II is stated that the Union Pacific
is planning to plant it's right of way
from the Missouri river to the Pacific
with alfalfa. AT each edge OF the
right Of way also will be planted a
row of pine trees alternating with
elms, there being a tree at intervals
OF every two rods. As the alfalfa be
comes green early in the spring and
remains SO until late in the fall. the
ornamental effect should be decidedly
pleasing. Furthermore, 1t is claimed
that the grass and trees will furnish
in certain localities, decided pro
lection against snowdrifts and wash
outs. 1t is stated that the Chicago
Milwaukee G. st. Paul proposes to dc
similar planting and grassing between
ottumwa and Kansas City.

leisurely until late evening, when they
camped at the mouth of the valley up
which the miners cabin lay. Camp
had been made early at Gales sugges-
ton instead of pushing on few miles
farther. as Lee had intended, and now,
when the cool evening fell and the
draft quickened, it became possible to
lay off gloves and headgear, so they
sat about the fire, talking, smoking

modest or unmaidenly about it, for his
strength and ardor had lifted her and
drawn her to him as on the sweep of a

added shyly, at which he vowed that
he was far from strong and could not
walk but little way at time, yet,
even so, he declared, the trail would
be too short, even though it led to
Canada.
'"Then get your pack made up" she
ordered, ''fOr we must be we'll up to-

Swiftly he made his preparations. A
madness was upon him now, and he
took no pains to check or analyZe the
reasons for his decision. The thought
of her loneliness in his arms once more
far up among the perfumed wooded
heights as the silent darkness stole
upon them stirred in him such q fret
to be gone that it was like fever. He
slipped away to the barracks with in
structions for his corporal, but was
back again in a moment. Finally he
took up his burden of blanket and
food, then said to her:
"Well, are you ready, little one?"
Eyes, Meade" she answered simply.
"And you are sure you won't regret
it?"
mot while you love me-"
He kissed her again before they STEP
ped out on the river trail that wound
along the bank.
Two hours later they paused where
the foaming waters of Black Bear
creek rioted down across a graveled
bar and into the silent, sweeping riv-
er, standing at the entrance to a wood
ed, grass grown valley, with rolling
hills and domes displayed at it's head,
while back of them lay the town, six
miles away, it's low, squat buildings
tiny and toylike, but distinctly sill
houetted against the evening sky.

his hold, led the way into the forest.

This was the first criticism he had
heard of Necias father. and, although
Stark volunteered no argument, it was
plain that his opinion remained unaf-
fected.
The old man went through the store
at the rear and straightway sought AL

severity in the Pah-Ute language, he
said:

True, but another time you might
say more; therefore the less you speak

Suddenly she dropped her work and
came close up to him. Can he be the

II don't know. Stark is not the
name, but he might have changed it.
He had reasons enough"
"Who is this man Stark

Finally Gale arose, remNrking sleep

wished to get any rest before the mos

away from the fire and spread his
