WEDDING CHIMES

But Edmunds head only shook re
gretfully.

the air like a cricket. DO you

with my girl and not married t,r'
You horned toad, I'll shoot You"
In an instant Gladys had thrust
nerself between them.
III isn't his fault, daddy. You see,
the cnly justice Of the peace here
is down with hydrophobia and the
clerk of the court has taken adran-
tage of the situation to elope with
the Justices wife, so we couldn't
even get a license, let alone get
married"
Wash struck the earth again and
showed his gun back to place, and
as he did so an inspiration again hit
me.
"Mr. Strong, l believe you are al
so a justice" | ventured suarely.
He nodded.
And you, Mr.. Rideout are deputy
clerk Of the court of this county
He knew better than deny it, so
4 continued, comforting as soothing
syrup.
The solution of the problem IS
rudimentally simple. Mr.. Rideout
deals out the marriage-license and
Mr.. Strong pulls off the solemn GER
emony. Alf, here, is the proud best
man. Red, in his flowing coat, the
blushing bridesmaid, and / the com

Both Red and ALI became clam
orous with enthusiasm, but the other
two only looked gloomy.
Il haven't any hcence-forms with
me except gambling ng-licenses,' grum-
bled Wash, fumbling in his pockets.
| settled that difficulty instanter.
"Ain't marriage a gamble? Just fill
out one of them to suit the case and
see how it reads"
So We all went into the Palace
and borrowed the inkwell and went
to work On that license. When we
had finished, it was in words and
figures just about as follows:

if old Wash wasn't snuffling around

Wash reached for it again and did
some thoughtful writing on the re-

that certificate was good at any
bank in Nevada for ten thousand
dollars. Neither was that the mean

necessary relaxation. For it was one of
his maxims that man may act as
heartlessly as he likes. but to be success
full he must never let himself grow heart
less. From the moment that he ceases
to be capable Of feeling he loses touch
with the thoughts and sensibilities Of
others And his power Of feeling with"
others was one of Travers' chief business
assets.
1t is dangerous. however. to play with
emotions that are never to be allowed an
active influence. They have trick of
growing by leaps and bounds. and before
the will has time to realize that an enemy

Travers came that morning to yielding
to himself he never knew. Lois happy,
thankful face hovered constantly before
his eyes, He felt very tender toward her.
He felt that he should like to be able to
think of her in the keeping Of a good man
like Stafford-who, IL pig-headed and
bigoted, was yet calculated to stick to a
woman and make her happy. Looking
straight at himself and his past Travers
could not be sure that he would stick to
any one. Also there was the ra1ah. opti-
mistic and trusting. SO much SO that it
left an unpleasant taste in the mouth to
fool him.

But above all else. there was Lois. Lois

But above all else, there was LOIS. LOIS
required to him constantly, overshadow-
ing every other consideration. He thought
of her in all her aspects: Lois, the en-
terprising, the energetic. plucky, dare
devil comrade; Lois, the ever-ready. un-
firing. uncompiaining partner in the hunt,
on the tennis court, In the ballroom;
Lois. the woman, with her gentle charm,
her tenderness, her frankness, her truth.
He bit his lip. turning away from the
sunshine with knitted brows and fierce
eyes. No. it Is no light matter to trifie
with the heart, even il 1t is only ones
own. Nor is it wise for q man, set on q
cool. calculating task Of self-advance-
ment, to call up waters from his hidden
wells Of tenderness, or to allow q nature
strangely susceptible (as even the worst
natures are) to the appeal OF the good
and beautiful to have full play. If only
for q brief hour. Another five minutes
undisturbed in that splendid hall. with
Gods divine world before him and the
highest, purest art OF man about him,

The Western Woman.
From ColliG'A

The resident Of the Atlantic seaboard
who does the travelling eastward toward
Paris misses the opportunity of learninS Z
that the far-western woman dresses with
as much taste and as winsomely as wom-
en- anywhere. Her talk is entertaining
and witty. She has all the better ones of
those qualities which are commonly
spoken of as breezy. She discusses poll
tics, part of every westerners religion.
She knows the vital themes Of the day
and this without apparent neglect of chill
dren or family responsibilities. She has
inherited the spirit OF her pioneer ances-
tors. a character-building race that had
the saving grace Of humor. The culture
of the average western home has not in
frequently surprised the guest from Phil
adelphia or Boston-not in Denver, Port

to find finish. but in Cheyenne, Fargo and
