to England, won't we Fritz2'' turning to
her husband.

1--WE will cover about the same ground |

little later on we can go back and take in
France and Germany, with a little peek
into the Holy Land and Africa
''You know" resumed Mrs. Hinckley,
that five years ago Judge Coffey decided
| was Welsh, and it now becomes almost
duty to visit the land of my ancestors.
We will go through the British Isles by
the roadways and see all there is of inter
est. One can always get more satisfac-
ton by taking plenty of time and stop
ping wherever it suits. Haven't we
decided that such course would be the
best, FritZ?"
Hinckley, leaning back in his chair and
looking at his wife approvingly. II guess
we will be gone about year"
'Tut, tut" chimed in General Hart.
"How about that fight soon to come off in
Mexico? You know, my young friends,
that the heir must be on the grounds"
and the attorney resumed his investigation
of some law books.
"Oh, WE'LL" laughed the heir, ''the
general always has something necessary
to do or else we are held by the enemy. It
seems now as though there was nothing
left but to cut our trip short and then go
over again next year"
"Why not wait and do it all at once2"
inquired General Hart, without looking
up from his books.
''That would never do in the world. I
am creature OF impulses and it is hard to
tell just what will come into my head
next. Isn't that sos Fritz?"
Eyes, you are little cratic at times,'
replied the young husband, twirling his
watch charm and smiling softly to him
self.
Certainly 1 am. Didn't I suddenly
take fancy to your"
This time the general looked up from
his law and laughed merry laugh, while
Fritz gathered up the loose ends of his
conversation and replied that the first i'm
pulse was generally the best
Have you settled upon doing anything
in particular since the weight of the case
has been removed?" was asked.
Eyes, l have, One thing above all
others. 1t has always been my desire to
be OF some service in the world, and lust

OF charity. The world is full of deserving
cases and it is the duty of everybody to
what the limit of ones charity is and
where it will be distributed is not always
wise thing to discuss, but it is sufficient
satisfaction for me to know that l will do
all can, both to satisfy myself and those
who deserve it.
There is another thing l propose to do
and that is to build nice home some
where out OF the city, where we will be
away from the turmoil and noise. That
home, you can rest assured, will be in Cali
fornia. l know If | ever went away from
here that would have the most insatiate
longing to get back, and / would never be
contented anywhere else. 1t was the same
way with Fritz when he was in Europe
wasn't it, Fritz?'
well, to tell you the truth, dearie,
would have given up almost anything to
get a glimpse of California when l was
over on the other side. One can never un-
derstand the longing unless IL is part of
his actual experience. | was simply crazy
to roll into the green fields and through
the woods of this State on an overland
train"
''Good for you, Fritz. We will be true to
California. anyway" responded the
heiress with great deal of determination.
1--WE were welded in and to California, as
General Hart puts it, and believe it is
good place to use our fortune"
.When you are in Wales you will prob
ably resurrect the family coat of arms?"
''No. indeed. think it is the worst fad

What does the coat of arms amount to any

back to the-well, no matter. | have al
ways said l would never waste time talk

There is considerable satisfaction in being
contented while you are alive and we en-
Joy that feeling. There is something in
life besides drudgery, and all you have to
do is to convince yourself of it.
Now, for instance, we are going down
to the Algodones Rancho in Mexico in the |
fall and rough it for ABOUT month. We |
will take along guns, fishing tackle, bloom
ers and horses, together with all the neces-
sary camping utensils, and if there is any
amusement to be had, we will have it. |
