was too quick and backed into the bushes with the box securely behind him.
 Well, nanny, what's up?" he asked as pleasantly as he could con- sidering that the girl and the trap had entirely disappeared from sight.
 Whats up?" she sputtered wrath fully. "Ah'll show you, young man, what's up if you don't hand back that there ban box, What you thinkin' of-a nice respectable young man a-runnin' off with a lady's best bonnet? Give me that ban boxw she commanded as Gregory showed no signs of yielding to her orders.
 I'm sorry, nanny, but this band- box belongs to young lady who has" he was beginning when she interrupted him.
 That there hat belong to nobody 'cept me, mister it's mine and I can prove it." she said solemnly rolling her eyes at him.
 If you can prove it l will gladly turn 1t over to you," returned the exasperated young man. "Only, I would like to suggest, nanny, that hereafter you avoid such cartwheel hats as this one must bep'
 "You mind yo' business, young man," said the woman, sternly. Now, I can shut my eyes an tell all about that hat an you can open the box an if it ain't so, I'll eat my words"

 Gregory stared at her as he re- moved the lid of the blue bandbox and disclosed just such hat as nanny had described. It was trifle faded here and there, and it

delightful glimpses of the richly tinted autumn foliage.
 He had gone perhaps a quarter of mile when there was the sharp rattle of hoofs on the hard road, and the little trap passed him swiftly, the blue bandbox swaying perilously.
 He watched her gain the rise be- yond and then she disappeared in the depression of the road, only to be silhouetted against the sky at the next hill As he walked down into this first depression his eyes fell upon the blue bandbox lying in the dust where it had spilled from the cart. He picked it up by the string that fastened it and walked on, quite confident that the girl would miss the box and return for it. He was not displeased at the opportuni ty afforded him of meeting the pretty girl.
 When he next saw the cart 1t was still bowling smoothly along the road ahead of him, and the girl ap- peared not to have missed the blue bandbox from the seat. To Gregory this was perplexing because she had appeared so solicitous concerning its welfare.
 The bandbox was light and prob ably contained one of those lacy cre- ations that are beloved of just this sort of pretty girl, decided Gregory as he hastened along the road.
 The trap still kept about twenty rods in advance of his hurrying feet and gained little whenever he panted up hill and lost trifle as he sped down the next incline. Once he shouted, but met with no re- sponse and, keenly conscious of the absurd appearance he must present as his stride hastened to a dog trot. he was silent.
 Occasionally he paused to mop his heated face, and once he stopped to drink from wayside spring, but each delay only increased the dis tance between the blue bandbox and its fair owner.
 At last he stopped and, turning around as he famed himself with his hat, he was conscious that some body was following him as industri- ously as he was pursuing the girl of the blue bandbox. Lumbering along the road behind him was a large fat negress who shook threat ening fist in his direction, while her other hand beckoned him to pause in his steps. As she came up to him she glanced fiercely at him and swooped to snatch the bandbox from the ground beside him, but Gregory

 "Fo' de lam sake, young man, you don't think I'm goin' to wear that hat ?"
 You said it was yours," said Gregory, still more mystifed.
 "lt's fo' my gal, Evalina," ex- plained the woman proudly. "It was give to me by Miss Helen, Judge Mershon's daughter. I use to work up to the big house before Evalina got city job. 1 lives back in the woods an Miss Helen says to me this mawnin'. 'Aunty, I've got love of hat comin' from town this maw- nin' an on my way back from the station I'll throw the bandbox as near the path to your house as l can, and you can come out and get it. and inside you'll find that blue for git-me-not hat that Evalina admired so much. I'll wear that new hat home myself. So you, sah, she wored that blue hat to the station, and very likely she looked the new hat out of the box and changed 'em, and she flung the bandbox near my foot path. When 1 come out you was a. racin' up the road like all possessed with my new hat" She threw back her head and laughed heartily, and as Gregory joined her he was con-

as United States senator from I'LL
nois, will rest in the hands Of United
States Senator Shelby NJ. cullom. Lor-
inner and anti-Lorimer members OF
the state legislature begun today de-
luging the senior senator with letters
and kilograms seeking to Influence his
vote.
The politicians here figure that the
vote on Lorimer, with Cullom not vot-
ing, will be tied AZ to 49, They de.
clare therefore that as Cullom will
have the deciding vote II is proper
that Illinois should be left to decide
whether II wishes to retain or to dis
miss Lorimer and so the Lorimer men
began quietly sending hundreds OF let
tiers and kilograms to Collum. The an
ti-Lorimer forces, anticipating such q
move, sought to counter balance by
sending more letters and telegrams
The result has been that nearly every
member OF the Legislature Is urging
his constituents to write to Senator

Chicago. Feb. s, 1911.
Dear Sirs:
We are enclosing you the first 1911
New Mexico article, by Governor
Mills. printed In the Chicago Tribune
Feb. G. This is one OF series of
development articles which the Trib-
une is printing In order to further
stimulate the great back to the land
movement" which has been created In
Chicago and the middle west by the
land show
New Mexico had wonderful exhibit
at the last land show under the aus
pices OF the New Mexico bureau OF
immigration. The Rock Island, Santa
Fe and Southern Pacific railroads help
ed to exploit New Mexico. Many
different sections were represented Inc
GLIDING Portales, Roswell. Artesia, Me
silla valley. Carlsbad, Deming, Las
Vegas. Santa Fe and Albuquerque.
Colfax county had n large mineral as
well as apple and general farming
exhibit at the land show, and 1t was
excellent. New Mexico had probably
the most comprehensive visit at the
land show and II was so popular that
the aisles In front OF the New Mexico
exhibit will have to be enlarged next
year.
Mr.. II. B. Henning. secretary OF the
bureau. Albuquerque. N. NJ. Is tho
man responsible for getting together
the many interests which made New
Mexico's part OF the land show SO i'm
portant. He was In charge OF the sxer-
cises on New Mexico day" which
were also a great success.
We suggest that for the next land
show that the men interested In the
development of New Mexico should
have another large community exhibit
under the auspices OF the New Mexi-
co bureau of immigration. The rail-
roads will, undoubtedly, be interested
in aiding, In various ways. n New Mex
leo exhibit as they have gladly done
heretofore. These railroads have as.
sured us that they want New Mexico
as well represented, II not better. In
| 1911.
VIII you let us know what you think
OF having your community represented
in the next land show? We would like
to have you take up the matter with
your local commercial organization
and with the state bureau OF irnmi-
grafton. A booklet is now In the
press describing the land show Of 1910.
We would be glad to send you this on
application. together with all other In
