disconnected seeker. con one condi-

"You forgot that his capture is the

'T forgot; we are all wrongv' Sibyl
declared, as piggy, by swift and un-

home. "Can't you whisper to him
that we want him to to to Ashland?
He'll be sure to take the road to

Of the last few minutes, an inquiring
snout was pushed through tangle of

at the conspirators, then a fat, white
body emerged boldly in the open road,

''Stand still,' counselled Hurst, eau

breath. At the foot of the bank, he
paused, turning upon the pair a bale
full glance. A fragment of egg fell
softly on the slope and piggy numbered
up. He spied white egg inside the
hated crate. What was freedom to
craving stomach? With a squeal of
joy he bolted into captivity, and the
door clapped to behind him.
Sibyl breathed sigh of relief.
''How can thank you enough?' she
cried, looking gratefully up at the

masses of FURNISHED bronze to their

she crushed the white hat down over

merrily along to the Tilt OF tune
that Sibyl recognized with dismay.
She has heard a college glee club sing
it and, to make remembrance certain,
the whistler broke into song:
"A bridegroom proud lis riding

Shy Jove!'
There was an instant of startled 81
lence, then a concerned face bent to-
ward the captive Sibyl 'T beg your
pardon; is anything wrong? Can I
be of any assistance?"
Sibyl turned her scarlet face an inch
and looked up, with resentful sus-
picion, at the stranger-but was he a
stranger? Years ago, she had known
those bright eyes, eyes denoting ca
pacity for humorous enjoyment, but
guiltless, now of a smile, being too
full of solicitude

matter, and I shall be glad of your

aspects of this undesired meeting
came upon her, and she broke into
contagious laughter ''Don't you see?

lightened him. "Oh, yes, III forgive

"Since you have been so kind, I

his wandering gaze became fixed at

she had finished her mournful tale,
the woodland rang with his merry
laughter.
"Won't you invite me to your boar
hunt?" he asked, persuasively. "YOu

than one to surround pig. I tried it
once, on my uncle's farm, when I was

lovely eyes, then smiled graciously

Well now for some more Truths.
Salt Lake has entered upon sea-
son of unwonted prosperity. Nothing,
outside of a miracle can stop it, Geo
graphically it is in the place to be the
big city between Chicago and the Pa
cific coast. Nature has favored it. 1t
is growing every day. New railroads
are coming, not railroads on paper,
but actual railroads with steel rails,
engines and cars. New business
blocks, residences and factories are
being built. The builders and con-
tractors are up to their necks in work.
The lumber trade is booming, so are
the brick manufacturing concerns.
The lumber people can't supply the
orders they have on hand. The lum-
Der business is big and a growing
trade. The mines are working to
their full capacity. There isn't an
idle man in the state, from compul-
sion, and very few voluntarily idle
people. The farmers are prosperous
