with the air.
Dede did not know he had come
back. and at times he turned his head
and stole glances in at her-at her
efficient hands. at the bronze OF her
brown hair that smoudered with fire
when she crossed the path of sunshine
that streamed through the window. at
the promise of her figure that shot
through him a pang most strangely
sweet and sweetly dear. He heard
her approaching the door. and kept

valley And next. he thrilled, as he
had always thrilled. when he felt the
caressing gentleness of her fingers
through his hair.

Don't you ever have a hankering to
drop it all and go back?"
So great was his anxiety that he
dared not look at her. and when she
laughed and shook her head he was
aware of a great relief. Also. he noted
the undiminshed youth that rang
through that same old-time boyish
laugh of hers.

He drew her lips to his and kissed
her hungrily and passionately.

in him and in her own womanhood

CHAPTER XXI.

But there came the day, one year.
in early April, when Dede sat In an
easy chair on the porch. sewing on
certain small garments. while Day
light read aloud to her. 1t was In
the afternoon, and a bright sun was
shining down on world of new green.
Along the irrigation channels oil the
vegetable garden streams OF water
were flowing. and now and again Day
light broke off from his reading TO run
out and change the flow OF water
Also, he was teasingly interested in
the certain small garments on which
Dede worked. while she was radiant
ly happy over them, though at times.
when his tender fun was too insistent.
she was rosily confused or affection
ately resentful. II was few minutes
later that Daylight, breaking off from
his reading to change the streams OF
irrigation. found that the water had
ceased flowing. He shouldered a pick
and shovel. took hammer and pipe

TO work, he glanced up the path OF
the slide. and he saw what made his
eyes startle and cease for the mo-
ment from questing farther.
Hello" he communed aloud. look
who's here"
His glance moved on up the steep
broken surface, and across 1t from
side to side. Here and there. in
places, small twisted manzanitas were
rooted precariously. but In the main
save for weeds and grass. that portion
OF the canyon was bare There were
signs OF a surface that had shifted
often as the rain poured flow of rich
eroded soil from above over the lip OF
the canyon.
"A true fissure vein. or never saw
one," he proclaimed softly.
Dropping the hammer and pipe

he climbed up the slide to where a
vague line of out-jutting but mostly
soil-covered rock could be seen. 1t

BRYAN TALKS TO
OHIO CONVENTION
Gives His Views on Constitution
Making and Especially That Part
Relating to the Referendum and Re-
call.
BY AsseeIsted Preas.

Columbus, Ohio, March 12.-william
Jennings Bryan today gave the Ohio
constitutional convention his views on
the making OF the constitution. He
SPOKE in favor Of the initiative and
referendum and the recall. saying the
recall is an evolution, rather than
revolution. Mr.. Bryan said:
The only difference between the re-
call as now proposed and impeach-
uIent as II has been employed Is that
in impeachments the trial Is before
a body OF officiais. while the recall
places the decision in the hands Of the
people"
Mr.. Bryan said there was no darker
rage IN our Industrial life than that
which recorded indifference to the
welfare OF the children, the coming
OF dividends out OF childhood, the dark
ening OF prospects Of a rising genera
ton and the Improvement os pos
terity."
In championing the initiative and
referendum, Mr.. Bryan said:
Experience has shown that the de-
fects Of our government are not 1 nthe
PEOPLE themselves, but In those who,
acting az Representatives OF the peo-
ple, embezzle power and turn to their
own advantage the authority given
them for the advancement OF public
welfare.
"The initiative and referendum do
not decrease the importance OF legfs-
lative bodies. nor DO they withdraw
authority from those who are elected
to represent the people; on the con-
II ary, when the people have the initia,-
tive and referendum with which to
pI otect themselves. they can safely
confer a larger authority upon their
representatives"
Concerning courts and recall OF
judges, Mr.. Bryan said:
THE Judge, like every other Of.
ficer, Is the servant Of the people: and
there is no reason why he should be
made independent Of permanent
public opinion upon questions funda-
mental in character.
The judge who would be swervec
by fear Of a recall would not be ri
for the place anyhow. If there Is any
position IN which we need rigid. un.
compromising uprightness, II is In tn,
bench, and the recall instead Of men
acting the indeDendence OF the 80.
dietary, is more likely to improve tn,
character Of those who occupy tu.
dicial positions. With the recall Of.
fetal terms may with safety be mad,
