meadows and the painted farmhouses
thickened beneath them. Strange how
significant all these signs were now.
A few days ago they had appeared
doubtful improvements. now they rep
resented the oncoming dominion Of the
east. They meant cleanliness and de-
cent speech. good bread and sweet
butter
Redfield swept through the town,
then turned up the stream directly to-
ward the high wall of the range, which
was ragged and abrupt ut this point.
They passed several charming farm
houses, and the western sky grew ever
more glorious with its plum color and
saffron, and the range reasserted its
mastery over the girl At last they
came to the very jaws of the canyon,
and there, in deep natural grove of
lofty cottonwood trees. Redfield passed
before q high rustic gate which mark
ed the beginning of his estate. The
driveway was of gravel and the inter
mingling of transplanted shrubs and
pine trees showed the care of the pro
fessional gardener.
The house was far from being a
castle Indeed. it was very like a
house in Bryn Mawr, except that it
was built entirely of half hewn logs.
with wide projecting roof. Giant
hydrangeas and other Towering shrubs
bordered the drive. and on the rustic
terrace lady in white was waiting
Redfeld slowed down and scrambled
ungraeefully out. But his voice was
charming rs he said: Eleanor, this

Mrs. Redfield quite as urban as the
house. was Il slim little woman of del
icate habit, very far from the ordinary
conception of rancher's Wife Her
manner was politely considerate. but
not heatedly cordial uhe visitor was
not precisely hers. and. though she
warmed little after looking into fir-
ginia's face. she could not by any
stretch of phrase be called cordial
Are You tired? Would you like TO

"Oh. no, indeed. Nothing ever tires

does il matter? Each year sees the
old west diminish. and already, in the
work Of the forest service, law and or
der advance. notwithstanding ali the
shouting of herders and the beating
to death of sheep. no hostile shot has
ever been fired within the bounds of
national forest. In the work of the
forest rangers lies the hope of ultimate
peace and order over all the public
lands.
The girl fell silent again, her mind
filled with larger conceptions of life
than her judgment had hitherto been
called upon to meet. She knew that
Redfield was right. and yet that world
of the past-the world of the swift
herdsman and his trampling, long
horned, half wild kine-still appealed
to her imagination. The west OF her
girlhood seemed heroic in memory.
Even the quiet account of it TO which
she had just listened could not conceal
its epic largeness of movement. The
part which troubled her most was her
fathers tfeachery to his neighbors.
That he should fight. that he should
kill men in honorable warfare, she
could understand but not his recrean-
CIV. his desertion of her mother and
herself.
She came back to dwell at last on
the action of that slim young soldier
who had calmly ridden through the
Infatuated mob. She remembered that
she had thrilled even then 1T the
vague and impersonal power which he
represented. To her childish mind he
seemed TO bear a charm, like the he
roes of her story Understanding
which made him invulnerable.
After long pause Rediield spoke
again. "rhe memory Of your father
will make life for time bit hard

The house was not precisely the pal
ace the cowboy had reported ii TO be-
but it was charminsly decorated, and
the furnishings were tasteful. To the
girl it was as if she had been trans

horrible little COW town back to the

GOMPERS ISSUES
 PUBLIC LETTER
GIVES NATION WIDE PUBLICITY
 TO FINDING OF m'NAMARA .-- TENSE COMMITTEE.
Concludes Statement With Admoni. ton to Laboring Men to
 Organize.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, tonight sent to labor unions throughout the country to high officials of the government and to employers associations copies of the statement issued last Saturday by the McNamara ways and means committee, following the confessions of the dynamiters at Los Angeles. The salient points in the statement were made public at the time, but MT. Gompers accompanies the copies with a letter to organized labor.
 The letter declares that the Me- Namara affair has been seized upon by enemies of organized labor to crush it.
 Every union member deplores vio- lenee and crime" says Mir. Gompers, whether committed by an ordinary outlaw, by corporation director or agent. or by so-called union man. Labor resents the insinuauon that because one or two union members become criminally. fanatieal or fam atically criminal, that the rank and file. and the officers of the labor movement. are responsible either Ie- galIy or morally"
 The letter closes with request that the statement be read and insert ed in the minutes of every union and adds:
 Grit your teeth and organize. or ganize!

LOAN IS PROTESTED.
Chinese Minister Enters Protest at
 at Washington.

Washington, Dec. 13. -Wu Ting Fang's protest against the making of any loan to the Chinese ImperiaI- ists has been received, not only by the department of state but by some of the New York banking interests, which have heretofore been concern. ed in financing oriental governments. Wu asserts in substance that if Am erica or Americans participate in a loan of $50.00O.000 to the ImperiA- istic gover1ment, the fact must be regarded by the revolutionary forces as decided evidence of partiality. He asserts that the money realized from the loan is to. be used by the imperlaiists to bolster up their wan Ing power and not to carry out tho development of the country.
 The state department has referred MT. Wu's communication to Amerl- can Minister Calhoun at rekiilg for his information.

E Ais innn. cent and harmless move Of the Amer ican League appears to me to have been devised to divert the attention of the public from Johnson's failure to make good his charges against the New York club said John T. Brush, president of the New York Nationals in signal statement here too2y, re- ferrng to the breaking of negotia- tions between the major leagues in the matter of world championships.
 Several times l have invited him to tell what he knew" said Brush, but ne didn't comply"
 The Cincinnati peace compact of 1903 did two things. according to the chief executive of the Giants. 1t established the territorial rights oi the two major leagues and the status of the players at that time.
 "There Is not line or deelara-
 
 ton in the two American League res oluiions" continued MT. Brush. that could not have been adopted at any time during the past seven or eight years by either major league and their status under the national agreement would not have been changed one icta. x;
 In explaining territorial and play CT rights, 1t reserves all the rlgnrs it ever had unrer the peace compact and the National Agreement.
 Newspapers have been burdened with Johnsons outraged feelings over the sale of tickets in New York and they credited him with saying that he would startle' tie baseball world. with his expose vi en the investiga- tion took place. Several times i have invited hiT to tell what he. knew. but he did not comply. He then invoked the aid of the commission and the de tective system of New York City and failed, and at last in his retreat he has passed the whole business UP to the general public to furnish the proof and he had disappeared behind the resolutions"
