not altogether conceal his desire TO
be on friendly terms. Having re-
gained her selfcontrol. she responded
to this with such tact that by evening
each felt more at ease in the new re-
lationship. and Blake had lost every
trace of his moroseness. The fact
that both were passionately fond of
music proved an immense help. 1t

mutual sympathy and understanding

Yet for all his enjoyment of the

that their talks and discussions did
not interfere with the activities of

thoughts and her hands.
AT first every ascent Of the cliff was
embittered by a painful consciousness

direct path to the headland. and. as
she refrained from visiting ii. the new
happenings of her wild life soon thrust

foreground of her thoughts Each day
she had to nerve herself TO meet the
beaks and wings of the despoilei nest

greater hope for the expected rescue

pointed.
But the hours she spent on the cliff
crest after gathering the days supply
Of eggs were not spent merely in
watching and longing. The inconven-
Iences of carrying the eggs in a hand

suggested renewal OF her attempt at
discriminating. Memory. persever-
ance and trace of inventiveness en-
abled her to produce a small but
serviceable hamper Of split bamboo

the hair of the hide out of which he
had made his moccaSins, and his

TAET'S SECOND TERM FIGHT.
&Crane is managing Tafts second
term campaign, and he has prepared
some set pieces to be ignited when
the acceptance came, so there at
once followed tremendous activity
among the old guard politicians.
Word has gone down the line that
every man will be expected to do
his part to efface the memory of
the frost which greeted Taft on his
visit here last fall when he was
o.king Jim Tawney, and saying the
tariff bill was the best ever. The
Fact that Monday, September 5, is
labor day. is not overlooked, and
labor" is being encouraged by peo-
pie who never encouraged it before;
encouraged to make its parade a

be augmented by the regular troops
from Fort Smelling. And the militia,
whether the labor people have been
consulted as to how welcome militia
anC regulars are in the ranks of the
working peoule, does not yet APP
near. But the flag and the smile
will be there. And so President Taft
is to have the first day OF the con-
servation congress all to himself,
and THE CONSERVATION OF
TAFT'S POPULARITY will be the
order of the day. Pleasant refer
ences will be made to the great jul
dicial mind and the compromising
manner His party regularity Will
be eXtolled, his power over congress
and the vast AIRY Of beneficial laws
which he single handed wrung from
reluctant senators and congress
men. The Taft smile is to be put
en-, exhibition at its best. Nothing
will be said about Ballinger, about
revising of the tariff upward, about
the Aldrich rubber scandal or the
Cannon Aldrich partnership. In
surgency will be overlooked and the
returns from Kansas consigned to
foreetfulness. This will be try

1t was hard for him to land that
job, too, for his father-in-law only
owns half of the concern. But he
did land it and is the most demo
cratic fellow one sees. He works
in overalls, as has been said and
gets all dusty and greasy, so that
it is the deuce of a job for his
valet to scrape and polish him off
at night.
He carries a dinner pail, too,
The cutest little dinner pail in Chi

city for it. The fellers at the mill
say it's gold-lined. and that he
shouldn't carry anything but choco
late creams in it.
This is the counts first vacation
since he got his job last spring
His last vacation extended from
his birth until last April. So you
see why he needs change and
rest.
The count is going to work in
