When Billy came in from the corral
ne had evolved the great idea" And
II was all for the happiness of one
Monty lowering, once known as
A. Montague lowering, but who had
recently taken up the glorious occu-
patton of COW puncher. and who
but that is getting ahead of the story
The girl lived in Boston, and her
father was a judge and rich, which
is truly an unusual condition for most
judges. She was young, petite, and
her cheeks were as red as the au-
tumn apple. When she smiled her
teeth were as pearls, and when she
laughed the spring time brook was
shamed in comparison. At least this
was the description that rested snugly
in the sentimental part of "Monty's"
mind; the picture that caused him to
hesitate many times before he en-
gagged in the usual "puncher" pas
times.
Monty" was at Harvard when he
met her, and he had called at her
home several times. But when his
father took the receivers route the
judge decided that any such thing as
an affair between the young people
must end And so Monty" in the
depth of his despair, went to the west.
1T will never be anyone but you.
Monty, DEAR" she told him. "No mat

pened last Sunday? My poor Helen,
what must she have thought? What
shall | do?"
And he buried his face in his hands
and almost sobbed, while eight cow
punchers stood about in exceedingly
embarrassed attitudes.
Its all that almanac of yours,
sighed Billy, looking daggers at the
miserable Shorty. Amt you got any
better sense than to not know that
Easter doesn't come on the same day
every year,"
While every one was blaming every
one else and while the wild-eyed
Monty paced up and down the plat.
form, a special delivery letter was
handed to Mr.. McDermott. 1t was
from Miss Oldham, and it read;
81 am in San Francisco at my aunt's,
and l have forever lost faith in mankind.
1 thought you were honest and good and
l find that you play a miserable joke
on an innocent girl. 1 had determined to
go back home and never mention this
again. But 1 am writing to ask you If
you have any explanation to make. l
have thought that there might have been
some accident. If the whole thing was a
joke, you need not answer this letter"
With a wild yell, Monty sprang to
the telegraph office and the following
message to Miss Helen Oldham was
hurriedly dispatched:
Am coming to you on the next train;
And after hours of waiting Monty
boarded the express, which seemed
to run at a snail's pace, and eight
good men and true rode slowly out OF
the town.
81 want all you boys to hear me"
solemnly declared the mournful Billy
as the gang assembled after supper
land be it known by these presents
that If l ever again attempt to fix up
an Easter romance, l hope I'm shot
for a rustler."
Exactly one week after the above
mentioned occurrences Mr.. Billy Nc
Dermott again was the recipient Of a
special delivery letter which the "old
HldH UTOuSuJ OuI llOLu lOWu' ~
was from Monty.
Good boys" it read, you have all
the cupids that ever existed beaten to
a stop. Miss Helen Oldham is now
Mrs. Monty lowering, thank you, and
we are starting for Boston tomorrow.
Judge Oldham has wired his forgive.
ness, and I'm afraid l will never again
punch cows. Mrs. lowering and l
expect to pay you all visit, however,
some time in the future. But until
then good-by. Regards to everybody"
well, I'll be darned," was the only
expression that Mr.. Bill McDermott
could give to his feelings.
And every Easter there is big box
of carnations and many, many edibles
sent out all the way from Boston to
the ranch where Mr.. Billy McDermott
holds proud and lofty sway.

altar stairs and the canons slowly
move to their places. The priests are
in violet the Lenten color. The deep
hue frightened by wonderful inter-
weaving of gold and silver, and the
crucifix on the altar is also violet
yelled. There is no organ music, and
the deep notes of the chanting swell
with a strange solemnity through the
echoing vaults. Slowly the brilliancy
grows, the candles CLEAN out on the
altar The cardinal In his sweeping
robes and scarlet cap advances among
attendant priests and acolytes, the
space before the altar Is filled with
figures white or purple-robed show
ing in vague richness through the
clouds of incense. The long service
goes on, with the monotonous priestly
recitals, the responses of the people,
occasional bursts of exquisite singing.
At last the solemn final word and
gesture of blessing have been given.
and one by one the priests lift and
bear away the palm branches. Then
the olive, which is given in their
stead to the people, is brought for
ward in great sheaves, and priest in
gold-embroidered violet robe holds out
the silvery branches to the hands
which reach and clutch for them, till
all the nearest of the throng have re.
ceived their portion and pass on twigs
to those behind. Peace and blessing
is that olive to bring to those who
reverenly receive the cleaning leaves.
The distribution completed, the cardi
nal and canons with their attendant
train move in stately procession down
the church, out into the portico, and
so back to the altar. They bear aloft.

The Church Holiday Gives Employ

From religion to business Is a big
Jump in the lives of most men-too
many people of this world trying to
separate their religion as far as posi-
bic from their business, for the reason
perhaps that some of their business
methods might not measure up to
their religious standards. However.
that may be, Easter-like all church
holidays-has a pronounced effect
upon the business interests of the
community. What with the great
number of eggs eaten; the large num-
Der of new clothes worn, and the num-
Der of Eastern novelties placed upon
the market, 1t is probably true that
no holiday, religious or civic-not
even Fourth of July-with the posi-
BILE exception of Christmas, causes a
greater amount of money to be put
into circulation. That this is so is a
blessing. Hundreds of thousands Of
people who would otherwise be with

And when the train stopped at the
watering tank the passengers were
surprised to see two ferocious and
dust-stained cowboys pass down the
aisles, carefully examining every face.
But when the last coach was reached
these two gentlemen appeared and
called loudly for assistance.

declaration.

every nook and Granny of the train

passengers were beginning to think
that a regulation hold-up was in

AS Shorty remarked, things looked

Rev. Augustus Thomas was merely
told that he was to perform mar

and pleased to render any assistance

But l need you now" protested
Monty" 81 need you every min

"Yes, dear" she replied, but we

So Monty" rode the whole day

walls of the homeless kyote, and

Is it not a fact that If our town had
10000 population instead of 1000 it
would be better for us all? Would
there not be much more employment;
would not these people consume more
products, and consequently make a
better market; would not the small
homes with one lot be doubled in
value and every farm within a radius
of ten miles be worth $40 to $50 an
acre more? Then is it only a good
