With a defected air, but quite sprightly, ragged, limping Coyote Pete hastened his steps frMn oft the Bayne domain. He had dinVpeared by the time its proprietor had turned around ^eady to carry out his threat Bayne Shrugged his shoulders and resumed tightening the girths of his horse. He* had acted brusquely for good reasons, he told himself. It was the frontier Montana rule. To his way of think ing Coyote Petq and his ilk belonged to the rubbish heap, so he had made short work of him. "Why, father, wasn't that rather rude?*' Inquired his daughter, Ruth, stepping through the doorway. She was pretty as a picture. Her sleeves were rolled up, and her shapely arms showed dimpled and, smooth. Her long, neat apron was flecked with flour, for this busy maid.was. both mlstressr and cook of the lonely Bayne home. "Rude!" repeated the ranchman carelessly., '.'It's the only way to*treat —-mm' Ale.! MM* ABBA 'latl't A such ^cattle as tlfat There Isn't a worse' loafer on the range.

Well she might, for thU was the "very happiest day of her life. "Before the eviehlng was over she expected to welcome her lover, Rodney MOrse. How she loved him! How.tender.and true he had been! A'month previ ous he had gone back east to sell out his interests there and take up a ranch, with Ruth as its mistress. It must have been half an.hour later when there came a timid tap at the door. Coyote Pete, his threadbare cap in his hand, stood on the step In an humble attitude. ,rWhy, won't you come in?" asked Ruth In her usual cheerful, generous way. "You look tired, and—perhaps hungry?" she insinuated gently,, "Not this time, Miss," replied Pete. "You see your father don't welcome me very heartily, and I don't want to intrude. But you're the only critter on the range ever takes time to give me a bite when I need It, and I want ed to do you folks a good turn. Your father wouldn't listen to me after I'd tramped twenty miles tov give you a warning." "A warning?" repeated Ruth vagu» ly. "1 understand your young man and toma friends arecomlng through on the stage this evening?" "Why—yes," replied Ruth slo.wly. "Well, I overheard two half-breeds down on the Taylor place talking early this morning, planning to join two other hard characters, hide be tween here and the railroad, and hold up the stage coach. They know sOr&e strangers are coming, and you see strangers are taken as free picking in ythls district." In a moment Ruth became alarmed. Within a quarter of an hour she and Pete had arranged to outwit th^ban dlts, His plan was to take the one horse left on the place and start down the trail to meet and warn the com ing stage coach. He had been gone two hours when the horse he had gone away with came back riderless. Instantly Ruth was on her mettle. She could only theorise that the ani mal had thrown Pete,, or that he had met the bandits. She quickly buckled a belt about her slender waist, sprang to the saddle, and was soon on the trail, feeling that time was very pre cious and haste urgent. Dusk had come on, but there was a clear, full moon. Ruth had gone about twenty miles, when at a bend in the road she drew rein promptly near some high bushes. A flicker, of light, like that of a match, suddenly flaring in among some heavy timbers ahead, had attracted her attention: Ruth tied the horse and began a detour of the vicinity. Within five minutes., true daughter of the frontier that she was, he un derstood- the:situation completely. She had viewed four men smoking and re clining in a natural hide-out. It seem- Up On the Roof. Peop'e in Los Angeles didn't love the cat'that got in the organ'* works. Especially the organist' didn't But away at the other side of the contin ent half a town'was troubled about the [welfare of a cat. It was in Pawtucket, R. I. A cat bad been chased by a dog or a boy or maybe its own fears and had crawled out of an attic window to the roof of the house. Then, as often hap pens, it was afraid to try the descent. It howled and was miserable, and the ed that during some recent storm a large tree had been bent over and half uprooted by the' force of the wind. The roots had been partly broken, but in sinking back to its old position the top, of the tree had caught under the heavy branch of an other tree a hundred feet distant. This held the Inclined tree as in a vise, but at a tugging tension. In the hole formed, where the roots had given way the men Pete had de scribed were hiding awaiting the com ing of the stage coach. Ruth crept cautiously around to the spot where the top of the tree was caught. Her experienced eye told her that this, once released, would shoot back to Its original position with catapult force. She had a long, sharp knife in her belt. She climbed the smaller tree and endeavored to cut through the limb that held the larger tree captive. For nearly an hour she backed and clipped. Suddenly in the dlstanoe she heard the echoing hoots of the stage coach horn saluting some lopely mountain cabin. She could see the men-in the tree hole getting ready to rush out when their anticipated vie times came within sight. "Oh, 1 must hurry! hurry" breathed Ruth ardently, In breathless excite ment, and renewed her endeavors with redoubled ardor with blistered bleeding hands. R-rip—snap—crash! -Like a strick en giant rising from the dust, the great tree at last tore free from Its fetters. There were shouts of dismay and frantic .yells of pain as the roots sank back into place, shutting the baffled plotters into a sure prison. Again the winding horn. Ruth ran. out into the road. She stood in its center, a statuesque and heroic figure in the white moonlight. The stage, coach came to a-stop. Her lover sprang out, and Ruth was enclosed in his loving arms. It did not take long for Ruth to ex plain. The driver and passengers managed to jdig away the"* sandy loam from the disturbed tree roots. Crush ed and subdued,, the outlaws 3appiness s( were dragged out and secured. Rutb had saved the passengers iniury and hei lover the little fortune he carried with him. They, searched for Pete, and found him where the horse had thrown him His head had struck a stone and h« was unconscious.1 Long before the weddlng.the out laws were convicted. Then Pete be came the handy man', about the -Morse place, where his greatest satlsfao oi\ ieemed to be to enjoy the -loylni of Rodney and his frontlei bride. (Copyright, IMS, by W.'G. Chapman.) STEPPED OFF SOCIAL LADDER Couple Gave Up Struggle for Some thing That Really Was Not Worth, All It Wss Costing. '0^0/ The night that a young man and hli wife decided, to quit the struggle for social position is described In Harper"* Basar in "The Confessions of a Climber" as follows: "It was morning before we had talked over all our plans. Wisely, we left the dead past to bury its dead, for there were corpses of failure in each of our paths-we could serve no good end by dragging into view. It was the living, livable future that con cerned us. jfBy ten p'clock that, morning I bad resigned from the membership of W fourteen clubs and had broken every social engagement, on my list. I said simply that I had found myself de moting too much' time and money to my social life. and I had decided to, withdraw.

"Do these. professional dancers, do the best they cii!" I asked a dancing master, and then I specified a young woman, who has just appeared at a Philadelphia theater. "That girt," s&Jfl he, "was a pupil of mine, and she can dance much better than she does on the stage. But she makes her dancing showy to please the audience. .From an artistic view point her public work Is considerably below what she is capable of doing. And so it Is with a great many others. They want applause, and to get It they violate many rules of good dancing In order tointroduce contortions that are' anything but the poetry of motion."— Philadelphia Public Ledger.

Rough-Coated Scotch Variety Is Not Only Useful Around pheep, but Can Be Taught to Drive Cat- 7 tie and Keep Watch. There is nothing more companion able when rambling through tho woods or walking In the country than a fine dog. On the farm a dog—a good one—Is as essential as other live stock. There Is no animal more intelligent or sagacious than a collie, and no dog is-more suitable for the farmer. Col lies are very beautiful, graceful in every movement and are active all the time. Their heavy coat adds to their beauty, and enables them to with-, stand all kinds of exposure. A collie is easily taught, and soon learns to do useful duties about the place with out bidding. They think and act for themselves In ah emergency, making most excellent watchdogs, and always show loyalty and love for their mas ter. If you have never taken a fancy to a dog just get a gopd intelligent collie and you will in a short time think nearly as much of him as any member of the family! The* make fine com panions fqr women and children. They are very affectionate and their affec tions are strong and lasting.' The rough-coated Scotch collie is one of the oldest breeds of dogs. Its History extends way back into ancient times when dogs of thlB breed were used by the shepherds to care for their flocks. It is today .used for this same purpose not only In'the west among the mountains and the plains,: but In England and Scotland, as well Rough-Coated Scotch Collie. as in every other cdbntry under the sun, where they, have made them selves indispensable. They are not only very Useful around sheep, but can easily be taught to drive cattle and to keep a general watch over them, as well as of hogs and of the poultry. Many a "collie has learned to keep fowls out of the garden and away from the front of the house without ever doingV any damage to them. The price of collies, as with fowlB, depends greatly upon the quality and what they sire wanted for. Some of our highest show types of collies are the most intelligent and useful around .the farm. Good puppies sell to the farmers at from $8.jjp to $10.00 each. The fancier who desires to raise col lie puppies pays from $10 to $150 for puppies not over two to four weeks old. One collie was brought "to this country, from England several years ago for $5,000, and one came last year at the reported price of $6,600. Every year several change hands at $1,000 each, and many at $100 up. Collies can be trained easily and quickly, to do many useful things, but there is one thing that should be borne in mind, and that is, the train ing should be done by only one per son. Do not let every member of the family take a hand In the training or the result will be a spoiled dog. When well trained, no farmer "will ever re gret having spent a little time and money on a collie. PROPER TRAINING^ OF COLTS Two-Thirds of Horses Called Vicious Can Be Managed, by Judicious Treatment—Many Spoiled.' Many valuable horses are spoiled by Improper or harsh treatment in train ing. A man who is Incapable of un derstanding the disposition of horses is certainly incapable of training them. Two-thirds of the horses that have been called vicious can be man aged by proper treatment, says the Farm and Home. It is bad policy to train a colt un less he is in the. best of spirits. The brain will be more active, therefore the disposition easier to control. On the. other hand, if yoj train a colt •While he is thin in fleBh, in poor spir its and on light food, as some men do, he will not take notice of objects, and when on good feed later he is not well trained. Have them in good spirits, give plenty of feed, and us less whip. SELECTION 0FFEEDER STEER Width and Stralghtness'of Back, With Accompanying Well-Sprung Rib,., Moat Desired. While* the butcher desires fineness of bone, and high quality in all parts so that'there Bball be little wastfe on the block, It is not desirable to have this go to extremes. A steer with too much refinement, as indicated by a light bone and frail head, and a small paunch, will not be able to stand the strain of-heavy feeding, and then fin ish out with the great weight that is desired. No one point is1 considered more im portant in selecting feeder steers than the width a'nd stralghtness of the back, with the accompanying well sprung rib. It is an ln,dex to the feed ing quality and points to the ability to put on meat in the expensive cuts. Fertilise Properly. Farmers'are paying out millions of dollars each year for fertilizers. Prob ably the greater part of. this money is well spent, but it Is possible that It might be better spent, by a more careful selection of the goods used, by adapting the fertilizer to the crops and soil and by buying on the basis of the plant food they contain rather than by seeking goods that sell at a low price. Reclaiming Old Orchard. Cutting out the dead wood and su perfluous branches, cultivating and' enriching the ground, spraying the. trees at the proper season are the principal methods of rejuvenating an old orchard. Be Gentle With Heifers. Always be gentle with the heifers. They are apt to be a little nervous at the start and require some patience on your part. Try giving them some thing to eat while milking. It will take their attenticta from the milker. "t"' $ MAKING THE PLOWING EASIER Hardeat Work That the Farm Hordes Are Called Upon to Perform—\ Keep Shares Sharpened. Plowing Is at best the hasdeat work our farm horses have to' perform. Few plow teams are not doing 10 to 30 per cent of unnecessary work. The writer has seen plows which he be lieved were pulling 60 per cent harder than they Bhould, writes E. W. Ham ilton in an exchange. We are told that about 50 per cent, of the draft of a plow Is due to the cutting of the furrow slice. The con dition of the cutting edge must then be of first importance. Expert plow men recognise this and in competi tions file their shares to knife edges. One authority claims that an old share resharpbned has shown SO per cent, heavier draft than a new share. Again, engine plows of the same make and else have under the same conditions shown 46 per cent, differ ence In draft In favor of the new fresh ly filed shares over resharpened shares In ordinary condition.' It will certainly pay to keep the plowshares sharp and In proper form. The set and adjustment of a plow has almost as much to do with the draft as condition of the share, A riding plow with rear furrow wheel should pull little or no harder than a walking plow or plows of the same widths. Yet how matfy do It? About 30 per cent, of the draft of a walking plow Is due to the friction pf the plow on the bottom and side of the furrow. In the riding plow-this fric tion is eliminated by carrying the weight and down and side pressure of plow bottom on--wheels. To accomplish'this the rear furrow wheel is set out about an inch and a quarter so that landslde cannot touch the side furrow. The wheel is also set down so the heel of landside Is raised oft the bottom of furrow. When so set the plow bottom will sink into the ground and hang there. When plow bottoms "float" In the frame none of the bottom and side pressure Is removed and the draft of the bot toms is the same as that of the walk ing plows to which must be added that due to weight" of plow frame and driver. LARGE SLIDING BARN DOORS Recoil 8pring Buffer Prevents Them From Jumping Track When They Are Thrown Open Quickly. Large sliding barn doors have a tendency to jump the track when they are thrown open quickly. This may be prevented by using a recoil spring to stop the door at the place where It is entirelkr- open, writes J: Harry Pri68tly of Lawrence, Mass., in the Popular 'Mechanics. A buffer or re coil spring can be easily attached to the outside of the building wall as shown in the sketch. The Buffer A is fastened on the ends of two Bllding pins, and C, each one inch in diam eter and 18 inches long. "The pins A Buffer Stops the Door. slide loosely through holes bored in the pieces and E, which are two inches square and 14 inches long, and fastened permanently in the right location. Two Btrong spiral springs are placed on the pins between the buffer head and the piece D... PLENTY OF GRIT FOR FOWLS Ground Oyster 8hells Contain Two Essentials That Are Necessary to Welfare of Flock. In-the early spring, before the grass is, grown and the fowls allowed to roam, they are likely to secure many pieces of long, tough grass left over from the fall, and these are hard to digest. The bird should be turned into a lot where there is plenty of sharp grit, for this will help them In grinding up any material which other wise might prove harmful. All food for fowls must be "chewed" very well before it can be properly digested, and this operation 1b per formed by the gizzard. The gizzard, however, cannot do this alone and must be Assisted by sharp gravel or grit Ground. oyster shells are good and serve two purposes, that of grit and lime. Both are essential to the welfare of the flock. Broken chlnaware Is good for grind ing, but contains no nourishing prop erties. The natural way'is the best one, that of giving the chickens a. good, free range over a large area which is full of grit, animal and vege table matter. They will be healthier and lay better than if confined and fed in yards. Getting Seed Grain Early. Do not wait until spring to clean and grade your seed grain. Do It while you have plenty of grain at hand from which to select The t^st twenty-five bushels of grain out of a hundred bushels are worth much more for seed than is the grain that can be cleaned from a much smaller amount in theft spring. The cost of thus cleaning and grad ing the grain is very slight and It enables one to have heavy, plump seed grain at very little outlay. Floor of Poultry House. The floor' of the poultry house should never be allowed to become foul or damp. Either one Is a disease breeder. Clean out often and add plenty of fresh material. A few bas kets of sawdust will help. Best Incubator Eggs. Many breeders claiqi that as a rule it will be found that eggs from hens in confinement will not hatch as well, when placed in incubators, as egngs from stock having free range. Diseased Trees. It is well to remember that the old and diseased trees not only take up valuable space in the orchard, but they are liable to spread disease among the healthy trees, and they always harbor pests that are injuri ous to the entire orchard. .'Birds Eat Worms. One insect eating bird like the chickadee has been known to eat 5,000 canker worms in a single day.( These are the. birds to make welcome In the orchard. f,£ 9 REALLY GOOD RECIPES WILL BE FOUND VALUABLE AD DITION TO THE MENU. Tomato Soup In Most Approved Fash ion—Excellent 8andwlches for Buffet Luncheon Oatmeal Cookies Easy to Make. Tomato Soup.—Take one quart can of tomatoes, cook and strain through colander to remove seeds and pulp put juice in porcelain pan and as it heafs slowly, add a pinch of soda, one teaspoon salt, a little pepper, lump of butter and sugar if desired. Stir this constantly until it boils, then add one quart of rich milk which has been heated to boiling point Put. one spoonful whipped cream on each dish of soup and serve hot with toasted crackers. Delicious sandwiches for a buffet luncheon may be made by, spreading ,thln slices of bread with melted cheese, then put in oven until light brown apd serve hot A tempting salad is made of can ned pears, cut In small pieces, mixed with pecan meats and served with mayonnaise dressing. A good recipe for nut bread Is: One cup sugar, one teaspoon lard or but ter, one quart flour, three teaspoons baking powder, one teaspoon salt, one cup chopped nuts, enough milk to make a soft dough. Let rise twen ty minutes and bake in «jpoderate oven. Oatmeal Cookies.—One cup sugar, one cup shortening, one and two thlrds lard, one-third butter, two eggs, two-thirds cup sour milk, one level teaspoon soda, one-half teaspoon baking powder, one teaspoon cinna mon, one cup currants, one scant cup oatmeal, add flour enough to make dough stiff enough te drop. White Layer Cake.—Beat one-half cup butter to a cream, adding grad ually one and one-half cups sugar then add one cup milk sift together two and one-half cups of flour with two*'teaspoons baking powder add this to mixture and beat for five min utes, then add whites of six eggs, beating all together thoroughly. -Chocolate Gelatin. Dissolve one-quarter box of gelatin in 1 pint of milk over theyflre add scant half-cup grated chocolate or co coa. Cocoa makes less rich and more easily digested dessert Using only one-quarter cup cocoa makes a palat able result, and still less rich than either of the other mixtures. When gelatin is dissolved add scant cup sugar and bit of salt and vanilla fla voring. Four Into mold and set aside to harden. Serve with plain1 cream, thin or thick. Or whip cream and flavor with vanilla. One-half (tap of heavy cream whipped is usually enough for this amount of jell, which makes a generous serving for two ex tremely fond of chocolate. A milk-thin boiled custard, lemon flavored, may be used instead of cream. Also a teaspoon of cocoa siay be beaten into the cream, and when put on the jell' dotted with tiniest beads of the jell. Pond Lily Eggs. Select nice oval eggs, boll in large kettle full of water, for at least twen ty minutes. Have water hot but not boiling when eggs iare put in, then keep water-simmering, but not boiling or they may crack. When time is up take up carefully and let cold water run over,' to loosen shell, remove shell carefully and then split the whites in to five.or six petals—begin at small end and do hot cut entirely to bottom. Now remove yolk carefully, mash well, add a little boiled dressing, salt and paprika, and replace enough of the mixture to simulate a half open lily, place, on bed of lettuce and lay strips of green peppers so as to rep resent a stem. Brown Hash. Free cold, cooked beef or mutton from fat or gristle and chop fine, sea soning It very highly with salt and -pepper. Add an equal quantity of cold potatoes, also chopped fine. Put ln° a frying pan, adding sufficient stock—water must .be used If you have no stock—to moisten thorough ly. Heat slowly, stirring often until very hot For one pint of hash spread over the top one tablespoonful of sweet beef dripping or butter, cover closely and draw to one side for twenty minutes, where it will crust on the bottom without burning. Fold over like an omelet and turn out a hot platter. Care of Machines, i' Sewing machines should be treated with great care if you would have them last a long while and do perfect work. After every two days of steady work oil the machinery thoroughly, but be careful to wipe'' away all super fluous Oil. Run the machine rapidly but steadily without any thread for five minutes after filing. This will cause the oil to scatter, and the su perfluous drops can be wiped away and none will be left to stain the ma terial you are-working. Bavarian Cream. Pour one-half cup of cold water over one box of gelatine, let stand until dis solved, which will be in about one hour then add two tablespoons boil ing water. Beat the yolks of four eggs with four tablespoons powdered sugar and stir into one pint of hot cream. To this add the gelatine, Stir until smooth and set aside to cool. Whip one pint with four tablespoons pow dered sugar and one tablespoon vanil la when the custard is perfectly cold stir in the cream and set on ice. 'r '-j To $et Colors.' To set blue add lavender, dissolve one ounce of sugar of lead in two and one-half gallons of hot water, stir with a wooden stick and let stand un til lukewarm. Soak articles in this two hours and then hang up to drip dry. They should be washed thor oughly afterward. For pink and green add one-half cup strong vinegar to two and one-half gallons of water. Proceed as aboye. New Kerchiefs. At one time any handkerchief that had Its Bnowy whiteness sullied by a colored border was considered poor taste, but now we not only think col ored borders quite desirable, but pale colored handkerchiefs are also chos en, and the newest thing Is a colored handkerchief with a different colored border. In both handkerchief and .hem the colors are very delicate, almost pastel In tints. A rich woman Is the noblest work •f God. CANADA WINS AGAIN JHE COLORADO 8ILVER TROPHY FOR OAT8 WON A 8ECOND TIME BY CANADA. The most recent achievement ot Canada's West Is winning for the seo ond time the magnificent $1,600 silver trophy awarded by the State of Colo rado for the best peck of oats. At Columbus, Ohio, in 1911, J. C. Hill ft Sons of Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, placed a peck of oats grown on their farm in competition, with oats from every part of the world. The judges had no difficulty In deciding, and the award was given to the Saskatchewan grown oats. In 1912, the Corn Expo sition had no exhibition, and our Ca nadian friends, although ready for a second contest had no opportunity. In 1913, the exhibition of the Society was held at Columbus, S. C., and it is said of it that it was one of the best yet held. At this exhibition,' which comprised corn and all the smaller grains, Hill Sons of Lloydminster had on exhibition for the contest an other peck of oats grown on their Saskatchewan farm, in 1912. There was no trouble for the judges, no time necessarily lost in reaching a decision. Hill it Sons won, and for the second time their name will appear on the crest of the cup. The third space will doubtless be occupied by their name, and then this splendid trophy will be theirs. During the past few tears Western Canada grains—wheat, oats, barley and flax—have been in competition with grains from all other countries, and In every case their superiority has been shown. It is not only in oats, but It Is in wheat in barley and in flax, that Canada more than holds Its own, when placed aide by side with grains from other parts. Mixed farming is taking a strong hold not only in those parts of Mani toba. Saskatchewan and Alberta, which up to the present have been de voted solely to grain growing, but also in the districts contiguous, where the conditions of climate, shelter, water, grass and hay make farming of this kind, easy to prosecute and large in profits. It was in the Province of Manitoba that the steer was raised that carried off the Championship of the steer class, at Chicago last De cember. This beast had been fattened on the grass and hay of the Province and the only finishing graln'lt had was barley not an ounce of corn. Western Canada presents innumer able opportunities for the big farmer who wants to cultivate his thousands of acres, the medium man satisfied with a? few hundred acres, the man who is content to farm his free home stead of one hundred and sixty acres It has opportunities for the investor, the capitalist, the business man, the manufacturer and the laborer.
