 The leaves once more were red and yellow on the trees. but tcday the air was warm and the children were wear. ing their summer dresses.

Her quaint. old fashioned manner, her seri. ous eyes and her trick of knotting bel heavy brown hair low on her neck made her seem older.
 Mandy waited until the children had disappeared over the hill, theu began bustling about. looking for the step ladder which Hasty had left under the vines of the porch. It had been busy day at the parsonage. X social always meant perturbation for Mandy. She called sharply to Hasty as he came down the path which made short cut to the village

 Douglas laid the letter gently on the tabte his hand still resting upon it. He looked helplessly at the little, shrunk en figure in the opposite chair. Polly had made no sound. but her head had slinned lower and lower. and she now sal very quietly with her face in her hands She had been taught by Toby ana Jim never to V hinper.
 ~what plucky lot they are," thought Douglas sss he considered these three lonely souls, each accepting whatever fate brought with no rebel lion or even surprise II was strange world of steics in which these cilil- dreD of the amusement arena fought and lost. Trey came and went like nbanfoIns. with as little consciousness of their own best interests as of the great moving powers of the world about them They felt no throes of envy. no bitterness. They loved and worked and event their way
 For once the pastor was powerless in the presence of grief Both he and Mandy left tie room quietly. feeling that Polly wished to be spared the outburst of tears that sympathetic word might bring upon her They al lowed her to remain alone for time: then Mandy entered softly with ten der good night. and Douglas followed her caeerily as though nothing at all had happened.
 It was many weeks before Polly again became a companion te Douglas and Mandy. but they did not intrude upon her grief They waited patiently for the time when youth should again assert itself and bring back their laughing mate to them.

 HI Willoughby came through the l@ wicker gate to the left of the parsonage. carrying bunting for the social She was followed by Miss Per kIns with bucket of pickles. which Mandy promptly placed on top of Mrs. Elverson's ice cream. The women ex- plained that they had come te put the finishing touches to the decorations. If anything was needed to increase Mandy's dislike of the widow 1t was this announcement.
 Mrs. Willoughby was greatly wor- ried because her children had not been home since the afternoon school ses- sion. Upon hearing that they were with Polly she plainly showed her dis pleasure. and Douglas dispatched Mandy for them She saw that her implied distrust of Polly had annoyed him. and she was about to apologize when two of the deacons arrived on the scene. also carrying baskets and parcels for the social.
 Strong led the way. He always led the way and always told EiversoB what to think. They had been talking exeitedly as they neared The parson age. for Strong disapproved of the re cent changes which the pastor had made in the church service. He and Douglas had ciasbed more than once since the baseball argument. and the deacon had realized more and more that he had met will esate as strong as his own.

T OR NEXT
SESSION
Fort Worth WithdrawS in
Favor of Denver; Colorado
Against PinchOt.

Los Angeles, Jan. 2S.=The Ameri-
can National Livestock association
finished the work of its annual conven-
ton today with the adoption OF resoln-
tions upon various subjects of impor-
tance to the live stocks interests, the
choosing of officers for the ensuing
year and the selection OF Denver as
the next meeting place.
The resolutions we're, adopted by
practically a unanimous vote. although
there was brief but spirited opposi-
ton on the part OF the Colorado dele
gates to the paragraph endorsing the
work of the United States forestry
bureau and declaring in favor of fed
eral control of grazing lands.
The principal resolutions endorsed
the Curtis-Scott land bill, providing
federal control Of lands with leasing
privileges to stockmen; the Culber-
son bill for the improvement of rail
road service; favored protective tariff
on livestock, hides and wool. and the
extension of our foreign markets; and
endorsed President Roosevelts atti-
tude toward the livestock interests,
and the administration of Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson
All OF the officers of the association
were unanimously elected with the ex-
ception of Second Vice President Par.
sons of Salt Lake, Utah, who was sue
cceded by Joseph M. Carey of Wyom-
ing, Mr.. Parsons not being a candidate
for reelection. The contest for the
next meeting place was between Den
yer and Fort Worth, and after the
claims of both cities had been urged
by successive delegations of speakers.
Fort Worth withdrew in favor of the
Colorado city, and asked instead for
the convention of 1911.
The fight against the endorsement
Of Pinchcts administration of the for
estry service and the national policy
of land control, was made by half a
dozen delegates who were members of
the Colorado Cattle and Horse Grow
ers's association, led by Former State
Senator f. NJ. Ammons. of Littleton,
Colo.,a Congressman-Elect Frank Nj
Taylor, of that state. The right of
Senator Ammons 10 represent the sen
tlment Of his state as opposed TO fed
eral land control was challenged by
Vice President Mackenzie of Trinidad,
Colo. but he showed that the Colorado
Cattle and Horse Grswers' association
had so voted. He was asked by Mr..
Mackenzie II number OF component
organizations OF stockmen of Colorado
had not withdrawn from the parent or.
ganlzation on account Of the vote, but
he said that but three had Withdrawn
and four others had since joined. Con-
gressman-Elect Taylor declared that
Ammons correctly represented the sen
timent of the state and asserted with
spirit that the policies of Mr.. Pinchot
had brought irreparable injury to the
Industries of Colorado"
Federal land control was favored b.
several delegates, led by former United
States Senator JOS NJ. Carey. Of Wy
oming, who maintained the policy of
the present administration was a ben
eft to the western country. The sub
stitute resolution offered by Ammons
was Overwhelmingly voted down
The delegates to the convention will
