''Kathie,'' asked Dick abruptly, as
they were walking up to the village,
do you know what county this town
is in?"
Why, yes; same as our town.
wny?"
He told her why, and she laughed
gleefully.
When they came to the gloomy old
mansion, surrounded by a circle of
evergreens, Dick hung back in the
shadows, while Kathie proceeded to
effect an entrance. After a vigorous
and continued ringing of the bell, an
upper window was opened, and a trem-
ulous tone demanded:
Who's there.''
Me. Kathie Darrell. Let me in,
Lucy
The window closed and in a moment
Kathie was inside the house, Dick still
waiting without. Kathie came out and
called to him.

the dimly-lighted hall, grandmother

week No one here but dear little
Lucy. the maid She is afraid in this
spooky old house, and will be glad to
take us in for a week.
There followed the happiest week OF
Kathies life-a week of imprisonment
with Dick Lucy served palatable lit
tie meals, and the old house rang with
peals of merriment from the happy
young runaways.

same thawing effect upon the bene-
ficfaries as might a touch of sunlight
upon the outside world. AS a facial
expression it was in many respects re-
markable, beginning at the corners of
the mouth, gradually taking in the
whole mouth in its progress, extending
to the shorn upper lip, and .len swift
ly enveloping the entire lower portion
of the face.
Several times the smile was repeat
ed, each time with the same revlvify
ing effect upon the recipients, as the
leader made his way to his appointed
place in front of the congregated
class. But it never quite reached nor
included the steel gray eyes which
possessed the extraordinary charac-
teristic of never blinking, so far as
could be casually observed
Smiling his sixth, or maybe his sew
enth, consecutive smile, the young
leader reached and ascended the
slightly elevated platform. Although
in doing so, he had has back to the
audience for a fraction of a minute
he conveyed a curious impression of
not having taken his eyes from the
assemb1age. Choosing an ample chair
of Titan plush the young man sat
n,
ceeded to survey the faces turned
toward him with their varying degrees
of age and experience. Simultaneous
ly with this movement, and sud-
denly as the genial expression had
appeared in his face on his entrance,
it was eclipsed as though by tran
STORY cloud of some impenetrable tex
ture.
Something about the silent, thought
full figure on the platform bespoke the
leader. His dominancy over the class
was never for moment weakened or
lost. Did any one present permit his
voice to touch an upper register or
his foot to fall with a disturbing echo,
the transgressor Immediately directed
an apologize glance toward the plat
form as though to excuse the derelic-
ton. Yet there was a homelike quail
ity in the atmosphere which even the
bleak and bare interior could not
quite dispel.
CHANGING at his watch and noting
that it was time to begin, young
Rockefeller arose and announced the
professional hymn. Everybody stood
up, and, led by a male quartet of ex-
ceptionally good voices recruited from
the class members, joined in the song.
guished by his manner of prolonging
the final notes after the other voices
were lowered or hushed-
With the conclusion of the process
siona1 he remained standing while the
class was seated. There was no sug
geStion of a smile now, as. locking his
hands behind him and squarely facing
his auditors while he swept them with
his eyes. he announced that the text
for the lesson would be the parable of
the hidden treasure.
Whether it was a coincidence or
whether the Rockefeller Bible class
has weakness for texts dealing with
strictly material subjects remained
unexplained. In a conversational tone
young Rockefeller added that the text
for the following week would be based
upon the parable of the pearl. On the
preceding Sunday. as he said, the par
ables of the mustard seed and the
leaven had been respectively under
consideration.

skies are being steadily unraveled up
on an outwardly deserted city.
Standing-had there been any sun
in the shadow of the modest Fifth
Avenue Baptist church spire in West
Forty-sixth street, just off the man
stoned avenue, an observer might have
counted some hundred and fifty excep-

might have noticed a modest coupe,
devoid of any crest or family insignia,
just as the river was minus a cock
aoe and livery, draw up at the church
entrance and deposit young man and
a young woman upon the pavement.
Stepping first from the vehicle and
raising his umbrella with such agility
as an experienced teller may some
times exhibit in handling specie, the
young man escorted his companion to
a small side entrance of the church
and with her disappeared into the
plain brick and stone edifice.
Had it not been raining, the couple

AS founder, patron and leader of
what has come to be known generally
as the Rockefeller Bible class, which.
incidentally, is of more numerical i'm

Cactus for Feed.

A man in Utah has accidental ly
discovered that wild cactus, which
grows upon the prairies Of the west
in great abundance, when chopped
up and boiled Is the equal of alfalfa
hay for fattening stock. Scarcity Of
feed for his stock caused this man to
try the boiling Of the seem ingly use
less weed and mixing 1t with grain
to feed the stock. At the time he
did not know whether the cattle
would live or die. In three months.
however, he marketed bunch of
the finest steers ever sold and they
were fed nothing but that mixture
during the entire three months.
Machines are now being manufactured
for chopping up the cacti, which lose
all their spines or prickers when the
juice Of the cactus itself exudes
upon them.

Surprised Him.

W. G. Packard was in Greeley Mon.
day on business, returning to Den
yer on that evenings train. He
confessed that he was astonished at
the growth Of Greeley and the sur
rounding country. He compared
land values in Pleasant valley as
they existed in the 7O's with the re.
cent sale Of the w. A. Hopkins ranch
for sls7.5O an acre and was inclined
to the belief That the Greeley belt
was the richest farming district In
the Union. AS Mr.. Packard has
been engaged In the real estate bus
iness here and in Denver for years he
Is competent witness In the matter
OF farm and city values.
But the past four years he has
been dealing In bonds, municipal and
other corporate securities, and he
says that eastern bonds find ready
market In Colorado. He has no
trouble at any time and especially
during the past three months IN dis
posing Of such paper-a matter that
must be gratifying to Coloradoans
generally, for it was only a few years
ago when the state looked to the
east for financial assistance. But
mining and water stock goes a-beg-
ging among investors. They are
shy, looking upon such securities as
snare. In the matter Of mining
stocks there Is no wonder at such
feeling, as some of the most ras-
cally transactions in the state have
reen Of that order. Rut II is difficult
to understand why the investor is
afraid OF water stocks. In this COM
munity established ditch and reser-
voir bonds are considered zilt-edged
securities by bankers and investment
companies and look at the increased
market values OF old ditch and reser-
voir stocks the past dive and ten
years, jnstities this feenhg. When
land and ditch stocks jump from 80
to $50 per cent in value during those
years 1t goes without saying that the
security in such investments is ample.
