WANTS INTEREST MANY

There's no part of the daily
paper that's more carefully read
i'm the home than the Want Col
umns. The business man and en-
ployer of labor read the Wants
when in need of an assistant or a
worker in their business. The
housewife reads the Wants when
in need of a maid OF other serv-
ant. or often when wishing To
secure some particular article at
most advantageous price.
The Wants appeal to those i'm

of aid in supplying some need
that's pressing and immediate.

solving domestic and business
problems as they come-you'll e

Pathetic Reminder OF an Attempt to

Rcfilling his pipe and leaving a trail
Of smoke behind him he set out boldly
for st. James. When he came to the
three graves he stopped, remember.
ing that Obadiah had said they were
his graves. A sort of grim horror be-
gan to stir at his soul as he gazed on
the grass-grown mounds-proofs that
the old councillor would inherit a place
in the Mormon heaven, having obeyed
the injunctions Of his prophet on
earth. Nathaniel now understood the
meaning of his words of the night be-
fore. This was the family burying
ground Of the old councillor.
He walked on, trying in vain to con-
centrate his mind solely upon the
business that was ahead OF him. A
few days before he would have count
ed this walk to st. James n of the
events of his life. Now it had lost it's
fascination. Despite his efforts to de-
stroy the vision OF the beautiful face
thai bad looked at him through the
kings window it's memory still haunt
ed him. The eyes, soft with appeal;
the red mouth, quivering, and with
lips parted as If about to speak to
him; the bowed head with it's tum,
bled glory of hair-all had burned
themselves upon his soul in a picture
too deep to be eradicated. II st.
James was interesting now it was be-
cause that face was a part of it, be-
cause the secret of it's life, of the
misery that it had confessed to him,
was hidden somewhere down there
among it's scattered log homes.
Slowly he made his way down the
slope in the direction of Strang's cas-
tie. the tower of which, surmounted
by its great beacon, glistened in the
morning sun. He would find Strang
there. And there would be one chance
in a thousand Of seeing the girl-if
Obadiah had spoken the truth. AS he
passed down he met men and boys
coming up the slope and others NOV
ing along at the bottom OF it, all &c
ing toward the interior of the island.
They had shovels or rakes or noes
upon their shoulders and he guessed
that the Mormon fields were in that
direction; others bore axes: and now
and then wagons. many of them drawn
by oxen, left the town over the road
that ran ear the shore of the lake.
Those whom he met stared at him
%curiously, much interested evidently
in the appearance of a stranger. Ma
thaniel paid but small heed to them.

Few Days Before He Would Have
Counted This Walk to ST.. James
One of the Events of His Life.

As he entered the grove through
which the councillor had guided him
the night before his eagerness be-
came almost excitement. He APP
preached the great. log house swiftly
but cautiously, keeping as much from
view as possible. AS he came under
the window through which he had
looked upon the king and his wives
his heart leaped with anticipation,
with hope that was strangely mingled
with fear. For only a moment he
paused to listen, and Notwithstanding
the seriousness OF his position he
could not repress a smile as there.
came to his ears the crying of chill
dren and the high angry voice of a
woman. He passed around to the
front Of the house. The door Of
Strang's castle was wide open and In
guarded. No n had seer his ap-
preach; no one accosted him as he
mounted the low steps; there was no
one In the room into which he gazed
a moment later. 1t was the great hall
into which he had spfed a few hours
previous. There was the long table
with the big book on it, the lamp
whose light had bathed the girls
mead in a halo Of glory, the very chair
in which he had found her sitting!
He was conscious of a throbbing in
his breast, a longing to call our-if he
only knew her name.
In the room there were four closed
doors and it was from beyond these
that there came to him the wailing of
children. A fifth door was open and
through it he saw a cradle gently
rocking. Here at last was visible life,
or motion at least, and he knocked
loudly. Very gradually the cradle
ceased its movement. Then it stopped,
and a woman came out into the larger
room. In a moment Nathaniel recog-
nized her as the one who had placed
a caressing hand upon the bowed
head Of the sobbing girl the night be-
fore. Her face was of pathetic beau
ty. Its Wilderness was startling. Her
eyes shone with ar unhealthy luster,
and her dark hair. falling in heavy
curls over her shoulder, added to the
wonderful pallor of her cheeks.
Nathaniel bowed. Il beg your par
don. madam; / came to see MI.
Strang," he said.
You will find the king at his Of
fee" she replied.
The woman's voice was low, but SO
sweet that it was like music to the
a r AS she spoke she came nearer
and a faint flush appeared in the
transparency of her cheek.
Why do you wish to see the king?"
she asked.

are sotol and lecheguilla. The only re-
lief from the alkali desert scenery is
the Chisos Mountain range, so miles
distant. Where the settler obtained
any water is a mystery.
Practically all of this unsold land is
situated in the region west of the
Pecos river and bordering on the Rio
Grande. Mr.. Robinson says that a
large part of the four million acres is
mountainous and unfit for farming
and that the remainder is a desert
for lack of water. He travelled dis
tances of so to SO miles without find-
ing a sign of water.
Mr.. Robinson says he came across
many such evidences of efforts to
homestead the land. He thinks much
of the territory can be sold to adjoin-
ing ranch owners
that the state will obtain very big
prices for the four million acres Of
public domain ii it should be placed
on the market. It Is his opinion that
much Of it will be purchased by men
who may be able to use portions of it
to some advantage for ranching pur-
poses.
With the disposal of this remaining
part of the public domain the state of
Texas will be in position soon to re-
tire from the land business. The land
office will have to be maintained for
a few years longer. perhaps, to attend
to the forfeiture and resale of such
lands as are not paid out on by the
homesteaders now residing thereon.
