A Jewel That Bears a Deadly Repute- tion In Spain. • It seems strange to read In these days of a ring which .is believed to have an evil influence over its owner and which is known as "Mephisto's ring." Yet such a ring exists and until re- cent years was In possession .of the Spanish royal? family. The ring is. set with a very large emerald, in the cen- ter of which is inserted a ruby. It Is first heard of in the sixteenth century, since when the kings - who owned it have suffered disasters uniim- ited, while the whole country has grad-* •rally sunk from Its fernier eminent no-. When the late Hispano -American war broke out the ring was presented to a church. The sacred, building short- ly after was destroyed by fire: • The next resting place of the 'ring,' was a museum. which was twice struck by lightning while holding .the til omened jewel. The fatal ring has now, It Is said. been packed in a strong box and se- curely buried. It remains to be seen„ whether this will finally put an end to its "mystic" power. • • • Psychine Missionaries A friend of Dr. Slocum Remedies- writes: "Send a bottle of .Psyching to Mrs.. W...

"Well, I never saw btni Were, but I'll lay a good sized bet that he's an Englishman and, moreover, a Lon. (loner." "Bow do you tell?" the friend asked.

As the first !usery chime rang through the room the guests, amid gay raillery, threw off their masks.

Expedition' Across Prairie on Hay . It's ;haying tiwagonsrnc out upon Etsi-Kori Coulee': Our blue bend is forty-five miles from everything but life and love and skies and winds! There's a richness and a rareness in feeling free to revel in such intoxicating things. for a whole fortnight --it's a big, wild, luxuriousthat sensation, at would. smother opo if he weren't on that blessed wide prairie. There areto be three hay wagons go, and the, cavalcade forms in front of the village grocery, where we pack our last supplies.

Sweet Clark, his boon cow -punch- ing comrade (I may state neither Short nor Sweet sign those names to court documents), is a carolling. role licking man who will never recover from his chronic malady. boyishness —forever with a snatch of a love song or a coon melody on his tongue, or else a chocolate or cigarette be- tween his teeth, just a roguish, curly - headed. sparkling sort of fellow. Miss Clark is a bewitching.. blue sunbonneted, denture thing towhich you .w would • entrust your purse or your. friend or your soul. She has heavy, soft, clove -colored hair; great, seri- ous. cornflower -blue eyes, and gentle,: love -speaking fingers. which . can pre- pare delectable dinners' for ravenous. haymakers withal. • That fluffy, petite maiden seated gipsy-fashion at the side' of the rack is Kit , Clark—dancer, . rider. fiddler. singer, coquette, anything that' is de- lightful, She has joined this. expedi- tion because it spells mid-afternoon tete-a-tetes, with the haymakers while they eat the lunches she carries. and moonlight flirtations as they return to, camp from the couleeside.

When the boys waken they mount their saddle -horses and lope off across the prairie in search of fresh water. We lazily watch the long, graceful bounds of the horses through the flank -reaching grass. The motion hints hauntingly of beautiful, pleas- ing, solemn pipe organ strains, or of strong; swinging lines from the grand- er poets. These horses of the prairie seem altogether to belong to the age of Homer and heroes and gods --they are so full of life and grace and strength, For a moment the riders halt outlined against the sunlight • on the brow of a distant butte,' then they vanish. The sun is an hour lower when they return. They announce that they have descried a sheep-campp somemiles ahead at Horse Ranch lake. where .the beams may be out, spanned while we prepare a meal.. Then they ride off' again to warn the shepherd that ladies are to be miter - tamed by him, , The herder. who had seen no human face for three weeks, received us with a sheepish, scaredsort of welcome. He produced generous quantities of sour dough" bread and choice lamb, and the men prepared supper upon the . grass while, we girls rearranged our hair . and. bathed our burnt faces. What a merry, informal meal we had ! The sun was low down, the horses were cooling themselves standing in the lake, while away beyond on the hillside. the sheep were peacefully grazing. When the horses had again been hooked up we left the shepherd and his dog standing lonelily at the camp door and we pulled on still eastward. Behind us. was , all . brightness as of the open portals of heaven—before us the curtains of night had already drooped,. In the darkening blue -black sky the silent stars , came out, and 'then lower down at the horizon's verge there flamed . tip• the weird, ' ghastly lights of. prairie fires. We huddled closed to each ,other for corn- panionship and quoted snatches of all the poems we could recall which fit- ted into such an eerie setting. Riding ever eastward. we watched a pale, hay-coloredmoon break her way through the clouds. bleaching the prairie grass and throwing a mystical softness not to be called light, over all the evening. ' Then we sang, first rag -time, :then college -time, then church -time.. The restfulness was brok ' en all too : soon by cries from the leading wagons: `Here we are ! Hur- , rah for the canyon!
