THE BRAVERY OF BANK1E.
Written for the RECORD by
"Coasin Mae"

Out in 0ur aeighboping terri
tory of Oklahoma on a rolling
prairie was the home Of the Hurst
children-John, Nellie, OFpha,
"the twins" and "the baby" as
they were respectively called.
Mr.. Hurst their father, had come
to the new territory on its open
ing for settlement. He secured
a "claim" and made improv-
ments on it but just as he had
finished building their little home
he died, leaving Mrs. Hurst with
little to provide for her six chill
dren.
However she was of a thrifty
turn and their "claim" was a
good one, so they were soon
thriving in a small way. One
day in November it was neces-
sary for Mrs. Hurst to 60 to the
nearest town ten miles away for
supplies.
1t was a lowering morning.
The clouds had settled into that
dull apathetic gray betokening
general rain. Mrs. Hurst cast a
woeful glance at the sky. 81
wish l didn't have to 60 today
she said. 81 think its going to
rain, but we're most out of coal
oil and some other things, besides
the butter and eggs must be
taken while they're fresh. |
want to get there and back be-
fore the river rises" Turning to
her tsp-year,old daughter, she
said: "Nellie you must be a
little woman and tend to the
children good while mothers
away" "I'll try to mama,"
replied Nellie assuming grave
responsibilities.
"And if have a nickle left"
continued Mrs. Hurst, "you shall
zach one have d stick of candy"
prospect which reconciled the
little Hupsts to their mothers abb
sence and set their small legs
capering over the floor. AS Mrs.
Hurst turned to bid the children
good bye her mind seemed bur-
denod with anxiety,
~ wish 1 had a dog to leave
with you," she said "that is
good dog" eyeing q black and
tan terrier which lay upon the
floor.
"Bankie is such a good for
nothing" said John, twelve years
old, and the eldest Of tho chill
dren, who stood mittened and
wrapped ready to accompany mis-
mother,
Nellie silently resented these
imputations cast on her favorite
pet by seating herself upon the
floor and taking his head upon
her lap.
The dog Bankie, or properly
Casa blanca, for he had been
.origanilly named, somewhat in
appropriately, for the brave
sailor boy, walled up his eyes at
his young mistress and raped
the floor with his tail seeming to
express humility and gratitude
"I'll declare its beginning TO
mizzle, exclaimed Mrs. Hurst as
they drove along, "rm afraid it
will storm before We get back"
Maybe not" replied Master
John with ready optimism, which
however, failed to cheer his
mother. She looked backward
towards their little prairie home,
now far out Of sight, with anxi-
.ety for the detenseless ones there
With o feryent heart she besought
the divine protection Of God for
her little ones. Meanwhile Nellie
following her mothers instruct
ions, prepared the children's

sumac near by. The children
ran with rapturous glec through
the prairie grass, still a lovely
pistachio-green i n protected
places, and returned with their
arms laded even to "the baby"
who trudged along under the i'm
preston that he was carrying a
"big load" These sprouts, they
broke into bits to burn with the
hard twisted knots of prairie
grass which they used for fuel.
The short gloomy day soon
closed in to night and the "miz
zle," as Mrs. Hurst called it,
grew white and chill. Their
mother and John not arriving at
the appointed time caused some
disappointment among the chill
dren, but Nellie gave them their
suppers and put them to bed.
After this she sat down in a
long watch by the fire. Childish
fears and anxiety for her mother
and brother filled her mind. She
bravely tried to drive away her
uneasiness and lonliness by
thinking of the promised stick of
candy. Occasionally she glanced
at the window, but was afraid to
90 and look out. There was an
awful whiteness outside which
seemed unearthly to her. The
mist tbickened by a white fog
from the river seemed to cut off
the rest of the world. The rested
moon shed a pallid light which to
Nellie's lonely heart made famil-
liar objects look ghostly.
1t was we'll for Nellie that she
did not 60 and look out. Had
she done so and seen that wild
wolf.eyed creature crouching
under the window she would have
been terrorized. This unkept
tramp had peered through the
window and knew the children's
unprotected condition. He look
ed brutal, he was cold and hun
cry yet he made no movement
towards breaking in. He saw a
revolver on the mantle, yet he
rightly OWNED there was no one
at home who could use it. Still
he hesitated as if restrained by
some unseen power. Certainly
it was not because he feared
Bankie, whose sharp butplayful-
sounding bark he heard out on
the back porch, that caused the
tramp to hesitate for the moment.
81 wonder what Bankie's max
in such a racket about; its the
cat he's after, | guess" mused
Nellie by the fire.
Meanwhile Mrs. Hurst and
John were in sore straits out on
the prairie, They were lost in
the fog. They had been de-
tanned in town by a sick horse.
A friend had loaned them his
horse and offered to keep theirs
and doctor it," But this horse
would not work with the one be-
longing to Mrs. Hurst, so this
friend turned his team over to
them saying he would bring
theirs to them on the morrow.
So it came about that the new
team did not know the way, and
driving was difficult through the
thick mist and fog. They had
been detained too, in crossing the
rising river, having to wait for a
boat, and darkness had set in.
The misty fog, which John said
was thick enough to cut with a
knife, enclosed them like a wall
on all sides. Only that part OF
the road which lay under the
horses feet was visible. So it
was not long ere they both real.
lied that they might be driving
in the opposite direction from

accumulated fortunes shows that to win
the first 81 900 is more difficult than to
gain the next $4,000, and any reputable
means that will enable the citizen to
secure the initial 81 900 is direct step
toward the prosperity Of the nation. The
fact that postal savings banks supply
that desideratum is the main argument
in favor Of their being established, and
it is a sufficient one, even in the absence
of any other. No one will deny the great
