THE NQJlFQLIvNEWS : FUIBAY , JULY 18,11)02. ) i ; SUNBONNET | iiSUE t ! ! Copyright , iMi , liIziAa \ f\nruttr It was In July when Jock Cogglns came up tlio vnllcy. There had been no rain for a month , and the stage driver paid there was trouble nU along the line from Falling Deer. "Thcrc'.B a man , on the front seat , " Jerry Holmes said when the white covered , wagon came slowly up Main street Main stret was broad and dusty , nnd Tom Holmes' yellow dog , was sprawled out full length In Its center. "There's something else , too , " added Mrs. Holmes , shading her eyes with her aproil , "tumbled over In his 1pp. " The wagon drew up flve minutes later beside the yellow dog. "Got any water ? " ' called the stranger. "We've come out from Nebraska. " He lifted the tumbled something ten- dcrly in his , long , thin arms. A little pink sunbonnet fell In the dust of the road , and Tout's yellow dog strolled over and smelled of It interestedly. "Land , It's a baby girl ! " cried Mrs. Holmes , stretching out her arms hun grily. CoggiiiR lifted his head from the water p.all Tom hud brought. ' He had drunk In deep drafts , llko n horse. , "I had to leaA'o her mother down yonder , " he replied as he bentover , the tangle of moist light curia that lay back wearily on his , shoulder. ' . 'There was another one , 109 boy , little bit 6f a' skinny fellow , 'bout two months old. She'd never been just well since he came , but we thought maybe the trJp.w6uld do her good. .So we sold out and. , camp up from West Qhlpco , and tber.e , wasn't any water , and the ' ' b'ab'y got sick. " . fle stopped and looked oft over the . way he iiad driven , . "Then What ? " asked Tom bluntly , staring up at the stranger with the frank curiosity of ten years. "Then one night tUey both dled/'Te turned Coggina. gently , . "down there near the river , 'bout thirty miles or so. Fd , have stayed there , too , if It , hadn't been for , this , one , " He twisted a loose curl around his linger thought fully. "Name's Sue , " he added. "Mother's name too. " So Sue came to Rainbow Valley , and she and her pink sunbonnet were loved more than. Tom. nnd his yellow dog. In tenyears , the boom .struck the val- , , leyj Old Jerry Holmes .found the vein , and they -call him the , copper king hi New. . York now : By the time the full news of the discovery reached the country he owned every acre of the ! claim hnd was buying town lots on Main street From , end to end the val- Y- > ley filled , and fortunes were easy. A * , ' _ hotel rose where , Holmes' general store ' ' / ; , " , had stood , and there came also a railroad - . , ; , " ' road and a theater and throe churches ' " ' . nnd a public fountain with red genini- * " ' um beds around It , splashed in" the ff > . ' center of Main street where Tom's L"/ ' yellow dog had sprawled. But the little Cogglns shaclc on the ' - side of Big Eagle remained the same , ' , nii from emi to end of the town Sue nnd her pink sunbonnet were known nnd loved. It was , a larger sunbonnet now and a pinker one , and the 'face be neath wds' rosy and round cheeked nnd dimpled , but there were the same loose blond curjs and the brown eyes that ; ' had , belonged to thetlred , .baby h.l ; 'who had come upfrom.Nebraska lope'ago. .Coggina was quiet and nonprogress- lye aa ev.er.t5Vben . , tbe electric , par was put on , between the mines and the foot Of ila'lfa street , be went to Holmes' , s cot the rurinihg of It and was content- , ' ed. Every day. when the motor car made Its noonrtrlp a dot , of bright pink flashed out at : oneaw.lndow . There , w.as a ( ItUe , stool which tpod .beside , the ' con oller .bjpx an jjihyfe Sue \yould ; i perch , v atchlng Qpgginas he worked $ ? l9v < * w-lth steady hand wh'iio ' he ' xvhistletf "Dixie l&h'0 > and all 'the ' way from-the mines'to the depot the" men would raise ( their heads to watch for the flas'hiQf.p'lfak , and they called bet Sunbonnet .Sue. . ; The big strike came , .

Holm.eswUh ib demands , of , a Distant ring of , labor agitators , he laughed am told them ii6y ( had quit for gdod , fee far as' ' he was 'poricenied. That -was after they had tried to fire tile mines and had burned the. freight sheds along the track. When therumor , spread lat er that , a gang of Swedes and Poles had. been wired for , from the , east , , the old crowd started for the mines to fine , Holmes. . t When the lopg line of men passed ; out of town , Sue stood watching the dark masses , .fade away into .tho purple - plo hill distances. Qvcr In a cnpo seat ed , cbnir , tlp'ped back .lazily .against the kitchen wall , sat Coggins , smoking. "They won't hurt any one , will they father , ? " Sue asked'anxiously ' : > "Isn't any one , therefor them to hurt , " replied Jjck qpnten edly ; "I guess they a bnven't'any dy'nanilte.aqyway. They'll Just walk around and talk. " t Sue turned from * him Athouphtfully. ThoiSfac,99 df.th men had lodked as thqqgh tljey intended dolng more that ; jwa'lkltig arquud prid .talking. Allvn1 onqo a shadow fell jn front > of , the ' kltchcHj dpor. . It was M s , Holmes' bareheaded and wiiitp ftted ? , as sli'c ' , had run down from the hotel at the f first alarm , . "Where's your father , Sue ? " she asked breathlessly. Coggins rose. "Right here , Mrs. Holmes , " he said "What's up ? " . . * . 1UObrl'm ; BO felttBt" HUD "exclaimed. "Jerry's sroue to meet the troop * from I Cheyenne , but there's T < ? ui nntl a dozen muiv up thertj ut the niluea. They've got n lot of dynamite , nnd the boys lon't even know they're comlnR. Jerry old Tom to stand guard until hu came vllh the tropps. There Is no way but the motor line. " Jack looked beyond her to where Sue stood , alert and eager eyed. "She's only got me , " ho begun , but Sue shook her head nt htm reproach * fully. "Do you think I'd stay here alone ? Of c'ourso not. ' ' She had her sunbon- ict In her hand , untying the tangled strings quickly. ' Vc'1,1 , K.o , , father and : , Mrs. , Holmes , " she added td the lat ter. "You Just watch for the troops nnd Pond them on quick , and we'll look out for Tom and the rest. Won't we , father ? " Cogglns entered the little house nnd returned with his hat nnd coat. "Wonder If any of them , are watch- , ng the track , " Cogglns said presently ns the car swung along the track and up ltlg Eagle's flrst Incline. Sue sat In her old place beside him. "There nre splendid 'places Ao hide nil along here , " she said. Oiie mlle was passed. The car swirled merrily around Black Hock bend. It was straight running from there around : he mountain side. Coggtns was whis tling his fqvorlte , "Dixie Land , " , nnd to Sue the ride seemed only the same ns those she had taken so often. It was hard to realize that the lives of BO many people depended on the speed of the little yellow car crawling llko some strange new animal steadily nlong1 the ? south shoulder of Dig Eagle , but nil nt ouce there came n sharp report , and something struck the woodwork above her head. "They're up the track , " Cpgglnssald. "Lean down 'low , dearie , away from the window1. I saw heads bobbing over those bushes. " Another shot burled Itself some where In the window casing , and n man's voice shouted : "Slpjv up , there , Cogglns ! We want that carl" , Jack drew. , his breaUi. hard , qnd glanced back to see that Sue was safe , dalf a mile more to ( he mines , and perhdps ev6ry foot of the way on nm- Uush ! ne'smiled ' grimly and loosened the lever In hid hand , although not n hundred , feet away a man stood in thn center of the , track with a leveled pla- tol. Cogglns recognized him , , "Look out , S eveJ I'm going to run her through j" he called , but as the car swept forward with fresh Impetus there was another shot , and Sue saw her father fall. Before she fully real ized what had happened she had sprung up nnd taken his place , and when the strikers started to make a rush for the car nli they saw was n pink sunbonnet waving from the win dow. A dozen shots 'had followed up the one/ sent by thp foreman , but , now { he sight of that flag of truce stayed many a finger waiting on n trigger , and the nngry faces on either side of the track softened as Sue leaned out and waved to them as she hnd so often done. "You've shot " she cried father ! , and then the car had passed. Not another shot Vas tired , for the Avord went from Up to lip , "It's Cogglns' Sue. " Five minutes later the car drew up nt the mines , nnd Tom Holmes ran to meet It. Now that all was over and the danger past Sue wns kneeling be side her father , crying ns If her heart would break. "He. Isn't dead , Sue ! " Tom exclaimed after he had found the wound In his shoulder and Sue had sobbed out her Bt9.ry. "And never , mind the strikers. We'll be , ready for them. " When the strikers came up the nar row gulch , they found the entrance to th'O' mines guarded by n sturdy little force of armed men , so as the sunlight faded .over the mountains they settled do.wn a ; siege. . . , t /It'eeemed an ' age until , there came , the sound of th'o surprise In the gulch as , the sojdlers came up behind the strikers 'and drove- them Mck , on an on , through the tilic'k woods. Then ni last all was silent , and when thfe motor car mdde' its homeward trip at a'awii with 'Sue ' i nndi her father and old Holmee , 'and , < Tom safe -on board- the b.lupiClad.bpys who , guarded the. track chep.rejd 'KJjen , ; tb y saw , fho facs , gf Coggjns ; tyft tty ) tfJUdow , ApA UP ntvthe injrios , when , the , Dr,6t 6haft , of god { rstiot through b'e 'pio s , it gllm ; mered on BOmetliln'g' that fltittered fdi up dn a big fla'gpdlb ' > dutslde the eh- traricei tt fadod'-plhk nunbonnot- hang ing there In honor beside" the etars and stripes. The alligator of South America , says a traveler In that region , is the roptijo most disliked by the natives. That terrible creature feeds -oil fish , carrion add animals which it is euccessfu enough to surprise- - , they come to drink .qt the water's .edge , .Man nlqo frcqqently .falls . a v/cJJm , nnd for that reason the natives of jijacps > yhere the alligator } s. common , ha , ve. , devised varl ous methods for , killing it There was n pond ncdr 'where ' I was dncb staying where the wild cattle went in herds to drink ; olid thcro hunters used to , Jay in wait for them. One day one of the hunters , , golog , Jnto the waten cawo RcrosB up alligator , which seized him by the Ifnec. He bqgan , to call for help , but h's ' qomradcs , Instead of going to his rescue , ran away , thinking he had fallen into the hands of the hostile na tivcs. The alligator had not a good hold of his knee , but would not let go while the man struggled. The hunter had presence of mind , enough , how ever , to become still and pretend thn he was , dead , whereupon the alligator loosened his hold to take a new apt securer one. When it did so , the man pulled away Bis knee and interposed tils gun , which 'the creature at once Belted 'BoiBavngcly > nsd firmly Ihnt 1 was jerked out of the man'a hand * . GEORGE ELIOT'S FACE , I rs nld to llnvn Ilcrit n Combination of Dnntp nnd Snvonnrolii , A close friend of Gcorgd Eliot's , writing of her personal appearance , enld : "Sho was not , ns the world In gen eral is aware , n handsome or wen a icrsonablo woman. Her face wan oiig ; the eyes not largd or beautiful n color they were , I think , of n gray- flh blue ; the hnlr , which she wore in qld fanhloninlbruldn , coming low down on cither Bide of her face , of a rather bt brown. , It was .streaked with gray when last I saw her. Her flgMVQ was of middle height , Inrgp boned nnd lowcrftll. Lewes often snld timt she nhcrltcd from her pennant ancestors a frame and constitution originally very robust. Her head was finely formed , with a noble nnd well bal anced arch from brow to crown. The Ips nnd mouth possessed n power of nllnltcly vnrled expression. "Qcorgo Lewes once said to me , wjion I made some observation , to the effect that she hnd n sweet face ( I meant that the face pxpresscd great swccfncRs ) : 'You might say what n sweet hundred faces ! I look at her sometimes in amazement Her coun tenance is constantly changing. ' "Tho said lips and mouth were dis tinctly BonsuouH in form nnd fullness. She hns been compared to the portraits of Savonarola ( who was frightful ) nnd of Dante ( who , thougl stern nnd bitter looking , wns handsome ) . Something there wns of both fnccs In George Eliot's physiognomy. "Lewes told us In her presence of the exclamation uttered suddenly by some oio to whom she w.ns pointed out at a place of public entertainment , 'That,1 said a bystander , 'is George Kllot' The gentleman to' whom' she was thus lnd > cnted gave one swift , searching look and exclaimed , sotto voce , 'Dante's auntl' Lewes thought this happy , nud he recognized , the kind qf likeness that wns mennt to , the , great , singer of tlje Divine Comedy , fjluj herself playfuljy disclaimed any resemblance to.Savonn . - rola. But , although such.resemb.lanpe was very distant Savonarola's pecul iarly unbalanced countenance being' a strong caricature of hers some like ness there was. " DAIRY NOTES. Clover Is better than timothy for cows. i Regularity in feeding and milking is Important To get nil of the butter the cream must bo uniformly ripened. In milking squeeze the teats Just hard enough to get the milk. Cows that nre good producers Of rich milk must be gOoil consumers. In order to secure rich milk start with n rich cow and feed her rich foods. In small quantities cottonseed meal is n good feed , but In excess It In jures the butter. Kicking a cow that Is lying down mny make her get up more quickly , but It will not Induce her to give any more milk. If rock salt Is kept in the ynrd where the cows cnn lick it every day , there Is no danger that they will get too much nt once. One of the most Important condi tions of churning Is the temperature of the cream. No guess should be allowed , but a good thermometer used. Jndare Dnvln' Wit.

One of tlio most peculiar features about manufactured slk ) is the rusUlng Bound familiar to every woman' . In the silk trade they cull it.thp "cry" or Bpmctlmcs tho""scroop. . " Of all textiles silk Is the only material which pos sesses it. As everybody knows ) the sound Is heard especially when silk IB subjected to friction. What Is not so generally known Is that the quality Is found in silk yarn before It Is woven. A skein of silk , unless it has been so treated as to kill this property in it , will when opened up emit the nolsb slightly. When the skein is squeezed in the hand , the sound becomes qulto audible. The "cry" Is considered n very deslr- nblc qunllty in silk. Dyers try to de velop It as much ns possible. Unexpected Applanac.
