She looked him over and said, "Yes."

She did get up behind, and they rode

courtship had been, the marriage prov

thing, and no farmer in this county
should fail to take advantage of this

CHAPTER X

Three days more, and Melville was
pronounced well enough to travel, and
Langdon was alone. The first flush of
enthusiasm over, his exploits had died
out. The populace Of Brentwood had
settled down to Its usual routine, and
but for some scores of unemployed men
and gang Of troublesome tramps in
Testing the outskirts little was left in
the town itself to recall the excitement
and turmoil Of the days of the strike.
Over in the yard of the Seattle masons
and carpenters by the dozen We're bus
lily Mt work, nearly all of them local
craftsmen. The Ill wind that .whirled
the Seattle's thousands up in smoke
and flame was blowing modest hun
dreds into the pockets of Brentwood's
artisans and through them to the cot
fers of Brentwood's merchants. The
Big Horn might be the better managed
road in some respects, said Brentwood,
but the Seattle brings the money. Bar
clay's banquet had turned many q
head and not few hearts among the
municipal leaders, and Barclays dol
lars We're potent among the people.
The regulars had gone home over the
Seattle, the guardsmen had preceded
them over the Big Horn, and the roads
had returned to the guardianship Of
their own Waterman and Brentwood's
police. The sheriff had discharged his
extra deputies, and Eric Langdon, be-
ginning the world over again on mod
est salary, took counsel with himself
in the absence of other advisers and
planned his daily life. 1t had been
Channing's expectation that he should
take room near the yards and his
meals at the Brentwood, but Langdon
had decided on rigid economy. 1t
might be long months before he could
hope for promotion and better pay,
and 1t was his determination to save at
least half Of each months stipend to so
toward the payment Of his debts and
$40 more to form a fund on which he
could denend in the. event of ills or ac-

them to the crossing; but Langdon paid
little heed, for presently Ethel spoke.

glancing down, he saw that the swell

to Claiming to compel his subordinate

up cabal against him among the
Grays, but he had had two weeks

The Salt Lake Tribune publishes a
portion of the Spooner amendment to
the army bill alongside of an extract
from the Louisiana purchase bill to
show similarity of language. No
similarity of language can carry with
1t a similarity in any other respect in
these two national incidents. The
louisiana purchase was contiguous
territory, the Philippines are on the
opposite side of the globe. The
louisiana purchase took in two
million square miles of territory with
300, 600 uncivilized Indian inhab
itants, or about one painted savage to
every seven square miles. The
Philippines bold about 80 in
habitants to the square mile, or $50
persons in the Philippines to every
one person, on relative area, affected
by the Louisiana purchase. The Tri-
bune is also careful not to mention
that the Louisiana bill contained this
clause:
The inhabitants of the coded territory
shall be incorporated in the Union of the
United States, and admitted as soon as
possible, according to the principles of
tne Federal Constitution, TO the enjoy
ment OF all the rights, advantages and
States
This does not apply to people
with cities, churches and plantations,

repetition, to check it, and bring us
oacK TO those pure, unassuming and
admirable traits which are becoming
TO be looked upon as crude but which

and mummery of caste which marks
all classes but the peasantry of the
old world. The decadence seems to
