A TRICK OF THE PLAINS 13y Cien, Charlee King One clear, cold November morning far away among the foothills of the Rockies, the cavalry guard at Font Fos ter had just marched to its post wlien a commotion occurred at the rear gate. .A man with long hair, spurs and long, lean lege, who had Como galloping from the west, sat on bis plunging cow Penn, shouting and gesticulating wrathfully. Re had tiled to ride in at top speed, but a sentry, 'springing to the middle of the road, had stopped him. Orders prohibited riding or driv- ing into the garrison except at moder- ate speed. "There's no time for foolin'!" yelled the rider at the inflexible sentry. "It's Indiana, I tell you! Who's in eote- mand?" "I'm not foolln'," replied the sentry sturdily, "Indians Or no Indians, I'm in command here, and here you'll atop until you can ride quietly." By that time a group of curious spec- tators bad gatl:ored. Tho adjutant stepped briskly over to see what was the matter, and the eorporal of the guard came an the run.

' "Who are you, and where's your ranch?" asked the major, as he eyed the stranger, . "Who --me? Why, everybody knows met I was scout for Jim Bridger "way back before the war days. I ran the pony express two years from Lar'mle to Devil's Gate. I was scout for the Utah expedition in '60, the time we got snowed in on the Sweetwater. Every body knows me! Why, I was guide to the 2nd Dragoons for two seasons, and everybody in the 3rd Cavalry can tell you who old Bill Skinner is, Broncho Bill, they call me, because there's not a broncho from the Platte to the Pecos I can't break and ride. Why, where on earth did you fellows come from?" The cowboy secut's array of refer- ences was impressive. In great detail he retold his story how the Sioux had jumped Harmon's at dawn and offered to lead the command to a ford ou the Platte where they would be sure to overtake the Indians, He was indig- nant at such cross-examination, "Any time during the last ten years'that I've come into this post with an alarm," said he, "you'd a' heard boots and sad- dles sound quick as a flash, and the whole gang would have turned out to follow me. How far away is Har- mon's? Forty mile, Wity didn't Igo into Lennie? 'Cause they chased me this way. I was in big luck to get out at all." The major looked doubtfully round him, seeking suggestion in the impas- sive faces of the adjutant and the old and the new officer of the day. He hated to order his mea out on a wild- goose chase, but he would hate In- finitely more to have it said of him' that he had failed to act in an Indian raid. "Order out troops B and K at once," he said after a moment's reflection. "Capt. Mount, you will go in com- mand." It was the major's first chance to show the regiment that be was a man; of few words but much energy. Thel adjutant seized his eap and was away in a second. The captain gravely('( saluted and said, "How many days' ra- t" ons, sir?" 1 "Three!" snapped the major with ai flash in his eye. The two troops were already sad-{ dung when the adjutant returned, The major and the stranger were still, in 1 earnest conteersation, "Mr, Billings," said the major, "this scout says that he had to drop his rifle and that his pistol's damaged., Just issue him a carbine and a revol-; ver, will your And let him have cart -1 ridges, too. Of course he'll have to be armed." "Who'll sign for 'em, sir?" asked the adjutant, whose pay was already mote.: gaged with the money valve of numer sus carbines and pistols "issued to scouts" during the summer campaign, "I'll be responsible," said he dom.' mander shortly. "And --let Mr. Skin.' ner have breakfast, too." The adjutant had seen much more of frontier scouts than the major had and was still doubtful about Broncho Bill Skinner, "Why weren't you with Buffalo Bill and our own scouts last summer?" he asked while the cook was preparing bot cakes and coffee. "Bili Cody! Why, bless ye, adjutant, Bili Cody most got down on his knees to me at Lodge Pole last June an' beg- ged me to go. Said 118'd give me two hundred and fifty a month, but 1'd pro- mised Gen. Reynolds I'd go with him - I was chief scout on the Lar'mie range watching the reservations while you fellows were chasing through the Pow- der River country—an' they bain't paid my bill yet. I got a claim for up- ward of two thousand dollars for ser- vices an' stock worn out during those two summers." At that point Capt. Mount eame In to say that his men were ready. About ten o'clock they rode away, four offi- cers, the doctor, ninety-five troopers and Mr. Broneho Bill Skinner, bound for klarmon's ranch. "I had to let that long-haired liar have a fresh horse," said the quarter- master to the adjutant when they had silently watched the column out of sight. "What are you down for?" "Carbine, revolver and sixty rounds of ammunition," said the adjutant briefly, "Bet you its the last we ever see of 'em." But the grizzled captain who was sent forth In command of the two troops lcnew something about scouts. In forty-eight hours the r-olumn was back,mone the worse for the trip, but the redoubtable Skinner was not with them. "What is the matter?" inquired the major. • "Nothing," replied Capt. Mount placidly. "kHarmon's place is all right, There hasn't been a Sioux south of the Platte since summer." "What did you do with Skinner?" asked the major. "Nothing," replied Capt. Mount "All ha wanted was 4 new Celan and anes.i port to the minas in the sleek I111s; That'swhy he tried to guide us north to the Platte !Woad of west up Bol: Elder. He'd counted on our going his way, and I'd counted on his going mleo,. As soon ns she :Quell that out be saw Wiens away oft northward and started atter them, and I started S.orgt, Dolan and three men after him, They'll bring In all that we want of him." They caught him late that night. He had led them a lung chase, but they were experienced men, They brought in the horse, the arms and the ammo• nitioe, but not the man. "Why didn't they bring him?" asked the major. "No law to corer tate ease," replied the captain. "All the courts in Ciiey'! enne would bave been after Mt 11 we'd laid a band on him. He'll sue for dam• ages as it is—when lie's had time to walk back. But 1'11 settle him," And that evening the captain wrote to the "'old reliable" ot'tlie regiment, the world-famous Buffalo Bill, who through six summers and tour stirring campaigns had led the outfit all over the Indian country. This was the scout's answer: "Know Bel Skinner? 'Deed Ido- for the biggest liar and sleekest horse thief 'from the Platte to tbe Pecos,' as he says. He never saw Jim Bridger, never rode a pony express, never earn- ed an honest dollar in his lite that I ever heard of; and we wouldn't take him on the Sloes eompaign for the reason that he was always seeing In- dians when there weren't any and never when there was. That's Bill Skinner—and there's lots more like him!!" And so we learned. We had men who were invaluable, like.'lluftalo 13111 himself, Ben Clark with the Cheyen- nes„ Cosgrove with the Shoshones, Frank Gruard with the Sioux, Al Sieb- er with the Apaches, all those men we learned to trust. But In the old cavalry days the frontier was full of Buckskin Petes and Bronebo Bills.—Youth's Companion, THE PART PENNY PLAllli). Thele was a great ileal of excite- ment in the air, Cousin Dora King WAS going to be married, and everyone was busy doing something for the wed- ding; that is, ,everyone except Penny. Cousin Dora lived at Penny's house and that was where the wedding was going to take place, en the lawn tinder the:old,aycamore tree. Yes, everybody except poor little Penny was playing a part in the wed- ding, Mother had made the wedding dress, every stiteh with her own hands, and it looked pretty enough for a princess. But, as mother had said, Cousin Dora would be Princess Charming, for she was going to marry Prince Charming. That was what Penny and her little twin sisters,. Kitty and Isabel, called him. Kitty and Isabel were to be flower girls. Penny was too tall to be a flower girl and too small to be a bridesmaid. It seemed dreadful to be between sizes. Miss Diana Clark was to play the wed- ding march. She was a noted pianist and lived in the city, and she was Cousin Dore's very dear friend. At last the wedding day came. Everybody was in a flurry of exeite- ment, running here and there and do- ing this and that, and flowers and presents were arriving every other minute. Penny felt in the way. She was really no part of it -just a looker- on, like many others who were coin.' ing, and she did -not know what to do with herself. Finally she thought she would go into the parlor and practice, t and how she did practice; scales that she detested,—anything and every- thing,—trying to forget that she was not actually a part of the wedding. • Of course Cousin Dora would have been dreadfully troubled had she' known how much Penny took it to, h A Triumph of Friendship. A fine story comes from India. The famous and influential Hindu, Mahat- ma Grandi, was recently attacked by acute appendicitis while he was in prison, whither his opposition to the British government had brought ham. Something bad to be done at once, In other times ouch a man—a rebel in the eyes of the prison authorities— might have been allowed to die while the red tape of the prison rules was being unwound; but the English doc- tor, Colonel Maddock, seeing that no time ought to be lost, ordered out his own car and hurried his patient to the Poona Hospital, where he operated up- on him. GandLi was under chloroform and the doctor was ready to use hLa'in- struments when suddenly the electric light went out, and everything was in darkness. There, had been a break- down in the machinery, but there was no time to wait for repairs. Under the pale gleam of a hurricane lantern the doctor calmly proceeded with tbe operation and thus saved -the man's life. Doctor and nurses attended their patient with all possible skill, and their tenderness and consideration made a deep impression not only upon Gandhi but upon the Indian population far and wills; Yor in the eyes of the Hindus, Gandhi's lire is sacred be -I cause of his love for the poor and hia self-saeriftcfng career, When he was released tram prison Ilandhe, whose gratitude to the man who had saved his lite was touching. said to the doctor: "I trust you will allow me to remain your patient a lit- tle ittle longer." And he remained there at the prison until he was quite strong again. A warm friendship bas sprung up between the two man,—two of the finest specimens of East and West, -- and that friendship mny have the bap- piest consequences for India. The Brt- fish doctor, by his devoted conduct to- ward his prisoner, has genuinely touched the bearts of thousands who were previously only too ready to call themselves the enemies of his race.

"Penny" she cried, "1 a m glad, ! 0h, so gladl WhY, X declare Iam almost glad that Diana Clark didn't get here. I've wanted you in my bridal party so bad, Penny, ---bless your dear utile' heart," So after all Penny was not a plain looker-on, She played the wedding march, and elle wore the fluffy -ruffled pink organdy, and instead of a wide pink satin ribbon bound round her curls like Kitty's and Isabel's she wore a lovely floppy leghorn hat that was in the bride's trousseau. And Penny 'was the proudest and happiest little girl in the land, because she had such an important part to play at Cousin Dorees wedding to Prince Charming. Linda Stevens Almond, in Youth's Companion. • Before long Kitty and Isabel came, dancing in to say that their dresses had come- Here they were in a box, and Kitty lifted one out, a fluffy - ruffled pale pink organdy, and held it up to her. "011, it's bee-utiful!" Penny exclaim- ed, wheeling around from the piano. "Is mine in there, Kitty?" Yes, Penny's dress was there. It was exactly like the little flower girls' dresses, for mother had said that, even! if Penny wasn't in the bridal party, she should have a fluffy-duffled pink organdy dress like Kitty's and Isabel's. ' "Let's hold them up to us and march up and down," said Isabel. "Yes, let's," cried Kitty, clapping her hands. "And I'll play the wedding march,"; said Penny, and as the little flower-, girls -to -be marched sedately up and dawn the parlor play it she did, and remarkably well too, for Penny was a gifted little pianist. A few minutes later Cousin Dora and mother came into the parlor all aflutter over something. Cousin Dora 1 looked as if she were almost ready to cry, and mother was patting her arm' and saying, "But, Dora dear, anybody —why, we can call upon almost any- body. Don't feel so bad about it" "Oh, I know theft almost anybody can be called upon, Cousin Belle there's Mr. Wurtz, who has played at rehearsal, and Mrs. Hull, Penny's music teacher, and oh, dozens of peo- plel But I was sentimental enough to wish to have in my bridal party the ones I loved and those who love me. You know I'm silly about some things." Penny and Kitty and Isabel stole softly aver to their mother and Cousin Dora. Oh, how sorry they were to see Cousin Dora unhappy ori her wedding day! Penny forgot all about her own lit- tle sorry and pressed closer, and said, "013, Cousin Dora, please, what has happened?" Cousin Dora just had to smile at Penny's tragic little face. She said, "Bless your heart, Penny. I suppose it doesn't amount to a row of pins really, but Diana Clark, my dear friend, who was going to play the wed- ding march, has telegraphed that she missed a train and cannot possibly get here until to -night. So you see, it means that I shall have to call upon some one else to play—" "Oh!" Isabel jumped straight up and down. "Let Penny play its Penny can play it. She was playing it tem minutes ago." "Do you think -7" cried Cousin Dora, "I don't see why not," said mother. Poor Penny did not know whether to laugh or cry, but before she could do either mother was saying, "Quick, Penny child! Run to the piano and let us hear you play it. I know that Mrs. Hull gave you Mendelslohn's Wedding March, but have you ever had the one from Lohengrin?" Penny could hardly answer that she had taken both just because Cousin Dora was acing to be married. It bad seemed fun to take them, but she did not know the march from I,ohen- grin so well as she knew Mendel- ssohn'v. Mother said that it didn't matter a whipstitch. No one would, be listeninig anyway when it was all over. As for Cousin Dora, she was just laughing for joy, anti she said that it i would be all right lo pioy Mendel- ; ssohn's before end after the ceremony. So Penny played the wedding march and she played it so well that Cousin If The World Stopped Whir What would happenling. 1r the earth stopped rotating? The possibilities must have occur- red to many who read Dr. A. 0, 13, Orommelin's statement to the British Astronomical Association to the effect that the rotation of the earth en its axis was gradually slowing down.

A young student lodging in Edin- burgh went out and bought a violin; and, going upstairs to his room, start- ed to play upon it. His landlady, hearing the unusual sounds, appeared at the bottom of the stairs and shouted; "Mr. Tam, what are ye daein'?" "Oh," said the student, "I'm trying' a new violin -I've just bought."

In many eases valuable furniture has lost Be useful- ness and been discarded for this rea- son, This condition, however, is not al- ways due to the above causes, it would appear. There are numerous qualities of glue, or adhesives. as they are technically called, and the causes of tenure of glued joints may, in many oases be due to the use of an 'insult. able grade. The glue may have been the most expensive procurable, hut not adaptable for the purpose for which it was used, This situation has influenced the Forest Products Laboratories of the Department of the Interior to conduct a aeries of investigations Into the merits of various adhesives for differ- ent purposes.
