His face was set and pale, for fierce struggle
against the unfairness and cruelty of life ragged
within him.
Outside the rocks were cawing in the distant
elms, and the clear note of robin came from
thicket. Through the trees-a network of golden
tracery-showed where the sun had set, and au-
tumn s mellow haze hung in the silent hollows.
Philip raised his head YEARLY. So this was his
last night in the old house. Henceforth that
peaceful country home would exist for him only
as a tender memory.
Would he ever return again9 Little did he care,
since Nep the comrade of his happest hours, had
deserted him. Small matter if friends seemed
cold and those he loved best understood him least.
Verify, fortune had dealt harshly with him.
From the WALL the portrait of his mother looked
tenderly down, in times gone by. Did she

Phil IS thoughts travelled back to the days of his
childhood, and all unheeded the shadows length
ened and the clock licked on. How swiftly those
early wears had flown, yet how wildly could he
recall every event of his boyhoodl 1t seemed only
yesterday that he was shy lad of twelve, roam
ing the fields and lanes, and laughing with his
lighthearted little friend, Penelope Leighton.
Phil was the rector s only child He and the girl
were alike motherless, and this, perhaps, deepened
the bond of sympathy between them.
All! those were careless, sunny hours, but all
too feeting. Even at this early date cloud APP
peared on the fair horizon. Clearly the scene
rose before him hot sleepy afternoon in
July; the rectory garden; Nep hiding in the
shrubbery; the arrival of his father with tall,
dark stranger and handsome boy; an interrupt
ed game of robbers, and an invitation to the
hall.
1t all so unexpected and happened so
quickly. The stranger Sir Charles Newenham,
the squire, lately returned after long absence from
abroad and the boy his Frank.
''The two lads should make good companions, -
Sir Charles had said; but Phil had no desire for
a playmate; he had been happy enough with
Nep Vaguely he suspected this visit, and he felt
troubled and disinclined to continue the game as
he watched the figures disappear down the walk
that day.

of the real situation; moreover, he had been open

almost savage reply.

Looking back, how true this presentiment
had been. Before long Frank had become
a frequent visitor at the rectory, and dis
turbing element in Phil s young life.
Henceforward the good times, the days of
dreams and make-believe, were ended Sci
dom now could he and Nep roam together in
their queer little world uninterrupted. The
old games were gradually abandoned, and
new ones took their place.
Nevertheless, in the end the two boys de-
veloped close friendship, although at times

the old story-two men and girl. One

Phil realized this clearly enough and yet
time was when this girl s heart might have
been wholly his. Perhaps he had taken too
much for granted. Unconscously he may
have relied too fondly on an early attach
ment that meant nothing to her in later
life, although lasting enough on his part.
But no; his love had been returned. This
he knew, albeit no actual word had been
spoken. And now her love had been gwen
to another. Still, could he blame NeP, after
all, if she had chosen Frank in preference

boyish days, had robbed him of all that
made life worth living.

 PLAN FOR FAIR

J. c. Adams of Phoenix, recently re-appointed territorial fair commits sioner, has come forth with the sug. gestion that an Arizona Copper stake of s10,G00 to be given half for a pac. ing race and half for trotting race during the territorial fair, be made one of the features of the fall racing meet during the fair. He believes this would serve to bring to public notice in a striking manner one of Arizona's greatest products.
 SIr. Adams believes the fall fair will be a bigger and better one than ever. Nothing has been done yet, but Mir. Adams is already doing some lively thinking and says there will be no difficulty in securing plenty of new and novel attractions, speaking of a number as among the possibilities. One thing he did suggest with an earnestness that betokened . conyic. ton that he intended to undertake it. was the arranging of a magnificent stake race in two divisions, the races to be the equal of anything in the line of harness events to occur in America during the season. He said it should be called the Arizona Cop Der stake and there should be two races. one for trotters and one for pacers, each with a 5000 purse.
 That sort of a stake, Mir. Adams believes, will give the territory a wonderful amount Of advertising in the east and in fact all over the coun- try Ten thousand dollars is now the biggest stake held up anywhere in the country and almost every big stable would have horses to compete in both ends of it. Purses like that would attract the finest stables in America and. being at the close of the racing season, 1t would bring class of horses here that would make not able records and make the Arizona fair famous in the racing world. Art- zona has already had the fastest and best horses and now it should have the biggest stake and the most fast horses to assemble anywhere.
 With a goodly number Of entries the entrance money would make
 nice nest egg for the purse. Phoepix business men, he says. should sub scribe to the purse and after that IS done. the commercial interests Of the territory by classes. and finally the big mining companies. especially the copper companies, should be asked to contribute the rest of It IL should | be called the Arizona Copper stake and give the copper industry of the territory a boom in advertising as
 well as advertising that Arizona leads the world in copper. The ter ritory at large would get the benefit of the copper advertising and the faii and Phoenix would get the benefit oi the crowd that would be called by the big race and the fine horses tha'
 would come to participate in 1t.
 All these things are o1ly suSges tions until the other two nommis sioners are named and they get or
 ganized for business, but they ara l worth thinking about and 1t IS hoped
