Linda Gray was walking in the
Hillcrest woods. The oaks and chest
nuts reared their heads toward the
sky and their tall, straight trunks
formed clean-cut aisles : through the
dim shadows. Under foot the leaves

wrinkled carpet, broken here and
there by a tangie Of cat-brisr or .
clump. of dark green laurel.
Hillcrest was the property Of young
Joshua Hill. who had never visited the
place since he had inherited 1t from
a bachelor uncle. The people in the
little village at the foot Of the hill
were severe in their denunciations Of
the young millionaire who neglected
fine piece Of property. II Hillcrest
were occupied and its farm-houses
busy with farmers and dairy-men; If
the great stables were filled with
horses and the extensive grounds well
kept up-then. said the people Of
Crestville, would there be plenty Of
work for all of them. The occupation
of Hillcrest meant prosperity in the
village.
Linda Gray had heard all these ar.
guments hundred times; her father
was rector of the church and many
complaints came to him. Linda had
listened and sympathized and finally
grown very indignant with the care
less owner of Hillcrest.
She was thinking of him this very
afternoon as she strolled through the
woods, the dappled shadows adding
to the varying expressions Of her face.
Her dark eyes flashed and softened
and her brown hair glimmered with a
thousand golden lights. Her pink or
candle gown threw deeper rose tints
into her cheeks.
Suddenly her steps were stayed. An
inquisitive cat-brier had reached out
and caught the delicate fabric of her
skirts in a ruthless grasp. Linda
turned to release herself and became
more entangled in the brier.
There came quick foot fall on the
leaves accompanied by grave, pleas
ant voice. MAY I help your"
"Oh. thank you," said Linda, looking
up to discover strange young man
bending above the offending brier.

which rightly belonged to his neigh
boris estate. He brought out his
deeds, gave the matter a minutes at
tention and replied:
Eyes, Of course-of course. Matters
do get tangled up in the course of q
hundred years. Go ahead and take
all the land you want"
At the rear end of "The Brambles"
was dell. Some folks might not
have called it dell, but Miss Hattie
did. At least, it was shady spot to
which she retired on hot day to read,
think or write poem. 1t was her
very own dell. No other person had
a moral or legal right there If Aunt
Jane wanted her at the house when
she was in her dell she had to go to
the back door and utter a long, qua
vering yell-sometimes two or three
of them. The yells drove away the
romance, but they brought the young
lady.
In due time the week was up and
Miss Hattie and Aunt Jane returned.
The professor said, "Howdy-do" and
let it go at that. Not word about
the new man at "The Oaks" the sur
vey Or the loss of the ground!
Next morning the girl tripped down
the path to her dell She had been
lonesome for it. Where was it? She
stopped short and gazed around her

Strayed! Stolen! Abducted! Yes.
there was the spot where a dell had
been, but never a dell there now!
Trees cut down or trimmed-bushes
uprooted-the wild cucumber vines
dead or dying! Sacrilege of the most
awful sort! Aunt Jane didn't have to
yell to bring the astonished and indig-
nant girl back to the house. She
came on the canter and sought out her
father and exclaimed:
How could you do it-oh, how
could you!"
"Ahem! Plus six-minus two and
the quotient is sixteen. All, it's you?
I meant to tell you that we've lost a
strip of land. It belonged to the
young man."
"But who is he?" VI

The Carney estate had been divid.
ed up among the heirs after long liti-
cation, and young Harold had taken
possession of "The Oaks" They be-
gan calling him Young" when he was
young, and although he had arrived at
the age Of twenty-four he was called
young Carney" oftener tian Harold.
"The Oaks" was q fine old manor
house and grounds. but the place had
been neglected. To make a survey
and see II all the land was there was
the first thing to do; the next was
to clear up the ground and make re-
pairs.
The house and grounds to the west
constituted "The Brambles." There
was a young woman in this house.
Professor hansen, wilower and own
er, would have called it "The Briars"
or THE Thistles," but his only child
and daughter had brought him to q
halt Thistles, briars, burdocks and
pig-weeds are not romantic. Bran
bles are. They signify a sort of tan
gle, but not too much.
Father, daughter and Aunt Jane had
read and heard that "The Oaks" was
to have permanent tenant in one of
the heirs, but had not been curious
about it. The professor was compil-
ing new arithmetic and gave little
heed to the world, and the sister and
daughter didn't see how the change
was to make any change in their daily
lives.
When one has come into possession
of land the wise thing is to have
surveyor run the lines and see If they
agree with the deed. 1t is only polite
to call on the party next door and see
If he has any objection. Mr.. Carney
called on Professor hansen and stated
his case
"Why, with all my heart" was the
reply as the professor went back to
his figures.
Miss Hattie and Aunt Jane were not
at home. AS matter of fact, they
were away for week. One call on
the professor was sufficient to start
the surveyor at work, but it needed
a second to inform the man of figures
that he was occupying a strip FIVE
feet wide and two hundred feet long

When Colonel Glider had been
called to town that morning on bust
ness, leaving his daughter F1oy and
. the cook to care for the house, he had
said to the girl before leaving:
Daughter, remember what have

Importance Of Church Col
Habits.

1t has been found by investiga-
tors Of jails, warehouses; and
prisons that a majority Of the in
mates have been Sunday school
scholars at sometime but very few
of them had the church going
habit. The Sunday school habit
is good'if persisted in; but unless
the Sunday school pupil is brought
into the church services and
trained to the habit of church at
tendance the Sunday school can't
hold him long. He soon drifts
away and its influence is lost.
Every child in this community and
in every community has a right to
be trained in the church going
habit. The best characters in
every community l have been ac-
quainted with were church goers.
Parents! If you want your child
to grow up with good character
as the best part of his equipment,
train him to attend church with
you, and sit with you as you wcr-
ship God with His people. If you
have lost the habit by neglect,
acquire it again! 1t is habit too
valuable to lose. Every reader Of
this paper knows that a commune
ty without churches would be
poor one to live in. 1t would be a
bad place in which to rear children.
But a good active church is a
blessing to any community. 1t is
creator and preserver Of good
order and uplifting influences.
Such a church cannot exist with
out a membership of active Christ
ian people, and the membership
cannot be kept up unless the peo-
pie attend church. A church
building empty and shut up is a
disgrace to its membership, and
no use to the community. So let
us fill up our Rathdrum churches
and train our children to love them
and attend them, and help make
this beautiful village what it ought
to be.-W. ].

his time prospecting. In his later
years his mental faculties became
seriously impaired.
The accident, which is believed
to have contributed to cause his
death, occurred Sunday. The old
man, while walking down the track,
was seen to drop some papers in
front of a freight train just moving
out. He paused to pick up the
papers and was struck slightly by
the train, causing him to fall and
sustain few scratches.
A cousin of the deceased, a
sheep owner, also named Garth
waite, is said to be living near
Pocatello.

(From the Journal of Fashion.)

NO woman who prizes true beauty
will neglect her eyebrows and aye
lashes. Brushing the eyebrows trains
them TO grow arch-shaped and apply
ing pyroxin will make them grow
thick and silky. Pyroxin applied to
roots will make the lashes grow long
and silky.
TO keep the skin clear. smooth,
fair and plant, use a simple complex
ion beautifier made by dissolving an
original package of mayatone in a
half-pint of witch hazel. Gently mas
sage face. neck n arms with this
and you will escape freckles, tan and
sunburu. 1t prevents thai shiny look
and will no. rub off or show like pow
der. while it gives a lovely, soft and
youthful complexion.
Any person desiring abundant,
glossy hair should use a dry shampoo
frequently. Mix four ounces Of pow.
dered orris root with an original pack
age Of therox and sprinkle a teaspoon.
full Of this mixture on the head and
brush 1t thoroughly through the hair
Therox makes the hair light and
fluffy, and beautifully lustrous.
Paste made by mixing water with
a little powdered delatone and ap.
piled to a hairy surface will remove
every trace of superhuous hair OF
fuzz. Leave the paste on a minute
or two. then remove and wash the
surface. This treatment is safe, sure
and speedy and leaves the skin hair
