tully Weathered to a rich mahogany hue; finally, as if to mark the ultimate rise to affluence of the occupant, a two-story structure had been added, shingled as to walls and roof, while upon three sides a covered veranda wide enough for fashionable cotillon, approached by generous steps and a peaked porch, gave comfortable as surance of cool shade and a constant breeze shifting with the sun.
 Around and above porch and cabin there clambered festoons of grape vines and wild creepers, the dark green leaves lending a deeper tinge to the background of cedar and redw wood posts and walls.
 From this eyrie the old man who was it's chief occupant could easily toss a lump of his own shining ore on the roofs of the little town be- heath; viewed by day, the smoke of it's furnaces went winding away in long spirals and ribbons of vapor; at night, the spurts of colored flame from the chimneys of retort house and shelter lit up the opposite sides of the canyon in fitful flashes of murky red, or paled te an orange glow under the wan light of the moon.
 The solitary dweller on the hillside never wearied of the changing pie ture It was his; he had called into being the town and its throbbing in- dustries; he loved it with the pas sionate, yearning love of a wifeless cities of the coast-Los Angeles or San Francisco, Portland or Seattle possessed few charms. They only served to bank his constantly increas- ing millions. The rough little town, with its amazing monthly output of gold and silver and copper, stood to him in place of wife and child; the queer old ranch overlooking it all was his real home-his pride, his pas sion, his delight.
 And now the time was come when he must leave 1t all and go hence, for Andy Meleen was dying, and chiefly of that most incurable of diseases, old age. while his vast wealth must de- scend to an heir whom he had never seen.
 Upon curious contrivance Of do nestle devising. half bedstead, half re- clining chair, set upon casters so that it could readily be wheeled indoors and out, lay the old millionaire. Each livelong day, from sunrise to sunset he insisted on being placed in ms wide porch, whence he could still oversee his beloved town, and gaze at the noble prospect, with its con stantly shifting panorama of lights and shadows. Only nightfall drove him within doors.
 Rugged and gnarled as his own na- tive hills, originally of great girth ana mighty in stature, he was now shrunk- en to mere skin and bone. All the life and virility of the man seemed to have retreated to the massive head,

 Were you ever married yourself?" was the next query. Simple and nec- essary as it was under the circum. stances, and put in a colorless, matter cumbent figure of old Andy Meleen was like that of galvanic battery ap. piled to a corpse. His nervous and shrunken frame twitched and quiv. cred; the once mighty chest heaved as though it would burst asunder great beads of sweat broke out on face and forehead, and his strong mouth and chin trembled with emo tions entirely apart from causes due to age and weakness. MT. Carboy was genuinely distressed at the eff. feet he had so unwittingly produced. Something in the question had touched Andy on the raw. In halting and fragmentary phrases he said:
 God forgive me, Carboy, wuz mar ried, an to the sweetest little woman that ever trod God A'mighty's foot stool! I wuz a man full grown then -45 years old-old huff to know bet. ter! l wuz workin' in the Pennsyl- vania coal mines. A month after the weddin' we had main bitter quarrel. There kem strike, an I went out along O the rest O the boys Minna didn't like my bein' out O work, an told me so.

But an old farmer picked me up, an after putting in year O hospital kem out putty nigh as fit as ever Tn war wuz over, an then 1 heerd that my wife, my Minna had died in her time O trouble an her girl baby with her.

 Forgive me for arousing such pain full memories, Mir Meleen," said Car boy, but the inquiry was inevitable; we must know where we stand"
 Old Andy signified that he heard and appreciated. The strain of this long recital had come mighty near to parting his mortal coil then and there, and he lay as one indeed very near to death. MT. Carboy waited few min utes-he was not yet done with his probings into the past. At length Meleen opened his eyes once more and turned them mutely on his in- quisitor, who interpreted that as a sign for him to proceed.
 'I presume these matters can be verified-the time and place of your marriage and the date of demise of your wife and child?"
 For answer the old miner produced a well-worn leather wallet from under the blanket which covered him.
 You'll find tn dates an names there," he said faintly. "Anythin' more y want t know?"
 "One other point must be settled: Suppose this nephew of yours is dead, or cannot be found-who is to inherit in that case?"
 Another spasm contorted Andy rugged features.
 Tt goes to the state, l s'pose; that's the law, aint it?"
 Carboy nodded.

Independence of a Turkish Princess

The young Princess Chadye, daugh- ter of the ex-Sultan Abdul Hamid, has refused to accept Ali Namih Bey, son of the ex-grand vizier. to marry whom she was recently brought from Salon. ica to Constantinople.
 She has written to the papers pro- testing that she was not consulted in the matter, and the papers have pub lished her letter.

Cannon Substitute to
Smooth Troubled Water

Uncle Joe Cannon did not keep his
appointment to speak at urbana, where
he was to have opened the Republican
congressional campaign in Ohio. Re-
ports say that "uncle joe would not
speak because somebody wanted to
censor his speech before it, was delivered
and that Uncle Joe insisted that he
would make a speech to suit himscIfor
not at all.
This reads like q good excuse. tits
more reasonable to believe, however,
that Uncle Joe was induced to stay
away because tor him to speak in Ohio
at this time and sound key note for
the congressional campaign would be
very embarrassing to Republican can
didates for Congress from this state
who are trying to make the voters in
their respective districts believe that
they will be against Cannon for speaker
next time.
Former Congressman Jim Watson of
Indiana was sent to Urbana to speak
as a substitute for Speaker Cannon,
and reports say that "UncIe Joe could
not have defended himself with half so
much spirit if he had been there.
Watson was a member of congress II
years, eight years Of which he was the
Republican whip" of the house and
very loyal lieutenant of Speaker Can
non. He was just the man, therefore,
to send to Urbana as a substitute for
Uncle as The champion and defender Of
-patters.
According to reports "Mr. Watson
made it very plain that so far as he is
concerned no apologies will be offered
for the tariff legislation enacted by the
Republicans into the Payne-Aldrich
law. He launched bodily into a de-
Tense of that law and numerically
layed the Republican insurgents" "
And, also, Watson characterized Can
non as the grand old man Of his times,
and said that in the light of history he
would stand as one of the giants of his

times, man who refused to sacrifice
principal TO personal ambition" And,
further, "Mr. Watson took mp the tariff
schedules one by one and defended each
and every provision OF the Payne
Aldrich law. He then passed TO dis
cussion Of the much mooted question
of the rules Of congress and declared
for the justice of the position Of the
regular Republicans, handling the in
surgents merciloss arraignment, a"
and SO on,
This is decidedly interesting. Il
helps to lay bare the insincerity of
those Republican candidates for con-
gress in this state who are posing in
their districts as insurgents and foes of
Cannon, but who will be found as loyal
TO Cannon as ever when they get back
to Washington If the voters of their
district are foolish enough to take them
at their word and elect them.

That he is a public benefactor is un-
doubtedly true" says Bertha Poole
/ Weyl in WoMAN's HOME COMPANION
for July. "Buthis usefulness would be
| immeasurably increased If he were al
lowed to extend his business. People
who live on the country routes would
lioyfully welcome a chance to send and
receive packages by the rural carriers
| if the Post-Onice Department would
charge only a reasonable rate for the
service.
Under the present postal laws il
costs eighty cents to send five pounds
of rice by a carrier from the village
post office and general store to a Gus
toner living on a rural route, though
for sixty cents the same package can
be sent to England or any of twenty
nine foreign countries. Is il strange
that fifteen million people carry their
own parcels back and forth to town and
that the Rural Free Delivery has an
annual deficit?
This deficit is not small. There are
3S,2l5 routes which average annually
Sl3O in receipts and $3.50 in expenses.
This means a net loss of $3.50 per route
or a total loss of S27,5l4,SOO. Quite a
big price for failure to adopt ordinary
business methods.
Several plans have been suggested
to obviate this annual deficit. A special
rate might be made for the rural SER
vice, five cents for the first pound and
two cents for each additional pound up
to eleven. Provision may be made for
carrying at special rates, packages ori-
ginating on the line of the special route,
AS on an average trip a carrier handles
but twenty pounds of mail with facili-
ties for handling five hundred pounds.
All this could be done without any in
crease in expenditure, and tits estimated
that the increased grocery trade alone
would cover the dreaded S27, 7,5l4, 800
deficit
Consider what this increase in trade
would mean to the country store. 1t
would bring to It's doors customers from
a radius Of twenty and thirty miles, it
would reach the needs and purses of,
on an average, four hundred and fifty
people to a single delivery route, and,
if you count all the routes, fifteen mil
lion men, women and children, the

al Free Delivery would benefit. Does
it not seem as though they should be.
