As if tlx' sky had mysteriously dis
charged liiui. Foghorn Fernando ap
peared fnr the first time In the village
of Dolcnela one morning about 4
o'clock nod demanded admission to the
Pari lie hotel At that hour the sky was
actually discharging the plump rain
drops of a tropical thunder shower.
Over his breakfast table Colonel
Hopapple. the landlord, described to
his guests the stranger's advent.
Judge Sloat, a disbarred attorney
from I-OS Angeles, suggested. "Let us
look over this person." and they went
to the sunny courtyard to Inspect tho
new arrival.
lie was leaning against a cart wheel
and gazing sadly at Hopapple's aged
pair nf mules as they dozed In their
rope harness. Cross examined, he gave
the name of Fernando He sought em
ployment
"How comes an honest man out of
work?" asked the colonel unreason
ably ^
"How. in truth?" retorted Fernando.
"IIow keep I not the job? Alas! Aye!
It is some curse I toil. 1 slave. But.
listen! I reciunit to you!"
The forthcoming lorrent of words
was not in i lie least intelligible, but
si'i>ii liii tlis'unsolate orator seetned to
be attempting, and with prospect of
success, to mvfcc Ills story audible to
tin- entire county of San Bernardino.
"Ilo-lee smoke'" blurted the Judge.
"Is thai a human throat or a steam
whistle "
"Car r r rainliti!" roared Fernando,
tilling bis lungs for a final effort
IIis shriek uf woe was of miraculous
volume, and the mules instautly tossed
their venerable heels nt the horizon
and flew, panic stricken, out of the
court The crowd Jostled through the
gate in pursuit, while Colonel Hop
apple. wIhi had been knocked over by
the runaways, addressed Fernando
warmly
"Consarn It. why did yon howl like
that?" said he
"Ah. I was excite in the head," ex
plained the little Mexican "Always
when I am excite then must I talk
with strength lint look, senor! But
regard! The muliw, tbey come back
<ui us already!"
Between the blacksmith's and the
hotel wa* Dolcueia's dry goods dis
trict. consisting or Tomas Monzon's
store, and now from the store serenely
emerged Monzon's daughter, Miss
Anita, a larse lady of an indolent
mind Physically aud mentally Anita
moved slowly aud there stood, as if
paralyzed, in the path of danger.
It was little Fernando who scurried
lirst to her side aud stopped the mnies.

The pew next to Miss Monzon's was

Fernando left the mission forever.

Fernando Hereupon applied again
for employment at tbe Pacific hotel,
but Colonel Hopapple before answer
ing "pulled, his chair Into the shade and
stared doubtfully across tbe plaza.
" 'Fears to me. my son," remarked
the colonel, "tbnt the dispensation, of
Providence lws got you saddle galled
when It comes to keepln1 jobs. That
pesky syroen contraption yon carry
In your chest Is liable any minute to
stampede stock and bust up trade and
scare folks plumb Into forgettln' their
meals."
"But that loudness of me Is not of
ten." suggested Foghorn Fernando.
Tbe colonel waved hla corncob,
"Didn't you ever take some thin' for
It—slippery elluin or boneset or some
thin:? Well, by time! What's this nn
beknown caravan a-comln'?"
The last question was provokefl by
an enormous four horse wagon swing
ing around the corner of the street
The wagon body was boxed In by gay
ly patuted canvas bearing the legend:
OLD DR. Q1MBLE. M. D.
GENERAL HEALER.
ONE PRICE TO ALL
When the vehicle reached the hotel
a tall, gray bearded Individual wearing
a linen duster leaped frous tbe driver's
sent
"Howdy, doc?" said Hopapple pleas
antly.
"Good morning, .my friend." replied
the general healer. •'Can you tell me
the size of this settlement?"
"You can see it all from here," said
the landlord, gesturing at Dolcnela
with his pipe.
Dr. Glmble looked about him care
fully.'
"I don't guess It would pay me to
stop." he decided "I've got to mnke
a county fair tomorrow, and—there
ain't anybody sick In this town, any
way, Is there?"
"Not that I've heard of." Hopppple
rejoined "We're rol'rahle preserved,
thank yon" Then Ills eyes fell on
Fernando, perched despondently on
the hitching rail. "Why. by mighty. I
dunuo. after nil!" mused the colonel.
"How do you stand, doc. on the science
of the throat?"
"Ace big," declared the physician.
"Give me a quarter, open your mouth
and say 'Ah.'"
"Shucks. It ain't me!" Hopapple
corrected. "It's that little greaser. If
you can enre his voice I'll go you two
bits just for greens Talk loud for
the doc. you, Fernando, and Til hold
them horses If I can "
Foghorn obeyed, while the plaza I
rang like a sounding board. The as- j
tonished Glmble rubbed his ears and j
glared at Fernando with great earnest- J
ness. ; . r,- . t. '
""I' or me love or «ikci uc
"How long can you keep that op?"
"It's the easiest thing he does, and
thafs .Oe trouble," said Colonel Hop
apple. "He'd keep It up all day If be
wasn't stopped. Can you cure hlra?"
The doctor, after a thoughtful pause,
removed tils silk hat and with It flap
ped Fernando three deliberate strokes
on the left shoulder _
"Cure hhu!" cried .Glmble Joyously.
"No, I won't cure him. If he'll hire
out with me I'll give bim $100 e

wugon shows and a merry-go-round,
and tills fellow will sure make the

Why, put blm ou u platform outside a
H by 0 tent with that voice and my

thinking it was Rnrnum & Bailey.
What do you say, partner?" *" <
Fernando, in a blissful daze, said noth
ing Hi.- had understood nothing er
eept tho proposed salary, and his reti
cence caused the showman to be fear
ful of losing such a vocal treasure
"Here's .in advance of $00 to bind

ly "We'll start for Oactus City In a

When Feroaudo entered Monzon's
establishment that forenoon the Indig
nant merchant reached for his broom
stick. but Foghorn never wavered. He
held his bend high and bummed a tune
as he glanced around the store In the
maimer of the «mpeyor of Germany

"Where Is the proprietor cf this lit

bill on the showcase.

"Sweetheart!" she murmured to Fer^

Foghorn yawned at her elaborately,

RABBITS ARE A PEST
IX THE ALASKAN INTERIOR
Among the islands which «ousti
tute tho Alexander archipelago, in
fact throughout the greater por
tion of Southeastern Alaska, rab
bits are unknown, in a wild state.
Several attempts have been made
in recent years to "plant" them on
islands, but the success of the un
dertaking is still in doubt. How
ever, they are plentiful around
Haines and in parts of the interior
country, so much that in many
places they, become a pest. Prof.
C. C. Georgeson, spocial agent in
charge of tho United States gov
ernment experiment stations in Al
aska, iu his annual report for 1913
says;
Rabbits did much damage to the
crops. They have increased so ra
pidly of late years throughout the
interior that they have become a
serious pest. Whole fields of grain
were eaten off as close as if they
had been cut with, a mower. There
were literally thousands of them.
One could not walk along the fields,
especially near the edge of the tim
ber, without encountering them by
the score. Several' farmers in the
Fairbanks district lost the greater
part of their crops from this pest,
and the experiment station also suf
fered severely. NotUng could be
done to abate this nuisance except
to build rabbit proof fences around
the fields, which would be out of
the question on account of the ex
pense. The country is too large
and the settlers too few to make it
practicable to make war on them,
even fcy concerted action; and the
timber and bushes afford hiding
places for them which would frus
trate attempts at rabbit drives. But
nature will provide a remedy. Jlany
of them were apparently afflicted
with some contagious disease which
killed off great numbers, and it is 1
thought that they will not be so
numerous next year.
HAIR TELLS CHARACTER.
Color of Hair Sniil to Igdicat« a I'er
aoii'c Temperament.
Many people believe that blonde, 01
light hair denotes affection and dark
hair constancy. A person without hair
Is not devoid of character; far from it.
The disposition of the average bald
headed man is to show such soliciludt
for the welfare of others, that he r.og
lects himself. A germ causes baldness
Prof. Sabouraud, of Paris, France, in
nocculated a rabbit with Dandruff germs
causing It to become totally bald in fiv<
weeks' time. To rid the scalp of tb<^
dangerous perms It Is necessary to appl:
