stock business never were better. Just now
the most serious question seems to be. where
to get the cattle Texas Is feeding all of the
young stock that at one time was the source
OF supply for depleted ranges of Montana.
Occasionally a few feeders are picked up in
New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah, but the de-
mand for feeders from the cotton states is felt
mere, so that prices are too high to make
range feeding profitable. Idaho and Washing
ton still furnish some young cattle for our
ranges but the supply Is limited. II the fu-
lure or our range cattle business depended
entirely upon the possibility of cattemen
stocking the ranges with cattle raised In other
states and shipped, then the prospects for the
business would not wear an alluring tinge Of
brightness. The fact Is that this feature of
the business has about passed out Of exist
ence. It was only the Texas supplies that ever
made 1t profitable and now that this source
OF supply Is at an end, our cattlemen must
necessarily turn their attention to breeding.
There is money in breeding in this country,

A welsh Romance.

Torn Sails by Allen Raine, author of
| ''Mifanwy," has the advantage somewhat
unusual in fiction, of a new scene of ac-
| ton. In modern literature there has been
| almost no fiction dealing with Welsh life,
| and yet there is no part of Great Britain
| more replete with interest from every
| point of view. The Welsh people are the
only representatives of the pure British
race in the world, and their character,
| their traditions and their land are full of
| fascination for the lover of romance. This
| tale of Welsh village therefore, may
| be taken up with the confident expecta-
| ton of finding something novel, whatever
may be the style of it.
The style proves to be simple and un-
| affected, and the plot also simple, and not
| especially new. One of the things which
| is noticeable in the book is the number
| of short English words which are used.
| Here and there is whole line or whole
| sentence of monosyllables, without a
| word of Latin derivation and this gives
| directness and simplicity of effect which
are somewhat uncommon. There are, of
| course, many Welsh words, and the lido
| syncrasies of Cymric spelling make it
certain that whatever the merits of a
Welsh story may be, it will not be gen.
orally read aloud in America. The pro-
nunciation of such words as "f anwylyd,"
=" 'nwncr and ''Mwntseison would be too
much for anyone but a linguist, to say
nothing of the fact that the heroines
| name is spelled "Gwladys." However,
| the quaint Welsh phrases, always explain
| ed either by the context or a footnote, do
| not obscure the meaning of the author,
| and they do add a peculiar charm of at
mosphere to the story, as do some of
| the idioms introduced here and there.
Perhaps, indeedr' used as the Welsh
| use it, There's glad 1 am" and Flor
wel' (farewelD could not be replaced by
| English equivalents without a certain
| loss.
| As to the story, it is the old plot of
| young wife, young lover and a husband
of middle age. The originality of the tale
lies in the way in which this plot is work
| ed out. The most strict of moralists
| could not call the motive of this story
anything but ennobling and pure. Hugh
| Morgan, the head man or "Mishteer'' of
the village and owner of the saimaking
factory, offers himself to the pretty
Gwladys Price. She, thinking that her
young lover, Ivor Parry, has forgotten
her, accepts the Mishteer, resolving to be
a good wife to him. and thinking that the
admiration and affection which she has
for him may in time ripen into love Both
she and Ivor discover the mistake, too
late, but there it ends, for both are loyal,
the one to her husband, the other to his
friend and master. The story of their
loyalty and their patience Is a pathetic
one, and the generous and high-minded
action of Hugh when, through an acci-
dent, he discover sthe real state of affairs
and resolves to make the best of it, wins

A Reminder.

Better have tender conscience for the record
Of your house
And your own share in the work which they
have done.
Though your private conscience aches
With your personal mistakes,
And you don't amount to very much alone,
Than to be yourself as spotess as a baby one year
old,
Your domestic habits wholly free from blame
When the company you stand with
Is thing to curse a land with
And your public life is undiluted shame
For the deeds men do together are what saves
the world today
BY our common public work we stand or fall
And your fraction of the sin
OF the Office you are in
Is the sin that's going to damn you, after all!

The Holy GrniI.

In the far days when wandering through the
world
Men sought that cup made Of one precious stone
Holding the blood Of Christ, knight unfurled
His banner far away from friends and home.
When from his door he passed sufferer cried
To him for help; absorbed in one grand aim
He needed not his cry, but all denied
Save 10 the purpose Of the higher claim.
He wandered TO the Holy Land and fought
In many wars, enduring much nor found
The prize. the precious cup long he sought,
I'LL all dismayed he sank upon the ground
And wept in deepest anguish praying long
For but one glimpse Of this great glorious King;
Innotleed was his cry, low sweet song
From some wild bird the only answering
To home returning he neared the door
sufferer cried for help. the very same
Who begged for aid from him 30 long before
a single drop Of water in His name,
For 10, perish with my thirst he pleaded still
The knight dismounted fastening TO bring
cup OF water from some cooling well
TO quench his thirst. for ne was perishing
And he held the sufferer in his arms,
Raising his head that he might drink again
And Gained his fears and silled his worst alarms
The cup went SPARKLING into one rich gem.
1t was the Holy Grail, flushed with the blood
OF Christ Himself within his hand ne held
Amazed, delighted long lie trembling stood,
Kissing the cup till then all unreyealed.
Like the poor knight, we. too may wander far,
ignore the sufferer by the nearer stile
FOrgetful undreamed energies shall be born
And gather force by nearer Use meanwhile.
Nelly ii. Moodworth, in the Boston Journal.
