I '!' -V ' "i"--T " - A STORY OF TWO CHILDREN AND AN INDIAN. C .-.?... .f ".J.--. l.-"-.J.-"-.J." Not every Apache can get his 11 of blood btfore sun up and bis fill of mescal before noon. Yet Coyote That Bites had managed to achieve both those delightful ends, and of all the happy savages ou the Colorado desert he was the most riotously, tumultuously happy. With what keen delight he had drawn his sharp blade across the throats of Jose Sanchez and his wife after he had stolen into their wagon In the gray dawn, aud what thrills of joy shot through his breast when he silenced the yells of their two little children with the butt end of their father's own rifle! And then, when he had taken what gold was In the Mexican's bag. what mescal was in his demijohn, and had strapped Jose's rather loose fitting cartridge belt about his sun brown belly, with rbat fierce pleasure he stole away from the scene of his bloody work and with the Mexican's rifle ou his shoulder had wandered far down the dry arroyo. pipping from the demijohn the stuiefying juice of the agave from time to time uutil he felt that he was growing drowsy! Then he had dragged his uncertain way along until he had come to the railroad track. lie stared stupidly at the bright steel rails and looked up at the bumming wires in an awed sort of way. He would like to lie there behind the rocks, he thought, until some one should couie along the track and then try a shot at him with his newly acquired weapon. The demijohn was growing light, and the rifle was growing heavy. Well, it was getting toward noon aud rather warm even for an Apache, and he would lie down la the shade of the rocks over there and rest. The humming of the wires is a soothing sound, and no sooner had his head touched the earth than sleep took a mighty hold upon him and wiped out his realizing sense of joy. as sleep has a way of doing with everybody that has anything to be joyful for. And so he lay. with the rifle by his side and his unspeakably hideous face turned up toward the blue that arched the desert. It was quiet there and restful no sound save the music of the wires. Stay; there were other sounds, but they came some time after Coyote That Bites had thrown himself upon the sand and gone off to the land of Nod. They came faintly at first and mingled with the murmurlngs of the wires. Surely they were the voices of children. Had the red beast been awake he might have imagined that they were the haunting voices of the wee Mexican children whose blood he had so ruthlessly shed that morning, but he heard them not. They were very far from being ghostly voices anyway, those tones that now piped forth so merrily as Dubs and Gay trudged down the line. They were walking to the scoop out along the roadbed, not on the track, for that was forbidden. There were other things that were forbidden, too, and one of them was straying so far away from the station, but Dubs was "taking good care" of his three-year-old s!ster. and in the pride of his six full years he was equal to the care of half a dozen such as Gay. 'F on'y had sum matches to build a fire wiv," sighed Dubs. "I'd burn off vese prickles jus' like ve Injuns does." "O-ohT came suddenly from under Gay's sunbonnet. "Wot s dat?" "Wy. it's a jug!" And Dubs left the "toouies" and started toward the pile of rocks where lay the Coyote's demijohn and where also lay the Coyote himself. The two trudged np the little slope, and Dubs grasped the handle cf the demijohn, ouly to let it drop again and spring back quickly with Gay in his arms, for he had caught sight of the Coyote, and he was smitten with a sudden desire to go home. But he saw the Indian did not move, and so he suddenly became very brave. He was certainly sound asleep and no more to be feared than papa when he lay on the lounge In his midday repose. Then, too. Dubs was quite sure he was a workj- Injun, like the Yaquis, who shoveled and picked on the railroad, and so his mind became wholly at ease. The Coyote's cartridge belt, which had been so loosely strapped, had fallen off and lay by his side. There were a hundred very interesting bits of brass sticking In It, and the children soon had these scattered all about In the sand by the snoring Coyote. In the scramble for her share of the Innocent toys Gay let one of them drop on the

Coyote's leg. Perhaps the mescal's Influence was on the wane, for a big brown knee was thrust quickly up from the sand and a big brown hand clutched the ugly knife at the Coyote's side, but the hand fell and the noble red man snored ou. Dubs tried on the cartridge belt and became an Indian, all but the indispensable knife, and he concluded to borrow that from the sleeper, whose fingers had lost their grip on the buckhorn handle. "It's b:ggern mommie's butcher knife, ain't it. Gay? the young savage asked as he grasped the handle of the devilish looking blade. "Now. you 'taud over vere, and I'll get "hind vis woek. Yen you turn along, I'll jump out and kill you." Gay demurred. "Oh. It's on'y make b'leve. Yese kind o Iajuns don't kill nobody." And he stuck a contemptuous finger toward the innocent Csyote. "It's on'y 'Paches "at kills, an' vey's none yound here, mommie says. I'm a Tache, so you better lock out." It was a dubious sport for Gay, and when It came to the killing part she screamed lustily. "You've woked him up an' 'poiled It all," said Dubs In a tone of accusation. "Now he'll want his knife." Sure enough, the Coyote That Bites did shake his brown legs and arms quite vigorously, but the last two big swallows of mescal held him down. So, after turning over and burying his hatchetlike face In the sand, he lay quiet again. When he had thus turned over, was brought Into view the rifle, which had bten concealed by his dirty blanket. Dubs eyed the weapon with covetous eyes. He could not withstand the temptation of feeling it all over, standing It up on Its butt and trying to shoulder It. but this last feat he could hardly cccomplish. Just what It was that kept his fingers off the hammer and trigger and prevented a sound that would surely have brought the Coyote to his feet with a yell. I am sure I cannot tell, but Dubs played with that fascinating weapon nearly au hour, Thile Gay poured sand over the cartridges, hiding nearly all of them from view. By this time the sun's rays were on the long slant, and tile children were very hungry. By this time. too. the Apache was growing restless, for the mescal had nearly lost Its grip upon him. A train thunderlug by. or. much less, a "swift" brushing against his black foot, a spider dropping on his leg. or even a big fly buzzing at his ear any of these would have set his demon force into play again. But the children could not wait for 6uch demonstrations as these, though why it did not occur to Dubs that the Coyote's ear needed tickling with a grease wood twig the Lord only knows. The wind was up, and the wires were murmuring louder than ever. The wee ones had sported in the black shadows long enough had played with the fangs of the deadly serpent until they were tired and their stomachs were empty. So they set off on a trot for home. Just as they turhed the bend and came in sight of the low roof of the station a "dust devil" swept by the rocks where lay the Coyote That Bites. He jumped to his feet, grasped his empty sheath, gave a mad whoop and started about in feverish rage. There was his knife, half coverwd by the sand, and there was his rifle, far from his side. Here was the cartridge belt empty, and all about him in the sand were countless little footprints. A bewildered look stole over his face, but it passed away when his eyes rested on the empty demljofin. The expression that replaced it was one of demoniacal ferocity, and the lust of slaughter lay heavily upon him. But the cartridges where were they? He saw Gay's mound of sand and, kicking it, gave a grunt of delight to see the brazen capsules that were scattered right and left by his foot. He picked them all up, grunting over each one. Filling the belt and grasping his rifle, he started off In the direction In which the small footprints led. Like a bloodhound, he chased aloflg tbe track. His eyes scanned the plain at every turn, and his breath was hot and strong. But when he turned the big curve and saw the station he knew that he was late too late and he gave a grunt of disgust and was off like the wind over a side trail that led toward the sunset. In the low roofed station house the mother crooned to tired little Gay, lying so soft and limp in her arms. She looked out over the desert, saw the sun touching the tips of the solemn giant cacti with purple dots, saw the prickly pear shrubs holding their grotesque arms above the great sweep of sand that ran down to the low horizon and felt the Inspiration of the scene, as she had often felt It before, for the desert has a beauty that is all Its own. She knew that other women' in the great cities and In the cool, ereen valleys might pity her in that desolate ppot, but she felt that she needed not their pity. Dubs came and leaned his head against her arm where she sat, and little Gay nestled down with a tired sigh. Yes, there was much, she thought, for which to be thankfuL And in truth there was.

Mas and Womaa. The human animal finds In the opposite sex the greater part of his and her mental life. The arts rose out of sex. When man ceased to capture woman, he cut a reed and blew a tune to win her, and it was not until he had won her that he began to take an Interest In the tune for Its own sake. Physical Intimacies are but surface emotions, forgotten as soon as they are satisfied, whereas spiritual Intimacies live in the heart. They are part of our eternal life and seem to reach beyond the stars. George Moore's "Sister Teresa."

Facts About Mrs. Roosevelt and Her Little Ones. GIVES THIM PEESDXAL ATTESTION First Wonii of tke Laisid Old Xol ; Hesitate- to SernU ecU.s f Tns I i Who Did Not Salt "tot A ho t e DaraIns 5tocUlB of the Y oanaratera. ; Children Foil of IliKh Spirits. Already Mrs. Roosevelt is an object! of the most earnest attention, writes ! the Washington correspondent of the j New York Press. It is agreed she has self poise and a gracious adaptation to j her surroundings, and she is meeting the demands of her exalted station j with a geutle suavity and the peculiar-! ly graceful consideration afforded by a j Woman of tact and breeding. j An intimate friend says Mrs. Koose-j elt would delight the good old Dutch j nousewives of New Amsterdam. Homely tasks and maternal duties I which would revolt the modern society woman are as natural to her as the quiet manner of greeting a guest or disposing of a duty. She is said to look after the wardrobes of the members of her family, finds time to superintend the education of her children and withal never omits a social obligation, although she does not seek pre-eminence as a society woman. It is said she Is not above darning the stockings of the youngsters, and, with a healthy and boisterous family of little ones such as hers, this would be no Infrequent task. The Roosevelt children are full of life and high spirits. No prank is Uo daring and no youthful game or exercise beneath their dignity. Their mother Is with them as much as possible, and therefore she Is often called upon to repair damages to clothing or else to Incur abnormal bills for their youthful apparel. The same friend says that to speak of Mrs. Roosevelt Is to tell about ber children. There are five of them Theodore junior, fourteen, a sturdy lad, as much like his father as a little elephant resembles a big one. lie has the same manners, a like taste for outdoor exercises and sports and looks the world in the face from an equally healthy and florid countenance. He wears glasses, like his father, and he sails In the same ready, frank way. Theodore Junior accompanied his mother to Washington on the present journey. The other children were left under the care of their uncle, James Roosevelt, in Oyster Bay. When Mrs. Roosevelt and her family came to Washington last March to attend the Inaugural ceremonies, there was not room In the Cowles home to accommodate Yice President Roosevelt, his wife, five children and their nurses. Consequently friends took some of the youngsters as guests. On the morning of March 4, when all were marshaled to attend the official proceedings at the capitol, a mishap delayed the arrival of two of the children. The carriages were held at the Cowles residence for several minutes awaiting their appearance. Upon their arrival Mrs. Roosevelt took the precaution to look them over and was not satisfied with the work of their temporary nurses. She made a sign to their regular nurse, who shortly appeared with a well soaped towel. Mrs. Roosevelt herself took this and, already having opened their collars, gave each a good scrubbing aud adjusted their neckwear again in a very few minutes. Observers say the little fellows did not appreciate this programme more kindly than children are wont, and they sputtered and made faces at the ordeal, but stood up to It like little men and did not betray the slightest inclination to cry or resist. Their behavior was old fashioned In Its docility to maternal discipline. When her rapid labors were completed, Mrs. Roosevelt quietly gave her orders for tbe disposition of the family and resumed her position as the guest of honor in the party as calmly as if babies and hoiden boys were no part of her cares in this world. i This little Incident Is characteristic ! cf Mrs. Roosevelt. When necessary, she brings the youthful statesman to order without fuss or bother and does not rufHe herself or her guests. The Roosevelt children were vivacious and far from being curled darlings or little Lord Fauntleroys. Only one nurse and a governess are provided for them. Their mother, however. Is a host In herself as a maternal manager, and her commands are never disputed. It Is said that before meeting Mr. Roosevelt this home loving woman was I rather Inclined to shuu courtly atten- t tions, but her conduct and example as j a wife and mother are the admiration ! of her friends. j Dry-In Wood br Eleetrlelty. Consul Mah'n of Reichenberg sends the following description of a new method of quickly preparing wood for building and manufacturing purposes, taken from a local technical Journal: The green wood is placed in a large wooden trough whose bottom is covered with a lead plate, which is connected with the positive pole of an electric battery. Covering the wood is a second lead plate, which forms the negative pole. The wood Is then subjected to a bath in a solution competed of 10 per cent rosin and 75 per cent soda. Under the influence of the electric current the sap is drawn out of the wood and rise to the surface, the solution being absorbed by the wood. The operation requires from five to eizbt hours. The wood Is then allowed to dry for about two weeks, when it is ready for use, or tbe drying can be done artificially in a much shorter time.
