Donald Michener heard her
plainly speaking to her father;
VIII you tell Mr. Michener
that | do not care to see him, and that
do not care 10 have him call Oh me
aganl.
But, Christine" her father protested
d1ubtful'y, 4 can't carry message Ike
that unless the mans insulted yuu-and
thcn.' he ended grimly, \ should carry
more than a message"
As Nllehener appeared in the doorway
Nr. Laing started toward him. 1t was
iron, her father Christine got her tenn
per; but she stepped resolutely between
them. 'He isn't worth it, father" she
SAID, turning her back on Michener.
Michener was sorry. He walked out
OF the room in such cold rage, nur
der would not have abated il. When
the primal man is accused he would as
lief fight his host in his own house as
any one else. Rage and modification
81 flied his heart that he had no room
for grief. though he had lost the girl
; had tried long to win. And the in
lice OF it For it was unjust, the
measure Of punishment metcd out to him
The next day Christine went riding
humor. She vas angry with herself for
the way she had treated Donald Mich
eHer; She was more angry at him, be
cause Of the way she had treated him;
and she was most angry at kerningham
for daring to ride beside her in Mich
ener's place and to put in his SNUG re
marks when she was not in the humor
for SNUG remarks. In passing it may
be said that an unprejudiced person
would not have called kcrninghams re
marks any smugger than Micheners. In
led, they were probably the more SEN
s.b,e OF the two, at least when talking
10 Christine. Unfortunately, no preju-
diced person was judge, and Mr.. Kern
ugham's sentence was all ready to be
pronounced should a suitable occasion
arise. But no suitable occasion arose
Christine sulked; Christine was sa7cas-
tic: Christine was rude; kerningham
was inperturbably polite and good
natured.
Are you tired to-day2' Kerningilam
asked. after an unusually snappish speech
of the lady's.
Riding never makes me tired she
answered curtly.
1t might be the company" he ven
tured.
i tayen't been perfectly polite' How
dare you say that?'
Il thought perhaps the contrast be
tween your humble servant and your us
nal cavalier might have something to do
with it, he went on placidly
Il suppose you mean Mr.. Mchener. I
certainly am not longing for him. | hate
him" she blazed 81 shall never speak
To him again.
Indeed He is more fortunate than
had supposed"
1t was Kerningham's one reprisal of
the afternoon.
oh, I'm tired Of riding so slowly"
Christine cried.
Let us ride faster, then"
Almost at the frs, word Christine
thrust her spur into her horses side, and
at the last kerningham slapped his horse
with his crop to try to catch up with
her, 1t was not very dignihed, this tear

Michener smiled.
What are you laughing att" she asked
with some pique.
ITS an unusual way for lady to ad-
dress gentleman, isn't it"
The circumstances weren't usual
she answered. again looking down.
There was little pause in the general
conver ersation, and Christine turned to
Kerninghan on the other side.
Have you bought yourself swifter
horse yet, so that you can do heroics,
too'" she asked, trace of mockery in
her tone.
Miss I.aing has just been confiding
TO me- Michener put in, that she made
her horse run away on purpose. Doubt
less she'll give all her friends a chance
to get in the papers, one after the
other"
1T really was your chance yesterday,
Mr.. Kerningham," Christine said gaily.
Il don't know that you deserve an
other
do give me little one, some time
when I'm ready for it Donald snatched
that one quite unfairly" he pleaded.
You'll have to look out for him; he's
a regular bandersnatch. And now that
he's got into the papers, l expect he
won't do thing but roam around seek
ing what maidens he may devour-l
mean, rescue
As the hum of conversation rose again,
Christine, her head half turned toward
him, said to Michener-he sitting by her
with the feeling that she was always ridi-
culing him-"Shall l apologize for the
way spoke to you the other day.
Il wouldn't have you trouble yourself
so,' he answered, rather ungraciously
She flushed scarlet. Il beg your par
don! Next time you see my horse run
ming away you can let him go"
"Very we'll" Then, half smiling, he
added: "Unless l venture to persuade
myself that it is another invitation to
converse with YOU
I'm sorry l told you that" she said
detiantly. q thought imagined
she softened a little-"that you would
meet me half way"
He looked down into her eyes, forget
ting the others at the table, though in
stinctively speaking so that she alone
could hear Don't you think you de-
serve to come a little more than half
way?'
Shall | come all the way?" The cor
ner of her lips went up into smile.
Michener smiled, too, without an
swering
Suddenly Christine rose to her feet,
her guests looking up in surprise. La
dies and gentlemen" she began formally,
you know you were asked here tonight
to meet hero whose courage is ex-
ceeded only by his modesty"
Again the mocking note in her voice
made Michener's checks burn with re-
sentiment
After slight oratorical pause she con-
tinued: you have all read the details
of his noble act in the paper, and you
may appreciate them the more by learn

War talk is coming up again over the Japanese situation. Most of it comes from abroad where foreign powers profess to think that the
 United States stands in very serious position with Japan. Secretary
 Metcalf, who has come back from the Pacific coast has made private report to the president on the San Francisco school situation, and while he is not saying very much for publiction, it is believed that he takes the situation very much to heart. His investigation in San Francisco showed very exclusively that it will be impossible for the federal government to force any measure on the people of the coast which they are not willing to &C., cept. lie has told the president this much frankly and he has pointed out moreover, that it would not take much federal interference to shove the state out of the Republican column. Politically speaking there fore, federal infererence will be arather ticklish proposition. It is impossible to imagine Japan go- ing to war over anything so trivial as the exclusion of her children from the white schools. This is not the sort of provocation out of which wars are made. Further, Japan has had recent and thorough experience of just what a war means, and while her showing against Rus sia was undoubtedly surprising and put her in line as a first-class power. it is not thought that she would want pull on another fight while her material and financial resources were still so seriously strained.

A town that never has anything to do in public way is on the way to the cemetery. Any citizen who will do nothing for his own town is helping to dig the grave. A man who curses the town furnishes the coffin. The man who is so selfish as to have no time from his own business to give the city affairs is makingt he shroud. The man who will not advertise is driving the hearse. The man who is always pulling back from any public enter prise throws boquets on the grave. The man who is so stingy as to be bowling hard times, breaches the funeral sermon, sings the doxology and thus the town lies buried from all care and sorrow.

The investment by conservative citizens in business and residence property is very good indication of the faith of the citizenship in the town. Their advance has been gradual but it has only been in keeping with the general prosper ity that has been prevalent in this town. People who formerly re- sided in our town on their return visits are quick to see the change in conditions. There is an atmos- phere of good times prevalent.

Lovers of tobacco in it's v;

Lovers of tobacco in its various seductive forms who have been at times a trifle conscience smitten by reason of the alleged deplorable effects of the tobacco habit upon the mind and body should hence forth be able to smoke their pipes in peace since no less an authority than the London Lancet, the fore most journal of the medical world, has risen up to declare in the most deliberate and positive way that to- bacco smoke contains an appreciable amount of formaldehyde, one of the most powerful of antiseptics and germ killers.

The Real Good.

Of the 365 days in each year. in no one of them is so much happiness concentrated as in that of Christ mas. Parents and guardians are made happy by the expenditure of labor and money to please the young. and the refining influence of these acts on their own natures is of more value to them than thrice the amount of gold and silver they have expended in procuring them. Who is the man or woman of fifty or sixty who cannot look back over these vanished years and recall with pleasing associations some token in his or her youth from some kind friend on Christmas?
 So will it be now. and from gen. eration to generation. The real good and the extended influence of these gifts to the young we may not presume to measure. In re- fining sense they are more durable and far exceed their price in silver and gold.
