It contained nearly an acre, surrounded with a lofty and solid fence. On the outside of that fence leaned the men and the women; the youngsters were perched on the top rail; for the entire population had turned out to witness tho contest. For the quality of the combatants was known. Now and then eyes turned to a rear window of the Purvis house. Stretch ed in agony on his bed, with three | ribs smashed in, a great scalp wound | furrowing his head, ard his left arm! fractured in thres places, Charlie Purvis could still turm his head and | sce the' battle through his window. | It was for that reason-that he had donated the corral, as every one knew. He had tried to ride the Captain the day before, and now he wanted to see] some other hero conquer where he had failed--or fail and perhaps pay a penalty almost as grim as his own. | The picked riders of the country had gathered for the testing. There were a score who had courage enough to make an attempt to conquer the; great black stallion. And there were three famous horsemen who were be- leved to have an excellent chance of riding the big devil These were Lefty Gilmore, Sam Ricks, and Champ | Hudson, men or genius, every one, | when it came to the governing of a| pitching horsa. | Now entered the great antagonist, dragged along by a half dozen ropes twisted over the saddle horns of tug- ging cow ponies: He came raging and | rearing, already dripping with sweat 0 that the sun glittered and slsim- mered and washed in waves of blind- ing light along his sides. He had done a day's work in the passage from the stable behind the hotel to the field of | action, and yet it was plain to see that his mettle had simply been arous- ed by what he had already done. "He's ready to go!" cried a chorus of the spectators. And there was a little shivering cry of admiration and fear from the women, old and young, forg there was enough fiend in the huge animal to thrill them with won- dr and with terror at the same time. It was said that after Lee Haines died, the stallion had been suddenly | changed, so that from perfect docil- ity he passed at a step into the most demoniacal temper. It was commonly believed that there was an unearthly connection be- tween the mind of the horse and the mind of the dead master so that the moment the latter passed away the re- bellious soul of the stallion arose im a struggle for freedom. * And the horse gained the more sig- nificance when the town came to know more about the identity of this Lee Haines. They had found him dead in WRIGLEY'S | picture, terrible and guess. element of the mystery. "But that was not all. When they examined his effects, it was found that he carried a wallet, on the inside of which were the half ob 1H initials of a farmer who had been ore | of his victims In a celebrated train robbery three years before, who had new train of thought. The authorities sent out a flood of telegrams and very scon they began to learn startling things--that this man was no other than the same Lee Haines who had, seventeen or eighteen years before, ridden in the outlaw gang of Jim Silent; and they gather-| ed additional information to the effect {that he was one of a famous band to which, for a number of years, had operating up and down the mountains. * J People concluded Harry Gloster must have been an ally or even a member of Haines' gang. That was why Haines had thrown himself away TR He 'became a child clinging to the strap. TT ARTA tr in tha effort to rescue the younger man. What other explanation could there have been? So that, in the days following the death of Haines, his name began to acquire greater and greater signifi- cance. And some of the eignificance of Haines himzelf was passed on to his very horse. When the Captain came plunging into the corral, looking so mighty and so swift and terrible that the strong ropes" which held him appeared no more than intangible spider threads, another picture darted into the minds of those who beheld the sight. They saw Lee Haines, outlaw and gunman, raging through a battle. Only to Joan it suggested some- thing else. She had come among the last. She did not actually advance to the fence until the Captain entered the lists and every eye was so fasten- ed upon him that she ran small risk of being closely observed. But then, having found her place behind the bars, she looked through and saw a thing which was more terrible and wonderful to her than had been even the spectacle of Lee Haines and Harry Gloster breaking out of the crowd and smashing their way through the night to freedom. She did not think of the Captain @s a mere horse when he first entered. Peter was her idea of a horse, gentle, sweet tempered, faithful. She could role him with a whisper. The least ressure of her knee would swerve him. But, after all, Peter was a born |.

But eventually Sam Bicks was thrown up into the saddle, the hood twas jerked from the eyes of the Cap- i tain, and he was gone! \ Not uncontrolled by others, how- ever. Three ropes were still fastened him. Sam Ricks had appared a famous man when he first settled onto the leather. - But he began to shrink and shrink as the black horse struggled. | He became a little child clinging to the straps. His hat had blown off. | His long hair was lifted and shaken by the wind. And even across the corral, Joan saw the terror in his face. y It could not last long. The Captain was not a horse. He was ten black panthers compacted in one. And bounding like a rubber ball, twisting like a flashing snake of light, he shook one of Sam's feet out of a stirrup. In vain the cow-puncher sand his spur in the thick cinch.} Another buck, a yell from Sam, and he was snapped out of his seat as a child squeezes out a matermelon seed between thumb and forefinger. He landed far off in the dirt. And at him went the Captain with a rush, his mouth gaping, his mane flying above his flattened ears. Then the ropes drew taut, the great horse was stopped, staggered, And, of an instant, he ceased fighting and let men drag away the senseless form of Sam Ricks.

Therefore, when Mr. Clark com: ++ fiies he took his two sons into the fleld with him, He attributes hjs success largely to thelr assistance. It 1s the fragrance of the garden that butterflies emit, though not necessarily that of the particular flow: ers 'on which, the different insects feed. Various specimens have been found to smell like sweet grass, jas- mine, syringa, mignonette, orange blossoms, sweetbriar, balsam or ver- bena. A Cuban relative of the blue swallowtail, which has been found In| Florida, 1s sald to smell strongly of fragrant orchids. Sometimes the aroma {8 spicy. Butterfly scents have also been compared to clover, burnt. sugar, chocolate, molasses, vanilla and a certain popular brand of honey bis- cuit. / % Testing butterflies for odors is gen- erally a pleasant task, but not always 80. A butterfly which smells disagree- ably is generally a female, and the fritillaries are the prime offenders. If these insects are gently ggueezed on the abdomen, patches of soft orange colored tissue will appear between the last two segments on the upper side, followed by a pair of hornlike protub- erances which give off the smell. These odors are said to be protective in function, repelling the species' ene- mies. Butterfly fragrance, on the other hand, a male attribute generally, serves as an attraction in the process of woolng, the male endeavoring to envelope the female with his perfume. Upon examination the male butter; fly is found to be equipped with patches of hairs or scales scattered on the upper surface or distributed along the veins of the wings, from which the flower-like odors are emit- ted. Occasionally the hairs are found on the abdomen or upon the hindmost legs, and the mildweed butterfly has scent scales jn the 1i0N hind wings. 1 These haiv= % tensible b tube whie. the tuft of the tube wa. pushed out § She: You say Jack's serving ten days for arson?

Men's Suits Jccasionally one meets a tallor who will give one an insight into a few of the secrets of his trade. One such re- cently retired from his successful tailoring business in London. - After many years of observation, he offers to men advice in regard to prolonging the use of their clothing that quite upsets some generally accepted ideas along this line. * Bverybody knows, for instance, that | men's suits have considerable wool in their composition; formerly, suitings for men's wear were composed entire: ly of woolen threads. It is these live- ly fibers that make the air cells in the fabric which insulate the wearer from the cold alr around him, and that so successfully shed dampness and water from the cloth. Most. people know, too, that for the successful pressing of men's suits, considerable water must be used on the Dressing cloth, But in spite of the genera ledge that animal fibers "AN an ool are at their best the idea has steadily w "Rept dry.
