THE COLORADO APACHE. Am nn Accurate Man Tracker He lias No Equal. As a trailer the Colorado Apache has no equal. He possesses the acute instinct of the bound combined with an accurate sense of vision. A turned leaf, a fleck of gravel cast aside, the displacement of a pebble from its bedall are clear, readable pages. They ask few if any particulars of the man they are to follow. They will, as they progress on bis track, gather ; up for themselves one by one little ■ items as to his personality, which are ! nearly always verified in the end. When following a trail over the iron j capped rocks and stony urroyas of Ari- I zona, bis face is a picture of intense concentration. Not a syllable escapes | him. His pace varies from no visible cause. At times lie almost runs; then, with a rapid glance behind, he glides along slowly and with eyes glued to the ground possibly for hours. Here and there may be a few stretches of sand, but dry sand leaves after the footstep only an indentation, closing after the pressure, so that to the inexperienced eye it might have been a horse or a mule that made it and not a I man.— ‘‘Man Trailing With Human Bloodhounds” in Outing. Trick Candies. “The trick cigar has its counterpart in confectionery,” said a candy manufacturer the other day. “The callow youth who delights in giving explosive cigars to Ids men friends demands something simila* for the candy consuming sex, and we have to meet the demand. “The possibilities of a cream chocolate or a piece of nougat are limited, but we have a few contrivances. We make of a very hard candy an imitation of a tooth with a gold crown and hide it in a cream chocolate. You can imagine the rest—a party of women I munching candy, one of them discoverj ing something hard and finding a gold crowned tooth loose in her mouth! “Similarly we imitate a bone collar button in a hard white candy, hide a candy shoe button in a piece of nougat, ! put a bit of cork in a caramel or till a candied cherry with ted pepper. So i I long as the sanity experts don’t weed : out these alleged jokers the candy man has to put up these trick candies for ' them.”—New York Times. — Honey. According to a writer in Health, hon ey is a valuable medicine and has many uses. It is excellent in most lung and throat affections and is often ' used with great benefit in place of cod | liver oil. Occasionally there is a per- I son with whom it does not agree, but I most people can learn to use it with I beneficial results. Children who have I natural appetites generally prefer it to 1 butter. Honey is a laxative and sedn- ! tive, and in diseases of the bladder anil ! kidneys it is an excellent remedy. It has much the same effect as wine : or stimulants, without their injurious effects, and is unequaled in mend and harvest drinks. As an external application it is irritating when clear, but ; soothing when diluted. In many places I it is much appreciated as a remedy for 1 croup and colds. In preserving fruii I j the formic acid it contains makes a better preservative than sugar sirup, and it is also used in cooking and confections. Honey does not injure the | teeth as candies do. Ancient Huies For ('.rvliifi. Our ancestors fully recognized the 1 value of good carving, and many were : the rules by whicli a earver was expected to be governed. The ancient 1 “Boke of Kervyng,” among other things, admonishes him to touch venison only witli his knife and to "set never on j fyehe, fiescli. beeste ner fowle more than two fyngers and a thumbe.” Fin gers i t. was naturally obliged to use since forks were a luxury of later date and were not in private use until .James : I.’s reign. Piers Gaveston. the favor : ite of Edward IL, had three silver I forks for eating pears, but this was regarded. no doubt, as a great and special luxury. Cuckoo CuMtom. In England. There are or were not long ago in different parts of England remnants of old customs marking the position which tlie cuckoo held in tile middle ag<*s. in Shropshire till very recently when the first cuckoo was heard, the laborers were in the habit of leaving their work, making holiday of the rest of tlie day and carousing in what they called euckoo ale.

McClure Comginy ‘f +o+c+o+o+o-s>o+<.o+o+o<«o->o4o * Hatriugtou had gone up spasmodically from small parts to leads. While he was playing in stock on the way up be 1 had written a play, (jf course the play was never produced. And alrout that time Harrington began to come down. His coming down had not been spasmodic. it had been certain and sure as late. He seemed, however, able to hold a position as stage door keeper. He could be scared into coining around on time for successive weeks by lhe threat that he would be assigned to the billposter’s forces. And he was only thirty-five. Some I times when lie became very bad he ' would mumble something about “Eleanor.” But mumblings about “Eleanor” didn't excuse his condition to Buscoe, who believed that there was no reason on earth good enough to keep a man away from the theater later than 7:3U and no trouble great enough to need an extended stay al<rf;g a bar rail to drown , it. So Harrington, witli all his bril- ! Haney, all his artistic training and his wonderful mind that could absorb thir- : ty sides in a night, got finally to be a back door keeper. It was only because he never attempted to excuse his con 1 duet that Buscoe kept him at all. He was merely penitent utter one of his periodical attacks. And Harrington was the back door keeper when the company moved into New York for a run. He stood, book in hand, checking the company as it ar I riv<Hl for a rehearsal a day before Hie 1 opening. Harrington got the note, witli a doctor's certificate inclosed, tilling that Temple, tlie leading man, had brain fever. He turned pale as lie read it. He was that kind of a back door keeper. Buscoe didn't turn pale, l>ut every one who heard what lie said a minute ; later did. ' Send a boy to tlie manager.” lie ordered. “Tell him Temple can't possibly go on tomorrow night. Tell him that unless he wants me to use a bad understudy we’ll have to postpone tlie open ing.” Harrington came over to him. “I haven’t sent the boy yet.” lie sail “You know I can get up in flint part by tomorrow night. Maybe they wouldn’t know Temple wasn't play ing it. if you’ll let me”— He looked wistfully at Ituscoe. “You could, you know.” said Bus coe kindly, ’but It’s too important. ’l'hey've been banking on this New York opening. A set of good notices will carry them tlie rest of the season, and I'd rather postpone titan take any ehnnees.” Harrington went mcelinnicnlly back to the door Buscoe held Hie company until he heard from headquarters. “Use the understudy,” said the note “Han’t possiblx postpone.” Buscoe walked over to the call board. “Company culled for all day reliearsal nt 8 o’clock tomorrow," lie wrote. "Now, Harrington," he said kindly, “you take this part to my hotel and begin on it. If you’re letter perfect by tomorrow morning, you go on tn Temple's place. At 4 o'clock this after , noon i'll come over. We ll work on it all night.” «•*•«•« The hotel people wondered next morning what had been going on in "42" during lhe night. Two men had left at 7:30 in lite morning with a bar bill of $2 for black coffee. It had gone up regularly every thirty minutes since 4 o’clock. Around on the walls wore pinned strips of paper with meaningless sentences written upon them. They took them down and rend them curiously. They seemed to be passages chosen broadcast from a book. They would have understood If they had known that the uroccss of cram

ruing thirty sides of typewritten manuscript into the brain of a man means that tlie brain must be stimulated v, ith something and that strong coffee is the only harmless thing that will do it. They didn't know that a man's brain sometimes refuses to memorize past a certain amount, but that It will receive impressions of things seen. That was why some of the speeches Harrington couldn't get, although they were repeated to him endlessly.- were written on strips of paper, pinned on tlie , walls and stared at him through the night until they sank into his mind. Buscoe bad been cruelly insistent, but his methods had won out. Harrington. haggard and brain weary, went through tlie 8 o’clock rehearsal with but few hitches. Then Bust >e ran them through again and dismissed 1 them at 12:30 with orders to report at 4 for a dress rehearsal. He dragged Harrington back to the hotel and again sent him over the part, this time with ' the business included. He went on that night almost crazed. Forty-eight hours without sleep and ■ not much nourishment but black cosfee did it. but ia his brain were the thirty sides. He played toe three acts without a 1 break, and he played them as Harrington could when he wanted to. But 1 his big scene didn’t come until tlie fourth. It was strongly written and 1 intensely emotional. It depicted a final parting from the woman lie loved, in a set lighted by blue borders, witli tlie : foots low. The exit of the leading woman was the cue for the first speech. Buscoe. .'ill attention, stood in tlie side entrance a , Harrington began. He was playing it low. but fie-< ely. acting it beautifully. He had the audience breathless. Suddenly Buscoe felt for > the curtain signal. “Heavens!” lie said under his breath, : “He's way off tlie text.” Out in tlie w< ird light of lite blue borders Harrington raved on. Not a line he spoke bad even been in tlie manuscript, but he talked of a parting from a woman. He was horribly earnest, and instead of cursing the woman he cursed himself. Buscoe jammed the signal. The big drop be gan to slide, .lust then Harrington reeled across tlie stage ami fell in a queer heap, 'li.t drop came down witli a tiiud within a foot of his face. Then from out in front came ixjar n roar of applause. “Thej didn’t know I. - was oil. thouglit Buscoe. “Harrington,’’ h<- almost yelled, “got ' up! I'm going to give you a call alone!” But Harrington was past curtain calls. They earri-d hint to a dressing room and tucked him comfortably on a | couch. He was asleep when Hie woman asked i for him. She was too well dressed to ! be asking for a man like Harrington, Buscoe thou.’lit. Still, lit: asked himself, bon did she know that Harrington was on the bill? The programme I said "Temple." “Nobody ln :< by that name," be told her. “I know he is." she said quietly. “I was in tlie audience. I am Miss Burton. 1 have known Mr. Harrington u very long time.” “Are you Eleanor?’ ” asked Buscoe ' quickly. "Yt s,” she said softly. When he awal.imd. >be « nesrw' him. So was Hii~< <m . But Buscoe left at once He only knew that when Ha. rington awakened and saw iter beside him lie seemed to take everything for ! granted. She came out a little later and asked that some breakfast be sent In to him. “He will be able to act tonight, he says,” she told Bimeoc. “He’ll tell v«u about us when you go In" "1 gather," said Busco •. hying to tx diplomatic, "that you are what alletl him." "But I didn't know it,” she replied, ■'until inst night.” Great Labor Rarer. Customer The i U < ( "Ji in that knife you sold me lx ax su Ln putty, it got dull the first time R hit.
