BUYING THEM A LITTLE DRINK
City Official Hadn't Consulted the
Tastes of His Clerks.

Some time ago, e. w. Bemis, super
tendent of the city water works, asked
two clerks in another city department
TO make some computations for him.
They worked late and finished the fig
ures to Mr.. Bemis' entire satisfaction.
That's very kind of you, boys" he
told them. 81 guess l will have to
buy you little drink"
They didn't mind. So the three
sailed forth from the city hall. Mr..
Bemis led the way down Superior
avenue. When he passed some of the
drink dispensaries without casting as
much as a glance in their direction
the two clerks began to wonder.
"He must be going to take us to the
club" whispered one to the other.
At last they entered a bedizened
spot at a street intersection. Walk
ing up to the rail, Mr.. Bemis spoke
to the white-aproned attendant

said. What flavor will you have,

hoped, will in turn plant windbreaks
around their farms.
The forest is very open and for the
most part contains scattering stand
of western yellow pine timber. Along
the creek bed are found ash, box elder,
cottonwood, elm and birch. Cedar
breaks are also found on precipitous
slopes bordering the streams. West
ern yellow pine is the only merchant
able species, however, ON the forest
and the average stand per acre is not
over 1000 feet. The reproduction of
pine is fairly good wherever mature
trees occur, but owing to the open
condition of the forest and the dense
growth of grass it is for the most part
unsatisfactory.
There is but little timber that will
be sold from the forest at the present
time, since this area is very isolated,
being surrounded on all sides by vast
plains. Many homesteaders have in
the past come to this forest for tim
Der for logs to build their houses.
Since the completion of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad, Billings
county is rapidly being settled, and
while stock grazing is at the present
time the most important industry, it is
very probable that farming will be-
come the most important industry
within the next few years. 1t is very
important, therefore, that the timber
which now remains should be con-
served exclusively for the use of the
home builder.
At the present time there are but
seven homesteaders within the bcun-
DIARIES of the forest, but all of the odd
sections are alienated land being
owned by the Western Land Securities
Company. This company has been
selling portions of their holdings dur
ing the past few years. Very little of
the government land within the
boundaries of the forest is suitable for
farming purposes. since it is quite
rough and broken and water is very
scarce. It is the country outside of
the forest which is now being taken
up by settlers.
No sawmill operations have ever
been conducted on the area. When
the Northern Pacific railroad was be-
ing built a larger number of trees
we're cut for railroad ties, and together
with the logs which have been pro-
cured for house building by settlers,
this is the only use which has been
made of the timber on the forest. II Is
understood that the logs used in the
construction of President Roosevelts
cabin. which now stands in the state
capitol grounds at Bismarck, N. D.,
were obtained from the area now In
cluded in the Dakota national forest
Gov. Burke of North Dakota is very
much interested in this forest and
thinks it will be of inestimable value
to the people who live in the region
where the forest is created.
Both of the new national forests. the
Ocala in Florida, and the Dakota, will
be nut under administration by the
forest service as soon as possible.

CHAPTER XIII.
The Xmas Jest.

A short time after two boats pulled
away from the Britannia. In one OF
them sat the majesty of England.
There. was more ruffling of bugles,
more rolling of drums, more blaring OF
lrumpets, more laundering of guns,
hore hurrahing from the men, as the
little king. thoroughly delighted with
Ms royal clemency, was rowed back
10 the shore.
The other boat departed shortly
after the kings, without exciting the
slightest attention. The officer of the
deck escorted Darlington over the side,
shook hands with him and the boat
pulled away to the Bellona, hand
some 32-gun frigate fresh from the
sbinvards and ready for her maiden
cruise. which lay near by.

WHAT THE DoLLIEs HAD.
Small Wonder That the Little Mother
Was Really Alarmed.

Little Mary was really very Ill.
Mother said she was sure 1t was an
attack of appendicitis, but Grandma
was equally sure the little one was
threatened with commissions.
The argument waxed warm in
Marys presence, and appropriate RENE
dies were used, and the next day she
was better.
Coming into her mothers room dur
ing her play she said;
Mamma, two of my dollies are very
sick this morning"
Indeed, dear, am very sorry. What
is the matter with them?"
"Well l don't really know, mamma

God only knows!" said Darlington,
desperately. "All know is that she
is well and under the kings especial
protection. We are bound for the East
Indies for three years. Three years
away from her! God, what a fool I've
been. Strathgate was right" Car
rington turned away, putting strong
constraint upon himself in order to
compose his features. WELL" he said
at last, "are you all ready?"
Ready to trip" returned Parkman.
Call all hands. I'll read them my
orders and then well get up anchor"
In moment the shill piping Of the
boatswain and his mates along the
deck was followed by the trampling of
many feet. The crew, a splendid set
of fellows, assembled in the gangways.
Darlington read his orders to them,
directed the commanding officers pen
nant to be hoisted and babe Parkman,
who for the present acted as first lieu
tenant. to get under way.
There were many expert seamen
among the crew and the meaneuver
was handsomely performed. The an
Choir was hove short, the topsails were
loosed and sheeted home, the anchor
was tripped, the ships head was cast
to starboard, the sails filled, the wind
was fair, and she glided gracefully
from the anchorage abaft the Britain
mia and swept toward the great liner,
whose tall sides lowered above her
like a castle wall.
AS the Bellona drew abreast the
liner burly figure suddenly appeared
on the edge Of the high poop of the
Britannia. Recognizing the admiral.
Darlington, who had stood aft on the
quarterback of his frigate, barred his
head and saluted. The admiral re-
turned the compliment with his own
chapeau, then he turned and waved 1t
forward. Instantly the rails of the
Britannia swarmed with men, and
from their throats at another signal
from the admiral came such burst of
cheering as warmed the very cookies
of the melancholy Carrington's heart.

A little hand fell softly upon his

A little hand fell softly upon his
shoulder with touch as light as that
of thistledown. Where that hand
touched him was the center of his be-
ing. My lord turned his head, looked
at 1t slowly, turned his body, followed
1t up, saw face he dreamed of, tears
rolling from eyes that looked love at
him, and in another moment he was
clasped in his wife's arms.
This was the punishment meted out
to him by little George. He was to go
to the Indies, but not alone. When
there was time for coherent speech
Ellen handed her husband another pa
per appointing him captain of the
Bellona, subject only to the orders of
his wife.
God bless HIM" cries my lord,
folding his wife again to his heart
"And l say so, too" answers Ellen,
although we fought against him so
long, he hath kindly heart"
'Ie hath, indeed" returned Caring
ton, after time. HE gave me his
royal word that you should be well
looked after for the next three years,
and the keeping of the kings word is
intrusted to me. 1 shall see to it."
Nay" said Ellen, you are under
my command now. Look at your or
ders."
otis even so, my little captain"
laughed my lord, sweeping her to his
heart again. "And what orders do
you propose to issue to me?"
81 should like to present to you two
of my friends"

1T serves now" said Ellen, draw
ing herself away from him. And in
deed she found it difficult, for he
would by no means let her go, follow
ing her aft and still keeping his hand
about her waist as she opened the
door of one of the cabins.
Out thence, for all the world like a
Jack-in-the- popped Mistress Deb
orah, her cheeks redder than the scar
let ribbons she affected, and stalking
behind her came Sir Charles Seton in
great dignity.

glad, for though he loved Seton much,
he loved his wife more, and he wanted
her for the rest of his life all to him

Seton OWNED that, for presently he
took Deborah by the hand and led her
forth upon the quarterback, leaving
and Ellen alone together,
each in the haven where they fain
would be; husband and wife, one and
