five years and when her mother died
I took care of the child. It was all

not sleep nights. I used Cutlcura
Soap to wash her with and then ap-

Fog-Eye's Plaintive Protest.
Fog-Eye Smith of northweBt Wy-

style of beauty was a blight. Depend

in the habit of trying to awe newcom-

displeasure at the manner In which a
pallid stranger watered his liquor, Mr
Smith announced, frowning, that un

Understanding and Misunderstanding.
One on the Judge.
A aewly qualified Judge in one of
the small towns of Tennessee was
trying one of his first criminal cases.
The accused was an old darky who
was accused of robbing a hen-coop.
He had been in court before on a sim-
ilar charge and was then acquitted.
"Well. Tom," began the Judge, "1
Bee you're In trouble again."
"Yes, sail," replied the darky; "the
last time, Jedge, you was ma lawyer."
"Where Is your lawyer this time?"
asked the judge.
"1 ain't got no lawyer this time,"
answered Tom. "I'm going to tell the
truth."

HARD TO DROP
But Many Drop It.
A young Calif, wife talks about coffee:
"It was hard to drop Mocha and
Java and give Postum a trial, but my
nerves were so shattered that I was
a nervous wreck and of course that
means all kinds of ails.
"At first I thought bicycle riding
caused it and I gave it up, but my con
•lltion remained unchanged. I did not
want to acknowledge coffee caused the
trouble for I was very fond of it At
that lime a friend came to live with
us, and I noticed that after he had
been with us a week ho would not
drink his coffee any more. I asked him
the reason. He replied, 'I have not had
a headache since I left off drinking cof-
fee, some months ago, till last week,
when I began again, here at your table.
I don't see how anyone can like coffee,
anyway, after drinking Postum!'
"I said nothing, but at once ordered
a package of Postum. That was five
months ago, and we have drank no
coffee since, except on two occasions
when we had company, and the resull
each time was that my husband could
not sleep, but lay awake and tossed
N the morning she touad
Blake scraping energetical-
ly at the inner surfaces of
a pair of raw hyena skins.
"So you've killed more game!" she
exclaimed.
"Game? No; hyenas. I hated to
waste good poison on the brutes; but
nothing else showed up, and I need a
new pair of pa—er—trousers.
"Was it not dangerous—great beasts
like these?"
"Not even enough to make It inter-
esting. I'd have had some fun,
though, with that, confounded lion
when the moon came up if ho hadn't
sneaked off into the grass.
"A lion?"
"Yes. Didn't you hear him? The
skulking brute prowled around for
hours before the moon rose, when it
was pitch dark. It was mighty lone-
some, with him yowling down by the
pool. Half a chance and I'd given him
something to yowl about. Itut It
wasn't any use firing off my arrows in
the dark, and, as I said, he sneaked
off before—"
"Tom—Mr. Blake!—you must not
risk your life!"
"Don't you worry about me. I ve
learned how to look out for Tom
Blake. And you can just bank on it
I'm going to look out for Miss Jenny
Leslie, too! But say, after breakfast,
suppose we take a run out on the cliff
for eggs?"
"I do not wish any to-day, thank
you."
He waited a little, studying her
down-bent face.
"Well," he muttered; "yotl don't
have to come. 1 know I oughtn t lo
take a moment's time. I did quite a
bit last night; but if you think—"
She glanced up, puzzled. His mean-
ing flashed upon her, and she rose.
"Oh, not that! I will come," she
answered, and hastened to prepare
the morning meal.
When they came to the tree-ladder
she found that the heap of stones
built up by Blake to facilitate the first
part of the ascent was now so high
that she could climb into the branches
without difficulty. She surmised that
Blake had found It necessary to build
up the pile before he could ascend
with his burden.
They were at the foot of the heap,
when, with a sharp exclamation, Blake
sprang up into the branches and
scrambled to the top In hot haste.
Wondering what this might mean.
Miss Leslie followed as fast as she
could. When she reached the top she
saw him running across towards an
out-Jutting point on the norl',1 edge of
the cliff.
She had hurried after him for more
than half the distance before she per-
ceived the vultures that were gath-
ered In a solemn circle about a long
and narrow heap of stones on a ledge
down on the sloping brink of the cliff.
While at the foot of the tree Blake
had seen one of the grewsome flock

shrank down, shuddering. Blake came

up the rieces or loose rock which
were strewn about beneath the
ledges on that part of the cliff.

"Then you are sure those awful
birds have not—"
"Yes, I'm sure."
He carried an armful of rocks to
lay on the mound. When he began
to gather more she followed his ex-
ample. They worked in silence, piling
the rough stones gently one upon an-
other, until the cairn had grown to
twice its former size. The air on the
open cliff top was fresher than in the
cleft, and Miss Leslie gave little heed
to the absence of shade. She would
have worked on under the burning sun
without thought of consequences.
But Blake knew the need of modera-
tion.
"There; that'll do," he said. "He
may have been—all he was; but we've
no more than done our duty. Now,
we'll stroll out on the point."
"I should prefer to return."
"No doubt. But it's time you
learned how to go nesting. Wljat if
you should be left alone here? Be-
sides, it looks to me like the signal is
tearing loose."
She accompanied him out. along the
cliff crest until they stood in tho midst
of the bird colony, half deafened by
their harsh clamor. She had never
ventured into their concourse when
alone. Even now she cried out, and
would have retreated before the charp
bills and beating wings had not Blake
walked ahead and kicked the squawk-
ing birds out of the path. Having
made certain that tho big white flag
was still secure on its staff he led the
way along the seaward brink of the
cliff, pointing out the different kinds
of seafowl and shouting information
about such of their habits and quali-
ties as were of concern to hungry cast-
aways.
He concluded the lesson by descend-
ing a dizzy flight of ledges to rob the
nest of a frigate bird. It was a fool-
hardy feat at best, and doubly so in
view of the thousands of eggs lying
all around in the hollows of the cliff
top. But from these Blake had re-
cently culled out all the fresh settings
of the frigate birds and none of the
other eggs equaled them in delicacy
of flavor.
"How's that?" he demanded, as lie
drew himself up over the edge of the
cliff and handed the big chalky-white
egg into her keeping.
"I would rather go without than
see you take such risks," she replied,
coldly.
"You would, eh?" he cried, quite
misunderstanding her, and angered by
what seemed to him a gratuitous re-
buff. "Well, I'd rather you'd say
nothing than speak in that tone. If
you don't want the egg heave it over
Unable to conceive any cause for
his sudden anger, she was alarmed
and drew back, watching him with
sidelong glances.
"What's the matter?" he demanded.
"Think I'm going to bite you?"
She shrank farther away, and did
not answer.
At her call to the noon meal Blake
morose and taciturn. She met him
with a smile and exerted all her wom-
anly tact to conciliate him.
"You must help me eat the egg,"
she said. "I've boiled It hard."
"Rather eat beef," he mumbled.
"But just to please me—when I've
cooked it your way?"
He uttered an inarticulate sound
which she chose to interpret as as-
sent. The egg was already shelled.
She cut it exactly in half and served
one of the pieces to him with a bit of
warm fat and a pinch of salt. As he
took the dish he raised his sullen
eyes to her face. She met his gaze
with a look of smiling insistence.
"Come now," she said; "please don t
refuse. I'm sorry I was so rude."
"Well, if you feel that way about
it!—not that I care for fancy dishes,"
he resnonded, gruffly.
"It would be missing half the en-
and onions in the same dish.'
"I'm sure, Mr. Blake—"
"Beats a burlesque all hollow—Mrs.
Sint-Regis-Waldoff's chop-sooey tea
and young Mrs. Vandam-Jones' auto-
cotillon—with us sitting here like
troglodytes, chewing snake-poisoned
antelope, and you in that Kundiy
dress—"
"Do you—I was not aware that you
knew about music."
"Don't know a note. But give me
a chance to hear good music and I'm
there if I have to stand in the peanut-
gallery."
"Oh, I'm so glad! I'm very, very
fond of music! Have you been to
Bayreuth?"
"Where's that?"
"In Germany. It is where his
operas are given as staged by Wagner
himself. It is indescribably grand
and inspiring—above all, the Par-
sifal!"
"I'll most certainly take that in,
even if I have to cut short my en-
gagement in this gee-lorious clime—
not but what, when it comes to leopard
ladies—" He paused and surveyed her
with frank admiration.
The blood leaped into her face.
"Oh!" she gasped, "I never dreamed

that even such a man as you
would
compare me with—with a creature
like that!"
"Such a man as me!" repeated
Blake, staring. "What do you mean?
I know I'm not much of a ladies' man;
but to be yanked up like this when a
fellow is trying to pay a compliment
 well, it's not just what you'd call
pleasant."
"I beg your pardon, Mr. Blake. I
misunderstood. I—"
"That's all right, Miss Jenny! I
don't ask any lady to beg my pardon.
The only thing is I don't see why you
should flare out at me that way."
For a full minute she sat, with
down-bent head, her face clouded with
doubt and indecision. At last she ;
bravely raised her eyes to meet his. |

myself?" she asked. "You should re-

of his leaf hat. When he ::pake, seem-

icately worded assurance. But was
Tom Blake, for all his b!uit kindli-
ness, capable of such tact? She
cliose to consider that lie was.
"It's a ctf.ininK' little haasalor. But
will not the rain flood you out?"
"It's going to have a raised floor.
You're more like to have the rain
drive in on you again. I'll have to rig
up a porch over your door. It won't
do to stuff up the hole. You ve little
enough air as it is. But that can
wait a while. There's other work
more pressing. First, there's the bar-
ricade. By the time that's done those
hyena skins will be cured enough to
use. I've got to havo new trousers
soon, and new shoes, too."
"I can do the sewing, if you will cut
out tho patterns."
"No; I'll take a stagger at it my
self first. I'd rather you'd go egging.
Yon need to run around more, to keep
in trim."
"I feel quite well now, and I am
growing so strong! The only thing
is this constant heat."
"We'll have to grin nnd bear it.
After all, it's not so bad, if only we
can stave off the fever. Another rea
son I want you to go for eggs is that
you can take your time about it, and
keep a look-out for steamers."
"Then you think—?"
' Don't screw up your hopes too
high. We've little show of being
picked up by a chance boat on a coast
with reefs like this. But I figure that
if I was in your daddy's shoes it'd be
joyment to eat such a delicacy with-
out some one to share it," she said.
Blake looked away without answer
But she could see that his face was
beginning to clear. Greatly encour-
aged, she chatted away as though they
were seated at her father's dinner
table and he was an elderly friend
from the business world whom it was
her duty to entertain.
For a while Blake betrayed little in-
terest, confining himself to monosyl-
lables except when he commented on
the care with which she had cooked
the various dishes. When she least
expected, he looked up at her, his lips
parted in a broad smile. She stopped
short, for she had been describing hor
first social triumphs and his untimely
levity embarrassed her.
"Don't get mad. Miss Jenny," he
said, his eyes twinkling. "You don't
know how funny it seems to sit here
and listen to you talking about those
things. It's like serving up ice cream
high time for me to be cabling a ship
to run up from Natal, or down from
Zanzibar, to look around for jettison,
et cetera."
"I'm sure papa will offer a big re-
ward."
"Second the motion! I've a sort
of idea I wouldn't mind coming in for
a reward myself."
"You? Oh, yes; to be sure. Papa
Is generous, and he will be grateful
to anyone who—"
"You think I moan his dirty
money!" broke in Blake, hotly.
Her confusion told him that he had
not been mistaken. His face, only
a moment since bright and pleasant,
took on its sullenest frown.
Miss Leslie rose hurriedly and
started along the cleft.
"Hello!" he called. "Not going for
eggs now, are you?"
She did not reply.
"Hang It all, Miss Jenny! Don't go
off like that."
"May I ask you to excuse me, Mr.
Blake? Is that sufficient?"
"Sufficient? It's enough to give a
fellow a chill! Come, now; don't go I
off mad. You know I've a quick tem-
per. Can't you make allowances?" j
"You've—you've no right to look so
angry, even if I did misunderstand
you. You misunderstood me!" She
caught herself up with a half sob. His
silence gave her time to recover her
composure. She continued with ex-
cessive politeness: "Need I repeat
my request to be excused, Mr. Blake?"
"No; once is enough! But, honest,
now, I didn't mean to be nasty."
"Good-day," Mr. Blake."
"Oh, da-darn it, good-day!" he
groaned.
When, a few minutes later, she re-
turned, -he was gone. He did not
come back until some time after dark,
when she had withdrawn to her lean-
to for the night. His hands were
bleeding from thorn scratches; but
after a hasty supper ne went back
down the cleft to build up the new
wall of the barricade with the great
