That Is Necessary.

Now is the moment when the wom-

lengths of fine materials for years
may have her opportunity of using
them to advantage. There is often in
household quite an accumulation of
fabrics which have been too scant for
making gowns and yet are too long
or not of the sort which one wishes
to use up for waists, Innings, etc.
Sometimes these fabrics are so beauti-

Donald Saunders had his first great
adventure up in the Longs Peak
country, region famous throughout
Colorado for heavy SHOWS and ava
lanches. Donald came over from Den
yer, after graduating from high school,
Saunders, his fathers youngest broth
er. Sumpter was very young uncle,
indeed, being but 27 and not very
long out of college, while Donald was
10. Uncle Stump" was big-boned,
strapping fellow who had played CEN
ter in his college football team, a man
with laughing blue eyes and teas
ing" ways but entertaining serious
dreams Of owning a great mine, If
strength and pluck and persistence
would bring one to light. He was run
ming tunnel on what he believed to
be an excellent gold-bearing prospect,
up in the Longs Peak country. Don
aid went out to help him. The tall
boy had notions OF becoming a min
ing engineer, and here was experience
that might prove of value when he
should be ready to enter a technical
school.
The world is very much in confusion

been flung about at all sorts of

clumps of pines on the soaring sleeps
sing cheerily in the wind and sun.
Donald found it all quite magical.
He had purposed returning home
to Denver in the autumn, but Sumpter
having offered him an interest in the
mine, should they succeed in striking
quartz, he concluded to remain at
least until Christmas. Donald's ia
ther, knowing the value of practical
experience, thought it quite as well
that his son should stay and rough it
for awhile.
There were deer and bear and
mountain grouse in that lifted, broken
region, but the two young fellows had
little time for hunting them, being
intent on driving the tunnel as rap
idly and with as little delay and ex-
pense as possible. Sumpter had built
a cabin close against the base of a
perpendicular wall of rock at the side
of the canyon in which his claim lay.
In this cabin they lived very snugly,
going down to Ward occasionally to
bring up supplies. Donald had come
up to that country over little rail-
road that runs from Boulder to Ward,
a bit Of track upon which the snow
rotary plows are busy most of the
winter.
Towards Christmas the young min
ers began to grow bit lonesome and
restless; they especially grew weary
of ham and timed meats and longed

Snow was heavy on the mountains
and they could get about but little
save upon snowshoes. Donald wished
very ardently that he might go home
for Christmas but made up his mind
that to leave Sumpter in that white,
lonely world would be selfish and
cowardly, SO he remained.
Christmas morning Donald put on
his snowshoes and, flinging Sumpter's
rifle across his shoulder, he declared
he was going to look for fresh meat.
His uncle laughed at him but the
hardy Scotch youth was resolute.
''An old hunter" he said, told me
at the hotel down in Ward, the last
time l was down, that a lot of deer
wintered in the big thickets just
back of US here; he said they were
hard to get at but he'd found them
there twice. I'm going up to see."
Sumpter assented reluctantly, caution
ing his nephew not to go too far away.
The day was soft and mild, the
white world all agleam with sunshine.
Donald put on pair of smoked
glasses and started up the canyon. A
half mile away he found little

New York, Jan. S.-The gloom of
the rent strikers was turned to joy
today when the large number of evic-
lions threatened by the landlords
when they had warrants issued,
seemed to dwindle materially. 1t
was dificult to get marshals to han
die those that were issued. They
said they we're busy with other
things.
Many landlords, too, settled with
their tenants rather than pay the
cost Of their eviction. Many tenants.
frightened by the action OF the court.
agreed to accept smaller reductions
than those first demanded. Many
cases were compromised in this way.
In other cases tenants paid up the
full amount demanded, but there were
few Of these cases, and in most In
stances it was the landlords who
yielded. Thirty-six settlements were
reported at socdalistic headquarters.
