Sam sat watching the glinting rain from the
cozy shelter for some time. He made pillow

comfortably for both boys
Sam awoke first at broad daylight, and
crept outside after glance at Mats pale,

He found the shelter ne had erected to be

A man, driving bay horse attached to a

the rough shelter formed of the two sign

Sam observed this. and fastened
to take advantage of it.
Briefly and rapidly he told the man that
they were homeless boys, and he pointed to
Nat, who. disturbed by the loud talk, Just
then opened both his eyes, and he related
how he had come to find Nat.
The man listened interestedly, and then with
a speculative look on his face. He believed
Sam, that was evident. :,
Pm sorry for speaking roughly to you
he said, apologeticaIy; but as you see, ma
licious and mischievous boys have nearly ru-
ined our subdivision here. We laid out elgh-
teen acres last year, a little prematurely, cut
streets through, sdewalked the lots in the
market, and fenced them, and built that little
shanty of an office for our agent that you see
over yonder. Later we found that the time
was not quite ripe for selling yet, and we
couldn't afford to keep the agent here, SO we
closed the Office. Then we put up lot Of
For Sale boards with our name on, and relied
on that to attract customers. You see what
the result is-all our signs are down, the fences
are broken, the sidewalks are carried oil, and
sod and dirt have been carted away, besides
the office being almost destroyed"

Sam.

The chief hero OF the story George
Randolph receives a dying charge
from his father, an Illinois farmer
and veteran of the civil war, to enter
public life "but only in such q way
that you can be Of real service to man
kind"
AT Harvard, Randolph meets Fred
eric Ames, the son Of one Of the great
railway magnates Of the country and
they become fast friends. It is with
difficulty that Ames induces Randolph

to go with him to his home in New
York city, but finally, at the Easter
vacation OF their junior year in the
law school, he accepts and spends the
week at the Ames home in New York.

lectures at Cambridge. England, where
Randolph met her. At the death of
her husband she had silently vowed
to give her life to the service of man.

Randolph's arrival very interesting
discussion took place as to the oppor-
tunities for young man to achieve
honorable fame in public life under
existing political conditions.
It must be remembered that this

story deals with affairs for the four
years succeeding the next presiden.
tial election.
The story abounds in strong poll
tical discussion and startling political
situations, in beautiful mountain leg
ends and romantic love scenes.
The love story is refined, high class,
beautiful.
The author shakes down the temple
of American feudalism not by the mob
but by the rich and the strong, whose
hearts have become purified through
the divine fire of patriotism.
The present era of regulation of
large industrial enterprises is rather
mercilessly assailed but the logis
seems to be irrefutable.
George Randolph's career is not ov-
er bed Of roses by any means, for
he is eventually antagonized with all
the power of the elder Ames can com.
mand. and his struggles in New York
city are very thrilling. Perhaps one
of the most interesting parts Of the
book is successful attempt to over

wat comes in with loaded dice"
In one particular, however, Morris
agreed heartily with Judge Lindsey,
and that was as to the responsibility
of the father for his boys ways. But
he also advised some other remedy
than prison for the parent who drinks.
Fathers Fault
"Sure, it's de fathers fault. De

de mother has all she can do in de

drunk dey shouldn't send him to pri-

him. Dey ought to send him home
wen he is sober and his kids won't
know anything about it."
These ideas, aroused by the re-

were expressed in contradiction or
approval, but nearly always in contra

them to raise other things than grain
alone. Many nationalities are rep
resented, but most of the railroads.
settlers are sturdy farmers drawn
from less promising sections. They
conduct their immigration on a big
scale. Thirteen years ago they took
out in one day from Indiana, IA pas
senger coaches full of settlers, with
their goods and stock following, in
45 freight cars.
In March and April of 1898, 5000
went out, and two years later big
body went from the Shenandoah VAL
ley. In 1903 the railroads rendez-
voused a party Of $500 in Chicago
and from that point they went into
North Dakota on five passenger and
six freight trains. It is no unusual
sight to see party of several thons-
and immigrants arrive in a village
of several hundred, there to find
ready welcome, and then to be help
ed on to their lands further off the
railway. The Dakotas have the lands
for farmers and they mean to have
them, and the best ones, too.
