that all Of her fine arguments, broad
views on the woman subject were sure
ly disappearing-melting away before
her fathers clear and convincing asser-
tions.
She recognized at once that she had
met defeat, and with all the bravery
she could command. the conversation
was turned to other things. In a
short time they would be home and en-
joy Thanksgiving day together.
Was it in truth necessary for me to
see Mckenzie at once about that brok-
en- fence, or was it only the crisp noun
tain air that tempted me from the
house hours before | was expected to
arrive at Jim McKenZie's? One thing
was certain, l could not wait another
moment, and in half an hour I was
speeding along and nearing his place.
AS I rode up l saw her standing on the
porch. She came quickly forward to
meet me. l blushed like a schoolboy
when I took her hand and looked into
her eyes. Yes, there was still the deep,
searching, truly baby look. I felt re-
lieved at once and thought, "It won't
be so very hard, after all; she could
not look like that and be really a New
Woman"
In a few moments I had forgotten
about the broken fence, and we went
together to see the beautiful brown
filly. I suggested that there was time
enough to try her before dinner, and
Ma y acquiesced at once. She had a
fancy to saddle the horse herself. I
never thought of interfering until she
came to tighten the girth; then I sim
ply said:
"You would better let me do that for
you"
"Never mind" she answered; "why
can't a woman use her hands and help
herself?"
Of course I was disconnected, and
saw at once that I was treading on dan
gerous ground, but I only laughed and
said:
"She can. She certainly has the
right, but why not allow a fellow the
privilege?"
Then, in a defiant tone, she re-
piled:
eve don't want privileges Or aid; we
only want what is just"
Sat your hands," I answered, II don't
ask for justice. at all; but I do yearn
for privileges"
She tossed her head in reply, and
stood ready to mount.
In a few moments we were off, scour-
ing the country, riding up the noun
tains and walking our horses slowly
down again. Near the base of the tim

carry them to n thicket In the jungle
and make for themselves comfortable
nest homes. Here whole families curl
up together like so many little pup
pies and sleep very snugly. As the
bushes grow up around the nest they
often come together overhead and
form a kind of natural shelter. but fur

they are far ahead of civilized man

Oil Wells in the Sea.

Out IN California they drive their
wells not only along the shore but
right into the surf. The sea is ire
mendous. The great rollers come
booming in over the beach and dash
themselves with fury against the skel-
eton structures, threatening to leave
them without a leg to stand On. But
the drivers OF these wells were men
of experience and knew what they
were about when they forced their
drills and pipes down into the salt sea
sands, and SO they go on with their
labors serenely, taking little notice Of
the blusterings Of old Neptune.
They tell a pretty story here about
the discovery of oil at the borders of
the sea, ascribing it to the predictions
of a fortune teller, but the old oil man
who showed me about the works said

his attention had been first attracted
by the seeping out of petroleum
through the sands. Now and then, he
admitted, his wells got filled up with
sand or sea water, but on the whole
this experiment of invading the sea
for petroleum had been quite success
full. The engines and the tanks, of
course, are we'll up on the bank out of

rope connections the pumps are kept
going, though working far out in the
turmoil OF the surf.

My chum, john Meredith, was going

home, and at times this longing pos

Meredith had been in ill health, but
ten years residence in the west had
made a new man of him. Success at
last had come our way, and he sudden
ly announced that he was going home
for his Thanksgiving dinner. He was
a quiet, queer fellow, any way you put
it; lately, however, he had seemed
wonderfully alert. The arrival of the
weekly mail found him in a state of
great expectation, and after he had
all evening looking very happy and
smiling as he read them over again.
He always was a non-committal chap,
but this time there was no mistaking
the signs, so 1 suspected his homesick-
ness, and judged his case, as one is
apt to do, by the light of my own. No
wonder, poor fellow, that he wanted to
wipe out the 1900 miles which alone
stood between him and that Thanks
giving turkey! For my own part, I can
swear that no power &c yet known to
man could keep me back from Jim Nc
Kenzie's Thanksgiving dinner, for
Mary was to be there-Mary whom all
these years I had remembered and low
ed so we'll. I had never forgotten her
beautiful deep, dark eyes, which SEEM
ed to search ones soul with that pene-
trating look one sees sometimes in a
baby's eyes.
There was but little out here in the
mountains to relieve the tedium of our
long evenings, so Jim McKenzie's week
ly visits were always heralded with
joy. We made merry over his coming,
and our carefully prepared dinner we
regarded as a feast. We talked it over
in the morning, and when evening came
we began to plan for next weeks COM
ing. No wonder Mckenzie was always
welcome. His mind was stored with
the thrilling adventures of early days
in the mountains. We never tired of
listening to the story of his own good
luck; how, way down heal the stream
on the side of the mountain, his quick
eve had detected the bits of shining
gold; how, day by day and all alone,
he followed up the little thread of gold
until he had discovered the secret of the
mountains heart, the generous yield
of ore which had made him the rich
est man in Golden Point" With touch
ing pathos he would tell us of the brave
hearted men no less worthy than him
self who had come out here to meet
only bitter disappointment and blasted
hopes. At rare intervals he would
speak to us of his own early trials, of
his dead wife, to whose loving care
and gentle sympathy he confidently and
proudly attributed his entire success
and all that was good in him. Then,
too, he always brought us news OF his
daughter Mary. At first her letters were
only outpourings of her homesick, low
ing heart; she vas born to live in the
mountains, and declared she must have
the freedom of the mountain bird. After
a while her letters breathed a more
coutented spirit. In an incredibly short
time the mountain bird had ceased to
7utter against the bars of her cage.
Her ouick and receptive mind soon
yielded to the guidance Of those about

men who actually make nests like the
birds. Yet such men actually exist

existence, a little figure rudely carved

Heartfelt thanksgiying!

Heartfelt thanksgiving!
Oh! let it rise
Like the mist of morn
Toward the azure skies,
Let the heart be glad
And the song be gay,
AS we welcome the joys
OF Thanksgiving Day.
How sweet is home
With its altar fires!
The meeting Of sons
With their happy sires!
The fair young wives
And their little flocks,
In brand-new coats
And Sunday frocks.
We gather around
The old-time board,
The blessing is asked,
The tea is poured.
And the children laugh
In their merry way,
When the turkey comes in
On Thanksgiving Day.
But what's this glee
To that which comes
With the smoking pudding
So full of plums?
And the rosy fruit
Without stint or lack,
And, last of all,
The nuts to crack?
What beautiful seasons
To him who roams,
Are these meetings rare
In the land of homes,
When the young and old,
The grave and gay,
Lift up their hearts
On Thanksgiving Day!

Loved THE SAME TYPEWRITER.
Two Stockton Youths Journey to a Roman
TIC Spot and Lombaste Each
her

STOCKTON. CAL, April 27.-Down to a
romantic spot on the bank of Stockton
channel below the Crown mill, where
Diablo looms in the distance and the sky
to the west is enough to make a poet
versify, and where, by the way, policemen
do not patrol down there went TWO
romantic young men last Friday night.
They were Joseph Moore, a tailor en-
ployed at the woolen- mills and Richard
Tumelty, a bridge builder. They walked
thither In sullen silence not because they
were en- rapport with the beauty of the
natural scenery but because they were
bent on shedding blood.
The gallan. young men bore the very
inimical relation of rivals, and each had
a score or more OF grievances that he was
determined to settle with the other in
that picturesque spot, where the blinking
old loon would be the only referee and
the little catfish the only spectators. Each
was resolved to lambaste the other until
he madly loved some other girl or hated
the sex so hard that he would die a
bachelor
A pretty little typewriter who cannot
help being charming ana who is equally
unable TO help captivating Joseph Moore
and Richard Tumelty was the fair prize
for which the gallant lovers stood up
against each other 10 be punched After
the fight both were so beautifully deco
rated that they looked like circus posters
in three colors, and the girl could not be
blamed now if she would lavish her affec-
tions upon third young man whose eyes
have not been artificially beautified and
who carries all his facial cuticle around
with him.
No spectators witnessed the battle, and
the declaration of each man that he was
not the loser must be taken for what it is
worth.
