What to Do When the Little One
Falls and Is Injured—Refreshing
Drink for Hot Weather.
When baby falls and bruises him-
self, provided the skin is not broken,
apply a clean cloth wrung out of wa-
ter as hot as can be borne. A little
olive oil, butter or vaseline should
then be rubbed in to prevent dis-
coloration.
If the skin is broken, however,
bathe the place carerully with warm
water, to which a little boracic acid
has been added, to remove the dirt.
Then apply some boracic ointment,
and the abrasion will very quickly
heal, says Home Chat.
Barley water makes a cooling anl
refreshing drink for the little oneh
during the hot weather.
It should be prepared like this:
Well wash two tablespoonfuls of pearl
barley and simmer gently in a pint
and a half of water for two hours.
Then strain, add a little lemon juicn
and sweeten very slightly
In hot weather it should be made
fresh every day, as it "turns" quickly.

One would think that an enterprising

Away to the north of Scotland lies
the group of islands in which the
diminutive horses commonly called
Shelties have their home. The Shet-
lands are not all inhabited, some of
the smaller islands being used merely
as pasturage for a few sheep. There
Is little to attract either the agricul-
turist or the merchant, so progress is
slow; the islanders till their land by
old-fashioned methods, and many of
them still have recourse to barter as
a means of obtaining necessaries.

"It's a most inconvenient time to

"I suppose I shall have to see him,"

"No." the maid replied, "but he Is
the same gentleman that came the
other day. I knew him by his straw
hat. It seemed sort of strange for a
gentleman to be wearing a straw hat
in winter."
"Yes, it does," Catharine said, and
went downstairs.
Catharine greeted the stranger
somewhat coolly. She had suspicions
of a book agent, although a second
glance at the man before her rather
dispelled this idea. He was shabby.
He came to the point at once. "1

Catharine looked at him haughtily.
"Why, I don't know you." Her voice

not seem disturbed.

repeated "You are the most beauti

Catharine stood up. "You have not

cliffs tower over the blue waters,
whose waves dash against their rocky

The Shelties cannot be worked until
they are three or four years old and
do not reach maturity until they are
eight or nine. Though occasionally
employed in the Shetlands to draw
carts, it is as a saddle animal that
the pony is most used. The natural
pace is soft, the foothold is sure, the
intelligence is great, and altogether
the Sheltie is thoroughly well equip-
ped for getting over moorland in
which larger horses would founder.

brief duration, and after this glean-

through the hard months of the year.
This little creature has an abiding 1
fondness for children, and it is a curl- :
ous fact that boys and girls are better |
able to control him than their elders. |
His popularity is universal, rising
from the depths of the pit to the
heights of the throne, for the late
Queen Victoria, who spent much of
her thne in the north of Scotland,
showed a marked fancy for the Shet-
land pony.
In a country place even where there
is only a small paddock no finer play-
mate than a Shetland pony can be
given to little children. We have
known one aB intelligent as a collie
dog, and as gentle. It used to enjoy
a romp with a golden-haired girl of
five as much as the girl herself did.
No doubt she had many a tumble, but
there was no great distance to fall,
and the elements of horsemanship were
being learned in the pleasantest man-
ner possible. There can be very lit-
tle comparison between the Shetland
pony as a pet, and the very best
donkey, although most of us have a
friendly eye for the latter.

But again Catharine repelled him
haughtily. "I do not know you," she
said.
His h^ad went up. "1 have no
reputation," he admitted, "and I am
poor and struggling for recognition,

you better than I shall paint you."

she said.

fc r I Gradually under his hand the plc-
| tura was taking on great beauty.
While he painted he talked to her.
He had been everywhere, seen every-
thing. She listened, and, when he left,
wished that she might listen still.
It waS when the picture was almost
finished that the artist demanded
something more of Catharine.
"Tomorrow," he said, "will be my
last day here with you—it will be uiy
last day of happiness."
She looked at him, her eyes shin-
ing, her cheeks flushed. "Why should
it be your last day of happiness?" she
asked
Because I must leave you." he told
her.
For a moment tjiey looked at each
other and the eyes of the girl told
the man something that he knew her
lips would not utter. He took a quick
step toward her, then stopped. "You
would never marry me," he saill,
"even if I dared ask you. I have
called my picture 'The Lady of tne
Frozen Heart.' It is not that you
have no heart—but you are cold."
She caught her breath quickly. The
look had died out In her eyes. "1 am
glad you know me so well," she said,
and presently she left him and went
away. He painted until dark came,
and then sat there without the light,
dreaming in the big chair near the
fireplace.
Presently some one came in softly.
It was Betty Barnes. She came over
and looked at him. "I have found
you out," she said slowly.
His eyes tried to pierce the dim-
ness, as lie laughed softly. "Oh, Betty
Barnes," he said, "who told you?"
Betty touched the button and turn-
ed on the electric light. "Let me look
at you," she said. She surveyed him
while he smiled down at her. "It was
your pointed beard and the tail that
deceived me," she told him confidenti-
ally. as she settled herself in another
big chair. "I had seen some one who
looked like you, but it wasn't until
yesterday that I traced the resem-
blance to the picture that hung over
my brother's desk at college:"
The artist nodded. "Yes, I poured
tea for you the time that you came
on to see Jack's room. 1 have been
abroad since them and have learned
to paint, and 1 fell In love with Cath-
arine at the opera. I did not know
a soul to present me to her. I did
not dream that you were here, and I
was bound that I would paint her pic-
ture. So I made up my mind to come
here in an eccentric costume, so that
she might think that I was some
dreamy artist whom she could admit
because he fancied himself a genius
and because she might help him to
fame."
Betty laughed. "And now you are
afraid to 'fess up.'" she said.
"Do you think she would ever for-
give me? She is so distant, so cold,
so hard to touch."
"That shows how much you men
know about iL" Betty said, scornfully.
"She Is dead in love with you rig£t
this minute."
But he would not believe It. "There
was a look in her eyes today that
made me hope for a minute."
"It's a man's place to let a girl know
tljat he cares."
But even wise little Betty did not
know Catharine, for the lady of the
frozen heart was In her room, dream-
ing with her eyes on her own little
fire, the flames of which cast
shadows over her thoughtful face.
"He loves me," she said to herself,
"but he is poor and afraid to tell me."
So a little later she crept down to
him.
Betty had gone after an admonl
tion. "Don't tell her how rich yon
are, at first," she said, "or it will spoil
the romance for her."
As Catharine entered the room she
found the man who loved her gazing
at the picture he had painted. She
crept up behind him softly. "I want
you to paint another," she said.
He tuined to her quickly. "Another
picture?" he stammered.
"Yes," she said, "I want you to
paint me as the 'Lady of Dreams.' I
don't want any snow or Ice or fronen
things, but flowers and sunshfne.
You have made me a thing of ice r.ndl
hardness—I want you to paint me as
a woman who can love."
He stood silent before the beaftty
of her surrender. "Could you etieu
love a gentleman in a straw hat?'-
"I could love—you."
After a time, when they had HalA
all the wonderful first things that
lovers must tell, he explained his da'
ception. "There was no necesrity
for the straw hat," he told her, "nol
for the shabby clothes." But he did
not let her know that he was rich, ha
wanted first to paint her as his "Lady
of Dreams" nnd to feel the happiness
of the man who knows that not be-
cause of his position, not because ot
outward things, is he beloved, b«t V-
cause of his own true worth.
