opened it and looked out, shrinking
back against the wall in a convulsed
and grateful heap as he shut it again.
81 guess there's nothing out there but
the wind" said he.
That's ALL" she assented eagerly
"Nothin but the wind"
She beat her old hands together as
she listened to the wind shrieking and
bowling now with demoniac fury. Its
shrieks and howls were music in her
ears.
For once it had befriended her.
The men paid no attention to her. 1t
was quite evident that she was foolish,
as some one had said. Unsuccessful inl
their search, they grouped themselves,
together in the center Of the room, won-

"Ede Is not here. That is one thing GER
tain. We are wasting our time here
looking for him."
They opened the door and filed out.
The wind, rushing in, famed the can
die to a flicker. The old woman shut
and locked it after them, stood in the
middle of the room a moment waiting,
then made her~way stealthily out the
back door toward the cellar.
She listened until the horses hoofs
had died away, then she flung wide the
cellar door.
Jamie" she cried, 'come out!
They're gone! They're goneP
There was no response. She peered
in. It was too dark to discern anything
there without the aid Of light.
She returned to the hut and, finding
match went back into the cellar. She
scratched the match on the stone wall.
The light illumined her eager face and
her dim, narrow, hungry eyes. 1t also
illumined the rude interior
1t was empty.
The match dropped from her nerve
less fingers to the floor. 1t f1ickered
there for moment, then went out.
She crept feebly up the steps and
stood outside, at the mercy of the wind.
Sweeping across the wide belt of the
purple prairie, 1t made merry with her.

Blackmore knew thoroughly the re-
gion Of which he wrote, and when he
speaks Of locality he gives it its true
name and nearly always describes it
exactly as it is. There is BIundeIPs
school at Tiverton, for instance, which
the boy John Ridd is attending in the
first chapter. You find its gray stone
walls and near the Lowman stream
there today, giving perfectly the i'm
preston Of the story.
The school building sits far back in
an open grassy yard which is entered
by heavy barred iron gate, the very
gate where John and his mates stood
watching for the passing Of the troop
ers when one of the lads, accidentally
or otherwise, struck John every sadly
in the stomach part" and thus led to
the fight on the ironing box" This
ironing box" is a triangle of turf
where two paths meet at the far end
Of the green near the school building.

years unchanged, and were it not that

From far away across the prairie the
wind came soughing: 1t moaned and
moaned 1t rushed nearer. Its moan
grew louder 1t developed into a shrek.
1t shook the unsheltered hut. 1t
wrenched the shutters apart and flung
them to again. Then it died away in
an unceasing moan.
The man turned Iivid. He dropped
his knife and fork and sprang to his
feet

wrenching himself loose from her hold,
he disappeared into the darkness.

Impatient fists pounded upon the

AS we jog along or walk by turns we

ing up at Alfred Jingle's lodgings, say
a grateful word of Mr. Pickwick, says
Kate Douglas Wiggin in Tie Atlantic.
We tell each other that much of what
we know Of London and England when
we come to it seems to have been
learned from Dickens.
Deny him the right to sit among the
elect if you will, talk of his tendency to
farce and caricature, call his humor
low comedy and his pathos bathos,
though you shall say none of these
things in my presence unchallenged,
but the fact remains that every child,
in America at least, knows more Of
England-its almshouses, debtors pris-
Ons and law courts, its villages and vii
layers, its beadles and cheap Jacks and
hostlers and coachmen and boots, it's
streets and lanes, its lodgings and inns
and landladies and roast beef and plum
pudding, its ways, manners and Gus
tOms-knows more of these things and
a thousand others from Dickens nov
els than from all the histories, geogra
phies, biographies and essays in the
language.
Where is there another novelist wht
has so peopled a great city with hi,
imaginary characters that there il
hardly room for the living population

Idaho, "a 395. There is no doubt that
each State will show a substantial in.
crease by the census of this year, and
that Delaware's increase will be on par
with that shown by Idaho. The fact that
with such difference in the total Topu-
lation Idaho should show voting popu-
lation equal to that of Delaware is doubt
less due TO the fact that the women have
right to vote in Idaho, and largely
avail themselves of it.
However, we believe that we have dis
proved the assertion of the Morning
News that the voting population of Della
ware is about 1000 less than that OF
Idaho, and made it reasonable to pre-
sumo that the figures OF the two States in
this respect will be about equal, even
with the women voting in our sage brush
