u ms entrance into the Barnett
~ home cut her off from all con-
tact with life distinctly west
a d ern. She found herself still
amid the velvet and silver Of the parlor
car and saw only remotely those who
slept all night in the cramped corners
of the ordinary coaches. Her cousins
were not native; they were, indeed,
only translated Philadelphians who had
gone west in search Of health-at least
Mrs. Barnett was there for that rea-
son. Her husband made the change
for love of his wife.
A certain percentage OF the towns
people and the members of the special
circle in which the Barnetts moved
were health seekers, and Ann was
deeply relieved to find that all the COM
forts of an eastern home We're to be
enjoyed in the big graystone houses
on Rampant avenue. Indeed, the Bar
netts lived quite as they would have
done IN Seabright or Lenox. They had
a dozen horses, a suitable assortment
Of vehicles, saddles and brides and
were enthusiasts concerning polo and
golf. Their neighbors and friends were
unfaiIingly ecstatic in praise of the CHI
mate and the views and seemed llloS-
ically anxious to placate the prejudices
of this naughty. pale faced, scarlet
Tipped. young girl. who looked with
calm eyes upon the great peak gloom
ing tc, the westward. They formed, IN
fact, a colony of alien health seekers,
busted with pleasures, set distinctly
apart from the toilers and the traders
Of the. place.
Ann was puzzled and bit bored by
their insistence on winning her adml-
ration of the mountains and, being nat
urally perverse, Withheld the express
sions of pleasure she might otherwise
have uttered, for she was profoundly
moved by what she saw.

, her father, and when the doctor Ser1-
o,,slv advised the Rocky mountains she
readily gave up her own plans, and
here and now she sat. rushing toward
the west to a town repulSive to her, a
place Of emptiness and WEAKNESS, so
ciai desert, where no one lived but her
cousins, the Barnetts, to whose hos
pitable door they were bound as voy-
ayers on a wide sea to snug harbor.
Without that home SIS a point OF ar
rival Ann Rupert would have been IN
such uncertainty Of mind as besets
sailor on chartless sea.
She was making this abhorrent trip
in order that her brother might thrive
in his physical well being as we'll as in
his art. He had recently determined
on being an illustrator of wild animal
books. "I'm going to study them at
first hand he repeated often, ''the
way MeIborn Foster has done. And,
besides, want to illustrate fathers
journal" This journal, the record Of
trip into the west made by Philip Ru-
pert before his marriage, had come to
be the most powerful influence ln the
lads life. It was worn little red
book in which the father had written
the daily happenings and impressions
of his trip, and it's discovery by Louis
in a box of old papers had quite trans
formed his life. It had made him an
American, filing him with a longing
for the "Hesperian mountains" as
the father called the romantic land he
had seen but once, but whose sp1endor
lived with him throughout the remain
der of his short life.
AS they sat at the table in the dining
car Ann again listened indulgently to
her brothers plans, and permitted MIN
to order the dinner and assume all the
manners Of a grown man, honestly try
ing to conceal her own WEAKNESS OF
spirit, sincerely regretful Of her bitter
words on the ferry.
Louis was not weary. He eyed every
man who came in, avid to- discover
some western trait, some outward sign
Of inward difference between himself
and his companions, but could not.
They were all quite commonplace busi-
ness men, we'll dressed, close clipped
and urbane Of manner. Some OF them
were evidently saleSmen going over TO
Philadelphia or out to Chicago, and
they all ate long and with every evil
dence Of enjoyment. Some Of the wo-
men were young aid pretty-students
returning to the west for their summer
vacations.
Once more in the privacy Of her state
room and looking out at the landscape
reeling past. Ann sank back in her seat
wholly dismayeds '"What in the world
can do out there" she asked herself
most poignantly. "Of course they don't
play golf or tennis, and I can't ride,
and, besides, whom could play with?
Jeanette is not bit athletic And
again the small round Of her interests
she had no gayeties-was borne IN
upon her. "I shall die Of inactivity"
Louis excused himself quite formally
and went back into the smoking COM
partment to sit with the men, While

Of her position. With a dozen most de-
sirable invitations to distinguished Lon

more keenly discerning, began to dis

LOUIS did not return to the Pullman
till af:er the train had left the city, and

shouted in her ear. They're all up in

AS that day and the next wore on the
boy began to burn with a new phase of
his fever. He commenced to count the
hours till he might be able to discern
Mogalyon, the great peak Of the Ram
part range, whose fame is worldwide.
Ann experienced her first decided flush
Of interest as the swinging, reeling
rush of the train brought the great
peak into view, a dim, blue dome
against the western sky.
At last, just as the red was paling
out Of the sky, the train swung to the
left on its southerly course, and the
whole Rampant range began to stretch
and wind away to northward and south
ward, while between the plain and the
foothills rolled a tawny sea Of sod,
deeply marked with ravines and dot
ted with pine clad buttes. The range
grew DINNER as they gazed, and at last
even Louis was content to sink back
in his seat and wait.
"'It isn't bit as I expected it to be-"
he said, 'but it is glorious. That pur-
pie green was wonderful I'm going to
try to, get that some time. It isn't as
precilitous as the Alps, but it's superb
just the same, and just think how much
wilde: it was when father came here"
'I'nl glad you were not disappointed,
boy" she replied, laying her hand on
his shoulder and caressing his cheek,
"but you need rest. You're seeing too
much"
The train was now winding down to-
ward Valley Springs, and only the
splendid sky line Of the range could be
distin guished as the lights Of the town
began to sparkle out Of the obscure
murk.
The porter, with brush in hand, came
down the aisle. 'This is Valley Springs,

her cousin embraced the big man

4 BIT OF SECRETARY SHAWs

Leslie NJ Shaw. secretary of the treasury. is quoted in ''The World To- Day, for January. by F. G. Moorhead. as follows:
 When I first began. teaching school they gave me the toughest schUol in the neighborhood. Some of the boys were bigger than I was and they boasted oi having made life miserable for all my predecessors. They began with me the very first day; when I called on one of the big boys to spell bucket. he spelled 'p-a-i-P and giggled. This started the rest Of the room gig gling, too. I saw I'd have my hands full in a minute. l had to do some thing. l waited for the giggling to stop. than ! caught that boys eyes and we began staring at each other. l don't know how long we kept it up. but l know the whole room was watching us in silence. I didn't say word until. pretty soon. the boy blinked and drop ped his gaze on'the floor. 'Now( then. l remarked, you spell bucket But there was still some fight in him and he tried ho raise his eyes to me. He got them as high as the top of my desk and there they stuck. Spell bucket. said l more sternly. He made one more attempt, but his eyes slid down to the top of my desk. Bucket I shouted in my deepest voice. 'B-u-c-k- ct he said meekly. and went on looking at the top of my desk. I didn't have any more trouble with that school"
 "But what did the top of the desi. have to do with it?" the secretary was asked.
 "H'm, well, you see, I had a three quarter inch hickory stick there 70 help my eyes out" he replied, chuck ling. and it was not until he had had his laugh out that he added:
 'But the experience taught me to use my eyes. no matter what I'm doing or whom I'm taking to. You can wiz cut better that way"

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED.

Deaf ness is caused by an inflamed condition or the mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is infiamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t Is entirely closed. Deafness is the result. and unless the in- fiammatiOn can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition. hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh. which is nothing but an infiamed condi- ton of the mucous surfaces
