CHAPTER VI. The ancient bromide to the effect that man proposes but God disposes was never better exemplified than in the case of Jetta Stuart Webster, who, having formulated certain daring plans for the morrow and surrendered himself to grateful slumber in his stateroom aboard the Gulf States Berl, awoke on that momentous morn to a dinitinet apprehension that .1.1 ; not as it should be with him. ills mouth reminded him %agilely of a bird-and.atilmal More, and riot and in- surrection had broken out in the geometric center of Ms internal economy. Webster was sufficient of a jack -leg doctor to suspect he Was IleVelOplag a splendid little case of ptomaine poisoning. Ile decided to go into ex- ecutive session with the sleeping -car enteludor, ss ho wired ahead for a doc- tor to r»eet the train at the next sta- tion. Anti ellen the sawleines came awl pawed Jack Webster over, he gravely announced that if the patient had the slightest ambition to vote at the next premidentlal election, he should leave the train at St. Louis and enter ft hospital forthwith. To this heart -breaking program 'Webster en- tered not the slightest objection, for when a man is seriously III, he Is In much the same position as a politician —to -wit : lie Is In the hands of his friends. Ilooeves life had the linbit of go- ing hard with Webster so frequently that fortunately he was traindi to the minute, and after three days of heroic battling the doctor awnrded Jack the decision. Thereafter they kept him in the hospital ten days longer, \feeding him up\ as the patient expressed R— at the end of which period Webster, some fifteen pounds lighter and not quite so fast on his feet as formerly, resumed Ms journey toward New Or- leans. In the meantime, however, several things had happened. To begin, Do- lores !they spent two days wondering what bad become of her quondam knight of the whiskers—at the end of which period she arrived in New Orleans with the conviction strong upon her that while her hero might be as conned - rue as a wounded lion when dealing with men, he was the pos- sessor, when dealing with women, of about two per cent less courage than a cottontail rabbit. Beteg a very he- lium young lady, however, she could not help wondering whnt had become of the ubiquitous Mr. Webster, al- though the fact that he had mysteri- ously disappeared front the train en• route to New Orleans did not perturb her one-balf so much as It had the dis- appearee. She had this advantage over that unfortunate man. Whererie he did not know she was bound for Buenaventura, she knew he Wriri; hence, upon arrival in New Orleans she dismissed him from her thoughts, serene in *biding faith . that sooner or later her knight would appear, like little Ilo-Peep's lost •sheep, di:egging his tail behind him, so to speak. Dolores spent a week In New Or. tome renewing schoolgirl friendships frcin her convent days in the quaint old town. This stop -over, together with the one in Denver, not having been taken into consideration by Mr. Wililem Geary when lie and Mother Jenks commenced to speculate upon the approximate date of her arrival In Buennventurn, resulted In the preme- lure flight of Mother Jenks to San Miguel the Padua, a fruitless visit On the Part Of Billy aboard the Cadge% of the United Fruit company's line, fellowed by a hurry call to Mother fenlor to return to Buenaventura until the nrrival of the next steamer.

I'll look over the pasaenger list,\ and together they moved off toward Ids office. Dolores followed, drawn by tile mention of that magic Milne Webeter. and paused In front of the passer's office to lean over the tail, ostensibly to watch the cargadores In their lighters clustering around the great ship, but in reality to learn more of the mysterious Web- ster. \Blest the luck,\ Billy Geary growled, \the old sinner bat here. By the wny, do you happen to have a Miss Delores Riley aboard?\ • Dolores prieked up her little ears. What possible interest could this stranger have Ill her goings or com- ings? \You picked a winner this time. BM.\ she heard the purser say. \Stateroom sixteen, boat -deck, star- board side.

Usually when a new bull .e taken Into the buffalo herd at Golds/. Gate park in San Francisco his etariebng is promptly decided by a challenge from the heed of the herd. The newcomer either wins the fight and in Burn is ex- alted to the rank of sovereign or he Is defeated and shown his place. But U new bull. Mogul, recently proved to be an exception. Ile was two years old, a fine example of what a young buffalo should be, and he seemed thor- oughly content to mind his own busi- ness and to let the other bulls tnind theirs. No one would have known that there was a Dew buffalo in the herd. One morning the keepers Raw that there wets something In the air. Mogul wns sniffing round the reigning bull. They were apart from the herd, heads down, and were moving round slowly. It W811 the queerest beginning of a bullfight that the keepers had ever seen. It appeared as if Mogul would knock out the old bull with one toss. As they moved round and round Mo- gul seemed to be horning the other bull In the eye, and the other bull did not seem to be making the leant re- sistance. Then they pulled apart and Mogul put down his head. The old bull had a bunch of thorny cactus sticking over his right eye, and Mogul Was horning it off as best Ile could with his clumsy short little horns. Finally, after two more at- tempts, circling round as before, he got the cactus off, and each moved away about his own business.—YoutiV , Compaolon. Sharing Your Books. The world is full of shut -Ins, and there are those who are star:vies for booing and papers, but how many of us make any effort to search them out? A clever article on books Which I lately rend annoyed me by explaining how stupid is the custom of bor- rowing books, and how vastly more desirable It is for each man to own his own. I decided that the * writer was a rich mutant (although my better judgtnent should tell me that writers seldom are rich), and I decided also that he Was missing a lot of good things if hue neither lends: nor borrows books. I believe that n book Is about the pleasantest thing there Is to shere. It produces such a bond of sympathy if It Is enjoyed by a friend, and it provides at once something worllt while to talk about. And people do return books. cape - chilly if you put your nneue and \please return\ Inside and remember where your books are visiting.—Elin Wlster Haines in Christine Herald.
