DOES COPYRIGHT PROTECT?

In this new country of ours, fresh

would think OF who merely tried to
"think them up. Here is ono for
instance, just developed: Representa-.

for a magazine in defense Of the Payne,

right law the magazine is protected
in the use OF that article. II paid Mr..
Mccall To write il, it copyrighted the

utes to enjoy all rights and privileges
in connection with the publication of it,
But here comes member of the
L. :. Senate who moves TO have the
article printed as a Senate document
and distributed throughout the coun-
try Manifestly this would destroy the
value of the copyright, and iniure the
magazine which has paid for the use
of that article and is entitled TO be
protected in that use.
Equally evident. however, is the fact
that the magazine has no remedy. The
Senate can proceed with its publication
of that article as a Senate document
and can distribute il freely through
out the country. carrying the document

ANOTHER SORT OF SMITH.

The Kansas City Star of December
2I. 1909, contains an illustrated inter
view with President Joseph Smith of
the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter.day Saints. We take from
this interview the following sentiment
as expressed by the venerable presi-
dent;
cording TO our enlightenment The more
we arc educated tho farther we are re-
moved from harmful Influences. But tho
balance is even until the end. ]. Joseph
Smith. must answer for my deeds.
Mr. Smith is over se,cpty-six years
old. Reports from his homo have been
TO the effect tha, he is fast failing, and
the surmise is that his days arc not
many. AS is evidenced in the sentI-
ment expressed. he has learned well
the lesson of life; and now that he is
approaching the horizon Of his career
he calmly overlooks the earth and the
past. and expresses his abiding faith
in the eternal law of compensation.
The thought is beautiful one. and
az reason for its being il has abund-
ant proof IN all nature. Men and
things live and die. but there is no
annihilation of either. That which
droops and dies today is again in life
tomorrow. Nothing is destroyed, but
merely undergoes its inevitable
changes Were il not so. even The ele-
ments themselves would perish aud dis
solve into nothingness, until finally the
almighty and incomprehcnsi5le uni,
verse would become one vas5 and
frigh,ful void.

CHAPTER XVIII.
The Eavesdropper Caught.


--@ doubts of Blake, the girls
49, modesty would have caused
her to think twice before repeating to
him the Englishmans insulting pro-
posal. While she yet hesitated and
delayed, Winthrope came down with
a second attack of fever. Blake, who
until then had held himself sullenly
apart from him as well as from Miss
Leslie, at once softened to a gentler
or, at least, to a more considerate
mood. Though his speech and bearing
continued morose, he took upon him
self all the duties of night nurse, be-
sides working and foraging several
hours each day.
Much to Miss Leslie's surprise, she
found herself tending the invalid
through the daytime almost as though
nothing had happened. But everything
about this wild and perilous life was
SO strange and unnatural to her that
she found herself accepting the most
unconventional relations as a regular
consequence of the situation She
was feverishly eager for anything that
might occupy her mind; for she felt
that TO brood over the future might
mean madness. The mere tholeht of
the possibilities was far too terrifying
TO be calmly dwelt upon. Though
slight. there had been some little com
fort in the belief that she could rely
on Winthrope. But now she was left
alone with her doubt and dread. Even
II she had nothing to fear from Blake,
there were all the savage dangers of
the coast, and behind those. far worse,
the fever.
A little before dawn he dipped two
of his new arrow-heads In the sticky
contents OF the cigarette case. fitted
them carefully to their shafts and stole
away down the cleft. Dawn found him
crouched low in the grass where the
overflow from the pool ran out into

from him; then came the food of Grim
son light, and he made out that the
figures were drove of huge Gland.
His eyes flashed with eagerness. 1t
was long shot; but he knew that no
more was required than to pierce the
skin on any part of his quarry's body.
He put his fingers between his teeth
and sent out piercing whistle. 1t
was a trick he had tried more than
once on deer and pronghorn antelope.

He rose and shot as they were

second arrow to the string the whole
herd We're running off at a numbering
gallop. He lowered his bow and walked
after the animals, smiling with grim
anticipation. He had seen his arrow
strike against the side of the young
bull at which he had aimed.
So great was the abundance of meat
that Blake worked all the remainder
of the day and all night stringing the
flesh on the curing racks and Miss
Leslie tried out pot after pot of fat
! and tallow, until every spare vessel
was filled and she had to resort to n
hollow in the rock beside the spring

as soon as he could fetch the clay but
