REFUSE ALL SUBSTITUTES
clsely the kind OF work this whole
country needs"
His praise. sincere and generous, re-
paid her for all she had gone through.
It was q great pleasure to hear her
small self praised for courage and self
reliance by one whose daily work was
heroic. All things consmred to make
d conquest Of her heart, for the ranger
bore himself with grace and dealt with
his silver deity. His face. seen from
the side, was older and sterner than
she had thought It, but it was very at
tractive In nne.
Reddeld appealed to the ranger.
ROSS, you're all sorts Of a reaetionary.
What do you say to this? Senator
Bridges Is opposed~to ell federal inter
ference with state forests and state
game"
The forester's eyes lit up. But are
they state forests and state game?
What makes them,so1 They are lands
which the whole people purchased and
which the whole people defended"
-Heah heahT cheered Enderby.
Bridges bristled with anger and went
of into long harangue on state rights
and the dangers Of Capitalization, to
which Enderby replied: "Bosh! The
whole trouble with your bally gov
eminent Is its lack of cohesion. If I

You're such blooming asses over here.
You don't know enough to Keep a real
ly big man In your presidential chair.
This fussng about every four years is
plain rot Here's Roosevelt gets In
the midst Of lot Of the finest kind Of
reforms, you know, and directly you
go and turn him out. Then If you get
q bad man you've to wait four years
till you can fetch him a whack. Why
not arrange it SO you can pitch your

stitution is a ball and chain on your
national leg England is immeasura-
bly, better of so far as that goes"
Ross turned to Virginia, leaving the
political discussion to go on over his
head. II was back in the old island
q couple Of years ago, and you've no
idea how small it seemed to me. It
surely Is q right little, tight little
island I couldn't help wondering
whether the men In parliament were
a. important rs they seemed to think
they were md whether England n not
really an empty shell Of empire, q
memory Of what 1t once was. I
couldn't settle down there some way.
/ was homesick Cor the mountains In
q month. But what scared me most
was the pauper population Of the old
place-one In every thirty seven must
be helped. I came back to the States
gladly. I guess I'm an American I
said to my sisters"
To Lee Virginia the talk of "the
curse of democracy" and "the decay
Of empire" was unexciting, but when
Cavanagh told Of the sheepmen's ad-
vance across the dead line ON Deer
creek and Of the threats of the cat
tie owners she was better able to fol-
low the discussion. Bridges was
heartily on the side Of law and order.
for he wished to boom the state Cbeing
q heavy owner in a town site), but he
objected to Redfield's ideas Of 'bot-
Ting up the resources Of the state"
But we're not" retorted Redfeld;
"we're merely defending than against
those who would monopoli1e them.
We believe in their fullest use. but we
see no reason for giving away the re-
sources when the country needs the
revenue"
Mrs. Bedf.eld rose Al soon a. tho ST
fee came on. "You gentlemen seem
bent upon discussing matters of no In
terest to u.s." she said, 80 wen leave
you to fight 1t out alone. I'm sure
you'll all agree with Hugh in the end.
Like General Grant. he's a very OBJ.

No sooner were they seated in the
big living room than Mrs. Enderby be-
gan to relate comical stories Of her
household. Her cats had fits and ran
up the wall. Her dogs were forever
getting quilted by reason Of foolish
attacks upon porcupines, or else they
came home 50 reminiscent Of skunks
that they all but smothered the cook.
Invariably they return from encoun-
tsrs OF this kind Just as we are sitting
ut dinner" she explained. Further
more. Enderby-s bitches are habitualiy
getting clogged and overlooking the
lawn and filing the cellar. and he
stands In terror of his cowboys. When
think Of all these irruptons and dis
fractions England's order and routine
seem heavenly. But Charley finds all
this amusing. more's the pity. and
leaves me to set things in order. Most
ludicrous Of all to me is his habitual
claim that the ranch Is paying l tell
him there's an error In his bookkeep-
ing somewhere, but he assures me that
his receipts exceeded his expenditures
last year, which Is quite too incredible.
You've no idea how high wages are
and how little we raise"
