She wearied for him all the winter,
watched and waited. too. But if he
ever CHANGED to go by, the happy
chance of seeing him was not hers.
During the previous spring and sum-
mer, and even late into the autumn, it
had been different-once or twice in
every blessed week he had come to
gladden. the days, tt set them in jew
eled frames in her memory's gallery.
Or if he had not, strictly speaking,
come to her, she had yet seen him;
happened to see him; been permitted
by kind fate to speak with him.
Not that he failed entirely to seek
her out. There was denying the han
diness of the small riverside house,
where she lived with her widowed
mother, as place to drop into" for
tea or restful "chat"
The first time he had entered that
gate, humorously dripping object of
compassion out of an overturned sail
ing boat, the almond tree. against it
was pink with blossom, and he al
ways afterward associated her with
the fragile pink flowers, weaving
many a dainty compliment for her
out of the sweet resemblance which
poetic fancy helped him to keep
vividly before him-at least, when she
was bodily before him also.
By the time the almond tree was
thick with leaf, he had grown in in
timacy at the little riverside house to
the privileged point of inviting her
into his boat whenever, as sometimes
happened, he was bound to no special
destination.
She was so young, such child, such
an embodiment of April tears and
sunshine and all the intangible, mock
ing gaity of spring, to set against his
almost worldwide experience and his
ripening years.
So her influence on him was as
ephemeral as the flower of the almond
tree, delicately sweet while it lasted,
but to be overpowered by the next
succeeding interest, just as the al
mond blossoms are overpowered and
scattered by every wind that blows. A
delight of day, too unsubstantial to
weather the night.
But, if all her charm was INSULT
cient to help her, it served, working
mysteriously against itself, to help
him and also to help one near to her.
Through her very immaturity of
mind, her youthful perfection of body,
in some strange way he seemed after
time, to reach appreciation of the
woman who had brought her into the
world--a woman who, in spite of her
undoubted conversational powers,
guarded her personality with a jeal-
GUS armament of silence and reserve;
who seemed to shrink from any
friendship which gave a hint of curl
osity, or even Of interest pressed ever
so slightly home.
Yet, for all her care, put her sue
cessfully off her guardg there would
leap at rare moments into her cul-
tured manner, a manner that he knew,
the light-hearted gaiety her daughter
had inherited, completed, made salts
flying, made real, by all that life had
taught her.
He grew to longing for those depths
eagerly, passionately, that he might
gain rest in them, summed there by
her lighter manner, sustained by her
truth and steadfastness.
One whom he looked on as
child had led him, with chiid's sure
ness of touch within sight of the
worlds Greatest Good. He knew now
what his life had always lacked; he
faced his remedy. He was in love at

Under the caption, 1.-THE Union Pa

tory" the new Worlds Fair folder is
sued by the advertising department of
the Union Pacific, which has attracted
such general attention, recites these
interesting. facts:
while the construction of the
Union Pacific Railroad, its trials and
triumphs, are part of the history Of
the United States, the important part
played by this railroad in the develop
ment of the Louisiana Purchase can
hardly be estimated. In the building
up of this vast domain it has been one
of the chief factors.
One hundred years ago the popula-
ton of the region was estimated at
10000. Up to the inception of the
Union Pacific lin 1860 it had in
creased to S,2S3,529. In 1900 it num-
bered over 100000 of inhabitants.
In this wonderful growth, with its stu
pendous Increase in all the many-sided
phases of commercial, material and
intellectual prosl Gritty, the Union Pa
cific-as a glance at the map will
show-has had conspicuous share.

chase price. The same census reports
(l900) also show the total population
to be 1898, 255, of which S,303. O96 in
habitants are living In the states and
territories reached by the Union Pa
cific. On the 1900 census figures. it is
estimated that the true wealth of the

the butcher bird The butcher bird is
creature about the size of small
crow, and he lives on insects and
smaller birds.
At first the farmers who instituted
the barbed wire wondered how so
many grasshoppers, beetles, field mice
and small birds became impaled upon
the barbs of their fence wires. They
soon learned. for the butcher bird is
not o secretive creature. When grass.
hoppers and other bugs were plenti-
full, he gathered great stores and stuck
them on the barbs of the fences. When
hard times came, the barbed wire
fence was to him like a free lunch
counter.
4 Now in winter time, It is no rare
thing in parts of California to see the
butcher bird hopping along the fence
wires, continually picking his meals
as he skips from barb to barb

Sentenced 10 Industrial School

Willie Coles. fifteen years of age.
was brought before Judge Beardsley
last Monday on information filed by
District Attorney Gray, charging him
with incorrigibiity
The affidavit was sworn to by Joe
Coles, who, with Mrs. Coles, adopted
the boy some seven years ago. The
lad has shown evidences of depraved
parentage and although Mr. and Mrs.
Coles have been very kind to him and
furnished him good home, he has
persisted in his perverse conduct, the
climax being reached last week when
he threatened to shoot his mother and
made use of such violent and indecent
language as to make further liberation
impossible and his arrest followed.
Judge Beardsley sentenced Willie
under the delinquency act to the State
Industrial School for Boys until he
reaches his majority in 1910 unless pa
rolled by the board as reward for
good behavior.
