Jim Gallagher owned the largest sa-
loon and dance ball in Fort Simpson.
Anita's face flushed. then paled.
"Thank you. | will try it,"
Two days later she was installed as
governess in the noisy Gallagher house
hold. with the privilege Of going home
at night. She was to teach the girls
how to walk and talk and dress. Mrs.
Gallagher considered the last accom-
plIshment most important. She soon
became extravagantly fond OF Anita
and would have loaded her with pres
ents, but the girl proudly declined ey-
erything except her salary.
So the winter crept into the tender
outstretched arms Of spring, and Ami
tas bank account grew. She had
leased the horses 10 wood hauler,
and she had sewed nights. She was
too busy even to note the gradual
change in her father. He seemed con-
tent and quiet each evening when she
came home, and she little guessed
whose hand ministered to him during
the day.
The Gallaghers were departing for
the east. Anita was at the depot to
see them off. The girls no longer shut
fled when they walked, and they un-
derstood the use of knives and forks.
Mrs. Gallagher surveyed their neat
travelling frOcks with pardonable pride.
Then she slipped an envelope into AMI
.as hand.
"Sure, you've done wonders by me
gyurls. an it's that I've been tryin' TO
tell you i'm the letther."
When the train pulled out. Anita
opened the envelope. 1t contained no
word of writing, just crisp banknote
that fairly took her breath. And her
salary had been paid In full. Anita
walked home OH air. They would start
for La Junta on the morrow.
In the doorway stood Or. Byrne,
shading his eyes with his hand and
looking up at the everlasting hills. In
her happiness she would have brushed
by him, but he barred her passage.
'1s he sleepingY she inquired. Then
something I'm the doctors face caught
and held her attention.
What is it? Mono, not that" she
cried. "Oh, God, and l have worked
SO hard'
She swayed in the doorway, and DIR.
Byrne, taking her in his arms, led her
gently into the darkencd room. His
voice was low and comforting.

be good TO you? In your great sorrow

Without replying she crossed the
room. raised the sheet and looked long
and steadily into her fathers face. ON
II rested q smile of ineffable peace.
The money fell noiselessly TO the floor.
1t had been earned in vain. Then she
turned and looked into the brown eyes
bent pityingly upon her.
Harry" she murmured, "he does
not need it-or me, and-I-am so
tired" Her head dropped wearlly up
on his shoulder, and his arms folded
lovingly around her.

How did Columbus get the money TO

A little girl raised her hand, and the
teacher, noting the eager animated
face, said. Tell us. Ruth" And Ruth

Queen Isabella Of Spain hooked her

An idea of the importance of labor
 may be gained from the demonstra-
 tion in Chicago Labor day when 76,-
 BIO men were in line representing 94
 trades and 282 unions. This was for
 one city alone and can be multiplied
 many times when the entire country is considered. It is a vast army and constantly increasing. Foolish is he who imagines that labor is not worthy of recognition, and just as foolish is he who imagines that it's demands for recognition can be turned down. It is every day adding new strength, every day is becoming better organized and every day receiving more attention from employer. Of course there is an occasional Baer bobbing up, who dis graces the Almighty by claiming partnership, by attempting to throttle labor through wicked, lying as- sumption that would shame the devil, but, fortunately, these characters are few and every day are growing beauti- fully less. There are two sides to every question. Labor is entitled to just reward, but it may, undoubtedly is sometime exOrbitant in it's demands, fails to consider that capital, like its- self, is entitled to fair returns. On the other hand capital may, often does, attempt to crush labor, caring only that it's own coffers be filled. It will be glad day when some method is devised to avoid these clashes between the employer and employed, and that day is every day one day nearer-it will surely come.
