THE EVENING STORY.
The Bungalow.
F., Copyright. 1918, by W. Werner. /,

Eliza Martin stood at the window
mending a torn apron. Every third
stitch she glanced down at the street
below. 1t was a narrow street Into
which the hot June sunshine poured,
and from which arose the odors of con-
gested humanity. 1t was a street OF
plain homes, and Ella Martins was as
plain as any-not poor, but lacking in
the things which richer folks find neces-
sary. Yet Eliza Martin was well con-
tent. She had lived in the city all her
life. and in a much poorer way than she
was living now. She was used to coping
with discomforts or ignoring them. Not
that she was particularly strong or that
Abel was strong. though he worked every
day at his trade. Itwas no wonder that
the little girl. Viva. was a delicate child.
This fact constituted Eliza,s one trouble
It was that made her stand at the win
dow and watch for her. She was anxious
from the moment Viva left her sight
until she returned.
When now Viva appeared her heart
gave leap OF relief. The girl was walk
ing slowly. Her strap OF school books
dangied from her hand. Her face was a
white spot under her vide hat. When
she saw her mother at the high window
she waved, but without any strong exu-
berance. She mounted the stairs PAIN
fully and came in exhausted and pant
ing. Her books fell. she pushed of her
hat and sank upon the couch
why. darling" asked Eliza in alarm.
ARE you sick?''
She knelt beside the couch and
smooti1ed back the girls damp hair.
She was all concern and tenderness
Its so hot, moaned Viva, land I'm
so tired. I'm so tired don't care about
anything"
Her. brow was hot, her. eyes dilated,
and yet she had strange pallor Eliza
wondered. She knew little about Illness.
She really never had been sick more
than once or twice in the course of her
whole life. She got UP and, going to the
refrigerator, prepared glass of milk
with splinters Of ice in it. She brought
1t to Viva.
Here. darling. drink this a. 30u'il
feel better" she urged.
Viva looked at the milk and at her
mother She wanted to obey, but dis
taste forbade her. She turned her little.
pale face into the pillow and sobbed: Il
can't mamma, / cant.'
Eliza set the glass down. She did not
know what next to do. She felt very
helpless. Then 1t occurred to her that

became her great enthusiasm. She went
to it eagerly in the morning and left II
reluctantly at night!
Before the summer was over Viva had
became very brown. Her dark hair was
gently faded by the sun. The hollows In
her little neck were not so striking. She
ate and slept we'll Eliza and Abel took
hope once more. Before the year was
over both Abel and Eliza began to see
that they, too. had changed as. much. as
had the girl. They weighed more, they
were stronger, they took q keener interest
IN life, and their views had broadened.
Happiness. indeed, became of an immen-
sity for which there was no accounting
when one day the doctor took tape
measure and smilingly ascertained Viva's
chest development
I've lost my patient he said. well
what are you going to do now?''
I'm going back to school, Viva
breathed. And I'm going to be teach.
er in botany
So Viva went back to school She grew
tall and round. She led her classes and
presently she graduated.
The bungalow was paid for now and
a bank account began slowly to ac-
cumulate again. Viva was going to nor
NAL. There was no reason longer for
Eliza and Abel to stay in the bungalow
They could rent 1t to advantage. Tho
little place on the side hill doubled in
value since they bought 1t.
mo. the bungalow has given us too
much for us to forsake it, said Eliza.
ut is home" Abel murmured. smoking
and watching his garden grow.
It's the dearest and best spot in the
world" cried Viva. II want it to come
back to vacations"
She put an arm around each and drew
them close and kissed them. The future
was full of dreams and promises for her.
but it included them also. And with
them the bungalow.

|. Recommendations that Congress re-
claim the thousands of acres OF arid land
in the west will be made by Secretary
Lane as result of his three-month tour
of inspection In the west. 1T should oe
our endeavor to turn the eye Of the ma

would be as fertile as any land that lies
out doors and on 1t enough meat and
crops could be raised to supply the entire
country.
Il am convinced" he said, that II will
the settlers on the projects now have to
pay for their lands. Ten years-the time
fixed blythe existing la---is too short a
period for the average farmer to get fair
fy on his feet. AS a business proposition
their request for additional time ought
to be granted. for, after getting their
subsistence and paying annually the
amounts required by the. government.
they have not enough surplus to develop
and improve their farms.
Favors Time Extension.
Personally. am in favor of extending
the paying period to about twenty years.
with a free. period of four or five years.
during which 1t would be necessary for
the settlers to make no payments.
Deep interest. particularly in the
northwest. is being manifested in the pro-
posed construction Of government own
ed and government operated railroad In
Alaska. An overland route from this
country to the interior of Alaska would
be of incalculable value. The agricul-
tural and mineral possibilities of Alaska
are immense and / expect. within ten
years. to- see an overland route I'm sue
cessful operation.
"The real complaint of the people of
the west is that there is too much red
tape to be unwound before results are
obtained. I believe that much of the dis
satisfaction could be abated by cutting
out the red tape and 1 propose to devote
time and attention to doing that very
shing.'
