all about It He cauterized the wounds. There was some laughing and more tobseoo. But John took a moment wbea the doctor's eyes were In his in strument case, to drop tho gray ker chief, with Its red blotches. Into a drawer? The medical man spoke of the teeth of the bear, but the mind of the autocrat went to the woman's teeth as "slgnor" trembled between them. The Idea stole over bun that maybe, in spite of her half hearted de nials, the brute did beat ber. In Switch back, where bnt one woman passes In a lifetime, one may inauige ranctes, and that night when the print ef the bear's claws Itched be wondered whether she would ever come back If she were beaten and speculated on bow bad she would bare felt If be bad J oat let them bang Tony snd pulled ber safely out of it e - e - e '.

ONC TBIMO AND ANOTMEX lae aad Color et Plnaaasre Dlatlav smlah the DISTeaeat Varieties. W The distinguishing feature In the dif ferent breeds of turkeys Is In the color of the plumage and the size, writes a correspondent of American Cultivator. The bronze and the Narrsgansett are the larger varieties, the slate and the buff are next in size, snd the white Holland and the black are the smaller birds..- - Next to the bronze, the white Hol lands are probably the most popular snd are one of the hardiest and most profits bis varieties to keep. Their beautiful, snowy white plumage, bright red neck and bead and black beard on the breast give them a moat striking appearance. The standard weight Is less than for most other varieties; rang ing from ten pounds for young birds to twenty-six pounds for old males, but the size Is very satisfactory on the mar ket as It Is not always,, the largest bird s that command the best prices. Ane narragansoiia, wntcu are next vu the bronze in size, have been perfected In the New England states, especially In Rhode Island and Connecticut Their color Is black underneath, with each feather ending in a point of steel gray edged with black. This gives a grayish cast to the entire plumage. - As they ere full breasted and nave a proud and upright carriage, they make beau tiful birds. They are strong and vig orous, the standard weight for the male being from twenty to thirty pounds sad for the female from twelve to eighteen pounds. The buff snd slste varieties are not so common. In the bus the stanoara calls for a pure buff color throughout the entire plumage. The standard weight runs from eighteen to twenty seven pounds for males and from twelve to eighteen for females. How ever, I believe that these extreme weights are seldom sttalned. It. would seem more appropriata If the slats turkey had been called blue, as the standard calls for a solid ashy blue plumage throughout The female Is lighter colored than the male. The weights range from eighteen to twenty -seven pounds for males aad twelve to eighteen for females. The blacks are not aa common as any of these other varieties and bare been neglected for some years. Bow aver, interest In them has again beta awakened, and they have become a verr desirable vartetr.
