WITH THE AID or THE PRESS.
ZEE VIRGINIA was now living a
romance stranger and more star
Ting than any she had ever
- read. In Imagination she was
able TO look back and down upon the
fCrk as II she had been carried into
another world-a world that was ut
once primeval, yet peaceful; world
OF dreaming trees, singing streams ana
silent peaks; realm In which law
and order reigned. maintained by one
determined young man whose power
was derived from the president him
self. She felt safe-entirely safe-for
Just across the roaring mountain tor
rent the two intrepid guardians of the
forest were encamped One of them.

and the other was native of Eng
land. but they were both American In
the high sense of being loyal to the
federal will. and she trusted them
more unquestioningly than any other
men In all that west save only Red

others equally loyal, equally to be

She rose TO u complete understand
ing Of Cavanagffs love for "the high
country" and bis enthusiasm for the
cause, cause which was able to
bring together the student from Yale
and the graduates of Bergen and OF
Oxford and make them comrades in
preserving the trees and streams of
the mountain states against the en-
croachments of some OF their own citi-
zens. who were openly. shortsightedly
and cynically bent upon destruction,
spoliation and misuse
She had listened to the talk Of the
forester and the supervisor. and she
hnd learned nom them that Cavanagh
was sure of swift advancement now
that he had shown his courage and
his skill, and the thought that he
might leave the state to take charge
Of another forest brought her some
ned to go to Sulphur City. She had
consented to this because 1t still left
to her the possibility OF occasionally
seeing or hearing from Cavanagh. But
the thought that he might go away al
together took some OF the music out OF
the sound OF the stream and made the
future vaguely sad
For the next two days Cayanagh
slept but little. for his patient grew
steadily worse. AS the flame Of his
fever mounted. Wetherford pleaded

thought and by the use OF cold cloths
he tried to alIay the itching and the
pain.
With the coming of the third night
Wetherford was unconscious and IN

known him In the days of 'the free

There was pathetic scene at the
depot this morning when Fred and
Harry Starr left in charge of Sheriff
Tim McCluer for Canon City. Their
wives, children and mother were there
To bid them farewell, the whole party
weeping bitterly. While the prison
ers simply were reaping what they
had sown, that mattered little to their
families. Their guilt or innocence was
not the question, since family affec-
tion does not sit in judgment. Doubt
less that is what many Of the bystand-
ers thought. They did not excuse
the crime, for which the two men
were paying the penalty Of separa-
tion from those they love, and those
who love them, but there were tears
in the eyes of those who stood by,
just the same. The sentence imposed
aSAsm four to six years.

The ranger studied the small figure
before him with penetrating gaze
There was deliberate fearlessness In
the strangers face and eyes, and. not
withstanding his calm, almost languid
movement, restless energy could be
detected In his voice.

asked

They count the whole country on their

Sheriff Thomas S. Reavis left this
morning for Pueblo with Richard
Baldwin, the unfortunate man, subject
to epileptic fits, who was yesterday
Iadjudged insane in the county court.
AT certain times the poor fellow seems
las sensible as any one, but when suf-
fering from an attack is usually vio-
lent. At the depot this morning he
had fit just before time for the train
tc pull out, and his attendants were
obliged to lay him down on the north
platform until the worst was past.

BACK TO WORK
By The REV. R. L. JACKSON

A normally constituted man is al
ways glad to drop his work and go off
to some out Of the way place and for a
few weeks cultivate his innate inertia,
but If he is normally constituted, he is
always glad to come back. It is a
happy experience to so where promis-
sorry notes and bills payable and other
symbols of civilization. cease from
tro ubling, where kilograms and tele-
phone calls are glorious impossibilities
and one is conscious of an almost in
finite remoteness from ones accustom-
ed haunts. But 1t is also happy eN-
perience TO return and plunge into the
hubbub and hurly burly of those same
haunts, 10 step into the old tension and
strike the old pace. If the time Of ones
absence has been properly and there
fore profitably passed. one comes back
TO face life's battles with keener
fighting edge to solve life's problems,
with "A clearer mind and to bear life s
burdens with a stronger heart. work

One of the masters of a famous
school for boys in New England, big

me that teaching was good sport. All
work done under tolerable conditions
and in moderate amounts by people IN

preaching, buying and selling, book
keeping, drafting and what not In the

pectation and unworried ease. Life .s

According to City Solicitor Hastings, the Pub
lie Utilities Commissioners within their jurs-
diction when they directed that under the reason

The commissioners and City Solicitor Hastings
