Arthur w. Marks OF Washington

of the Hebrew race for economy.
A little Hebrew got on train in
New York to go to Philadelphia but
had no ticket. In the car with him
were the members of several the
atrical companies and he noticed that.
when the conductor asked them for
their tickets they would reply:
Company"
What company" the conductor
would ask; and the actors would re-
ply by announcing the title OF the
theatrical company under whose
name all their transportation had
been paid for.

ductor finally reached the Hebrew

the stuff that was in them. They i'm

canon at once, knowing little or moth

what they did know, but as Kirkby
had pointed out, the attempt was
clearly impossible. Maitland bitterly
reproached himself for having allow
ed the girl to go alone. and in those
self-reproaches old Kirkby joined.
They were too wet and cold to
sleep. There was no shelter and 1t

Meanwhile the men talked the situa-
tion over very carefully. They were

IL was necessary that the women and
children should be taken back at once
Kirkby hadn't been able to save much
more than enough to eat to get them
back TO ranch or settlement, and on
very short rations at best. 1t was
finally decided that George and Pete
and Mrs. Maitland, the two girls and
the youngster, should go back to the
wagon, drive to the nearest settle
ment, leave the women and then re-
turn on horseback with all speed to
meet Maitland and Kirkby, who would
meanwhile search the canon.
The two men from the east had to

they pleaded gallantly to be allowed

and happiness And without another
