my trouble began.
1T ended in my having to organize
the special service on the whole road
to look after thousand and one
things that nobody else had-well, let
rs say time or inclination to look aft
all that sort of disagreeable thing.
Then one day the cat crawled out of
the bag. What do you think? That
man who is now president Of this road
had somewhere seen highly-colored
story about me in q magazine, a ten
cent magazine, you know. He had
spotted me the first time I walked into
his Office, and told me long time
afterward it was just like seeing a
man walk out of book, and that he
had hard work to keep from falling on
my neck. He knew what he wanted
me for; it was just this thing. left

no more of it-that I couldn't and
wouldn't. But it is Bucks. I can't go
back on him. He is amiable and l

but fancy-that is, have an intima-

Oh, yes, I've heard a lot about you!

Whether he talked railroad or chick

The train had pulled out when Dick

The Dogs Of Turkey.

In the matter Of kindness to animals
it is said that the Turk cannot be sur
passed Thus at Stamboul the waD-
dering dogs are treated with great
gentleness. and when puppies come
into the world they are lodged with
their mother at the side of the street
in improvised kennels made out Of old
boxes lined with straw and bits Of
carpet. And frequently when young
Turk happens to be flush of money he
goes to the nearest bakers shop and
buys quantity of bread. which he
distributes among the dogs Of the
quarter, who testify their gratitude by
jumping up at him with muddy paws
and shifting muzzles.

can get attention by firing off a re-

do it by wearing loud clothes and pro-

risen from the ranks have carefully
neglected to use methods OF this kind
Every office man must act as his

himself by increasing his efficiency.
He must be able to do the work for
which he is hired. Not only should

he must do that work better than It

For answer she touched Jim lightly
with her lines and his spring released
her hand very EFFECTIVELY. AS she did
so the trail turned, and the campfire,
whipped in the high wind, blazed be-
fore them.
Whispering Smith and Lance Dun
ming were sitting together as the two
galloped up. Smith helped Dicksie to
alight She was conscious of her color
and her eyes were now unduly bright
Moreover, Whispering Smiths glance
rested so calmly on both McClouds
face and her own that Dicksie felt as
If he saw quite through her and knew
everything that had happened since
they left the house.
Lance was talking to McCloud.
Don't abuse the wind" McCloud was
saying. TITS our best friend tonight,
Mr.. Dunning. 1t is blowing the wa
ter off-shore. Where is the trouble?"
For answer Dunning led McCloud OF
toward the bend, and Dicksie was left
alone with Whispering Smith.
He made seat for her on the wind
ward side of the big fire. When she
had seated herself she looked up in
great contentment to ask II he was
not going to sit down beside her. The
brown coat, the high black hat and
the big eyes of Whispering Smith had
already become . part Of her mental
store. She saw that he seemed pre-
occupied, and sought to draw him out

When the two reached the chicken
house Dicksie examined the nest where
she was setting the bantam hen. "This
miserable hen will not set, she ex-
claimed in despair. "See here, Mr..
Smith, she has left her nest again and
is scratching around on the ground.
Isn't it shame? I've tied a cord

CHAPTER Xxx.
At the River.

They found the ranchhouse as Mari.
on and Dicksie had left it, deserted.

river. McCloud did not approve Dick

cousin first. why not let me ride
down and manage it without bringing
you into it at all?" he suggested. 1T
can be DONE" And after further dis
cussion it was so arranged.
McCloud and Smith had been
Joined by Dancing on horseback, and
they made their way around Squaw
lake and across the fields. The fog
was rolling up from the willows at
the bend. Men we're chopping in the
brush, and McCloud and his COM
panion soon met Lance Dunning rid
ing up the narrow strip of sand that
held the river off the ranch.
McCloud greeted Dunning, regard
less of his amazement, as if he had
parted from him the day before. "How
are you making it over here" he
asked. 1--WE are in pretty good shape
at the moment down below, and I
thought would ride over to see if we
could do anything for you. This is
what you call pretty fair water for
this part of the valley isn't it,"
Lance swallowed his establishment.
"This isn't water, McCloud; this is
hell" He took of his hat and wiped
his forehead. "Well, call this white,
anyway, and no mistake-I do, indeed,
sir! This is Whispering Smith, isn't
It? Glad to see you at Crawling
Stone, SIR Which served not only
to surprise but to please Whispering
Smith.
Some Of my men were free," con-
tinued McCloud; II switched some
mattresses and sacks around the Y,
thinking they might come in play here
for you at the bend. They are at your
service If you think you need them"
Need them!" Lance swore fercely
and from the bottom of his heart. He
was glad to get help from any quar-
ter and made no bones about it. More
over, McCloud lessened the embarrass-
ment by explaining that he had per-
sonal interest In holding the channel
q
might threaten the approaches already
built to the bridge; and Whispering
Smith, who would have been on terms
with the catfish II he had been flung
into the middle Of the Crawling Stone,
contributed at once, like REINFORCED
spring, to the ease of the situation.
Lance again took OF his hat and
wiped the sweat Of anxiety from his
dripping forehead. Whatever differ
ences of opinion I may have with
your company, have no lack of
esteem personally, McCloud, for you,
sir, by heaven! How many men did
you bring?''
"And whatever wheels you Crawling
Stone ranchers may have in your
heads on the subject Of irrigation" re-
turned McCloud, evenly, Il have no

 The grave problem presented by declininE birth rate Is again distress ing France, which is particularly en- gagged at this moment weighing the merits claimed for a plan proposed by Prof Charles Richet of he Academy of Medicine and M. Leroy -Beaulieu. The scheme proposes a system of bonuses for children, the bonus grow ing as the number of children in on family grows: that Is, while the par ents get nothing in, consideration of the first child. they get 500 francs for the second 1000 for the third and so on.
 Prof. Richet believes hat births will be increased annually by 750,0O0 or 1.OOO.oOo as cost of the state of a0.- 100000 francs yearly. The expenditure is to be met by death duties; They collateral bequests and confiscating half of the estate in case there is only child. M. Leroy Beaulleu further would reduce the salaries of unmar- ried employees of the state as well as of those with only one child. or with none five years after marriage.
 Naturally the proposition has arous- ed warm opposition. It is asked whe- ther the class which would be reached by such aan offer is one worthy to be the parents of future generations.

 Parisian Sage is guaranteed by E. O. Fowler to drive out dandruff and stop falling hair in two weeks, or money back. It stops itching scalp in two days. and keeps the scalp cool and free from odors in warm weather.

Living in Tents.


 Already hundreds of white and brown tents have been pitched in New England. along lake and ocean shores. on the banks of babbltng brooks and far up among th4 mountains. Their number will be doubled and tripled as the summer season advances until you can scarcely cast a glance into bunch of shady trees anywhere without dis covering the canvas shelter of some happy family.
 This kind of camp has the advantage over the house-and-lot variety in that 1t is nova ble. If the camper doesn't like the site first selected for an outing. why all he has to do is to pull up his pins and pull down his roof and travel on to a spot of fairer seen srv and fewer mosquitoes. Outfits are made so light and compact nowadays that they can easily be carried by one man.
 Tent life. far from the crowd and close to nature, permits of perfect freedom and results in real rest Your pantaloons don't have to be pressed and you can wear a slouch hat without shame. The pure air Is an inspiration and the clean water a tonic whether taken a drink a bath. And how you eat! Food never tastes better than when cooked in a spider under umbrella out of doors during a rainstorm.
 It's an ideal existence for folks who are not "finicky." Even tent pitched by father in the back yard at home, with mother pre- siding over a two-burner oil stove Is not to be overlooked a change for parents and Q pleasure for children.

Turkey. Persia and Morocco Will each have its living ex-Suitan. and Morocco may have two; for Mulaf Hafid seems to be in danger of following his broth CT, Abd el Aziz into the obscurity of pri- vate life. After this 1t will not be easy to speak of the dread power which hedges in every Mohammedan ruler as the shadow of God upon earth.
 After this 1t will be difficult to speak of the Mohammedan creed religion of stagnation: and, in a wider aspect still. the supposed historical opposition between relig- ion and political liberty will appear less evident than ever. For 1t is to be noted that in Turkey. the representatives of Islam while divided into two fcamps have on the whole worked harder for progress than against it.
 In Persia, the role of the priesthood would seem to have been wholly admirable. The doctors of the law were among the pio- neers of the liberal movement, and at a critical moment they acted boldly by pro- claiming the excommunication of the Shah. In Morocco, 1t is true. Mulai Hafid was be- lieved to have won against his brother as the avowed champion of orthodoxy. But the speed with which Hafid's authority has crumbled away shows that fin reality polit- teal motives of some sort must have been predominant even in Morocco.
