But i there was cot a livingj figure clear ! against the blue or dim against the i plain nothing but the bare, burnt rtraine and the gray streak of road. "It's all right, Sally," cried the boy, not looking down at her, for he feared she would go into hysterics, as he had once seen au Eastern girl do. "It's all right, Sally; we'll beat" them yet." At that my girl laughed. "I guess," she said, "you'ro not such a tender foot as they call you." Khe told me that he stared down at her in surprise for a moment, and then changed his tune and took her right into his confidence. "I'm looking for a good place- to fight," he said. "We can't get awav i from them by running. But wo must keep on until Ave see some cover within reach." , "Cover!" said Sallr. "We'll be better off in the open if it comes to shooting. They'll craAvl up to- you through the cover that is, if it's more than just a bush or two," for you see, Sally hadn't been born on the plains without learning a good- deal about Indian-fighting. "Well, that's a fact," Walter cried out. "But Hello! what's that?" and Sail- stood up and clutched hold of him, and they both stared while the old horses raced onwrrd.

I had intended to go, br.t John Hansford, a wool-dealer, bad sent word that he vvas coming that day. Walter was much pleased to take my place, for he pud Sally were great friend?-, and with only one road to follow, there war; no fear of missing the way. So, very soon after sunrise, the girl and boy set out on their forty mile drive to catch a train which was to leave Plattvillo at five that even- About two houi-r? after they had left, and a good deal earlier than I expected him, John Hansford rode up, and without waiting to shalie hands or to get on his horse, said: "Martin, you had better call your herders into camp mighty quick. They say, down at Truebury, that a small band of bad Indians is knocking about the country somewhere north of here. They've killed a Mexican herder and burnt his cabin, and now they've crossed the railroad coming this way." I lost no time. "Dick Taylor!" I shouted, and out ran tl only otuer man on my piaeu at mat time of day. "Saddle up hurry," I said, "there are Indians br'twit here and the rail road. We must gallop to overtake Sally and Walter." With his paper cap on bis head and bis hands covered with dough, Dick rushed with me to the stable; out came tho horses; on went the saddles, and in less than five minutes we three, all Avell armed, were galloping north ward. Meanwhile Walter and Sally had traveled some fifteen miles. They were jogging along, laughing and ready. chattering and Avatching the shifting j If you will think, you will see that mirages which aro always to be seen i he had a pretty good fortification at that time ot year, when my girl cried out: "Oh, look! There's a funny one! Then Walter saw what appeared to be the legs of live horses trotting along a "I see," said Sally, and her eyes brightened. "Guess what I -was afraid of, Walter. I was afraid the Indians would just "wait and watch us till we would have to leave this cold waters Now they'll have no time to wait until we're frozen out." Meantime the second" Indian had come up, taken the unhorsed man be hind him, and . galloped out of range with the others. Walter let them go un harmed. For the aspect of affairs had changed a good deal more, too, than the Indians knew. The redskins held a brief consulta tion at a safe distance; then one rode off toward one end of the pool, and an other toward the other end, while the remaining three began crawling from bunch to bunch of grass toward the wagon. This did not look, so danger ous to the besieged as the Indians probably supposed. "That's all very fine," said Walter, when he noted this manoeuvre, "but they haven't got half enough time to get us surrouuded. Howevar, ; I'll have to attend to the crawling ones. Sally, will you just keep your eye on the two on horseback, and tell me to look when they stop." So Sally walked out a few yards, stooping as she waded, so that tho water was over her shoulders, until tho wagon and horses no longer inter-' ccpted her view. There she crouched, with just her head out, aud watched tie proceedings, and- greAV exultant aud confident as she saw what tho In dians didn't even suspect. .

There they lay very flat, and moving with extreme caution until Sally cried out: "Walter, they've turned back! No, they're galloping away! They know, now!" "Oh, see them run!" cried Walter, as at that moment the three crawling Indians sprang to their feet, made a dash for their ponies; and rjode off helter-skelter. They had reason. Three angry, Avell-armed wrhito men were within half a mile of them, and riding on like mad. We had arrived in time. "Oh, father," said Sally to me, as I lifted her tip out of the water and kissed her, "Oh, father, I'm so glad you came in time!

"Must be pretty shallow," paid Walter, an idea jumping into his head. . He didn't ask Sally's opinion this time, but, man fashion, ho took his chalices. "Sit down and hold on tight, Sally," was all he said. With that he turned out of the road, whipped the horses into their best gallop and drove straight for the water, which Avas a shallow pond about three hundred yards wide aud four or five times as long.

There is great danger of blood poisoning if a hog bites the flesh. There is no poison in the hog's teeth as there is iu the faug3 of a poisonous snake. It is rather the poison which comes from the saliva, as the hog is a very indiscriminate feeder and not at ail cleanly. When a hog is made angry the amount of this saliva is greatly increased, end the danger is greater. Even a slight contusion from a hog's tooth should be. prompt ly washed out with some antiseptic. Dilute carbclio acid, one part of the acid to 2000 of water, is good and al ways a reliable antiseptic. Some should always be kept where it can be handiiy procured, to put on cuts or outside injuries received on any part of the body. It will greatly hasten their healing. Cost of nigh Bred Poultry. Convinced ibat he should follow the advice of those who knetv how to im prove the ilock of fowls, the farmer is naturally anxious to knoAv Avhat the cost of new blood "will be. If the flock is the ordinary farm stock, mainly mongrels, and tha grade is to be raised chiefiy from egg production, new blood of a dollar a head will be good enough. If the stock already on hand is of one breed and of fairly good quality, aud the new blood is desired to add to the size of eggs or to increase egg production or size of coming, chicks, then stock at four or even five dollars a hea l is none too good. If fancy fowls are wanted, bred to' the standard, then he must expect to pay anywhere from ten dollars up per bird. But where you can gst stock Avhuph ivill add to the value of that you already have. If increased egg production is wanted, buy from breeders who are wulling to guarantee that their stock is all they claim for it in the matter of egg production. If weight and markings are desired, buy from those making a specialty of these points. Last, but by no means least, not be fooled by the claim that north ern bred stock is , necessary to add value to southern flocks, or vice versa. It is agreed that certain seeds north ern grown are best for southern plant ing, but the claim will not hold good water with poultry. Buy where you can get the best value for your money and the nearer homA Ua better, other Li-ao uvriug equal. Atlauv Lime as Fertilizer. Those Avho believe that lime ifl necessary as a fertilizer, and their opinions are not based upon actual tests of the soil, they would do well to test it. Stir up four or five teaspoon fuls of the soil Avith enough water to make a thick paste. Allow it to stand fifteen minutes. . Then part the soil with a knife blade and insert one end of a 'strip of distinctly blue litmus paper (to be had at any apothecary store), pressing the soil about the pa per. After five minutes remove the paper carefully in order not to tear it and rinse quickly with Avater. If the blue color has disappeared and a red one taken its place, tho need of lime is probable. The fingers shouldnever be toadied to the end of the paper to be inserted in the soil, for they alono will redden it intensely. It would also be well to test as fol lows: Take two glasses, placo three teaspooufuls of soil in each and add water till half full; to one glass add tivo teaspoonfuls of ammonia Avaier, to be obtained of any druggist, stir both thoroughly aud again five minutes later. AHoav them to eettFe. and if the one to 'which ammonia was added gives a black inky looking liquid, and the other settles out nearly oleav, further evidence of the need of lime is given. The first test should bo relied upon if but one is used, but if tho second agrees with the first, the ease is fo much the more certain. Where lin:e is lacking, beet leaves often turn red and mauv of the vouug plants die. On light, sandy soil from 1000 to 2000 pound of air-slaked lime may be applied on the furrows and harrowed in,, preferably iu the autumn. On heaviei soil from one to two tons per acre may be used in this mauoer.

A lovely pillotr received by a bride recently was of white satin, with her maiden monogram embroi dered in silver. A spray of orange blossoms at one corner completed the bridal effect. A heavy white silk cord finished the pillow, and tasseU of whito silk and rilver were fattened one at each of the corners. Many pillows equally delicate and elaborate are shown in the shops, their beauty being somewhat detracted from by the realization of the difficulty with which they can be kept uusoiled.

If there are any lumps, repeat the bar To Clean GbiMware. Glassware will last longer and look better if the following hints as to its care aud preservation are regarded: Tepid water, the best castile or other pure soap and a stiff brush are the first essentials. After washing and rinsing place the cut glass in a boxwood sawdust. This will absorb the moisture in the cuttings. Next remove the sawdust from the plain surfaces with a soft cloth. By following these directions the original clearness and sparkle of the glass will be maintained. Shot should not be used in earfe, cruets, toilet articles and similar ves sels, it is very apt to scratch the glass aud thus mar its beauty. " Prosaic potato peelings are the best aids. Let them remain in the glass ware over night, and then rinse out with a little tepid water. A very important point is to avoid sudden changes from extreme heat to extreme cold and vice versa. A pitcher or tumbler which has been filled with ice water, a tray that has been used for ice cream, if plunged at once into hot water will be apt to crack. Use tepid water, and the risk of breakage is avoided. The sudden change from heat to cold is just as dangerous. Glassware "l"""11 ver be removed from a uome'neiiifcA aau UiVu6u.-.-i.-.v into contact with a cold substance. Cool the glass for a time iu water be fore subjecting it to tho extreme tem perature.

Suet Piiildiifg A cup of saet, chopped - fine; one of sugar, half a cupful of molasses, three of flour, four eggs well beaten. When these ingredients are stirred together, add a cupful each of raisins and currants, floured, and Buch seasoning as you prefer. We take ours plain. Serve Avith a soft dressing of butter and sugar, or butter, sugar, flour and vinegar. One-Egg Lunch Cake One tea- spoonful of butter, one scant cup of sugar, one egg, one and a half cups of flour, scant three-fourths cup of milk, three-fourths cup of cur'rauts, one tea spoon of baking powder. Rub the but ter to a cream, a id sugar gradually, then a well-beatt-n egg. Sift the floor and baking powder together, add the flour and milk to the mixture, beat L well; then add the currants. Beat up thoroughly and put in a loaf pan lined with greased paper. Enough for sev eral meals. Can be baked in small patty pauH. Delicious Cabbage Take a medium sized head of cabbage and cut it the same as for cold slaw, and place it in a stewpan Avith boiling water enough to cover it ; add a teaspoonf ul of salt and boil half an hour; then drain off the water and add one-half cupful of good vinegar and a tablespoonful of sugar; then set it on the back part of the range, to keep hot until the din ner is served. Just before sending it to the table, add half a cupful of rich cream. Cabbage cooked this way is excellent when cold. The only trou ble is, there is seldom any left to get cold, and jill say it is delicious.
