THE TABLES TURNED "A darn Jndo!" snorted Joo Dalzcy content ptuotJBjr. That was tho prnpral verdict from all tho lxys when Phil Ames mado his appearance among them at MidUkton'a ranrh. . - Delia Midtlletoo had returned home from the city, and Phil had come with her to tho ranch, where hex father wel comed him as the sou of ono of his friends and companions of other days. It was soon whispered also that Phil was a ruitor for Delia's hand, and that alone was sufficient for him to ho watch ! clom-ly and criticised l.y tho cow-bm-s, who, every ono of them, were ready to swear by and to do anything in their power to plense the qneen of the ranrh. Miss Delia Middloton. Phil Ames, at a first glance, looked rather effeminate, but npon closer ob servation ho proyed to be qnito other wise. There, was not a surplus ounce tif fl ah about him anywhere, and his frame was well knit and strong. More over, Phil waa a pleasant, easy going fellow whom nothing 6eemed to disturb, and whoso temper was the sunniest in the World. Thercforo a couple of woelts at tho ranch was eufiirknt for Phil to guin tho good will of everybody around the place. Even Joo Dnlsey, the most crit ical among them all, had to admit that bo was not half so bad as bn looked and might improve into a right good fel low if ho utaid at the ranch long enough. In the rough play among the cowboys I'lnl bel j bis own easily and often turn ed their rndo jokes so that they lost their sting, or fartened tho langh on him who had cp?ctcd to seo Phil mado ridiault.ns. Joo Dalzey considered Limsclf the lead?r among tho boys on tho ranch, and they seldom ventured to differ with him in hia opinions', which bo never failed to express with all the decision and emphasis be conld master. Ono evening after Phil had been at tho ranch nearly a month Mr. Middle ton came iato tho house whero ho and Delia were together. "I have to send a squad of the boys over t Eakl prairio tomorrow, and I don't lrnowwliTe in thunder I'm going to find a cook la go with them,' be said. "What ia tho matter with Edmunds, papa?" ct.kcd Delia. "He is down with tho chills, and that puts him ont cf tho question. There is Andrews, too. gone off to town and won't be back for a week," said Mr. Middleton. "Can't yon get one of tho others to cook?" Rhked Delia. "Why. there isn't cno of them can make a biscrit tli::t wouldn't choko a dog." "Supposo yon send Dinah and my self with them? Wo conld manage, I reckon," said Delia, laughing. "But what would liecome of ns who bave to stay at home?" "Do your own cooking or starve," langhed Delia. "I'm afraid it would be tho latter most of tho time," said Mr. Middleton. "No. I've cooked for a camping ontfit before now, and if the worst comes to the worst I can do it again, only I can hardly snare the time." "I'll go and cook for them. Mr." Mid dleton," said Phil. "I suppose it ia only coff-e, bacon, biscuits and a batch of combread occasionally. " ' "Yon cook!" exclaimed Mr. Middle ton. "Why, my boy, they'd mob you at the first meal." "Why do yn think so?" "Your cookery wonld drive them to it. Tbey would bavo to do it in self defense, yon know kill yon or starve to death t bent wives." "Tbey wonld have to do neither, I assure yon," protested Phil, laughing. "I am a better couk than yon think. I hope yon have nut forgotten that I staid in the monntainsof Colorado nearly the whole of last year? I did the most of tbo cooking for the three of ns there, and, if I say it myself, there was ro cue ever turned np his nose at what I placed on the table." For awhile there was a lively discus sion about Phil going ns cook with the cowboys, but be finally gained the con sent from both Mr. Middleton aud Del la, and it was decided that he conld go, provided bo would not blame them if anything went wrong. The next day therefore be drove away in the wagon containing the raw materials on which ho was to display bis art as a f rat class cook for a cowboy camp. "If Phil comes ont on top in this tm-, capado," laughed Mr. Middleton. look ing at Delia, "I shall bave no objection to him as a son-in-law." "He'll do it, papa," said Delia, blushing prettily. Tho cowboys bad struck camp and pitched their tents at the first branding pen. They had eaten tbo first supper Phil had cooked for them, and they bad en joyed it, praising it in unequivocal terms. One of the boys bad occasion to go to the wagca for something after supper and saw something white, neatly fold ed, lying to cno side. Ho picked it np to see what it was and found it to bo a white shirt with a highly glossed front. . "A boiled shirt!" ho exclaimed. For n moment ho hesitated, then ho rolled tho ehirt np carefully and took it to whero his companions whero sitting or lounging around their tent. There was a whispered consultation. "Some of you kindlo a fire," said Dalzcy. "I'll ge t tho branding irons. A couple of yon fellows bad ljettrr go over to whero Phil is busy and keep him there as long as yon can." Tho lire was kindled. The branding irons were put into tho fire, and when they were sufficiently heated tho boys went to work and "run" every brand they knew npon tho white shirt r-prcad ont npon the gronnd liefore them. Thero were nnnilx-rs and letters and combinations of both. There (cere the "rail fences" the "bull's head. the "antlers" and the "jng." There wero circles and semicircles, bars and double bars, with all their variations, and lines straight and crooked in every possible position and enrve. Altogether it was an artistic piece of woik. covering every inch from hem to neckband and ontward to both ends of the sleeves. The next morning when Phil got np bcftiro daylight to prepare breakfast bo found tho shirt spread ont, fastened ta tho hind end of the wagon. He looked it over carefully and smiled. "I forgot to pnt it lack in the valiso : yesterday evening," bo mused to him ' self as ho was hurrying with his work. I was somewhat surprised when I fonnd it among the other clorhcs, but in the harry of packing it mn;;t have slipped in somehow accidentally." During the time ho was cooking breakfast bo chuckled to himself fre quently, and once or twice langhed out loud as be thonght of the plan he was forming to pay the boys back in the same coin they had given him. From day today pieces were cut from tho branded shirt, which Phil had left hanging to tho end of tho wagon where he had fonnd it. Tho boys watched the pieces disappear, until on the even ing lieforo they were ready to break np camp and return home thcro was noth ing left of it but tho seams and wrist bands. "What's becomo of your toiled shirtt Phil V" one of them at-ked. riiil looked around and viewed tho remains of it. "It looks liko somebody has been eat ing it." ho 6aid laughingly. "At any rate, there are only the tough parts of it left." That was all they conld get octcf him just then. They returned to the ranch tho next day, and tho boys, with ono voice, praised Phil's cooking very highly to Mr. Middleton. "Bnlliest cook we ever bad," cried Dalzey. "And be takes a- joke like a man," put in another. Then they told Sir. Middleton and Delia, who had jnst joined them, how they had treated Phil's white shirt, and how he had apparently enjoyed tho joko as much as any of them. "Let ns have a look at it," cried Delia, langhing and clapping her hands. Phil went to the wagon and held np before them what remained of tho shirt. "Bnt what became of the rest of it?" Delia asked. "I fed it to the boys," replied PhiL langhing now. "They thonght they didn't like boiled shirt, but I noticed that they devoured a good pieee of it every day. Every morning I cut off a good sh-e, chopped it np fine, fried it. browned it. scorched it and ground it np and put it into everything I set be fore them. Yon have their own words for it that they liked inv cookery boil- ed shirt a la Phil Ames." For a moment there were some low ering brows, bnt when Dalzey stepped forward and gave his baud to Phil the clouds vanished. "Phil," he said, "you're a brick! Hope yon will stay at the l ajtch always, and when the day comes, dam 1-.1v pic ture if I don't wear a boiled riiirt and dance at the wedding." Delia and Phil looked at each other and Unshed, and Mr. Middleton langh ed heartily. John P. Sjolander. - Snow la Switzerland. Some of the mountain railroads in Switzerland find it advantageous to open long before the snow melts on their npper parts, and to do this an enormous amount of snow has to 1 e shoveled away. One May, when the road from Olion, on Lake Geneva, up to Rocher de Kaye was opened, the cars ran for some distance between walls of solid compressed snow 13 to 20 feet high. When the work began, one of tho up per stations bad disappeared, and it was supposed that it had been swept away by the winter storms, A rounded ele vation was recognised as the site of a water tank, and from this the position of the station was determined, and ex cavations were begun. After digging down six feet the e novelet struck not the foundation, bnt tho roof of the sta tion, which was in its place intact. Tha Origin af Tariff. ' Tariff was originally the name of a Moorish chief, who, having a port in Spain, near Gibraltar, was accustomed to levy toll on passing vessels. His toll became a regularly understood thing, and the amount was added to the price of the goods. (Mm ta Jail la a Back. One ot the most surprised men that ever alept a eight in the city jail is a resident of a nearby town. He came to Helena not long ago, and starting ont with a consider able sum of money soon became utterly un conscious of bis surroundings and laid down to sleep ia the middle of Main street. An officer found him there, and calling a hack pnt him into it and took him to the city hall. He was searched and nearly (300 was found on bis person. Out of this the hnckman was paid, and the visitor was given a bed in t be jail. The next morning be was duly solier, and after breakfast he was told he conld go, nocharge being made against him.' - "I wonder what I did with my money?" queried the man. 'How much did you have?' was asked. "The lsst 1 remember 1 had $107," he re plied. "Well," said the court clerk, "here to 81G5.50, and counting the $1.30 yon paid the biicktnan that makes it all right," The man took the money, counted it, put it in his pocket and stood for a moment or two apparently in a brown study. Finally he turned to the clerk and asked: "Did I come to jail in a hnck?" "Yon did most assuredly," said the clerk. "Well," said the lodger, "I have heard of a good many fools in my life, but I believe I aiu the biggest. The idea of a man hir ing a hnck to take him to jail!" Helena Independent. A Lciej Wait.
