THE WEST AGAINST THE EAST.
Two months later q sectional war
was raging in the Bines home at Mon

met In confict-the old and the new,
the stale and the fresh. And, II the
bitterness was dissembled by the COM

less determined was either faction to
be relentless.
The sole non-eombatant was MrH.
Bines, the widow. A neutral was this
good woman, and a well-wisher to
each faction.

It had been all the same to Mrs.

Of 80 can remember. 1t was the lot
OF wives In her day and environment
early to learn the supreme wisdom OF
abolishing preferences. Riches and
poverty, ease and hardship, mountain
and plain, town and wilderness, they
followed in no ascertainable sequence,
and superiority Of indifference to
each was the only protection against
hurts from the unexpected.
This trained neutrality Of Mrs. Bines
served her finely now. She had no

WHALES SENSE OF HEARING
Judging from Actions of the Huge
Creature It Must Be Very
Acute.


1t seems perfectly evident that whales
must hear when in the water. This in.
ference is confirmed, says the London
Field, by the comparatively small de.
velopment Of the other sense organs.
The eye, for instance, is very small, AND
can be of little use even at the com.
paratively small depths to which
whales are now believed to descend.
Again, the sense of smell, judging
from the rudimentary conditions Of the
olfactory organs, must be in allegiance;
and whales have no sense organs com
parable to the lateral line system OF
fishes. Consequently, it would seem
that when below the surface Of the wa
ter they must depend chiefly upon the
sense of hearing. Probably the sense Is
so highly developed as to enable the
animals, in the midst Of the vibrations
made by the screw-like movements al
the tail, or flukes, to distinguish tba
sound Cor the vibrations) made by the
impact of water against rocks, even In =
dead calm, and, in the case of pisciV
orous species, to recognize by the pulse
liz the water the presence of a shoal OF
fish.
Failing this explanation, It Is difficult
to imagine how whales can find their
way about in the semi-darkness ana
avoid collisions with rocks. and rock

WHEN BERTHA MIKES BREAD.

When Bertha tucks her sleeves above
Her elbows plump and white,
And Sits the -four into the pan,
Because the sponge" is light;
And pours the mass into the flour,
While singing a merry song,
My heart uprises like that yeast,
It beats so fast and strong
Why, say! almost lose my head
When Bertha mixes bread
And when the little bits Of dough
Cling to her fingers soft,
And she flips the scraps into the flour,
Then holds her hands aloft
In mock despair, because the bread
Has tried to overrun
The pan, and reach the kneading board
Before its work is done
Why, say! My common sense Is fed
When Bertha mixes breadl
The sparkle in her eyes so blue,
The pink upon her cheek,
The curl that tumbies DER her brow,
AL urge my lips to speak
The wish that's hidden in my heart;
But when 1 try--the least
Pm squelched by Bertha's apt reply
I'm glad used this yeastp'
Oh, dearl The words that might be san
While Bertha mixes bread!
And when at last the rounded loaves
Are placed within the tins,
And Bertha, with critics eye,
Surveys the outs and ms
OF that raw bread, and pats It well,
And says it's nice; an, bliss!
In desperation born of love
I snatch from her q kiss!
Who blames me If lose my head

And so he loitered through the noun
tains, resting here, climbing there,
making always shrewd, close reading
of the rocks.
1t was thus Billy Brue found him at
the end Of his second days search. A
little off the trail, at the entrance to a
pocket of the canyon, he lowered erect
to peer down when he heard the noise
of the messengers ascent.
Billy Brue, riding up the trail, halted,
nodded, and was silent. The old man
returned his salutation as briefly.
These things by men who stay much
alone come to be managed with verbal
economy. They would talk presently,
but greetings were awkward.
Billy Brue took one foot from its
stirrup and turned In Ills saddle, pull
ing the leg up to restful position.
Then be spat, mU' hgly, and looked
back down the canyon aimlessIy,
throwing his ? rs from side to side
where the gr,A granite lodges showed
through tho tall spruce and pine trees.
But the old man knew he had been
sent for.
"Well, Billy Brue, what's doin'?"
Billy Brue squirmed in the saddle,
spat again, as with sudden resolve,
and said:
"Why-uh--Dan1 J.--he's dead"
The old man repeated the words,
dazedly.
''Dan1 J.-he's dead why, VINO else
Is dead, too?"
billy Brue's emphasis, cunningly con.
trlved by him TO avoid giving prom
inence to the word dead" had sug-
gested this inquiry In the first mo.

route. He was to follow up Paddle
creek to -Four Forks, thence over the
Bitter Root trail to Eden, on to Orc

andgone. He was to proceed slowly,
to be alert for signs along the way,
and to make inquiries Of all he met.

yond Eden. When he pulled out he

tomorrow, seeing you've got q good
horse and the trails been mended this
spring. Now you spread yourself out,
Billy, and when you get on TO the
Ridge make a special look all around
there"
Besides these directions and the tele-

Northern, is Frustrated with grief at the
shock OF his sudden death"
Billy Brue mastered this piece Of In

refrained from comment, beyond thank
ing God, in thought, that he could
mind his own business under excessive
provocation to do otherwise He con-
sidered it no meddling, however, to
remember that Mrs. Daniel ]. Bines,
widow of his late employer, could ap-
pear neither young nor beautiful to the
most sanguine Of newsgatherers; nor
to remember that he happened to know
she had not accompanied her husband

Thoughts That UpIift" ArtlstlcaIIy
Printed by Stenographer on Her
Machine During Odd Hours

BY Associated Press.
KALAMAZOO, Mich, April 21.-Miss
Charlotte Isabel Anderson, a pretty
stenographer, employed in the office of
a local manufacturing concern, has
just completed editing book which is
remarkable in many respects. It is en-
titled Thoughts That Uplift" The
book is printed entirely by typewriter
in two colors, red and black, on linen
paper, and is bound in a substantial
and artistic manner in red Russian
leather. Miss Anderson has done all
the work, except making the cover,
giving the greater part of her spare
time during the last year to it. 1t is
devoted entirely to quotations from the
greatest writers of every age, and
there is an authors birthday quotation
for every day in the year. The scheme
of printing is especially attractive, the
red letters having black underlines and
the black letters red underlines. Miss
Anderson has edited Flowers of
Thought" "Helps to Higher Living"
and Friendship" all in the same man
ner. None were ever sold, but are pre-
sented to friends.
