Two Fools and A Woman By F. B. Wright Copyright, 1904, by T. C. McCure "The firemen's ball is going to be next week, and I want you to take me." Thus spoke Gloriana McRay with a dewy tenderness in the depths of her dark eyes. Coventry had intended leaving Yellow River at the week's end, but he hesitated. "All the boys from the ranches are coinin' in to it and the firemen off the road," said Glory persuasively. "It'll be a mighty swell fandango." She sighed and glanced at Coventry. "I'd sure like to dance with you once—just to remember," she added with a wistful ring in her voice. It would only be a few days longer, Coventry said to his conscience, and besides, it would make good material for a sketch—this cowboy hall. As for Glory, "she'll forget me in a month or so," thought he. "Meanwhile who is the harm in it of a bit of dirtation with my western rose?" It was to a jack rose that Coventry compared her on the night of the dance. The excitement and the swift motion had sent a warm, rich flush to her cheeks. The black masses of her hair were charmingly disordered and her eyes flashed and sparkled with pleasure. She was a good dancer, too, Coventry discovered, and even the clumsy, heavy footed cowboys who were at intervals her partners could not spoil the easy grace of her movements. There had not been many of them. On the tawdry little dance card the initials "B. C." occurred very frequently after the numbers. Not all of them Coventry had danced. Some he had "sat out" on the upper porch of the hotel, with the moonlight silvering the sagebrush and softening the harsh contours of the distant buttes and inclining the heart of man to tender sentiment. Glory never had enjoyed any dance as she had this, she told Coventry frankly, and her eyes more than said the same thing as she swayed and swung to his guiding beneath the hot lamps of the hotel dining room. It was all rather interesting, Coventry thought in one of the intervals when his partner was dancing with some one else, but on the whole he no harm, and the next day it's rorgotten." "It's forgotten—I see! You've just been havin' fun with her then—not meanin' anything—like they do back whar you come from." "Exactly." "An' you're a-goin' back an' leave her after makin' her love you. It maybe is all right in your section, but we don't call it square hyer—not with nice gals." "But the girl doesn't care for me. She has a passing fancy perhaps, but that's all." "Yit she let you kiss her thar on the porch tonight. I seen her." Coventry arose angrily. "I'm not accustomed to have my"—he began, but Mort interrupted. "I know you ain't, but you're goin' to be. I'll trouble you to set quiet thar while I talk. You come hyer an' meet a gal. She's a nice gal, an' a purty gal. She ain't never seen a man liken you—or heerd one. The men she knows ain't much on dancin' an' scrapin' an' bein' dressed up. They are just men—the men around these hyer parts." "You know that gal is fallin' in love with you more an' more every day, an' yet you stay hyer. When she gives you what I ain't never even dared to ask her for; when she cares so much she ain't carin' who sees it, why, you gits ready to pull your freight for home an' forgit her offun your mind." "It's a powerful curious world." Mort continued, with a grim smile. "It don't appear to be put together right somehow. Hyer I am lovin' the very groun' she steps on, an' she ain't carin' for me any more than for that same ground. An' she loves you, an' you'"—The man's face worked in the moonlight, and Coventry was genuinely sorry for him. "It will be all right, old man," he said, "when I'm gone." "You're not goin' away," Mort returned quietly, "leastways not until you've married Glory." "Are you crazy?" Coventry cried. "You made her love you. Well, now you're-goin' to marry her." "But if I won't?" "Then I'm goin' to kill you!" He said it quite calmly, and before Coventry realized the words he saw the moonlight glinting along the barrel of a revolver. "Some men," said Mort, "would have put a bullet into you when you fast come hyer foolin' around, but I thought you was in earnest, an' Glory was happy." "Do you mean to say you're going to murder me unless I agree to your crazy nonsense?" Coventry had danced. Some he had "sat out" on the upper porch of the hotel, with the moonlight silving the sagebrush and softening the harsh contours of the distant buttes and inclining the heart of man to tender sentiment. Glory never had enjoyed any dance as she had this, she told Coventry frankly, and her eyes more than said the same thing as she swayed and swung to his guiding beneath the hot lamps of the hotel dining room. It was all rather interesting, Coventry thought in one of the intervals when his partner was 'dancing with some one else, but on the whole he was rather glad he was going to leave the next day. He had not told Glory he was going. There was no need of spoiling her fun. It was best for her that he went. Perhaps he had paid her too much attention; she did not realize the gulf between them, and besides she had been rather too demonstrative this night. That was one of the difficulties of an affair with a woman of such a simple, unsophisticated nature. He looked at her critically as she swirled by, and she returned the look with a dazzling smile and a softening of the eyes that Coventry could not mistake—nor any one else, he feared. She was a beautiful woman, of an admial type, of course, but— Coventry's thoughts were interrupted here. Some one had touched him on the shoulder. It was a tall, fresh faced, brown haired young fellow, one of the outfit from the Three Forks ranch, as Coventry knew by name. "I'd like to speak with you, if so you don't mind?" said the man. There was just the suggestion of a frown between his keen gray eyes. "Certainly," replied Coventry. "Sit down." "Not hyer. It's a little too promiscuous hyer for what I've got to say. Maybe you wouldn't mind taking a little paseur outside?" Coventry rose and followed the man, and together they strolled down to the river's edge. There was a fallen log here, on which Coventry seated himself. "Fire away," he said, lighting a cigar. He offered one to his companion, but it was declined. The man hesitated for a moment, as if he found it hard to commence. "My name is Hackett," he said gravely. "Mort Hackett. Maybe you've heard it?" Coventry bowed courteously. "I hear tell," Mort continued, "that you're lowing to go back east tomorrow. Is that a fact?" "Yes," answered Coventry. "Want me to do something for you back there?" "No, I reckon not. It's somethin' hyer I want you to do. It's to answer a question. What are you goin' to do about Glory?" "About Glory? What should I do about Glory? What do you mean?" "You know right well what I mean. Are you going to marry the gail?" "And may I ask, Mr. Hackett, in my turn, what affair it is of yours what I intend to do or not do?" said Coventry coolly. "Are you Miss McRay's guardian?" "Maybe I be," returned the other lady. "I reckon you've the right to have you cryy." Coventry tried. "You made her love you. Well, now you're goin' to marry her." "But if I won't?" "Then I'm goin' to kill you!" He said it quite calmly, and before Coventry realized the words he saw the moonlight glinting along the barrel of a revolver. "Some men," said Mort, "would have put a bullet into you when you fast come byer foolin' around, but I thought you was in earnest, an' Glory was happy." "Do you mean to say you're going to murder me unless I agree to your crazy nonsense?" "I don't know about murder. It ain't murder to kill a snake. But anyway I'm a-goin' to kill you unless you do as I say. You want to think mighty quick. I'm goin' to count ten, an' then'"— Coventry knew what would happen then, and he had an instant picture of all that would follow his refusal and a vivid sense of his folly. "One—two—three"—the words fell steadily like strokes of a pendulum—"four-five"—There was a rustle of parting twigs, and Gloriana sprang out of the willows by the stream edge. "Don't shoot, Mort!" she cried as she sprang between the men, and then she said something which stings Coventry even to this day when he thinks of it. "Do you suppose I care for him," she cried, pointing disdainfully at Coventry—"him?" Again came she accent which hurt. "It was you I eared for all along, only you wouldn't speak, am' I had to make you jealous so you would, only I didn't think it would come to shootin'. I want a man, an' I've got him!" Mr. Coventry didn't stay for the wedding. He went home, as he intended, the next day, but in telling his adventures in the west he says nothing about how he was used as a stalking horse. Who Supported Atlas? Not long ago the genial superintendent of a public school was asked by one of his youthful friends to listen to the latter's rehearsal of a lesson in which there was a reference to Atlas. "Do you know who Atlas was?" asked the superintendent. "Yes, sir. He was a giant who supported the world." "Ah! Supported the world, did he?" went on the superintendent. "Well, tell me who supported Atlas?" The little fellow looked as though he had not given the subject any particular attention, but showed immediate willingness to think it over. The superintendent stood looking on, trying hard to keep back a smile, but the youngster finally brightened up and answered: "We well. I think he must have married a rich wife." A Bishop's Comment. Bishop W. A. Candler was once advocating a more liberal loosening of the purse strings and told his audience that several years before he sent an article to a paper, in which he said, "We pray too loud and work too little." The compositor, consciously or unconsciously, perpetrated a little joke, for when the article appeared it read, "We bray too loud and work too little." "I let it go at that," said the bishop. In the war with France, the French revolution, and drummer not more than fifteen of age, having wandered camp too near the French seized and brought before the commander. On being asked was by the general he ansi drummer in the English service not gaining credit, a drummer for, and he was desired to plede of marches, which he did. The Frenchman's suspicion however, not quite realised the drummer to beat "A retreat, sir?" repiled the don't know what that is." So so pleased the French office dismissed the drummer and his general commending his savior. One Secret of Carnegie's Business rivals of Andrew were at one time helpless for his ability to undersell whatever market they turned experts quietly to look work and report. Mr. Carmen said, heard of their presence vited them to an inspection, self as guide, and at last show them the secret of him. He took them into a room books and reports, where clerks were at work on document figures. This room represent pendence of $80,000 a year worth that," said Mr. Carmen business man to know at any all the details of his bu World's Work. The Butler's Pantry The modern term "butler's marks the coalescence of two formerly distinct, when the boteler," presided over them or "botelerie," and the "painter," over the pantler's closet.

"Are you Miss McRay's guardian?" "Maybe I be," returned the other gently. "I reckon you've the right to know before you answer." He put a foot on the log and looked down at the moon flecked river. "You see, I love her," said he simply, "can so I've got to know. I've been lovin' her this long time, since she first come liver a young gal.

"Ah yet you've been right familiar with her sense you've been hyer—ridin' an' walkin' in the buttes an' sittin' out in the moonlight. There's been eight engart talk." "I'm not responsible for the talk if fools choose to make it," said Coventry impatiently. "I've done nothing more than I would with any pretty girl back east." "Then you don't keer for her.

The moonlight makes him a bit sentimental." "An the gal?" "The girl too. A little flirtation does answered: "Well, I think he must have married a rich wife." A Bishop's Comment. Bishop W. A. Candler was once advocating a more liberal loosening of the purse strings and told his audience that several years before he sent an article to a paper, in which he said, "We pray too loud and work too little." The compositor, consciously or unconsciously, perpetrated a little joke, for when the article appeared it read, "We bray too loud and work too little." "I let it go at that," said the bishop. "The fact is, I believe the printer was right, and I never ventured to correct him." Benefits Reversed. French and German had proved too hard, but Algernon took up the study of Italian with high hopes. "How are you and your Italian teacher getting en?" asked one of Algernon's friends when the study had proceeded for three months.

The Death Penalty A little thing sometimes results in death. Thus a mere scratch, insignificant cuts or puny boils have paid the death penalty. It is wise to have Bucklen's Arnica Salve ever handy.

Wife—Why, John, what do you by burning our old love letters' band-I have been reading the dear. After I die some one whie ed to contest my will might get of them and use them to prove insane. Ventriloquism. Ventriloquism is but the peculiar method of vocalization which, differing from the ordinary colloquial way of making articulations forward in the mouth, alters the directions of these sounds by so managing the conformation of the mouth and lips as to keep back the vocalized sounds and cause their utterance to be so muffled and hollow as to appear like sounds more or less remote. It may be described as the art of speaking in such a way as to cause a hearer to believe that the sound comes not from the person speaking, but from a different source. The sounds are formed by the same organs as the emissions of sound commonly—the larynx, the palate, the tongue, the lips, etc. The art of the ventriloquist consists merely in this: After drawing a long breath the performer breathes it out slowly and gradually, dexterously modifying and diminishing the sound of the voice by the muscles of the larynx and the palate. Besides this, he moves his lips as little as possible and by various contrivances diverts the attention of his audience. The Vital Element In Art. Surely the vital question as to any creative work must be, What lasting effect does it have on him who has once come under its spell? That effect must always take the form of a more or less vivid and enduring impression stamped upon the memory by the greatest artists, the imagination. Few may be able even to recall that hour of delicious terror, doubt and hope, whether in the actual theater or curled up with the follo in the cozy corner, while we really wondered breathlessly whether Juliet and Romeo would at last escape together through the tomb of the Capulets to some far land that does not sin against the rights of youth. But now what is it all to us save a single pathetic picture of love, despair and death? The end is, indeed, even while we watch the passing scene, always much nearer to us than the beginning. Mercutio, Paris, Romeo, are dying already, when they utter their first defiant jest or tender phrase—Scribner's. Something He Didn't Know. In the war with France, previous to the French revolution, an English drummer not more than fifteen years of age, having wandered from his camp too near the French lines, was seized and brought before the French commander. On being asked who he was by the general he answered, "A drummer in the English service." This not gaining credit, a drum was sent for, and he was desired to beat a couple of marches which he accordingly Superintendent Porter's Reprt To the Honorable Board of Directors of the A. U. W.

Respectfully submitted, A. L. FORTER, Supt. The Iconoclasts. Iconoclasts were image breakers. The controversy respecting images, which had been introduced into churches for popular instruction about A. D. 300, was begun about A. D. 726 and occasioned much disturbance and loss of life in the eastern empire. Leo Isaulicus published two edicts for demolishing images in churches in that year and enforced them with great vigor in 786. The controversy was carried on in the church, and the schism was the occasion of the second council of Nice, A. D. 787. The iconoclasts were finally excommunicated at the eighth general council held later at Constantinople, and this controversy led to the separation of the Greek and Latin churches. Many images were destroyed in Eng. FARMERS' INSTITUTE AT LONG BEACH. Expert Agriculturists Will be in Attendance from Various Parts of the State and Will Discuss Subjects of Interest. Beginning at 10 o'clock Tuesday, August 23 and continuing with morning, afternoon and evening sessions until Saturday, an important Farmers' Institute will be held at Long Beach. Some of the best-known expert agriculturists in this part of the county will be in attendance and will take part in the proceedings. The subjects to be discussed will be of interest to ranchers generally in this section of the State, and will include most of the perplexing problems which confront orchardists and other tillers of the soil. The institute will, of course, be open to the public and opportunity will be afforded those interested in any of the subjects to secure information on any particular matter which may be under discussion. It is expected that there will be a large attendance. The complete programme follows: Tuesday, August 23, 10 a.m.: Music; invocation; announcements; "The Insect Problem," Commissioner S. A.

On being asked who he was by the general he answered, "A drummer in the English service." This not gaining credit, a drum was sent for, and he was desired to beat a couple of marches, which he accordingly did. The Frenchman's suspicion being, however, not quite removed, he desired the drummer to beat a retreat. "I don't know what that is." The answer so pleased the French officer that he dismissed the drummer and wrote to his general commending his spirited behavior. One Secret of Carnegie's Success. Business rivals of Andrew Carnegie were at one time helpless to account for his ability to undersell them in whatever market they turned to. They sent experts quietly to look over his work and report. Mr. Carnegie, it is said, heard of their presence. He invited them to an inspection, with himself as guide, and at last offered to show them the secret of his success. He took them into a room lined with books and reports, where a dozen clerks were at work on documents and figures. This room represented an expenditure of $90,000 a year. "It is worth that," said Mr. Carnegie, "for a business man to know at any moment all the details of his business." World's Work. The Butler's Pantry. The modern term "butler's pantry" marks the coalescence of two offices formerly distinct, when the butler, or "boteler," presided over the buttery, or "boteler," over the pantry or bread closet. The duties of carver, sewer and cupbearer were held to be very honorable ones and could be discharged by men of high rank, and in great establishments the butler, the panter, the porter and the officers of all the several household departments had each his own contingent of grooms and yeomen. Marie Antoinette's Shawl. Marie Antoinette's lace shawl, which she gave on the scaffold to her father confessor, the Abbe de l'Orme, is still a existence. The abbe, who emigrated, left it at his death to the Prelate trobbach in Breslau. It has since passed through the hands of two or threeergymen and was finally presented to one church at Neunedorf by Pastor Melarichs. Where He Falls.

The only trouble is that is idea of a good living grows with its income."—Exchange. The Nerve of Them. It is a curious fact that as late as the middle of the nineteenth century there existed indeed there may still exist—among the good people of Cavan and Tyrone a belief that rats may be charmed away by rhymes and other magical means. One of my acquaintances was told by an Irishman of a case of "bilting" rats—that is, of clearing them out of one place and lodging them in another. No pipe was played. Indeed the method was a mystery, but the rats came flocking out of mill and granary an hour before midnight and moved away in a compact mass to their newly appointed lodgings. It was a brilliant moonlight night, and scores of people besides the narrator followed them as they trooped down the roads and through a sleeping village to their destination.—Sunday Magazine. Fire Under Water. Fire under water may be produced by placing some small pieces of phosphorus in a conical shaped tumbler and then covering them with the crystals of chlorate of potash. Next fill the glass with water and then add a few drops of sulphuric acid, the acid to be applied directly to the phosphorus and potash crystals by means of a long tube. If the experiment is properly carried out tongues of bright red flame can be seen flashing up through the water, the intense chemical heat produced by the action of the sulphuric acid on the potash and phosphorus being sufficient to inflame the latter, although entirely covered with water. A Great Difference. At a dinner given by Governor J. K. Vardaman of Mississippi the subject of toasts came up. "A very good toast," said Governor Vardanan, "and one that comes home forebliy to all men in office, was once proposed by the learned Ashley Stockton of Montpellier. The occasion was a farewell banquet to the governor of Vermont, whose term of office was expiring. "Here,' said Ashley Stockton at this banquet, 'is the health of all governors. They come in with a great deal of opposition, but they go out with none at all.'"

I suffered with falling and congestion of the womb, with severe pains through the groins. I suffered terribly at the time of menstruation, had blinding headaches and rushing of blood to the brain. What to try I knew not, for it seemed that I had tried all and failed, but I had never tried Wine of Cardui, that blessed remedy for sick women. I found it pleasant to take and soon knew that I had the right medicine. New blood seemed to course through my veins and after using eleven bottles I was a well woman. Mrs. Bush is now in perfect health because she took Wine of Cardui for menstrual disorders, bearing down pains and blinding headaches when all other remedies failed to bring her relief. Any sufferer may secure health by taking Wine of Cardui in her home. The first bottle convinces the patient she is on the road to health.

A law of one of the old Saxon kings of England decreed that the killing of a cat was punishable by death, and curious as it may seem, this law was in existence until less than fifty years ago.

She offender was maleled in a heap of corn sufficient to cover the defunct animal when held up by the tip of its tail with its whiskers teaching the floor. Among the Ladies.

FACTS ABOUT ANAHEIM Sketch of the industries and Resources on this Most Beautiful Part of California. The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from the foothills, and 148½ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Anaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, ostrich farm, bank, several adequate commercial houses, two hotels and two newspapers. The city also owns its water and lighting plant. FACTS ABOUT ORANGE CO. The census bureau has issued a bulletin on agriculture in California which we quote from extensively in another part of this issue. One of the interesting features of the report is the paragraph giving the number of farms and acres of farming lands in the five Southern California counties. The pre-eminence of Orange county is apparent: Counties. No. farms. Acres. Los Angeles...6577 895,663 Orange...2388 569,436 Riverside...2340 427,097 San Bernardino...2350 219,132 San Diego...2698 809,419 But it is in the acreage of irrigated lands that Orange county takes easy precedence over the other counties of Southern California: Counties. Acres. Los Angeles...85,644 Orange...41,549 Riverside...32,947 San Bernardino...37,877 San Diego...16,022 The area of Orange county is 780 square miles; that of Los Angeles, 3880; that of Riverside, 7008; that of San Bernardino, 20,055, and that of San Diego, 8400 square miles. Orange county thus contains one-fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area to one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres, or a fourth more than the belauded county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State. Nasal CATARRH In all its stages.
