Conquest :. .. Great
American Desert



Frank w. Blackmar, professor of eco
nomics in the University of Kansas,
contributes to the North American Re-
view very interesting article in which
he recounts the history of THE Mas
terry of the Desert" For many years
the theory was universally accepted
that great American desert stretched
over bOundless wastes in the interior Of
the continent, and that vast regions
within the confines Of the United
States were not habitable by man. As
time went on, however, and through the
exploration OF the pioneers, the char
acter OF the country was gradually
made known, the dimensions OF the sup
posed desert steadily shrank from dec
ade to decade. Professor Blaekmar
shows how this process was reflected In
the books and maps relating to the
United States which were, published
from time to time He describes the
prosperous conditions which American
enterprise and energy have created In
4 section Of the country which was at
one time regarded as 4 second Sahara !:

complished already In this arid region

his mien in the eyes of some, and the
out-of-date bicycle he rides and the
manner in which he strides the steel
steed lends further appearance OF
stiffness to his personality. Garfield's
bicycle was probably built four or five
years ago, and he rides with the handle
bars high up and his back as vertical
as the Washington monument. He was
never known to "scorch," and probably
could not IL he wanted to, on account
of his position On the wheel.
The exercise that Mr.. Garfield likes
most is tennis. He can be found two or
three afternoons week hard at the
game either on the White House court or
Oh lawn In the northwestern part of
town. and those who have occasion to
try conclusions with him declare him
a first-class player. President Roose-
welt likes him either as partner. or an
opponent at tennis, and they often dis

CHAPTER XIX.


Had the keen-witted EastOn been asked
why he felt impelled to disburse ten
guineae for the benefit of the lessee OF the
Epic Theater, he would scarcely have
been able to make an Immediate reply. In
his rapid. airy fashion he had picked up
and pieced together certain little bits OF
evidence tending to prove that the young
people with whom he found himself on
somewhat sudden terms of intimacy were
exceedingly interesting.
Matthew Mark Easton was leisurely
surveying the half-empty house when
Miss Winter, Helen Grace and 0swin
were shown into the box by an ofhcial.
His quick glance detected a monetary
droop of Helen's eyelids. A laundering
man would have made some reference to
Tyar's lateness of arrival. Easton did
no such thing. He proceeded to draw for
ward chairs for the ladies, and did the
honors with certain calm ease which In
no way savored of familiarity.
Il should like" said Miss Winters, un-
tying the ribbon of jaunty little opera
cloak, "the darkest corner"
"Why?' asked Helen, almost sharply.
Because the piece is said to be very
touching, and invariably weep"
Sorry" said Easton; sorry it cannot
be done. But can lend you huge pair
Of opera glasses"
But urged Miss Winter, my tears
drop-audibly on the program
We want the dark corners for the men
the background" urged the American,
holding a chair invitingly. I'VE love the
shadow eh, Grace"
Speak for yourself" said the sailor.
bluntly, pulling forward a second chair
and seating himself Immediately behind
Miss Winter.
One great fault in Matthew Mark Eas-
ton was soft-heartedness. He was one OF
those mistaken men who hesitate to pun
ish a dog.
ut appears" continued Easton as Ty-
ars entered the box, shat the piece is
touching. We shall require your moral
support that calm exterior OF yours WILL
l surmise, assist us materially to keep a
serene countenance turned toward the
stalls"
Don't be personal" replied the En-
glishman. "You may rely upon me at the
pathetic parts. 1t is some years since
wept."
THE last time 1 did it, said the Amer
lean, thoughtfully, was when l got my
ears boxed because another fellow broke
a window
Helen and Miss Winter laughed. They
all felt that there was a hitch some
where. They were conversationally lame
and halt.
I'VE both told untruths about it, con-
tinued Easton, determined to work this
mine to its deepest. But mine failed,
while his succeeded. That was why /
wept. Mine was not an artistic lie,
admit but it might have got through with
little good luck. There is nothing so
humihating as an unsuccessful attempt to
pervert the truth. Have you not found
that 50, Miss Winter? But of course you
would not know. l apologize; am sor-
~. Of course you never tell them"
''Oh, yes" said the lady, candidly, II
do"
At this none the curtain was drawn
up, and Miss Winter broke off suddenly
in the midst of her confession, turning
toward the stage and settling herself COM
fortably to watch the play. In 50 doing
she unconsciously drew her chair little
further away from Helen, and thus left
her and Claud Tyars more distinctly
apart.

The McGowan party of ten excur- siouists from Warren, Pa., who haze been in Shagway for day or so left this morning to make the run down the Yukon to Dawson. All members of the party declare themselves delighted with the trip.
 Mr. McGowan, who is conducting the party, has been engaged in the busi- ness for some years. He says the western excursion business was prac- tically killed by the San Francisco dis aSter.
 He had. he says, IO3 persons listed, their money paid early in the season, looking to a summer vacation in the West. Most of these were women. Following the great earthquake he was at once flooded with letters beg ging of and asking the return of the fare.
 "Of course I was not required to make the refund" said Mr. McGowan, yes rerday, ''but I had no disposition to keep the coin without a return of value. I visited a number of these people eX- pecbing to explain away their fears,
