HIS LOVE BEYOND A DOUBT
Surely Impossible to Ask Further Proof After This Really Sublime
 Declaration.

''Do you love me-" he asked.
 In reply the modern young girl looked at the modern young man with eyes perferyid with emotion.
 Do love you?" she repeated. T do. love you psychologically, socio- logically, economically. From the psychologist standpoint, feel that our different organisms are so nicely diff. ferentiated as to form Q properly ar- ticulated area of combined conscious ness. Sociologically, our individual environment has been enough in con- trast to form a proper basis for a right union. Economically, l feel sure that when we come to combine we shall b. able to introduce into the management of our affairs the right financial balance to produce the scien- tific result which every well-ordered and conducted business produces. And now, how do voc love me?"
 The young man reached forward. He clasped her swiftly but surely in his arms. He hngged her and kissed her alabaster cheeks and her ruby lips.
 @How do I love you?" he replied. My dear girl, love you just as much as if you really knew what you were talking about"

HUNTING WITH THE FALCON
ktrohiz, More Than Any Other Pco. pie, Probably Garry This Sport
 to an Extreme.

All wanderers are lovers of the chase, but for sheer love C sport and daring exploits the kirghiz take the palm. Central Asia is the home of fanconry. which was not introduced into Europe until the crusaders brought back falcons with them from their eastern wanderings. But i'm. agine the ambition of the men who fly their birds at wolves and foxes instead of at quails and cartridges! 1! Not content with hunting game birds with small falcons, the Kirghiz cap ture and train the great golden eagles, with which they hunt such game as gazelles. foxes and even wolves.
 A we'll mounted Kirghiz falconer, carrying on his wrist one of these magnificent birds, Is a fine sight. The weight of the eagle is such that the owner requires support for his wrist, and the hunters are usually to be seen with a little wooden bracket that supports the arm against the hip. The eagles are hooded, as all falcons are, but can be used only in winter, when they are hungry and keen. In summer they are fed on lnarmots aud live a restful life, sit ting in the sun in front of the tent doors.
 When gazelles or wolves are the objects of the chase the eagles are aided by long sleek greyhounds of a small breed. the dogs running in and pulling down the quarry when the eagles have sufficiently bewi;dered 1t.

ADDED TO THE GOOD TIME,
Bear Story, Though Short, Was a Thing of Consequence to Those
 Silent Mountaineers.

There were six stalwart pioneers Virginia, long before the war. when there wasn't "a stick amiss" and hunting was good. They were brothers and their name was Phillips.
 Each fall after hog-killing time they held a family reunion. at which a feast fit for the gods was partaken of in silence. except for the blessing, which was always asked by the cid est brother. They did not believe fin much talk or levity. When they spoke 1t was usually in monosyllables. After dinner they would sit around the big log fireplace, tilted back in split bot tom chairs. and smoke their corncob pipes in silence until 1t was time to go home and do the chores.
 At one of the reunions something of unusual interest occurred-one of the boys told bear story. While sitting around the fire smoking one of the brothers pushed up his sleeve, exposing badly lacerated arm The five gazed at it in respectful silence for a few moments. Their experience in the mountains told them that their brother had hand to hand fight with bear. One of them opened the ensuing dialogue with:
 "Um-mph-bar?"
 "Yea-ah."
 "Whar?"
 lover thar,'' jerking his thumb back over his shoulder in the direc- ton of Beech mountain.
 After this bear story of five words they smoked in silence until 1t was time to go home. For months after that reunion they would remark to visiting neighbors that they had "a powerful fine time at Eben's re- union."
 It was remarkable. because they had had bear story in addition to the blessing. which was a powerful lot of talk for these silent men.
