CHAPTER xi.-contlnued.

Daylight could not persuade him
self to keep to the travelled roads
that day, and another cut across coun-
try to Glen Ellen brought him upon
a canyon that so blocked his way that
he was glad to follow friendly cow
path. This led him to a small frame
cabin. The doors and windows were
open. and a cat was nursing q litter
OF kittens in the doorway. but no one
seemed at home He descended the
trail that evidently crossed the can
yon. Part way down. he met an old
man coming up through the sunset.
In his hand he carried pail of foamy
milk. He wore no hat, and In his
face. framed with snow-white hair and
beard. was the ruddy glow and con-
tent OF the passing summer day.
Daylight thought that he had never
seen so contented looking being.
How old are you. daddy?" he quer-
led
"Eighty-four." was the reply. YES.

The old man shifted the pail OF milk

most to death. This is good enough
for me. I've been right here in this
valley since '54-one of the first set

The old man chuckled, and Day
light rode on. singularly at peace with
himself and all the world. II seemed
that the old contentment of trail and
camp he had known on the Yukon
had come back to him. He could not
shake from his eyes the picture of
the old pioneer coming up the trail
through the sunset light. He was GER
tainly going some for eighty-four. The
thought OF following his example en-.
tered Daylight's mind. but the big
game OF San Francisco vetoed the

ranch. and as soon as he got back to
the office he would open up nego1a-

The time passed, and he played on
at the game. San Francisco's atti-
tude toward Daylight had undergone
change. While he, with his slashing
buccaneer methods, was a distinct
menace TO the more orthodox finan-
cial gamblers, he was nevertheless so
grave menace that they were glad
enough to let him alone. He had al
ready taught them the excellence Of
letting a sleeping dog lie.
Dede Mason was still in the office.

him pleasant memory of what had

essential nature, he was barred from

At A. & NJ. COLLEGE

Egypt and the Holy Land.

The work of the College Y. NJ. C. A.
is moving along under favorable aus
pices. General Secretary Frank D.
Steger spent the summer abroad,
travelling through southern Europe,
Egypt and the Holy Land, and has
returned to the work with renewed
zeal and enthusiasm. He has outlined
a broader association policy and ex-
poets the Y. M. c. A. to accomplish
great results among the students dur
ing the year. The membership COM
mittee, headed by R. A. Kern, one of
the football stars, has been active
since the opening of school, and a
large number of freshmen have been
added to the roll, in addition to the
old members. The important work of
organizing the Bible study groups is
under way, and mission study classes
will soon be organized.
The cornerstone of the new $4,000
Y. M. C. A. building at the college
was laid last spring, and the base
ment floor of the structure has been
partially completed, but nothing has
been done toward finishing the work
for several weeks on account of a
lack of funds. Money enough to COM
plete the second story is now in the
hands of Treasurer E. B. Cushing of
Houston, and the contractors will be-
gin work again as soon as material
can be assembled. The building,
which is being erected by popular
subscription, will be one of the most
attractive structures on the campus,
both in design and finish.

The death of Mother Superior Mary
OF the Cross was unparalleled in
heroic courage. She returned to the
dormitory when she heard the Moth
low baby crying. 1t had been forgot

a few moments she appeared at an

her arms. Fire Chief Wright at

but second later the wall collapsed,

Sister Mary Kostka Farrell jumped
from fourth-story window, stumbling
on a window sill and pitching head
foremost to the ground where she
missed the life net held by firemen.
Her back was broken when she struck
a second-story railing which threw
her out of line OF the net.
Sister Montez also lost her life by
jumping. When the children were
taken off the fire escape she returned
for a last look in the dormitory. and
the flames then cut off her escape.
