The event Of the season was over in
the little Texas village OF Cypress
Bayou. All the San Jacinto hey coun-
try had furnished the dancers. and
among them had come Henry Mitchell,
just home after seven years absence in
remote Alaska. Success was written
in his face. and success meant wealth
with the Mitcheils. hence the people

would be true 20 his b%ay-country
sweetheart OF seven years ago. for Car
oline Wells was poor.
The man, however. did not reveal
his feelings. He danced and talked
with other old friends as with Caroline
Wells. But in her face. and not in
the others, there might have been seen
a faint glow as of hope. The rekin-
died light Of a forgotten ;ove still
shone in her eyes the second day later
as she stood upon the shore OF the San
Jacinto. contemplating the ieaden
waste Of water in the late afternoon.
An east vino blew and the girls wayy
brown hair vas strewn out upon II, or
swept down IN a bunch OF curls to hide
the red that the wind WAS painting
over the tan OF her cheeks. The
changing lights in her face were very
beautiful to look upon, like the varied
shadows that hurrying clouds some
times reflect in a restless sea. There
was coming into her eyes a look OF
anxiety as she regarded the river be-
fore her.
As from habit, she shaded her eyes
with her hand and looked out across
he stream to an island in which for
over fifty years that early pioneer and
gentleman and officer of the second
British war. Col. Smith, had chosen to
make his home. His wife had shared
the island home. Their house had
II c been all but carried away by one
Of the devastating river floods. Mrs.
Smith was now alone upon the island.
In the event OF a food she would be in
great danger.
AS Caroline Wells looked at the
heo'y' sNs, AIN thc Soli
ing waters. steadily creeping toward
her. she gave way to a SILVER of dread.
and turned toward her house, through
a field Of half-picked cotton. But a
look Of determination had settled into
her countenance. Shortly she returned
with a great storm coat, which she
flung into a long. low boat that lay
restlessly Juggling at Its chain. She
cast a sorry eye out to midstream,
where the strong wind had raised the
water into perilous ridges. But, know
ing that she was the only help for
Mrs. Smith within six miles. unless 1t
be from across the river. she reached
out to pull the boat toward her.
Carried away by the wind, it seemed
to resist her. but with some effort she
succeeded. and after a hurried glance
back at her home. she jumped into tho
boat. Before she thought it possible.
the wind had caught the boat and car
ried 1t far upstream. across the inner
bay. But Caroline was used to the
river, and, controlling the boat, she
strokes toward the point where she
could best Cross the mid-current for
Smith island. She made some prog
ress, but such was the force Of the
wind that after half an hour she had
only reached the point Of the peninsula
from which she intended to cross the
main current to the island. She had

UNLOADING IRON ORE SHIPS

The use of steam shovels at some

Superior region In loading cars at the
mines has long been an important ele-
ment in reducing the cost of our iron

manner years ago reached a degree OF
perfection that is almost incredible. A

the ground and loaded by one machine
in nine hours indicates what may be

In the Territorial Treasury Depart.
ment there would be a saving OF $780,
600 a year in salaries at least. The
work of the assessors would be turned
over to the municipalities. and this
would curtail the Treasurer's work so
that savings could be effected in other
directions.
The Department of Public Works
would, probably, cease to exist except
as regards the lighthouse Keepers,
who will, sooner or later. come under
the jurisdiction OF the Federal Govern.
ment Thus an expenditure of SEQ,
900 would pass from the Territory.
The Department of Pubic Instruc.
ton would pass out OF existence, thus
saving $4,000 annually IN Territorial
salaries; and the Commission of
Agriculture and Forestry will soon be

ment, thus cutting down $4,000 a
year more in salaries.
From the Board of Health bureau,

the Asylum for the Insane would re.

mainder of the salary appropriations,

over to the responsibility OF the coun.

The Territorial Government would
keep the band and, possibly an audit,

year could be saved in the latter.

OLD EGYPTIAN TOYS.

Within the last forty or Atty years
toy-making, as every middle-aged per.
son knows, has been revolutionlzed.
Gone are the simple delights Of past
generations; even the speaking deli
which was once a wonder sufficient to
attract all the neighbors, is now a
mere commonplace. The rich may pay
as much as several hundred dollars
for dolls for their children, and me.
chanical toys are built on so vast q
. style that the boys of millionaires,
should their fathers suddenly become
poor, might hang out signs and go into
trade with no other equipment than
that OF the toy shop. yet, after ALL
the marvels of the toy shops of today
are only old friends, grown elegant
and prosperous. A doll is a doll, and
a wagon is a wagon, even though doz
ems of dollars may separate them
from their ancestors of fifty years ago,
You may change toys, but children
remain the same. Pharaoh in a soft
moment, ordered for his little ones
just the same sort of toys that now
fill the shops.
Toys may come and toys may go,
but few stay on forever. A girl will
have her doll and boy will have his
weapons and his boats, while both cry
out for wagons and carriages and ami
mails. These are the staple toys, which
always have been and always will be.
until children are born grown up. Ex
