MRS. WATERS, TREE.

DO you think it will die?" Mrs
Waters anxiously inquired of heI
gardener.
The man, surprised at Mrs. Wat
ers unexpected ana unusual gar
rutfty, looked up at her In aston
ishment. Then he prodded the tree
~ question with his hoe and shook
his head.
II dunno" hesreplied, "she looks
pretty bad. There amt much good
heart in her. l done ali kin do
fpr her,"
;sIs there anyone around here
more versed than. you about
trees?" Mrs Waters persisted, to
the gardeners infinite amazement.
Her customary conversation was
about five words day.
There's young cnap up the
road that might know more" he
declared. Hes kind of treeolo-
gist-he's been studying trees for
years now
Send him to me-" said Mrs.
Waters, firmly.
When the young man in ques-
ton, Harry Johnson, arrived at the
Waters house, he viewed Mrs. Wat
ers with considerable interest. Mrs.
Waters had long been known for
her taciturn disposition, and II was
limited that her crusty exterior was
caused by an event in her past.
Il want to see If you can save
my tree" explained Mrs. Waters,
Its not very old-we--that is. L
planted it about 20 years ago. See
II you can't keep it from dying"
Together he and Mrs. Waters
surveyed the tree. It was pretty
far gone, and Harry felt uncertain
as to his ability to save it. The
gardener, in ever increasing sur.
prise, gazed open mouthed at Mrs.
Waters as he fluently talked with
Harry about the matter. Frequent
conferences were necessary be-
tween Mrs. Waters and Harry in
regard to the tree. To these con.
ferences the gardener was also
called, and in time Harrys girl.

No Partnership Proven.
After a discussion of the evidence
in regard to these points, the opinion
of Judge Stevens says: In view ~
the evidence in the case, | am satis-
fed that there was 40 intention on the
part of either of the plaintiffs or the
defendants Weber and Davis, to enter
into any mining partnership whatever.
In fact, from the evidence, / have
grave doubts as to whether the transac-
tion or agreement could be termed a
partnership. 1t so, it was certainly a
! qualified one, and limited in its opera
ton to a participation in the discov-
cries which were made by the defendant
webter during the trip, or to Any op-
lions that might be made. Unless the
agreement goes beyond the mere fur
nishing of supplies in consideration OF
a participation in the discoveries, fhe
word partnership is improperly used
and is misleading
The opinion continues:

shows that Webber and Hodson re
