THE MEETING
CBy HOrtense saure.)

~ HERE lies a little hamlet on the
long, white road between DomO
\ D'OssOla and LUcerne; it nestIes
just off the foot Of the pass, snug
enough in a curve of the road, where
the waterfall tumbIes drOwsily over
worn stones, ana shrine marks halt
by the way.
Few travellers pass through, and the
hroOding silence is only broken by the
tinkle of a mule cart or the OccaS-
iOnal tOlling of the convent bell.
Once upon time the people Of that
little hamlet cOngregated at the foot
of the shrine to wait; their eyes turned
in one direction, turned towards the
grey convent named after St Agatha
their one hope in this life and the
next.
once each year the blessed sisters
came out to bless their shrine; once
a year had these poor, earthbOund
peasants a glimpse of the mysteries
of this holy Order-a chance to obtain
redress from their misfOrtunes-and
a sight Of such holiness and beauty
that it marked an event in their dull
lives. At last the great bell tOued the
hour, and the convent gates swung
back Two by two the quiet, black
figures emerged into the summer sun
shine. With the image of our lady
borne in front, they walked barefoot,
down the narrow village street, with
slow measured steps, bent heads, and
meekly folded hands. In hushed rev
erence the peasants fell upon their
knees. their rough, toil-stained hands
clasped upwards, silently asking for
blessings.
Sister Teresa walked alOne-carry-
ing the blessed relic that could cure
earthly ills and which she must lay at
the shrine. Of all the sisters she was
the hottest, the most spiritual-the
nearest to heaven. As the sisters drew
near the shrine they began to chant
in sad. low tones, "AIiserere mel deus.
Suddenly a harsh sound disturbed the
eXpectant throng-an unWOnted sound
the tramping Of heavy feet Tramp
tramp tramp!
The startled group of nuns and peas
ants then saw a party Of men swing
round a curve in the road, making to-
wards the hills; a compact closely

What's the cause? The cold
weather, according to the board,
and their explanation is simple,
and>the CONSUMER is, too, if7he ac-'
cepts it. The board says the cold
weather has caused the cows to
give less than their normal output
of milk. That's all.
The actual reason, though, it
is said, is that a committee re-
ported to the board that the mar
ket would stand for the increased
price. They'll stand it all right,
but will they deliver?
The high price was cause for
considerable surprise, but it was
increased by the fact of the gov
ernment's investigation of the
butter board. It's books and rec
ords were demanded by federal
authorities last week, it being the
intention to use the documents in

to learn whether the law has been

Government Turned Over to State
$4,000 from land Sales.


Denver.-It is claimed by the State
Highway Commission that exclusive
OF the appropriation to be asked Of
the Legislature to carry on its work
next year, there will be available in
the state treasury about 100000 for
work on roads throughout the state by
the first Of the year.
OF this amount $1S,552.63 was
turned over by the land board on
leases and land sales for October. For
November. the receipts are expected
to reach $4,000, which will be added to
the general fund.
The United States government has
turned over to the commission a check
for $15.355.24. representing five per
cent. Of the total receipts from public
land sales during the year ending June
30. 1912. The commission is endeavor.
ing to secure part or all OF the $780,.
